highest prices obtainable when dealing
with the government. 1t might be re-
marked, in passing, that this tendency
has a way of manifesting itself, on a
smaller scale, in dealings with state and
municipal governments-but that is an
other story. A government contract is
too often regarded as an opportunity for
extortion, and treated accordingly. In
peace times, Uncle Sam has been patient
and long suffering under this form of i'm
position; but in time of war, he wants
what he wants when he wants it, and
he has neither time nor disposition to
dicker. His temper at such time is not
such as to brook exorbitant charges, par
ticularly since he is conscious OF possess
ing power to protect himself from them.
Happily only on rare occasions, when
war is palpably imminent, does it be-
come necessary for him to invoke that
power. Many American manufacturers
have anticipated tho governments needs
and have voluntarily offered the use of
their plants as long as they may be
needed, to be run under government d.
rection and on such terms as the gov
notably the brassmaking industry, have
offered TO fill government orders at cost
of production. Bankers and financiers
have offered to advance money in large
sums, without interest. Generally speak
ing, the spirit of patriotism is in evidence
among the manufacturers and capital.

is bound to crop out in sporadic in

WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Report for Week Ending April ?.

! The most important part OF the work
this week was the completion of the
organization of the cow testing associa-
ton for the vicinity of Barre and Berlin
The organization meeting was held in
the county agents office on Wednesday
afternoon and was attended by Is OF
tho members. A board of directors, five
in number, was chosen and from these
the president, A. l.. Smith, and the secre-
tary treasurer, c. A. Dodge, were elected.
The other members of the board were
Frank Allen, w. II. Turner and r. I.
Martin. There are about $40 cows en-
rolled at present. The association was
named the Mirror Lake Cow Testing as
ISOLATION and makes the fourth associa-
tion in the county. Altogether they will
be testing nearly 1000 COWS or about 10
per cent of the total number in the coun-
ty. The tester will probably not start
until later, as no men are available for
the work at this time However, the
work will be gotten under way as soon
as possible.
This work is carried on for distinctly
one purpose, that of dairy improvement
A great deal of discussion has been aired
about ''better dairy herds" and we still
meet the farmer who says that he can
make his selections of cows and stock by
his "eye" and by his Judgment" but the
real dairyman OF to-day has combined
other things with is judgment, and one
thing has become thoroughly settled
question in his mind, and that is the
fact that production records Of his in
dividual cows are absolutely necessary if
he expects TO improve the production and
the profit"
Dairying should be "business" and
not merely an occupation The dairyman
must treat each COW in his herd as a
regular employee and he must keep track
Of her work in order to know when to
fire" her and when to keep her for an
other year. lnnumerable statistics have
been collected in regard to this question
Of dairy production, and a most startling
fact that they have shown Is that in the
average herd upon which no records have
been kept, one half of the cows in the
nerd have been supporting the other half
md making what little profit was made
besides. Countless cases can be cited |
where the best cow in the herd has made |
more profit to the owner than the six
poorest ones.
Think of this, Mr.. Dairyman while
you are milking your cows tonight, and |
hen proceed to make some provision |
Whereby you can accurately know the |
,early production of your individual /
.ows.

County Agent.
