definite project and he has al
ways responded promptly. There
is another class who have asked
us to come out some time, not
setting any special date. A
careful record has been made
of all those names, and these
men are being called upon as
fast as time permits. However,
definite calls and dates necessar-
lily have the preference over
these.
The accusation mentioned
above, however, comes from men
who have never made any APP
proaches indicating any interest
in the Farm Bureau work.
Again we assure our readers
that we are ready and willing to
serve one man as we'll as an
other. Our work has as it's aim
the continued improvement of
agriculture, and if one man indi-
Gates more of an interest and is
more willing to cooperate, nat
urally more attention will be CIV
en- to him, because it tends to
future progress. If this is ia
oritism, as some assert, let them
take advantage of it. The chance
is theirs.

The economic value of good
farming needs insistent and con-
tinual emphasis. AS business
men, especially bankers, come to
know better the good effects of
careful and thorough cultivation,
of cleaning and treating grain,
of crop rotation, of the addition
of live stock to the scheme of
farm management, the doing or
not doing of these things is go
ing to be reflected in the ease
with which money goes to the
help of the farmer. Fortune ia
vors the man who shows a mod
ern understanding of the bust
ness of agriculture. He is the
safer business risk, other things
being equal, than the man who
follows the old ways. If this
is favoritism, as some assert, let
them take advantage of it. The
chance is theirs.
Even the County Agent is ac-
cused of showing favoritism,
and we are very sorry to say
that these accusations have come
to us indirectly. We wish if any
one feels sighted that they
would complain to the County
Agent himself, the one who has
sighted them, and we assure
such as those that we will be
more than glad to correct that
feeling.
j At the inception Of the Coun-
ty Farm Bureau work, the most
common complaint of the farm
er was that he did not want any
man coming around advising
him what to do. In consequence
of this he was promised in all
sincerity that unless he wanted
the farm adviser to visit him,
he would not be intruded upon.
Take those who have asked
the farm adviser to call on any

WHY PEOPLE LOVED HIM SO

His past, while not an open
book, had bitter lessons taught {;
the one diploma that he took in
suffering was wrought; in Lies
exacting school he'd learned how
weak a man can be; he under
stood the hearts that yearned
for love and sympathy; no pious
saint himself, he knew the sor-
row and woes of others-he had
suffered, too-and, ah! we loved
him so.
He freely gave, not asking
why; no lecture throwing in;
into no details would he pry; no
sermon would begin; he sought
no evils to correct; he gave be-
cause it pleased; he injured no
ones self respect-enough, that
want was eased. His was the
simple, modest creed, LET not
your right hand know" we knew
him as a friend in need, and, all !!
we loved him so.
Of his own failings conscious,
he no judgment sought to give
he strove, unlike the Pharisee, to
live, and to let live; unlike those
"Holier than thou" who shelter
ed lives have led, his gentleness
would not allow a harsh word
to be said; not without sin, he
undertook never the stone to
throw; his past was not an open
book-but, all we loved him so.

Rock Phosphate

We will probably order a car
load of rock phosphate in the
near future, as a few have indi-
Gated that they desired some.
AS soon as we get enough to
make up car, we will order, so
if all that expect to use rock
phosphate this winter, will let
us know, we can order it all at
once.
To our readers who are not
familiar with the use of rock

The hog cholera situation in
the territory South and South
east of Pennington prompts me
to write you the following let
ter:
The hog cholera is spreading
quite rapidly, having broken out
in several new herds the past
week. / suppose you have a
few hogs and am sure that you
are anxious to prevent the chol-
era in your own herd. Vaccina-
tion as a preventative of hog
cholera is without question alb
solutely sure. The single treat
ment which | use will immunize
the hogs from disease for per-
iod ranging from two to three
months and you can readily see
that good many of your hogs
will either be sold or marketed
within that length of time.
Weather conditions will also be
less favorable for the spread of
the disease by that time. Dur
ing the past week | have vac
cinated- several herds, compris-
ing about 300 head.
Realizing that the loss of one
or two hogs in your herd will
more than pay for the VAGINA
ton of your entire herd, / am
writing you this letter asking
you to consider this matter care
fully. My advice to you, land
| may say that this advice is
based upon from 8 to A years.

Farmers Week at Columbia.
The time is again drawing
near for Farmers Week at Col
'umbia. The County Agent ex-
poets to take group of boys
with him, as a few have said
that they desired to go. / be-
lieve that there should be Is to
20 boys in the County that will
go to Columbia this winter. The
total cost of the trip need not
exceed $500, and when we con-
slider the information and in
spiration that young man will
get from this big week at Column
bia where there will be about
5000 enrolled, the expense is in
significant. Girls are cordially
invited to accompany us on this
trip and some lady will be pro-
vided to look after them. If
enough boys decide to go, we
will get a club house and all stay
together during the whole week.
We sincerely hope that parents
will do all in their power to make
it possible for their boys and
girls to go. And this trip to
Columbia would be splendid
gift for some benevolent person
to make to some' deserving boy
or girl, either a relative or not.
If any such person would like to
contribute for this purpose and
knows no one to send, we can
suggest some worthy boy or
girl to them.

form in which to buy phosphor-
us. 1t is, however, in an insolu-
BILE form and should be applied
with barnyard manure or else
turned under with a green crop.
A splendid plan is to have it on
hand and put 80 to 100 pounds
on every load Of manure that is
hauled out during the winter.
Some follow the practice of scat
tering it in the stables, allowing
the stock to tramp on it and mix
it with the manure. This is a
very good practice if the floor is
such that none of the manure
leaks away. If a green crop is
to be plowed under, it may be
scattered before blowing, with
a lime scatterer, at the rate of
1000 pounds per acre.
