FARM PROGRESS.


has made greater progress in the
past decade than has that of farming.
The old inhabitant can remember
when a man who was fit for nothing
else was regarded as acceptable ma
terial for the making of a farmer.
The average farmer planted, cult
waited and harvested in the manner
pursued by the previous generation
and trueted to Providence for results.
In recent years farming has risen
to the dignity of a profession. and
young men in large numbers emerge
from courses in agricultural colleges
bearing degrees certifying their quail
! fications as competent agriculturists.
For the benefit of those farmers who
are too old to go to school there has
come into existence the county farm
agent. He is one of the important
forces in improving agriculture today.
There are 1920 agricultural coun-
ties in the United States. In over
three-fourths of the counties county
agent is now employed. In several
counties one or more assistant agents
are also hired. They take out to the
farmer better methods of farming,
help him to produce more efficiently
and to market his crops more advan-
tageously-in a word, to earn more
money.
In addition to these county, agents,
some of the large city banks employ
county agents who guide the farmers
in applying loans to uses that will in
railroads employ county agents.
Banks, railroads, and city chambers
of commerce have actively promoted
the county agent movement and have
extended financial assistance.
In each of approximately LOO
counties a woman home-dem onstra-
ton agent is employed to work with
the farmers wives and daughters.
Not only are better methods of can
ming, care of poultry, etc, taught, but
better sanitation and more home i'm
provements are installed and more or
CARNATIONS of farm women are pro-
NOTED. That is, home demonstration
agents help farm women to add to the
farm income and also to establish a
higher standard of living on the farm.
This movement for more expert assist
ance on the farm i steadily growing
In the near future every agricultural
county in the United States is likely
to have both a county agricultural
agent and a home demonstration
agent.
On June so, 1918 more than 100000
boys and girls on the farm were en-
rolled in corn, calf, pig, poultry. home
garden, and other clubs. 1t is estimat-
ed that the total enrolment for the
year 1919 will be found well in excess
of one million. In the southern states,

PRESIDENT SENDS
WARNING TO ALLIES
BRITISH PLAN OF SETTLEMENT
OF ADRIATIc QUESTION Is
REJECTED BY WILSON.
American Ambassador Instructed to
Deliver Memorandum Conveying
Disapproval.-idust Consult U.
S. or Lose Cooperation.

Paris.-Hugh G. Wallace, the Amer
lean ambassador, has delivered to the
foreign office memorandum from
President Wilson, according TO the
Temps, in which the president said he
could not approve of Premier Lloyd
Georges proposed settlement of the
Adriatic question, which has been sub
mitted to the Jugo-Slavs. The news
paper says that an identical memoir
andum was delivered to the British
foreign office in London.
The Temps says President Wilson
allowed it to be understood that the
United States would find it impossible
to continue in conference If the allies
settle the Adriatic question without
consulting the United States.
In his memorandum, President Will
son criticises Premier Lloyd Georges
plan as communicated to the Jugo-
Slavs by the supreme council on jan
uary 90 The president examined the
plan, but declares he cannot approve
OF its tenor. He particularly opposes
the idea of giving the Jugo-Slavs the
choice between this plan and execu-
ton pure and simple of the London
pact.
In addition, according to the Temps,
the president finds the Lloyd George
plan too divergent from the memoran-
dunn drawn up at London last Deem
Der by Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemenceau, with tile collaboration of
the American representative.
The president gives to be understood
that If the allied powers settle the
Adriatic problem without consulting
the United States government, the
United States will find it impossible
to concern itself in European affairs.
The memorandum was Immediately
examined by the chiefs of the allied
government before the French premier
left London for Paris Sunday morning.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
stop Eating Meat for a While u
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thorfty. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and l0ggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clcg you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
Sour stomach seurs, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
