mendations. At the beginning they
stated that they had been getting
poor results from their chickens. Their
strain of chickens was very common.
Last fall, during our culling cam
paign, Mr.. Townsey, from the Col
lege of Agriculture, culled out ap-
proximately three-fourths of their
flock. Since then they have been max
ing very good profit. This spring
they purchased 800 eggs from the
Poultry Experiment Experiment Sta
ton at Columbia so that we are sure
that their efficient management over
these chickens of a better grade will
make a fine showing in their poultry
work.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

This entire column is this week de-
voted to the State Superintendent s
discussion of the war work done by
the schools of Missouri and his atti-
tude toward the giving of instruction
in foreign languages:
1.-THE State Superintendent has new
er felt that the war work done by the
schools of the state was matter for
which they should receive special
commentator. He has rather be-
lieved it to be part of the duty of ev-
cry individual, and in performing that
duty the school children and the
school teachers of the state have done
what in reason could have been eX-
pected. He wishes, however, in this
way to express his qualification that
in every movement the government
received hearty and loyal support
from the schools. Those who are I'M
| acquainted with the facts in the case
will hardly realize that every war ac-
tivity sought the aid of the schools,
that all organizations sought the ad-
vice and assistance of the State Su-
perintendent, and that the work of his
office was more than doubled on ac-
count of necessary war activities.
"These matters caused some chang
es in the school curriculum and in the
enforcement of regulations regard
ing standard terms, qualifications of
teachers, and so forth. In all such
matters he kept as a guide what he
believed to be the best interests of the
children of the state and the welfare
of the nation.
"In the matter of the curriculum, the
war brought into prominence the
question of the English language.
Elsewhere in this report recommended
lions for needed school legislation are
made. He desires, however, to make
two recommendations in connection
with the above brief discussion of war
activities. The Legislature of Mis-
souri, should lose no time in passing a
law requiring all instruction in all ele-
mentary schools of the state to be
given in the English language only.
Under the present laws of Missouri
Ethe final authority as to what shall be
taught in the schools Of Missouri is
the local school board. Should there
be in any community settlement Of
|foreign-born people, and these for
leign-born people should be numerous
enough to control the school board, it
is possible for them to have the for
eign language taught in their element
airy schools, the foreign language
spoken on the school ground and Eng
fish practically excluded. This should
not be possible in the State of Mis-
souri,. If we are to succeed in this
great experiment in democracy, we
can succeed only through the medium
of common language. The use of
English in the schools is essential to
the building up of America. The
State Superintendent is not urging it
as part of propaganda against any
foreign nation. He does urge it as es-
sential to the very life of American
institutions. He would extend the
compulsory use Of English in the ele-
| mentary schools to all institutions in
! the state, and would not certify such

could hardly Guido the facts reported
in the case Of Private Pete Mccoy, B
Company, Tooth Infantry, of Thomas,
Ky. The Distinguished Service Cross
has just been bestowed upon him by
our Government for extraordinary
bravery" None will deny that he de-
serves it.
On Sept. 20, near Bellicourt, he was
surrounded by seven Germans. Did
he surrender? lie did not! He was
Kentuckian of the old stock. Though
armed only with his bayonet and one
hand grenade, he gave battle. At the
end of the transaction there were sew
en- dead Germans on the ground.
Not satisfied with that, he went for
ward, captured four enemy machine
gun emplacements and marched sew
enteen German prisoners back to our
lines. Just to finish his busy day he
again advanced, and rescued wound
ed officer. There is no telling what
he might have done next, but Germans
suddenly became very scarce.
These facts appear in the official
citation.

STOCK JUDGING CONTEST
AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

In the Twelfth Annual Short Course
Live Stock Judging Contest, held re-
Gently at the close of the Short Course
in Agriculture at the University of
Missouri, the following prizes were
awarded:
The Caldwell Angus cat
tie medal was won by Thomas Wade of
Laclede, Mo. This medal was offered
by Caldwell and Sons, of Burlington
Junction, Mo-, whose herd has been
the most consistent winner in Amer
lea for the past four years.
The Harrison Mule Judging medal
was won by Frank Young of Alton,
Mo. 1t was offered by T. D. Harrison
of McCredie, Mo-, one of Missouri's
most prominent and successful mule
feeders and dealers. Mr.. Young re-
turns to his own farm in Oregon
county to take up farming operations.
The National Duroc-Jersey Swine
Association trophy was awarded to N.
L. Russell, of Chilhowee, Mo. This
trophy was offered by the National
Duroc-Jersey Swine Breeders Asso-
citation, with headquarters at Peoria,
Illinois.
The Sherwood Hampshire Sheep
medal was won by V. c. Owen of AL
drich, Mo-, who also made the highest
score on all classes of live stock in
this contest. This medal was offered
by the we'll known breeder and eXhib-
itor Of Hampshire sheep, Frank Sher-
wood, of Shelbyville, Mo-, whose flock
has been prominent in American
prize lists for the past seven years.
The Colonel Gross Draft Horse
Judging medal was won by J. w,
Wallace of Ewing, Mo This medal
was offered by Colonel NJ. P. Gross of
Kansas City, Mo-, one of Americas
leading auctioneers, who is giving his
attention not only to purebred live
stock, but to auction sales on the OPP
en- market as we'll.
The Dewitt c. Wing prizes, are Of
fered by Dewitt c. Wing, Associate
Editor of the Breeders Gazette, to
the students showing the greatest
proficiency in the fitting of animals
for exhibition and in the exhibition OF
animals.
In this contest each class of four
animals was in charge of committee
OF four-year students. The judges
passed upon the work done in prepar-
ing for exhibition and exhibiting, and
awarded the prizes in the following
manner:

hibiting the hogs-J. F. Richards, Jr.

compulsory use to the public schools
alone. In the above discussion he
wishes to make it clear that he means
the use of the English language as a
language of instruction. In other
words, history, arithmetic, geography,
and other subjects should be taught in
the English language. There are in
the United States thousands of COM
munities whose children attend schools
in which instruction is given in the
common school branches in German,
or Russian, or Swedish, or some other
foreign tongue. This should not be
possible in Missouri. The only way
absolutely to prevent the possibility
Of such a condition is the enactment
of law requiring all instruction in
the elementary schools to be given in
the English language.
ale would not entirely exclude
foreign languages from the curricu-
lum of high schools, colleges, or uni
versities. For students who expect to
pursue their academic studies beyond
the high school, and for those who ex-
pect to engage in the commerce Of
the world which is opening up mar
kets hitherto closed to us it is neces-
sary that more than one language
shall be learned, but no one should be
allowed to study foreign language
until such one has good working
knowledge of English and until he
shows himself thoroughly American"

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
(By the County Agent.)
Lice and Little Chicks.

Few stop to consider that less than
Ia half dozen head lice will either kill
little chick or stunt it in such a
way that it never natures profitably.
Lice breed more prolificly in warm
weather and the ravagcs on late hatch
ed chicks are more deadly than with
early Matched chicks. This does not
mean that early chicks may not be in
Tested with lice, but when found they
are more easily controlled.
Treat the sitting hen with Sodium
FIuoridc any time during the first two
weeks of incubation as described in
Bnllctin SO1 (copy of which can be Sc
cured at County Agents office) and
1t is rare case where chicks become
Infested.
a In case lice are found on the chick,
grease it's head and throat, with
touch under each wing, of either lard
or olive oil.

Poultry Co-operatOrs for the
Coming Year.
# The following people are co-operat-
ing with the Farm Bureau in caring
for their poultry the coming year.
These co-operators agree to follow
the recommendation of the Farm Blu
5reau in caring for their chickens and
to keep accurate records on the cost
of feeding their chickens and on all
eggs and poultry eaten or sold from
The fiocks. The College of Agricul-
lure furnishes all report blanks and
feach month sends out a summary OF
results obtained by other co-operators
sin the State and makes timely sugges-
:stions as to the best c?re of the poul-
try flock. The County Agent does not
have quite as many co-operators as
Ehe would like to have in the poultry
work and would be glad to secure
some additional focks. The only cost
attached to this work is little better
care than you may Lave been taking
of your flock before. Accurate rec
BIRDS are kept on the cost of feeding
and we have yet to have a single CO.

figures has not made money by TAX
