FARM FAMILY AS UNIT.
Federal Extension Workers to Focus
 on Agricultural Program.

A new plan for the reorganization of the extension efforSs of the United States Department of Agriculture was explained by c. w. Pugsley, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, in an ad- dress befNre the annual convention of leges. The plan is a departure from the organization heretofore existing. The extension offices of the North and South were combined on Oct. 1 by order of the Secretary of Agricu1- ture, but the details were not an- nounced until they were gone over and agreed to by the Association of Land Grant Colleges. The new plan will permit the development of an ex- tension program, with the farm fam fly as The unit. The old organization in the North has three administrative divisions of extension worl1-one for men. another for women, and a third division two administrative lines were followed-one for men and boys and another for women and girls
 '"The new organization permits ex- tension workers to focus their atten- tion much more effectively upon an agricultural program said MT. Pugs- ley. ''It is necessary to have 8 goal in eight when we are engaged in an important piece of work if we expect to get the best results. So far as ex- tension work Is concerned. that goal should be carefully wor ked-out pro- gram of rural progress. It should cover all phases of rural life.
 ''The logical way to work out such a program in a county is to have meetings composed of both men and women for the discussion of needs of all phases of rural life. A balanced extension program will be the result.

 NORWEGIAN TRADE

Christiania, Nov. 25-America's ex- port trade in Norway, which made tremendous strides since 1914, is men aced according to trade experts, by the high rate of exchange of the American dollar and which has all ready affected American exports with various other European countries.
 Figures of Norway's imports for 1919, recently made public. show that about one-third of the Norwegian inn ports wore from the United States.
 American exporters gained 8 hold in the Norwegian markets at a time when Norway's chief source of SUD- ply was closed. Requirements which could not be covered dn the regular markets nearer home, as was the cus- tom prior to the war, had to be taken from America, or not at all.
 It Is now being pointed out, how ever, by Norwegian trade experts, that

UNEMPLOYMENT HITS MINE DISTRICTS OF
 MEXICO

Mexico City, Nov. 25-Mex1co.s un- employment problems are increasing.
 More mines have been shut down because of the low price of metals, throwing additional thousands of workers into id1enesS. It Is said that in the State of Hida1go alone 4.G0o miners are out of work because of the suspension of operations.
 Additional men have been dis charged by oil companies in the Tam pico region, adding to the already se- rious problem there. But there is hope of a resumption of work in the old fields within a short time.
 Terribly depressed conditions are reported in Oaxaca. where great num- bers are idle.
 Pressing want- with httle prospect of substantial relief, is reported in Yucatan and Campeche.
 In Vera Cruz the profit-sharing or hunger" law has paralyzed industry and business, and distress Is reported among the workers, who expected that the law would fill their pockets as never before.
 There are many sections need ing relief that the government Is able to give little help because of the lean condition of the. treasury. Some help is given, but 1t falls far short of what is needed.
 It is hoped that when recognition comes Mexico may be able to obtain financing with which 1t will be able to improve conditions.

PAST YEAR OPEN
 SEASON FOR MUCH
 TREASURE HUNTING

Papeete, Tahiti, Oct. 25-The year 1921 has been the open season for treasure hunting in the islands. Every month or so report that the vast treasure (al1eged to have been
 buried some sixty years ago) on the Island of Pinaki had at last been To- cated, has induced a new company of adventurous Papeete capitalists to with nothing more than a goodly coat of sunburn and back aching from the strenuous exercise of digging for
 weeks in the blistering coral sand
 Then, early in the year, came the
 yacht "Genesee" from New York in search of Q great treasure of gold, said to have been left on the island of Tupai- -Manu, in the western So- dron when they were flying from the
 pursuing British and Japanese fleets tn 1914 Much real estate on Tu- pai-Manu flew into the Armament, on good charges of dynamite; but the 'Genesee" sailed away leaving the treasure to be discovered by a future explorer. And now there is the story about fifty years ago a Chilian war

 ian government of that timc-ss a revolutionary party. The revolution
 must have been successful; for none returned to take away the gold, the story runs. Years afterward. how
 ever, the Protestant missionary at
 Moorea received a letter from a priest lin Chile enclosing an outline draw ing easily recognized as the outline of the mountain peaks about Opun- l ohy Bay in Moorea, asking for in- formation of the location of the is1- 1 and so represented, and stating that he had knowledge of a treasure bur- | jed there. The missionary having visions of ungo1dly adventurers cor ropting his flock decided to tear up
 the letter and drawing without dis 1 patching the answer.
 Nothing more was heard of the af- fair until a month ago when a strang-
 CT arrived in the island bearing
 charts and drawings which, he claim | ed, would lead him to the treas-

 Reports from Moorea state that, al | the place indicated on his chart, on | digging down, he came upon a con-

 in depth, was disclosed containing

balanced county program does not end with the county meeting however. The state has responsibility. Its Legislature has appropriated money and placed officers in charge of its ex- penditure. Many states have written into their laws the purposes for which the appropriations can or can not be used. It is the duty of the state off, cers to go over the projects of work from the standpoint of a state agricul- tura1 program. Some of these days each college of agriculture will have | in its employ some individual who will give special attention to working ou a unified program of agricultural progress for the state and who will assist the counties in making their programs a part of the harmonious whole.
 Tn a. society organized as ours the final responsibility for an agricultural program cannot rest with each state. The Federal government has a reSpon- sibiliy in the matter. This is rec ogniZed by the appropriation of Smith, amounting now to about $6,75D,0O0. The Department of Agriculture is the national agency charged with the su- pervision of this vast and constantly increasing fund. It has the same re- sponab;lity toward the state that the state has toward the county. It should furnish the best information available on world conditions and should out line in a broad and general way a national agricultural program. It should -l0ok-oEer the projects with the national program in mind, just as the state looks over with the state be very easy to develop an unba lanced agriculture from which the entire na- ton will suffer. We have some evi- dence today that a nation does suffer from an unbalanced agricultural pro- gram.

-HAWAIIANS WATCH
 BIG CONFERENCE
People of Island Keenly In terested in Subjects That Have to Do With the Pac- fife and Japan.

Honolulu, T. H., Nov. 25.-The statement of Premier W. F. Massey, of New Zealand, made on the occa- sion of his stop in Honolulu en route to his home after attending the all- British Premiers' conference recently held in London, to the effect that "a tr-parttte agreement as between Britain, Amertca and Japan would be the best Arrangement possible, and if this result could be obtained at the Washington armaments reduction conference the Pacific problem would be solved for some time and a great caused much interested comment throughout Hawaii.
 Due to it's situation Tn the middle of the Pacific, almost halfway between mainland America and the Orient, Hawaii is perhaps more interested in the peaceful solution of our Pacific problems than Is any other section of the United States. Premier Massey n his suggestion of a tripartite agree ment to include Japan, admittedly the source of Americas worries con corning the Pacific. has voiced the ing citizens who, through long asSo- ciation with the Japanese people here resident, have come to believe that nations on an equal footing and work ing with them to solve the problem which Japan herself has created. These men point to the aInicable re-
 
 citizens in Hawaii and the educnted members. of the Japanese population of the islands, claiming that what can be accomplished thus on a small scale can equally well be accomplished on a large international scale. As for British participation in such an agreement as that suggested, Hawaii. with her rather large British popula- tton, her long history of friendly rela- tions with Britain, and her neighbor- ly relations with the British colonies to the south. takes such participation for granted.
 Some See Jap Menace Another element in Hawaii is ap- parently unalteraIb1y opposed to par ticipation with Japan in any sort of international compact or agreement This element, in which may be found many of the o1d-time Hawaiians, look upon the presence of the Japanese in Hawaii as a distinct menace and can see no solution for the problem save the deportation of Japanese nationals now here and the subsequent exclu- sion of all Japanese, solution which could result only b in War yGns between thS, the might. if allied with America, be per- suaded to withdraw certain per centage of her people from American elsewhere does not appear to this rather radical faction to be at all likely.

 PANHANDLERS
Weary Willie, Dusty Dan and Others Move On to More Profitable Fields As Police Start Cleaning Up Parks of Metropolis.

New York, Nov. 25-weary Willie, Dusty Dan and other knights of the noad who have found this city prime pasturage during the last few years nave begun migration back to Fort Wayne, Dallas and Los Angeles. ac- cordfng to a survey of conditions made by Public Welfare Commissioner Bird s. Cooler.
 Repeated warnings in newspapers against giving money to street pam handlers, ( increased police activity in by charitable organizations have op- erated to drive professional tramps from the parks and other "hang-outs' of beggars here.
 came noticeable decrease in the number of 1oafers in Bryant, City Hall, Central and other parks which have long been the faUorfte camping grounds for idle, Jagged, worn-out
 Work or Get Out
 The Police Department hastened this departure by an uhimatum to leave the city. The alternative to these two courses was an offer of work housse sentences such as are meted out to vagrants. The result is that the thousands of professional pam handlers who came here to take ad- vantage of the unemployment situa- tion have been to a large extent weed ed out. In groups of from two to a dozen they have gone South and West, or to other cities where thedr wireless advtces told them that the ''pickings were good"
 One remaining panhandIer explain ed the situation thus: Most of the guys have gone to better holes. For the last few weeks most of the stem mers (slang for professional tramps who beg for Hving) have been nov parks, and business got bad on the streets. For some reason or other the people. who had been liberal with their money before, became tight and it got harder to make a living by bummm1ng. Most of the out-of-6own tramps have gone South or to the West. where there are reports of work work that the beggars will do, if nec- essary to live"
 Few Regular Left
 A few of the regular tramps still finger about the parks. In front of the cheaper restaurants, where scores congregated a few months ago, one may now see two or three tramps and obeyed the police order to go to work. But most of them have "moved on."
 Discussing the situation, Commts- sboner Coler said:
 the persons who beg on the streets will be removed by plans now under way. Application will be made to Washington either for authorization 
 deport aliens now stranded in this city. Many of these men were strand ed here by the inactivity of the Amer fcan merchant marine Some steps should be taken to care for these help less men, for there are thousa nds Of them in New York. all unable to find work. The city Is taking steps to deal with the undeserving. Some of the tramps who came here to beg, not to work, have gone to Blackwelrs Isl- and for terms in the workhouse- The city found this effective way to warn them that panhandlfng had to stop. Few of these men took advan- tage of legitimate charity. At one time they became angered at the city and picketed the Municipal Lodging House in the manner of strikers and held up men going there for the night"

in order that the United States may maintain this position in Norwegian trade, it is essential that American manufacturers stipu1ate virtually the same terms of credit as other coun- tries
 The dollar now costs more than twice as many kroner as it did prior to 1914. This high dollar rate makes imported America goods so expensive that similar goods from other sources, homemade or imported from Ger many, can be sold cheaper and which eventually will crowd American arti- cles off the market.
 Merchants suggest that if the trade relations between Norway and the United States are to be maintained at anything like their present level, it will be necessary for the American dealers to grant long terms of credit and for the Americans to buy more goods of Norwegian origin.
