"STOP LEAKS In
AGRICULTURE"

Leon Robbins, Livestock editor Of
the Wisconsin Agriculturist, spoke TO
an audience of farmers at the opera
house here Friday on Plugging
Leaks il Agriculture" Mr.. Robbins
is d we'll versed man and he spoke
to the point.
One leak is the pi2or stands in
crops ranging from 60 to rs per cent,
due 70 poor seed In Oneida county
d field of potatoes tested &C per cent.
Many fields of grain run far less
Another leak is in the improper
care of livestock, particularly young
livestock. 80 to SO per cent of the
young pigs are lost on many farms
due to poor housing and other forms
OF improper care.
Another leak is poor and insuffic-
tent feed. 1t is better to feed small
herd well than large herd poorly,
opined Mr.. Robbins.
Mr. Robbins particularly stressed
on the keeping of farm records. He
thought a card index should be kept
of the various farm departments and
on each cow. For instance, on his
farm he raised horses for several
ycals and supposed he was making
money. Actual records of costs evi-
denced that he was losing $4,000 a
year on horses and the industry was
dropped for something more profit
able Then he thought farm records
would show profit and loss all over
the farm and enable the farmer to
tell how he stood at all times. This
may seem far-fetched to some but it
is coming on many farms.
Community discussion Of various
leaks was another point Mr.. Robbins
talked about. He has farm near ST..
Cloud, Mimi, and is a practical far
mer himself

Roma SURVIVORS
Make Recovery

DR.. John Reed of this city received
letter last week from his cousin,
w. J. Reed of Scarsdale, n. Y. ad-
vising that the latter's son, Captain
Walter Reed had been burned on the
hand and back of head but was re-
covering satisfa ctorilv. Walter Reed
was in the cabin of the ship when it
fell and was buried under the huge
mass His father relates that the
Young officer broke through a burn
ing hole in the side of the bag and
reached safety He was taken at
once to the hospital at Fort Monroe.
The McNair boy, nephew of Miss
Bessie McNair Of Lancaster, was the
worst injured of any of the survivors
although he made light of his hurts
in wiring his family. He was badly
burned but will live.
The Herald spoke last week of the
remarkable coincidence of two of the
eleven survivors of the Roma being
close relatives of well known Lam
caster poonle. This coincidence is
further heightened by Sne fact that
the fathers of the two injured young
men were passengers on the same
train from New York to Hampton
Roads, Va Neither knew of the others
mission The two men hired cab
together to drive from the station to
tho hospital and then compared notes.
Walter McNair was mass of ban
dages and his father did not know
him at first, so changed was he by
his hurts.
The two young men were we'll &C
quainted and had been chatting
few minutes before the accident. The
dead officers were intimate friends Of
Captain Reed and we'll known to Mr..
McNair.

cliques, solidify democracy and make
life on the whole pleasanter, easier
and more full of happy moments for
the citizens of the community, in
which. after all, no one is better than
another.
To us the last is of far more i'm
pOrtance than an ornate and eXpen-
sive theatre given over to an occas-
ional show. Experience of neighbor-
ing cities have shown that municipal
theatres do not pay-good troupes
will not come unless under a prohib-
tive guarantee and a cost per ticket
people in rural communities do not
care to pcy-most of these municipal
theatres are now leased as picture
sLows-a sorry ending. In fact ex
perience has shown that municipal
theatres are white elephants
On the other hand the committee is
empowered by the bond issue to ad
here to the plan it has worked out
and it is only Justice to say that they
have conscientiously tried so do what
they thought was best. Past mistakes,
if any have been made, can best be
forgotten and the committees hands
upheld in their effort to give the pub
lie something worth while at mod
crate cost.

VETS AND DRYS' In
FIGHT FOR SPEAKER

Democratic members OF the COM
ing session OF the General Assembly
will hold another conference at
Dover tomorrow when It is likely
the House members will caucus for
Speaker. The Senate members at
the first conference held about two
weeks ago agreed on Senator Charles
NJ. Murphy, of Harrington, for
president protein OF the Senate, but
the Representatives did not name
Speaker. The night for Speaker
Is between Representative Samuel
n. Culver. of Delmar: and Repre-
sentative ]. Rogers Holcomb. OF
New Castle. with chances apparent
ly favoring Mr.. Culver. who Is said
TO have the support OF the dry"
members. This is looked on as a
wet" and dry" battle. In case a
Speaker is agreed on tomorrow Il
is likely that the standing commit
tees OF the two houses will be Sc
lected before the opening OF the
session on January 2. so that the
Legislature can go ahead with busl-
ness without recessing for week
for the appointment Of committees
II Is not thought that officers Of the
two houses will be named tomorrow.
