Oh! A v A HEART.

Please. Mr.. Weatherman, hear
US through. With buckets of ink
lastly daubed upon white paper
we have informed the peoples Of
the earth of our wonderful eli
mate, cool summers and temper
ate winters-the stockman's par
ad!se. We have said to the pros
pective purchaser of our fertile
farms that his children would
have advantages afforded by our
wonderful rural school system.
We have boosted of our rural
mail system, that he would re-
ceive his daily and weekly papers
and keep informed. But do you
know Mr.. Weatherman some
communities in Beaver county
have not received their mail for
nearly two weeks. They do not
know or even suspect that Presi.
dent Wilson had found it neces-
sary to go over and drag his
chair up to the peace table,
and with the assistance of his
pal, Brother House, tell the folks
there assembled his plans and
purposes. For seven days we
were without mail service. The
roads of the county have been al
most impossible several ten days
due to the heavy drifting Of A.
inch snow of Sunday night
and Monday. December 22nd
and 23rd. livestock depending
upon the grass and wheat past
ures have suffered not . little
as both have been covered with
snow and ice for several days. We
are forced to believe that the
great amount Of rain and snow
handed out to Us the paSt three
weeks is chargable to the care.
lessness of some Of the help you
have around your weather plant,
and not directly chargable to you.
However If we are to be re-
charted for season of 1919 we
will have our revenge upon the
traffic managers of Uncle Sans
little old railroad system and a
few of the farm loan companies
next summer and fall when we
dump q few million bushels of
our grain upon the market.

STOCK JUDC|NG FOR
BOYS OCCURS At THE
FAIR ON WEDNESDAY
John Humbert Wins First
Prize, According To De-
cision Of the Judge

The stock judging was held OIL
Wednesday for the boys of the
county and was one of the very in
teresting events of the fair. 1t was
highly worth while in that il taught
the boys just how much they really
knew about horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, in comparison to what the ex-
pert from Columbus, Judge w. II.
Palmer, o. S. IT,, had in his head.
The number of the boys who enter
ed this contest was IL and they gath
cred at the appointed place early in
the morning in order not to miss a
minute of the fun The Judging did
not begin until noon. The displays
were led out in front Of the boys and
mark their decisions. After marking
the class of the animals, they used
the white space on each card to tell
the reasons for placing the animal in
the class that they had indicated.
The big feature of this contest was
that the first two on the winning list
were Mt Vernon lads, which fact
rather caused the country cousins to
sit up and take notice. The expert.
ence that the town lads had was
equal to that of the country lads but
did not overbalance the sheet Both
had spent their summers and their
spare time working for stock dealers.
The six boys who were given
prizes are as follows:
First-John Humbert.
Second-Zenno Taylor.
Third-George Mendenhall.
Fourth-Jesse Hyatt.
Fifth-Harold Peck.
Sixth-Roy Thompson.

PLANT SEED WHEAT
sept. 10th TO 18TH
SAYS COUNTY AGENT
An Interesting Place AT The
Fair Grounds Is The Farm
Bureau Tent

Plant your wheat in September
this year, between the goth and 25th
of the month" said County Agent S.
l.. Anderson Thursday to the many
farmers who put the question to him
for answer.
Last year. said he, "the experts
at the experiment station at Woos-
ter told the farmers all over the
state and country to plant their
wheat late. Many Of the farmers ig-
nored the advice Of the experts whose
special work it is to investigate the
conditions affecting this crop and got
their wheat in very early, to find this
season that IL was almost eaten up
with the ny." The experts know
about what they are talking. and it
usually pays to listen to what they
say. And this year they are telling
farmers of Ohio to plant their wheat
between Sept 20 and %.
One of the most interesting hooks
on the fair grounds is the tent occu-
pied By the Farm Bureau. Here Mr..
Anderson spends a good part of his
day talking with and advising the
. farmers upon a thousand different
things pertaining to the land and
the crops. There are questions con-
cerning stock, wheat, corn. oats, buck
wheat, manure, lime, soil fertility and
Improvement, road laws-everything
under the sun-and Mr.. Anderson. as
the county agent, is supposed to have
the correct dope to meet each query
And if there is anyone who doubts
his versatility he has only to go into
the tent and remain there ten min

and has not only worked hard for one
or two months but has devoted him
self to the task throughout the whole

mended for the endeavors they have

yates until his doubts will all be
quieted into wonder and admiration.
Because It Is surprising how much
person can learn in that little tent
along the lane Of the fair in just the
space of ten minutes. The county
agent must have at his tongues end
great deal of knowledge, and all up
to date, ready to hand out on a mo
ment's notice. The farmers Of the
county appreciate this and they one
and all think a great deal of their
county agent.
