EXTENSION NOTES

On last Saturday over a hundred farmers met at the court house in Prescott in response to a call from the county agent to consider the ad- visibility of growing wheat this com ing season. District Agent Harry F. kapp was present and went into the wheat growing project in detail. dis cussing the plan of securing seed, planting, fertilizing, harvesting and milling. He stated that it is possible that we will not be able to get the flour from the wheat country at any price.
 Uncle Ben Steele, former county agent, spoke on wheat growing and endorsed District Agent Kapp's talk. Short talks were also made by Messrs. Sweitzer and Spoonamore.
 At this point the meeting adjourned until the afternoon session which was a business meeting.
 Representatives of the banks were present and pledged their financial support in securing seed.
 Something over 500 bushels of wheat and oats were subscribed and this amount will be increased as many who expect to SOW wheat and oats were not present. Quite number of farmers put in orders for rye.
 Messrs. Spoonamore, Phelps, Brown Edwards and Mitchell, assisted by the county agent, were chosen as pur- chasing committee. It will be the middle of September before the order is placed, so all farmers who wish wheat or rye seed should see one of the above. This seed v.ill be ordered in car load lots and draft attached to bill of lading Those purchasing seed will be expected to pay cash for it on getting it out of the car
 The growing of these small grains will be great factor in sustaining the live stock of the county. In 1916 there were 9730 head of cows in the county valued at $76,7S5, and 12,359 head of hogs valued at S2O,O9O. This year there are 13030 head of cows valued at $143,215 and 17,326 head of hogs valued at S44,765 This is good sign and we need to make like increase next year. Live stock is the basis of all farming.
 Between 40 and 50 horses and mules have been listed with me for sale at an average price of $190. The War writes me that our price is too high for animals in general and suggests that we classify them and send price with class and they can then know whether it will be worth while to visit us.
 Yours very truly,
 NJ. C. Ferguson, Go. Agent.

ITALIANS GAINING
 SURELY, IF SLOWLY
Breaking Down Austrian Resis- tance, Despite Heavy Rein forcements-Germans Fail in the West.

New York, Aug. 27.-Somewhat slowly, but nevertheless surely. the Italians are breaking down the resis- tance of the Austrians in the region around Monte Santo, north of Gorizia and making their way eastward to- ward the border of upper Carniola. In their endeavor to hold back the Italians, the Austrans have brought to this sector large numbers of fresh men at at last reports the fighting was more intense, but with the Ital- lans having overcome the resistance ot the Austrians at various points. [ Practically nothing is said in the Italian official statement except as it records the advances of General Ca dorna's men since they began their offensive from the region of Tolmino to the sea. The Italian war office probably desires to conceal from the enemy the exact objectives. The lat est communication says nothing of the situation on the Carso front. where previous reports had announced pro- gress for the Italians toward Trieste. On the front in France the Germans have been throwing counter-attacks against the French line in the region of Verdun, but not only have the forces of General Petain maintained their gains. but have taken more than HOO additional prisoners.
 Likewise on the Aisne front the German crown prince is keeping up his attack against the French, but here also the attempts met with com plete failure.
 Along the front held by the British the operations have scarcely risen above the character of trench raids, although on various sectors vigorous duels are in progress.
 The Berlin war office reports the capture of Russian positions near Jacobstadt, between Riga and Dvinsk, on the northern Russian front, but it makes no mention of resumption of the operations begun last week east of Riga.
 In Roumania, the Russo Roumanian forces still are holding their own against the invaders, having retaken height positions northwest of Soveria, which the Germans captured last week.
 On the Fokshani sector Field Mar shal von Mackenzen's forces seeming ly have been unable to make further advances owing to the stiffening in the line of the defenders.

WILL ENCOURAGE
| M MIGRATION OF.
INDIAN LABOR
Will Provide Fair Substitute
for Abolished Contract
Labor.

London, Sept PA plan for en-
couraging the emigration of native la
borers from India to British Guiana,
Trinidad Jamaica, and Fiji, an
nounced by the British government.
il expected to result in the perna-
nent settlement of many thousand
East Indians in each of these four
colonies. three of which are close
enough to the Atlantic seaboard OF the
United States to make. the project OF
neighborly interest to the American
people.
The object is to provide a fair SUBJ
stitute for the abolished system Of
indentured or contract East Indian
labor. In some countries to which
Indians used to go the indenture sys
tenn, their coming led, as it was bound
to lead in the end, to serious trouble.
They were white communities, which
wanted the labor Of the East Indian
but did not want him as a settler.
1t is claimed that there was and is
no question of that kind in the case
Of the four Crown colonies selected
as areas for the new settlement
scheme. They each possess already
large and prosperous Indian coTnnu-
mites Their industry is tropical and
depends on Asiatic labor, which they
have been accustomed to obtain from
India without any sense of grievance
on either side
Laborers who enlist under the new
plan will serve probationary period
of three years employment in their
new homeland, before being invited
to become landholders. During this
probationary period of employment
under government, supervision, they
will be trained and fitted for the new
conditions of life, at the same t.me
affording the colony the benefit of
their labor.
On first arrival the Immigrant will
undertake work for period of six
months under selected employers. He
will then be free to move from one
employer to another at a months no.

the ensuing two and half years in
agricultural industries by the offer Of
numerous benefits subsequently as a
colonist. At no time will he be un-
der any indenture Of contract, the re-
lation between him and his employer
being exactly the same as that pre-
vailing in the colony between any en-
ployer and employee.
For the protection of the immi-
grants. the government will decide
who may or may not employ them.

As soon as the worker has complet-
ed three years employment he will
have the choice of returning to India

he chooses the latter land will be put
at his disposal by the colonial govern
ment.
The emigration from India of whole
families will be encouraged as far as
possible, particularly of families con-
tanning young unmarried girls who
may become in the colonies the wives

STA the cost has been from three to

that Russia, in this crisis in its his

Athens Uses Tank
of Ben Franklin's
To Fight It's Fires

Athens, Sept. 25.-There was fire
on the main street of Athens the 9TH
er day which permitted one to see
the Athenian fire department in full
action. First came huge tank of
water drawn by horses. There is no
water from fire hydrants. for water
is very scarce and people are not per-
mitted to take baths. So the fire de-
partment brings the tank of water
to each fire, and the fire is held down
as long as the tank holds out Back
of the tank comes one of the vener-
able hand pumping devices which
BENJAMIN Franklin introduced when
he started the volunteer fire organ
izations in America. Still the Athen-
ian fire department has a good rec
ord, mainly because Athens is built
of STONE and cannot burn.
The day after the fire the huge
tank was seen on the same street lay
ing the dust. and it was explained
that the fire department was also the

ANERICAN ENGINEERs
rhe recent commfss,on OF Ar

The recent commfssfon OF Ameri-
can railway men which went to RUS
aia in order to re-establish service on
the Russian railroads recalls to mind
the fact that It was sixty-seven years
ago today, Sept. rs, 1850, that the
first Russian railroad was first for
mally opened. American engineers
were In charge of the construction of
this first short line which was the be-
ginning Of the network OF steel which
now covers Russia and extends east
ward through Siberia to the Pacific
ocean. Russia has nearly fortythous-
and miles OF railways in Europe. This
Is about the same mileage as possess
ed by Germany. but the transporta-
ton lines Of Russia serve popula-
lon and area vastly larger than that
OF the Kaiser's empire. Moreover,
most of the Russian lines have only
single track and cannot be compar-
ed In efficiency with the railway sys-
tenn constructed by Germany where
military ends were always plainly In
view. The inadequacy OF the Russian
system has never been shown more
clearly than in the past few months
since which time, 1t has broken dowr

From Its inception In 1850 railroad
