WATCH YOUR FURNACE.
Don't Waste Fuel Thru Waste Of Heal
on Spring Days.

on Spring Days.
Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March 15.-Unless extra care
lis taken these spring days, the home
furnace is certain to waste a lot Of
heat. Less air must be allowed to en-
ter the fire box. Tests at the engineer
ing experiment station at Iowa State
College show that from two to three
times as much air as necessary passes
thru the furnace and into the chimney,
carrying away 20 to 30 per cent Of
heat which is wasted.
The following furnace suggestions
are offered by the engineering expert
at this season:
1. Stop all leaks that may admit
air, above the crate, into the fire cham
Der and smoke passages Of the fur
mace.
2. Keep the fire door. its damper
and the air-blast damper closed. OK
cept that some air may be admitted
thru the damper or air-5last Tor few
minutes just after firing cresh soft
coal onto red hot bed OF GOALS.
3. Keep the CRATE we'll covered with
ashes and fuel Do not shake down
ashes when a hole pokel thru them
will admit enough air to develop suit
cient heat from fuel rafed into anu
around the hole. If the CRATE is too
large, fuel will be saved by brickins
off some of the back part of the gra'c.
4. Check the fire by means OF ASH
door and smoke pipe hampers just as
soon as the house lis warm Never
open the fire door or lis damper I"
check the fire except as Il very last
c0rt

PRACTICAL FARM MEN
EMPLOYED AS AGENTS.
One Hundred Now Engaged in Iowa
Have Had Farm Experience Since
Royhood-M embership Of Farm Blu
reaus Ranges From ESQ to Over 800
Success Won Thru Cooperation.
pecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March 15.-Every county in
Iowa now has county agent and Iowa
is the first state north of the Mason
and Dixon line to complete it's county
agent quota.
Last May, when representatives from
the United States department Of agri-
culture met in Chicago with extension
LADDERS from some dozen northern
states to decide whether county agents
could be placed in every county, Iowa
stepped forward and said, IF Uncle
Sam asks the farmers of Iowa to form
farm bureau organizations and get
county agents, they will do it, On
their retuIn from the convention r..
X. Bliss, director of the agricultural
extension department at Iowa State
College, and J. w. Coverdale. state
leader of county agents, planned to
organize a farm bureau in every coun-
ty by Feb. /. They accomplished this
by Jan. 25. They then decided that
every county should have an agent be-
fore spring began. This has been done.
Iowa Has 100 Agents.
There are just 100 county agents
now on the job, Pottawattamie county
having two agents. Every one of these
agents has had practical farm expert
ence since he was II years of age.
The average age Of the 100 is 80 years.
The membership of the farm bureaus
in the various counties ranges in num-
Der from 220 to over 900, Sioux and
Shelby counties both having over 900
members. More than $4,000 farmers OF
Iowa now belong to the bureaus and
the membership is increasing con-
Istantly In all but few counties each
member Of the bureau has pledged s.
year as his membership fee.
Cooperation Brings Success.
The work Of organizing the farm
bureaus is an example of the co-opera-
ton of the various organizations of the
state. The state council of defense.
the war emergency food committee. the
women's clubs and organizations, the
Grange. the American Society Of
