FUTURE USE OF ELECTRIC

use of such cars when needed the
problem of traffic congestion in the

"The adaptation Of the storage bat,

an incident of the general forward

coal for industrial and domestic pur-
poses from so to 80 per cent, Of the
initial energy Of the fuel is wasted. 1t
is dissipated in smoke to pollute the
atmosphere and to thereby injure the

the general public. There is every
reason to believe that in the good

OF the coal mines. and that power Will
be generated and distributed there

THE SHORT COURSE.

The AGRICULTURAL committee of the
Des Moines Commercial club has pre-
pared a statement urging support LOT
the proposition of increasing the leg1s'
latiye appropriation for the Ames
short course to 100000 year. Prof.
R.K. Bliss of the extension depart
ment at Ames says that agricultural
extension work reached $4,000 peo-
nile in the state of Iowa last year. This
figure. he says, includes $4,000 VINO
listened to special train lectures. There
were about $4,000 reached through the
short course, institutes, etc. This was
done with about $4,000 appropriated
nv the legislature. The Commercial
ciub uses the figures given by Prot.
Rliss al the basis for it's statement,
which says:
.sIf this can be accomplished with
s32. 900. what could be done with $780,
0Oo. always remembering that the rail-
roads will continue to assist by run
ming special trains without charge,
that the farmers will continue to pay
their 50 and 81 for season tickets.
.Mr, Bliss estimates that the farm
era and others contributed $64,3l6 10
extension work last year IN adaltloh
to the sum spent by the state. mas
much as but twenty-five short courses
were held last year and there were
over ninety applications, it would ap-
near that if the state would 40 us
share in providing the men anu the
foundation for the short courses, IL
could be reasonably expected the farm
ers and other interests would con
tribute something like $25O,OO0! to tine
support of the work. The very fact
that over ninety communities peu-
toned for short courses is the pest
evidence that the farm communities
are ready to pay If the state Will put
give them the opportunity.
"At Ames there is an investment OF
s2,250 900 and about 100000 has been
spent each year for buildings, lands,
salaries and other expenses. Primarily
Ames is an agricultural college. Inc
schools has been in existence for thirty
two years. In that time less than 400
students have been graduated from
the agricultural courses and the
average enrolment for these courses
is less than 1000.
"This expenditure is necessary to
create the foundation for extension
work. but is it wise to keep the infor-
marion obtained at such a cost to the
neonle bottled up at Ames, when, if the
results given by Mr.. Bliss Will nold up
an expenditure of $6S,OO0 more year
by the state for extension work VIII
carry it out to about l62,ooo snort
course attendants each year ana TO
total Of 3S7 900 persons reached by the
extension methods now used? These
figures are three times the number

reached last year and are IN proper
