William j. Spillman is in charge
of the acknowledgement bureau in
Washington. Recently ne discussed
the duties of the farm agents. "Just
what does this man do?" he was
asked. "The first thing we instruct
him to do, he said, lis this: we re-
alize there are always farmers in
that county who know more about
farming on their farms than anybody
else knows. We instruct him to hunt
up all these highly successful farmers
and learn all they know. After a man
has made careful study of hundreds
of farms in one county. if he is the
right kind of man, he will know
more about farming in that county
than any one man, because he has
gotten to know so many of them. -
eve say, eve know there are lots
of men in this county who know a
great deal more than we know about
certain phases of farming here, and
we want to get that and make it pub
lie property-give it to the other
farmer who does not know-and we
are going about now to learn. At
ter man has made a study of hun
dreds of the best farms the county,
he becomes visitor on any farm in
that county, and we find the more
advanced and progressive farmer is
the more eager he is to have these
men visit his farm. He gets over
the county in his little automobile
and he can visit about 20 men in a
day. If they are close together he
can visit more than that. and fre.
quently he will get 40 or so of them
together at school house and talk tc
them. In one hour he will get the
situation before these farmers. We
have one man in Bedford county,
Pa, who has been at work three
yaers, and he has this year 1,70C

LOSS AND ACCIDENT.
If man would use a little fere-
sight and precaution there would be
no need of accidents on farm. IF
his hay stack tips over and kills some
| of his cattle that is simply matter
of negligence and not the result, of
an accident. If he allows things
like that to happen no one is to blame
but himself. If a thing Of that kind
happened on one of the State Expert

ment would consider himself RESPONSE

Weekly Cotton Review

New York. August 8.-The cotton mar
ket has shown continued nervousness and
irreguarity during the past week. The
advance on the government crop report
of last Friday was made then lost on
reports of rain In the southwest over
Sunday, but the weekly weather report
of Tuesday claimed that both Texas and
Oklahoma We're still drouthy and prices
have since recovered part of their loss.
Business, however. has remained very
quiet. There have been southern selling
here, supposedly against the new crop.
but offerings of this sort have been in
no great volume. On the other hand.
while spinners are credited with buying
moderately against forward needs, their
demand has appeared more in evidence on
declines to around or below the 11-cent
level than on advances.
Meanwhile speculative interests re-
mains comparatively small. and nervous

Saturday. At the highest the trading
months were to points over last

The market fell off at the week end on
hope of rain In the western belt over
Sunday. 1t was a weather market the
week through, with the drouth in Texas
and Oklahoma the main sustaining in
fuence. Both states sent in alarming re-
ports of deterioration as the result of the
dry hot weather that has been prevail
ing over wide and important cotton
producing area for some time. Reports
from the eastern belt were most encour-
aging and indicated that the crop was
doing well under copious rains. These
accounts, in some measure, balanced the
unfavorable reports from the western
belt.
The market was held down merely by
the lack of buying power. Houses that
make speciality of-hedge trading claimed
that they were doing next to no business
Speculation for the rise was absent and
moderate selling served to hold the mar
ket down. On the whole, 1t was a dull
week with every small volume of business
transacted.
