INDIANA MAN
To HELP DETECT
THE FARM LEAKS
New Department Added to Ex-
tension Branch Of State
Agricultural College, Farm
erS to Be Benefited

Especial CORRESPONDENCE TO MORNING JouhhAll
Agricultural College, n. NJ, June 16.
In line with the policy of the eX-
tension department of the New Mexico
agricultural college, TO increase the
efficiency of the department in every
manner possible, there has recently
been added to the field staff an ex-
pert whose entire time and attention
will be given to detecting leaks" in
the present farming system of the
state Mr. Elser, formerly assistant
state leader in cooperative extension
work in Indiana, is the man who will
carry on this important branch of
the department in New Mexico. He
will have the official title of farm
management demonstration and assist
ant state leader, and will conduct
demonstrations in the field under the
direction of A. G. Cooley, director of
extension work. Mr.. Elsers work will
be to go right to the farm talk to the
individual farmer, point out mistakes
the farmer may be making in the con-
duct of his farm, and suggest meth
DDS which will be more efficient and
profitable In other words a farmer
who is apparently going at things the
wrong way, who, for some reason or
another is not making things go in a
manner that will bring in the dollars,
will be shown how, by adopting a
modern method adapted to specified
conditions, to alter his situation and
circumstances. No attempt will be
made by the new field demonstrators
to impress his methods or his ideas
upon the farmer against his will. The
farmer will be given to understand
however. that the advice of the ex-
pert is available, and that if desired
information and demonstrations will
be furnished suited to actual condi-
tons.
Encouraging Reports.
Director Cooley. now that he has
an assistant who will do much of the
travelling for the extension de-
partment, will have more time to de-
vote to the actual work of directing
operations in the field. Reports from
the various county agents are very
encouraging, showing that there is a
Widespread desire on the part of the
people of New Mexico to do intelligent
farming, to grasp new ideas, to learn
new methods
The results obtained from juvenile
eluD Work are especially gratifying.
Cooperation is being extended by
bankers, merchants, boards of educa-
ton and town councils. The club
work is meeting with no opposition in
any part of the state on the other
hand, the cooperation is noticeable,
and the enthusiasm among the club
members themselves is great and
promises to become so contag ious
that within couple of years there
will be boys or girls club in every
part Of all the agricultural counties
of the state

The Fatal Mistake.

DR.. Clarence w. Westernlan has a great re-
spect for the grip, not only for its own char
acteristcs, but because it so readily leads to
pneumonia, which he considers possibly the
most dangerous of diseases.
DR.. Westerman Is a firm believer In fresh
air, fresh cold air, as q preventive and even a
cure for grip. He says that often a brisk walk
of a mile or so on a cold, frosty morning will
completely cure one who has been suffering
from a mild attack of grip.
DR.. Westerman finds that the disease does
not always mark It's victims lightly, but rather
often lays a heavy hanu on them. He has
known frequent cases in which the effects OF
the grip. general lassitude, weakness, lack OF
pep" lasted for fully three months after the
patient was pronounced cured.
The Journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation has the following to advise concerning
the treatment Of grip: iii t84 f0
ut is often difficult to convince the patient
that he should exercise special care in avoiding
further exposure. A day or two at home, with
rest and the usual remedies applied to cold,
will often be all that Is necessary for q rapid
convalescence. A few days care may prevent
n long illness. Those more severely afflicted
with fever. chill, aching bones and cough are
more easily persuaded to remain indoors.
When there is marked prostrationi or fever,
rest in bed should be enforced. Even though
the infection is not severe enough to cause
alarm, 1t leaves the body weakened and an
easier prey to pneumonia, which has been
prevalent during recent months.
Anything which makes the patient warm
improves his condition.. He may be given hot
matted milk. hot tea or hot lemonade, at more
or less frequent intervals. The patient may be
given a hot tub bath and then put into a warm
bed ina warm room as an efficient means OF
making him comfortable. Hot-water bags at
the feet and extra coverings to the bed are
often needed. ~,
Whenever the course of the disease Is pro-
longed or recurrence Of symptoms Of infection
are noted, q painstaking search will often be
rewarded by the discovery OF some unsupported
complication, which may be relieved by 'appro-
pirate treatment m
There is some balm in Gilead, then. Just
because Gen. La Grippe aims an assault at you
1t does not necessarily follow that you are
marked for slaughter.
You may meet the generals attack a dozen
times and survive them triumphantly You
may beat back his invasion. you may escape
being touched by him.
And forget the homespun remedies. Fight o
scientific fight. Arm yourself With n Their
mometer and have plenty Of quinine pills in the
magazine of your machine gun. For Gen. La
Grippe Is even now invading the United states
and It's going to be a very pretty fight to get

we and bill Jones and Tom Smith are pretty
likely to get the disease at some time during a
damn winter. but how much worse would 1t be
81 means of combating the grip were ineffec-
tual?
No. the general may attack vigorously and
all along the line, but he doesn't use poisonous
gas or dum-dum bullets. He wounds but he
doesn't often kill.
This may sound contradictory, when In
creased death rates are recollected. But It
must be remembered that Increased deaths are
due to the fact that so many persons get the
grin. OF the many that get 1t only a small
nercentage die. But even this small percentage
is large, in numbers.
still, you and 1 don't like to think that we'll
even be wounded. It's so much safer to avoid
the grip altogether.
Do so. Not by your old-fashioned, homes
spun remedies or preventives, but by following
the rules that doctors who have studied the
grips methods find to be best.
DR.. Starkloff. health commissioner Of St
Louis, gives the following rules:
1. Avoid kissing. (Hard, but sensible. Be
firm, yield not. Think Of the grip germs when
you are about to grab her, and weigh them
well-the kiss and the germ. May the best
man win!) VN9
q. Walk one mile in the open air twice daily
and you will not only avoid the grip, but will
add ten years to your life as we'll. iH
3. Try to avoid riding in crowded cars.
4. Avoid large assemblies Of people and poor
ly ventilated rooms.
s., Leave whisky alone, not because 1t causes
the grip. but because It weakens your resisting
power.
6. Become a fresh-alr fend.

Down through the middle ages marched Gen.
La Grippe. His coming was clothed by the
romantic men OF the middle ages with a tinge
OF the mysterious. The Italians, In the seven
teenth century, doped it out that the attacks OF
the dread disease were due to peculiar con-
formations and arrangements of the stars. The
influence OF the heavenly planets was thought
TO be responsible for the grip. Thus the dis
ease came to be known as the Influence or,
in the Italian, the Influenza"
Gen. La Grippe seems to have started all Of
his forced marches from Asia and then to have
proceeded across Europe In a westerly or
northwesterly direction and finally into tn
United States by way Of Newfoundland, In all
his marches he has accomplished his grim pur-
pose-to swell the death rate enormously. In
some cpidcmics the disease has spread through
all Of Europe within six weeks. Wherever 1t
has appeared the whole community has suf-
fered to a greater or less extent, irrespective
Of age or condition Of life. r..
The general does not always observe the pro-
Cessional courtesies-the ~niceties due from one
commander to another. He is not gallant. For
at times Gen.. La Grippe will turn admiral and
attack fleets at sea. away from all communica-
ton with the land and to such an extent as to
disable them temporarily for service.
This happened in 1882 in the case Of the
squadron of Admiral Kempenfelt. which had to
return to England from the coast Of France in
consequence of a severe epidemic OF influenza.
