ing-all these are in a large measure
the outgrowth of our farm bureau ac-
tivities.
Certainly no greater work has ever
been achiaXsd atsso small cost.
Moreover, pnlysabout one-third Of the
money NECESSARY to carry on county
agent work Is paid by the county. The
state and national government believe
strongly enough in this work to pay
to each conuty almost double the
amount that county itself pays. Farm
ers and friends who support the work
through their gifts and membership
fees may rest assured that it is money
well spent. The county court appro-
priation for this work, legally author
lied by the county agent law Of Mis-
souti, is most helpful and paying in
vestment for a county. since it pro-
notes basic industry on which ulti-
mately all business and commerce de-
pends, and without which our nation
would not long survive.
/ According to contract, our county
pays maximum of $1,000 to help
maintain the county agent work, As
a rule, the Farm Bureau has used less
than the maximum, but always rem
ders the maximum in service, for the
work of the agents is most carefully
supervised by county committee az,
by state authorities. 1t is doubtful
whether any other public official has
his work checked up in the way a
county agent does. There is method
in the whole plan as outlined. From
the federal government down to the
small community. Hence it is no
more than natural that the work
should be efficient and that the re-
suits outlined above should come to
the county that supports the work.

can do the most harm. In a position
where the powers were Of less magni-
tude Hyde would be an object to pro-
woke mirth. He is a man of less than
mediocre ability; he is absolutely in
the hands of master minds whose only
coneernsiss grabbing political loot and
pluHaer and such on obsession knows
no fsstraiHE and is deaf to all reason.
Hyde andshis pet measures; his
state board of equalization with its
propensity for clinching the mailed
fist into the flesh of the farmer while
the Republican Legislature played loose
with business, has Become a stencil
even in the nostrils of decent Repub-
licans.
Arthur Hyde will send the state of
Missouri back into the Democratic
column eternally. The people have
already tired of the experimentation
of the novice. Even many of his own
partisans are sick of him.
Governor Hyde says that he would
have voted the appropriation made for
the publication of the constitutional
amendments last fall, if some of the
accounts had not been in the hands of
innocent purchasers. He says the pub
fishers charges were too high that
one-sixth the amount asked for would
have been ample pay. And so on, the
Cheap John style for which his mental
calibre so eminently fits him. AS all,
or nearly all of the accounts were in
favor of Democratic newspapers, his
economical spur could be given full
exploitation without detriment to those
in the ranks of the faithful. 1t was a
grateful opportunity to put on high
ly moral air and show the people what
a watchful dog of the treasury they
had in their observant Governor. So
he signed this appropriation bill under
hightoned protest--from the mouth
out, and perhaps no partisan feeling
within his heart. Now those amend
ments had been published according to
law and at the price set by the law
which price was stated by the Sec
retary of State to the publishers to
whom the advertisements were award
ed. And that had been the practice
for fifty years, alike under Democratic
and Republican rule. When Mr.. Swan
ger was Secretary of State the Repub-
lican papers got 'their'n' at the full le-
gal rate but l don't recall that Gov.
Folk suffered from molar conniption
fit when he;approved the outlay. And
l feel assured that two years from
now, when the bills from the various
Republican papers of this state roll in
they will find Governor Hyde in ami.
cable temper; that his righteous in.
dignation will not be in evidence, but
that he will approve the appropriation
made in their behalf, with hearty

FARM BUREAU ACTIVITIES

Another calf club has been organ
lied in st. Francois county and 25 to
30 registered heifers will be brought
in to enrich the blood of our dairy
herds. Less than q month ago, 26
registered Holstein heifers as we'll as
several high grade cows from Wiscon-
sin were distributed in St. Francois
county. Three Jersey bulls carrying
the best blood of the Island of Jersey
have just been introduced. Last fall
a car load of high producing regis
tered Jerseys were brought here and
sold. At that rate st. Francois coun-
ty will soon he one of the leading
dairy counties Of the state.
Then, too, consider how our county
has been helped agriculturally and
otherwise by the breeding of register
ed Hereford cattle and other live stock.
These results are most gratifying.
They are credit to the Farm Bureau
that has been the main factor in
bringing them about.
The st. Francois county Farm Btu
reau is proving itself q potent factor
in promoting the best methods in ag=
riculture and the most wholesome con-
ditions for our entire community life.
There is no question that the poultry,
dairy and livestock business is among
the most profitable lines Of agricul--
ture. Certainly it is the kind of agri.
culture best adapted to our conditions.
Soil fertility is our great limiting fac
tor. Hence strictly grain farming is
out of the question; While live stock
and dairying tend to build up the fer
tility of the soil.
Our county agricultural agents: as
well as experts from the State Agri-
cultural College and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, long since real,
lied this fact. Hence they have al
ways stressed poultry livestock and
dairying. Breeding better laying
strains, improving the flock through
more careful cullines, have been prac-
ticed. The introducti tiotf ofbetter foun-
dation stock in oufoa kefdS and the
breeding up of thesesHefds through
pure bred sires was always one Of the
Leading 4t1t;A9ksfJts ~ As rasuIt e.

HYDE IS A SERIOUS JOKE

And now comes George Hackmann,
state auditor, and George, by the
grace of the Democrats of Missouri,
is now in the fifth year of his coming,
and declares that he is doubtful if any
payments can be made this year on
the pension for the blind. : E."
Right you are, George. Your Re-
publican leader, Governor Arthur M.
Hyde, In three short menshss has PROV
ed himself monumentaIly incapable of
understanding the needs Of Missouri;
politically he is non compos. He pos
sesses an abortive sense of justice.
Anything that savors of rank parti-
sanship is justice to him. When the
history of his administration is writ
ten the entire four years can be sum-
med up n this brief statement: He
kicked out the Democrats disregarding
their qualifications and replaced them
with incompetent political parasites to
pay MS polltlcal deDtS.
Governor Hyde, incapable as he is
and insensible to all save partisanship,
insomuch as his own and the politics
future of his own party is concerned,
deserves to be placed at the head Of
the list Of blind pensioners. Hyde
might have shown saving grace in
demanding that the pension for the
blind become operative at the first
practicable moment, but instead blind
ed by his obsession to take care of his
partisians, he has done nothing but
sit by and see the vultures pick out
the sightless orbs of the blind.
A commission? Yes, Hyde believes
In commissions. There is a commits
sion which must look after the pension
for the blind. The commissioners
must have clerks and stenographers,
cuspidor cleaners and someone to bring
in the vichy water and ginger ale dur
ing the heated sessions. and the Lillip-
utian governor of the great state of
Missouri will see that there are plenty
af political ibunkies On hanA no. help
eat up the money that has been appro-
priated for the deserving sightless of
Missouri. What does it matter to him
if some of the blind must do without
q y,ays;co II Ne haI1cbrfen ara y,aid ?
