COUNTY AGENT HELPS

In Franklin county, following the
shortage in hay and other feed, SER
ious condition has arisen. Alfalfa
hay has risen to $500 a ton and
many farmers and stockmen rushed
their cattle on the market AS a re-
suit, the stock prices tumbled Thru
the efforts of the county agent and
the farm bureau, arrangements were
made to allow farmers who were not
beet producers to secure beet pulp
from the factory, with the result that
the majority now feel that they will
be enabled to winter their stock thru.
The rush of cattle has been stopped
and the county will profit according
ly because of this cooperative effort.
The county agent, Mr. j. A. Morrison,
is now working to bring cheaper hay
into the county thru cooperative pur-
chasing.

COUNTY AGENTS GIVE HELP
IN FIGHTING BLACKLEG

During the last month an unusual
number of losses from blackleg have
been reported, and the county agents
have been exceedingly busy in giving
demonstrations in the use of vaccine
and in helping farmers and stockmen
fight the disease. During October
nearly 1000 animals were vaccinated
by the county agents in Southern
Idaho.
1t is worth while to mention, that
following these demonstrations, in
terest has been stimulated in the use
of vaccine as against home made
connections of probably little value,
and that more and more farmers
are providing themselves with outfits
for vaccinating cattle. This is testi-
mony to the good offices of a county
agent in actually promoting the wide
adoption of better practices.

up-to-date news items written in the
newspaper style. The articles con-
tributed were well composed and
snappy. This is a progressive idea
on the part of Mrs. Phelps, who is
talented and charming woman with
original ideas along lines of educa-
tional work. who believes so fer as
possible the pupils work should be
made practical and not entirely theo-
retical. Work of this kind gives the
student a personal touch with life's
real activities, helps their town news
paper and will give them the conf
dence necessary for good work when
in after years they may be called
upon to express their views in writ
ten language for the criticism of the
public.

FARM BUREAU HELPS AGENT
REACH MORE PEOPLE

In connection with the blacklef
work, Mr.. Mccall of Canyon county
reports how the farm bureau type OF
organization helps him to reach more
farmers. He says:
"On Tuesday Of this week. in re
Spouse to call from the Ten Davis
community where l had held an or
ganization meeting, | spent the day
with one Of the community council
men vaccinating calves for blackleg.
This community councilman had
list of the farmers prepared who
wished to vaccinate, and we visited
them as rapidly as possible and did
the work of caccinating. Each man
had been notified by the community
councilman that we were coming and
in practically every case. their calves
were caught and ready for us when
we arrived, and no time was lost Be-
fore dinner time, we had vaccinatcd
70 head of calves on different farms.
ne operation COulu nave De6n re-
peated in the afternoon if the sup
ply Of calves had held out. but only
five herds were vaccinated in the af-
making a total Of LOT calves
for the day on IA differ
ent farms. This only goes to show
what proper cooperation with the |
County Agent will do from the stand |
point Of accomplishing work, as fully |
four times as much was accomplished !
On this day as would normally have
been accomplished by the County |
Agent when working alone with tut
ocal support.
On Tuesday and Friday evenings,
farm Bureau organization meetings
we're held at Parma and Lake View.
At Parma out of total attendance Of
2, eleven farmers applied for mem
)ership in the Farm Bureau; and at
lake View out of an attendance of
}, seven applied for membership. Ee
,ecially at Parma the farmers we're
on the scheme of or
,anization, and promised many ad-
Iitional members"

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Sir Rider flag gard, the author, has been commits stoned by. the British government to visit all the British colonies with . view of Investigating the changes which will be necessary in rebuilding the empire after the close of the war. It is stated that he will visit all the colonies and will confer with the colonial governments in or der to ascertain their views in regard to trade relations and other matters of vital importance to the empire.
 The government of England has long recognized that the hope of the future for the empire Hes in the loy- atty of the colonies and that some plan must be evolved whereby they would be drawn closer to the mother country.
 The war has caused the British na- tional debt to mount to enormous fig ures and British statesmen fear for the future unless the colonies assume a portion of the debt. /
