AGENT HAS PRICES

Week before last this column con
tanned short article on the value
Of slagc for the feeding Of beef
cattle or the dairy herd. The
county agent is tremendously in
lcrcsted in any movement which
will enable the farmer to handle
COWS or cattle at reasonable
profit.
The farmer who has silo or
silos on his farm will have a fairly
good idea of what type he wishes
to build. The man who has just
become Interested will have a dozen
questions he wishes to ask about
concrete, tile, wooden and metal
silos. He is also anxious to know
about the cost and durability Of
each type.
The Extension Division of the
College of Agriculture has sent the
county agent a fairly complete list
of SilO manufacturers, with prices.
The farmer who wants to know
something about the cost and sizes
Of these silos can get this informa-
tion from the county agent.

BUILD YOUR COUNTRY
INTO SAFETY

The best insurance against a
growth of Anarchy is the employ
ment in profitable work of our en-
tire population.
The world is in flux. In this cru
cial hour-this plastic stage of civil
ization-we can mould America into
solid and enduring permanency of
true character; or we can let 1t be
misshapen and distorted until like
some great evil full of ugliness it be-
comes "set" and adamantine for
wrong.
If in this hour of world changes,
of false teachings, of hell-directed
activities, we leave idle bodies and
brains, we shall find the devil making
full use of them as his workshop.
We must be busy making all men
busy.
We must expand our railroads,
build a vast system of highways, inn
prove the small crossroads, pave our
streets, build dwellings by the hun
dreds of thousands, that for every
family there shall be the opportunity
for a dwelling with modern conven-
fences. Baltimore, for instance, has
not for many years permitted
single dwelling to be built without
bathroom and it's sanitary advan-
tages. Other cities and towns must
do the same Farmhouses, even of
the poorest tenants, must be made
sanitary and comfortable. Water
works and sewerage systems must be
built wherever possible and existing
plants extended wherever necessary.
There must be in all sections great
development of work of this kind, and
it should be put under way without
days unnecessary delay.
Work, work Of every possible char
acter, construction activities of every
variety, the building of dwellings,,
large and small, of churches, schools
and municipal structures, must be
stimulated as quickly and as broadly
as possible.
Patriotism, common sense, and
even selfish interests, all combine to
demand that every man shall do his
utmost toward bringing about imm-
diately such wide-sweeping activities
as to create work for every man and
women WILLING To work
