HOW HE saw The LIGHT
Farmer, Unresponsive TO GovernmeI2
Suggestions, Changes When II
Understands Purpose.

Out in Nebraska a county agent
had experienced much difficulty In
interesting a certain farmer in pro-
posed agricultural improvement CAM
paigns. This farmer, who was OF
much influence in the community,
considered his own individual sue
cess proof that Government coop
Grafton with farmers is entirely un-
necessary. A special representative
of the extension Office of the United
States Department of Agriculture
who visited that section was told OF
the case by the county agent. He
went to the farmer and found him
cold and unresponsive.
You are standing in the way OF
your country when your country is at
war; said the special agent to the
farmer, finally. DO you realize
that?"
NO" said the farmer, Il hadn't
thought of it that way"
well, do think of it that way
awhile" suggested the special agent.
1.-THE man who doesn't help his coun-
try at this time is hurting his ceuH-
try, and to hurt your country when
your country is at war is pretty
bad thing to do, don't you think so?'
''You bet l do" said the farmer,
thawing out for the first time during
the interview You don't think l
am that kind of a man, do you? I'll
do anything for my country. I'll
fight"
''All right, "said the agent. Here's
your chance. See that your farm and
all the farms in your county in
crease their yields and their cultiva-
ted acreage. 1t isn't picturesque,b but
it is service-real service, great and
genuine service. Now that's what
the Government wants you to do.
That's the purpose of these special
county organizations. That's what
these emergency county agents, like
the one in this county, are urging.
What about it? Your country wants
you to help. Either you will or you
won't -and if you won't help your
own country, you are Indirectly help
ing the enemy. What your country
wants you to do is to plant more
land, specialize on certain crops, and
cultivate so as to increase ,produc-
ton. 1t is all figured out to harmo-
nize with great national program,
scientifically and efficiently arrang-
ed. The community organizations,
cooperating in each community
throughout the United States, are
essential to the realization of this
national plan-and that plan is abso-
lutely necessary of accomplishment if
we are to win the war. Now we are
trying to. organize this county in har-
mony.with this plan. You have OPP
posed,it. Don't you see what that
meanS?"
when is that county meeting?"
asked the farmer.
Tonight"
..I'fl be there tonight and make a
speech. You are mighty right
hadn't thought of it that way. You'll
never have another chance to insinu-
ate that am not with my country in
this war

SUNLIGHT AND SOIL.

Causes of the Difference of Color In
Foliage and Flowers.
1t is sunlight that chiefly causes the
difference in the color Of the foliage
and flowers Of plants. The foliage and
flowers of plants absorb sun rays OF
certain colors and reject others, and
this it is that makes the flowers take
on their proper colors.
We know that the character Of the
soil and possibly a difference In eli
mate may cause flowers to change
their cOlors. Some wild flowers of New
Jersey are Of quite a different shade
OF color from the same flowers In H.
linOis, the character of the soil caus-
Ing the flowers to change their selec-
ton Of the suns rays, and thus the
color of the flower Is changed.
To prove that the character of the
soil may change the color of flowers
take any Of the pink Towering varie-
ties Of Hydrangea hortensis, repot the
plant, carefully washing away the OLD
soil, and replace In soil In which alum
has been incorporated. The proper pro-
portion Is half n pound Of alum bro
ken into pieces the size OF a hickory
nut to each bushel Of soil. In this soil
the plants, instead Of producing pink
flowers, as formerly. will produce flow.
ers Of blue.
New shades of flowers are produced
by crossing one color with another,
somewhat as an artist mixes paints to
obtain desired shades and colors, but
with far more trouble and far less &C.
curacy. Sometimes on the same stem
flowers Of different colors are found,
due to hybridization or to a freak of
nature, the tendency to break away
from the established type. In nature
nothing stands still. 1t is either pro
gression or retrogression.
The range Of color for each species
seems to be confined within certain
limits, though the hybridizer is gradu-
ally extending these limits. Yellow,
white and purple are the commonest
colors In wild flowers in the order
named. Yellow is the simplest and
most primitive color and blue the latest
and most highly evolyed.-Exchange.

River Claims
the First Boy

About lis, Wednesday, April 1S,
Melvin Lindahl fell into the river near
the mill dam and was drowned. He
was the son Of A. W. Lindahl, who re-
sides in the Granger addition across
the river and was formerly employed
ut the mill. The boy was about eight
years old. He was pupil at the Lin
coin school and was evidently return
ing to school when the accident &C.
S8urred
Some boys were crossing the river
% the N. P. track and bridge over the
liver 10 the mill. Box cars were
standing on this track and the boys
had to- so ever these. In some man
ner the: Lindahl boy lost his balance
and fell into the water, which is deep
at that place. He was seen by some
! OF the mill hands, but before he could
be~ssescued he went down for the last
dne. The police and mill hands secur-
ID the bGdy by the use of dray hooks
After, the boy had been in the water for
about SO minutes. DR.. Macdonald was
called and pronounced the boy dead.
He. had been in the water too long to
be resuscitated. The pulmoter from
the city hall was on hand, but was not
used.
1t is indeed a sad affair, and the
parents have the sympathy of the en-.

Beal Calls Vets
for State Meet

Orders have been issued by De-
partment Commander Henry Beal Of
the Grand Army of the Republic for
the tWentyeighth annual encamp>
ment of the department OF North Da-
kota, which will be held at Casselton
Tuesday and Wednesday, June II and
10.
A meeting of the council of admin
istration is called for $50 o'clock on
June IL for the purpose Of auditing
the books Of the officers.
The orders issued by Commander
Beal call especial attention to next
Memorial Day. The order says:
I'm these stirring times when wars
and rumors of war assail us on every
side, recalling so wildly those days in
the early sixties when you, my com.
rades, offered your lives 40 preserve
the honor Of that flag which we low
ingly call "Cld Glory" our thoughts
go out to those who shared with US in
the struggle, who have now gone to
their reward, and we trust that no
grave of soldier or sailor in this
state will go unmarked by a garland
of flowers on Memorial day, no mat
ter on which side they fought during
the strife, for in the grave all distinc.
lions are leveled, and in the present
crisis there is no North and no South.
"Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
General Logan's Memorial Order
should be given in all public services
on Memorial day.
Flag Day, June II, is also called at
tentiOn tn az follows.
Flag Day coming the next day after
the encampment closes, the present
administration would call attention to
the added incentive this year to have
the display of the flag even more
general on June IA, than ever before.
We never wanted war, but war came,
and we were ready to do all in our
power to bring it to victorious end
ing, and so, while we are beyond
the age when we may take an active
part in the field, we are not too old
to give encouragement to those who
do take part.
