voters themselves or through their
husbands.
But that isn't all. Secretary
Houston is no piker. He isn't cur
rying for favor. Rather he is al
truistic.
Now here John Jones out in
Pojunk Greek. He employs a lot
of men. Maybe they're working
long hours and apparently not pro-
ducing quite the result that John
expected. Right there, the Depart
ment of Agriculture steps in.
You re working them beyond the
point of maximum efficiency, says
a bulletin made up in attractive
and readable fashion. Then it
starts to prove why and wherefore.
In simple, direct language, with
ample illustrations provided to a
mathematical nicely, the bulletin
demonstrates to John that he could
really accomplish more if he put
scientific system into his day s
work.
And then there's Bill Smith out
in the Lost Creek region. The in
sects are eating up his trees and
crops.
Again Secretary Houston comes
to the rescue. He doesn't preach.
No, he sends out another pamphlet
called the Weekly Letter to Crop
Correspondents. 1t makes an ap-
peal such as "How the farmer can
use facilities of the United States
Department of Agriculture and
proceeds to let Bill Smith know
that he has great big friend down
in Washington, who wants to see
the crops flourish and have Bill
prosper.
Uncle Sam scores again, and
gets lot of friends.
One more thing. Uncle Sam
ism t entirely satisfied with his eff
forts. He wants to get right close
to the farmer hearts, so he's plan
ming to publish magazine-pic-
lures and stories-with useful
lesson, but above all else, popular
with his country cousins.

Words of Commerdation

Delaware sets an admirable ex-
ample in offering prizes to the
farmers for corn and potato-grow
ing. The sweepstakes prize for the
best acre in the Diamond State
gives the successful corn-grower
the chance of adding 500 to the re-
turns from his crop. In each of
the three counties there are three
minor prizes aggregating $40 for
the same cereal. In addition five
prizes are offered for the best acre
Of white potatoes.
Nowhere are the farmers more
eager to profit from the improved
methods of agriculture developed
at the experiment farm than in Del
aware. Frequent lectures In var
ious parts of the State make known
the results of patient and intelli-
gent investigation by experts. 1t
was believed that previous prizes
had sufficiently encouraged the i'm
provement of the corn and potato
crops, but the farmers have per-
suaded the State Board of Agricul-
ture to continue the desirable
awards.
This course is commendable ami
wise, because the spirit of emuls-
ton promoted by the contests and
the natural qualification and pres
tige of the prize winners are GER
tain to stimulate the farmers 10
their best efforts. Delaware goes
quietly along progressive paths,
and no one need make pilgrim
age half way across the continent
to sit up in admiration of "the
WISCONSIN idea," while our I'M
mediate neighbors are applying the
same principles to the enlighten-
ment of the rural population.

THE LANGUAGE OF
COMMON FOLK
HEREAFTER TO FEATURE AGRICULTURAL PUB
LEGATIONS

Secretary Houston is trying out
a new stunt with the Department
OF Agriculture. He wants to popu-
larize the government s work to aid
farmers.
The immediate fruit of his new
plan is that high-brow literature
doesn't go at the department any
more. Scientific sharps who used
to delight in fve-syllable crack
ers and revel in Latin terminology
for insects that the farmers knew
as just plain bugs, are being curb
ed. Plain United States language
is taking the place of scientific ver-
biage. Moreover, the department Is
bulletins have been "dressed up"
with new covers. Up to the time
Houston took over the job of boss
ing the Agricultural Department,
all Federal employees thought the
government publications ought to
be fixed up in the same way--a
plain cover and title page with no
trimmings. They looked dull even
if they weren't. But Houston has
devised decorative little headings
and tail pieces for the agricultural
bulletins. 1t makes them look more
like the farmers literature sup
piled by the commercial publishing
firms.
Moreover, Houston has hired a
press agent. Of course, he isn't car
ried on the rolls under that title,
because Congress has an antipathy
for publicity agents. He is desig,
mated as the chief of the informa,
ton bureau. His job is to spread
information. He is supposed to
keep newspapers full Of little items
about the work Of the department
Houston himself came out with
a rquest the other day for advice
He wants farmers and their wives
to tell him how to make his depart.
ment more valuable to them. II
was a happy thought, that inclu,
sion of the farmers wife.
That is popularizing a dry-as,
