STATE MAP OF MISSOURI

In connection with the data ob- tained for the United States portion of the millionth scale international map of the world the United States Geological Survey is publishing a series of States maps on double this scale-I to 500,O0O, or about 8 inches to 1 mile
 The map of Missouri one of those recently published by the Survey, is the result of cooperative work between the Federal Survey and the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines. The map shows in accurate position all the principal cities, towns, villages, streams, railroads, etc., and the main political subdivisions. The map meas ures fl by AZ inches, and is sold by the U. S. Geological Survey at Wash ington for 35 cents a copy, or at the rate of 21 cents each if at least $3 worth are purchased-approximately the cost of paper and printing.

uoW THE FARMERS SHOULD OR
 GANIZE.

Tho department is continually re- ,ilng inquiries from all sections ask |, how farmers ought to organize. he answer to such a general question
 must necessarily be that it depends partly upon the particular needs of q given community and partly upon the capacity which farmers have to establish and manage the work of a suitable organization. There should be a strong local feeling of the need of some improvement and that certain definite aims or purposes can be more fully realized with the aid of organiz- ed interest and activity than through
 individual organization, as such, will achieve a given object, unless the farmers organize in the right way and equip their organization so that it will carry on its work efficiently. Having decided that an associated eff fort is warranted by the needs of the community, study should be made of the kind of organization that would be most helpful and the ways and means Of making its work effective. While this calls for intelligent, enthusiastic and self-sacrifcing leadership, it is best that this be furnished locally. Organizations may need outside ad- wee, but they should not be promoted Oy outsiders. The farmers advance must come as the result of his own efforts; his progress must develop rom within rather than from with Oah The organization that is given nm IS of far less value to him than ae one which he himself creates. In ue matter of securing advice it is
 generally wise to make application to

as made by Senator John Sharp Will Hams, of Mississippi. Never given to hattery, caustic, epigrammatic, but with a keen faculty of observation, the Mississippian's estimate of any pub lie man, even one of his own party, is always unprejudiced In discussing the President it is but natural that Senator Williams first thought should be of MT. Wilson's intellectuality. Inpatient of dullness, Mir. Williams is peculariarly appreciative of keen. forceful mind.
 "l know of no public man in recent years who possesses the intellectual force of Woodrow Wilson," said Sena- ton Williams. He possesses a mind like diamond drill. Once it is turned on subject it probes to the bottom with force and deinteness not to be denied. He is able to look at any sub- ject from any angle, and by the time he has studied it carefully he has mas tered it in every detail.
 "Time and again he has proven this to members of the Senate and House who have conferred with him on pend ing legislation. He has surprised men by his faculty of taking up a compara- lively new subject, and, in a little while, knowing more about it than many men who have studied it from years.
 Added to his keenness is an abso- lute integrity of intellect. The wish is never father to the thought with Woodrow Wilson. No matter how the handling of public question may af- feet his popularity, no matter what the political effect, he always views a question honestly, and once he deter mines upon the proper disposition of it he carries out his plans with in flexible determination.
 Some of his critics have said that he lacks feeling, that he is absolutely cold. In this they are wrong. Per sonally, he is an extremely warm hearted man, but as public official he puts his duty far above his own per sonal feelings, his own ambitions and the feelings of this or that politician who may be hurt or may feel that he will be hurt. In the handling of pub lie affairs the President is like a high ly efficient physician or surgeon. He studies his patient, locates with uner ring accuracy the cause of the trouble and with quickness and dispatch ad ministers the cure or, performs the operation.
 "The patient may think him cold and heartless at first but when he finds how miraculous is the physicians diagnosis, how sure and effective the cure and how promptly he gets well he praises God for having sent him such a man."

old pairs for from sixty to seventy
five cents. and then sell them to the
unsuspecting public as guaranteed
mated birds (Which they certainly
are) at from two to three dollars
a pair. Such birds. as a rule, will
breed pretty we'll for the first few
months in their new quarters, but
after that they are only a source of
expense. For this reason man
should buy birds from some one with
whom he is personally acquainted, or
else from some person who Is willing
to give guarantee not only as to the
birds being mated, but also as to
age. If they are mated birds there
Is no reason why salesman should
not furnish particulars with them,
giving the numbers on the leg bands,
and If he has bred them, which most
breeders claim to have done, he ought
to be in position to give fair esti-
mate as to age, but as there is no
way of verifying this statement. the
only safe plan Is to buy young birds
and mate them yourself.
There are many varieties of pigeons
that are used for squad producers,
but probably the most common Is
the Homer. These are often crossed
with Runts. Dragons Teals. Duch-
esses and Maltese. The Runt is a
very heavy bird. The Duchesse gives
a feathered-leg squad. but has
tendency to increase the weight.

Possibly Industry
Raising Squads But Takes More Than NJ

The amount Of information That has
been published. showing what Won
derful profits are to be made In the
SQUAD business by professional dealers
in SQUAD breeders has been enormous.
While much of it has been In the
main correct, many misleading state
ments have. however, been made
statements that probably would cause
business man to study the subject
more carefully, but which the aver
age person.. to whom this literature
has been sent. has read eagerly and
quoted as gospel. The result has
been that many widow has placed
her thousand dollar life insurance In
SQUAD breeders and equipment ex-
pecting at least a thousand dollars
in dividends within a few months,
since the greater portion Of this liter
allure says, They will pay for their
feed from the start (of course. being
properly mated.)" As rule the In
vestment not only has failed to pro-
duce the dividend expected, or even
to pay for the feed that has been
eaten. but also has given consider
able amount Of work, and the stock
would be hard to change into cash at
a loss of seventy-flve cents on the
dollar.
Some advertisers claim that pigeons
require little or no care. This state
ment Is not correct. Not only must
the houses be kept clean. but tho
birds must be fed and watered regu-
larry twice each day. To rear squads

Fruits
And Vegetables

Many farmers allow dollars of pos
sible profits to slip through their
hands by neglecting to properly pre-
pare their produce for market. Fruit
and vegetables for a nearby market
need not be picked until almost ripe
but for long distance shipment they
must be harvested earlier. great
many growers make the mistake of
allowing their fruit and vegetables to
become too ripe before gathering and
as a result the products that look so
attractive when starting reach their
destination in an over-ripe condition.
For this reason we must carefully
consider the distance to market be-
fore harvesting our products.
All tender fruit and vegetables in
tended for sale in a fresh condition
should be carefully handled. Bruised
fruits and vegetables soon decay and
affect other specimens next to them
in the package. This destroys the
appearance Of the products and ruins
its value accordingly.
The most important operation in
preparing fruits and vegetables for
market Is the grading. Careful Gull
tivation saves great amount of grad
ing. Uniformity is the chief require
ment to be considered in grading pro-
duce for the market. Products should
be packed so that they will be uniform
in appearance. quality and condition.
There is seldom time when
nicely packed and honestly graded
fruits and vegetables will not bring
good price; it is the poorly packed,
poorly developed, unevenly ripened
products that are drug on the mar
ket The experienced packer has in
mind the general appearance Of the
whole package rather than a few
choice specimens on top. The better
the grading the better the price.

THE COLONY HOG HOUSE.

One of the best ways to use scrap

lieu Of cash, and every family requires
eggs as a daily diet. The result is
that the output firm the poultry
plant can be disposed of almost any
where and in any quantity, no matter
how small. If there Is no demand
for the chicken as a broiler. which
Is often the case, it can be kept a
few weeks or months longer of course
at an increase In cost but with a suff1-
cient increase in quantity and pos
sibly quality to more than pay for
the .are. If a market is not ready
to tai e the goods, they can be held
until the market does get ready, and
the delay need not cause loss to
the producer. Should a poultryman
so desire, he can sell out at market
prices with little loss at almost any
season of the year.
With squads, however, the case Is
killed within a limited time, they de-
preciate not only in weight but in
value, and must be sold as pigeons
instead Of squads. The professional
breeder may use these to increase the
loft. but In that case the surplus birds
go into stock instead Of cash. This
increase in stock naturally demands
an increase in equipment, which under
some circumstances might be advis-
able; but the producer who hasn't his

position to guarantee delivery Of

In many sections, especially
throughout the western states pop
lars and cottonwoods are the first
shade trees planted. Their beauty
quick growth, and heavy foliage
make them very useful trees IN a
new settlement. Later on, they are
usually replaced by trees of slower
growth, which are stronger and moro
enduring.
In some states. the favorite shade
trees seem now to be the cork elm
and the American elm. In many OF
the larger towns, there are long rows
of these young elms, strong and
sturdy. giving promise Of beautiful
shaded avenues in years to come.
The poplars are Objectionable IN
many ways They are only too often
infested with root borers. bark borers,
borers In the trunk, or even the small
twigs They form excellent breeding
grounds for many varieties OF leaf
eating caterpillars and plant-lice. The
poplar known as Balm OF Gilead Is
particularly Objectionable in this way.
The elms, on the contrary, are
usually remarkably free from insect
pests Of all kinds. But during the
past few years, the large trunk-bor-
ing caterpillar Of the cottonwood. has
spread to the elns and for some time
have been doing an increasing amount
of damage to these beautiful young
trees. This dangerous caterpillar Is
called the carpenter worm; good
name, for it would be hard to do
smoother work with gouge and anger
than it does with its strong, horny
laws, It is a native of this country,
and is common in many trees and
