GETTING WORK
ON THE FARM
DONE, DISCUSSED
Bulletin Prepared BY Leader In Farm
Management Is Interesting
to Farmers.

Cutting down labor costs and in
creasing the efficiency of labor is one
of the big problems of the Kentucky
farmer at the presen time. A good deal
of complaint is heard about high
wages which farmers are Obliged to
pay and the difficulty of finding suf-
fcient labor to get the farm work
done.
Low grades will not solve the farm
labor problem. Farmers are always
most prosperous during periods OF
high wages. The one best way to
solve the labor problem is fer each
farmer to select and proportion his
crops an dive stock and to plan and
systematic his farm work so that
each worker will accomplish more in
day than he has been accomplishing
in the past.
Some practical ways which farm
ers can use to increase efficiency and
reduce labor costs:
l. Make things handy about the
farm, so that work can be done more
quickly and easily. Keep gates and
doors hung, so that they can lie cl red
without loss of time Do this when
it is too wet to pillow or conditions are
unsuitable for other field work.
q Keep tools and equipment in
good condition. There is no pay in
having high priced hand use a iull
tool or an implement that will do only
half the work it should do
! g. Put every implement in repair
several weeks or months before it is
to be used. Order repairs early. and
avoid expensive loss of time in the
rush season when time means mona,
4. Order seeds, fertilizers and or.
er supplies in plenty of time before
they are to be used.
5. Plan ahead for each particular
job. If planting corn is the job, sec
that the planter is in working order,
that there are double trees and a
neck yoke on it, that there is an oil
can, and monkey wrench and the see I
corn is ready.
In going to the field to pillow, al ..1ys
take an extra pillow point, also a
wrench to put it on with. This will
save trip to the house, or to town
to get new point.
6. Every farmer should carry q
memorandum book in his hip pocket.
To this should be tied short leai
pencil and in it should be set down a
list of jobs to be done on rainy days
and parts of days, ready at a moments
notice The good farm manager never
loses time from field work in good
weather by doing indoor work that
could Just as well be done at times
when bad weather makes work in the
field impossible

mankind is absolutely dependent upon
the application of the Interpretation
of life, which regards 1t as sacred
trust from God to be consecrated to
moral and spiritual purposes de-
clared the bishop.
"One can not contemplate the con.
dition of European nations today
without recurrence in this thought
to that description Of the physical
world contained in the first chapter
of Genesis, The earth was without
form and void and darkness was upon
the face Of the deep A condition Of
greater chaos than now exists could
hardly be imagined. Victorious armies
that stand for the principles Of de-
mocracy and the conclusions Of
peace conferences-if they arrive at
onclusions-afford temporary relief,
but the basic principle Of society Ii
the Christian principle Of service.
1T is not strange that such . move
ment as Bolshevism should have
come out OF Russia" said Bishop An
derson. Russia has been brutally
victimized. The victory Of Germany
over Russia was not military vic
tory. 1t was victory Of deception
and chicanery. The Russian soldiers
had nothing to fight with but stones
and sticks and their fists. Is 1t any
wonder that they became desperate?
Russia needs rational rallying
point; needs sympathy and direction.
The immediate solution Of these prob
lens from a militaristic point Of view
is In the hands OF the strategists Of
the allied armies. But the remedy
which comes from the long look at
the conditions of Europe is not mill
taristic, but moral and spiritual"
Bishop Anderson declared that the
Methodist Centenary movement had
been born To furnish the principles
of permanent and enduring peace in
the gift OF the gospel to men and
nations. The problem OF life is too
much for human thinking and human
sndeavor. Christ alone Is adequate

complish its purposes through educa-
ton, legislation and law enforcement.
While in Frankfort promoting GER
tain bills during the winter of 1918,
the committee found before the Cen
eral Assembly three bills proposing to
change the provisions of Section 1855
Kentucky Statutes. To the commit
tee the present law seemed better
than any of the proposed changes and
the proponents Of the bills were ask
ed to withdraw them. The authors of
the bills acceded to the request and
asked the Women's committee to draw
bill that its members could endorse.
The committee replied that it could
not in thre name of the State Fedora
ton sponsor any bill that had not been
passed upon by the Federation at its
annual meeting, and asked for two
years to study the workings of the
present law, as cares Of its violation
passed through our courts, with the
purpose of using the results of such
study as basis for recommending or
not changes to be made at the 1920
session of the General Assembly.
In pursuance of this purpose COM
mittee of women will attend the trial
of the alleged case of violation Of the
Statutes on the Steamer Homer Smith
on or about April 81, 1918.
The Grand Jury returned an indict-
ment at the September term. At the
request of the defense the case was
continued to the December term of
the court, and in December the de-
tense again asked for continuance to
the March term, so that year lack
ing four days will have elapsed be-
tween the bringing Of the charge and
the trial of the case, now set for $3.50
a. m Thursday, April II.
All mothers and those charged with
the care of young persons will do well
to attend this trial and help the COM
mittee get the lessons the case has to
teach. ~"
