ORANGE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

This has been rather a quiet week
for Farm Bureau activities. Be
cause of the very poor travelling it
has seemed best to curtaiI the field
work. There has been an unusual
lot of office work to do. The Farm
Bureau membership signs have arriv-
ed and the names of each member
are being printed in the space pro-
vided on the cards. There has always
been considerable of a problem ex-
perienced in the distribution of the
membership cards. The plan this
year is that the cards will be sent
out to one or two centrally located
men in each community with the ex-
pectation that a large majority Of
the cards will be distributed by the
individuals calling for them. The
cards will be presumably ready for
distribution by the middle of April.
The first of April marks the time
when many of the Farm Account year
begin and end. Already several
books with the years record closing
since the first Of January have been
received at the Farm Bureau Office
for summarization. 1t is hoped that
a large number of books will be sent
to US during the month of April.
In looking over the records in the
Farm Bureau office it seems that a
large part of the clothing project
has been in the making of the paper
dress forms, with the result that over
hundred have been made during
the fall and winter months. These
have proved very useful to the women
in the home in their dressmaking
work.
The calls for dress form demon
strations are decreasing and calls for
millinery demonstrations are coming
into the Office about every day.
Now is the time to journey to the
attic to take inventory of your old
hats. What is there along the line of
braids, ribbons, silks and frames
Many throughout the country have
made their best Sunday hat out of
old material and have been pleased
with the product besides saving from
So to Sc in the making. Horse hair
braid is very popular this season, and
most of us will find some in our attic.
The Home Demonstration Agent will
be glad to help any community group
of women on the project whenever
possible.

held at the home of Mrs Norman
Hunt in Chelsea on Mar. 80. Three

ELECTRICITY HELPS THE
GROWTH OF PLANTS
AND CROPS.

1t is an established fact that the
growth of crops and plants may be
increased greatly by the influence of
electricity. This is one of those dis
! coveries which was made long ago and
! then abandoned, to be rediscovered in
, recent times. #.i "t n
In an old book published in 1776
and written by the Rev. DR.. Joseph
Priestly, is the following sentence:
''Mr Maimbray at Edinburg electrified
two myrtle trees during the month
of October 1746; when they put forth
small branches and blossoms sooner
than other shrubs of the same kind
which had not been electrified.
There was no attempt to put the
results of this discovery of electro
culture to any practical use on a
large scale. This is not surprising as
the only means at that time of pro-
ducing an electric charge was by
glass-plate machines driven by hand.
Towards the close of the nineteenth
century the effect of electricity on
vegetable growth was rediscovered by
a Swedish professor, who made many
experiments to determine the effects
VI cISCIIlC upOu IllO
growth of plants and field crops. After
his death, the experiments were con-
tinued in Great Britain. 1t was
found possible to get good effect from
wires Is feet from the ground with
but one pole to an acre. From one
pole to its neighbor in the same row
is distance of 70 yards, while the
next parallel row is 100 yards away.
The electricity is led out from the
power house by telegraph wires
along each row of poles, while finer
wres are strung across between these
heavier wires at every II yards. The
result is an overhead network, each
mesh being about IL yards by 100
yards There is silent discharge of
electricity from the wires towards
the earth. In some cases the in
crease of grain in the electrified area
has been 400. The growth of pota-
toes, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and
Strawberries has been benefited re-
markably from Identification.

of the radical elements and their
secret cooperation with them.
Arrangements have already been
completed to launch publicity cam
paign in behalf of this movement.
A radical labor press syndicate has
been in existence in Washington for
some time, receiving the support of
the American Federation of Labor,
on one hand. and the very radio al
elements, on the other 1t is under
stood that this syndicate is now serv-
ing between 125 and $50 publications.
Some of the publications served are
socialist daily papers; others are
weekly and monthly labor papers.
At all times the service advocates
radicalism and at the same time is
boosting Mr. Gompers and his crowd,
which clearly shows the affinity
between the two factions, which
would have the public believe they
are at odds.
This movement is to be designated
as "non-partisan" in the coming cam
paign for the purpose of deceiving
the laboring men and the farmer.
The plan is to work first in party
primaries to name on one or both
old party tickets men who are in
sympathy with the radical elements.
To assist in this, the American Fede-
ration of Labor has prepared a
"black list" of men who are now in
the Congress or in state legislatures.
The radical elements will be put in
possession of this black list and
will work against the nomination of
men favorable to them, the next
move will be to Sound out" candi-
dates on both old party tickets and
to secure. if possible, on the quiet;
pledges from one of these to favor
radical proposals. If this can be done
the entire strength of the radical
element will be swung to the candi-
date making such pledges.

Although he publicly denies it, it

that Samuel Gompers and his crowd

this radical movement to "bore from

Mr. Gompers and his crowd will do
everything within their power to
assist the radical element to elect
men on either the Republican or
Democratic ticket, who, in reality,
will be neither Republican nor
Democratic. but will be in radical
bloc either in Congress or in the
state legislatures.
Mr. Gompers has long professed his
hatred of the radical element in the
labor world but it is very significant
that each campaign he is found con-
niving with them, in event such con-
nivements can further the interests
of himself or the Democratic party.

GOVERNMENT A DANGEROUS
RTTZZ SAW

Perhaps the strongest bulwark of
the political boss is the almost uni
yersal belief that principles are great
er than men. Scarcely a village, town,
or state that has not slipped over I'M
desirable candidates as against decent
men because of this conviction, so fire.
Quently in fact that it is time we
turned the microscope on this very
vital assumption. Morals are largely
geographical and always subject to
the times. The theory of right today
may be wrong tomorrow. In the ear
ly days principles in government may
have been more vital than men. In
deed this may be true today, but it is
certain that today the character Of
the men we choose to serve us is more
vital than ever before in history, for
in matters of government we are COM
PEELED to put blind faith in the men
we choose to serve us. Government
has become so highly technical, so
amazingly complex, that it is quite
beyond the understanding of the aver
age individual. The subtIeties of civic
finance, the intricacies of export trade,
the complexities of transportation
problems by land and sea, the tech
nique of tariff, the bewildering, con-
Trajectory elements entering into sci
entific taxation, not to speak Of the
dazing problems of foreign relations,
have removed government so far from
the ken of the average citizen that he
has lost all touch with it; he feels it
is something with which he has grave
concern, but in which he dares not to
express an opinion. His happiness, his
welfare, depend on the skill with
which these technical problems are
confronted, yet they can be man-han-
died to his complete undoing without
his even sensing the folly of his rep
resentatiYe. Summed up, government
has gone completely from the hands
of the people; it seems to have out
grown the people. The people have
not kept up with the procession. The
press has been insufficient as an edu-
catiOnal force not for lack of desire,
but because the press must exist and
the people demand as the price of sup
port the publication of trivialities.
The great city newspapers have come
to be a mixture of Diamond Dick,
Sherlock Holmes and Laura Jean Lib
by, stripped of personality, often de-
void of principle, pandering to the in
tellect of the fiapper and assuming a
''miS-leaderShip" based OH bluff and
buster which rests on the inability
of the people to tear away the mask
of mock heroics and disclose a half
baked understanding of our national
vitamines 1t seems as if we must
turn back the clock and take more
careful measure of integrity and abil-
ity in those we must trust to do for
us the things we are unable ourselves
to understand. If not this, then we
need some new system of education
in the land.

While the supervisor was unable to

might well be extended if the demand
is found to warrant such extension.

that at least four years of one lam

that your appropriation for library
purposes during the present year is

For this reason / trust that your APP

is quite liberal

ports that number of your instruct
ors are doing work considerably above
the average. For this reason it is to
be hoped that you will endeavor by
adequate salary advances to retain
the services of these teachers who have
proved their worth to your school.

once more upon the very favorable
character of this report. 1t is a pleas
uure to learn that the work is pro-
