Doc. 21?Daugh ter* of Southern Farmers, who have been members of the United States Department of Agriculture's garden and cannlnb clubs have been able to glre' their fathers practical, demon strations of the value of crop diversi fication during the present bad cotton rear. The actual products which the girls have put up are proving an In valuable asset In many farm homes where the cotton crop has not brought the customary returns and many far mers ye now substituting whole acres of on$hs and tomatoes In place of cot ton after seeing the success which the, young women have made with these crops. A conference of the women agents from IS Southern States is In prog ress In the Unltod States Department of Agriculture's Office of Fanners' Co operative Demonstration Work In the Sou^h. Fifteen women agents are present, each representing a State in addition to the members ot the office who have charge of the work. These agents supervise the work of 369 county agents who direct the work of 33,420 girls. Data of some of the 8tate reports given here Is merely an "indication of the general Interest that is being taken more and more throughout the South in the club movement work. Tennessee Girl Diversifies Crops. Madge Farrar has proven the pos sibilities of growing crops all the year round fn her State. By raising qpd selling vegetkbles throughout the year she. made a net profit of $131.63 while the second best girl, who also did good work but did not diversify, made $16.20 profit. The girl-with "the second average grew oni/ beans and tomatoes during the fall andsummer. Kiss Farrar, howevgr, having grown these cropB put In onions darfng the winter which she sqld at a good proflt early In February: She then^proceeded to plant,cabbage which brought her an Income luring April and May, while peaswefb her main crop In June. This brought her back to the tomatoe on bean Sanson and rounded out a year of profitable vegetable growing. ' Another young woman found a peach orchard Into which hogs had been turned. She took her cancer with . her and established herself in the orchard to save what waa left from the hogs, and made |(0 in dne wee? from her work. Similar In stances have demonstrated the possi bilities of saving waste In that sec tion and there has been a more gen - oral Interest exhibited not only by the Interest exhibited not only by th?. farmers' daughters but by many of their wives. PI* Possibility* In Seatkem Mississippi Although the area where See' will grow In this country 1? extremely limited. In certain section* ot South ern Mississippi this fruit grows so plentifully that its value Is not ap preciated and barrels of fig* go to wacte every year. Under the con ditions that exist In doory&rds and gardens, the trees require little or no ?altlratlon and the majority of owner* eat a few, can a few for home ase, and permit the rest to go to waste, ex cept In localities where commercial canna^,are prepared tt^buy the trnu from the day as It rlpons. During the past year two counties of Southern Mlsslselpp derived to ?totalise -fn oannlng flgs. One gift packed 100 pints which she sold for ISc a pint The girl's in th??e sections are now leaving tomatoes for ether less fortunate districts where flgs will not grow and are planting six planted to the other crops. The erly planted to the otb^orope. The for this proqgjf trom flgleen ksis far f years ago < i In Mil are canned in practically no other part* or the country, the main canned product here being .imported from Spain and Mexico. Since the product of these young women has been put on the market, request* have come from 45 States for Information regard ing 'the canning and culture of this valuable food product which the American people In general do not yet understand. The total profit, of all the South' Carolina club girls for the past yejar was over $28,000. Every agent who assists the girls is a college graduate who has received special domestic science training. Home demonstra tion worlds a feature, the motto be ing "Do one thing at a time." There was, for Instanco, a home made flro less-cooker campaign which lasted for three day? in one section and resulted in. a hundred home made cookers be ing put into use. A fly-trap campaign is trf be next In order, and after that a' butter-making campaign. The Valne of a Name In North Carolina. Two sisters In North Carolina have established such a reputation for their canned fruits and vegetables that they cannot fill the demand. The rulea of the agent In charge of the North Caro bna work make It neceasary that the name and address of every club mem ber go on every can she puts on the market. "Give mo a can of Mebel Nor ris tmatoee," or "Olve me a can of Agnes Norrla peaches," requests, the housewife of the grocer in the sec tion where these two sisters sell their products. These young women no longer put up their product in glaaa but In thls^thelr name on tho outside being sufficient guarantee for the ap pearance of the product. r~ Tbe North Carolina girls are being taught to be business women as wen as to help put up puperlor products. The State leaders, when they first Interested the g|rU in the work, at tempted to And markets tor them, but as more girls-join the clubs this is impossible, and each girl is taught to get out among the housewives and dealers of her neighborhood^ and mak? her "?p Similarly, in MmLxippi, marketing committees are organized by the girls themselves and club membena in one section put those o( another section In touch with possible markets tor their goods. Texas Girl Helps Father Who Cannot; ' t Sell Cotton. Annie Davis, who was last year the grand champion girl of Texas and came to Washington with the other champions, has this year come to the aid of her father who raises a cotton crop and couldnt sell It She had saved her money -to take a course at aa Industrial school, but the cotton crisis came along and her money was given to help the family. This young wbman.from the funds which sho oarned last year has purchased her father a team of horses and a wagon. . The Texas girls have shown an unusual lbterest In poultry In addit ion-to their canning and garden work. This IsJrpnly the first year of the poultry work, but already 250 young women have accomplished actual results, and In not a single case did the girls fall to make a profit. The result has been that In many cases the whole flock of poultry on a farm has been turned over to the daughter The marketable value of Ihfertlle eggs has been emphasised, for In the past great quantities of eggs were sent to the market when they were beyond the point of using. One girl cleared last year $180 from her. turkey and $3p8 from her chickens In addition, being aa all round ter mer, she has made a profit from her garden and canning work. This young woman's success has evidently ma4? an Impression on her father, for tyr ing the past year he ha? reduced his eotton acreage 9p?-half and baa P?t in vegetable products. Th?M are not for home use alone, for he ha* Install ed a small hams oanner and the whole L family are going to feel* 4n canning the stuff for market.

Measure Intended To Benefit Agricul tural InterevtK But Is Met Cm puis? r;.- - ;i Washington. D. C.. Dec. 21.?The Lever cotton warehouse bill, before the House for months, was passed to day, 218 to 97. -The measure provides for federal licensing of cotton - and grain warehouses, and la a substitute for a Senate bill restricted to cotton warehouses. The bill now goes to conference between the bouses. The bill approved by the adminis tration, was the subject of brief de bate,. Its spobsors contending that It would greatly enhance confidence In agricultural products. Its opponents claimed it was unconstitutional. "This bill," said Representative Lever, "will result In the establish ment of uniform warehouses and pro vide uniform warehouse receipts for agricultural products throughout the country. It will give a certainty and value to warehouse receipts which will make liquid the evidence of owner ship of agricultural products. It will enhance the value of warehouse re ceipts as collateral on which loans may be sought by producers. It will give greater negotiability to agricultural receipts for agricultural products. "The measure will bring together more closely agricultural products and banking capital. It will result In larger storage facilities for agricul tural products and will serve as an Incentive to farmers to store their pro ducts and thereby save millions of dollars of weather loss each year. It will furnish to the farmer for the first time in this country the machinery through which he not only may know the class of-trade of his products, but its commercial value, it will put him In position to market his crops when the demand is strongest and the price highest. It is a farmers' bill and a most far-reaching forward step in our cumbenf^me system of market ing." The bill is not compulsory in any w^y. VANCE LANDS KECOKD BBEAKEB. Employs Whole Time Health Office Who Helped Establish a World's Record Ur Health Work. Vance county again shows a lot o( other counties a pair of clean heelB. This time she has elected a Whole time county health officer. Dr. D. C. Ashor, of Wilkes bo ro. was the man flnaly de cided upon. For several months yanc?-county authorities have been casting about orer this and other States -to find the best health officer available. They early recognized that It would be taking chances to tag any doctor that happened to apply for the office and call him a health officer. Health work is different from the ,practice of medicine as Is surgery or dentistry. They appreciated also the fact that training a man to be a sanl-' tarlan and health officer Is a slow ex pensive and an uncertain proposition. In some cases a doctor may readily become a good public health official while In other cases he may prove to be the proverbial square man In the round, hole. Dr. Aeher will co-operate with the State Board of Health in his work In Vance and the plan'of work adopted by him and the county is that ap proved by the Board. Dr. Asher graduated In medicine from' the University of Maryland In 1904. For the Tast two years he has been making a record for himself In hookworm and community health work for the State B6ard of Health. He has just completed a campaign In the Phlladephus community In which out of a population of 951, every family Installed some form of sani tary privy, every person was examined for hookworm disease, and every per son having the disease was treated. Thfcs, the community of Phlladelphus Is claiming is a1 world record.

In Belgium and Northern France the Germans and, the French, British and Belgian allies are contesting the mud fields, toot by toot. No news ot any decisive gain came from either arena today. The Rus sian and German claims continue di rectly contradictory. Germans Making Final Attack The Germans In Poland again ara making a fierce attack toward the capital and the Ruaslans are opposing them on the east bank of the Biura river 30 ml Lea west of Warsaw. Grand* Duke Nicholas' army here holds a na tural strategic line forty miles long, running roughly, north and south along the east banks ot the Baura and Rawka rivers. Bnssiaas Claim Sneeess. The Petrograd official report claims that the German force in North boun dary into East Prussia in a northwest erly directly. It aserta also that the . Austrian advance through the Car pathian passes to the north has been checked and attacks of the Prsemysl garrison to break through the lines have been repulsed. According to this report the Austrians have been driven into the fortifications with heavy slaughter. The Austrian communication claims success In the Carpathians but ad mits that the Russians again occupy Galfcia and South Poland In force.
