COUNTY AGENT WORK
improvements in Farming Methods
Due to Demonstration Work of
States Relations Service.

Through development Of improved
organization and the growth of a
more definite project system the Of
fee Of Extension Work in the. North
and West carried its demenstr ation
activities into closer relation Fb the
practical needs of the farmers of
the region during the past year, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
States Relations Service Of the de-
partment. Local associations Of
farmers took a greater part in the
work and more attention was devot-
ed to studies Of local economic facts
upon which to develop demonstra
tions of permanent value. Exten-
sion work in the special interests Of
farm women was undertaken in the
territory under the Office, and a num-
Der of women agents were placed in
the field.
Among the specific results from
the county-agent work of the Office
of Extension Work in the North and
West during the year were:
Yields Of oats in fields managed as
as demonstrations under supervision
of the county agents increased on an
average 1928 bushels per acre over
the average yields for the region.
Yields of wheat in fields managed
as demonstrations increased 8.4 bus
hels per acre.
Yields Of OTIS in fields managed as
demonstrations increased Ill bus
hels per acre.
Several score registered stations
and rams and several hundred reg
istered bulls and bears were placed
on farms.
Nearly thousand fine bulls no
longer useful in their communities
because of danger of inbreeding
were saved from the block and trans
ferred to other communities.
One hundred and forty three cow
testing associations, 80 livestock
breeding associations, and 142 hog
cholera control associations were or
ganized.
More than 100000 hogs were vac
cinated against cholera.
Better farm management was pro-
noted through assistance given to
farmers in determining the factors
that make for success or failure in
farm enterprises.
Farmers exchanges and co-opera-
tive marketing associations were
organized and effected large savings
to members.
Three hundred and twenty-one
watersupply systems were intro
duced into farm homes.
Club work was carried on with
more than 100000 boys and girls.
Over $4,000 of these engaged in
proft-making projects, producing
over $5O9,oo0 worth Of food pro-
ducts.
The club work was placed on a
more permanent basis as an extern
sion agency, and boys and girls are
now enrolling to pursue the work
for a series Of years.

Plaxino Her Purse.

A member of Bohemian house
party, having lost heavily at bridge,
wrote to her husband asking him to
send her some money, as she had lost
her purse
Playing once more, she won enough
to cover her losses, and she wired:
purse found. Need not send money"
But at her third venture she was
again unfortunate, so she telegraphed:
"Send money as first requested. Purse

SAVE YOUR
SEED POTATOES
Short Crop Foreshadows Serious Sit.
uation in 1917, Deem Woods
Points Out.

Ten states of the southwest, in
Guiding Texts, are sending inquiry
to Minneapolis for seed potatoes,
and the situation is not only serious,
but in some of it's aspects is alarm
ing, Dean A. F. Woods declared re-
Gently in issuing warning to Min
nesota farmers to hang onto pota-
toes for next springs seed.
There is an actual scarcity of good
seed, the dean said. Some districts
in Minnesota produced good crops,
but as a whole production Of them
was short. Estimates of the guam
tity actually raised vary from SO to
IS per cent Of normal crop.
The big annual southwest demand
Of the hardy prolific, northern
grown seed potatoes usually begins
toward the last of December and
many carloads go south in January
and February. This year there is
such a scarcity Of good stock, say
agricultural experts and men in the
wholesale potato trade, that the
whole situation has been changed.
IF the Minnesota farmers do not
provide themselves with good seed,
the crop Of the state in 1917 will be
seriously affected" Dean Wood said.
II would like to reach every farm
er in the state who raises potatoes.
If he has taken measures to provide
good seed for next spring well and
good, If not, and I fear that many
farmers have not, I would like him
to know the situation.
Minnesota farmers should try to
get Minnesota grown potatoes for
seed and if they have not a carry
over supply Of stock themselves,
they should try to get seed grown
north Of their own territory. But
they must be careful.
Recently we destroyed a whole
carload Of Canadian grown potatoes
that had powdery scab. Had that
carload been permitted to go out to
our Minnesota farmers the eventual
damage would have been great.
Minnesota is splendid state this
year among the big potato states
and is remarkably free from dis
eases. In New England they have
the powdry scab, and in states
neighboring Minnesota, there are
wilt, fungus growth, and black
leg, which is bad. No good Mime
sofa farmer wants to use potatoes
like that for seed.
"The damp spring prevented the
Minnesota potato vines from form
ing tubers as they should have done
Really what is the matter with Min
nesota is that we did not raise more
than part of a normal crop. am
not warning farmers against Mime.
sofa potatoes. On the contrary
most Of them are good. The ques.
ton is, will there be anywhere nea1
enough to go around
| 1t looks now as if all these
states where the crops were diseased
may turn more or less to Minnesota
for seed, in addition to the usua1
outside demand. The potato cror
is a big annual asset for Minnesota
and the seed question is highly i'm.

w. C. T. U. REPORT.

The w. C. T. U. neld their
regular meeting Thursday after
noon. Eighteen different de-
partments of work are to be
taken up this year and super
intendents were appointed for
each department.
After the regular business was
attended to an interesting quiz
was conducted by the president
the answers bringing out much
useful information along Tenn
perancel ines.
White Ribboners are rejoicing
over the action of the U. S. Sen
ate recently in giving a more
than two-thirds majority for a
Constitutional Amendment for
National Prohibition. 'How pro-
hibition would affect the price
of COAL" was we'll brought out
by Mrs. Henry Kuck. With bill
lions of dollars to be spent for
war materials and new factor
les springing up every year the
demand for coal grows heavier
and heavier. Many difficulties
stand in the way of an increased
output, chief among them being
the difficulty in getting business.
Our coal miners come largely
from foreign lands and immi-
grafton is at a low ebb. The draft
will take away some of the men
now in the mines. In the face
of these difficulties it is inter-

esting to note the effect Of pro-
hibition on the output Of coal in
those regions that have gone
dry. During the trouble between
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany when the Federal troops
were called in, all saloons were
closed and during the first eigh-
teen days of the dry regime the
output increased eleven per cent.
In West Virginia the White
Oak Coal Company showed an
increase of over thirty-two thou
sand tons of coal covering a per-
iod of three months without sa-
looms. j. D. A. Morrow of the
Pittsburg coal Producers Asso-
citation declared before the In
terstate Commerce Commission
that the production of coal in
Pittsburg would, be increased
five million tons if strong drink
were eliminated. And beer, the
socalled light drink, causes more
inefficiency in men and preempts
more space in freight trains than
whisky.
In fact all testimony on the
subject from factory, mine or
shop tells the same story. The
simplest and surest way of in
creasing the coal production at
this time, is by prohibiting drink.
Unless this is done our factor
les will be hampered for lack of
fuel, our production of war ma
terial will be lessened and our
citizens suffer from cold.
The liquor dealers are making
their plea now against pronibi-
ton on the grounds that the ba-
bies would suffer for lack of
milk if dairymen were not able
to get brewers grain for feed |
for mich cattle. That this lack |
of feed would force the price of |
milk up to twenty-five or thirty
cents a quart. A denial Of this
fact was well brought out by
Mrs. Dunlap who quoted state
ments from reliable sources,
showing that only eight per cent
of cattle feed was obtained from
brewers grains and that many
diaries would not use brewers
grains at all.
At the close of the quiz, the
audience were entertained by a
recitation given by Mary Rich
ards. The officers of the Union
served refreshments at the close
Of the program Mrs. E. Collins.

me | could nave him for one dol

make him live it was nothing.
One day in the first part Of
April | brought him home in a
little grape basket and he
weighed just five pounds. He
was a Chester White and | named
him Peter. It took a great deal
of time and patience to teach
him to drink. He was very wild
at first but ne soon learned that
I was his friend and he be

NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE.

Beginning Sunday, Sept. End,
a change in the time Of running
some of the trains on the local
roads is to take place. The pas
senger train arriving here from
the East at II A. M. and the 5
o'clock from the west will be
taken off and the old Hughes
train arriving here about 8 A.
M. from Mankato and from
Tracy at $40 in the evening
will be substituted. This will
eliminate No. % going East at
$40 in the morning. The Red
wood train and the Marshall
train will each go north after
the Hughes train arrives and
both will return in time for peo-
pie to take the west bound 2::36
train west. AS usual two trains
will be run to Redwood Falls
each day, the last train will give
the people up that branch an OPP
portunity to connect with the
Hughes train going east. People
on the Marshall branch will al
so get better service, for they
will also get an additional freight
train each day. The regular
schedule of two through passen-
ger trains each day east and west
will be the same as usual.
The only disadvantage to Slee-
py Eye people in the change is
the lack of accommodation in
train No. %, going East at $40,
but this is not serious. The two
branch towns will get better SER

evening. / hit the cot and my two

Men Are Fine.
The forty-one men in our section
are nearly all fine fellows. There
are just a few from New York who
have some money which has spoiled
them a bit.
l am sorry to say that Baker and
Carlton of Minneapolis with few
others from the Rochambeau went
out in the proceeding section and
some have gone to fill vacancies in
other sections.
While we are under the French
Government and directly under a
French Lieutenant, our sub-chief is
an American who has been over here
for several years. All seems fine and
if we get good cook, nothing will
