THE COUNTY AGRICULTURIST.
Morrow County is undoubtedly one of the greatest agricul
tural sections of the Northwest today.' As the 1916 harvest sea
son is drawing to a close it is apparent that there has been
raised over $2,000,000 worth of grain. This is an estimate that
has been made bv wheat buvers who should come nrettv near tn

country that produces as docs Morrow ennntv. Wo linvo a liio-li
class lot of fanners and they are improving their methods every

things which the farmer would like to know that lie cannot
know under present conditions.
The work of the county agents in other counties of the state
is proving successful. The agent is the organizer who works
out problems of the scientific nature which the farmer does not
have time to delve into. Method for emnluitino' uo.crl lirmtsi in
the most successful manner, the best way to stop the advance

destroyed entire crops in sections of the country are the agent's
I problems. Organized methods for combating all these evils
j have been and are a means of saving thousands of dollars to
I the fanners. The paltry salary which the county agent is paid

to lay off this week on account of
being kicked on the leg by a horse.
Mrs. Adkins also has been suffering

WOULD IT BE PRACTICAL?

sows from Nebraska four or five years ago. Diversified farm
ing, with live stock and the feeding of the crops on the farm as
its basis, is the only true road to prosperity. One of the most
successful farmers in Clackamas County a banker-farmer at
that stated a few days ago that he never sold a pound of hay
or grain off his farms no matter what the price might be. When
the farmers of this country generally adopt this policy, farming
will become a profession, not a mere drudgery. There is no
other profession in the world today which has the need of so

WE SHOULD AWAKE TO DUTY. !
The United States is held, at the present time, in the clutch
of one of the hottest political battles, if not the hottest ever

another two months will either be approved or rejected by the
voters of the Republic. Likewise will the administration of
four years of Wilsonian policies be ratified or denounced. Every
true citizen should feel a keen interest in the campaign. Yet

In Morrow county there are hundreds of voters who have
not registered. After another week the reoistrniion 1mnL- will
be closed. There are only a few days left in which the tardy '
ones may awake to their full dtuy of citizenship and prepare to
cast their vote on the men and measures at the November elec

of the United States. Every voter should participate.

THE ARMORED TANK AND THE CORRESPONDENTS.
The war correspondents are having a env timo with the
new British armored motor cars. Zoology is beggared in the
scrambles for similes. The new vehicles cover the .round lit.
caterpillars, they leap trenches like kangaroos, they lumber
over the ground like elephants, they rip away obstructions like
the horned rhinoceros. When it comes to giving an idea of their
general appearance, they can be said to resemble nothing sn
mucn as an ichthyosaurus, which is convincing if one grants the
premise that a war correspondent knows what an ichthyosaurus
looks like.
The trouble about this embarassment of riches in the way
of vivid similes is that it leaves the reader horribly confused.
The more accounts ho reads and the more similes In-- tries tn nu.
similate, the more confused he becomes. Trying to assemble
the characteristics of all the animals mentioned i "Tl Alio nnm.

They recall so many other devices that were going to end the
