USE new METHODS
Farming Industry Is Showing
Marked Development.
PRESIDENT JRrdine Says Farmers
Are Business Men Now.

Notwithstanding the depression of
the last two years, the farming in
dustry is showing marked develop
ment wherever those engaged in It
follow a program of diversification,
President Jardine of the state agri-
cultural college told an audience Of
Shawnee county farmers at the Santa
Fe COW. SOW and hen train at the
fairgrounds Saturday afternoon.
Jardine referred TO farmer as bust
ness men because they have adopted
business methods. The modern
farmer. he said, runs his plant on
business principles, and his success is
measured by the brain power as well
as the muscle power he puts into the
operation
The farmer who devotes himself to
a single crop takes the longest chance
the agricultural college president said.
while the one who has several crops,
and keeps milk cows, hogs and poul-
try practically takes no cnance at all;
it is almost a cinch that he will make
good with something every year. That
is why the college is urging farmers
who have no COWS. hogs nor chickens
TO get some without delay, he eX
planned.
Needs n Steady Income.
The farmer needs a steady income.
and the surest way to have it is by
selling dairy and poultry products
regularly, and occasi onally a bunch of
pigs. Jardine said; and then he drew
a. picture of a successful farm home
diversification the rule-everybody
happy good nving-business done
at a profit.
Chancellor LindIey of the state
university followed Jardine with an
endorsement of the diversification
project which the agricultural college
has been trying to put into effect in
cooperation with the Santa Fe rail-
road. He spoke for Governor Allen,
who was called out of town.
Lindley recommended follow-up
work and also urged better methods
in the rural schools. He said that
compared with the town pupils op-
portunity, the pupil in the rural
school had only about a SO per cent
opportunity for an education. This
he regarded as a sin that needed inn
mediate attention.
Secretary Mohler Boosts 1t.
Secretary Mohler gave the diversi-
fled farming movement vigorous
boost. and declared that the farmers
OF the state already are sold on the
proposition.
Give the farmers a little time. and
they viii come across" Mohler said.
The COW. sow and hen train con-
cluded its tour in Topeka. Fifty-five
The total attendance was 81, COS: aver
age per meeting, $50. The train was
out two weeks.
President Jardine of the college
says that the tour was a big success.

Fe agricultural and industrial DEPART
ment. says the results so far are salts

train, but whether another train will
be run this season has not been de-

 MT, Gerard declared Mir. Wilson had been stabbed by hatred envy and ignorance, adding that if the for ner President had been victorious in his aims there would be no war clouds in Europe today.
 We cannot restore our champion tc the lists, but the cause he championed is not lost" the former ambassador said.
 The cause of liberty had its idea in Washington. it was personified ir Lincoln. and it had it's apothesis ir W ccdrow Wilson," was the estimate by Mir. Thomas

 For the information of the farm. CTS of Alabama who desire to obtain loans from the war finance corpora ton, and for bankers who desire to aid them, l wish to say that Angus Mclean of North CaEolina, a member of the war finance board, informs me that the individual farmer does not have to wait until an association of farmers is formed in order to obtain a loan from the war finance corpora ton. He can go to his local bank and through arrangements with such bank, make his application and re- ceive the money desired, The appli- cation must be sent to the agricul- tural loan agency of the corporation at Montgomery. Henry NJ. Robbie is chairman of the Alabama board. In- formation desired and application forms will be furnished by MT. Hobbie upon request.
 Let our farmers who desire quick action and immediate aid see theii local bankers and get their applica- tions in as early as possible. Farm CTS who can afford to wait can apply for loans later when their farm or ganizations are perfected. Let our farmers and local bankers get busy and when their applications reach Washington will request prompt action upon them.
