With plenty or rain and sunshine
and good markets the farmers OF Har-
rlson county will have meat when COM
pany comes, never fear.
AS to the county road engineer, he
is not merely bloodsucker. In his
case we have 10 contend with gross
incompetence. Look at the new.taryia
road from Clarksburg UP towards
West Milford. Any negro cart driver
can beat II all hollow. And this was
built presumably by and with the adj
vice OF a $500 year road engineer.
l!Teamsters who travel over II are
unanimous In saying 1t is worse than
any dirt road in the county. They are
now driving long distanc, !. out OF their
way to avoid it.
This road extends into Union district
and we are informed that the money
levied to repair the roads here this
year (1916) has all been squandered
on the tarvla road and there is not one
dollar available for any repair work
however much II is needed.
About all we can see that our engl-
neer does to our roads Is to ride over
them once or twice year in an auto
mobile, and we submit that cur roads
need work with pick and shovel more
than inspection from an automobile
It is perhaps true that the county
court needs the services Of an. engi-
neer two or three days in year and
one can be hired for IS per day So
you see that SIS to $1,000 is the rela-
ton OF what we get out Of and what we
pay for a county road engineer. We
do not need him. His salary would
better be spent in putting rock in the
mud holes and cleaning out bitches
along the roads.

Needless County Officers

and there Is no reason to suspect tna'
they would not continue to do 80.
Our genial county agent has adj
mitted publicly that on his own farm
his scientific methods did not pay dur
ing the hard times. He says the bal
ance was on the wrong side of the led
ger. Now, Tie farmers OF Harrison
county, generally speaking, made a
living and kept out of debt during the
hard times, because their conservative
and practical methods permitted them
to cut dowHcxpenscs when they were
not making much money. In these
cases 1t looks like they are able to
give the county agent some valuable
pointers. We do not know whether
or not any OF his farming operations
have Oeen successful, because we do
not know how much money he has
spent on his farm or whether he made
this money by scientific methods OF
farming or by telling other people
how 10 make it by these methods.
The clamor for an agent did not
originate with the farmers. The board
OF trade managed, by industry and
perseverance, TO rake together an or
ganization on paper, and this, with
the fatherly so!icltude Of our county
court is responsible for our $4,000 Il
year agricultural agent. The meetings
held throughout the county last year
were so sparsely attended as to be-
come the laughing stock of everybody.
Why don't the farmers attend and be
carried fftheir feet The reason is
they have heard OF scientific farming
before as they read it in daily papers,
in the farm papers, in bulletins and
reports from the United States and
state departments OF agriculture and
they do not care to take 1t second
hand from the agent.
The county agentcomes to the farm
ers OF Harrison county with no new
message. We know that with money
and labor land can be improved. We
have heard of legumes and nitrogen,
of the lining OF soils and Of the bal
anced ration. We have some knowl-
edge of these things and we make use
of it when it does not cost more than
it comes to- We have seen silos-seen

Whose Effect There is Some
what Similar to That in
the United States.

SEOUL, Korea, Jan. 10-The Euro
pean war has so Ear favorably affected
the industry and commerce of Korea
according to NJ. Komatzu, commits
sioner of foreign affairs for the gov
eminent general. 1t Is true, MI.
Komatzu pointed out, that the for
eign trade in graphite, says beans,
cotton and some other articles was
disadvantageously Influenced at the
outset of the war, but this tendency
has changed much for the better
The export in cereals, ox-hides, live
cattle and other articles has had an
active demand especially from Rus
STA which has also placed large or
ders for boots and ammunition
pouches with Korean companies.
The total figures for export during
the year ending July. 1915, stands
about forty-two million yen or S2l,-
900, 900. This shows an increase OF
five and one-half million yen as COM
pared with figures for the preceding
and corresponding period. As for
imports, prices in wheat -four drugs
and medicines and matches and 4
few other articles rose somewhat at
the beginning of the war but fell
afterwards to the usual standard.
Some fluctuation in the prices have
since been experienced, but 1t APP
pears that this cannot be charged
necessarily to the war. The total
figures for imports during the twelve
months above mentioned were about
sixty-five million yen, which shows
decrease OF sixteen million from
the preceding year. This means
that the excess Of imports over ex-
ports has decreased by about nine
teen million yen during the period as
against the preceding year.
Mr.. Komatzu said that difficulty
was experienced in manufactures to
some extent owing TO the scarcity OF
chemicals but this seems to have
been overcome at present. Among
other things tobacco has found a
new market in China and there is a
good prospect in store for tobacco
manufacture in Korea. He empha-
sized that transportation by sea has
been affected by the war only to a
very slight degree of Korea and
vladivostock, ports in Shantung pro-
vince and other places.
There is one thing however,
which is causing q great deal Of in-
convenience 10 the extensive mining
industry in Korea and that is the
scarcity OF dynamite. This is inter-
fering seriously with the engineering
and mining work. Before the out
break OF the war the greater part
of the explosive used in Korea was
imported from Glasgow but the
quantity imported has steadily de-

elsewhere and, with lot Of reckless
agitation, we confidently expect to see
the same thing in Harrison county.
Last year we saw every load Of sllage
fed cattle that went to the market
from West Virginia, lose money and
lots OF II. or course this was not the
county agents fault but we know a
few persons whose enthusiasm for
sllos and for the agent has cooled
down perceptibly.
Every farmer In Harrison county
knows that he can make his farm pro-
duce more than 1t now does but he
does not believe In producing anything
at loss. Our county agent advocates
silos and intensive farming or,
Scientific Agriculture" as some peo-
Iple like to call 1t.
Intensive farming is practiced in
parts Of Europe and other densely pop
ulated countries. but the people who
do the work live on cabbage, soup and
rye bread, or still less. The age Of
cabbage soup has not yet arrived in
Harrison county, W. Va. Intensive
farming will be practced here some
time no doubt. but at present there is
no market and no use for more farm
products and any material increase
will put the price below cost Of pro-
duction.
We do not know OF any farmer who
needs the advice OF our county agent.

President.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan 10-E%-
Presidetn Taft in formal statement
given out to the newspapers for pub
LEGATION today makes the point that
the representatives OF the business
interests or the country are giving
their support to the proposals of the
League to Enforce Peace, OF which
he is the president. Mr.. Taft also
commends the idea OF league Of
American republics which was put
forth last week at the Pan American
Congress, as one which looks toward
the creation OF worldwide league
Of nations, such as is contemplated
by the Taft league.
Mr.. Taft's particular reference Is
to the referendum vote OF the Cham
Der of Commerce Of the United States
which was announced in last Wednes-
days papers, ana which is in favor
of a plan for the establishment OF a
permanent world peace at the close
of the present European war. This
plan in its essential features is ldentl'
cal with that of the League to En-
force Peace. Mr.. Taft's statement
in full, follows:
Definite Plan.
The vote of the Chamber OF Com
merce OF the United States in favor
OF the proposal to put economic and
military pressure behind interna-

Just been announced from Washing

great body OF American business men

smoke in this referendum, represent
every portion of the United States
and must be taken as expressing the
Judgment of the business interests of

In considering the question whether
or not Harrison county needs an asri-
cultural agent and road engineer,
we wish to state that personally, we
mud no taulL with these officers. and
that this article is ir no wise Il per-
sonal criticism.
In the beginning We hold that it is
an insult to the intelligence Of the
farmers of Harrison county to pre-
sumo that they need special advice
any more than our merchants, our
bankers, blacksmiths or any other
class of citizens, and we do affirm that
farmers do not think much of advice
that is foisted upon them at an out
rageously high price.
Employment of county agent pre-
supposes that the farmers OF Harrison
county are in bad way, but little
inquiry will reveal that they are not.
