COUNTY AGENT CARRIGAN RESIGNS
Continued from Page y

state to decide to have county agent,
and Notwithstanding its late entrance
into the progressive ranks. the Addison
County Farmers Association became
and probably still is today, the largest
farmers organization in Vermont. Mr..
Carrigan gives credit for this to the
farmers themselves, but in The Regis
ter's opinion good share of the credit
goes to Mr. Carrigan himself.
He has been from the first a most en-
thusiastic, commonsense leader The
obstacles which he must have faced at
the outset in way of opposition on the
part of some farmers gradually gave
way in most quarters to full reaiza-
ton of the help that a county agent
could be to the farmer, and with his
heart in his work he has labored liter
ally day and night in the interests Of
the county.
In his new post Mr.. Carrigan will
succeed Assistant State Leader Jay
Coryell, who has accepted a similar posi-
ton in New York State. The new post
carries with it considerable increase
in salary, and will offer Mr.. Carrigan a
wider field His work will be one of
personal touch with all the County
Agents in the state, most of whom Mr..
Carrigan knows intimately, and Addison
County will doubtless see him from
time to time.

that purpose a lucrative insurance
business in Washington. He has,
however, in his fathers language,
answered the call of his country;

active in personal work during a big

until the next revival season, when
they jump about again with a great
deal Of vitality. Did you ever see
one Of then? Well, that is not the
kind of religious experience that
makes a strong Christian, nor are
these the kind of Christians that
make a thriving church. The men
and women who are always at their
posts, who. ss Lincoln expressed it,
Just keep pegging along faithful

tianity and build up a church. They

the farmer may expect a re-
turn of at least five dollars for
every dollar spent for wheat

can poet:
Though reason chafe and love re-
pine,
There comes a voice without rely
IT'S mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought to
die"
DR.. Lodge makes a strong point
when he says of the American SOL
diers: "They r going to fight in
France to keep South Carolina from
being made another Belgium. They
are going to face horror abroad in
order that you and I may not be
forced to face horror at home y =
If French soldiers had not crossed
the ocean to fight for America, our
fathers would never have won the
war of the Revolution" If France
had adopted the weak, narrow and
selfish course that some in this coun-
try would have the United States
adopt, France would never have come
to the aidsof America in the hour of
supreme crisis. If the soldiers of
France had refused to 60 beyond the
borders of that country to fight, Am
erica might still be a British pos
session.
Equally forceful is the statement
that "our boys are nov going to
fight for the very same great, indy,
ing, priceless principle for which the
Confederate soldiers fought in 1861
right of self-government."
America fights not only for the right
of selft-government for the German
people but also for the oppressed
peoples of Europe, at the same ward,

Fertilization OF WHEAT.

The following statement
concerning the fertilization OF
wheat this fall was issued by
the department of agricultural
extension at Purdue Univer-
sity, July 4, 1917:
The fertilization of the
wheat crop was never more
important than it will be this
fall. From every part Of Indi-
ana come reports of the excel
lent results secured from fer
tilization and the very poor
yields of wheat secured from
unfertilized soil. By fertiliz-
ing, the farmer swaps dollars
for eagles.
Z. evidence on the profita-
bleness of fertilizing tn e
wheat is abundant" I'm 1916
L. M. Waggoner of St. Joseph
county, applied two hundred
pounds of acid phosphate to
the acre, on all but a small
part a field sown to wheat.
From the fertilized part he Sc
cured 22.4 bushels of wheat
to the acre, and on the infer
tilted, 1875 bushels to the
acre-a gain of 80 bushels,
due to fertilizing."
This year two hundred
pounds of acid phosphate will
cost about 1925, and wheat
is worth $500 per bushel. On
this basis the increase secured
by Mr.. Waggoner would be
worth $3.50 and the profit
after counting expenses of ap-
plying fertilizer and paying
for harvesting and marketing
the increased crop would be
more than $500 an acre. II
this isn't a case Of swapping
dollars for eagles it comes
very near to it.
The Ohio experiment sta-
ton of Wooster, as an average
for the last twenty two years.
has secured an increase Of
80 bushels Of wheat to the
acre, from an application OF
100 pounds of acid phosphate
to the acre. The phosphateo
yield has been 1872 bushels
and the unphosphated 11:s
bushels. Where 1000 pounds
of potash has been added tc
the phosphate, the yield has
been 20.4 bushels to the acre
or an increase of 1.2 bushels
more than was secured from
phosphate alone. Even at pre-
sent prices for wheat and be-
fore-war prices for potash the
increase in the wheat crop wa
not sufficient to pay the cos
of the potash. The addition

William d. Stephens

The passing away of the life of Mr..
Stephens is that of one who has
fought the fight, finishing his course
and has gone to his reward. He was
born in North Carolina, July 26, 1885,
and died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Elmer Cue, at 7:30 o'clock p. M,
Saturday, September 9, 1917, aged
81 years, 1 month and IA days. The
cause of his death was a gradual de-
cline following a stroke of paralysis
suffered about six years ago.
While he was yet boy his father
moved the family to Tennessee and
later to Indiana where he grew to
manhood and on March 26, 1860, was
united in marriage with Miss Lavina
Cox. They soon moved to Iowa where
their nine children, two sons and
seven daughters were born. Two of
these daughters died in infancy and
one SON, Grant, died after he had
reached the age of manhood The
other children and their mother SUI

Rev. Allison, pastor of the church, who
used for his text the words found in
2 Timothy 1, IL, the same text as was
selected for her mothers funeral. Rev.
Allison spoke very highly of the life
and work of Mrs Wilson and his re-
marks found sympathetic accord in
the hearts of his hearers. Rev. Brown
of Hill City, was also present and
made few remarks. The floral offer
ings were many and beautiful, but
none were more beautiful than the
Christian life of Mrs. Wilson had been.
The body was laid to rest in the Wa
Keeney Cemetery and the funeral was
attended by large number of friends.
The relatives from out of town who
attended the funeral were F. B. Thrall,
Ottumwa, Iowa; Mrs. j. v. Bean,
Fairfield, Iowa; Mr.. and Mrs. Wayne
Willis, Emporia, Kansas, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clayton Fullington, Navarro,

vive and were with him at the time of
his death.
Mr.. Stephens and family came to
Trego county on March "a, 1887, and
located on a farm a few miles south
west of this city. Later they sold this
farm and homesteaded a quarter near
er to town which has long been known
as the stephens farm" He knew
what it meant to undergo the trials
and hardships of pioneer settler in
this country yet he always maintain
ed hopeful disposition and hoped for
things better in the future. In early
life he became a member of the
Friends or Quaker church and was a
and later united with the Methodist
church of this city. 1t can truly be
said of him that he was a man, pat
lent, tender hearted, kindly in his deal
ings and loving father and husband.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church in this
city Tuesday, the sermon being deliv-
cred by the Rev. Sutton, pastor. The
body was buried in the Wa-Keeney
Cemetery. The floral offerings were
numerous and very beautiful. The
deceased is survived by his aged wife,
his son and five daughters, besides
thirty three grand children and
twenty-one great grand children. To
them is extended the sincere sympathy
of a large circle of friends.

RAIN AND HAIL

The hearts of the citizens of the
west two-thirds of this couny were
made glad Sunday afternoon when
very much needed rain began falling
and continued to fall for about two
hours. The government rain gauge in
this city recorded a fall of one and
eighty-five hundreths inches of water.
It fell gently and will be great bene-
fit to the wheat which was planted
and to tfilst whieh is .slow.beizss plalst-
ed. A strip of country about four
miles wide and several miles long
about twelve miles south of this city
suffered considerable loss by hail. The
standing vegetation was literally
pounded into the ground. In some
places the hail was piled four or five
feet deep and there is plenty of it left
there yet for use by all those who de-
sire to make ice cream. J. G. Hixson
was down that way this morning and
brought back a few pounds as evil
dence. 1t is unusual that hail storms
occur this late in the season in this
country.

GIRLS BALL TEAM LOST AT HAYS

Dear Sir and Brother:
I believe in justice to the girls of
this place as well as those of your
town that a few words of reply to
a nasty little article in the Trego
County Hemorrhage would not be out
of place
'"The base ball girls went to Hays
last Friday and dropped a game to
the Hays girls by quite a sizeable
score. They were not treated very
cordially at Hays, having to find there
own way out to the park, find their
own Accommodations, and generally
look out for themselves, which is in
marked contrast to the usual attitude
at Hays that it could not help but
cause comment."-Trego County Re-
porter.
Now listen 20 that little tW.o-cyi5n-
der wheeze from either an unreliable
or misinformed source, will you? For
we feel sure it does not voice the
sentiment of the excellent young peo-
pie of Wa-keeney who visited Hays
on that day-who were met at the
train by the Hays coach and two mem
bers of the team, shown to their
rooms and instructed where to eat.
The writer and the coach, drove to
the hotel just before the game and
took three of the visitors to the
grounds and was assured the others
had acconOda tiops waiting for them
to the grounds. A dance was given
for the benefit of those who wished to
stay and a special invitation to the
