rect some erroneous impressions con-
corning my report on the housing and
living conditions In Richmond In it
made no statement in opposition TO
annexation. l merely stated CERTAIN
facts which were disclosed by my in
vestigations. While there Is muck va
cant land space within the present city
limits. there is no doubt that if the
city conveniences. such as water
mains. sewers. streets, etc, could be
extended over larger area it would
be a distinct benefit to the entire COM
munity In how far such an extension
would make the land within or with
out the present city limits more

country to extend the limits of cities.

area and poulation of cities. and no
doubt such extensions have been ad-
vantageous in many cases.
Another erroneous impression is
that / advocated the crowding out of
yards and thus congesting the popu-
lation. We should endeavor to avoid
alley houses as well as large tene-
ments. 1t has been the experience OF
larger cities that both are unavoidable
in sections where large numbers of
people must necessarily live and where
the lots are too deep to permit the
economical construction of small
house on the street fronts only. Phil
adelphia which is deservedly called
the ''city of homes" has earned its
reputation largely because the shallow
lots in the newer sections OF that city
have made it possible for working
people to rent or acquire their homes
at prices within their reach Rich
mond is growing rapidly. and if we
can AVOID the evils OF the alley house

SpirelIa.

The secret of perfect dressing, lies
in the selection of the right corset
model and the proper fitting, adjusting
and wearing of the same. The best
made corset in the world is not your
corset unless it is your model, made
for your type in your style, fitted to
your individual measures and SO ad-
justed and worn that it meets your
personal requirements. There must
be that perfect harmony which makes
an unconscious oneness between the
well dressed woman and her corset.
At the same time the corset must have
power to persuade the flesh out of
irregular lines and mold the figure in
to pleasing curves of shapeliness and
grace to meet the love of beauty in
every woman's nature.
To preserve the soft outline of the
natural figure, and yet properly dis
tribute the flesh and support and
strengthen the muscles without i'm
peding circulation or COMPRISING any
vital organ, requires corset scientif-
ically made, correctly fitted and prop
erly adjusted on the individual wearer.
To render such service is the mission

AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS
FOR IDAHO FARMERS

Until this plan is followed the farmer
will continue to plod along the way his
father taught him. We must carry the
agricultural college to the farm.
| Where does the business man pros
per?
The prosperity of any country de-
ponds on it's rural population. When
the wheat crop fails Wall street fails.
Business fails even before the harvest
comes, if the prospects are poor.
If we can increase the grain crop
so three bushels grow where two grew
before the millers' business is in
creased one half. If we can get the
farmer to grow pasture mixtures
which will support two cows where
one had fed before, the butchers bust
ness is doubled.
How He Can Be Secured.
A Chicago philanthropist has given
into the hands of Bert Ball, secretary
Iof the North American Grain Ex-
change, $1,O00,00O to be distributed
at the rate of $1,000 for one year to
any county in the United States which
will raise $500 for the purpose of
farmers advisor. This
$500 may be raised by popular sub
scription or in any way deemed adj
visable. Dean Carlyle of the Idaho
university at Moscow will guarantee
to secure a competent man for the
work and will give him every possible
assistance to make the undertaking a
success. After the first the federal
of agriculture will provide
$1,000 yearly for each county employ
ing an advisor
When this money is donated from
whatever source those who donate do
not control it nor the man who carries
on the work. In other words, because
a person subscribes a certain amount
he is not privileged to dictate to the
advisor where in the county nor how
he is to spend his time. This applies
also to the donation of $1,000 from Mr.
Ball. Dean Carlyle will supervise the
work of all advisors and they will re-
port to him.

R. B. Coglon, seed commissioner OF
the members of the commercial club at
their meeting Monday night, took for
, his subject, "The Educated Farmer
and laid down some very important
regulations concerning the growing of
farm products, says the Weiser Sig
nal. He said that there were many
people who were prejudiced regarding
the university farmer and in this re-
spect he had three reasons why they
were SO. One of these, he said, was
the overzealous student and the other
incompetent in structors.
He also said that one reason that
the average farmer was against the
university method was because he did
not understand what he was talking
about. He asked the following ques-
lions and answered them as follows:
What have our agricultural colleges
given us?
1. Dry farming system, which has
created from what at one time was
called the great American desert, thet
greatest wealth-producing area Of the
western hemisphere.
2. The principles by which dairy
cows produce $4,000 pounds of milk
instead of $500 pounds.
8. Strains of corn and methods of
cultivation which make possible yields
of 200 bushels to the acre instead of
only 43, as Iowa claims this year.
4. The means of preventing cereal
smuts, which have saved from destruc-
ton from SO to 80 per cent of the whole
wheat crop of the nation and 1000
other things for which they do not al
ways get credit. Perhaps there are
other things just as important and
that would seem as convenient if the
practice.
They fail with new systems be-
cause they Leave out or attempt only
an essential of the new method The
require more demonstration and less
instruction. That was the plan car
ried out in North Dakota We dem
onstrated how to dry farm, how to
select seed grain, how to judge cows, |
how to treat flax for wilt.
