WHY WOOL IS SCARCE.
The Army and Navy monopolize
the wool market. Orders for our

It is the service rendered by these
organisations that makes for , lae
sp.e-u morale of the American
armies. General Pershing in a
recent letter commenting on the work
of these agencies quoted with ap
proval the statement of one of his
colonels who said "Give me nine men
who have a hut to spend their evou
ings in and I will have a better fight
ing force than ten men would be
without it."
Dr. John R.. Mott, director gneeral
of the United War Work Campaign
says, "If it is worth twenty-four
billion dollars to keep our boys
under arms next year surely It is
worth a hundred and seventy million
and more to add ten per cent to their
fignting edge to bring Tictory ten per
cent nearer. This Is the appeal of
the seven united war work agencies
to America and particularly to those
lour million homes where service
flags fly.
"Viewed as a total sum, $170,
500,000 seems gigantic, but divide it
by the four million men who will be
under arms in our army and navy
during the period it is expected to
cover and it means less than fifteeu
cents a day per man.
"Surely there Is '.no father or
mother or friend of a soldier in this
great country who will say that
fifteen cents a day 1b too much to
spend on his church, his home, his
library, his theater, and his club
over there."
The United War Work Campaign
Is being made at the- request ' of
President Wilson.

THANKS HIS FRIENDS.
I am deeply grateful to every one
of my loyal friends for their support
in Tuesday's election. It is very
gratifying to have this renewed ex
pression of confidence and esteem
For my opponent in the race and
for. all the others .who honestly and
honorably opposed me I have great
respect and the highest considera
tion. For , the bunch of habitual and
hardened law violators, moonshiners
and boot-leggers, with all their
villainous campaign lies and dirty,
mud-slinging, I have sympathy,
charity, and an assurance of cour
teous official treatment at my hands.
Their system of conduct and their
enmity towards those who are
chosen to enforce the law are
notoriously wrong, and can never
prevail In a civilized country.
E. M. SHUTT.
In making an estimate of the re
turns from the work of the county
there are many items that do not
permit an estimate of the actual re
turns from a financial standpoint.
Some lines of work have shown, how
ever, a definite financial gain to the
farmers of the county and for that
reason we have tried to make as
conservative an estimate as possible
from the facts in our office. If there
s any question regarding any such
estimates we will be glad to submit
detailed figures showing the sourcb
r-f gain.
Labor. ' 1
A careful canvass of the
harvest labor situation
and comparison with other
counties show the follow
ing results:
Through the organized
.nTorts of the farmers, lod
by the county agent, har
it.it. Kelp cost the farmers
; f the county an average
of $1.00 per man per day
less than in other cousties.
In the basis of the men
in ployed and the number
of days of harvest the net
profit is . $11,200.00
Hulk Handling.
As a result of the cam
algn put on to encourage
the building of farm
storage the farmers were
saved the expense of high
priced sacks. In . some
(ivies coming to ihc atten-
iun of the county agent
the entire cost of equiping
for bulk handling did not
equal the annual sack bill.
A net saving on handling
22,500 bu. of five cents per
bu. equals 1,225.00
Improved Seed.
Through the efforts of
the county agent 3066 bu.
of good seed were shipped !
in and gave an average in
crease of 195 bii. per acre
of a total of 5959 bu. more
than would have been pro
duced if ordinary seed had
been used. Disregarding
the increase in grade ob
tained in most cases the
net gain is
Spring Harrowing.
On one form where the
county agent advised
against spring harrowing
an accurate check later
proved a saving of 2.59
bu. per acre or a total of :
415 bu. valued at
