LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD"
Clever Fling at Editorial Com
ment on His Youthfulness.

Being referred to as u "child" Is
all right IL one knows the trick Of
turning the phrase. The New York
Times, in an editorial. referred to the
youthfulness of Hanford MacNider.
commander of the American Legion.
In the next speech MacNlder made.
he said:
"You remember the story OF the
shaky young second lieutenant who
was suddenly called upon to take com
mand OF a hard-boiled company. As
he stepped to the front. some private
in the rear rank muttered: And a
little child shall lead them The Of
ficer commanded the man who made
the remark to step two PAGES for
ward-and the whole company stepped
up.
"He dismissed them and ten minutes
later the following bulletin was posted
ON the company's board: This com
pany will assemble at p. m. In heavy
marching order for twenty-mlle hike.
And little child shall lead them
on a d-n big horse"

Recognizing the adaptability OF sheep
to a wide range OF territory. extension
workers OF the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges have steadily en-
couraged the maintenance of a flock
OF sheep In addition to other live
stock on the farm In sections where
farm fiocks can be profitably handled.
The introduction OF purebred stock
and the establishing OF breeding flocks
has been an important feature OF ex-
tension work In Connecticut and Penn
sylvanla In the East, and in Utah,
Washington state, and New Mexico
In the West.
Ram Club Comprises Three Fioeks.
In Pennsylvania purebred ram clubs
have been organized and are operating
successfully. These clubs consist Of
three units OF farm fiocks each. A ram
Is purchased for each unit. He Is
used In each unit two years and then
transferred from one unit TO another
until he has been used In all three
units OF the club. The county agent
In Mexican county aided In organlz-
Ing three ram clubs during 1920, pro
viding nine good rams OF Shropshire
breeding for the hocks OF members
Of these clubs. All OF these rams are
grandsons OF Mlnton's 81, one OF the
greatest show rams at the Interna-
tional In the past few years. Rape
pasture is being used to fatten lambs.
These clubs will also procure purebred
Shropshire ewes, so that each member
will eventually have purebred flock.
Through the assistance given by the
sheep specialist at the state agricul-
tural college nine ram clubs were or
ganlzed In Pennsylvania during 1920;
$1,000 worth of purebred sheep were
selected and purchased by farmers
in the state in this connection. Sup
plementing the organization OF these
associations and the introduction Of
new stock, 80 shearing. docking, and
dipping demonstrations were held, at
tended by over 100 people.
Utah has made notable progress in
making the farm flock factor OF I'M
portance In Its livestock production. In
Iron county, where practically all the
rams are now purebred, the sheep
breeders have concentrated on the
Rambouillet and grow enough stock
OF this breed to supply largely the
demand In southern Utah for pure
bred animals. An outgrowth OF this
work Is the Ramboulllet sheep show,
which is annually the big feature of

members and letting them run from
2 to 2h years In order to enable
the club members to establish small
nocks and sell wool and surplus lambs
before settling their Indebtedness.
Representatives OF these banks have
shown much personal interest in the
work and have co-operated with ex-
tension workers in giving club members
encouragement and advice. In Lake

SQUASHES IN HOME GARDENS
smslI-Growing Plants Are Best Suited
for Average Gardsn--Use While
Young and Tender.

Two distinct types OF squashes are
commonly grown In home gardens
the summer squashes. the fruits OF
which are used while they are young
and tender. and the fall and winter
squashes, which are ripened and used
during the winter months. The small
growing summer squashes are best

ties are better adapted to field culture.
although one or two hills might be
planted in corner or along one side
Of the garden. The hills In which sum-
mer squashes are grown should be
fully four feet apart and little ma
nure and fertilizer should be worked
into each hill as IL Is being made.

Boys and Girls Have Shown Unusual
Adaptability in Raising Sheep.

start fiocks by purchasing sheep. Those
who could get milk or dried milk were
given the lambs. and 10 boys and girls

only nine of these were lost during the
entire season. Cows milk was found
to be the most satisfactory food, but
dried milk was very convenient for
use on grazing fields. One boy kept
10 lambs at his home. all OF which
did well. The same problem was met
In a different fashion at Padillas, Ber-

club members secured from two TO five
