Extension Department.

Extension Department.
As it Is perfectly impossible fol
for the agent to Visit all the farmer,
in his parish. he Is only required tt
visit his demonstrators (those work
ing demonstrations), but ne must
visit these every month, if possible
The balance of the farmers can be
and are enrolled as cooperators on
promising to try out the demonstra.
tion methods on certain area o.
their farms. The cooperators are
mailed the same bulletins and circu.
lars as are given to the demonstra-
tors. The difference Is that the
agent Is not required to visit their
farms except under exceptional con-
ditions. The cooperators should br
invited by postal card to meet the
agent on his visits to the demonstra.
tors in their respective neighbor-
hoods. At these demonstration fiel.
meetings. the agent discusses the
methods Of preparation of soil. plant
ing. cultivation. or seed selection ac-
cOrding to the season.
The farm demonstration work ap-
preciating the impossibility of the
agent visiting every farmer individu-
ally has developed this plan OF
reaching the farmers by demonstrsr
tions and field meetings Of coopera-
tors. In order to best meet the needs
Of the farmers and their families
there should be organized a farmers
association for each school distric
with monthly meetings held at tn
.schoolhouse. The agent could NEE
with these associations and his SER
vices would reach and benefit much
larger number Of people in each COM
munity
The work Of an agent must be
adapted to meet the needs Of his
parish. In general, the following
main lines OF work should be under
taken:
l. Soil Improvement demon
strations to increase fertility
and productiveness.
2. Crop production demon
strations to increase yields. to

What is a Merchant Marine?

1t is, says Lincoln Colcord in an ad-
mirable article in the January number of
the North American Review, far more
than fleet of ship st is quite as much
the men who own them; above all, it is
the concrete expression of an extensive
maritime impulse and activity in the ma
ton at large" These things, says Mr..
Colcord, are to seek in this country. He
considers the question whether, indeed,
the creation of merchant marine is pos
sible of america. Following is an ex-
tract from his article:
The Decay of Seamanship.
sometimes wonder, when reading the
various schemes for rehabilitation of
our American merchant marine, how
the great shore public thinks that the
spirit of seamanship is suddenly going
be rehabilitated A merchant marine is
far more than a fleet of ships; it is quite
as much the men who run them, as the
ships themselves; but, above all, it is the
concrete expression of an extensive
maritime impulse and activity in the ma
ton at large A on-martime nation
may suppose that if it takes the
notion to build fleet of steamers, it will
have a merchant marine; but nothing
could be farther from the truth. The
ships must compete with the ships of
other nations, and for this they must
have wise legislation; they must be ham
died safely and successfully, and for this
they must have race of seamen to man
them. Wise nautical legislation cannot
come out of non maritime country; and
as for race of seamen, this is factor
which cannot be created in day or even
in generation.
In the past we had a splendid race of
seamen, but it has now died out; the
traditions of the sea have lapsed in those
homes where once they were the sole ro-
mantle food for the ambitions of the
young. So completely has the era pass
ed by. so alien to our present ways and
occupations does it seem, that it is hard
for US even to imagine day when the
major activity Of the land was express
ed in nautical terms, when old and young
lived in world of shipping, wrapped up
in whole order of duties, affairs and pur-
poses which have now been cast aside.
Can such a situation be again brought
about in full force by any decree Of bust
ness or desire of democracy? The an
swer is that it cannot be brought about
at all, in the sense in which the country
at present conceives the problem; if we
are to become a maritime people once
more, the movement must bring itself
about, as it were, through process of

slow and natural growth. To take few
city-bred boys and give them term on
a training ship does not make seamen of
them, and does not tend to attract to-
wards the seafaring profession body of
the most spirited and ambitious young
men in the country. 1t is a grave ques-
ton if, under present conditions in the
nautical world, such body Of young
men would ever be attracted towards
the seafaring profession. These condl-
ton must first be modified, before such
a contamination is possible; and this will
add still another delay to the normal
growth of sound merchant marine.

ANOTHER AMERICAN HEARD FROM.

Another American has been heard
from in the Halls of Congress, and he
speaks the language of that real Ameri-
canism which knows no party and no sec
ton No drawer or truer words than
those with which Congressman Gardner
of Massachusetts angered and alarmed
the aliens and neurotlcs of the House of
Representatives have come from Wash
ington in long time, They compile
ment the outburst of indignant patriot
ism with which Senator Williams of
Mississippi earlier in the week similarly
affected a similarly afflicted Senate.
The peculiar strength of Congressman
Gardner's arraignment lies in the fact
that its target is not the Administration
so much as the hysterical, spineless and
money-loving among US who are making
common cause with the aliens in our
midst in their effort to terrorize the
President into modifying an all too timid
foreign policy. The diagnosis of Cap
tain Gardner covers the case completely.
If public opinion were in it's ordinary
rational state this House would sooner
vote to forbid the sale of handouts to the
police than vote to forbid the sale of war
munitions to the Allies. When, however,
it makes Harry Thaw a national hero and
fills the front pages of its newspapers with
the sailings of Bedlam boat, then we
need not be surprised to find that there
are serious adherents to the doctrine that
the best way to end the European war is
to follow Bulgaria's example and stab the
Allies in the back.
Congress has assembled and three groups
of men are demanding the enactment of a
. law to stop the export of war material, a
law prescribing an embargo. as it is called.
The German-American demands the en-
barge out of love for the Fatherland, the
cotton king joins in the chorus out Of love
for mammon and the pacifist adds his
hallelujah out of love for God. Upon my
word, l think the German American is the
best man of them all. His motives may
be hyphenitic. but they are not neurotic
His performances may skirt on treason,
but they are not shabby.
