FARM NEWS NOTES
BY County Agent Foard

Madison County to Get County Agent.
The County Agent, at the request
of State Leader Ross, has devoted
some time during the past two weeks
in Madison county in the interest of
organizing Farm Bureau. Meet
ings have been held at nights and the
farmers have shown splendid interest
in the movement. The active farm
ers of Madison county have been push
ing the membership campaign and up
to last Saturday night there were ov-
or $50 members. 1t is expected by
Friday of this week there will be 300
members, the required number to or
ganize. So Friday, the 26th, has been
set as the day to organize the County
Farm Bureau. 1t looks good to see
our sister county getting in line and
there is no doubt that the Farm Bu
reaus of the two counties will be
great benefit to each other.
Orchard Spraying.
Most of the apple trees are now
ready for the second summer spray.
The same spray materials are used
for this spray as for the first summer
spray which was put on about three
weeks ago. This spray should be ap-
piled before the calyx cups close,
which will occur in four or five days
after the blooms fall. This is the
most important fruit spray to be ap-
piled during the season.
Soy Beans.
C. M. Long, county agent of Pettis
county, writes that few farmers in
his county have soy beans for sale
which they will put on the seed mar
ket at a slight reduction from the
prices previously quoted from this
county.
Good seed, he says, can be bought
for $3.50.
Miss Brucher Resigns from Home
Demonstration Agent in JEFF
fersOn County.
Miss Mary Brucher, who had her
headquarters at Pennington for sew
eral months as District Home Demon
stration Agent and who recently ac-
cepted an appointment as County
Demonstration in jefferson county, has
resigned her position or account of

county only short time. Miss
Brucher's health had not been good
| for some time. That was one reason
why she gave up the district work,
thinking that the county work would
not be so hard.
l am sure st. Francois county peo-
pie will be sorry to hear that Miss
Brucher has been unable to stay in
the good work she was doing.
Sugar Grove People Want Pig Club.
Sugar Grove school district has
asked for a meeting to be held at the
school house Thursday night, May 2,
for the purpose of organizing pig
club. Mr.. John Rion has agreed to
furnish the pigs for the club.

the military forces, the report asserts.
It is proposed that administration Of the
program be directed by q board consist
ing of the heads of the a ficultme, inte-
rior and labor departments.
Legislation needed TO carry out the
plan, Secretary Wilson believes, should
include these provisions;
The possibility of commercialized spec
ulation must be eliminated.
Colonists must be given access, not
only to land, but to farms; not to the
bare soil, but to fully equipped agricul-
tural plants ready to operate.
The farms themselves must be welded
together into genuine communities, by
provision for roads, schools and markets,
under the general supervision Of the fed
eral government.
Arrangements have been completed,
says the report, to care for demobilized
men who do not care TO take up farm
work so far as possible through the
United States employment service,

the secretary says;

Wilson in his annual report, made pub

linked into community groups.
The war has demonstrated the patriot

report says, and in the continuance Of

the employer and employee shown during
the war, Secretary Wilson believes, "lies

During the 10 months of American
participation in the conflict the United

meet war needs, examined almost mil
