FARM DEPARTMENT
Conducted by the Farm Bureau.

The Township meetings conducted
by the Farm Bureau during tn
past week have been for the mos
part exceptionally we'll attended. Mr.
Petersen of Blackhawk county, wit
is farmer near Cedar Falls has Civ
en- some very fine talks to the Farm
Bureau Members in this community
Make use Of your Farm Bureau
Mr.. Petersen said: "You will gel
out of it just what you put into it.
He went on to show the importance
of getting the boys and girls pig
club and calf club work, the need OF
poultry culling and orchard spray
ing demonstrations, soil testing, CO.
operative buying and selling, COW
testing associations. etc. He also ex-
planned the need of q good state and
national farmers organization such
as is being supplied through the farm
bureau movement.
1.-THE axe is a fine pruning tool if
used in the right place." said Prof.
M. L. Partridge at the orchard dem
constructions held on the farms of Dan
Burnett, F. e. Eckerman, and Otto
Gesell last week. But the only
place the ak should be used in the
orchard is on the main stem of the
tree" continued Prof. Partridge. He
explained that most of the trees are
planted too close ana that taking out
every other tree would not only in
crease the yield of fruit but also i'm
prove the quality. In demonstrating
the pruning of real young trees Prof.
Partridge showed the importance of
getting the main branches coming
from the tree at the right angle and
the right place. In no case should
two branches be allowed to come
from the main stem at the same
point. Prof. Partridge then proceeded
to prune one OF the larger trees and
the plan that he followed was that Of
taking considerable wood from the
center of the tree so as to let in
plenty of light. He showed that there
is nothing really complicated about
orchard pruning if one gets the main
idea of letting in the proper amount
of light and keeping well balanced
trees. always begin pruning at the
top and work down" is the suggestion
that he left after finishing his work.
Poultry demonstrations were also
conducted on the same farms by Prof.
J. J. Warren. He briefly explained

layers, finally dissecting a fowl tt
show the effects Of tuberculosis. II
was clearly shown at these meetings
that tuberculosis is very common
among fowls and is one Of the dis
eases that needs prompt attention.
Township organization work was
completed by the Farm Bureau last
week. At practically all of the meet
ings exceptionally large crowds turn
ed out to hear Mr.. Petersen Of Black
Hawk county. Mr.. Petersen was we'll
pleased with the large crowds that
turned out stating that they were
above the average for the state. The
total membership has been raised to
nearly 900 and memberships are still
coming in. Townships that have re-

SAVE HENLOPEN LIGHT HOUSE.
Appeal Being Made to U. S. Govern
ment to Build Jetties at Lewes.
by Sinking German Warships

In connection with the movement
about to be started to obtain the
service of historical societies of this
State, together with other organiza-
tlons and individuals, to preserve
the landmarks of Delaware. it is
probable Congress will be asked for
an appropriation to build ietties near
Cape Henlopen Lighthouse, at Lewes
TO save the light and protect the coast
line. 1t will be requested that old U.
D. battleships and craft of obsolete
types, now being sunk at target
practice in the Atlantic Ocean and
so many OF the old German warships
recently brought to the United States
as may be needed, be used for the
purpose. A radio station is being
built near the lighthouse by the NAVY
Department and it is deemed advis-
able at this time to ask the Depart-
ment OF Commerce and Labor to bring
the matter to the attention of Con-
greSs. Battleships loaded with stone.
II sunk in proper places aligned cor
rectly, would serve as impregnable
oulwa1ks for ages. From information
