setting a bad example for the future.
The world is indebted to Herbert
Hoover more than any other man in
all the world save one-the president
who made it possible for him to serve
for the work he has done and is
doing. He is not only wise enough to
render incalculable service, but he is
learned enough in the ways of the
wiley politicians to- answer their
questions and anticipate them before
they are asked.-Pratt Daily Tribune.

BOYS MUST NOW REGISTER

Those Becoming of Age Since June
S, 1917, To Be Listed.
Immediate registration for military
service of all men who have become
twenty-one years old since the date
of the first draft registration, June s,
1917, is urged by Provost Marshal
General Crowder in his annual report
to Newton D. Baker, secretary of
war. If this is done, and similar reg
istrations held each year, seven hun
bred thousand physically fit men will
be available for service every twelve
months. This would also relieve the
necessity for taking men from the de-
ferred exemption classes.

CORNSTALK DISEASE

L. C. Christie, our agricultural
I agent, is in receipt of circular letter
from F. B. Williams, county agricul-
tural agent of Marshall county, Kan
sas, concerning "cornstalk disease" in
that county. AS Seward county is
troubled with the same disease this
fall, this letter may be of interest to
farmers. 1t reads as follows
eve have lost in the neighborhood
of 100 head of cattle in this county
alone in the past three weeks and the
reports are still coming in. The deaths
are occurring only in cattle that have
been turned into the stalk fields and
after they are once down there seems
to be nothing that we can do for
them.
Samples Of blood and tissues have
been sent to the laboratories both in
Kansas City and at Manhattan and
they have both found the Hemorrhag-
ic Septicemia organism present but
whether this is the direct cause of
death or whether it is only contrib
uting cause has not been fully de-
termined.
eff it is Hemorrhagic Septicemia,
vaccination will in all probability
prove effective but we are inclined to
believe that immature cornstalks and
those that took a decided second
growth are poisoning the cattle.
"The safest plan to follow is to
keep the cattle out of the stalks until
we are sure that there is no more
danger. 1t is the opinion of the vet
Urinary department at the college
that after we have had some severe
freezing and thawing weather or af-
ter a heavy rain or snow the fields
will be safe to turn in to.
"The following is an abstract from
letter to DR.. Wempe from the Jen-
sen-Salsbery laboratories at Kansas
City:

it is. We claim nothing. In other

If we know that we are dealing with

ately with the results above stated.
"'You ask another question: How
soon it would be safe to turn the
cattle into the stalks?' l re-affirm if |
the stalks are infected with Hem

able to leave them right in there. On

different then it would not be safe be-
cause we do not claim to protect |
against cornstalk disease and we are
still in the dark on the question above
alluded to as to whether they are the
same or not

Club Boy Purchases Farm.

Willie Johnston, q member of sew
eral Of the boys agricultural clubs in
Coal county, Oklahoma, has made
enough money for his mother, since
his fathers death, to buy farm. At
the same time he has been helping
other boys of his neighborhood to grow
better crops. Maybe there is a. les
son In Willie Johnston's experience
for other boys-whether on the farm
or IN town-who would like to enroll
In club work. Ask your county agent,
the state agricultural college, or the
United States department of agricul-
ture to tell you how sou can enlist in
such service and make money.
In the fall Of 1916, when his father
died, Willie was left to support his
mother and five younger sisters. The
FAMILY was farming rented land and
had no money with which TO buy a
home. Willie was fourteen years old.
Early In 1915, w. T. Yoakum, the coun.
~ agent, had enrolled him in the Corn
club, and that year he won a prize
at the county fair.

TO
AID The Farmer
Country Divided Into Divisions to
Handle Man Power.
SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Subject Which Agricultural Depart
ment Has Given More Thought to
Than Any Other, According
to Secretary Houston.

! The farm labor problem has pre-
sented and continues to present many
difficulties, Secretary Houston said the
other day. 1t is one of the two or three
subjects to which the department has
given more thought than to any 9th
ers, he said, not only since this coun
try entered the war, but for many
months prior to that time. There has
been before the farmers the question
year-round skilled laborers and also
Of meeting the urgent needs at the
planting and harvesting periods. Farm
ers in the neighborhood. of cities,
where there has been great redirection
of labor and capital, and also where
the environments and other special en-
terprises have been under way, have
been greatly embarrassed, Secretary
Houston said.
Labor Survey First.
Constructive effort, according to the
secretary, is needed along several
lines, which may be briefly stated as
follows: A systematic survey of the
farm labor situation to ascertain the
possible needs Of farmers and to deter
mine ways Of meeting them, the pro-
motion of fuller cooperation in the
utilization Of labor among farmers in
the same community, the further de-
velopment of machinery for assisting
In the transfer Of labor, making avail
able labor which heretofore has not
been fully or regularly utilized, the
releasing of men for agricultural pur-
poses as far as possible by replacing
them with women, the largest possible
production and the fullest use of farm
labor-saving machinery.
To cooperate effectively in the farm
labor problem with the United States
department of labor, state councils
of defense, state commissioners of ag-
riculture and labor, and other official
state and local agencies concerned
with supplying needed farm labor, the
department of agriculture has d.
vided the country into four farm labor

Somebody wants to know the value

obtained in a season from good pas
ture land, but this is above the aver
age. 1t has been shown possible to
produce value in dairy products and

but this should not be counted on

SELECT EGGS FOR SHIPPING
Avoid Those Of Thin Shells, Unusually
Long or Irregular in Shape
Wrap in Paper.

In selecting eggs for shipping by
mail, thin-shelled and unusually long
or irregular shaped eggs should be
avoided. Each egg should be wrapped
in sufficient paper to hold 1t snugly in
its own individual compartment in the
c0ntainer.

EXPERTS TO AID
'WOOD INSTEAD OF
COAL" MOVEMENT,

Ten experts of the forest serv-
ice, United States department
Of agriculture, have been assign
ed to cooperate with the
fuel administration to relieve
the fuel shortage in the eastern
states. They will give their at
tentiOn to ways of increasing
the use of firewood, in order to
lessen the demand for coal.
They will demonstrate to farm
ers and other woodland owners
methods Of cutting by which
firewoOd can be obtained with
the best results to the timber
growth. Plans for securing and
distributing firewood will be
worked out. 1t is hoped to es-
tablish municipal wood yards at
various places and to decide
upon satisfactory methods for
utilizing waste from sawmills
and other woodworking plants.
A special appeal will be made
through directors of extension
work in the various states to the
farmers to cut wood this winter
while other work Is slack.

the work Of the departments farm
labor work in single states or two or
more adjoining states. These farm
help specialists will cooperate directly
with state agencies, central and local
employment agencies of the United
States department of labor, and with
the county agents and community farm
help committees which will be charged
directly with meeting labor needs in
their special localities.
The farm help specialists through
preliminary labor surveys will en-
deavOr to ascertain In advance the
prospective needs for extra labor in
each community. They will work with
state and local agencies to supply la-
Dor deficiencies from local supplies if
possible, or from the nearest point
where labor can be secured outside the
community in need Of assistance. All
local sources of labor first will be
drawn upon and only when the fullest
possible utilization of local labor
proves inadequate, will labor be
brought in from outside. In cases
OF necessity, however, through the de-
partment Of agriculture and the depart
ment of labor, arrangements will be
made for interstate movement of help,
in which the department of labor will
cooperate in obtaining extra labor for
farm purposes from the populous COM
munities.
1t is pointed out that the farmer in
need of labor should proceed as fol-
lows: He should report his need to
his county agent or to member of r..
community farm help committee. q
possible, his need will be supplied from
lists of men available in the county.
If local labor is inadequate, the coun-
ty agent or committee will report to
the state farm labor specialist, who,
In cooperation with the state officials,
will draw on the nearest available Ia
Dor within the state.

LABoR-SAvING MACHINERY
TO CONSERVE. MAN POWER.

One of the important, meas
ures urged by the department OF
agriculture to help meet the la
Dor needs this year is the largest
possible production and fullest
use of farm labOr-saving ma
chinery. The department has
actively interested itself in Sc
curing priority for raw mate
rails used In the manufacture Of
farm implements and also in Sc
curing favorable consideration
at the hands of transportation
committees to provide facilities
for moving the materials to the
manufacturers, and the COM
pleted products from the manu-
facturers to the distributors and
also to the farmers. Both those
dealing with priorities Of mate
rails and those dealing with pri-
critics Of transportation have
evinced a complete willingness
to assist. This is indicated by
the fact that the priorities COM
mittee Of the war industries
board gave raw materials need
ed for farm implements posi-
ton of preference over all ar
ticles except those urgently re-
quired for military and naval
purposes, and that the trans
portation committee took steps
to secure the prompt movement
Of the raw materials and Of the
manufactured articles.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was. that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.
