LARGE FRUIT CROP IN
 GERMANY Is BLESSING
Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The unusually large crop of fruit throughout Ger many this fall has made unnecessary the existence of a conservation organi- zation known as the War Committee of the Fruit Manufacturing Industry. '' This, composed of manufacturers of preserves and marmalades, was form ed when it was feared that large Quan- titles of fruit would go to waste unless some step was taken to make it into substitutes for butter and fat.
 Individual manufacturers all over Germany have taken the initiative themselves, however, and report that because of the good season they have produced twice and in some cases three times as much marmelade as usual Virtually all the rest of the crop not so used has been eaten as fresh fruit. No less than 200 German cities have imported carloads of ap- ples, pears and the like for their pop ulations Germany not only has eat en an unprecedented amount of fruit this season, but has also record amount of preserved fruit on hand for future needs.

AGRICULTURAL DEMONSTRATION
 TRAIN ID BE DISCONTINUED

terest, but from the viewpoint of eff ciency and results the Superintendent believes that it will not be desirable to operate such a train in the future unless more abundant funds are avail able. The cost to the railroads and the Agricultural Extension Service of this six weeks trip is about S5,O0U, which could be more effectively spent in other forms of extension work. Two thousand farmers visited personally on their farms by extension specialists would derive greater benefits measur- ed by dollars and cents than 10000 people (not all farmers) receive from visiting the demonstration train. Five thousand dollars would pay for visits to 1000 farmers, for 200 farmers meet ings attended by 5000 farmers and their families, and for many co-opera- tive demonstrations, boys and girls clubs, and farmers organizations be- sides"

A recent ruling of the U. $. Department of Agriculture is to the effect that extension workers receiving any part of their salaries from the Smith Lever fund will not be allow ed to accompany or in any other war assist with agricul- tural demonstration trains.
 This ruling prevents any members of the U. of A. agri- cultural extension service from participating in agricul- tural demonstration trains. The reason for this ruling is not difficult to see, and it is interesting to note that the Agricultural Extension Ser vice had already come to a similar decision, before this ruling was made, that agricul- tural demonstration trains were not an effective form of extension work.
 It is believed that the snug amount of money which is spent on agricultural demon stration trains can be more ef' lively used for other forms or extension work, such as fi- nancing the work of eXten- sion specialists and county farm advisers.
 Experience has shown that the most efficient work is being done by means of repeated visits by these extension workers to individual farmers, groups of farmers, and farmers organizations. It is not enough to simply run de- monstration train and make a great deal of noise and attract big crowd, for this does not bring results. AS rule, not long after the demonstration train has passed, the farmer has for gotten what he saw on the train or only has mixture of remembrance of what he did see. The real effective work in extension lies in the follow up" After the farmers interest has been awakened, it is the desire of the Agricultural Extension Service to make him repeated visits so that he may be assisted in putting into prac- tice any new ideas that he may be in- terested in.
 In the Annual Report of the Agricul- tural Extension Service the following statement appears: "The demonstra- tion train has in the past served to attract attention and arouse much in-

Yuma Greatest Agricultural Section on Earh Says Edwi
DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION
 OF ARIZONA LANDS. WHICH?

The people of the State of Arizona are facing a serious situation with a complacency that is perhaps equaled only by their ignorance of the sub ject.
 The history of all the other states in the Union proves that they have been exploit ed instead of developed. Thus development is a scientific business process and is based on the theory that the natural resources of any state belong to the people of the state and not to "carpet-bagging" inter ests which may come into the state from the outside.
 It is, nevertheless, true that a new state must be developed by outside capital; but there is no erason why outside capi- tai should be allowed to take away more than it's share of the natural resources. A le- gitimate system of taxation is one which will tax the output of concerns or individuals who are developing the natu- ral resources, thus giving to the people in the state their proper share of what really belongs to them.
 In Arizona the exploitation of agricultural lands by un- scrupuolus persons is assum- ing serious proportions.
 Acting on the antiquated and un- scientific theory that three install ments of settlers are necessary in or der to establish prosperous farming communities, the real estate dealers, land companies, land locators, commer- cial organizations, and even the pub lie press, are busily engaged in pro paganda to attract new settlers to Ari- zona will-nilly. AS result of this, one of the best agricultural crops which has been produced in Arizona is of the knocker variety. The people can hardy be blamed when they come to the State expecting to find certain unusually favorable conditions and meet with disappointment.
 The U. of A. Agricultural Extension Service believes that no effective de- velopment can be accomplished in this State until everybody concerned in it's development, including farmers, bank
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-12-02

CTS, transportation interests, business men, and the press will agree on policy of scientific, business-like, ra- tional development which will put it's agriculture on firm foundation. There sometimes seems to be some question as to wheteher the press of the State is sincerely interested in it's development. Shall we continue to allow the agricultural resources of Arizona to be exploited, or shall we take hand in the game and do some real developing g?-University of Ari- zona Press Letter.

Cedar Rapids, May 27--Lydia XVII
loicz daughter Of Adam Kiviloicz, who
works in Cedar Rapids and lives on a
small farm near the Northwestern
stone quarry, is only 10 years old. In
pluck, nerve and strength to live thru
hardships she is superior to many adult
women. Lydia Wednesday enjoyed a
good sleep in Matron Fletcher's apart
ments at the police station, for Lydia
was in need Of rest. She was found
early Wednesday morning after having
lived the life Of a tramp since Sunday
afternoon. Her clothes were as wet
as if she had been dragged out of the
river, for she spent three nights and
nearly two days in the rain. Yet Lydia
was not broken in spirit and did not
seem broken in health. Wednesday
noon she said that she was not at ali
sick and that her body did not ache.
Sunday afternoon Lydia's parents
entertained to of Mr.. Kiviloicz's
friends on the Kiviloicz farm. The
fathers friends gave Lydia 90 cents
to buy delicacies with. In the after
noon Lydia's brother hitched a horse
to the buggy and drove the friends to
their homes in Cedar Rapids. During
the parting Lydias parents and her
brother did not notice that Lydia con-
ceived the notion of walking to the
city to buy candy. Lydia gave cents
to her younger sister. and with 10
cents in her hand walked to Cedar
Rapids. She thought that after buying
her candy she would meet her brother
and would ride home with him.
Lydia's parents soon missed her.
They made search of the woods anc
fields and inquired among friends. But
Lydia was not to be found. Tuesday
night the disappearance of the child
was reported to the police
Wednesday morning Lydia was found
near the union depot. She was wet and
hungry. Some one bought her break
fast in the station dining room AMI
called the police.
When Lydia arrived at the police
station she was shaking from cod.
She answered questions intelligently.
but seemed somewhat dazed. Police
Matron Fletcher. however, decided
that Lydia was in no condition to
answer questions at this time. She
ierked the wet clothes off Lydia and
the little Polish girl was bundled in a
warm bed Lydia fell asleep like
healthy babe.
Lydia's clothes did not indicate that
she was neglected at home. Her
clothes were not stylish, but were wei!
made and showed indications of hav-
