The War >pu.t of Our FARMERS.


The spirit of American farmers is truly
interpreted by Secretary Houston, of the National
Department of Agriculture, when he says, in ex-
pressing confidence that they will periodically
continue to assume and to bear their full share
of the countrys burden:
They will not submit to Germany's die
tation They will not permit her to impose
illegal restrictions their privilege of send
ing their products into the open markets of
the world AS the meaning of this struggle
is more fully revealed. it becomes increas-
ingIy clear that contest is again being
waged to determine whether the world shall
be dominated by the will and policies of
medieval despotsms or by those of free and
enlightened modern states, and whether the
mere right of might or the rule of law shall
prevail in the world, and as it becomes more
obvious that the surest way to force right
eous peace is to employ effectively all the
resources of the nation, the farmers will in
creasingIy put forth their strength, send their
sons to fight at the front, and to it that
neither this nation nor those with which we
are associated lack anything in the way of
materials for food and clothing"
To no part of the country does this apply more
truly than to Georgia and the South Politicians
and intriguing agents of the Kaiser who sought
to mislead the farmers of this Anglo-Saxon region
have found to their that treason has no
roots in this soil and turncoats no place In this
sun. Self-interest alone would have taught our
farmers to stand by their flag in war to save
American fields and fresides from German bar
barity The simplest sense of business prudence
would have sufficed to teach them that the worst
thing which could befall their affairs would be the
world domination of a band of militarists whose
ruling impulse is to pfllage and kill. But aside
from sef-interest, the farmers of this country
are patriots as their fathers before them,
back to the days of the Colonial revolution
wholehearted patriots who will do their utmost
with plowshare and, if need be- with sword to
press their nations cause to victory.

TattnuH County's Wise Work.

The TattnalI Journal notes that the county
whose it bears and honors expects to be free
from cattle tick within two years at most and per-
haps in less time" What this will mean to live
stock and agricultural interests may be gathered
from the fact that a result of the tick the
countys cattle owners losing not less than one
hundred and ninety-fve thousand dollars year.
The cost of Graduating this destructive pest will
be about five thousand dollars. The same proper
ton will hold in most other tick-infested areas, a
comparatively small expenditure saving tens and
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cattle
and clearing the way for the rapid development
of breeding and dairying industries.
But progress on those lines is impossible as
long as the tick is present. 1t is a matter of
record that the South has made greater strides in
cattle raising in the last five years than in the
preceding half century, and it has done chiefly
by virtue of its earnest and successful campaign to
extirpate the cattle tick. In the Tattnal county
plan, half the requisite fund will be supplied by
the public treasury and half by the cattle owners.
There is no more substantial purpose to which
county funds can be applied nor to which indi-
vidual farmers can contribute. Every province of
Georgia's material prosperity is concerned in this
matter and in way another every field of
business interest benefits from work like that
which Tattnall county is vigorously undertaking.
The cattle raising and dairying industries with
their immense potentialities for wealth-producton
have a magnificent future in this State, and
freed from handcaps, they will go forward with
giant strides.

The Power of the Pig.

OIL COMPANY
Is BUSY THESE DAYS
SECURING OIL LEASES

The Julesburg Oil Company has
been losing no time the past week in
securing leases, and we are informed
that quite . large number of acres
nave been secured. A large block of
land has been leased west and east
of Julesburg, and if those in charge
meet with continued success, q test
well will be put down within the next
thirty days. 1t seems that some have
1een = little skeptical Of the PROPOSE
tion. but this is being gradually ov-
ercOme.
II test well is put down in this
locality. and from all indications, it
is most probable that this will hap
pen, there are q number here who
are very optimistic over the results
to be obtained. Mr.. Patterson, the
oil expert says, that he has great
faith in the possibilities of this sec
tion pertaining to the finding of oil
in commercial quantities. If this be
true, grea. development is bound
to result.
We are Uniformed that a well rig
has already been secured to be used
for the test well to be put down in
this locality, and arrangements are
now being made for the securing of
the necessary capital to launch the
enterprise.

sponss to the appeal Of President
Wilson for . united nationwide ef
fort to increase the production of a.
foodstuffs. The world is facing the
most serious menace of the modern
times, rs expressed in President VIII
sons proclamation when he said
The worlds food reserves are low
Not only during the present emer-
gency but for some time after peace
shall have come both our own peo-
pie and 4 large proportion Of the
people Of Europe mustrely on the
hArvests of America. The time is
short. 1t is of the most imperative
importance that everything possibl-
be done and done Immediately to
make sure of the large harvests.
The promote the organization of
county societies the war council has
named q subcommittee on organiza-
tion, headed by C. A. Kendrick, with
W. E. Collett as secretary. The 9th
er members are J. A. Valentine,
George Z. Collision and John NJ.
Steele. The bureaus of the Denver
Civic and Commercial association are
rendering effective service in con-
nection with the movement.
A direct appeal is being made to
bankers, merchants, business men
and all other patriotic citizens in the
state to cooperate in the formation
of q complete organization, both To-
cal and county, for the purpose of
getting immediate action in the pro-
ductiOn of additional food crops for
the ensuing season. 1t is proposed
that an organization be had Of the
farmers and business men in each
community, and that in each county
seat a central committee be selected,
composed of bankers, merchants and
business men, including the county
commissioners; this central commit
tee to encourage and assist in the
organization of local bodies in every
school district. Plans have been out
lined by the central organization
committee for a complete organiza-
tion in every county in the state, and
this committee is ready to cooperate
with any and every county in per-
fecting thorough and complete organ
inzation thus promoting the general
policy so insistently urged by Pres
ident Wilson and universally recog-
nized as imperative for the immedi-
ate and future welfare of the coun-
try.

A few weeks ago we published an
article regarding an Agricultural
Agent for Sedgwick county, and we
have heard considerable favorable
comment. The matter was taken up
by the business men of this city last
week at the MONDAY luncheon, and
the chairman was authorized to APP
point a committee to have charge Of
the preliminary work of seeing what
could be done along this line.
1t seems to us that County Agri-
cultural Agent would be one of this
county's best investments, and that a
great benefit would be derived there
from. 1t is coming to point where
the citizens of this county should
make the best of all its opportunities
and we believe there is no doubt but
what County Agricultural Agent
would be big asset.
We should all be interested in see
ing conditions bettered in an agricul-
tural way-our farmers will benefit,
and likewise all the citizens of Sedg-
wick county We believe an Agricul-
tural Agent in this county would be
the means of taking advantage of an
opportunity that we have so far ov-
erlooked. AS matter of investment
for the county-what better could be
fade? Other counties near US are US
ing the services of an agricultural eX-
pert and are receiving most beneficial
results from his services-why can't
Sedgwick county do the same?
Let's give the matter some real
serious thought. We would like to
hear from number more of the cit
liens of the county in regard to their
opinion in the matter This is mat
ter we should treat in common look
ing forward to mutual benefit.

United States, the Turin correspondent
Of the "Corriere della Sera," in an in
tcrview with Deputy Augusta Ciufelli,
one Of the members of the mission,
which has recently returned TO Italy,
obtained the following statement;
"The charge intrusted TO US was

was to bring the greetings Of the King
and people Of Italy to the President,
government and people Of the United
States; TO knit friendly relations be-
tween the two countries; TO strengthen
the moral ties between our numerous
emigrants-o whom in New York alone
there are 6OO,OOO-and the mother
country; TO make better known the
aims, the Importance and the diff
culties Of our war, and TO discuss with

of continuing our common war with the
means at his disposal.

at is true Of the United States that
they do not act quickly, that they
postpone till tomorrow what ought 10
be done to-day. that they do not act
upon warning, but wait until the re-
cessity becomes urgent, that they en-
ploy lenient means ct first, and, later
sometimes too late, are compelled TO
adopt radical ones. But my knowledge
Of the United States makes me conn-
dent that in a brief time tho poWertui
machine will be operating too otis ful!

The United States is preparing now
as if the war were just beginning and
we're 10 last many years. They want
20 compel Germany 10 obey civil and
human laws and 10 respect the exist
ence and the rights Of peoples. This
is to-day their 'credp,' and they Will

complished. They are preparing and
will continue TO do so as If they alone
were fighting the Germans, as # they
alone were to bear the entire burden
of the war. They want 70 be able 70
