The following, which comes to us
from the State Normal School ut
Cape Girardcau IL on "A subject that
is interesting farmers throughout
the State, and may interest our far
mrr readers:
No movement has grown so rapid
Iy or attracted so much attention
during the past year as the placing
Of trained men in each county to
guide and direct agricultural work.
Cape Girardeau County was the
first in the state to secure such Il
man, supported alone by county and
state aid. We do not believe that
We have the panacea for all agrarian
ills nor the solution Of all rural pro-
blems; but we are accomplishing n
few things. Remember that the adj
vice and direction Of the county man
does not have to be followed unless
the individual so wishes. More than
that, unless you definitely ask him
W Nlsll NOuI luIlll VI w ''hI'I WIN
you, he will not come near you.
There are so many requests on the
time of our adviser that he has a
waiting list, taking up those in each
part of the county as possible.
Here where we had so much trouble
with hog cholera 1t was necessary to
answer such calls first. So success
full has Farm Adviser Williams been
In treating hog cholera that this
work alone has saved many thou
sand dollars to the county.
But saving hogs is not the only
duty OF Farm Adviser, nor work
ing with stock, although much is be-
ing done along these lines. In breed
Ing horses movement is being done
along these lines. In breeding
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1913-01-30

horses n movement Is being started
that in few years will be worth
more to the county than the saving
OF the hogs.
The work with soils and farm crops
Is very important. On the county
poor farm plots have been measured
of and treated with the commercial
fertilizers, farm manures aud green
manures. The crops from these
when harvested and their value de-
tcrlnined together with their cost
Will give some information needed
by every farmer in the county.
This work is not II duplication of
any work being done at Columbia,
but supplement to that work, bring
ing 1t right home to us aud giving it
to us In form that can be used.
Variety plots of wheat have also
been started. Here on measured
plots OF ground different varieties of
wheat have been planted, all will
have the same soil and cultivation.
and In few years we will know the
best wheat to plant in Cape County.
The same work will be done this
spring with corn and other crops.
But saving hogs and increasing
wheat and corn yields should not
consume the entire time of the
County Farm Adviser. The great
est crop OF all crops is boys and
girls. Working in the schools, aid
ing the teacher in her work In agri-
culture, assisting IN school Judging
contests and at local fairs and
shows, and by many other ways can
the boys and girls be awakened to
the great possibilities and opportun-
tiles offered them by agriculture.

Exemption OF Coastwise Ships
From Canal Tolls a Subsidy

Washington, ID. c., Jan. To-
Chairman Adamson Of the House
Commerce Committee In n formal
statement today predicted that one
OF President-elect Wilson'S first re-
quests ON the incoming Congress
would he for repeal of the free pas
sage provision in the Panama Canal
act applying to American ships.
"If Secretary Knox succeeds in
avoiding or postponing the demands
of England, said Mr.. Adamson,
abe will undoubtedly remove all
foundation for the illogical claims
of our people, who say they are OPP.

discrimination in favor Of coastwise
ships from tolls, which is "A subsidy
England may justly complain that
If the canal is to be used as an in
strument To distribute subsidies un-
der the treaty, those subsidies must
be equal To all nations.

rich the coastwise shipping trust

Improbable to maintain any sort Of
row with her, commercial, diplomatic
or warlike, to defend the inhiction
of an incidental discrimination

robbery OF our treasury and the
masses OF the people To confer bene-
fits upon u special interest.

REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Firm Undertone Rules the
Short SeSSiOn-Volume
Shows Increase.

Considering the uncertainty over
hanging the stock market, due TO the
unsettled conditions and the feverish
state of the money market, stocks yes
.erday gave an excellent account or
themselves during the halliday session.
No one looked for great activity; con-
sequently, there was no disappointment
The undertone was strong, and, com
pared with several previous Saturdays,
here was increased volume OF sales.
The market continued to be under the
influence Of professional operators, ana
the few signs of buying could be traced
20 a source that seemed TO indicate
revival of public interest. The news or
The day did not offer stimulation, eX-
sept there seemed to be a prospect OF
something definite TO be expected from
WASHINGTON i'm currency legislation
within a reasonably short period.
Trade reviews of the week, while gen
,rally unfavorable, gave as one cause OF
diminished interest in business the
nildness of the weather.
Prices opened yesterday with a few
unimportant changes and decided
tendency to dulncss. In Union Pacific
and Canadian Pacific initial prices were
fractionally above Fridays closing, but
in Reading, United states Steel Anal
gamated Copper and some other issues
noted for their strength on Friday
States Steel led in activity during the
two hours business. while Union Pa
cific ranked next and Reading third.
Most of the interest in the days events
was centred in the local bank state
ment, owing to the indicated cash loss,
and speculation whether the banks
would be able TO overcome the deficit OF
last week to any extent by shifting OF
loans or the statement would display a
further increase of the deficit.
London did not contribute TO the sup
port Of prices here, as the tone there
was quiet and irregularity was re-
ported. The disposition seemed TO be
to await developments on this side be-
fore beginning any improvement in the
international list abroad. There were
certain signs during the trading of ac-
emulation by certain interests, but the
buying was not sufficiently important
TO be relied upon, and the general &C
ton of the market suggested strength
from short covering rather than def
mite bull movement. Naturally, the
last few days have followed a logical
turn after so much depression, and it
may be that a paving of the way for
more activity on the buying side has
been in process Of development durins
