WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent Glenn S. Hensley.)
Progress of the Farm Bureau.

Progress of the Farm Bureau.
A year or so ago it was difficult for
the County Agent to secure men who
would help in carrying out his dem
onstrations. A little over a year ago
Mr.. Foard, former County Agent in
this equity, spent over a week in locat-
ing four men who would spray their
orchards according to his recommend
atoms but the men were secured and
results We're made manifest, so that
this last spring it was not so diff
cul to secure orchard co-operators.
This has been very bad year for OBJ
tanning results from spraying. The
excessive rains at spraying time
washed off enough of the spray to al
low some of the fruit on the sprayed
trees to be injured by insects but in
spite of these rains the results of
spraying are quite evident, so evident
that two men who have never sprayed
before, have already called at the
County Agents office of their own
free will and asked that their orchards
be used as demonstration orchards
next year.
virginia soy Beans.
Last spring number. of different
kinds of seeds were secured from the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture to be tried out under our con-
ditions. One of these samples of seed
was Virginia Soy Beans. Mr.. Chas.
Schuttler of Pennington planted
portion of the sample. He thinks the
new variety will prove excellent for
hay. 1t has a rather fine stem with
tendency to vine like COW peas. 1t is
also producing fine amount of seed.
Will Dairying Pay?
We often hear farmers say that
dairying does not pay on the farm. 1t
is true that in many cases it does not,
but in many instances it does. The
first part of the week, Mr.. VIM. Kor-
Der, who lives south of Pennington,
came into the Farm Bureau Office and
laid down two cream checks made out
by the Schramm Creamery, for $48.-
SIS. Mr.. Korber said that this money
was for two weeks butter fat from
six cows. Three of these cows are
-year-old heifers. During the two
weeks that this cream was sold, Mr..
Korber churned a gallon of cream for
the family use. This is pretty good
record, considering the fact that pas
lures were injured during the sum-
mer by the dry weather.

THE RULING PASSION

Though admittedly facing the poss;-
bic failure Of all their ambitious plars
OF conquest, the Germans still exhibit
t. cir ruling passion and c!laract,-is-
TIC predatory instinct. They can't see
now they can possibly give up Ant
wverp and declare that they must l,esp
their grip on it whatever happens.
According to tho Cologne Gazetf.. 4 Q
port of Antwerp is Indispensable" to
Germany end It's loss would be "a3
lrroparable blow" 1t would appea~
that even at the outset the Germans
coveted the Belgian coast moro tbo.,
any other territory that they planned
to stcci, and his calls to mind Wiz
some of us hav. long suspeetcd-th,e
tho Germans swoopeG down or Bel
gum not merely because it offered a
short road into France but because ~
conquest CT the little country was ono
of their prime objects il going into

The invasion of Germany is race--
ssary not only in order to force a rca1
ly issue but in order to make the
Germans realize what the actual BIT
terness of the war of their own manu-
facture really is They need to suf-
Ter all that they have so eagerly made
others suffer in order that. like the

ty is built upon the proposition that
the criminal must suffer in order that
he may force himself to desist from
evil, and no outlaw nation ever re-
quired q more complete application Of
this wholesome principle than Ger
