WANTS TO AID
FOOD GROWERS
Uncle Sam Will Send Two Ex-
perts if the County Will
Pay Their Expenses.
Offer Probably Will Be Ac-
cepted = People Seem
to Favor the Plan.


Uncle Sam is planning to aid
Seward and other Kansas counties
in the raising and preserving of food
providing these Kansas counties
show that they want this aid. He
made his plans known at the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce
last Friday evening, through F. G.
Crabtree, district agricultural agent.
To get the services of two experts
in food production and preservation,
Seward County has only to pay their
expenses which comes to about
$1,000 a year. Uncle Sam pays their
salaries and sees that they are
worthy of teaching us. Everyone of
the experts sent out must pass rig
i'd examination to show that he is
fitted for the work.
A man and woman will be sent
to each county in the state. The
man will work to increase crop pro-
duction by teaching farmers better
methods of farming while the woman
will aid in the preservation of food
by teaching the women how to can
and put up foods, especially regard
ing the most economical way.
There is little doubt but that these
people will be sent for. Ray Mill
man spoke in behalf of the plan at
Kismet this week. At first they were
opposed but when it was thoroughly
explained to them they were quite
willing to have them come. Other
districts in the county seem to be will
ling also.
The Booster Trip came up for
discussion at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting. Little was definite

been previously mentioned in these

Tie Chamber of Commerce is still
without a slogan. Two or three
have been submitted but the commit
tee wants to wait until more are
turned in before choice is made.
Two zinc etchings are being made
of a road map of the territory in and
around Liberal. One will be left at
each printing office. Merchants who
desire can have these maps printed
on the back of their stationery at a
small extra cost. The map features
Liberal and the Kansas-California
and Great Plains highways. The cuts
will be mortised so that each business
man can add whatever printed mat
ter he may desire.
]. L. Hinchman, secretary of the
organization read his report. The
club now has a membership Of 255.
Quite number of these have not
paid and the secretary requests that
they do so at once so that the good
work of the club may continue.
Twenty-four new members have
been added since May II.
