It should never try to help the older folks through its young member;- They have their own agen- . tries which have their own pail in the- far-flung scheme of State am) Federal extension systems. This was the ?K>Ucy laid down a ' year ago by Federal officials deeply interested in the proper development of the 4-H club it isn't fair to the youngster and it isn't fair to his ? ders, 10 use him to reach them, it was said. How has this advi?e worked out when applied to the pv&cMcal realities of advising farmers on crops. combatting the drouth, increasing hie poultty revenue, weeding out hie livestock? | The l est answer, says George L. Conway. the depar*me7*r of agriculture expert who keeps his finger on ' the t Uise of extension work in ev try State, lies in the demand for ; home economics and county agricul-j tural agents- j in nearly every state in the Union, . the director of extension work is go- i ing to add from one to six home ecuno'mics experts; provide additional j funds tc enable State directors of 4-H Club work to keep in constant ] contact with the work; and f.o put * on new subject specialist?. A feature is the intcKot this year in marketing specialists. Two-thirds of the states are adding these men * to give local advice as to how to * take full advantage of the vast fed- 1 era! farm board program. The con- s tact of these specialists with the boys * and girls of the 4-H clubs is expect- '4 c-u to furnish-one of-the best, ave- !. hiies to success in the farm board's plans. Not only is the budget for this year* 5 in extension work more extensive asj " regards allotment of Federal fghas. 1 { but every State is expected to in-!1 crease its expenditure. So insistent has the demand become that a special ?1,000,000 apjjVbp ri at' o n was 1 asked of Congress and Was granted just before the session ended. This 1 brings the Federal expenditure for 1 the work to mere than ?4.000,000 s for the fiscal year just beginning. v With the State funds added, the total 1 for the countrv will not be far from * Washington offers few contiastsj for visitors which equal ihat between! the dvy-us-dust figures bainfc ground] V'vi.

The drouth, which has meant destruction to many grain farmers,, will be a boon to many others if. as is expected, it halts the advance of the borer. Only ?125,000 remained of the corn-borer fund for use this year and it will Tie exhausted by the end of the year. Many moths of the borers died before comb r but during; the drouth and others' did not lay thq usual number of I eggs. _ ^ . i T>UI ...

The fight is of long standing, but was renewed recently when the army discovered that the navy has equipped planes for fighting as well as for scouting in Hawaii and Panama. The army has contended that its air forces siiaii do ihe llghtir.g froTr land, and the, navy has been permitted to have only scouting planes on a land base. The navy has replied that such a distinction is impossible, asking whether a naw plane must seek an aitmy flier when an enemy is found over land. -.yafif " ?j; r ' si "- ^ ?.
