COUNTRY HAS
PRACTICAL LEADERS

President Harding and the Ameri-
can delegation under the chairman
ship OF Secretary Hughes have shown
Doth high ideals and brilliant strategy
IN the program presented to the
Washington conference. 1t is a rare
combination, as the nation has reason
to know. So often high ideals have
been divorced from the practical sbil-
ity to get them embodied in actual
achievement.
The natural course of procedure
under ordinary diplomatic usage
would have been to make mild pro-
posals secretly, let them be discussed.
and then make public the final COM
promise. In this way all the ameni-
ties would have been preserved and
there would have been no chance for
rebuff. Instead the President and
delegation decided on the bold course
OF throwing all their cards on the
table at the outset, and on appealing
for public support in every country
affected by the very radical nature of
the proposals.
Risk was involved in this course,
but the advantages to be gained made
the risk we'll worth taking. The re-
ception so far given the American
program fully justifies the procedure.
However the details of the proposal
may be altered it is apparent that
tn outcome will be far more success
full than would have been the case
without this daring stroke at the be-
: ginning.
The country is fortunate at this
time in having the quality Of prac.
tical leadership shown by the Presi.
dent and the men selected by him tt

Wilson put the magnificent ideal first
and was undone by stubborn facts
which he could not compel to conform
to it; Harding puts the facts first and
will attempt to work from them to
the best international system of
which the nations are at this time
capable.
Wilson, it will be recalled, was very
certain about the ideals to which he

PROGRAM BUILT ON FACTS

What enlightened statesmen of this
country and of other lands hope for
is not disarmament to the point
where the civilized nations will have
no superiority in arms over the un-
civilized, for that would be to invite
the barbarians to utilize their num-
bers to attain world dominion. They
are concerned with the definite and
difficult task of limiting armaments
in such a way as to lessen the burden
of preparations for war and of arriv-
ing at an adjustment of their own
differences on reasonable and last
ing basis.
President Harding proposes, for
instance, to acknowledge certain
stubborn facts. Confronted with a
badly tangled international situation
he is not trying to junk our present
civilization by removing all OF Its
props, safeguards and advantages
but is seeking a more intelligent CO.

would bring all people, but was
rather vague on a number of the i'm
portant facts. Harding is very
specific and clear in his statement of
the facts which must govern any
lasting settlement, but frankly does
not attempt to say how completely
the great humanitarian ideals will be
realized through i,.-Los Angeles

In such a program it is inevitable
that facts will stand out above ideals.
The good that will result to the ma

tions outside the conference will be
tremendous, but at the same time it
will be by-product.
Harding's effort, indeed, differs
from Wilson's fundamentally in this:

History of County Agent
The circular also gives brief his
torv of the county agent work from
ifs inception in 1911, in Broome
countv. New York. By the end of
lime, 1913, about one hundred Of the
soents we're at work in 10 states.
The passage of the Agricultural Ex-
tension act in May, 1914, and later
the food production emergency of the
World War, led to the rapid expan-
sion of the county agent force, which
now numbers 1,166 agents in the
1900 agricultural counties of 33
Northern and Western states. Iowa
and Minnesota are the only states
which have a complete quota OF
agents.
1t is interesting to note that the
early efforts of county agents were
poorly received by county commune
ties and in very many cases were
openly resented by farmers. The
changed attitude of agricultural com
munities in regard to the count.
agent is one of the most notable tri
umphs of the work and is the bes
possible proof of it's value and ne
cessity.
County agents attitude towart
such economic problems as coopera
tive purchasing of farm supplies ant
marketing of farm products has re
suited in the formulation Of ma
tional policy. The county agent to
day helps determine what crop
should be grown, he advises how t
grow them efficiently and how t
market them profitably. The sam
is true in connection with his wor
in the livestock industry.
HELPS the Farmer Help Himself
The county agents first duty is
help the farmer help himself. Or
of the outstanding developments

work has been the increased emphas
placed on the appointment of con

Gibson County Boy
Expert on Tomatoes

Herbert Nelson, Of Gibson coun-
ty made a clear profit of $S14.52
from his project Of one acre Of to-
Inatoes grown as a part Of his in
stfuetion in vocational agriculture
under the Smith Hughes act.
The land had been in beans the
wear before. 1t was a clay loan
soil and was broken about eight
inches deep early in the spring. It
had been disced and was allowed to
Law until about the middle of April,
when it was again thoroughly disced.
After discing about three times, the
fertilizer was distributed on April
/. On April % the plants were set
in the field. The plants were grown
by the boy. About 500 pounds of
1922 were used. One ton of barn
yard manure was also applied. AS
soon as the plants were set, cultiva-
ton, stalking, tieing and pruning
began. About June 10 the cultiva-
ton was over and on June 81 mar
keting began.
There were harvested 176 bushels
of green tomatoes and SO bushels
of ripe tomatoes These sold for a
total of $43S.35. There was a total
Of 1887 hours in man labor, and
Ga hours in horse labor devoted to
the project.
