WHAT YOUR BOND WILL DO

The farmer who purchases a $1,000
Liberty Bond need not think he has
not done anything toward directly pro-
viding the War Department with the
means to defeat the Kaiser and his
armies When the War Department
gets $1,000 1t has the funds where
with to equip 25 soldiers and furnish
them with two rifles each. These 25
men may, by holding a shell hole or a
section Of a trench, decide q battle
that will decide this war In our favor.

EXTENDS HIS APPRECIATION

To the Citizens of st. Francois Co.:
Before leaving my post in st. Fran
co.'s county as County Agricultural
Agent, | feel that word from me is
due the people of this county who have
been SO good to me during my stay
here.
1t was with considerable reluctance
that | finally consented to leave this
work to accept the work Of Assistant
State Leader. did so only after IT
had been clearly pointed out to me
that l could be of greater service to
our country.
/ do not feel that this is the time
when we should bubble over our po-
sitions and try to evade the harder
tasks. AS man of draft age and in
the Government service, | feel that 1t
is my duty to go where my authorl-
ties consider can be of the most SER
vice, regardless of any personal dis
advantages or inconveinences that
such transfer may present.
Nv work in St. Francois county has
been real pleasure to me, because OF
the splendid spirit of cooperation
that | have met with everywhere. In
my work with the farmers l have al
wavs found them responsive to every
suggestion. AS Chairman of the
County Council of Defense, ! have
found the members of that loyal body
splendid co-workers and the people OF
the county ready to carry out every
request made by the Council: With
these pleasant memories of the peo-
pie and my work here, it can easily
be understood that it is indeed nara
for me to give up the work.
In my new work as Supervisor OF
County Agents in the several counties
of Southeast Missouri, | feel that /
can still be of, service to this county,
for it will be my plan to tie up the
Farm Bureaus and County Agents OF
this section into one large family,
thereby bringing about greater eff
cheney in agriculture. st. FRANCOIS
county belongs to this territory and
| expect to make my temporary mead
quarters here.
In turning over my work to Mr.
Glenn S. Hensley, who now becomes
your County Agent, ! can assure nm
he could have found no finer, more CO.
operative, more progressive people
anywhere with whom to work. / also
congratulate the County on securing
Mr.. Henslay. He is a splendid public,
spirited hard working young man and
am sure he will make good in every
way.
Please remember, when st. Fran
co.'s county can use me in my present
capacity, am at your service.
Respectfully,
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-05-03

49,

The Orchard Specialist, Mr.. C. G..
Hamilton, of the College of Agricul-
ture, has been working with the Coun-
ty Agent and helping to direct the APP
plication of the Calyx Cup Spray to
the demonstration orchards. All of
the apple trees in this vicinity are
ready for the Calyx Cut Spray, and
the application should be made as
soon as possible. The same mixture
for spray is used for this application
as for the one just preceding.
Winter Killing of Peach Trees.
Numerous peach trees in the county
have been seriously injured by the
severe winter weather. Mrs George
K. Williams of Pennington has nice
young peach orchard which has been
very seriously injured by the cold. A
number of the trees put out their
leaves early in the spring and after a
few days growth died out. These
trees had just sufficient vitality to
start their leaves and could not go
farther. There is practically nothing
that can be done to save these trees
now. Some orchard men who knew
that their trees had frozen have cut
them off below the snow line in the
hope of starting a new tree from the
water sprouts that will come later.
Immunized Pigs for Pig Club
Members.
DR.. Roher, Federal Veterinarian,
and DR.. billiard, State Veterinarian,
have immunized 81 head of sucking
pigs for Mr.. A. J. Young These are
part of the pigs which Mr.. Young in
tends to furnish the Boys and Girls
Pig Clubs. DIR. Roher and DR.. billiard
are furnishing their services free as
an aid to the Boys and Girls Club
work in the county. Their only charge
was the cost of the serum.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially care
full and should eat slowly and rnasti-
cate their food thoroughly. 1t is also
important that they keep their bow

WITH THE EDITORS
WHY WE SUPPORT DOYLE.

Why should The Forum, a republican news
paper, support S. J. Doyle, democrat, for COVER
nor of North Dakota?
Perhaps there are some voters not familiar
enough with the politics of North Dakota to see
the consistency for themselves, so it is fair
enough question, and should have straghtfor-
ward answer.
To begin with, party labels have no meaning in
North Dakota these days.
Note how the Nonpartisan league candidates are
running on the republican ticket in North Dakota
on the democratic ticket in Idaho; on whiskey
ticket in Minnesota; and on national party ticket
in Montana.
The Nonpartisans are the cuckoos of politics
They build no nests of their own; have no per-
manent lodgings They steal the party organiza-
tons they find most convenient and use them as
long as they are of value. In North Dakota they
have stolen the republican nest. The Forum pre-
fers to roost with the other birds while they are
in it.
The issue then is not one Of party labels, but
one OF principles. 1t lis an issue between democ-
racy and socialism. There il only one choice for
an American to make.
We can't support Governor Frazier because he
stands for removing the limit from the bonded In
debtedness Of North Dakota; for removing all re-
strictions ON how the money shall be spent; for
removing all bars 10 equality ia taxation and put
ting into effect the single tax On and; for House
Bill Al and ~ that It fnpaes; for removing Nh
safeguards thst stend between the public funds
and the Tornaey E&nG-FasSe Forum.
