MODELLING AGRICULTURE

Litchfeld Comm county agent originated
an interesting plan for an agricultural survey.
If you want to locate supply of seed
oats, grain binder, pure-bred bull, or some
young pigs in any community in five counties
in this state, all you have to do is to walk into
the office of the state librarian at Hartford,
Conn.,, a series of cards through an electric
sorting machine, and, presto, you have the in
formation. It may sound little like the story
of Aladdin's lamp, but it is only big business
applied to farm affairs under war stress. The
council of defense took up this plan and offered
to back the farm bureaus to the limit in every
county in the state Five of the eight counties
began surveys early in March, 1918. Forty
questions, under the headings of area, crops har-
vested in 1917, crops planned to be harvested in
1918, live stock on hand, machinery on hand,
and employees, were included in the survey, and
a corps of volunteer farm census enumerators
got busy. When the survey was completed the
farm bureaus had stack of cards containing
minute information to the resources and
needs of every farm. An electric sorting ma
chine was installed in the state library, and any
fact disclosed by the survey can be made avail
able by throwing an electric switch. The
survey has been invaluable in helping Connecti-
cut to mobilize her agricultural forces for war
needs.

DIPS CHEAPER THAN TICKS

That big dividends follow investments in cat
tle-tick eradication is shown by Investigations
during the last year by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The expense of perma-
nently freeing cattle from ticks is repaid from
20 to SO times. The cost of making the neces-
sary number Of clippings varies from only Is to
80 cents for each ANIMAL and one canvass
showed an average estimated increase of 1915 in
value of the tick-free cattle. More than that
the eradication of the tick, as conducted under
Federal supervision, permits the introduction of
high-class beef and dairy cattle and the estab-
ishment of more profitable livestock industry
Emphasis is placed by the department on the
need for clear understanding of the purpose
of tick eradication and the necessity for strict
compliance with regulations to insure thorough
ness. By cooperating with the government in
the work farmers receive the numerous benefits
resulting from the opportunity for great i'm
provement in their herds.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE

The Versailles Peace Conference has all
winter job ahead of it.
There are % major problems to talk to a
finish And nobody knows how many minor
ones.
Punishment of William Hohenzollern.
Constitution of an international court for the
purpose.
Creation of League of Nations.
Abolition of CONSUMPTION in Europe.
Limitation of military and naval establish
ments.
Reparation, financial and territorial, by Ger
many.
Germanys future trade relations with the
civilized world
Recognition of Germany's form of govern
ment.
Disposal of the navy taken from Germany.
Disposal of colonies taken from Germany.
Limits of the new Poland
Limits of the Jugo-Slavia.
Future of Palestine.
Future of Constantinople and Turkey
Return of Alsace-Lorraine to France.
Return of Italia Irredenta to Italy.
Future of Albania.
Future of Armenia.
Status of Bulgaria and Greece.
Freedom of the seas.
Belgium's future status and territorial claims
Denmark's claims to North Schleswig
The Russian problem.
The claims of Japan.
If the conference settles one problem each
week it will have to talk fast and work over
time.
It took Germany 40 years to prepare for, and
81 months to lose the great war.
1t took the Jews 40 years of rambling in the
wilderness to reach the Promised Land.
The fast-growing tree roots quickly.
The quick peace always has flaws ,
This peace must be fawless if it is to lats.
Plenty of time must be taken to hammer out
good piece of work.
We can go right on making and keeping peace
at home, meanwhile.
This peace must be f1awless if it is to last.

out in the Senate the other day.
But nobody enters it looking for a fight.

eff the child has a running nose or
red eyes. or looks sick, he is put by
himself to await further examination
by the school nurse or doctor. If the
child presents symptoms Indicative Of
disease he is sent home at once.
Then a department of health medi-
cal inspector visits the home to see
whether the child is being properly
treated and isolated, Tor care Of the
disease and protection of the rest OF
the family. If the family is poor and
has no competent private physician
the department provides q doctor. If
necessary the child is sent to a hos
pital.
With these precautions we have
deemed it safer to keep the schools
open than to close them.
Probably 100000 of our million
school children come from unsanitary
and crowded homes, where the mother
is too busy to care properly for her
