FARMING WORK
Suggestion Made That Va
cations Be Spent Thus
G.. OF G. FAvORS IDEA
400 Of Knox Co. Farmers
To Increase Crops, Re
ports Mayer
G. OF G. FAVORS IDEA

In connection with discussion of
what may be done in Knox county to
increase food production this sum-
mer and fall, Secretary Mayer of the
Chamber of Commerce, at the noon
day luncheon Wednesday, read some
interesting figures, showing the re-
| suit of hasty agricultural survey of
| the county.
Forty per cent of the farmers in
the county will increase their produc-
ton this year, chiefly in corn. Seven
ty.seven and five-tenths per cent will
not need extra labor, having already
made provisions for it. Twenty-Five
extra labor, particularly during the
harvest season. Forty per cent will
have the same crop production and Ia
per cent less. These figures were
based on the reports of 800 farmers,
representing 10 per cent of the farms
in the county.
In connection with a shortage in
labor, Supt p. G. Zemer of the public
schools urged that the Chamber of
Commerce consider the possibility of
its members devoting five, six or ten
days this summer TO actual work in
the harvest fields. A motion, endors-
ing Supt Zemer's suggestion, was of
fered by Ralph c. Ringwalt and unan-
imously carried. BY it, the secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce will list
all members of the organization who
are willing to undertake such work
, and also catalogue farmers who are
in need of labor
Supt. Zelner further spoke of the
| hearty response on the part of school
| children to the home garden idea.
This has been presented to them as a
work Of patriotism. Supt. Zemer
spoke against putting young men into
the United States army on the
grounds that the real life-blood of the
nation would be sapped.
r. s. Lord, endorsing home garden
ing, suggested that there might be an
overproduction of perishable goods
unless some care were devoted tC
marketing them. He suggested thai
housewives plan an unusually large
amount of canning.
w. S. Sperry spoke of the number
of tramps which visit Mt. Vernon
daily. Quit feeding them and force
them to work and there will be tina
much additional labor, was his sug
gestion.
The Rev. Foster c. Anderson, il
line with previous talks. advocated
as a slogan for the Chamber of Com
merce this summer Spend your va
cation on a farm" He believes th'
Chamber of Commerce should find ou
which farmers are in need of labor
DR.. j. NJ. Pumphrey put forth tn
idea of forming stock compan,
among members of the Chamber o
Commerce for the purchase OF
tractor, the same to be rented out t
farmers at price of $3.50 an acre
There would thus be an increase i
the number of acres titled in Kno
county.
Nice-President w. l.. Robinson, VIII
sounded the keynote of the meeting
suggested that members get pampl
let's ON storage and also start plantin
seeds indoors which may be put
0 the ground outdoors later.
S II. II. Miller advocated the placin
y OF an American flag on the publ
l square, stating that he had been asl
I ed to deliver an address at iiai
raising In Centerburg Friday an
-. urging that the county seat could d
; as much.

Color Combinations
In House Decorations

That color Is force-a language
and has psychological effect upon
people Is the opinion of Miss Araminta
Holman, instructor In home art I'm the
Kansas Agricultural college.
As color varies In value, hue and In
tensity, it excites different thoughts
and feelings Different colors suggest
definite feelings. Blue Ia cold. formal
and distant; green, cool and restful;
yellow, cheerful, brilliant and unity
ing; red, warm, rich and aggressive;
orange, hot, striking and decorative;
violet, mouruful, mystic and darken'
Ing.
The color combine tons used In
homes reflect personality and charac'
ter, and the occupants or visitors un-
consciously respond to the effect color
has upon them Colors In their full
intensity are strong, loud and vital.
Colors that have been neutralized ex'
press refinement and charm. Light
tones express youth, gayety and In
formaiity. Dark color tones express
strength, dignity, repose and serious
ness. -
There seems to be prevalent q gen
! eral idea, points out Miss Holman,
that In order to have we'll decorated
home a variety of color schemes must
be used. AS soon as one opens the
front door of some houses he receives
crazy quilt impression. There are a
variety OF colors throughout the house
as well as In each room.i The carpet
or rug is one color, the wall paper an
other and the furniture another One
receives n distracting feeling, and the
whole Ia utter confusion. In other
homes there Is at once feeling OF
quietness and rest, of unity and whole
ness.
