Return of Farm Soldiers Asked.

Kansas farmers have petitioncd the
War Department to speed the return
of her soldiers to the farms.
At conference Of farm bureau Of
ficers and county commissioners re-
Gently at Manhattan the committee on
reconstruction offered the following
resolution: ave respectfully request
the Secretary Of War and the Provost
Marshal General to adopt some such
plan as will return the soldiers to the
homes they left at the earliest posi-
bic date. In Kansas there has been
sown to wheat this fall a record acre
age, amounting possibly to more than
100000 acres, with crop prospect,
which, if realized, will require an
army Of workers to harvest next year.
The demands Of the farm for labor in
the early spring for preparation and
planting the spring crops is also
great, and in no other way can the
situation SO we, be meg as through
the rehabilitation Of our soldiers and
sailors in the manner suggested"

SAYS COUNTY AGENT
WAS BIG FACTOR

TO operate farm of 319 acres with
only two young boys to do the work
is not an easy job. TO make it pro-
duce net profit of 81 800 in one year
under those conditions is considered a
real achievement. A farmer near
Rockford, Coosa County, Ala, in a
letter to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, gives this as the
record made by his own sons. But he
adds that the county agent was the
big factor in the achievement 1t was
the agent who helped to select the
seed and gave advice on drainage, ter
