EXPANSION OF OUR FARMING
Great Economic Question Is to Get
Away Completely From Small
Yields and Crop Failures.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)


I believe that the time has come
when more capital in the form of EN-
ployed labor, fertilizers, farm ma
chinery, animals food and more ex
tensive intensive tillage can be sue
cessfully applied to our farming. The
great economic question Is not small
farms or more acres, but the complete
getting away from small yields and
crop failures. Not only more acres
titled. but each acre titled far better.
Any system of crop growing Is on a
safer foundation when the bulk of the
field crops are fed to the live stock
and the resulting manure saved and
applied to the fields with as little loss
as possible. Pursuing this course and
buying fertilizers to encourage the
growth of highly organized truck and
market crops enables US to expand
our farming.

chance of the shells becoming cracked
in handling. The housewife can cook
these fowls in any way that wild game
would be prepared for the table, or
can cook them like young chicken.
AS a potpie they cannot be surpassed,
or when roasted with stuffing they
tempt the poorest appetite.
The fowls are quite heavy for
their size, and weigh more accordingly
when dressed than other fowls, as the
proportion of waste Is less. Tho
breast Is very full and meaty, being
the best part Of the fowl. If one will
use care that inbreeding Is not kept
up in the flock, the size of the fowls
will be kept up to a standard; other
wise there will be quite noticeable
elimination in size In very few
years.

All traces Of the rotten wood of

Hon. lanes Lewis Tells Voters Of
Lincoln Co., Why They Should
Elect Mrs. Clifford County
Supt. of Schools.

The writer has been a consistent
advocate of good schools and higher
education OF the people. In t Is lies
the future Of our County, State and
Nation. No opportunity should be
overlooked In securing the best
teachers and school officers II best re-
suits are to be obtained and no office
In the county Is so important as that
OF superintendent Of schools, where
not only ability, education and train
ing are essential, but broad exper-
fence in school work, strong person.
atty and ability TO organize and
| direct the forces OF education OF the
county just as a general marsnais his
army for a general attack along the
line.
Mrs. o. s. Clifford is a candidate for
that office and no better selection
could be made at the coming pri-
maries In March The writer was for
nine veal a member and for seven
years president OF the Canton school
board and served in that position
most OF the six years Mrs. Clifford,
then Miss Jennie Rudolph, served as
principal and had exceptional oppor-
tunity to appraise her ability and
measure results OF her work.
Up to that time the school had
not been getting anywhere-had no
objective. Miss Rudolph insisted
that the school be graded, organized,
a course Of study prepared and a SEN
Tor class be worked up and a start
made. Through her efforts and the
loyal assistance of the board this was
done and the first class was graduated
| which was the most important event
In the school history Of Canton.
Mrs. Clifford is a woman OF broad
education, of large and varied exper-
fence In school work, has the tact and
sympathy to draw and direct her
forces In the interests of harmony
and progress.
Mrs. Clifford Is a force and factor IN
meetings of the State Educational
Association where her worth and
ability we're recognized and in which
body she served as secretary for four
years.

School Children in Boston.

Does it nay to give physical examin-
atoms to school children and to re-
port to the parents any defects or i'm
pairmentS from which the children
may be found To be suffering? Some
declare not; but the experience OF the
people Of Boston is the other way.
Human Factor, an insurance health
journal, tells of the results in Boston,
as follows:
Last year Boston's 81 school physi-
clans under the direction OF DR.. w.
Gallivan, examined nearly 10000
school children. or these about 49,
600 or one-third were without defects
and about $4,000 had defects that
needed medical attention.
The special feature of the work OF
the year was an attempt to ind out
how many defects we're corrected
through the Initiative OF parents,
after they had been notified by the
school physicians.
Result: at the end of the year anoth=
or examination was made and it was
found that 10 per cent Of the defec-
tive palates had been attended TO, "A
per cent of the skin diseases, % per
cent of the defective teeth,. 43 per
cent of the bad tonsils, &C per cent OF
the malnutrition. IS per cent OF the
ner vous diseases.
There are many cities that are me-
glecttng the health OF their school
children. They do not seem to be
sure that it would pay. Why should
they hesitate longer?
