recognition by the Federal Reserve
board.
To the average city dweler, par
ticularly those In the East, the ex-
tent Of the work Of county agents
in organizing farmers co-operatives
will be almost astonishing. Certain
business interests have criticized the
attitude Of the department, but it's pol
icy is that the farmers business edu-
cation must now be put on a par with
his education in production.
Last year 79S county agents assist
ed in organizing cooperative enter
prises. This was 81 per cent of the
total number Of agents in the field.
The business done through these Or
CARNATIONS, as stated, amounted to
1915, ia $50, and the saving through
the cooperative form was $21, 1852, 773.

To Add Six Miles to Manhattan Island

KEW YORK.-New Workers who
~ often pretend to be Indifferent to
the citys wonders have had their
imagination stirred by the daring plan,
just announced, to extend Manhattan
island six miles down the bay by
building mammoth sea walls from both
sides of the Battery and filling in the
intervening space with earth.
A company has been incorporated to
carry out the project, and T. Kennard
Thompson, prominent engineer Of
the city, has prepared the detailed
plans. The Broadway association,
composed Of merchants along the ia
nous thoroughfare, has Endorsed the
idea.
If the plan Is ever carried out, its
proponents say that six square miles
would be tackled on the most valuable
piece Of land on earth; that twelve
miles of needed docks would be added
to the ports facilities; that transit
would be greatly improved and that
the tax on all real estate might be
reduced l per cent.
The plan has already been outlined
to the war department, Mr.. Thompson
says, and no objections have been
raised, since the proposed built-up
extension would still leave on either
side Of the island the same clearance
for navigation that now exists on the
