We want 70 demonstration farms for
Lee county next year and some should

! as to show everybody what Good there

! Nov great many Of urcitizens have
not seen the beneficial effects Of farm
demonstrator, but they are almost with
out exception men who have not been
situated where they could zee it. Those
who have been visited by the agent this
year are all anxious for him again. The
Others ara Indifferent. Ii you are in
terested in knowing his true value, talk
with some one ii whom you have conf
denee that has been associated with him
this year. Now this year we have only
been able to get half his time and Of
course he had not time to get thorough
~ acquainted in the county, and keep up
with his regular work with the Dem,
Farms.
ii is your privilege if we get him To-
call on him any time sou want him,
even if you don't want to have dem

In the matter Of corn and pig clubs, IL
is Of vital importance that ourboys have
some encouragement to keep mp their
work and to keep them. interested N
farm life, and to be trainedto study il as
business proposition. Too many q
our bays, from lack Of interest and IN
struction are attracted 10 towns and ei-
ties where as a rule they prove failure
unless specially prepared by college ed
ucation. Then why not prepare them
and train them Tor farm life. The far
mer needs judgmentand training aswell
az the merchant, lawyer, doctor, preach
er, electriciau on other citizen, in order
d succeed. You do not take time'to
keep your sons encouraged orinstructed

tinually talking hard times to them,
thereby making tsean believe they can
not make a living on tha farm. When
there is big money in farming when i is
properly done.
Then why not hire an Instructor to do
it when tho federal govt. pays half his
salary.
Think over this 1t is important and
help as to raise the balance oi the fund.
Don't wait for some one to ask you,
write Mr. J. G. Pruett at Leesburg how
much you will give toward this fund and
the list will be printed next week.
The time is short and we will have to
move fast to get the federal appropria-

When To Quit Advertising.
When tbegrasshopper ceases e h0p,

When the grasshopper ceases toshop,
Ann the COW quits bawling;
When the fish no lodger flop,
And the baby stops squalling
When the dunner no longer duns.

When the river cease to run,
Anc the burglar stops his footing;
When the vine no longer runs,
And the skylarks stops his larking
When the sun no longer shines,
And the young man quits i $

When the Heavens begin to drop,
And the old maids quit adyising
Then it is time to shut up shop.
And quit advertising.

IN view Of the fact that the time has
arrived when we will have to decide de-
initely whether or not we will have a
Demonstration Agent his duties will be
OF interest to the people OF the county.
However, on account Of the great mum.
Der Of these, space will permit only a few
81 the essentials.
TO know how to deal with the different
soils is OF first importance. 1t is hin du
ty to study the different soils ofthe coun
ty and advise the kind, quality, and a
mounts neutrality-suspicious. necessary
to get the best returns from the land
Few soils contain the same amounts 2
different ingredients, acid, potash, ane
ammonia, and it ID a waste Of time anC
money to put either ingredient when i
is not proportional with the other in
gradients. Different crops require IN
gradients in different proportions.
Now that we have got to plant new
crops, with which we are not experien-
ced, it will be his duty TO advise with the
farmers about the best ways Of cultivat-
ing these crops. Our agent is directly
connected with the national, and state
departments Of agriculture, as well as
with the State College ofAgriculture and
experiment stations of the several states.
This year he has saved the farmers ofthe
county over 5000 by supplying the inoc-
ulation free to all who wished to plant
alfalfa yetch, bur and crimson clover,
etc.
1t is his duty to inoculate hogs and
keep down cholera. This year ouragent
has inoculated 64s, greater part Of which
would have died had they not been
treated. This one item would have paid
his salary this year. Now that we are
going to raise more hogs it is very ne
cessary tc have him advise with you re-
lative incubation, pastures, keeping
down parasites, etc The best plan and
breeds Of hogs under differentconditions
he specializes Diseases OF other stock
receives attention also.
Ii is his duty to stimulate an interest
in our county fair. Our county fair is
going to mean much TO the county IN
the interest is kept up, and we have
found that he is a great factor in this.
Our clubs, corn, pig and fonr- crop,
will not meet with the success that they
did this year without an agent. Il has
been proven beyond any doubt that the
boys loose interest without constant Wis
its and encouragement.
1t is the duty Of our agent to get Us IN
formation on any line OF farming that
we may wish to follow. He is the con
meeting link between the farmer and the
rest Of tile business world. Some counties

Arrssting Officer ii
Fault In Justice Court
No blame attaches to Justice Goodwin from
grand jury's report.

The Journal is glad to correct an
unintentional error made III lis is
sue for last week for summarizing
the work Of the grand jury. In tie
article as published III The Journal
the impression was enormously CIV
en- that the Irregularities alleged rs
the grand jury il the books ofsJust-
ice Goodwin court were due to him
when as matter Of fact the grand
jury's presentments place the blame
on the arresGng officer for Justice
Godwin's court. AS We understand
it, no blameat all attaches to just
ice Goodwin but to the arresting Of
fcer who serves his court. The fact
that Justice Godwin's name was
mentioned, while that of tic arrest
Ing officer, Mr.. ]. w. Tracy, was
omitted from the grand iury's pre-
sentiments led tothis oversight made
in a hagty reading Of the present
ments before they were mailed out
Of town to Be set elsewhere on a
linotype machine. The Journal
gladly makes this correction and
gives it as prominent a place as the
article at fault, not only for Justice
Goodwin but for his many friends
here and throughout tile county.

AN APPEAL.

To Organized Labor, It's Friends,
and Sympathetic Public;
BY instructions of the Interna
tioual Ex cutive Board, United
Mir Workers of America, we ap-
peal to you for financial help for
the striking miners and their fam
lilies IN Colorado.
Their struggle for social justice
and industrial freedom is your
struggle. Involved therein is the
fight of humanity against oppres-
sion and of right against wrong.
The slaughter of the women and
children at Ludlow, Colorado. on
April Goth, ought to appeal to hu
man sympathy in most extraor,
dinary manner.
Will you aid them financially in
their struggle against John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., his predatory as
sociates and the interests he repre-
sents? The request of the Plesi-
dent of the u Ulited States through
his personal representative that Mr.,
Rockefeller use his influence in be
half of peace was refused. Wher
be denied the President S request
he assumed to be bigger than the
government itself Shall such Z
condition be tolerated by a free
people? Is Mr.. Rockefeller and the
interests he represents larger anc
more powerful than the govern
ment of the United States?
We reed your help, your sym
pathy and your support. We ap
peal to you to respond promptly
and literally and thus place your
self fairly and squarly on the side
of all the people as against John D
Rockefeller, Jr., whose name is in
separately associated with STANDARD
