! xrASHIN-GTOX, Oct. 2. (Special.)
Before July 1 next there will have been
FPent in this country $4,759,151 on the
farmers in extension teaching and prac
tical demonstration of better methods
In agriculture and home management..
The great bulk of this money will be
spent under the direction of the Fed
eral authorities, but state authorities
and persons connected with agricultural
colleges and private associations will
take part also in the general campaign
, of education.
A considerable portion of this -large
expenditure on farm education is due
to the application for the first year of
the Smith-Lever extension act, provid
ing Federal funds for farm educational
work where the state contributes a
proportionate share. It lias taken
nearly a year for all the states to pre
pare to assist and for completion of the
Federal machinery to put the law into
effect.
Permanent System Contemplated.
The Smith-Lever Agricultural Exten
sion Act of May 8, 1914, provides for a
permanent National system of agricul
tural extension work to be carried on
with Federal and state funds through
the state agricultural college in co
operation with the United .States De
partment of Agriculture, by means of in
struction and practical demonstrations
in agriculture and home economics to
persons not attending the colleges. It
appropriates money as follows:
1. $10,000 of Federal funds annually
to each of the 48 states.
2. In addition to the J4S0.000, the act
appropriates for 1915-16 $600,000 of
Federal Smith-Lever funds.
This sum will be increased annually
by $.00,000 of Federal Smith-Lever
funds until 1923 when the annual Gov
ernment appropriation will be set at
$4,680,000. The additional appropriation
is divided among the states in the pro
portion that the rural population of
each state bears to the total rural popu
lation of the states.
Colleges Are Co-operatingr.
All the state agricultural colleges re
ceiving the benefits of the Smith-Lever
act have entered into co-operative re
lations with the department, and in 46
states these institutions are conduct
ing all their extension work in agri
culture and home economics under the
terms of a general "memorandum of
understanding," .which is used as the
basis for a great variety of co-operative
project agreements.
There has been remarkable unanimity
in the acceptance by the states of one
of the fundamental features of the ex
tension enterprises which- was devel
oped by the department prior to the
passage of the Smith-Lever act. The
experience of the past 12 years has
demonstrated the value of the county
agricultural agent as a means of
bringing to our agricultural people on
their farms and in their homes the
results of practical experience and
scientific research in agriculture and
home economics and securing the prac
tical application of these results
through demonstrations and other
wise. There is. therefore, general
pgreement that nothing is more impor
tant in the development of extension
features under the new conditions aris
ing from the Smith-Lever act than the
rstablisment in each county of per
manent headquarters for extension
work.
Educational System I'opnlar.
The Smith-Lever act has provided the
means for a permanent system of popu
lar practical education in agriculture
and home economics so organized as to
preserve the autonomy of state agri
cultural institutions to encourage and
develop local initiative and self-help.
and at the same time to bring to the
support of the state institutions and
local organizations the National De
partment of Agrlctilture with its broad
outlook on agricultural problems and
its force of scientists and experts who
have specialized in various lines or
have had wide opportunities for study
and obfrervation in certain directions.
The most encouraging thing about
the extension development in the
United States during the past year has
been the formation on a grand scale of
a co-operative system involving Na
tional, state and local organizations
and the general good will and cordial
ity which has marked the relations of
these agencies in the inauguration of
this system.

the coal mines of Trinidad. Colo., to see for himself under what conditions
his men labored, and to Investigate the causes of the great strike which
practically caused civil war in Colorado.
Rockefeller's trip was the fulfillment of a promise he had made to
Mother Jones at a hearing of the Federal Industrial Relations Commission in
New York. The young magnate at the same time promised the old friend of
the miners that he personally would Investigate the unrest In Colorado and
do his best to remedy conditions there.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR
Rheumatism depends .on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing inflam
mation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de
fect in the digestive processes and re
mains there because the liver, kidneys
and skin are too torpid to carry it off.
Hood's Sarsaparilla. the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. It acts di
rectly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys and skin, which it stim
ulates, and at the same time it im
proves the digestion.

One of your local townswomen is cooking and baking every
day at our store with a Monarch and we want you to come and
see. No factory, expert is needed to explain the food fea
tures of this range, nor to prove to you that it will do YOUR
work in YOUR kitchen in a dependable way. We are ex
plaining the many exclusive features of the Monarch and
showing, for your benefit, at the same time, just how it
operates to do away with kitchen drudgery and save you a
great deal of time and money as well. Let us show you the
top that needs no blacking, the duplex draft that insures an
even baking heat, the triple wall construction that makes the
range last a lifetime and all of the rest of the MONARCH features.
Read what Ed Dingham, Summit, Benton County. Oregon, has to say about
Monarch Malleable Ranges: "A big tree, over nine feet in circumference,
fell across my kitchen and directly across the top of my Monarch Range,
driving the range completely through the floor into the ground. The center
section of the top was slightly bent, but not a thing was broken. I am now
using the range, and wouldn't take what I gave for it if I could not get
another. They stay satisfactory."
