There is no question as to the efficiency OF
the real agricultural expert and the assist
ance they have rendered in the various
counties where they have been established.
The work is heralded with highest applause
from everyone who has been willing to CO.
operate with these men for the solution OF
problems which have puzzled, for the up
building of higher class of farm industry,
for increasing profits and the improvement
of farm conditions generally.
There is no reason why the men on the
farms should not have such counselor as
this to whom they may go in case of ques
tions or difficulties that inevitably arise in
the carrying on of farm work. The farm
agent or the farm expert, as the case may
be, is man who brings the Endorsement OF
his state college because Of the efficiency he
has shown in scholarship, because Of the
way in which he has mastered and handled
the subjects that have been presented to
him in his college course. Men of this stamp
are thoroughly in line with the best progress
Of farm work and they are entitled to the
support and cooperation of the progressive
farmers in their community. There should
be no criticism, there should be cooperation
if the best results are to be obtained.

PROVING 1T WITH FIGURES.

A GENTLEMAN who is posted on finan-
n cial matters, who has looked the situa-
ton over carefully and thoroughly,
has this to say relative to the Importance Of
the dairy industry from the financial stand
point in community.
One county in Iowa, the one where the
first cooperative creamery was established,
has in two banks deposits to the value of
$2,076,O00 and undivided profits, capital and
surplus, to the value Of $800,000 This
county has more creameries than any other
in the state it is eminently successful
dairy community and the improved breeds
of dairy cattle are being introduced rapidly.
Another county, one that has not creamery
and where dairying is abhorred because it
represents too much work, has in its three
banks $17S,000 as capital and surplus and
undivided profits, and $840,0O0 on deposit.
Here is the difference between the com.
munity where dairying fourishes and the
one where it does not. In the former the
deposits are $2,076,000, while in the latter,
where there are no crcameries, the deposits
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-03-19

are $4,000. In the county where cream
cries flourish the capital, surplus and un-
divided profits in two banks is $00OO00,
while in the three banks of the other county
it represents $17S,000 This shows perhaps
that the dairy farmer has money. He is the
man who is able to patronize banks because
he has money to deposit. N

an article crying for peace, though war be
made against war to secure peace. Peace is
something ardently desired, but, as the
novelist aptly points out, though SO out of
100 men are vigorously opposed to war, the
Tooth man may be sufficient to incite pas
sons and make strife. Another vital factor
that must be reckoned with in peace move
ments is the innate love of the glory of
war; that thrills in man as he listens to
blood-stirring tales of wondrous charges, Of
gallant defenses, Of thrilling sorties.
The tinsel with which war is embellished
may be rubbed off by contact with the rcali
ties that are pictured by the pens of men
who have been to the rear as well as the front
of the battlefields Of Europe. By bringing
TO light the sordid uselessness Of the heart
breaking struggle, victory is gained for
peace.
TO conquer the Tooth man, H. G. Wells
proposes two weapons-knowledge and ridi-
cule. OF the two, ridicule is perhaps the
Of peace-loving peoples aroused to such
pitch that the warriors will see themselves
in the light Of public condemnation. And
further he believes in poking fun at the man
who would risk his life, aye, give his life,
for something he knows nothing of. Patriot
ism is worthy, indeed, but it is so often
misguided.
The author wants, as far as possible, to
end war altogether, and contrive things so
that when any unavoidable outbreak does
occur, it may be as little, cruel and mis-
chievous as it can be-" 1t is a muchto-be-
desired condition, and the dream of pro-
pOnents Of peace over the world. Will it
ever be realized! A year ago and thousands
would have been willing to enthusiastically
answer this question in the affirmative.
Today they shake their heads in doubt
Universal peace is still dream.

SOME USEFUL LESSONS.

" HE war has already done much to teach
Americans many valuable lessons which
they might have been years and years
in learning but for its coming. We see now,
for example, with clearness that was never

with South America has not-and still does
not--go forward faster. When the war
opened we were going to do great things and
Immediately and completely capture from
Europe the immense South American trade.
But we came abruptly to halt. 1t was
discovered to our dismay that the rich South
American trade would not fall into our lap,
like ripened apple, but had to be labored
for, with the foundations laid secure and
deep We have learned the three or four
things needful to divert Latin American
commerce toward this country. ssa
What are theseY ''HC
We must send capital to South America,
invest American money there and give our
customers long and ample credit facilities.
This We are in fair way of doing through
the establishment of branch banks in the
principal cities of South America.
The next requisite is an American mer-
chant marine to carry our goods to the
Southern republics and transport their
products back. Here the United States lags
grievously.
Third, and perhaps most important, the
United States must send to Latin America
trained young men to mingle with the peo-
pie of those countries, learn their ways, their
likes and dislikes and how to cater to their
tastes. The personal touch is just as essen.
tial in foreign trade as in domestic, ard to
the South American means more than any
other thing.
Recognition Of the great obstacles which
must be overcome gives the qlietus to the
hope of Americans to obtain monopoly Of
South American trade in one fell swoop. But,
on the other hand the very fact that we are
beginning to realize just what steps must be
taken to accomplish our ends is long for

victories in the field of foreign commerce

farm product, pound for pound, is butter.
When sold it takes the least fertility from
the farm. Now the thing to do is to produce
that pound at the lowest possible cost.
