THE FA RM Following the action ADVISER taken by several other counties in Missouri, the citizens of Johnson county, chiefly the business men of Warrensburg, have subscribed $1000 for payment of half the salary of an agricultural expert as adviser of the farmers of that county. This is an aceptance of the offer of the De partment of Agricultural to pay a sum equal to that raised by any county for that purpose. The farm ad viser is the latest development in the evolution of agricultural instruction for practical accomplishment. For years the agricultural colleges have been giving theoretical instructions, accompanied by practical experiment, comparable in their general nature to the instruction and clinics of medical colleges. This instruction has in the Bain been given to young men, pote" tial farmers, and not to the actual 'armers, who must get -their better understanding of agricultural methods at second hand through the graduates Out of Our Wealth and Power Has Grown a Grave Danger V 4 ? i, GREATEST DANGERS TO OUR WELFARE AS A PEOPLE, AS IS THE HISTORY OF ALL REPUBLICS. Well may we pray as in the old liturgy, "In all times of our tribu lation and in all limes of our wealth, good Lord, deliver us," for we see NEW PERILS CONFRONTING US, which, if our forefathers saw at all, they saw but distantly, but the greatest peril is one which they foresaw, and that i? the CHANCE IN THE CHARACTER OF OUR I'EOIM.E. - The road by which republics rise is the road of self denial and uri selfishness.

Up to the present time, while many graduates of agricultural colleges have taken up farming on their own account, the best of them have been absorbed into the rapidly expanding teaching force of tae country. One of these methods, and the most prac tical one of all, is the use of such graduates as farm advisers in coun ties or special districts. This is a con crete application of scientific agricul tural knowledge to the great farming industry. Each county has its own problems. The majority of farms dif fer so in various parts in the charac ter of soil, the topography and other elements of adaptability to va rious uses, that the proper planning of their, handling is a matter of i n telligent and scientific study. Much of our low yield is a result of not un derstanding this fact. Here is where the farm adviser comes in. He tests the soils, studies the togoraphy and all the other conditions, and then ad vises the farmer what crops to plant, ! how to rotate them, how to fertilize ! to the best advantage, how to culti j vate, how to harvest, and, in fact, the : best way to handle everything he does ! or should do. This is not like sending him a general bulletin. It is specific . advice for his particular farm. A county could keep a single adviser of ! this sort very busy, i The business men of Warrensburg have shown wisdom in subscribing , money whose use must result in greatly increased crops and prosper ity, and thus more business for them- By THOMAS NELSON PAGE, Author E see new conditions springing up about us on all sides, and the question is, "How shall we adapt ourselves to them?' It appears almost certain that some changes will come, and, indeed, must come, which may be VITAL TO OUR FUTURE WELFARE. It behooves all thoughtful men to consider, with all their pow er, the steps which we shall take in the solution of these vi tal problems which confront us. OUT OF OUR WEALTH AND POWER HAVE GROWN THE 77a MORNINO ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1913. And It Had Been Coming To Scoop For Three Years THEM VP fAN OFFICER COMES TO SERVE A SUMMflN ON V ME IrH THAT UBEL Son; VHe. won't Find mf .TH Ats all, j selves. Were this done in only half the counties of all the states wonder ful results would follow, whose ef fects would be felt in every industrial and commercial channel. CITY SHOULD PAY A report of FOR LIGHT CURRENT the cluster light committee of the Live Wires, which was adopted, recommends to the city council . that that body in stall cluster lights on Main Street from .Third to Twelfth Streets, and on Seventh Street, " from Center to J. Q. Adams Streets. The report further suggests that property own ers and merchants pay for the up keep of the lights. The committee should be commend ed for the work it has done, but for several reasons which we will enum erate, the Enterprise believes that better results can be obtained if the tax of installation and upkeep for the lights were turned around, that is, that the property owners pay for the installation of cluster standards and the city pay for tae electric current consumed. In the first place if the city purchases the standards and the property owners pay for the amount of electricity consumed, we believe that it would only be a matter of a few years before the city would he paying for the upkeep as well as for the first cost of installation, for what would there be in the bargain that could force the owner of property along which lights might be install ed to keep his lights burning. What is there in the plan to force a mer chant to furnish his share of the costs? Under .this plan if a new prop erty owner would refuse to furnish his share of the maintenance it would be up to the city, with the result that they would pay in the long run for all of the lights on the street. Again if the property owners were forced to pay for the electricity con sumed they would only burn them when they considered that it would be to their especial benefi. and parts of the street would remain dark most of the time. If the city should pay for the current consumed they would be able to keep one or two clusters burning in each block and would thus be able to dispense with the arc lights wherever the cluster lights were used. This would mean a large saving to the city in its bill to the light company for current. In other cities all over the coun try it is the custom of the property owners to install the light standards and for the city to pay for the current consumed, ""for this has been found the only way in which to have uni formity with the lights.
