COUNTY AGENT DOINCS

Monday morning l proceeded over the Midland to the town of Blackton. My good friend Palmer was there with a caI to meet me. (On our way out we got stuck of cOurse.l We went on over to see our friend R. D. Shell to vaccinate his
 'pOrk" for next fall and assist in caring for his home orchard. By the way he said that he re- ceived about $60 from three or four trees of apples. Yes, he says it pays to have a home orchard. After vaccinaGng hogs MT. Palmer wished the agent to look over some lands and make some soil examinations to determine just what was best for his land in the way of fertilizers. He plans to ferti- Iize about one hundred acres this fall. In addition he is gO- ing to carry out a test on fer tilizers, to determine more ac- curately just what fertilizers are needed, in cooperation with the Experiment Station. He showed me some 35 shoats that he plans to feed out for the March market. He said, MT. Beck your job is to sell them, and 1 hope that they can be sold in a cooperative ship ment." (Farmer friends have you one or two to help make up this carp In addition to the above work I certainly did justice to one of Mrs. Palmer's excellent dinners, products had all been grown on thePalmer farm, Blackton.

WARNS HOUSEWIVES AGAINST
 USE OF CANNING COMPOUNDS

The United States department of agriculture warns housewives against the use of any preservative powder ol canning compound in home canning. Their use encourages careless and un- cleanly work, and in large amounts they may have serious effects upon di- gestion and health. It is entirely practicable to put up fruits and veg etables so that they will keep indef- initely by processing the products with heat. There is no reason for risk by the use of canning powders.
 Boric or salicylic acid is the basis of most canning compounds on the mar ket today. The directions on the pack ages usually call for one teaspoon of the compound to each quart of fruit or vegetable. The use of boric and sal icylic acid, since they may be harmful to health, is regarded by the depart ment of agriculture as violation of the federal food and drugs act. The laws of many states also prohibit the sale of foods containing boric or sali- cylic acid.

WOOL GROWERS SHOW
 TARIFF IMPORTANCE

The vital importance to California wool growers of protective tariff which will operate to encourage Amer ican growers and at the same time re- suit in decreased prices for clothing and mutton is emphasized by John H. Graham, one of the oldest and best known wool experts in the country. Discussing the wool market he said:
 "The American wool market is glut- ted with the wools from the wool growing countries of South America and other countries.
 "The foreign wool grower can pro- duce the article cheaper than it can be grown in this country and after paying sea transportation can sell it in our market in competition with the American grown wool.
 ."This country has all the advan- tages of producing all the wool we need and surplus to export. But we must have a protective tariff against foreign wool imports and full encouragement for the wool growers.
 Expansion of the wool production of the country not only means inde- pendence of foreign countries for the material with which to make our clothing, but would largely increase our meat supply.
 "The present glut in the wool mar ket will react to discourage Ameri-. can wool growers.

TEACHER SHORTAGE
 MENACES SCHOOLS

The teacher shortage remains a menace to the public schools, accord ing to preliminary reports made pub- lie today by the National Education association. Replies to questionnaires sent out by the association have come from all sections of .he United States. These reports show that in places where teachers salaries have been in- creased one hundred per cent or more the situation is nearly always satis- factory. But such places are compar- atively few, and in localities where salaries have been increased fifty per cent or less the teacher shortage is commonly greater than a year ago. Rural communities are hardest hit. Signed reports from superintendents of many counties indicate that third of their rural schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teach CTS who have had no professional and whose>academic train ing barely exceeds that of the children they teach.
 Relief from this serious situation, which imperils the stability of Amer ican rural life, will be sought from the next session of congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain the pass age of the Smith-Towner bill, which creates a department of education with a secretary in the presidents cabinet and provides federal aid of $100, ,000, ,000 for education.

OWN YOUR OWN ROOM"
 NEW PROJECT OF GIRLS GLUE

Own your own room" is the newest project in the boys and girls clubs. Connecticut and Iowa have many clubs of this new type and other states are fast taking up the idea.
 The members in an Own Your Own Room" club plan to buy or make over their own room themselves. The club leaders say that girl needs nucleus around which to build a larger life or she will not be content with her sur roundings. The "own-your-own room" idea seems to offer this nucleus. In- cidentally after girl has finished with her own room she is apt to have a larger interest in the whole house.
 This new club project is not one to encourage the making of dressing ta- bles from soap boxes or wing chairs from barrels. The club leaders as- sume that the girl on the farm today either has furniture which little work will turn into "joy forever" or is able to buy new pieces. Especially is this true of the club girls who have made and banked money through their other projects. A knowledge of sew

PIONEER COLLAPSES WHILE
 PURSUING PROMISE OF MIRAGE

After days of chasing rainbows" on the desert north of Glendale, Ed Warren, pioneer resident of the valley, was found in a condition of collapse by Deputy Sheriff Al Dewitt. He was brought to the Sisters hospital here, where it was announced his condition was serious.
 Mumblings of chase for the "pros- pector's water hole" were heard by Dewitt when he came upon Warren, weary unto death, his feet torn and bleeding. Arizona's atmosphere had pointed another freshet to the veteran and, half crazed by thirst, he had started in pursuit.
 For hours he had struggled on to- ward the fountain--the ever vanishing object which has written its toll in the sands of time. Progress became la borious and to lessen his load, the dis illusioned had cast of his shoes.
 He quickened his pace toward the goal, where he could drink to his

dered, presumably around in a circle. Clothes torn and bleeding from a dog en freshly made wounds, he sought the sands of the desert to make his final rest.
 There it was that Deputy Sheriff Dewitt found him. His tortured mind was clouded and he was able to relate only a portion of his experience.
 How long he had been on the desert without food or water, officers were unable to learn, but it must have been for days, they say. His condition is said to be serious, probably critical Republican.
