A Busy Day

The street scenes in Extra, last
Saturday reminded one of the cele-
bration periods when nearly all
adjacent and for miles around,
were dealing or visiting, or out for
a spring time aiming. Hundreds
were in town and every place to
which a team could be tied was
occupied. Next Saturday is the
regular Auction Sale day. Every-
one is invited to bring in your
surplus stock, poultry or veficles.

In Men1oriam

In memory cf Delbert Reed How
land. who died February 3. 1915
of tvohdd fever:
Deares Delbert thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel:
Bat it's God who hs at bensft us,
He will ali our sorrows heal
When we see the flower dropping,
How our hearts with sorrow
>swel!s,
'0h how sad TO think OF losing
The darling one We loved so we'll.
Yes, it's our darling who was taken,
When right in his youth and
bloom,
And today is cwly lying
In his dark and silent tomb
He was very strong and healthy.
Until within few short weeks,
When his step grew slow and weary
And the roses left his cheeks.
Everything was done to aid him.
But it proved of little worth,
For an angel whispered softly
Follow me you're done with earth
Each friend of his now is in mourn
ing
As they think of this LIE ins-
begun,
So soon from this earth should be
taken,
But we know Gods will has beer
done.
Parents, sisters and brothers youth
miss him
When his vacant chair you see,
But remember God has called him.
So you must contented be-
Forever, We'll miss you, dsar Del
brt
In sorrow we're left alone.
But we hope Well meat you IL
heaven,
When God calls zach Of us aope.

WILLIAM E. DAVIS
Will Be Home to Friends in Exira
h by March 1st. Read Chipping
from Scranton, Pa. Republican.
Where is William E. Davis.

Where is William e. Davis.
Mrs. Lucy Hasberry, of 22O Nortk
Sumner Avenue. West Scranton,
wants to know.
Davis is seNenty-four years old
worth narly 500, 900, and came to
Wilkes-Barre ON Saturday from Ex-
ira, Audubon County, Iowa He is
searching for his cousin, who is
Mrs. Hasberry.. Davis thought that
she Lived in Pittston on Sherman
avenue, but when he arrived there
he found no such avenue and went
to Wilkes-Barre, where he en-
gagged the services cG the police
and the newspapermen to look for
his cousin. Now the wealthy Iowan
is missing end the authorities of
Wllkes-Barre don't know where he
is, neither does his cousin here.
1t was generally surmised that
Davis, upon being informed that his
cousin lived in this city would
start for Scranton but he didn't.
So now, instead of him looking fer
his couisn she is looking for him
and worried.
1t is lot thought, howey,.. that
the Iowa man met with an accident.
and Mrs. Hasbehhy and her dsugll-
ters here are Inclined to believe
that he fell in with some old
Time friends and is njoying him
self.
Davis made a fortune in Extra
raising cattle. He had not been
In this section for fifty-seven years.
Last Thanksgiving he wrote a
letter to Mrs. Hasberry here ask
ing her to come and visit him I'M
Iowa. Mrs. Hasberry is we'll up i'm
the seventies and she had a daugh-
tsr write back and inform Davis
that on account Of her age she
would be unable to make the iour-
ney. Davis intended to surprise
the West Scranton woman and
started East last week He must
nave gotten Mrs. Hasberry's letter
m xed with other mail, as he I'M
formed the Pittston police that Mrs.
Hasberry in her letter to him stat
ed that she resided at l2o sher-
man avenue, Pittston.'
n, B. Don't b worried as it is

LARGE WHEAT CROP
The Bess Crop OF Wheat Audubon
County Ever Had Was Sown in
February. Froze Up in March.

The best crop of wheat consider
ing the average number of bushels
per acre ever raised in Audubon
County was in 1881. A finer berry
never grew and the bushels per
acre were satisfactory to the hus-
baRdman. The price per bushel
was SO cents.
This winter, so far, reminds us
OF that season, scarcely any snow
and the after part of February
was so warm that wheat was near.
#iy all sown in that month while
March was cold and the ground
froze. The odd heads said, SOW
your wheat again, but none, took
the advice, the crop was great.

The following article is be-
lieved to be worthy OF the most
careful reading and consideration b.
every citizen of Audubon County,
and the Journal asks that it re-
ceiWe this much from every person
to whom it comes.
The day of slip-shod farming is
past. The value of land has risen
SO high that neither owner nor ten
ant can afford to use the methods
which were good enough when it
was worth $50 per acre.
Yet there are very many farms
in Audubon County which are pro-
ducing only thirty to forty bushels
of corn per acre, and ON which the
small grain crops are grown at no
profit, or even in many cases at
an actual loss, merely because the
system of rotation demands it.
There are very many well-informed
people who believe that the sol, of
Audubon County is producing from
twenty to thirty per cent less than
it is capable of producing and
would produce if handled property.
Moreover, they seem to be right
THERE is A BETTER WAY
Many counties of the Middle West
where land is highest, are employ
ing agricultural, experts. These
men are not merely graduates of
agricultural schools. They are the
ablest soil and animal flusbandry
experts who understand the PRAC-
TICAL as we'll as the scientific side
of fSrming. Only those are en-
ployed who are recommended by
the United. States Department. of
Agriculture and by the state coll
lege of agriculture.
Among the important duties,
VIII ch these men perform when
employed by the various counties
are the Following:
They conduct experimental work,
usually on the county poor farm,
and on number of private farms
throughout the county demonstra-
ting before the eyes of local farm
ers the best methods OF culture
and cf fertilization CT the soil.
Few farmers know just what ele-
ments have been exhausted from
a.
it's " rg:n richness.
They develop and breed on
these experimental frames more
productive strains of corn and small
grains suited to local soil and
| conditions. Methods by which,
! yarit.es are improved and made
more prolific thus become matters
OF general knowledge. And the SUI
pericr seed produced is distriBhied ed
under their supervision at a rea-
sonable price among the farmers
of the county.
They organize and direct the
work of dairy test associations. q
which there is very great need in

will make dairying highly profit
