BY II. o. BAUsAIAN
New Castle County Agent.

Enough members have been secured
that the reorganization OF the Diamond
state Cow Testing Association is as
sured. Negotiations are now being
carried on with a competent man from
the middle west. with the approval OF
the association. to do the testing and
keep the records. 10 is the desire OF
the association that the work begin at
an early date.
10 is TO be regretted that every far
mer who has ten or more COWS Is
not a member Of a COW testing associ.
alton. Due to the high price OF feed
and labor It is more important this
year than ever before that the dairy
herd be entered In the testing associ-
alton. A good COW viii make az good
q profit as she ever did but poor one
Will loose far more money. A poor
COW is worse than no cow. Occaslon-
ally farmer states that he can tll
his poor COWS. Obviously he has an
idea but TO actually know Is another
thing. When the performances Of the
various COWS in the herd are consider
ed, that some Of them start in with a
heavy flow but drop Off in a few
months. that others start of with only
fair flow. but continue It throughout

the year. and to know the cost Of the
feed that the various COWS have con-
sumed; l say TO have all these facts
in mind for each cow at the end Of
the year with any degree Of accuracy
where no records have been kept is a
thing which the best dairymen Of the
country have found to be impossible.
Some Of the farmers OF the county
have been Informed that only the well
bred herds should be entered in the
testing association. This is far from
true. In fact, the purpose Of the as
ISOLATION Is to take the very ordinary
herd, test each cow and at the end Of
the year weed out those that have
shown themselves to be Improbable
We then advise raising the heifer
calves from the best COWS and we
have found that after the farmer finds
that the production Of his herd IS in
creasing, he Is generally in favor OF
buying a better bull.
The county agent is simply assisting
the COW testing association to reor-
ganize. II you are interested, write

CLEVELAND. O.. Nov. i5.-"There IS
not going 10 be a railroad strike-dont
even imagine It for a minute"
With that statement w. G. Lee. presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood Of Railway
Trainmen, which is voting on a de-
mand for increased wages, registered
yesterday his faith in President VIII
sons policy.
Lee was asked whether he thought
The Presidents policy led TO a govern
ment dictatorship over the railroads.
Il wouldn't want TO gamble that it
doesn't" he replied.
Lee again asserted that the trainmen
are entitled 20 "a fun stomach He
intlmaled the trainmen will firmly de-
mand higher wages. He said "and you
know as well as ! that the. railroads
won't grant them without-increosed
revenues"
This led 10 the inference that Lee
expects the deadlock which President
Wilson spoke OF in his letter TO the
chairman Of the United States Board
OF Mediation and Cancellation when
be questioned the possibility Of being
obliged 10 take unusual measures to
operate the railroads"
Lee nailed as q pipe dream the
suggestion that the President might
draft the railway employees and force
them to work at army wages

about that" he said. but would not
state what assurance. II any, the presl-
dent gave.
There is no law for such action"
said Lee. "The governments policy
trend has been 90 raise existing wages
Of necessary employees when the gov
ernmont asks their unstlnted co-opera-
Hon TO win the war;"
Lee pointed to England's railroad
dictatorship sanctioned by both the
railroads and employees which meant
bigger profits and higher wages.

triotlsm Of the railway trainmen." de-

FILLING A REAL NEED.

Whenever a real need exists, sooner

A real need existed for something 10
fill with wholesome activity the spare
time of bOys-and the Boy Scout
movement developed to meet it. This
organization which has spread so
amazingly during the last few years,
has many claims TO consider, but none
are 50 fundamental as this basic prin-
ciple of keeping the boys 50 busy do
ing useful things that there will be no
time for them to engage in harmful
activities.
The thing about the BOY Scout move
ment that has surprised many people
is the fact that it works. People had
become accustomed to consider boys
as being naturally mischevous and de-
struCtivp, to look upon the period or
adolescence as time Of tribulatiOn,
like the tcething age of babies, which
must be borne with patience and resig-
nation. "What!" they exclaimed,

II Just can't be done" Then the Boy
