 In Godowski's laboratory, where he was studying tropical diseases, the baeteriologist set to work at once to confirm his own growing suspicious.
 From monkey which he had there for experimenal purposes. he drew off some blood samples. Then, with the aid or his assistant he took the blood samples he had obtained from us. The monkeys blood under the microscope, seemed full of rather elongated wriggling germs, of pc culiar species. In and out they made their way among the blood corpuscles. each like dart aimed at life itself.

waterproofing the uniforms of their

rescue with the information that the
fat extracted from wool while in the
process of cleaning it for manufacture

Experiments proved that the chem

done by reducing the wool fat to a
liquid by the use of a solvent and di-
luting it with benzine or naphtha. The

tural association and its work have been
of tremendous value to Otero county,
and no money that our county commits
sioners have spent has brought such
enormous returns. We exhibit our prod
ucts in a number of places thru the East
as well as at the different fairs and shows
of the kind. We have put agriculture
in Otero county, at least, upon good.
solid. substantial basis. We are farming
intelligenty and are producing now var
ietles and better crops every year. We
have succeeded in making a careful in
voice OF all of our grains and grasses, and
if you will look over these cases on the
wall you will get little idea of how far
we have gone. as none of the samples
in the cases are duplicated.
Our sugar beet factories render every
assistance possible, and we have found
that the intensive farming that beet
growing makes necessary has been OF
great value in developing our agrlcul-
ture. Our farmers have learned to CO.
operate in experimental work, and it is
one of the principles of our organization
to assist each other and lend everv
possible aid to all the farmers in our
county. The United States department
of agriculture has recognized the value
of our work by sending two sugar beet
experts to Rocky Ford. where they will
be permanently located in carrying on
cooperative work in beet growing to de-
velop more fully this industry"
Here is county in Colorado that is
teaching cooperative work that should

What Otero county has done avery county
in Colorado should do. A movement has
already been started to secure the pass
