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

of the schools, or through a day or
'"o each year of attendance at farm
ers' institutes and like organizations.
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-

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.

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.
