PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Farm Implements Depreciate More In
Value From Neglect Than From
Actual Use,

Farm machinery deprecfates In value
more rapidly from poor care than from
actual use. That Is, larger part Of
the 10 per cent annual depreciation is
caused by exposure than by use.
4 160-acre farm needs about $1,000
worth of machinery. Ten per cent
depreciation means 500 every year and
more than $50 Of this is lost through
lack Of care. Sheds for this machin-
cry would cost about $500, which at 6
per cent year would mean $12. The
difference between $50 and S12 cannot
all be credited to profit, for part Of
the care of machinery lies IN labor and
material. Still there would be fair
margin. Housing. repairing at the
proper time, and painting the wooden
parts are three essentials IN the care
Of machinery.

Automobile Boom Reported In the Col

The rse Of motorcara in Hongkong

automobile boom In the colony. The
colonial government, recognizing the
increased demand for automobile roads
as 4 means Of healthful recreation. and
also as d means of opening up resi-
DENTAL sections not now in use, has
announced q comprehensive policy of
road building and road Improvement,

BUREAUS FOR FARM
Organizations Thai Make County
Agents Effective.
PIX FOR SECURING SUPPORT
Ideas Outlined in Guide Recently Pub
Iished by Agricultural Department
Adapted to Various condi-
tons.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculturel
The counties which have been most
active in cooperating with their coun-
ty agents are, with rare exceptions,
the ones which are reaping the great
est benefits from their services. Ex-
perience shows that help and advice
Of the farmers themselves are neces-
sary to the success of county agent
work, and the support Of both rural
and urban population is needed. The
means of securing this local support
which has been found most effective
In the extension work in the northern
and western states, officials of the
United States department of agricul-
ture say, is to establish a county or
ganization usually known as farm
bureau" In a guide recently pub
Iished by the department and known
as Handbook of Farm Bureau Organi-
cation for County Agricultural
Agents" detailed suggestions are Civ
en- for forming such an organization.
The plan outlined can be adapted read
ly to the various conditions of differ
ent counties. 1t may be established
In counties having inefficient organiza-
lions. in counties contemplating the
employment of an agent. and in places
where the agent is now unsupported
by a local county organization.
Functions OF Organization.
The chief functions of county or
ganization, as outlined in the hand
book are:
1. To coordinate the efforts of ex-
listing local agricultural forces, either
organized or unorganized, and to or
ganize new lines Of effort. It does not
supplant any existing organizations or
compete with them. but establishes a
clearing house through which all may
Increase their efficiency without In any
way surrendering their individuality.
2. To bring to the agent the coun-
sci and cooperation Of the best farm
ers in the county in planning and exc
cutting an agricultural Improvement
program
3. To furnish the necessary local
machinery for easily and quickly
reaching every community in the conn
~ with information of value to that
community or to the county as a
whole.
4. To encourage self-help through
developing and exercising leadership
In the rural affairs of each community.
5. To reveal to all the people Of the
county the agricultural possibilities Of
the county and how they may De real

VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT
 AGE TO BE RAISED
ALL MEN OVER 40 so ENLISTED WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO NON -COMBATANT SER
 VICE.

Washington May 24-Another move toward full utilization of the Icountrys man-power was made today whom Secretary Baker sent to con gross the draft of bill proposing to raise the maximum age limit for vol uutary enlistment in the army from 40 10 55 years. All men over 40 so enlisted would be assigned to non- combatant service.
 In a letter to Speaker Clark asking that the bill be pushed Secretary Baker said:
 Every man above the age of 40 years who is enlisted in non combat ant branches of the service will make valuable assistants to the staffs.
 Many men whose long experience as mechanics and artisans will make them particularly valuable to the various corps and departments may be thus secured Instead of younger men without such experience and the efficiency of the staff corps and the staff departments will be thus in- creased"
 There are probably 7,500.0O0 men between the ages of 40 and 5 and many thousands of them have already attested their desire to serve by bonn barding the department with applica e tions While the great majority of men of this class undoubtedly will be restrained from enlisting by family and business ties. the number at lib- erty to join the colors is expected to be more than sufficient to meet the purpose in view.
 Staff positions include many duties 1 behind the front.

AMERICAN AIRMEN NOW
 HELP TO GUARD PARIS
Germans Under Cover of a Heavy Barrage Made a Raid on the British Lines and Captured Prisoners-5ia Guns of Both Sides in Action at Many Points

New York, May 24 the battle zones in France there have been nu- merous local arrangements, partically in the Somme sector. The Germans, under cover of heavy artillery bar rage made a raid on the British lines at Bucquoy and on the line to tho southwest of Arras and captured prisoners.
 In the Kemmel region and on both sides of the I.ls river, in the Flanders tillery firing while on the lScarpe river in the Arras, between Moreuil and Mont Didier, the big guns have been in action, according to the off cial statements.
 The remarkable aeiral activity along the west battle front continues with both sides participating in air fighting and bombing operations. If the Germans repeat their attempts to bofbard Paris from the air, Ameri- cans will feel keen interest in the attacks because American aviators now are aiding in the defense of the French capital
 The German troops that faced the American troops along the Toul sec. tor have been replaced. For soma time the Teutons there were units that had been withdrawn from Rus sia. This now have been replaced by Bayarian reserve regiments. 1t is probable that the men withdrawn have been hurried north to partici- pate in the coming renewal of the great German offensive in Picardy and Flanders.
 In spite of Berlins promises that the forces would not penetrate fur. ther into Russia, Q large Teuton army is reported to be within 25 miles of Kursk, in the Dnieper-Don region.
 That German submarines are Oper- ating off the south coast of Ireland Is evidenced by the sinking of the steam CT lnnlsearra, of Cork. with loss of life.
 David Lloyd George. speaking at bdinburg, has said that the subma rine Is still unconquered but that 1t Is no longer a vital menace to the entente allies. He said that the U-Boats are being destroyed faster than they can be rebuilt by Germany while the allies are building ships faster than the submarines are sink ing them.
