day, the total amount for all would be
approximately $67,0O0,000 a year. Ap-
ply this in legitimate channels of
trade and you will have this result:

SOME MIGHTY POOR EXCUSES
Temperance Worker Meets With Many
Peculiar Pretences In Seeking to
Enlist Recruits.

TITS not my concern" I'm not es-
pecially interested in the subject" are
excuses which meet the temperance
worker who endeavors to enlist re-
cruits in the war against the liquor
traffic. Do those who speak realize
what commentary theT are making
upon their patriotism? What reason
can they give for failing to be con-
cerned in an evil which is destroying
young men by the thousand, wasting
the substance Of thousands more, and
lowering the efficiency Of a multitude
of workers? How can they explain
their lack Of interest in a subject so
vital to future generations2 Were our
nation at war with one Of the world
powers, who would dare to stand up
before his fellows and admit that he
was not interested In the outcome Of
the struggle? All the horrors Of war
sink into insignifcance beside the
tyrannies and atrocities for which the
legalized liquor traffic is responsible.

Total Abstinence and Sport.

English Football association, in the
course of a health lecture at Shelf
field showed that the best condi-
tions of physical achievements and
endurance were obtained under total
abstinenca Two thousand years ago
the youth VI Greece entering the Olym-
pic games were urged to abstain from
wine. IN his younger days, when he
played football, and won about 120
prizes. including so firsts ON the run
ming traak, fellow-competitors remark
ed to him that as he was an abstain
er he had an advantage and ought to
give them a start. Mr. Clegg attacked
the system in vogue In England OF
putting footballers in public-houses,
and he declared that If the men did
not touch the drink, the hours spent
in the air of a public-house put the
men off form, and he gave instances of
this having occurred.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
in describing the work of county
agriculturist, it is important that at
the outset we avoid the name of eX-
pert, or even specialist, for these men
do not pose as experts on all things
agricultural They may be specialists
IN one branch of agricultural kriowl-
edge, but this is only one among the
many important functions that they
may perform for a county.
They are in a real sense county
agricultural representatives; secre-
taries or commissioners of agriculture
for the county. They represent the
agricultural interests of county
primarily, though not as separate
from its other economic and social
activities but in their close interde-
pendence with all of the other in
terests of the county, such as the
manufacturing, commercial, educa-
tional and religious.
The county agriculturists are to
the agricultural development of a
county what the secretaries of the
commercial clubs of our more pro-
gressive cities are to the business and
social development of the city. They
also represent the agricultural activity
of the county in its relation to the
Agricultural College and the Expert
ment Station. This relation is, or
ought to be, one of interdependence
and cooperation, not one of ST.
periority and subordination.
The College Learns from Farmer.
The colleges and experiment sta
tions realize that their function is not
merely to give information to the
farmer but also to receive informa-
ton from him and the stimulus to
greater activity that comes from be-
ing in close touch with the many
difficult problems of practical farm
ing. The county representative is
able to gather many of these valuable
experiences of the farmers of his
county and to carry them to other
farmers and to the college While he
does not pretend to give the advice
of the specialist on all of the many
complex problems, yet his extensive
acquaintance with the more urgent
needs and his constant and close
touch make him a very efficient inter-
mediary between the farmer and the
experiment stations and the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and he can be
the means of most rapid communica-
ton with these specialists and can
bring them to his county to advise
upon the specific problems to which
they give their whole time.

FARM CROPS AT LOWER COST
By Raymond Olney, Power-F Farming
Expert.
tNationai Crop improvement Service,

(National Crop Improvement Service)
That which the farmer works hard
est for is profits. His whole energy
is bent on increasing his labor income.
His chief aim is to produce bigger
and better crops at a decreased cost.
But to accomplish high percentage
of results requires the best equipment
he can provide for carrying on his
work.
The average farmer is too often at
serious disadvantage because of the
lack of equipment for his farm work.
No matter how favorable other condi-
tions may be, power and implements
are essential.
1t is big saving to have the proper
equipment to perform the different
operations as they should be. The
increased use of labor-saving machines
has largely cut down the amount of
man labor that is required on every
farm. Also it has made it possible for
each worker to accomplish more work.
1t has increased his working capacity
and has made him more efficient.
By giving more attention to de-
creasing the cost of producing crops
the farmer will find surer and bigger
profits than he will from high market
prices. In other words, he should not
depend entirely for his profits on the
high prices he may or may not get
when he markets his products. The
most sensible and profitable thing for
him to do is to give most of his at
tention to cutting down the expenses
of producing his crops. He should
make his profits doubly sure by cut
ting down the cost of production.
The fundamental Importance of
power-farming machinery is that it
i enables the farmer to produce his
crops with less expense and also
makes it possible for him to handle
a much greater acreage. Agricultural
authorities have proven that increased
crop yields depend upon three essen
tials-seed, soil and thorough tillage.
Thorough tillage, which is doubtless
most important, depends absolutely
upon power and machinery.
The general-purpose farm tractor
has in sense made it necessary for
the farmer to buy more equipment
but at the same time it has decreased
in much larger proportion the cost
of producing the crops. 1t has in
creased the usefulness of each ma
chine, and though in the first place il
involves large investment, the far
mer should nevertheless provide him.
self with sufficient tools to perform
his work properly.
The farmer should at all times have
thought of the biggest profits fore,
most in his mind. At the same time
he should not forget that large in,
come is not possible without gooC
equipment The best results depenC
directly upon the machines used anC
the intelligence exercised in selecting
and using them TO get the most out o.

DIGGS PUTS BLAME ON THE GIRL
Says She Was Responsible For Now
Notorious Trip to Reno.


San Francisco, Aug. 20.-When the
trial of Maury l. Diggs, charged with
violation of the Mann white slave act,
was resumed, it was generally believed
that taking of testimony would be con-
cluded before the afternoon adjourn
ment and that the case probably would
go to the jury some time today.
Diggs took the witness stand in his
own behalf shortly after the proceed
lngs began. Many women We're in
court. Mrs. Diggs was waiting to
testify after her husband had told his
story.
Diggs was extremely voluble in his
testimony He wanted to leave Sacra-
meAto alone, he testified, but Miss
Warrington insisted on accompanying
him.
You're not going away to leave me,
are you?" he asserted she exclaimed.
1t was Miss Warrington, too, Diggs
asserted, who persuaded Miss Norris to
join the party when she demurred.
did Miss Warrington once call Cami-
netti a 'piker?" asked Attorney Dew
lin, because he refused to go to San
Francisco, saying he needed the money
it would cost to pay his wife's hospital
billsY"
Yes, she said that" replied Diggs.
And she added: We have framed it
all up and you must co."
Responding to another query, Diggs
stated that Caminetti told him Mrs.
Caminetti had been before the juvenile
court to have the quartet prosecuted
and their affairs broken up. T.
