correctly speaking, it extracts what is
worth saving from rubbish and pre-

crete blocks for building. 1t has been
proved that every hundred tons Of
waste produce $160, and since a town
of $4,000 inhabitants discards about
one hundred tons of rubbish daily one
can easily work out the municipal
revenue that such plant would pro-
duce. Not few towns in the United

TOWN LONG WITHOUT BANK
Colorado Community, in Existence
More Than Century, Is Now
to Have Institution.

The little Spanish town of San
Luis, the county seat of CoStila cOun-
ty, Colo, in the lower end of the val
ley, will welcome it's first bank when
the State Bank of San Luis opens its
doors for business. This little town
is more than one hundred years old,
and was one of the furthest outpOsts
Of Spanish settlement that followed
the northward push of the Spanish
residents of Santa Fe and vicinity.
For nearly fifty years before the
first contingent of Americans, under
command of Gen. Frank Baldwin, now
q resident Of Denver, arrived over La
Veta pass and established the military
post Of Fort Garland, San Luis had
been a flourishing little settlement
surrounded by highly developed farms
In the last few years the progress
and development of the town and
community has been more rapid until
now the town is considered to be large
enough to need a bank. The ma
jority of the residents of the vicinity
are Spanish-spealling people of the old
school. polished, courteous, energetic
and prosperous. Some of the wealth
lest men of the valley are to be found
in the town and its close environs.

EXTENSION WORK IS
HELPFUL TO FARMER
County Agent and Farm Bureau
Give Greatest Aid.
Opinions Gathered in Survey Made by
Officials Of States Relations Serv-
ice in Number of Northern
and Western States.

What extension agency is most help
full to the farmer?
Among $500 farmers Of whom that
question was asked 80 per cent said
that they received most help from the
county agent and the farm bureau. The
agricultural press was given first place
by 81 per cent. Three per cent of the
farmers interviewed said they received
most help from farmers organizations
other than the farm bureau and 8 per
cent said they received most help from
bulletins and agricultural reports.
Twenty-Five per cent had no definite
opinion as to which agency was most
helpful to them.
tt sse opinions were gathered in
survey made by officials Of the states
relations service, United States depart
ment OF agriculture, in a number of
northern and western states. The pur-
pose of the survey was to get the
viewpoint Of the farmers themselves
as to the relative efficiency of various
phases of agricultural extension work
and to learn the outstanding problems
OF rural districts as viewed by the
farmers of those districts.
An indication OF the efficiency of
farm bureau work is found by con-
trasting the replies in states where
he farm bureau is organized and in
hose where II is not. In the former
or cent OF the farmers interviewed

placed the county agent and farm bu-
reau first among the agencies that are
of service to them, and only 10 per
cent placed the agricultural press first.
In states that have no farm bureaus
26 per cent placed the county agent
first and 80 per cent placed the agri-
cultural press first.
One of the questions asked was,
what is the biggest problem of farm
ers in your community today? The
farmers who answered this question
were divided as follows: Labor. $50 !;
improved farm practices, 637; market
Ing. 300; better organization of farm
ers, So; financial assistance. 81; roads,
IA; repeal Of the daylight-saving law,
9; schools, 1.
OF the farmers visited two out Of
every three were acquainted with the
county agent and his work. and 80 per
cent Of them were favorable to it. One
farmer out OF every three was receiv-
ing the bulletins Of the United States
department Of agriculture, and two
out of every five the bulletins of the
state college of agriculture. Four farm
families out of every five were taking
both daily and an Agricultural pa-
per, and one out Of every two q maya
zine, usually woman's magazine. One
farmer In every three visited was n
member of the farm bureau and one
of every four was member of some
other organization.

the directions furnished with the in
cubator. The eggs are usually turned
for the first time at the end of the
second day of incubation and twice q
day through the eighteenth or nine
teenth day. or until the chicks conn
mence to pip. After turning the eggs.
reverse the egg trays end for end,
and from one side of the machine to
the other in two-tray incubatOrs. Keep
the incubator door closed while turn
ing the eggs, unless the directions
state that it should be left open.
Cool Eggs Evenly.
The length Of time to cool eggs de-
ponds upon the temperature OF the in
cubator room. a good general rule is
to leave the eggs out Of the incubator
until they feel slightly cool to the
hand, face, or eyelid. Place the trays
of eggs on the top of the machine or
on 4 table in such Il position that they
are not in q draft. and so that the
tray does not project over the edge Of
its support, which would allow part
of the eggs to cool much more quickly
than the rest
Nineteen Days Nominal Time.
In good hatch the eggs will start
to pip on the evening of the nineteenth
day, and most of the chickens will be
out of the shell on the morning of the
twenty-tirst day. If the hatch is much
earlier or later than this it indicates
that conditions during incubation have
not been right. A high temperature
may hatch eggs too quickly and pro-
duce weak chickens, while continu-
Gus low temperature throughout the
hatch will delay it for several hours.
After the eggs begin to hatch, leave
the machine alone until the hatch is
well over. Do not open the door to
see how the eggs are Matching, as it
allows the escape of moisture which is
essential at this time.
Keep the incubator dark at Matching
time by covering the glass in the door
with a cloth or 5urlap sack, so that
the chicks will not be attracted to the
front of the machine by the light
and become restless. When the chicks
are all Matched. remove the egg tray
and open the vertilators. After the
hatch keep the chicks in the incu-
bator from "a to SO hours before re-
moving to the brooders.

ment of Agriculture.)
Success or failure in using an incu-
bator depends in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred on the attention given to
its operation. The ordinary incubator
is easy to operate. but for good re-
suits regular and painstaking care
must be given to it from the time the
machine is started until the last hatch
is out and in the brOoder.
Incubators have been and can be OPP
Grated in great variety of places
with success, but where only few
small machines are used they are gen
orally run in a room or in the cellar OF
the house. A special cellar or incn-
batOr house should be provided if the
incubator equipment is extensive or
mammoth machines are used. The
main essentials are to provide for
good ventilation and against great
variations in temperature.
Setting Up the Incubator.
The incubator should be set up ac
cOrding to manufacturers directions,
with care that the machine is perfect
ly level. If spirit level is not avail
able, long. shallow pan of water
set on top of the machine will serve
its purpose. Be sure that all parts of
the incubator are in their proper po-
sitions and that the regulator works
freely. If the door sticks do not plane
1t until the machine has been heated
and thoroughly dried.
The machine should be run at about
1O2 degrees F. for "a hours before the
eggs are put in. 1t takes several hours
for the machine to come back to it's
correct temperature after the eggs are
first put in; therefore, the regulator
should not be touched in that time. 1t
is best to see to the regulation of the
temperature before opening the door
to attend to the eggs, but do not
change the regulator any more than
is absolutely necessary. The eggs tend
to throw off more heat as the EN-
bryo develops, so that 1t may be nee
essary occasionally to change the reg
ulator slightly during the latter days
Of incubation. The manufacturers d.
rections regarding temperature should
be followed unless considerable eXpe-
rience indicates they can be improved.
Turn and cool the eggs according to
