enabled? the managers to; turn energy and hard work in to results,"

The, 25; men have averaged to visit, nearly 200 farmers apiece in the last six months—4,848 in ail. Eight hundred and sixtyrfour- of these men are carrying on some kind of experir ments ,#ith the bureaus, such-as growi tog alfalfa, renovating'-nil1, .old p/chard or draining a(field. Thp following is a partial list of such co-operative exr Ijeriments' .and demonstrations.; being carried on: Trials of selected Seed corn 36; tests of seed COrn for germi-

, nation (planted on 531 acres) T 98;;; farms (4,577 acres, sown) treating seed oats for smut 628; farms .nsing hill selected seed potatoes 160; farms treating seed potatoes for scab 304;:

"6i'i farms are growing 1,100" acres of alfalfa under the direction of;, the farm.bureau managers; also.315 acres, of clover; 508 acres of soy beans; 78 acres of sweet clover. Besides these crops 814 acres of apple orchard have been partially cared for by the farm bureau managers.

Labor has been secured .for. 112 farmers. One hundred ^efeven farm, management survey records have been taken. On 222 farms records and * acr counts of the farm business are bang kept with the •maB$gea?Sr help. '• The assistance of the college, station and department experts has -been success­fully sought and applied where need;

-ed. The farm bureaus are "'making ^these institutions nmre effective. Al­though talking is one W the least of their functions, the 25 .n^i; have ad­dressed 309 farniersVimeetiljgs. F|P-teen reports hate been issued by; tfie bureaus. •• ..

A good deal, of attention has afep. been given to forming and assisting

.farmers' organizations, a: number of , which have t>een formed and others 'helped. With''the assistance of the

state department of: agriculture, 15,-, €69 cows are being tested in 25 #rw. 'testing associations., 'Through/the

agency of the farm' bureaus, 278 tons of chiemical fertilizers and 16,190 tons Of Hme have been purchased at great-

- ly reduced rates and used under the . bureau's direction. One thousand ' eighteen tons of commercial fertilizer

have also been mixed at home, at *a considerable saving. The business, done by purchasing and marketing organ­izations promoted' by the bureau in the past six months amounted to $14,-765.

The- above is only a part of the work actually done by this; new agency for agricultural development, which origi*-.

, nated and; is. chiefly" supported at;

Tiome, but which receives state and federal aid. The leadership and initia­tive exercised in rural affairs and of the., information and advice . given to;

.farmers" who have asked fW it, can;

hardly be estimated.

"CANNED" MEDICAL THEORIES

"'. The following, item is ' from ~the. .. Christian Sdehtic society and is pub-

hlishid it^their request. * This paper V assumes no responsibility for •:; the . theories contained therein: '

\. Recent dispatches from Washington ' state-^ that - the' United; States Public:

;.lHeaith S^vice is; to issue - .. canned"; . lectures and moving ; picture: .slides ;, dealing: witii prevalent diseases, The.

- f JectuTesV which are to be read . into •••phonographs and distributed pn . rec-brdis, are to be accompanied by num­erous illustrations^ The* lecture on .typhoid fever, for instance,,.WilU carry ninety-five glides. ;. ,; .

This new. departure on the part of the Giyernment, by which tne tiieories, find treatment of one schoo|of,

., ;practice are. to. be disseminated by •'movies," will strike "many people, as a dangerous: innovation and one: eminently unfair to other schools of

•-'• practice; for it must no^ be forgotten that tile Federal Health Service rec-

, ognizes but one school of medical ' practice, and just at the present time

this: schppl is so" thoroughly committed to vaccine and serum treatment as to enforce it wherev as in the Army and

; Navy, its fiTactitioners have the power to compel'.inoculation:.; li is presum-.

^able that these lectures Will advocate serums and vaccines, yet this treat­ment is contrary to the* theories of other schools of healing and repugnant to hundreds of thpusands of citizens.

Under freedom, during: the past cen-, tnry, there/have,arisen in the Repub­

lic a. number Q1 widely patronized schools of healing whose practition­ers number tens of thousands. It is reasonable to suppose that these schools could not have gained a fobt-

. hold had they not convinced a great number of people of their superior efficacy. Many people will feel that it ia not fair to the homeopaths, the osteopaths* the Christian Scientists • B O otiet schools of healing, to S a w the serum therapy of the old school made A Government commodity and dispensed throughout the nation at the tax-payers' expense.

Some day the European powers will be glsd that the good oAees of tills government are available. -.
