TOLSrOY 1RKED BY IDLENESS
Letter Written by Russian Philos-
opker Condemns Life Led by
IndoIent Men Of Means.

The VossiEche Zeitung prints the
following letter by Tolstoy, written in
1884, with the remark that it has nev-
er before been published except in
Russian, and that its value lies in the
fact that as early as 1884 Tolstoy had
about made up his mind to do what
he did in 1910--leave home and live
Me life of a peasant. The letter reads
In part:
81 am living in the country, involun-
tarily according to new method. l
20 to bed early, get up early, write
very little but work a great deal, eth
er making boots or moving hay. l see
with joy Tor possibly it only seems
to me like joy) that there Is some
thing up in my family. They do not
condemn me; as matter Of fact, they
seem ashamed of themselves.
What miserable creatures we are
and how we have all gone astray.
There are great many Of us here,
my own children and the children of
Kusminsky, and nobody does thing
but gulp down food. They are all big
and strong, yet they do nothing. Peo-
pie in the village are at work. My
children eat and make their clothes
and their rooms dirty and that Is all.
Everything is done for them by some
body else, set they do nothing for
anybody. And worst Of all, they seem
to feel that it Is as it should be. But
I have had my own part in building
up such system, and can never for
get il. l feel that for them I am a
trouble-fete. But it is clear that they
are beginning to see that this cannot

May Use South American Wood.

The Pennsylvania railroad, owing
to the unprecedented cost Of railroad
ties, has decided to investigate the
adaptability Of the hard woods of
Central and South America for this
purpose, it is announced. Normally
the Pennsylvania system uses from
100000 to 100000 ties annually.
The average net cost has risen fully
100 per cent since the beginning of
the war. Furthermore, white oak,
which the company regards as the
most desirable wood for ties, is be-
coming scarcer. Therefore, the CON-
rany has inquiries under way to de-
term;ne the comparative cheapness
and durability of southern hard woods
Tor railroad ties.

YOUR COUNTY AGENT
' AND HOW HE
. CAN HELP YOU

Farmers who do not use the Farm
Demonstration Agent and find him a
source of profit and information
simple have not learned how to use
hm and what 10 expect of him. A
farmer is occasionally heard to say
"The County Agent cannot be OF
any service to me because I am a
better farmer than he is" Such a
statement shows wrong conception
of County Agent work. The County
Agent is not employed to be the best
farmer in the county any more than
q doctor is called in because he is
the healthiest man in the communl-
ty. If we were always in case Of
sickness to call in the healthiest per-
son in the community few doctors
would be called and few cases scien-
tifcally treated. Now farming first
of all is a business based on know
ledge of a numer of sciences. A far
ner may make money on account of
his business ability and at the same
time be losing a lot more money
that he might make by applying
a knowledge of some of the sciences
bearing on agriculture. Whenever a
problem ia s the farmers of a
county, whe ther it be problem of
production or of marketing, it is the
business Of the County Agent to
take full account of the problem, de-
termine it's scope and Importance,
and then bring to bear all the infor-
nation in existence on that particu-
lar problem. His information is OBJ
sainable from the State Experiment
Station and through the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
from all the Experiment Stations in
this country and in the world. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture itself develops valuable agri-
cultural information which is car
ried to the to the most distant farm
through the County Agent system.
Now the agricultural press per-
forms a wonderfully valuable SER
vice by carrying this information to
IT'S subscribers throughout the land.
The County Agent, however, car
ries it there in a way that is peculiar
TO the County Agent system; that is,
he carries information through dem
