During the school year 1917 and 1918,
I visited every school in the county at
least once, some twice and a few more
times. Needed improvements are spg-
gested and reports of such visitations
are recorded. One teacher s examina-
ton was held. The fall examination
was not held due to the valuable eouf~e
offered by the Joint County TRAINING
School Summer session. The teachers
take advantage of such an opportunity.
/ have spared no efforts to develop
our country schools. Our motto is:
"Our Country Schools Needs just as
Good Equipment as do tie City
Schools Let us hope that our edpca-
tional institutions shall come up to the
full measure of their opportunity to
turn our minds towards righteousness
and wisdom. / would urge all people
to continue to give generous support to
their school of all grades.
And now may I rely upon this Honor
able Body of representatives, for the
same generous support and thanking
you for the Office equipment and ex-
Tpense allowed me in developing the
various activities now being worked out
in the country schools to better fit them
for their Intended responsibilities.

Boys and Girls Club Work.

come to realize that it is much easier
to interest farm boys and girls in linz
proved farm practices than it is. to get
the interest Of their parents. Tt is
hoped that parents may be induced by
the children to adopt improved meth
DDS and new ideas. Accordingly, pota-
to, corn and poultry clubs were or
gained. 315 children planted one peck
of select certified early Ohio seed po-
tatoes, 303 children grew Pedigree
Golden Glow Corn, and 1873 children
Matched and cared for one of the stand
ard variety of chickens. These child
rem are required to do all the work con-
nected with the raising Of the crops, the
care of the chickens, to exhibit sam
Iple Of the crops raised, to exhibit two
birds at the Poultry Show and to
write composition telling of all their
operations
This work is educational in every
way for the children learn to know good
seed, learn to plant the seed, care for
the crops and finally pick out the best
for exhibit purposes. They get the ex-
perience of setting hen, caring for
and feeding the hen and little chickens.
They acquire an interest in their work
which means that they will like farm
life better and will want to stay
on the farm.
Seed Distribution.
100 bushels of Marquis wheat raised
by Kenosha County farmers was pur-
chased and resold to farmers who
needed seed wheat.
$50 bushels of South Dakota grown
Wis. No. seed corn was sold in the
county. Good stands Of corn were OBJ
tanned and the crop matured fairly well.
Alfalfa Demonstrations.
Five ] acre alfalfa plots .were seeded
in the following towns: Pleasant Prai-
Irie, Paris, Bristol and Salem. Four
kinds of seed were used In order to
demonstrate the comparative hardness
of the seed. One-half of the area was
treated with pulverized limetone, to
show the need Of lime for the sue
cessful growth of alfalfa.
Farm visits.
The County Agricultural Agent was
called upon to visit quite a large num-
Der Of farms during the past year, but
ne also made many visits on his own
initiative as farmers still do not make
as much use of the County Agricultural
Agent as they might. 491 farms were
visited during the year and 3645 miles
Travelled to do this work. The follow

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE FOR
EX-SOLDIERs AND SAILORS.
Soldiers and Sailors! Keep Your Gov
eminent Insurance.

The time for converting government
insurance into a permanent form is ap-
preaching. The plans are formulated
and the government is only delaying
the opening of conversion until every
little detail is perfected. The govern
ment Is plan is to have the system
working SO smoothly that man may
send in his premium and his policy will
be sent to him within a week.
This insurance is the result of a
great deal Of labor and effort on the
part of some of the biggest insurance
men in the United States. 1t is the
best insurance a man can bug and is
recognized and approved OF by all the
leading old line companies.
The government is offering six differ
ent policies which embrace substantial
ly all insurance. They are: Ordinary
Life, Twenty and Thirty Payment Life,
Twenty and Thirty Year Endowment,
and Endowment at the age OF sixty-two.
The present term insurance may be con-
verted into any one of these policies
or may be split up into any number OF
them. This conversion may take place
any time within five years after peace
is officially proclaimed.
II the present term insurance has
been lapsed through lack of informa-
ton or any other reason it may be re-
instated by paying all back premiums.
No medical examination is required.
All ex-soldiers and sailors who are in
terested in obtaining information con-
eern;np their government insurance
may do so by calling or applying to

big scenes of life are their historic and
memorial buildings. The buildings once
one has seen them are a knockout.
The travel from here to Paris is not
as comfortable as on the trains in the
States. But since that we were going
to Paris we did not mind the way c
had to travel at all.
