WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
BY THE COUNTY AGENT
Charles Schuttler Terraces Hillside


Chas. Schuttler, of Pennington,
terraced badly washed field on his
farm last Tuesday. Two terraces
were constructed, thereby retaining
several acres Of land which had been
badly damaged by washing. The
County Agent, assisted by Mr.. F. A..
Nickel, Agricultural Engineer from
the College of Agriculture, laid out
the terraces. Mr.. Schuttler used a
small road grader and his tractor in
doing the work. A number of inter-
ested farmers were out to watch the
constructing of the terraces. The
construction of these terraces begins
the Farm Bureau campaign for soil
terracing in our county. The County
Agent has planned to devote large
portion Of August to soil terracing.
He will lay out the terraces and aid
in constructing them wherever there
is anyone who wishes any terracing
done. This work man be done with
pillow and drag. Interested parties
need not think they must have road
grader and tractor to do the work
thoroughly. Of course, the tractor
and grader work much faster, es-
pecially in hot weather. If you are
interested in terracing, notify the
County Agent as early as possible.
His time is limited and the first TO
call are the first to receive his SER
vices.
Get Ready to Gull Your Chickens
Numerous calls are coming to the
County Agent to get him to Gull
flocks of chickens. He has answered
these calls by saying that he could
not promise. The reason is that there
is no excuse in poultrymen not being
able to Gull their own fiocks after be-
ing once shown how, and the Farm
Bureau has worked out a plan where
by every interested person in the coun-
ty will have an opportunity to learn
how. If the Agent were to undertake
to Gull all these flocks where he has
been requested, he would do nothing
but Gull chickens from now on through
the fall. Knowing this, the Farm
Bureau has set aside all of Septcm-
Der to carry on an extensive chicken
culling campaign. Demonstrations
will be held in every community in
the county. One flock will be culled
and all the interested people shown
how to Gull their own focks when they
go home. A survey of all the COM
munities of the county showed that
were the County Agent to Gull two
f1ocks day in different communities,
he would put in six days week dur
ing all of September and this is what
has been planned. The Agent is go
ing to select some flock near the CEN
ter of each community and Gull that
flock. Notices will be given in every
way possible, as to the date of this
meeting and it will be expected that
interested people attend this demon
stration and learn how to Gull their
own flocks.

when we have Miss Tucker, Home
Demonstration Agent, with us and she
always is with US with something new
and good to tell US that will make our
work easier. Last week, she had a
bread mixer with her and showed US
how bread could be baked with so little
labor and time. She has also told us
of many other things that will save
US time, strength, and labor.
At our meeting tomorrow, when we
meet at Mrs. Casey's, she will tell us
how to balance rations so that we may
always have food that will be what
we need for the proper nourishing of
the body. think the meetings are
a help, too, in that they bring the peo-
pie together in a social way as well
as learning something each time that
will help us all. The Girls Canning
Club, too, that has been organized
here, is going to be great help in
learning our girls how fruit and vege-
tables can be properly canned. Hop
ing that all Homemakers' Clubs all ov-
er the county may be a success, | am
Sincerely,
MRS. A. C. SHICK.
Bonnie Terre, Mo-, July 90, 1919.
Dear Editor:-Thc Home Demon
stration work is fine, we sure do en-
joy the club meetings and think the
work good as we have learned great
many things.
We also like the new method of
canning and many other things that
all housewives ought to practice. We
have had some fine demonstrations on
different things by our Home Demon
stration Agent and other workers of
the Home Demonstration work and
think Miss Tucker can learn US a
great many things.
Yours sincerely,
MRS. IDA JONES,

U. S. General May
Have Been Killed by
Ukrainian Bolshevists

Washington, Oct. 3.-Of1cial infor-
nation bearing on the reported dis
appearance in Ukrainia of Brigadier
General Edgar Jadwin, representa-
tive of the American peace delega-
ton. has not been received in Wash
ington, Major General Churchill
chief of military intelligence, has
cabled the American military attache
at Warsaw. Poland, to investigate
the report.
Anxiety is felt here over the safe
ty of General Jadwin in view of the
press dispatches quoting peasants, in
the region of Fastoff as saying that
two Allied officers were captured and
shot. by Bolsheyists. The same dis,
patches said General Jadwin and
lieutenant II. A. Bowe, of the Brit
ish military control office. were
known to have been in this section
Before the war General Jadwin
served in the office of the chief of
engineers and while stationed in
Pittsburgh he organized one of the
first engineer regiments sent to
France. He was promoted to brig
adler general in the National Army
while serving in France.

RECRUITING sERGEANTs AID
IN BOSTON POLICE STRIKE

The general disgust at the wave
of leisure and lack of restraint and
order, during the strike in Boston,
Mass, made the army, with its dis
cipline and settled order, unusually
attractive and prominent. An out
standing feature of the riotous con-
dition was one oasis in the seething
disorder, in. the heart of the worst
disturbances, in Scollary Square,
Boston.
Here the most violent scenes were
enacted; here too was the army re-
cruiting office. In front of the Of
flee, several members os the recruit
ing party, old soldiers with years
of service and experience, were al
ways to be found. Although they
took no part in quelling the dis
orders, since they were Federal SOL
diers, their very presence brought to
bear, as a restraint, the atmosphere
of stability-the -honored re-
spect for law and order. incidentally
the value of discipline was empha-
sized, to the point that many men,
realizing the value, enlisted. AS
one young fellow expressed 1t: II
never thought I'd banker after strict
discipline, but after seeing these
young bullies and thugs making a
nuisance of themselves because there
weren't no police about, I've decided
that we all want badly a lot of that
self same discipline stuff, so I'm
coming into the service again to get
a whole big piece of it in my sys-
tenn. I'm for law and order, / am
and IL the army don't stand for just
that thing-I'm very much mis-
taken"
