UNCLE SAM TRAINER OF BOYS
Experts Are Lecturing on Scientific

Short Cuts Are Found.

There are noticeable benefits to be
obtained from his educational meth
DDS, writes John Duffy in Leslie's
Weekly. The sons of farmers are dis
covering the value of science in agri-
culture. They are finding many short
cuts to results their fathers worked
long to obtain. They are experiencing
the need of Investigation OF crops
and the success 1t brings They are
being shown that the farm is the
place for them; that there is health,
wealth and happiness In following In
the footsteps OF their farmer fathers.
Hundreds OF boys-in the main
sons OF parents who are unable to
send them to agricultural schools
are gathered together at frequent in
teryals to hear an expert discuss the
latest and most scientific methods OF
farming and the making Of particular
crops. To the scientific methods Of
the experts they are able to bring the
results of their own experiences on
the farms Of their fathers; they are
able to receive and exchange ideas
and to achieve practical results in
way seldom obtained by the best agrt

English War AeropIanes.

After long deliberation and much ex.
perimenting, England has finally &C.
knoWledged the necessity of the aero
plane in modern warfare, and has
placed its seal of approval therein with
an initial order for sixty machines.
This number will be increased to one
hundred just as soon as a sufficient
number of sky pilots can be trained
to navigate them. To fully appreci-
ate the Importance which this arm Of
the service has already attained, one
must note the appropriations for the
current year by the three great Con-
tinental powers. France will spend
$6,250,000, a sum sufficient to build a
very fair Warship; Germany, $780,.

COOPERATION REALLY PAYS
Farmers OF Central Kansas Form Or
ganlzation for Purpose Of Buying
and Selling Crops.

Ten cars of seed wheat, sold at a
long advance over Kansas City prices.
were shipped by the Lost Springs
(kansas1 farmers union this year. In
addition large quantity Of seed was
sold in smaller lots. This extensive
marketing OF dfgh priced seed wheat
was made possible by cooperative
growing and selling.
Lost Springs is small town In CEN
trail Kansas. It is in a rich farming
region The farmers grow good crops
and they determined to get the best
prices for them. So they organized
a union and now they do their own
buying and selling in large lots. When
the union was organized the number
of its members could easily have been
counted on the fingers of two hands.
Cooperation might be good thing,
but most Of the farmers in the coun-
try near Lost Springs desired to be
shown before they Joined. They soon
were converted. writes Floyd B. Mich
OILS. In the Orange Judd Farmer. Now
the membership has increased to over
50. Almost ali of the farmers within
ten miles of Lost Springs belong to the
union.
So far this year the union has
shipped 81 cars of wheat to be sold
for milling purposes. The wheat
that was shipped to the central mar
kets brought an average of five cents
a bushel. after the freight and other
expenses were paid, more than the
local buyers offered. They have
shipped az cars OF corn and nine
cars of oats, which were sold at two
to six cents advance over the prices
offered by the local buyers.
The union also has handled GOO
bushels Of kaf1r corn, 500 bushels cane
seed. 225 gallons .of kerosene and 40
gallons of gasoline SO far this year
Thus, by the system OF distribution
which the Lost Springs farmers have
worked out the middlelnan is elimi-
mated. The producer and consumer
can divide his profits.
Seed wheat Is one of the special
ties Of the members of this associa-
ton. Every farmer grows pure Khark-
of wteat-Wheat that was reported
as excellent by a representative OF
the milling department of the Kan
sas agricultural college last June.
The original seed was purchased in
carload lots two years ago. All the
wheat in the neighborhood is uni
formly pure kharkof.
