Get a County Agent

Scott county, Iowa, expended $1,000 d
year for four years, or a total of $4,000,
for a county agent. AS a result the value
|of the county was enhanced nearly
$1,5O0,000,
This isn't a rough estimate nor guess
work. Farmers joined with business men
and formed a county Improvement league,
This Organization secured the services OF
the county agent. President A.. +. Dawson
of the First National bank of Davenport,
Iowa. recorded the net cash value Of the
county agents work on six ~items-alfalfa,
treating oats, corn. silos, hogs saved, and
Spraying. Al close and accurate record was
kept. The $4,000 investment brought a
return ON these six items Of $1,43S,47O.
One agent in Iowa made neariyNa million
and a half for the farmers In four years
On a relative basis county agents in New
Mexico are making a showing almost as
startling. The county agent plan is recon-
mended by hard-headed bankers like the
Davenport man, by business men and pro-
gressive farmers as a big dividend-producer.

she was much wrought up over IT. She never
could do ft-no--there was no drawing out.

RICHMOND PLANTS
OFFER SERVICE TO D. 5.
Many Plants Ready to Give Entire
Time to Government
Work.

According to the survey made by
national council OF defense, there are
q bout l25 industrial plants in Rich
tories equipment and output to the
United states government for the pro-
duction of war materials during the
struggle with Germany.
That such II large number of big
Richmond plants have patrioticaily
volunteered their resources Tor the
benefit of the government is source
of pride and satisfaction to the city.
In this war, more than ever in the
past. it is possible for persons unfit
for service on the battle line to rem
der magnificent services TO the army
and navy in the factory.
This census of Richmond plants
willing to undertake government work
was taken several months ago
by f. r d. Myers, Jr At that time
the United States was not at war. and
many plants may not have volun-
teered because it was not considered
imperative Today the situation is
altered: only the blind consider that
this war with Germany Is to be a
pillow fight. Intelligent observers tell
rs that Nit will be war in which all
the resources of the country must be
plunged at once if we are to emerge
victorious and free.
The chamber of commerce. there
fore, wants to urge the patriotic duty
OF every Richmond manufacturer to
offer his plant at once to the govern
ment. He can do so by communieat-
ing with T.. T. d. Myers, Jr. Remem-
hering Richmond's glorious history
and her share in the great wars OF
the past, it is easy to believe that
every. ounce of our resources and
strength will he thrown into the fray
in unselfish spirit.
Mr. Myers reports that Virginia, as
state, has $50 plants that have beer
offered for government work during
the war.
Many Richmond plants, because OF
foreign contracts since the outbreak
OF the war in 1914, are fitted to begin
work instantly farming out munitions

SUBSTITUTES FOR TIN CANS URGED
FOR PRESENT EMERGENCY.

The serious shortage in the supply
of tin cans for the coming packing
season is arousng the interest of the
country and has called for considera-
ton on the part of the department OF
commerce at Washington. Coupled
with unusual demands for tin during
the last two or three years. there has
been difficulty in getting supplies from
previous sources. Practically all the
worlds supply of tin ia mined in the
Straits Settlements and Bolivia. For
many years European firms have han
died the output of both countries and
have sold the refined product to tim
plate manufacturers in Europe and
the United States. Although smeit
ing plant has been erected in New
Jersey ore for the operation of which
lis now brought here direct from Ro-
liva. the manufacturers of tin><cans
are confronted with a demand greater
by 40 per cent than the probable sup
ply according to An announcement

The department of commerce has is-
sued bulletin suggesting the con-
servation of the tin-plate supply. and
to that end is pointing out the neces-
sity for using substitutes for tin con-
tainers, SO that the tin cans may be
diverted as largely as possible to the
use of packers of perishable foods.
Manufacturers are urged as a patriotic
duty to use substitutes for tin wher-
ever II Is feasible to do so. 1t is sug-
gested that in packing tobacco. coffee,
tea, spices. baking powder, soap pow
der, white lead. powdered paint, syrup,
cocoa. cheese, lard, butter and peanut
butter etc. substitutes for tin be free
ly used. in view of the present emer-
gency.
The department OF commerce offers
to cooperate with the manufacturers
in suggesting to ipquirers such sub
stitutes as may be regarded as prac-
ticable now and until at least the
present shortage in tin plate and tin
cans has been overcome.
