and successfully toward the solution
of ordinary farm problems.
Immediate results being demanded,
the county agent should at once turn
his attention to the less complicated
questions OF farm practice, and post
pone the more comprehensive farm
management problems to a time when
he can give them more nearly the at
tention they deserve. During the first
season he should carry out many sue
cessful demonstrations and soon be
able to show enough of this kind OF
work to win the confidence and re-
spect Of those with whom he is coop
Grating. He should make a leader
of some one line such as dairying, po-
tato growing, alfalfa production, pre-
Vention Of hog cholera, or some other
work that ne is competent to direct
and in which the local people are in
tensely interested.
almost every county agent in the
north-central states should be able to
earn his salary through the promotion
OF alfalfa growing alone. Many Of the
men are doing so. Through the infiu-
ence of the county agent in Minnesota
two carloads of alfalfa seed have been
distributed this fall among the farm
ers OF western Minnesota, and three
more carloads are soon to be ordered
from that section.
"a wide-awake, progressive alfalfa
grower in Branch county. Michigan,
recently purchased $40 worth of agri-
cultural lime and hauled it to his
farm. a distance of eight miles. Later
the county agent J. w. Chaplin, visited
this farm and about forty rods from
the barn discovered a mari bed con-
tanning thousands of tons OF mari
close to the surface. This mari which

limited quantities for the digging. MI.
Chaplin is finding high grade mari in
nearly every part of his county, and
as a large percentage Of the soils are
sour, he is, through the development
of this one enterprise alone, earning
his salary many times over. Hit ex-
perience is being repeated in other
Michigan counties and in other states
where we have county agents at
work.

Social and Industrial Problems in North Dakota Subject
of Address by President McVey Last Night
Head of University of North Dakota Proved Interesting
Speaker Last Night Before Great Crowd
Discussed Some of the Important Phases of City and Coun-
try Life and Its Requirements For Improvement

Some of the Social and industrial,
Problems of North Dakota were dis
cussed last night in a paper read at
the Tri-State Grain Growers conven-
ton by DR.. Franklin l.. McVey OF
Grand Forks, president Of the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota.
President McVey vas greeted by a
large audience last night, which was
n of the important sessions of the
convention, and preceded Superintend-
ent. Mcdowell Of the farm manage
ment division of the federal depart
ment of agriculture and Governor Eb-
erhart of Minnesota. In part DR.. Nc
,Vey said:
when I first entered the state OF
North Dakota, l saw from the window
of the train what appeared to me to
be, an unusual sunset. The grain
stood shocked in the fields, and the
sun, declining in the west, shed it's
golden W. over the whole scene. The
combination of color was unusual, and
gave the impression of a glorious
area filled with a remarkable color.
AS the Ill sank below the horizon,
the evening star appeared, increasing
in, b~rilliancy, N though it was long
past the days of the s~oothsayers of
Egypt and Greece, nevertheless, l

"Two centuries before another
traveller entered the state, accom-
panied by dog-team, Indians and fell
l~ow-travellers of his own nation. He
faced the same sun, but sought, in
stead of a civilization, the river which
bends westward. Verendrye found
here n there scattered Indian viii
lagos, but no cultivation of the soil,
and nothing that gave any evidence
of What was to come. At the opening.
of the century Lord Selkirk brought
his countrymen to the Red river val
ley and established there the colonies
along its bank. The American Fur
Co. created a post at Pembina, and
for many years these were the main
evidences that the edge of civilian
ton had reached this far.
Forty years g this state had a
population Of 2,400; today it has g.
population of nearly $780, 900, while the
total wealth within it's borders is one
and a quarter billions of dollars.
MEN have found here what they
have labored strenuously to secure
elsewhere. Nature gave them vast
fields without stump or tree. The
early settlers noted that the animal
and plant life was adapted to prairie
conditions. The animals showed a
great locomotor activity; they came
together in aggregations and migrated

"McHenry county, Illinois, has many
small areas of poorly drained land.
Beneath the impervious clay subsoil
at depths varying from ten to eighteen
feet is a layer of SAND and gravel. AS
an experiment the county agent, DeIos
James, bored through the clay sub
soil at the lowest point in one Of these
wet marshes. To the surprise Of ev-
erybody, the surface water soon ran
through this drain and disappeared
in the gravel stratum. Mr.. James has
since drained many of these marshes

favored above all other cities.

These rivers generate electric pow
er so cheaply that it can be purchased
by the favored cities at price that
enables them to sell it to consumers
so cheaply that it results in the estab-
lishment of manufacturing industries,
trolley lines and other enterprises
that go towards the upbuilding of cit
les.
1t is Ocala's good fortune to be 10
Gated near stream, where great
and successful power plant has been
cient to supply Ocala with electric
power to light her streets, her homes,
build her trolley lines and induce
manufacturing enterprises to locate
within her incorporate limits.
1t is great opportunity, if our judg-
ment is worth recording. Not to take
advantage of it, it seems to us, would
at least be an objectionable blunder.
This great power plant was built
by the enterprise and daring of
Ocala's own citizens, without the ex-
action of a penny in the shape of bo-
nus, and they are asking for no NUM-
cipal franchise or extraordinary grant
of power of any sort.
If the Camps are in a position to
sell this subtitle energy cheaper than
Ocala can possibly manufacture it, it
seems to us that it is not only the
part of wisdom for the city council to
enter into contract for it's purchase,
but it is its patriotic and bounden
duty to do so.
And in doing so Ocala is not divest-
ing herself of any part of her munich
pal ownership; she parts with no frac-
ton of her municipal or sovereign
rights.
If the Camps can furnish this pow
er at the price we have heard suggest
ed, it will give Ocala an advantage, SO
far as We know, possessed by no other
city in Florida.
1t will place Ocala on the map in
big red letters!

THIMBLE PARTY AT BELLEVlEW
SneciaI Cor. Ocala Ranner.

Special Cor Ocala Banner:
The fourth "thimble party of this
season, under the auspices of the La
desc Aid Society of the M. E. church
was held at the home of Mrs. Wen
dali, corner of Robinson avenue and
West Front street.
In April, 1908, the first one was
held at this home, Mrs. Wendall sug-
costing the idea, and the church la
dies entering into the plan enthusiast
ically. They have been kept up ever
since, and usually are well attended.
This season one has been held on the
third Tuesday of each month.
Mrs. Wendall's spacious veranda
was we'll filled, thirty-two ladies be-
ing present, which was a large num-
Der, considering the fact that so many
have left for their northern homes.
A very pleasing program was rem
dered, consisting of readings by Mes
danes Bush, Reynolds, Wendall and
Miss Irma favored us with choice mu-
sic. Mrs. Wendall's full, deep soprano
with Irma's sweet alto certainly fur
nishes music which is soul-cheering,
lifting one far above this transitory
life.
The offering amounted to five dol
lars.
These gatherings are becoming
more and more popular, and all are
grateful to the author of them, and
regret that the time is so short when
our northern frieids will leave us.
Delicious refreshments were served.

PUBLIC SALE AT GARDEN CITY.
Retail Merchants Association Promote
Auction as Business Getter.

Garden City. Kan, April 4.-The
first monthly auction sale of the Retail
Grocers' association of Garden City
took place in the old Austin lumber
yard Thursday and proved to be a
great success.
The merchants Of Garden City have
planned to hold an auction on the first
Thursday of each month when the
farmers and townspeople can bring
anything they wish to sell and have 1t
auctioned of, the merchants paying all
the expense of the sale. The associa-
ton realizes that nearly every one has
STOCK, farm implements. household
goods or what not of which he wishes
to dispose. but have not enough to
make a sale by itself. When a number
Of people put their salable articles to-
gether they have enough to pay to hire
an auctioneer.
About so head Of horses, some cows
and other stock. besides a quantity OF
farm machinery and household goods
were sold at good prices. and the pic
ture shows and skating rink gave free
admission tickets to all patrons of the
auction.
