BY A. Il. Wade. County Agent,

Every one having clover from
which they wish to produce seed
the coming season, will confer a
favor ON the whole county by re-
porting the number of acres to
the county agrieulturist. in order
that steps may be taken towards
securing clover hnller to do the
threshing.
ANY one wishing culture for in
oculating clover, alfalfa, or peas,
can obtain the same by calling up
this Office.
Parties buying pea seed should
examine it carefully for pea Wee
vii. Ii there are any found the
peas should be put in a barrel and
an ounce of carbon bisulphide
PLACID in a saucer and set ON top of
the seed and the barrel covered
with canvas or paper to keep in
the gas. The peas should be sub
jeeted to this treatment for six
hours. This will kill the weevil
and not injure the peas. Carbon
bisulphide should be kept away
from the fire as it is inilammable.
AT a meeting called BY County
Agriculturist A. Il. Wade, last
Saturday, a Farm Bureau for
Lewis county was organized.
The following officers were Sc
lected: Il. w. VanSy0c, Pres.
T.. Nelson, vice president j. j.
Nanthey, secretary; committee
on county agent work, +. A. Wes-
ter, w. w. Nixon, y. II. Jacobs,
w. A. Burghardt, II. U. Warna-
cut, Nj. c. Hall and /. +. Raglan
committee on finance, ID. III. Low
~, Clay Smith and A. kaline
committee on constitution and by
laws, A. f. Wade, Il. Nelson and |
+. A .Wester.
This bureau was organized for
the benefit Of the farmers of Lew
is county, to aid them in growing
better crops and stock, TO bring
about closer cooperative rela-
tionship between the farmer and
county agent, 10 organize the
work of county agent in such a
that he may be able to do /
the most good and better assist
the farmers in their work, TO have
a representative body TO go to for
council and TO work thru, and as
a foundation TO sustain and mp
hold the office Of agriculturist,
for this county, with which It is
affiliated.
In the Middle West everyone
IS familiar with these bureaus
md Lewis county, as was the case
n obtaining an agriculturist, is
me Of the first in the state to adj
i0pt this progressive idea.
Prof n. L. Root, pure seed /.
peetor for Northern Idaho, was
Ilso present and gave very in
eresting talk on pure and impure !
eeds. He warned all to be care
ul to select only seeds Of known !
'itality and purity. His talk oc- 4
upied several hours and was at
entiyely listened 10.

| WORD FOR THE FIREMEN.

A NOhD fOR THE FIREMEN.
To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir'-lt is pleasing to note that the
volunteer hremen are being cham
pioned in your editorial columns.
From pretty general acquaintance
ship with our fre-hghters. the writer
is confident that your able comments
in your issue OF June Is. will be ap-
preciated by the men OF the several
companies.
There are many Of the opinion. and
perhaps, with good reason. that much
OF the knocking OF the local FIRE de-
partment is inspired" Now. wasn't
II after a protracted period Of knock
ing, a year or so ago. that insurance
rates we're boosted? And can il he
that the way is being prepared for
another advance?
AS a sort Of Counter irritant" for
the abuse OF the fremen. II might he
in order for the hremen, business
men and others to give little CON
sideration 10 the inadequate laws for
the protection Of policy holders OF
the insurance companies operating in
Delaware. ANY one interested will
learn much by reading the FIRE insur-
ance laws Of New Jersey. Pennsylva-
mia, Maryland, Kansas. or most any
Of the other States BY way Of con-
trast, 1t would be we'll to compare the
laws Of the Commonwealths mention
ed with the sections Of the Delaware
statutes bearing on the subject
II the losses from fire and water
are so fiightful as criticism Of the fr5
department would indicate. why is II
that the insurance companies do moi
operate an insurance patrol" and
help protect the goods of the policy
| holders?
As a citizen and friend OF the fre
men. I extend my sincere thanks 4
you for your manly and straightfot
ward defense Of our volunteers.
Yours very truly,
SAMUEL WESLEY LONG.
