WON HIS CONFIDENCE

He had gone to Kansas in an early day, established bank and made lot of money. He is now counted among the states richest citizens. Asked by a friend how he ever had the nerve to start a bank in such backwoods country as he located in, he replied: Well, sir, I just rented room, stuck up a sign, Bank and waited for re- suits. The very first day man came. along and deposited one hun dred dollars. The second day an other man dropped and left five hundred dollars, and blamed if didn't get some confidence in the thing and put in five hundred dol lars of my own money"

ARISE AND sHiNEr

o do not be a foolish gink and sit and fret and worry. Don't fuss and fume till you can't think, and say your biz is on the blink. Arise Get busy! Hurry! For there is just one thing to do, when you see trouble brewing. Forget all thoughts of blueish hue and work like heck the whole day through. Don't waste minute stewing! The cure is sure. If you are wise you'll keep forever jumping. The fighter always cops the prize! The fellow gains who does or dies! You'll win if you keep humping.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS IN
 NEED OF BETTER SUPPORT

At the special session of Congress, called for March 4, bill is to be introduced providing for increased federal appropriation to the agri- cultural experiment stations of the several states. Under an act passed in 1887, known as the Hatch Act, each state experiment station now receives $15,000 per annam from the federal treasury. This was in creased by what is known as the Adams Act in 1906 appropriating an additional $15,000, making $50,- 900 appropriation to each state. The country as a whole is waking up to the fact that agriculture needs more earnest attention.
 ss4s Tn the year-sx1920 Congress of the United States expended 93 per cent of the total revenue of the United States for recent and pre- vious wars and preparation for wars to come Only one per cent of the federal revenues was expended for research, education and develop ment. The amount spent by the federal treasury for the experiment stations is but a small fraction of one per cent of the total revenue of the country. This money is an investment for the state. Every dollar of it brings large returns to the Nation. The problems of life, of foods, their uses, the food sup ply, clothing, breeding and animal diseases, the fertility of soils, and the success of our agriculture, de- bends upon these institutions of re- search and discovery. Their con- tribution to the knowledge of the people and to their success Tn agrl- culture is impossible to estimate.
 Now that, the war is over, a con structive step would be to strength en these institutions which have suf- fered seriously during recent years For example, among l,7OO workers in agricultural experiment stations there have been l,400 changes 1T the past five years. This is ap- | proximately 80 per cent. Of de parmental heads and leaders oi special lines of research work, 37( left their positions in the experi ment stations during the period mentioned The directors of prac tically half of these stations hav' | changed in the same period.
 The success of experiment sta ton work lies in experienced lead ership, and the continuation of mel in lines of work until results cal be accomplished. The results of ex perimentation for one year onl. does not determine the problem. l
 is series of years of work tha
 will bring to the farmer real re
 suits. Appropriation for the worl
 of these stations has practicall, stood still from the standpoint O
 the state, as we'll as the nation
 since 1914. If the people in thi
 country are to overcome their con
 stantly increasing problems in ag
 riculture, the experiment station
 and the research work must hay
 increased support. This is the ob
 ject of the act in question. It
 believed that if the federal cor
 gress can be prevailed upon t
 lead the way, the state legislature
 will do their share, and between tn
 two the research work in agricul
 ture will not suffer.
