Missouri Plan Best for War Time
Production.

Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture; has commended the or
ganization plan adopted by the
Missouri College of Agriculture for
war crop production. Mr.. Vrooman
said recently, after he had visited a
number of States, that the plan was
the best that had come to his atten-
ton.
The Missouri College was the first
institution in the country to outline
plan and put it into operation. Fol-
lowing the meeting which was held
recently in each school district in the
State, county and community organ
ization will be effected. Where there
are no farmers clubs or organiza-
tons existing, organizations will be
formed. These will carry out the
production campaign in cooperation
with the County Farm Bureau and
the. College of Agriculture.
The produce exchange lists are be-
ing mailed out of this office this week.
This produce exchange lists every
thing and anything the farmers have
to sell or want to buy. 1t is free to
every member of the Farm Bureau
and is prepared and mailed out by the
County Agent on the first of each
month. 1t is mailed out only to Farm
Bureau members, which includes about
a hundred farmers in the cunty. 1t
costs only dollar year to become
member of the Farm Bureau. Make
for membership by letter
or personal call to the Secretary Of
the Farm Bureau, Pennington, Mo.

Missouri Farmers Support Prelim-
mary Organization.


First reports following the school
district rallies which were held in
Missouri for preliminary war crop pro-
duction indicate that the farmers are
supporting the plan.
The College of Agriculture received
reports from more than 700 districts
in the first mail. Seventy-three coun-
ties were represented in this first in
stallment. st. Charles county led at
that time with reports from thirty
eight school districts. The agent in
st. Charles county aided materially in
the preliminary organization cam
paign. A heavy thunder storm cover
ed number of counties on the night
when the meetings were called and
some districts did not have a large
attendance. These districts will hold
another rally before the date for the
county meeting.
We are glad to know that st. Fran
co.'s county is included in these 70
counties that responded to the call.
While we regret that we failed to head
the list instead of st. Charles county,
yet more than half of the districts in
this county held rally meetings. One
reason why more reports were not
sent to the College was the failure
of some of our district school clerks
to receive their instructions which
were sent out by the college. The
meeting was well advertised by a.
poster sent out over the county by the
County Agent and the meeting was
called by the clerk, but due to the fact
that the clerk failed to receive his in
structions the meeting was not re-
ported to the college.
1t is to be deeply regretted, how
ever, that some school clerks, who re-
ceived their instructions, threw them
in the junk heap and never called the !
meeting. This is especially true of
some of the larger towns of the county
where there should have been the big
gest rally meetings. There was
good meeting at Bismarck which in !
cluded the Bismarck district and all !!
of the districts Immediately sur
In addition to carrying |
out the regular work outlined for the
they took a sort of survey of
their present food situation and re- !
ported the estimated increase this
year in the acreage of different crops.
Desloge held splendid rally meet
ing which was protracted and re-
sumed on Wednesday night with an
attendance of 20 persons.
The Unity people had combined
with Copenhagen and indie
pendence districts.
Good meetings were held at Lib
ertyville, French Village and DeLas-
sus. But apparently no meetings
we're held in Pennington, Bonnie Terre,
Flat River and Leadwood.
The result of this organization
will, in very short time,
bring our farmers into closer coop
grafton and will bring about a COM
olete organization of the entire coun-
y. This undoubtedly will be worth a
great deal to the farming interest of
he county, not only in meeting the
present war emergency, but will be
aging good foundation for better
arming for all time to come.

Reception to Pastor Edwards

The official board and congregation
of the Wildwood Methodist Episcopal
church rendered a reception to DR.. J..
G.. Edwards on Wednesday evening,
April %, 1917, in honor of his return
by the New Jersey Conference TO serve
the church for the fourth year. The
reception was held in the church after
the prayer meeting. There was about
125 persons present and it was said TO
be the best attended reception ever
given to a pastor here. A pleasing
musical program was carried out, after
which ice cream and cake were served.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers was
presented to DIR. Edwards by Station
Agent j. f. James, secretary of the
board of trustees. Mr.. Edwards made
a happy response, holding the bouquet
all the while. The exercises of the eve
ming were in charge of Rev. Samuel
Roberts and a corps of faithful lady
assistants. The program of music was
as follows:
Mandolin selection by Mr.. and Mrs.
John E. BouVier and daughter, accom-
panied by Miss Emily Jackson on the
piano; piano solo, Mrs. Olive Elliott;
vocal solo, Horace Burke; song by Red
Mems quartette, Harry Hill, William
Smith, Lewis Harrison and w. M.
Beers; solo, Rev. I. H. Fisher, pastor
of the Baptist church.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles K. Gibbs spent
a week with his brother here. They
are accom- panied by their daughter,
Miss Minerva Gibbs, a government
nurse from Panama, who is on a six
weeks vacation.
MI. and Mrs. j. M. Sailor, of West
VILE. and Miss M. E. Smith, of Phila-
delphia, visited at the Gibbs home this
week.
The postponed gun shoot of the
Wildwood Gun club was held on Sat-
urday last. President Voorhees,, Sec
rotary James Harris and Treasurer
Pew bad the event in charge, and after
a substantial lunch of clam-cho WIDER
the shooters went to the traps and
spent three hours smashing clay pig
cons. There was probably $50 friends
andsgunners down, including a bevy
of charming ladies who accompanied
Mrs. Voorhees, from Camden. An eff
fortt is being made to arrange for a
-hoot every Saturday afternoon during
he season.
The garden fever has taken a hold of
this beach and there are plots of ground
being gardened this year that hereto
fore have never been acquainted with
a hoe or a plow.
Last Saturday and Sunday were what
might be termed perfect days. The
warmth brought out the buds and
flowers and while the beaches are a little
backward as compared with the MAIN
land, the verdure is coming along.
The fishermen are beginning to bring
in Spanish mackerel and q few weak
fish and it is a sight too, for fish have
been fearfully scarce all winter; even
cod fish have been few and far be-
tween. Spanish mackerel have been
bringing 81 a piece on the wharf and
weakish have been bringing Is to 25c
per pound. OF course this is the first
of the season and the price will drop
as the supply comes in. 1t is expected
that Anglesea will only have about
half the boats that it formerly had, as
many of our best craft have been taken
over by the government for coast re-
serve and are already doing duty.
The Wildwood Yacht club will hold
q meeting on the Both of April for nom-
mating officers, the same to be elected
at the annual meeting to be held on
Memorial Day.
The Ottens bungalow proposition is
going a head night and day without
any let up. While the carpenters ale
busy during the day building the
houses, Mr.. Ottens' statesmen are busy
both night and day getting in touch
with those wishing to profit by the
unusual proposition of getting a war
time bungalow at a low figure. Mr..
Ottens says he is building on an average
of ak bungalows a week in the North
Wildwood section, and now that he
has been SO fortunate as to obtain seven
carloads of lumber, he has sufficient to
complete twenty more of these desir-
able summer homes; the hardship now
is to obtain window sash and on Mayor
Smiths statement he is to receive a
carload of sash sur this week, which
has been holding up at least ten
houses. Plans are being made for what
will be called Bungalow Day sometime
in the near future. 1t is planned to
gather all the recent bungalow owners
for a good time.

PHILIPPINES
SUGAR TRADE
SHOWSLOSS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Figures OF
Philippine trade for the year ending
June 80, 1917, given out by the Bu-
reau of Insular Affairs, show an in
crease of 100000 in imports and
$10,000,0G0 in exports over the totals
of the year preceding. Imports
amounted to $51,9S3,277> and exports
to $71,715,375 OF the imports SO per
cent came from the United States and
so per cent of the exports were
destined for this country. In the pre-.
vious year the United States took only
Al per cent Of the Islands exports.
Sugar is the only article among the
leading exports of the islands which
does not show gain for the year.
Both in quantity and value the sugar
trade recorded a material decrease
from the figures of 1856. The total
shipments amounted to 262,425 tons,
of which 110,540 tons came, to the
United States. "."
Lack of adequate shipping facilities
and high freight rates from the Isl
ands to American ports are held re-
sponsible for the falling off in sugar
exports to this country, as the crop
was large this year and 1t is known
that there are large stocks of sugar
now held in the Islands. Political dis
turbances and Japanese competition,
IL is explained, have prevented Philip
pine sugar from finding its customary
market in China. =.

HOUSE PASSES BILL
FOR SUSPENSION OF
COGSTWlSE MEASURE

What is taken as further indica
ton that Honolulu is shortly to be
deprived of its big passenger-carryins
vessels under American registry is
the cabled report received from
Washington last night that the house
had passed the bill providing for the
suspension of the coastwise shipping
law. 1t is argued that with all the
American vessels badly needed for
transport and hospital service, the
administration is already making
plans for the continuance of the
shipping in the Pacific by Japanese
and Dutch steamers, as would be pos
sible after the coastwise shipping act
was suspended This was predicted
by Honolulu shipping men yesterday.
According to the cable from Wash
ington there was no division OF the
house when the vote was taken on
the suspension measure.
