CHAIRMAN WALKER
CALLS MEETING
OF Prohibitionists at Fort Worth Sat
urday, January 24-Reduced
Railroad Rates.
To the Press:

To the Press:
BY direction of the executive COM
mittee at Dallas in their meeting last
Saturday, | call for mass meeting
of Democrats who favor Statewide
prohibition to meet in Fort Worth on
Saturday, January "a, 1914, at 10
a. m.
1t was thought by the committee,
in view of the many false charges that
have been made through some OF the
press of the State, that our efforts
looking to a concentration OF our
forces behind some one man for Gov
ernor. had not been altogether in good
faith, but that parties were endeav-
oring to push the ambitions of some
individual. Nothing could be farther
of the committee and all who have
been connected with its work, as well
as the mass meeting that created it,
had in mind, and now have in mind.
but one purpose, and that is the con-
centration of our forces behind one
man, and only one man. for Governor
to be voted upon in the July pri-
maries.
The ambition of any man who is in
truth and at heart in favor of State
wide prohibition. should be secondary
to the great principles for which we
stand So the committee decided that
we should again make one supreme
effort to get our forces together for
common counsel and see if we cannot
harmonic the situation and agree
upon some man for Governor. To this
end, il is earnestly desired that every
man in Texas who is a Democrat and
favors Statewide prohibition. includ-
ing all announced candidates and all
parties whose names have been sug-
gested as probable candidates, will
meet with us at Fort Worth to make
a great effort, through common coun-
sci, to eliminate all selfish ambitions
and agree upon some Democrat that
we may elect as Governor.
Special rates will be had, We feel
sure, for this meeting, J. T. Pember-
ton, vice president of the F. & NJ.
National Bank, Fort Worth, was Sc
lected by the committee for the pur-
pose OF arranging rates.
The time has arrived in the condi-
ton of affairs that now confront us
that calls for patriotism and self
sacrifice If we expect to drive the sa-
loon, with its attendant evils, out of
our State. So all Democrats who are
in harmony with us in this matter
are urgently invited to attend this
meeting. A. w. WALKER,
Chairman Executive Committee.

The only feasible way of getting

than are individual visits.

THE COUNTY FARM ADVISOR
A Review of the Work Farm Advis-
or Will Attempt TO DO. The Plan
of Cooperation on the Part of Citi-
zens of the County.

There seems to be a general mis-
conception regarding the work and
duties Of the County Farm Adviser
Perhaps the title Farm Adviser has
as much to do with this state of af-
fairs as any other one thing. The
name does not imply to the mind what
the advisers line of work really is;
there are other titles in use as for in
stance fam expert, farm agent and
farm assistant but these shoot as
wide of the mark as the one we use,
especially is this true of farm expert
as he Is not an expert at all; there
are men in the employ of state and
government who are experts in var
ious lines of work and it is from these
that the adviser gets his advise be-
fore he passes it on to the farmer. In
other words he is merely a go be-
tween, a connecting link, between
State college Of agriculture, the Unit
edStates Department Of Agriculture
and the Farmer. He brings the scien-
tific truths that the two former insti-
buttons have found to be correct to the
farmer on his own farm. There is not
much choice in title under which we
work so for unifoFmities sake in the
State OF Missouri, we are known as
County Farm Advisers and will con-
tiuue to be SO known until some more
fitting name is found.
Theoretically the farm adviser
should spend months making a de.
tailed study of the soils, crops and
agricultural conditions of the county
i'm general when starting in on his
work, but this is too slow for the
impatient public who demand imme.
date practical results so it seems ad.
visable that the agent turn his atten.

.ment to some future time when they
get the attention hey deserve.
These less complicated problems
deal with best methods of tillage ano
crop production, hog cholera, spray
ing fertilizing. drainage, bone con
yeniences, building plans, rotations
feeding, etc, and the Advisers dut'
les are to tell the farmer the best

already know to be correct.
As to these methods we win find Z
70 make survey that some farmer

est time he must necessarily work
through groups and he will be glad to
go to any meeting place where doz-
en- or more farmers can be together to
help in organizing, or discuss any
problems or hold demonstrations on
any line of work desired by them; he
will be glad to come either in day
time or evenings as best suits the
men; all that is necessary is to call
up or write his nearest Office and ar
range a date that doesn't conflict and
he will go to any part of st. Francois
county without cost TO the farmer.
Don't think that the adviser is here
to get you out of work, but rather
to get you to work, and work in the
right direction, to show business in
your methods and the way to get him
to do this is to get him to handle his
own business. This is another small
duty of the adviser. All large corpo-
rations and manufacturers have men
trained to advise, search out and ex-
pound the best methods of their bust
ness and do away with the poorer an
less remunerative practices. The indi-
vidual farmer can't afford to do this,
so the State College of Agriculture
and the United States Department OF
Agriculture worked ont the plan OF
the County man and with the aid OF
the County, through the County
Court, he has become permanent
! fixture whenever tried. The proof OF
this is that OF between 600 and zoe

stalled advisers not one has done away
with theirs, and many counties are
getting assistants, some even two OF
three, TO help the county man TO more
efficient work. Why shouldn't the
county have direct connection be
tween the College of Agriculture ant
the United States Government? They
pay large sums to support and main
tain both institutions and il is onl,
their duty that they should be in clos

YOUNG MAN KILLED BY
TRAIN AT SOMERSET

Luther o. Porter, of Hannibal, Mis-
souri,, was killed by freight train in
the Somerset yards last Friday after
noon, shortly before one o'clock. The
unfortunate young man, who had
worked on the Wootton and Hawkins
ranch during the fruit season, had
walked to Bowie in search of further
employment. Deciding later to go on
to Somerset to negotiate for contract
to mine coal, he climbed aboard an
empty coal car in a train about to
leave the Bowie yards.
AS the rtain slackened its speed
before the station building in Somer-
set, Porter attempted to descend.
Whether his coat caught on a pro-
truding bolt or he lost his grip by
the slack being pulled out of the train
vii never be known, but hle fell di-
rectly across the rail and the wheels
passed over his legs, severing one
above the knee and the other close
to his hip.
The First Aid society of the coal
company Immediately took the case
in charge pending the arrival of sur
gical assistance, but the loss of blood
was so great that he passed away be-
fore four O'Clock. Although render
ed unconscious by the fall, he regain
ed his faculties and was conscious
within a few minutes of his death.
The body was viewed by the coroner

Varieties Of Oats for Colorado.

At the present time there are a
great many varieties of oats planted
in Colorado, many of which abe not
well suited to our conditions. Ex-
Fermentation and tests by growers
have shown very conclusively the few
varieties best adapted. For the irri-
gated sections up to the higher alti-
tudes the Swedish Select strain,
white oat, seems to have given the
best results, while on the dry lands
son or Sixty Day, yellow oat, has
been the most successfully grown. In
the hot. dry sections of the Arkan-
sas Valley and further southeast the
Texas Red and Canada Red are to
be recommended
The Colorado No. 81, Colorado No.
13, New Market and Swedish Select
are all of the same strain. the or ig-
inal seed having been imported by Mr..
Carleton of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Consequently where one
does we'll the other thrive.
The Kherson and Sixth Day are
from the same province in Russia and
are exactly alike. Both do equally
we'll in the districts for which they are
recommended.
Outside of the Arkansas Valley and
the southwestern part of the state
where warm. dry conditions prevail.
the use of Texas Red or Canadian Red
is not to be recommended.-Jame o.
