Agricultural Issues of Monitor to be
Continued.

The Monitor has rendered great as
sistance to the Orleans County Agrl-
cultural association by giving it the
use of page once each month for the
past year. The executive committee
has now made arrangements to con-
tinue the use of this page.
1t is believed that every member
of the association should have the Of
fetal news as published once each
month on this page, and the execu-
tive committee has decided to make
subscription to the Agricultural News
issues of the Monitor a part of each
membership.
Therefore when one pays the reg
ular So dues for membership in the
Orleans County Agricultural associa-
ton he will receive free the Agri-
cultural News issues of the Monitor.
In other words, paid membership in
the association now includes sub
scription to the IL issues of the Mont
tor containing official association
news, testing association summaries,
and special agricultural news.
Association receipts for dues will
therefore contain coupon which will
be worth SO cents when presented at
the Monitor Office with 81 for a con-
tinuous yearly subscription to this
paper. This places those who do and
those who do not take the paper as
regular subscriber upon an equal ba-
sis. The coupon is issued by the as
ISOLATION and accepted by the publish
er of the Monitor in lieu of payment
made by the association direct to the
Monitor for sending the special Ag-
ricultural News issue to it's members,
and virtually constitutes rebate to
association members who are now or
those who become regular yearly sub
scribers.
To one who has been close to the
work and who has a good opportuni-
ty to determine what this monthly
page in an established newspa-
per means as method of dis
seminating the information of the
organization, it would be a great
mistake not to continue the present
method of publication. All those
whose subscriptions to the Ag
ricultural News issues expired in
January and who wish to avail them
selves of this opportunity should send
their membership dues to the Agri-
cultural association at once. Send
to c. w. Richmond.

The question is, how to do it. The
farm business consists of combina-
ton of enterprises. Weakness in one
part weakens the whole. Preceding
pages have shown the wide variation
in the labor incomes and the chief
reasons for it. By studying your
farm business you can find the weak
places. Then, by strengthening these,
you can make more money. The best
way for a farmer to study his bust
ness is to keep some record of his
business transactions which can be
summarized at the end of the year.
If you are not doing SO now would
it not be a good plan to keep account
of what you take in and spend on the
farm? 1t is not necessary to put
down the personal and living expens-
es. By spending less than five min
utes day, you will have at the end
of the year a complete record of your
years business. Keeping an ac-
count is merely a matter of habit.
Get into the habit It will be as
profitable as any time you spend
during the whole year. Your county
agent has some blank books especial
ly suitable for keeping simple farm
accounts which you can secure.
This demonstration will be repeated
early in 1917 to provide standards
with which to compare each mans
farm. If you have not been included
and wish to be, tell your county agent.
He would be glad to help you start
an account book or discuss with you
any points in this report which you do
not understand.

Yearly Report of the LamOille Valley
Creamery Association.

The annual report of the Lamoille
Valley Creamery association has
come under the observation of the
county agent and it was of such in
terest that it seemed worthy of being
put in the Agricultural News so that
the public could understand it's
growth, and at the same time know
what uniformly high prices have been
paid. The average price paid for the
year for butterfat is 1877 cents. This
is the average of all that was deliver
ed to them and is an exceptionally
high average. 1t is not what the
farmer gets at some two or three
months of the year, especially that
portion of the year he has very little
to sell, that makes his yearly income
from his dairy high average, but if
he can receive good price through
the flush of the season it means some
thing of considerable Importance,
and therefore I take this opportunity
to present the results of the success
full cooperative creamery which ought
to be standard for all others to fol-
low.

A CARNEGIE LIBRARY BUILDING

A CARNEGIE LIBRARY BUILDING
The question Of library building
for Grants Pass is brought to public
attention again through receipt by
the mayor of a letter from the Sec
retary of the Carnegie Corporation Of
New York. asking as to what dispo-
sition has been made of the promise
made the city four years ego. At
that time Mayor Smith entered into
correspondence with the Carnegie
corporation. and the definite promise
was made that q building to cost $l2,-
500 would be erected here upon the
guarantee that the city would main
tain it through fund Of $1,250 per
annum. No action was taken upon
the proposition, and the Carnegie
people now state that unless ,he city
is about to undertake. the construc-
tion of the building the agreement Of
Il corporation will be 'nsidered as
lapsed.
At the present time the city is ap-
propriating for the maintenance OF
the free library $1,000 per year. and
has upon at least one occasion APP
propriated $500. Thus the city can
have the Carnegie building without
more expense to itself than at pres
ent, though vote of the people to
guarantee the permanency of the an
nual fund would probably be reQuir-
ed 1t is argued by some that a $12,-
500 building would not be adequate
for the city. II this is true, the Car
negie corporation could no doubt be
induced to increase the appropria-
tion for this city II the larger main
tenance were forthcoming. The re-
quirement is an annual maintenance
fund of 10 per cent of the coz. OF the
building. But even a building to
cost $12,5OO. II used for library pur-
poses alone, would be adequate for
many years. The city hall cost less
than this amount. The Community is
much in need, however, OF an assem-
bly, room for use in holding many of
the public meetings, and this could
be provided in building to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Already the library quarters at the
city hall are inadequate as we'll al
being much out of the way. The
Courier believes, therefore. that ef
fort should now be made to obtair
Carnegie building upon larger
basis than the one originally prom
ised, II possible, and II not then &C
cept one to cost the s12,500. ou
free public library is well establishe,
and has become a civic necessity.
number OF years ago the city vote,
against acceptance of the Carnegi
fund.- but with the library ready I

is little doubt about the result OF a
election IL now held.
