URGE FARMERS TO ORGANIZE

Talks of Orqanization.

THE chambers of commerce of
every industrial city in America could
be made of vast help in developing
their outlying communities and would
find it satisfying and profitable work"

state board of regents of West Vir-
GINA. and a leading worker in the
Southern Conference for Education
and Industry. while in Washington the
other day.
Mr.. Marsh was a member of the
American commission which recently
went to Europe to study rural credits
and agricultural conditions. His ex-
perience i'm those countries where ag-
riculture is extensively organized has
convinced him that more thorough or
ganization for agricultural develop

SOUND ADVICE TO FARMERS
Retired AgricuIturist is Nuisance in
Town-Neighbors Glad to Get Rid
of Old Codger.

Prof p G. Holden, the agricultural
expert who has been occurring in
the West on crop topics. particularly
alfalfa, in addition to his lecture on
alfalfa gives some good advice to his
farmer hearers. Among other things
he says:
when you have grown old and
rich on the farm, don't move to town.
A retired farmer is a nuisance in
town. when he moves there simply to
die cheap. He is against all improve
ments, because such things cost
money, and he wants to keep his
taxes down. Stay on your farm. Don't
buy more land. but improve what you
have. Put in a system of waterworks
SO you can take a oath once in q
while. Put in a lighting plant, SO
you can read newspapers and books
without straining your eyes, and keep
well informed. Stay on your farms,
and when you finally pay the debt
of nature your friends and neighbors
will regret your death and there will
be a procession half a mile long fol-
lowing you to your grave. But II you
move to town you won't have much Of
a procession. and the neighbors will
say that it is a good thing the close
listed old codger is out of the way"

A great man is quoted as saying that

One who lived for some months in

leader and prolific worker said that
she had never known him to hurry ex-

the delay. And even in those cases
there was no hurried feeling" The
