Otters for Men and Boys & R have no jrecor. Each demonstration piai mnuences irom five to one hun dred farmers. ; farmers often drive from eight to ten miles . to study these plats. Aside from this,' there were enrolled about 10,000 other far mers, some of whom were risited, and all of whom received agricultural bul letins, pamphlets, etc. In this work there is not much stress put upon the method of giving instructions or advice by correspondence, still several thousand letters have been written in reply to requests for Information on by farmers. By all of these methods combined, there Have probably been reached 500,000 farmers, most of them in a practical way. "Aside from this the growing of the ordinary summer crops, another valu able feature of the work has been the growing and planting of 50,737 acjes of winter growing crops. A conserva tive estimate of these are worth at least $10 per acre, or a total value of over $500,000. These cros consist of 32,510 acrs of clover, 4,240 acres of glasses, and 12,987 acres of otner crops crops consisting of rye, vetch, rape, small , grain, etc. - "thzring the season county agents have started definite systems of .rota tion of crops with 1,081 farmers. These will furnish valuable object les sons in their , respective communities, and will furnish much valuable infor mation to demonstration agents to be distributed ! through their counties. "These agents have been instru mental in introducing into the state the following livestock: Nine stal lions, 145 mules, 116 bulls, 177 cows, 353 hogs, 380 sheep, or a total of 1,180 animals. of improved blood to be used for breeding purposes. They have vaccinated 3,781 for cholera. Ninety per cent of . the injections seemed to produce immunity when used in time. They are now co-operating with an ex pert from the U. S. department of agriculture with our state veterinarian in an effort to control and to eventu ally eradicate this swine plague. They have induced .the building of 28 silos and have started several creameries with collecting routes in 'connection. Much of this work was done in co operation with our state dairy depart ment. It would make a long story to attempt to state all of the work being done by these progressive men. Some things accomplished are me laying out of drainage systems, and the putting in of 68,000 feet of tiling, the terrac ing nf a number of farms, the prun ing and spraying of 396 orchards, the! removal of over 20,000 stumps, the starting of several, hundred pastures,! the stopping of one outbreak of Black- j leg, the getting of one soil survey,' etc. . . "goys' corn club work has been, ucniieu uii iu j I uuuuuca niiu an en rollment of over 4,500 boys, which is 100 per cent greater, than that of last year. Girls canning clubs have been extended from 11 to 32 counties, and from an enrollment of 120 girls last year to over 1,500 this year. They not only can tomatoes, but in one way or another are saving every kind of edible fruit and vegetable on the farm. During the year poultry clubs in co-operation with . the animal hus bandry division have started in five countries with a membership of over, 300. Many new and modern poultry houses have been built, and much good livestock has been purchased by the members of the clubs. This work is to be greatly enlarged during the en suing year.,. Arrangements are now being made to start pig clubs and beef clubs, each in ten counties to begin with. . The animal husbandry division will furnish expert advice and help to organize, but county agents wilt large ly be held responsible for the success of the work in their respective coun ties. Much stimulus to livestock growing is expected to result from these efforts."i ' - "A new deoartment of the work now to be added is that of Home Econ omics. This is for the benent oi iarm women. It is to deal with canning, preserving, curing,-: house-keeping, home-making, sanitary measures, food values, cooking, clotning, health prob lems, marketing, labor saving devices, women's clubs, etc. It is stated there is much to be done in the house as on the farm around the house. It is of equal, or perhaps greater impor tance - Fverv county that can pos sibly do so, should procure this work at as early a date as possiDie. NOT SEEMLY FOR PARIS TO LAUGH Paris, Novl 20 (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) "As long as the enemy treads French soil, it is not seemly for Paris to . laugh," says Prelect of Police Laurent in reply to the renewed appeals of dramatic ar tists for the reopening of theaters and music halls. 'iMrt maw nermits shall be issued and no permits previously accorded shall be renewed so long as the Germans occupy any part or France, he declares; consequently a few mov ing picture shows, one solitary mu .? halt anri one orchestral concert constitute the amusement of Paris.
