known in his community as "Reisner
the Unafraid," and breaches every
Sunday to one Of the largest audiences
in Manhattan, was verv emphatic IN
his summary Of this case. God IS
not dead" continued Dr. Reisner, his
promises are true, and a sincere and
unselfsh proclaimer of truth Will draw
financial aid from unexpected sources
and will surely be fed.
"As a rule, ministers who run into
officials Of the church and charge that
they are curbed. crippled and mouth
closed by these officials are fanatical,

Does the County Agent Paye

In answer TO the question does the
county agent pay?H A. r. Dawson,
president OF the Scott County, Iowa,
Farm bureau. replies:
IF any county in the United States
were TO expend $4,000 a year for four
years, or a total OF $12, 1000, and in re-
turn for this expenditure were to
enhance the value of the county near
~ $1.50O,000 would you regard the in
vestment as a good one and the eff
fort put into the work worth while !?
Something oyer four years ago,
a number of progressive farmers of
Scott county, Iowa, Joined with the
business men, forming the Scott
County Farm Improvement league,
which engaged the services Of q. r.
Bliss as county agent. It is not an
easy matter to measure in dollars
and cents the net value of crops in
creased and animals saved as the re-
suit Of this organized work, but there
have been six items in the program
pursued in, this county, with regard
to which the record could be kept,
and the accompanying table shows
the extent to which the farmers of
this county have been enriched by
reason of organized effort with the
county at its head. The six items

SUMMER HINTS FOR THE HOME GARDENER
Makes Yield Quality.

Washington, d. C.-Do not allow
garden vegetables to crowd each other
in drills or rows. This is bit of
timely cultural advice offered to home
gardeners by specialists Of the United
States department Of agriculture. Un-
less each plant has adequate room for
development and a chance to receive
all the sunlight, air, moisture and
plant food which it needs, the spec
ialists point out, 1t will be stunted
and it's contribution to the food sup
ply of the family therefore will be
low in quantity and inferior. in quail
lty. -ss ..ss
1t is well enough to plant seed more
thickly than the plants should grow,
to allow for. faulty termination and
losses. tits explained, but the mistake
OF allowing the crops to grow as
thickly as they come up must not be
made. A good time to thin out sur
plus plants is a few weeks after the
plants have come up, when they have
become large enough to show which
are most thrifty, and before they have
begun to crowd seriously. Wherever
possible, the thriftiest plants should
be left.
In thinning lettuce and ibeets, some
of the best rooted plants may be set
out to fill up any spaces which may
have occurred in the drills. Lettuce
also may be permitted to grow fairly
large before thinning. and the surplus
plants eaten. The plants should be
from to 8 inches apart at the first
thinning, and before the plants crowd
a second thinning should be made
which will leave the plants from 6

81 per cent of. the seed was gathered
early. Last year the percentage was
81. The gain in oats is the result Of
similar activity for the treatment of
seed for smut. Before the county
agent came, only five per cent of the
seed oats were thus treated: last year
~ per cent were treated. The figures
on silos are based on an estimated
profit of $500 a silo.
Before the organization was form
ed, there was only one farmer in the
county who believed in the serum
treatment to prevent hog cholera
The league conducted demonstrations
(which proved it's efficiency beyond
question. As a result IL $40 hogs were
treated in 1913, of which 14,2s4 or 50
per cent, were saved. The value Of
the animals thus saved is conserva-
lively figured at SO per head.
"And back of the county agent has
been an organization which has en-
gagged him to buy $500 worth Of
serum, and sell it to the farmers at
cost: to market carload Of Scott
county clover seed to advantage; to
conduct a most useful farm tour; to
secure an extensive state soil station

THE LITERARY TEST EvApED
The Next Thing to Do IL to Repeal II
as a 6lunder.

The literary test for immigrants
went into effect on May /. The United
States was then at war. The labor
market was bare. From every farm In
the nation there came, as for months
there had come, appeals for men. Yet
the Congress, overriding the, Presi-
dent raised a bar to exclude workers
from land, thus Gripping agriculture
and upholding the hands OF our en-
emies.
In three weeks the consequences Of
this act became apparent Farm Ia

the storehouses of our allies with food,
were turned back at the border. They
were wanted here; they wanted to
come here; but the nited States ex-
cluded them because they could not

The department OF labor has found
means to evade the law for the present.
1t has construed the paragraph con-
ferring on 1t power to issue rules and
prescribe conditions, including exaction
of such bonds as may necessary, to con-
troll and regulate the admission and
return of otherwise inadmissible aliens
applying for temporary admission" as
authority to suspend the literacy test,
the contract labor clause and the head
tax provision. Mexican farm laborers
will be allowed to cross the boundary,
pledged to engage in no other calling
and obligated to return TO their coun-
try. .
This arrangement is not satisfac-
tory It viii lead to misunderstood
ings and to bad feeling. Its sole vir-
tue is that IL permits US for time to
use labor we need despite the enact
ment OF congress. But from IL con-
gress may learn a lesson, and IL the
lawmakers who fouted reason will
heed experience they may be brought
to repeal an Ubiquitous. undemocratic

DENY GERMAN CHANCELLOR
has ANY FRENCH BLOOD
Admit, However, That Won 5sthnann-
HoIIWeg May Hove Come From
Bordeaux Family.
(By Associated Press. }


Bordeaux, June 23.-Dr. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, the German chancellor,
was recently declared by a paper In
Paris to be Of French origin, descend
ing from the Bordeaux family. The pos
sibility that the chancellor descended
from family that once existed in
Bordeaux is admitted here, but It Is
denied that he has aay French. blood
In his veins.
The Bethmanns who founded the
family that existed in Bordeaux and
Paris came from Frankfort to Bor-
deaux in the eighteenth century, and
were OF Israelite origin, according to
the version prevalent here. The name
is half Hebrew and half German, beth
meaning house in Hebrew and mann
meaning man in German The hy-
phenated name Bethmann- Hollweg. 1t
Is explained, originated in the mar
riage of a sister OF the Bethmann
brothers, who were bankers in Paris
and Bordeaux, to q German named
Hollweg. Hollweg succeeding to a
part of the banking business and con-
sidering the name Of Bethmann of
greater commercial value than his own,
inverted the usual order. and this new
family became the Bethmann- Hollweg
family from which the German chan
cellor may or may not descend.
