We have felt It necessary to make
such a statement in this matter owing
to the attitude that several individu-
ais have assumed In regard to Farm
Bureau work, to let them know that
the Farm Bureau is here to serve the
needs of the Farm Bureau members
and others in so far as they contrib.
ute to its welfare, and II you want the
services you must pay for them.
In Illinois the membership fee in
the Farm Bureau all over the state
is SIS per year and they sign up for
three years. In Iowa 1t is $500 a
year and sign up for three years. Full
details Of the proposed local work and
the purpose of the Farm Bureau will
be explained in future issues.

Community Clubs.

During the past week we have had
the pleasure OF meeting with the Com

at Hopkinton. Mr.. Beels, who Is the
chairman Of this club, explained some
Of the purposes of the club as there
were number OF non-members pres
ent at this meeting, after which the
meeting was turned over to the Farm
Bureau for the purpose OF explaining
the income tax law.
The Farm Bureau is in hearty &C
cord with the Community Club idea
as it is one of the means Of bringing
people together and having great
er understanding of each others
problems. A great deal of our dis
trust and i'll feeling today is the re-
suit OF ignorance Of facts.

commercial club to look after the In

Experlmental Fields.

The Board Of Supervisors recently
made provisions whereby the Farm
Bureau is to receive tract OF land
at the county home for experimental
purposes. An expert from the State
Experimental Station has been In
Manchester to look over the field and
to render assistance in the coming
years work
This experimental field will en-
deavor to work out some Of the local
problems in regard to building up our
soil and raising Of better crops. Use
OF limestone, commercial fertilizers
and introducing OF new crops. One
portion OF the field will be set aside
for dealing with various varieties OF
corn. II you have variety Of corn
which has been grown in the county
for good many years and which
seems well adapted to our conditions,
the County Agent would appreciate a
present of at least twelve or fifteen
ears in order that they may be grown
In the field. Every contributor will
be given due credit for his assistance
in conducting these experimental
fields. Any contributions Of this sort
should be furnished the County Ag-
ent's office in the near future in or
der that the corn may be tested and
the seed prepared for planting.

services OF more people than II II was

idea Here's hoping that the people
OF Earlville will see their way clear to
organize a good, strong community
club, and may rest assured that the

crate with them.
Farm Bureau Finances.
There seems to be feeling on the
part OF some of the farmers OF the
county that the services of the Farm
Bureau are free to any and all who
wish them.
Sometime ago bill was passed in
this state which, when 1t becomes
law in force will authorize counties to
furnish funds for Farm Bureau work.
The basis upon which this money is Sc
cured is that at least one thousand
dollars shall have first been subscrib-
ed by members of the Farm Bureau,
after which the County will be requir-
ed to furnish dollar for dollar in sup
port of the work. For those who are
misinformed we wish to state that the
Farm Bureau is running entirely on its
own finances and il any farmer thinks
he is going to get services without pay
he is mistaken. 1t would not be fair
to men who are paying $500 a year
and sign up for three years In order
that the work may be a success. And
even should the County provide for
this work, the amount represented in
taxes would be about 35c each. What
do you expect to get in this world for
35c?
The Farm Bureau has been broad
enough in its activities during the past
year in the interest of agriculture in
the county, helping alike members and
non-members. However, this work has
grown to such proportions that we
deem it advisable to spend the MAORI
ty Of the finances and time with the
members of the Farm Bureau. This
consequently means that the farmers
who are not members OF the Farm
Bureau will only be allotted such time
as is not taken up with the work Of
the Farm Bureau.
We have endeayored to indicate to
the people Of the County the various
ways in which the Farm Bureau can
be OF service to its members and II
they do not make use Of its services
it is the same as buying suit OF
clothes and hanging them up in the
closet, leaving them for the moths to
wear out. II you do not understand
what the purpose Of the Farm Bureau
is In your community call on the
County Agent and get informed.
There has been too much hearsay talk
around over the County, what the
Farm Bureau is and what it is not.
II you have anything against your
neighbor go to him and tell it to his
face and do not go behind his back
II you can offer some advise which
will increase the efficiency Of the
Farm Bureau we want it. II you do
not know anything about it and can
not tell anything but register kick"
keep still.

to the sheep growers Of Delaware
County for the purpose Of organizing
ali those interested. This meeting
4 I'LL be held at Manchester on March
Ind, at 1880 P. NJ, at the court house.
Every farmer who is interested IN the
future OF the sheep business in Della
ware County and what he will get for
his spring clippings should be pres
ent at this meeting. The fact that
the Government has released its influ-
ence in regard to prices of livestock
and wool, makes it imperative that
the producers Of these products or
ganize and protect their own inter-
ests. Full details on the future Ell
fects will be outlined at this meet

TIPS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

The cape disease Of poultry causes
an enormous loss Of young chickens
all over the country, which loss may
be easily prevented. According TO AT
wood and Lueder Of West Virginia sta
ton, the main steps In this procedure
are as follows:
First, burn or bury deeply all chick
ems which die Of the disease.
Second, If possible, keep the chick
ems shut In until the dew has dried on
fully in the morning.
Third, If the disease Is very preva-
lent, add not more than three drops
Of creolln to each pint of drinking
water and prevent the chickens from
drinking elsewhere.
Finally, If these precautions have
not been fully carried out and few
chickens become infected, remove the
worms with gape-worm extractor
and burn them so as to prevent the
eggs from becoming scattered about.

Magnetism Is Claimed
to Have Brought About
Most Amazing Cures

The most amazing cures are claimed
to have been brought about by mag
netism, the originator Of the idea be-
ing a Jesuit priest, who invented steel
plates of a peculiar form, which he ap-
piled to the naked body as cure for
several diseases.
His idea was copied by many other
mesmerists and magnetizers. An
American practicing as a surgeon In
Leicester square invented and took
out patent for the celebrated metal
lie Tractors"-two small pieces of
metal so strongly magnetized that they
would cure gout, rheumatism, palsy,
and in fact almost every disease the
human frame is subject to, if applied
externally to the afflicted part. He
gained respectable fortune from thou
sands of deluded clients. until he was
exposed.
