PLAN FOR A
MAXIMUM CROP
IN 1918

Right now the United States must
make plans for a maximum crop in
1918. It will be needed, war or peace
and it looks as if it will be war.
Help the farmer get ready to raise
this maximum crop-it is certain that
it will pay him. Encourage him in
every farm enterprise that is produc-
tive. Finance every plan that is sane
Above all start a campaign for a
county agent, if your county has none,
Uncle Sam wants to put an agent in
every agricultural county-but don't
wait for him to move. Pave the way.
Create sentiment. Call in your lead
ing farmers and talk to them. Rally
fellow-bankers and business men to
help finance the plan
A county agent in your county will
mean more profits for your farmers
more food-gloom for the Kaiser
and system of safe farming when
our swords are beaten into plowsnares.
Banker Farmer.

MARSHFIELD

Superintendent Gibson of the Wood
county asylum has leased 40 acres of
hay land of J. J. Mcdonald in the west
ern city limits and has his men at
work cutting and housing it. He will

present they are feeding at the asylum
farm 40 head of cattle and 10 horses.

500 chickens.
Fred Bauer is good natured far
mer, new conner in these parts, who
resides west of town on rural route
two. Among his other possessions he
keeps fifteen or twenty colonies of bees
Last Tuesday morning Fred came to
town with one eye closed and the back
of his left hand pulled up like toad
at song service. He says you can't
trust a bee any more than you can a
Spaniard.
AS matter of rest and comfort let
the Herald suggest that on the prin-
cipal part of Central avenue benches
be provided by the city and placed in
front of business places on the outer
edge of the walk. The walk is Is feet
wide and the benches would not inter
fere with travel. It would provide a
resting place for many weary mothers
or old persons and would be appreci-
ated generally by the public.

 French finances have been unshak- en by the war in the opinion ex- pressed to the Associated. Press by Charles Glide, of the University of Paris. an eminent authority on econ- omlc questions. discussing the out look at the beginning of the fourth year of the conflict.
 France" said NJ. Glide, has spent about 70,0O0,00O,00O on three years of military effort. Yet in the thirty sixth month of hostiltes, the French people are investing in short term treasury bonds as freely as they were two years ago, that is at the rate of nbout 1,00O,OOO,000 a month."
 As evidence of the excellence of French credit, M. Glide pointed to the cooperation of the United States which, he sand, brings formidable aid to France and her allies. This he continued, mot only removes all doubt concerning the result of the war from a military standpoint, but relieves the financial situation by di- minishing the drain upon French gold"
 ''The money which France has spent to sustain her military effort inside the country swells the figures of her outlay to immense proportions, but this outlay cannot be considered q dead loss except in such proportion as is spent for steel, explosives, and other material made to be destroyed. Increased prices paid for every com- modity, it must be remembered also, has vastly Increased the revenues of the French people. Before the war these revenues were S0,00O, 900, 900 to 35,0O0, 100000 francs. Now they are DO, 900 000000 francs annually. These figures show that, formidable as the war debt appear at first sight, the problem of it's liquidation is not so alarming after all.
 France can stand another year or War outlay quite as well as she stood the third year. It would be embar- rassng for her to pay in gold for everything bought abroad, but this difficulty has been relieved by the credit generously granted by the Uni-
