COUNTY AGENT
-Four Days School Of Agriculture
Farm Management Demonstration Records

County Agent Kennedy will be in
his office in Putnam most of the re-
manning days of 1915. The writing of
his Annual Report, newspaper work,
planning projects for next year, and
installing a complete set of office re-
cords, will occupy his time. He is
available, of course, for farm visits,
and consultation as usual.
The first work after January LIST will
be the returning of the farm manage
ment demonstration records taken
during May and June. A series OF
meetings of thCs whose farms were
visited by those taking the records will
be arranged. The area surveyed viii
be discussed as a whole. No man 5
farm will be talked about at these
meetings, as each mans business Is
considered his own affair Conditions
indicated by the survey will be dis
cussed.
IL the figures show labor income
on these farms that is too low, farmers
will be asked to suggest changes in
cropping systems, farm management,
or live stock management, which will
tend TO show larger income from the
farmers labor on our next years re-
cords. Systems of farm accounts will
be discussed, and all interested will be
urged to adopt some system by which
he may know which branch of his bu-
siness is netting him fair return, and
what part, if any, is not.
Mr.. Irving G, Davis, from the Ex-
tensive Service at the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural College, will assist in the
returning of these records, and will be
present at such meetings as may be
held. He has set of slides prepared
on this Putnam area, and will give
illustrated talks explaining how the
figures showing the labor income were
obtained. He will also go over certain
records and explain why a large or
small labor income is shown.
Mr.. Kennedy would like suggestions
regarding the time and place for hold
ing such meetings The local school
houses would make ideal places. If
some one has large kitchen or other
room where half dozen or more men
could meet, such place would beeyen
better. Farm ladies interested in the
question of profitable farming will be
urged to be present at these discussions.
A meeting of the full board of the
Directors of the Windham County
Farmers Association will be held at
their rooms in Putnam on Monday,
January 3rd at p. m The following
men, representing their towns, will be

best of it. We are humbled. The
News-Budget scribe has never en-
joyed the advantages of liberal,
legal education; hence in the pres
ence of an omniscient mind, we are
only too willing to be taught We
confess that we were practically
brought up in a print shop and spent
the time 'devilling' around that
ought to have been devoted to the
attainment of higher education,
better fitted to cope with the stellar
mental lights that we were destined
to run up against
Now, Teacher Maloney, we have
read the lesson over carefully and
there is just one little question or
two We would like to ask, respect
fully. One is-if the council did not
adopt resolution Or motion pro-
viding how the thing is to be done,
and enter note of the action on the
records" which you say hadn't been
been taken;" how is it that the
council proceedings that you are
publishing this week state that such
resolution was passed at it's meeting
April 20, or the evening previous to
the publication, Con April 3O,) ex-
clusively in the NeWs-Budget, of the
news that the city was going to try
oiling the streets and had ordered
the car of oil?
AS to the question Teacher Ma
loney asks in the last paragraph, we
will say that quicker was really
the word We meant We might have
used sooner" but our mind or
whatever you call it, got hold of
the other word quicker. Come down
and take a squint at our dictionary,
teacher. 1t gives "Quick" as eth
or adjective or adverb, meaning
speedy; promptly, without delay"
etc. The comparative form of the
word, which we used, is given as
Quicker; superlative, "Quickest,
all of which are covered by the
same definitions.
And, as to the number Of gallons,
the car will probably contain near
er 5000 gallons of oil, as We orig
inally stated, than 1000

Form aIities

Bro. Bell takes exception to our
remark that the council had not yet
taken any formal action regarding
the oiling of the steetrs, as follows:
Well, if ordering 1000 gallons of
oil, as mentioned in last Fridays
News-Budget, was not formal ac
ton in the matter" what would be?
Perhaps the action would have been
formal if the Journal had got the
news quicker
Before proceeding with the lesson,
We pause to call attention to the
fact that the News-Budget did not
mention the purchase of 1000 gallons
of oil-it stated the amount at 5000
gallons, perhaps merely from a
chronic habit of exaggeration.
Webster defines normal, as used
in this connection, as follows: Done
in due form; according to regular
method" If Bro. Bell hasn't a die
tionary about the shop, he is at per-
himself that we are not trying to
put over an incorrect definition on
him.
Now, Bro. Bell, the regular meth
cd of action by the council on mat
ters like this is to adopt a resolu-
ton or motion providing how the
| n &c 70 ho
Of the action on the records. This
hadn't been done at the time we
published the statement in question,
hence, mo formal action had been
taken"
If this isn't plain enough for Bro.
Bel to understand, we will try and
translate it into words of one sylla-
BILE. We might add for his benefit
that the purchase of 1000 gallons
does not make the act any more
formal than the purchase of a half
pint, contrary to what seems to be
his impression
While we are in the teaching mood
We desire to ask Bro. Bell if he
really meant quicker when he used
that word in the above quotation, or
die he mean sooner? Pardon the
suggestion, but a dictionary is
mighty handy thing around print
shop.-Journal.

The News-Budget announced last
week that it had a brand new per-
sonally conducted cleanup movement
on hand, but the public, the common
"peepul,' beat him TO it. AS noted
in the Journal, the movement was
under full swing before the News
Budget got steam up.-Journal.
The cleanup movement is a good
thing for our city, brother, and it
is immaterial who started it, Or sug-
gested it. 1t required no originality,
for thousands of cities are partici-
pating in the movement. 1t requires
united action on the part of the citi-
zens to make it a success. 1t re-
quired publicity to stir the city to
action and We have endeavOred to
give the matter as much publicity as
possible. We are glad to see you
boosting for "a city beautiful" but
submit that you might have made
your front-page clean up article
cleaner of rubbish, itself, if you had
omitted the slam at the NewsBudget
incidentally, as long as you have
brought up the subject, it was the
News-Budget that suggested for La
dysmith the week of May to Is as
clean up week, as we saw other cit
les conducting, as part of months
clean up and brighten up campaign.
Our suggestion was adopted in the
issuing of the mayors proclamation.
