THE DISTRICT HORT|CULTUR-
ST IS PLEASED VISITOR

II. II. Wetherspoon, the district horti-
cultural man, Is here and says he Is
well pleased with the general improve
ment In the class Of exhibits and II the
men who grow the stuff could be
around when the judges are working
they could learn much about making Sc
lections for their exhibits.
One idea that Mr.. Wetherspoon ad-
vances will strike some Of the apple
men hard. The prune men are glad TO
sell their fruit at $50 a ton and they
cannot grow as much TO the acre as an
apple man and still they make good
money. II the apple man would sell his
apples at fifty or sixty cents a box there
would be much larger demand for the
apples because more people would feel
able to buy them. II costs much to
get the apples to the consumer and II
the price Is high many do not buy.
Some Of the old apple countries are in
bad shape because they practiced the
clean cultivation system, which drew
all the humus out Of the soil and burnt
IL up so there was nothing left for the
apples TO build up on.

FARMERS CLUBS

The farmer is the only class of peo-
pie who continually sells at wholesale
and buys at retail" said Prof. II. l.
Jones of Mitchell, in an address before
the Country Life Conference at Brook.
ings. Lack of organization and CO
operation is responsible for this state
of affairs. The cure. said Prof. Jones,
lies partly in organizing farmers clubs
for rural education and improving
farming conditions and marketing. BY
proper organization through clubs, he
said. the farmer may sell at better
prices, buy at more favorable figures,
may keep his boys on the farm, and
have a better appreciation of and re,
spect for the business of farming.
Prof. Jones enumerated ten reasons
why farmers clubs are effective means
of rural education and rural progress.
The first great benefit to be derived
from such clubs is the fact that they
break up isolation and distrust be,
tween the farmers themselves, regard
less of religious, social or financial
differences. The other nine results
of the organization of farmers clubs
as outlined by Prof. Jones, are (2) So
cial life is developed in the country,
willing to leave it; CD farmers are in,
duced to gather together for a common
purpose; (4) club representatives at
large conferences may bring reports
for benefit of all; 60 the clubs supple,
ment and strengthen the work of the
rural churches; 60 makes it easier to
secure consolidated rural schools; 60
by cooperation these clubs may effect,
lively improve market prices; (S) the
clubs develop leaders; 90 farmers
learn to solve their own problems
through club organization or by per-
sonal effort; and (10) such clubs form
a valuable adjunct to the great exten.

What is true of the railroad system
