THE FARM AGENT IS A SUCCESS

The demonstration agent has become
fixed institution in my county
Mecklenburg county, n. C. His value
is so generally recognized that We should
as soon think of doing without sheriff
as without him.
What has he done? He has organized
and put ginger into the boys corn and
pig clubs. He has assisted in the es-
tablshment of cream routes. He has
been instrumental in the organization
of n county livestock association. tie
has preached diversification, and
through actual demonstrations has
shown that it pays. He has assisted
individual farmers in planning crops,
pastures, drainage work, in selecting
fertilizers for various crops, in market
ing and in various other ways. He has
boosted the silo to such an extent that
the number of silos in the county has
increased more than 100 per cent in two
years, with prospects for an increase
of so to rs per cent more the coming
season.
1t would be too long story to tell in
detail. Let it be said simply that our
agent has increased the acreage in
grain and grass, has the livestock
movement well under way, has inoculat-
ed hogs for cholera and on one or two
occasions has prevented cholera epi-
denies, has farmers planting crimson
clover and other cover crops who would
have hooted at the. idea few years
ago, is influencing the live boys in the
county to attend the boys short course
at the agricultural college during the
late summer, and is on his job in vari-
GUS other ways.
All Of this means Of course that We
have the right sort Of man for agent. I
realize that some agents are failures
and that some counties are disgusted
and sick Of the agent idea because q q
such failures. Iet these remember,
however, that the fault lies In their "a

FARMERS
CONGRESS, 1917

At Washington, our wise men sit and
make the laws; or gaily fit from desk
to desk, and place to place and smoke
into each others face. They like 10
joke as well as smoke, especially about
the bloke who sows the seed and tills
the land, who works and sweats to beat
the band, that they may live and not
go broke. The farmer raises pigs by
work. The politician plays with pork,
The farmer raises hay and beans, the
other sits upon his jeans and wonders
why in Halifax the farmer grumbles
bout his tax. In Denver sits another
bunch, who seem to think they've got
a hunch that only they can steer the
Ship of State upon its homeward way.
They think prosperity has come, because
they re at the helm, by gum, and but
for them we'd all go smash upon the
rocks of vanished cash. 'Tis trus, we
need these jolly souls to spend the
wealth we pay the tolls, to tell us times
are mighty good, to tell us how to raise
more food, to keep us in cheerful
mood. But what about the bunch that
met at c. A. c.? It's safe to bet the
Ship of State with all sails set, will
keep her silver bottom wet for some
spell yet, when folks like them puff out
the sails and take the helm. Congress
may meet and make the laws; we raise
the stuff to fill their craws; they shout
and spout and chew the rag, while we
raise kale to fill the bag. Let's all
keep step, keep up our pep. find the
best ways our crops to, raise, teach girls
and boys the country's joys, make life
worth while with sunny smile, feed
Uncle Sam with eggs and ham and let
the plutocrats go hang.-W. E. vaplon,

tween the 9Th and 25th of May. When
we dig the crop we have to go deeper
after them than we plowed, so our
ground is broken still deeper and the
seed bed the following year is better
than ever. With this method of rota-
tion, we have secured yields of potatoes
as high as $4,000 pounds to the acre on
experimental plots, and our average IS
betters than 10000 pounds. We expect
to also grow $4,000 to the acre in three
years from now. OF course this system
requires what most farmers would call
extra labor in the way of preparation,
but it is the little details of this kind
that make farming pay in this

THE ROTATION CROPS

One of our town farmers who takes
things pretty easy but is all the time
thinking and scheming for the better
ment of things on his ranch 400 miles
from Denver, has worked out rotation
which he believes is the means of saliva
ton. I'VE have adopted a five-year
rotation" he says, working up to our
money crop, the potato. The rotation
is briefly: First year, alfalfa cross
drilled with wheat, oats or barley. Sec
ond year, alfalfa, two cuttings. Third
year, alfalfa, two cuttings or pastured;
use manure in fall. Fourth year, alfa'-
ia; in fall turn lunder, when eleven tC
sixteen inches high, four inches deep,
laying flat. Fifth year, plow twelve
inches deep; plant potatoes in rows but
three feet apart and hills one foot
apart, one potato in hill.
I've once tried potatoes two years
in succession, but found the yield less
and the quality away down. So we
abandoned the six-year plan and adopt
ed five-year rotation and it has
worked out beautifully. Our yields are
from $4,000 to 10000 pounds to the
acre of excellent potatoes, and we do
not have any trouble with disease. Our
proportion on one hundred acres is
something like thirty acres potatoes,
twenty acres grain and fifty acres al
falfa. We do not sell any alfalfa or
grain, except for seed, but we do feed
it to stock, keeping the valuable ele-
ments on the farm in manures and
stIaws.
Z" A cutting of alfalfa turned under as
we do it is worth twenty tons of barn
yard manure on the land, or approXi-
mately $50 the acre in value to the
land, for it always comes back the next
year in potatoes. In our five-year ro-
tation We first get the best seed posi-
Bile, which requires deep plowing, more
than plenty of disking, narrowing and
leveling, all of which means plenty of
moisture in the ground. We drill grain
in rows north and south, three inches
deep Then cross-drill alfalfa as shall
low as possible. With us, this is about
an inch.
eve use Grimm alfalfa because We
regard it better than any other kind
for our mountain ranch at 1000 feet.
In the early fall or late summer, when
the grain is ready, we cut it as closely
as possible, and the alfalfa comes on to
make a good, strong stand to go into
the winter. The next year the alfalfa
is used for hay only and we do not
pasture the first or second year. The
third year we go into the field in the
spring with spring-tooth harrow and
after the second cutting we put on a
light coating of manure with a spreader.
The operations for the fourth year are
just as outlined, SO that with the alfalfa
turned under in the fall and the ground
plowed twelve. inches deep in the spring,
we get magnificent soil reservoir aud
a perfect seed bed for the spuds, Of
course doing the proper amount Of
disking, narrowing and leveling.
"Then we put in the potatoes be-

BOHEMIANS ASK
LAW Be RETAINED
Oppose Move to Repeal Act
Giving Right to Teach
Foreign Languages.
WILL SEE LEGISLATORS

The Bohemians Of Greater Omaha,
as members of the Bohemian Ma
tional Alliance of America, assembled
Friday at the Tel Jed Sokol hall,
Thirteenth and Martha streets, passed
unanimously a resolution, portesting
strongly against House Roll 29l,
which aims to repeal the Mocket law,
adopted by the legislature four years
ago, providing for the teaching Of
modern languages in grade schools, in
classes above the Fifth grade, under
certain conditions.
This law was held to be constitu-
tional by the supreme court of Me-
braska and under it there were sew
eral classes in the local schools open,
in which the Bohemian language is
being taught. The Bohemians hold.
that the teaching OF foreign languages
did not cause any other regular sub
ject or the English, language to be
neglected. The Bohemians of this
country are determined to have their
children educated in the English
language above all, as the language
of this country, but they feel that the
teaching OF the language of their an
cestors under certain conditions can
only tend to make them advanced in
all other subjects.
1t was reported at the meeting that
1880 had been raised in this section
for the war sufferers.

GRAND JURY MAY

THEY STILL PROBE VICE

Court house rumors question
whether the present grand jury,
which reported last Tuesday and
started its Investigations shortly

limited that unless something unex-

1t is believed that the grand jury
has cleaned up most of its work al
ready and legions Of that clan said to
keep just within the law are sup
posed to be preparing to come up out
of their cyclone cellars.
Hundreds of witnesses have been
examined since Tuesday afternoon,
when the first fateful subpoenaes were
issued to Omahans requesting them to
appear before the secretive sixteen
and cough up what they knew about
this, that and the other thing.
From Soup to Nuts.
1t is understood that the grand jury
in the last few days probed into
everything from soup to nuts. Rumors
of Investigations of the sale of Gig
arets and of vice threw life-sized
scares into not a few who are resting
easier, now that the week is over and
no startling indictment bombs have
burst. The grand jury returned sew
