The All-Star Argument
As for selecting all-star teams. there is
this to be said Any number who would

PRODUCTION Of livestock in regions
where grain farming had been ex-
clusively or largely prticticed, and in
all sections of the northwest have
done much toward the standardiza-
ton of breeds. One saving they have
is the exchange Of sires by different
communities. This has, to large ex-
tent. displaced the OLD plan Of selling
fine animals for beef after several
years of service to prevent inbreed-
ing. Many head of livestock also have
been saved through the advice given
by the agents to the owners OF dis
eased animals and though the direct
treatment OF the animals by the
agents. Five hundred and eighty-fo
cattle were vacclnated against black
leg by the county agents and two
thousand three hundred and eighty
hogs were injected with hog cholera
serum.
The county agents work has had
big influence on farming wherever in
troduced. In North Dakota, it has done
much toward starting diversification
and improving livestock, through
demonstrations, farmers clubs, short
courses, boys schools and encamp-
ments, livestock breeding circuits,
milk testing associations and through
the personal visits.
The county agent has also helped
make life in the country more salts
flying through interesting the young
people in wholesome rural activities
and through the creation of a genuine
community spirit of self-help, self
and self-assertion.

COUNTY AGENTS WORK

County agent work was started in
the northwestern states in 1911 by
the United States department of agri-
culture, the state agricultural colleges
and county agencies in corporation.
The movement started from a realiza-
ton that improved methods of farm
ing can be brought to the attention
Of the farmer mores effectively by per-
sonal contact and demonstration than
in any other way. In 1911 there were
five county agents operating in the
northern and western states, but by
1916, the number had grown to 419,
twenty-five Of which were in North
Dakota. ~
The work of the county agents
varies with the needs of their COM
munities, but in general is addressed
to the improvement of agricultural
methods, practises and conditions,
talks and publications and through
calling attention to good methods al
ready practised by the best farmers
Of the community, The needs Of the
county usually are discussed by the
agents with state extension work
leaders, county officials and leading
farmers, and a project program adopt
ed. Farmers. are then found who are
willing to cooperate in the demon
stration Of certain improved methods
and, when results OF the demonstra-
ton are apparent, field meetings are
held in order that the farmers may
see the results and determine their
value. The agent also assists the
farmers to organize cooperative as
sociations; conducts short courses in
agriculture; holds meetings, often IL
Illustrated by lantern slides of local
agricultural subjects; writes timely
agricultural articles which are pub.
lished in the local county press; and
carries on other similar activities.
In North Dakota, the activities of
the county agents have been along
many lines. The following summary

COAST DEFENSE
SUBMARINES
lRy Associated Press.l

Washington, Jan, 11.-Contracts for
the construction of three coast defense
submarines awarded to the California
Ship Building Co., Long Beach, CAL,
were cancelled by the navy department
at the company's request, and promptly
were taken over, two by the Electric
Boat Co., of New London, Conn.,. and
one by the Lake Torpedo Boat Co..
Bridgeport, Conn.
OF the twenty-seven coast defense
submersibles authorized by the last
congress, this final apportionment gives
twenty to the Electric and seven to the
Lake company.
The California concern originally bid
for the construction OF fve or six sub
marines of the coast defense type, but
the department decided not to award II
more than three, that being regarded
as the capacity limit of the plant for
completed work in the time specified.
The contracts for these had not been
signed when the request reached the
department that the award be Cancelled.

IS STEAM YACHT
AN UNNEUTRAL?
INV Assooiated Press.l

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Jan. 1.-THE steam yacht
Alvina, which was held up at Quaran-
tine by naval tugs on neutrality duty
after she had cleared and sailed for
Liverpool, will be detained here until
the question of her ownership has been
established by federal authorities.
According to representatives of the
shipping firm by which the Alvira was
cleared, the yacht has not changed
owners, but Is sttll the property OF
Thomas +. Cole. of Duluth, Mimi, and
has been ordered to Liverpool to await
the arrival there of her owner. =
Government officials connected with
the custom and neutrality departments
refused to discuss the Alvina or the
reason for her detention. 1t has been
reported, however, that sale of the
yacht has been negotiated but will not
be closed until the vessel arrives in
Liverpool. The Russian government
has been named as the purchaser. 1t
probably will be- several days before
the present ownership of the yacht is
established.
