COMMUNITY BREEDING
HELPS SMALL BREEDERS

Certain improvement, uniformly
good individuals and constructive
breeding are the results of mating fe-
males with superior sires. Small
breeders and those just beginning in
the breeding business frequently find
the best sires apparently too expen-
sive. AS result such breeders must
either be satisfied with mediocre sires,
paying heavy service fee for a good
one, or cooperate in the purchase of
sire.
Unfortunately, too many choose the
easiest and ultimately the most disas-
trous route-the cheap inferior sire
S. 7. Simpson of the University Of
Missouri College of Agriculture sug-
gests that in most instances a few
sacrifices in personal fancies regard
ing type and character and inconve-
nience in breeding will afford the use
of a good sire. Organized community
breeding offers opportunities for the
small breeder to improve his herd and
flock by the use of the best sires
owned comparatively.
Community breeding offers further
opportunity through the exchange of
sires. While using mature sires fire.
quently does not appeal to some per-
sons, it should be remembered that
their real value seldom becomes known
until their get have developed. This
means that many sires are disposed
of before their value is known. Con-
structive breeding and permanent
improvement are the results of keep
ing the best healthy, tried sires of
good disposition and exchanging them
within the community. Aside from
the economic consideration this is an
other step in constructive breeding.
The secretary of the local breeders
organization should have record of
every sire and his performance and
make this available to each member.

WANT WORKERS TRAINED
IN AGRICULTURE

"Can you recommend three young
men for teachers in agriculture in the
State of Vermont. Salary $1100.
This is copy of telegram received
recently by Prof. F. B. Mumford,
Dean of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. 1t is a sam
pie of letters and kilograms which he
receives daily. The demand for Mis-
souri, men trained at Missouri's Col
lege of Agriculture is growing.
Every day the requests for men
trained in some branch of agriculture
ere received by Dean Mumford.
Sometimes one man is wanted. The
demand for men and women trained
in agriculture is considerably larger
than the supply. Hundreds of men
and women have ATTAINED positions
through these requests. Even the
lowest salaries are usually higher than
those paid to beginners in other pro-
LESSONS. Frequently graduates Of
the College of Agriculture receive
from $1,000 to $500 year in the be-
ginning.
New positions for agricultural work
ers are opening continuously. The de-
mand for teachers in agricultural
schools and high schools is strong.
The commercial field is requiring more
and more technically trained agricul-
tural workers and various branches of
State and government activity are re-
quiring men and women who have
received agricultural training,
Men and women who have had farm
experience and who have also received
technical training from an agricul-
tural school have unusual opportuni-
ties for good positions. Graduates
from the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture are in special demand.

22OO BOYS IN CORN CLUB

The corn club boys-2200 of them
are having breathing spell after a
summer of blowing, planting and cul-
tivation. 1t has been a good corn year
in most sections of the State, and now
the boys are awaiting harvest because
harvest will determine in a large
measure who will be entered in the
contest at Columbia during Farmers
Week.
Four gold watches, three trophies,
two medals, one diploma, and seventy
cash prizes which range from $25 to
81, are offered to those boys who
make the highest records. Most of
these prizes are offered by the Mis-
souri, State Corn Growers Associa-
ton and the Missouri Ruralist. Theses
prizes will be awarded during Farm
ers' Week at the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. In
some counties local contests will be
held and local prizes will be awarded.
The commercial clubs of Chillicothe,
Mound City, Brunswick and Lamar
will pay the Farmers Week expenses
of the boy who makes the highest
score in the respective counties.
The Agricultural Extension Service
of the College of Agriculture fur
nished seed corn last spring to 500 Of
the club boys. The rest of the mem
bers furnished their own corn. Mem
bers are between the ages of ten and
eighteen years. The Extension SER
vice furnishes monthly suggestion to
the boys on seed selection, testing,
seeded preparation, fertilizing, plant
ing, cultivation, and harvest.

FORESTRY STUDENTS TO ARMY

Four former students in the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture who specialized in forestry,
are now in the United States army.
They have joined the Forestry Regi-
ment and will soon sail for France.
The men are C. R. Fritschle, st. Louis;
F. G. Kraft, Kennett; E. B. Hottie,
st. Louis, and G. A. Galloway, La
fayette, Mo.
The Forestry Regiment, known as
the Tenth Engineers, will work in the
forests of Europe. Their principal
work will be cutting timber for use
in the trenches, for railroads and
other work. The Missouri men have
been with the regiment since July.
They have been stationed near Wash
ington, D. C.

vidual plants and make his selection
from those which yield the most grain
But if he waits to get his seed from
the crib he can only select good look
ing ears, without knowing whether
they were borne by high yielding
plants or by low yielding plants, or
by early plants or by late plants.
He can get no notion of the previous
productiveness Of the seed. Crib Sc
lection is therefore uncertain to give
good results; field selection is the on
ly sure method.
Although many directions for Sc
lecting corn in the field are given,
they can all be brought together in
one good rule: select the ears of
plants that yield more grain than sur
rounding plants grown under the
same conditions.

Experience the Best Teacher.

1t is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use of the expert
ence of others as we'll as our own Z?
The experience of a thousand persons
is more to be depended upon than that
Of one individual. Many thousands of
persons have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for coughs and colds
with the best results, which shows it
to be a thoroughly reliable prepara-
ton for those diseases. Try it. 1t is
prompt and effectual and pleasant to
take. Obtainable everywhere. (adv. J

The most remarkable draft record
yet reported, and one which it is i'm
possible to surpass, is that of Larue
county, Kentucky, the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln. The county was
called upon to furnish 1872 men for
the national army. The first 1872
men who were called passed the ply
steal examination and not one claim
ed exemption. 1t speaks well not
only for the health but also for the
spirit of Larue county.

HELP GET JOBS
FOR EX.CONVICTS
Efforts Made to Induce Judges in
Sentencing to Consider Oeeu-
patton, 49,.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. lone mat
ter which is now being taken into
consideration by district judges in
sentencing convicts to the state prison
is the season of year. at which term
of Imprisonment Is to expire. In every
instance where practicable the length
of term is so fixed that its expiration
will come in the spring or early sum-
mer.
There is, of course, reason.
Heretofore little attention has been
given to the season at which sent
ences terminated. Many have expired
in dead of winter. The eX-convict,
always handicapped in finding work,
is under double difficulty in winter,
when work is more scarce. The re-
suit has been that many ex-prisoners
have soon found their way back be-
hind the walls through the medium of
some crime which despair or hunger
forced upon them during the first few
weeks of their liberty,
These facts have been brought
home to district judges through inter-
cession upon the part OF the board OF
control. the pardon board and the
prison warden. and sentences pro-
nounced recently have been carefully
calculated to expire at season when
opportunities for the ex-convict to
find employment are most abundant.
Thirty sentences which would have
expired at more unfavorable seasons
were committed at the recent meet
ing OF the pardon board to terminate
In early spring. At this meeting 1873
applications were considered; two full
pardons were granted. Ave conditional
pardons were issued. thirty sentences
were commuted, ten sentences were
made indeterminate; citizenship was
restored to five applicants. four appli-
cations were deferred to the June ses-
sion. and So were denied.
