of so-called reformers are merely chronic meddlers and notoriety seekers who have no honest desire to be of service to cociety, but are only dis tributers and mischief-makers.
 Brand Whitlock, former Am erican ambassador to Belgium takes the measure of these bo- gus reformers in a recent mag, azine article, in which he de- clares: most reforms are un dertaken not to reform or i'm prove anybody or to make any. body happier, but to gratify love of interference. Incident ally they may gratify love ot notoriety also, or provide some, one with a job as secretary. But at the bottom they are in spired almost wholly by the love of interference"
 Due to the gullibility of the public these loud-mouthed and altogether offensive persons usually encounter no difficulty in enlisting the support of a 'ufficient number of people to enable them to exploit them selves and their schemes for a time at least.

Aiding the Farmer

Among the many schemes which have been projected in the past few years by polite ians and others in real or pre- tended efforts to aid the farm CTS of the country, very few have been of any practical benefit. In fact, some of them have been productive of more harm than good.
 But there is one species of government aid, at least, which has on the whole been really helpful. It is the agri- cultural extension service, whereby farm and home dem- onstration agents trained for their important duties have gone among the farmers, theil wives and daughters, and taught them how to help them. selves.
 The various field and home demonstrations carried on by these workers often under the most discouraging circumstanc' es, have materially raised the efficiency or farming and rura home-making.
 Especially effective work ha: been done with boys and girls clubs: work which will exer' a tremendous influence upor the rural life of the future. This training of farm boys anC girls for community leadership is perhaps the most importan activity for the betterment o. agriculture today.
