ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending April 2.

| w. ]. Tubbs. in charge OF the farm
management work OF the extension serv
ice, has been assisting me in taking farm
analysis records in Randolph the past
week Records were taken on III farms
many OF which have had their record,
taken for the past two years. Nearly
| all OF these had used the farm account
books the past year and so were able tc
give some very accurate records. 1t is
interesting to note the greater accuracy
and interest shown by those who keep
accounts. All commented on the sim.
plcity OF this method of keeping &C.
counts and wanted another book this
coming year.
In returning last years records, we
note that it is the larger farms, the bet
ter cows and the better crops which bring
as a whole the larger labor incomes.
Finding out that you lack in some one
or more of these factors, how can you
improve? The following are given as
suggestions, some OF which may apply
to your farm:
Ways OF increasing size of business:
IN Buy more land. t21s Rent additional
land. t3) Put more of the present acre
age under cultivation. (4l Stock more
heavily with different kinds of livestock.
81 Increase quality of livestock. f6l
Raise more intensive crops for cash crops.
ca Work in woods in winter Isl No
outside work away from the farm
Ways of increasing stock productions:
az Use purehred sires with known good
records behind them. ~ Feed more eco
nomical rations 81 Keep records of in
diyidual animals "a Select from the
best to keep and raise. t5l Use proper
care in handling, with comfortable quar-
ters.
Ways of increasing crop yields: ~
Use a shorter rotation of crops in the
fields. t2) Use better seed either by pur-
chase or selection. 81 Make most eco
nomical use OF farm manures. a. Buy
and use commercial fertilizer economical
ly. t5l Keep more livestock t6l Drain
or otherwise improve fields needing extra
~ Use more thorough TIL
lage. 81 Use best methods of control
of insect pests and fungus diseases.
Never were opportunities for success
full farming as good as they promise to
be for the next few years, but never
did the man who fails to improve his
have as good a chance for
failure. High prices are an aid to the
man who makes good use of his raw ma
terial, but pretty discouraging to the
man who is Indifferent to efficiency meth

UxBRiDGE QUINTET TOOK
TWO GAMES LAST WEEK

Nome Tribune: Wednesday eve
ming the Nome basketball team play
ed against the Uxbridge quint and at
4 to 46 in favor of the visitors. The
Uxbridge team had our boys outclass-
ed from the beginning, and were able
to throw field baskets at will. There
were very few fouls called on either
side. The visitors are complimented
upon the very clean game that they
displayed here. At no time did they
try to pull anything over on the locals,
who did their best all the time and
kept fighting for ground, although
they knew that they were outclassed.
The sport as it was shown at this
game makes one long for more of the
same kind, and all will welcome the
day when the Nome team will be able
to play in the championship class.
Thursday evening Nome probably
witnessed one of the fastest basket
ball games that they will be able to
see again for some time, when Ender-
lin high played against the Uxbridge
team in the high school gymnasium.
At the end Of the game the score stood
Is to 8 in favor of the Uxbridge boys.
From the first to the last blast of Ref
cree l.. M. C. Hansen's whistle it was
hot fight to see who would have con-
troll of the ball, but Uxbridge had the
best of their opponents in foot work
and used their system of passing to
great effect, putting rs points to their
credit, and twice in the last half threw
a basket from the center of the floor.
The Enderlin boys had a tendency to
try to muss it, but their rough work
got them nothing, in the first half only
scoring four points, mostly on fouls,
and in the last half only getting five.

ration Of American independence pro-
claimed that all political connection
between us and the state Of Great
Britain is, and ought to be, totally dis
solved" and year later the congress
adopted the flag of 10 stripes with its
union of 13 stars-a new constellation
to symbolic the birth of new
nation.
During the whole history of America
therefore, our flag has been the flag
of country, not the personal stand
ard of king or of an emperor. 1t is
and it has been, a national flag, not a
personal standard.
The Is stripes sympolized the 13
original colonies. Gen. Washington
said of this flag, when it was display
ed over his camp at Cambridge, 1--WE
hoisted the union flag in compliment
to the united colonies and saluted II
with 13 guns
The national fag-our national
fag-grew in the most direct way GU,
of the banners that had waved over
the colonists. The flag Of the United
Colonies had 10 stripes, one for each
colony, and the stripes were alternate

flag remained unchanged in the new

Several changes were made up to
April, 1918, when congress passed IAN
act to establish the flag Of the United
States," as follows:
| Sec. 1. Be it enacted, ETC., That
; from and after the fourth day of July
next, the flag of the United States be
the 19 horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have &c
stars, white on a blue field.
"Sec. 2. And belt further enacted
That on the admission Of every new
state into the union, one star be add.
ed to the union of the flag; and that
such addition shall take effect on the
4th Of July next succeeding such ad'
mission. Approved April 4, 1875"
The stars have been added, one by
one, until We now have 48 stars.
The garrison flag, 36x2O feet, is the
official flag of all army posts. The
post flag is 2Ox1O feet and the storm

inches. ~
In the opinion of most persons the
flag of the United States is used too
freely, and with too little respect
for advertising purposes, as trade
mark, etc. The more the flag is dis.
played the better, provided that it is
always done in respectful manner.
AS the flag of the United States was
established June IA, 1777, it has been
suggested that the 14th day of June In
every year should hereafter be known
as Flag Day. and that it should be
commemorated by the display of The
