"Farms are factories. The town
that adds to their efficiency, adds to
its own trade. So it is worth while
for the town to aid in the promotion
of better and more profitable agri-
culture. 1t is directly to the interests
of the town that the farmer be an eff
ficient farmer; that he makes money;
that he adds to the deposits in both
his banks-the town bank where his
deposits are written in the pass-book,
and the farm bank where his deposits
are certified to by larger crops from
more productive soil
"The average country town, that
is surrounded by a community of
farmers who are barely making a liv-
ing, will be peopled by merchants who
barely make living. 1t is the pur-
chasing power of the profit, rather
than the total product, that measures
the farmers ability to purchase and
pay. Where crops show no profit,
trade is sure to suffer.
ITO vitalize the village is to add to
the efficiency of the farm. Likewise,
the life of the average country town
depends upon the surrounding agri-
cultural community, and to marked
degree the veal or woe Of the one is
inseparably connected with that of
the other. If the town is slow, the
farming community suffers: if the
fields fail to produce fully, or if there
is waste of crops, the town as well as
the country loses. So there is every
reason why country town and coun-
try community should work togeth-
err"

tary of the Missouri State Board of

mature consideration he sees in the

RECOUNTS
OF DYNAMITERS

(Associated Press By Federal Wirelessl
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dee. 10
Details OF the alleged bomb plots for
which Franz Bopp. German consul
general at San Francisco, with five
others, are on trial on charges of
conspiracy, we're revealed in court
yesterday by Louis Smith, govern.
ment witness and codefendaat, after
the prosecution had scored a point in
defending Smiths right To testify.
Smith was permitted 10 return to
the witness stand yesterday alter
Judge Dooling had compelled John w.
Preston, United. States district attor-
ney, TO show a telegram stating that
Smith had been restored TO citizen
ship. Several days ago the defense
succeeded in temporarily disqualify-
ing Smith as a witness by alleging
that he had been convicted OF a
felony. This move succeeded in stop
ping his testimony.
. Smith testified that on May -, 1915,
Crowley had directed him TO make a
bomb and place il on the British
steamship TaIthybius, then loading
munitions and supplies in Seattle.
The bomb, said Smith, had been
manufactured out of 40 sticks OF dyna-
mite, a suitcase and fuse timed TO
burn three days.
The witness stated that Crowley's
directions were that the bomb should
be placed In an automobile crate
which was to be loaded into the Tai
thybius.
In prying a board loose from the
crate that night, said Smith, he made
such a noise that he became fright
ened, threw the suitcase dynamite
bomb into the waters of the harbor,
and told Crowley the next day that
he had planted the Internal machine.
The witness then related how he
had shown Crowley a suitcase sup
posed to be full of dynamite, but in
which he had substituted stovewood.
In recounting the story of the dyna-
hitting of a barge of explosives in
Seattle harbor, which the prosecu-
ton charges TO the defendants, Smith
testified that Crowley disappeared
the night that the barge was blown
up. The next day, said Smith, Crow
ley bought 20 acres of stumps as an
excuse for having the dynamite in his
possession.

FARMERS URGED TO RID
 ORCHARDS OF INSECTS
Much Can Be Gainsd by Attacking Pests in Their Winter Quarters.

Take advantage of the bugs in their winter quarters, the remnants of old plants, the trash and litter about the garden and orchard. Burn out the fence rows, destroy tte trash anG litter wherever it has accumulated by burn- ing it or blowing it under. Cut out the dead trees and limbs in the orchard advice given by T. J. Talbert. of the Missouri School of Agriculture.
 This cleaning-up about the orchard and garden will destroy a dozen or more of our most destructive pests. For example. the plum curculio is now wintering as a full-grown bettle in the trash and litter along the fence rows or about the trees: the 1codling moth will be found in the worm stage within silken cocoon tucked away under the shelly bars. of dead trees and dead limbs and the fruit u ee bark beetles or siiot-hoIe borers will also be found wintering mostly as adult beetles in dead or dying trees.
 Under the old stalks and rubbish in the garden and about the borders will be found the adult asparagus beetle. bean leaf beetle, harlequin cabbage, bug, flea beetles. the striped -cucum- Der beetle and the chrysalis of the cabbage worm. If you want to kill and pea vines and other remains of vegetation in the garden and along the border.
 Fall blowing and cultivation will al- so enable you to have vegetables a week or ten days earlier next spring because you will be able to plan: carl fer on fall-p:owed ground Early thrifty, healthy plants are also less liable to injury from insects.
