Aiding Farmers by oroups.

One Of the important ways In which
a county agricultural agent serves the
farmers in u community is by means
Of farm management demonstrations
In most communities there are a few
farmers who are much more success
full than the average Of the rest Of the
farmers In that community, and at the
same time they are working under
very similar conditions, with similar
soil, climate, transportation facilities.
and the same markets. In conducting
farm management demonstrations,
groups Of farmers are assisted in keep
Ing records of their business. Each
farmer Is assisted In determining from
these records what labor income he re-
ceives for his years work and what
each part of his farm contributed
toward this income. At the same time
he is given certain information regard
ing how some Of his more successful
neighbors conduct their business.

l,827,572 TONS OF
PP|NGDES7ROYED
Worlds Losses by U-BOat since
War Began Told from Brit
ish Secret Figures.

Washington, March Adjudication to-
day of the long held secret official British
admiralty figures showing exactly the
total of submarine losses up to January l
and that despite anti-submarine measures
the undersea boats are destroying ships
twice as fast as the worlds shpyards are
building them. promises to be the fore
runner of some further official pronounce
ments which will bring home to America
more strikingly than ever before the
need of the bridge Of ships to France.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping board
possibly may make a statement but 1t is
certain in a speech he is to deliver in New
York Tuesday, he will give some facts
which taken in connection with the recent
declarations of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
of the British admiralty and the official
figures published here to-day by the
British embassy, will show the present
ship construction situation as clearly as
the British have shown the rate of
destruction.
The British official figures published
so unexpectedly here to-day when
everyone thought they would indefi-
nitely be withheld because of the sup
posedly valued information they might
give the Germans were not without
Ing warning they gave Of the need of
rushing ship building.
While they show more than II, 200, 900
tons OF ships destroyed since subma-
rine warfare began, and only six mil
lion tons of ships built to take their
places. they show that the rate of sub
marine destruction steadily has de-
creased from the heights it reached
when early in 1917 Germany announced
new unrestricted campaign of ruth
lessness and forced the United States
into the war.
Washington. March 21.-Secret figures Of
the British admiralty on submarine losses
and world shipbulding were made pub
lie to-day by the British embassy. They
show that from both enemy action and
marine risk to January /. 1913. allied
and neutral shipping lost since the war
began 1l,sN,572 gross tons. while the ship
yards outside the central powers were
turning out 6.606.275 tons.
The admiralty memo says that the
figures are now made public because
they will impress on the people the neces-
sity OF united action in making good the
losses by the submarines
The losses do not approach the claims
OF Germany and with 2,5S9,OOO of enemy
ships added to the output the net loss
TO world shipping, exclusive Of that of
Germany and her allies, is only 1852, 297
