The always the Veterans’ Fat Jobs Anger “Faithful.” Repubdtic, Those who will partake of Federal pie will have to sit up and take no- tice of the Republican State Comm! tee and the reapective county organ- fzastous, according to the latest tn- formation given out. This proposi tlon was clearly pus to the delegates opposing Taft instructions at West Platna last Saturday. Much ill feel fing bas been manifests among the workers since Senator Warner has had the distribution of the pie, It ts the general kick among the “falthful” thas “Yarner disregarded organiza sion for older alignment, in the form of members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Senator Warner has placed many of ‘the veterans in fat jobs since he enrobed himself in the senatoral toge, and this has angered the work- ers. A clash between Warner and the State organization has been threatened for some time. Joe McCoy, former Secretary of the Repubitcan State Committee, sald yesterday he was sure Secretary Tatts would recognize the organiz» lon {the were nominated and elect- ed, buthe had no assurances from i Mr. Taft to that effect. i His Missing Son in Jail. a] Se.

Washington, Feb. —A man named Jefis, and whose home is sald to have been in Connecticut, is belleved to be stranded on one of Golapagos, or Tortoise {slands, off the west coast of South America, A prominent per- son from Connecticut interested in Jeff's case has written the navy de- partment asking that one of admir- al Evan’s battleships stop at the islands and make a search for him, According to the information at hand, Jeffs {s thought to be on the {sland of Santa Cruz, which also bears the name of Indefatigable, but definite data aboot him is lacking, \ rq lest made heretofore that an American warship search for- the man bad to be refused beenuse there was no shipsin that part of the world, fits time, however, one will stop s with thatend fn view will to Admiral Evans before he eaves Callao.

Washington, Feb.—An elaborate} system of demonstration farms ts proposed by Representative Scott of | jing trom the Dak» factory in Inde- Kansas, chsirman of the House com- mittee on agriculture. Mr. Scott be Meves that the present plar of the department of disseminating the re- sulte of experimental work by Its high priced scientists is inadequate. Now the department endeavors to place this Information before the farmers by means of government re- porta, Mr. Scott says that by this method the facts are “embalmed and buried.” He asserts that the mil- Hons of such reports matled through-| made a rald, telling the owner to get out thecountry every year have been useless because the farmer was not able to utilize the information so presented. The Kansas congress- man believes the agricultural de- partment should send agents to the farmers to make a practical demon- stration of {ts. modern farming methods. “It seems to me that less money should be spent in sclentific research and more spent in getting to the farmers the knowledge that the de- partment possesees,” sald Mr. Scots. “4 bureau should be established in the department to perform the func- tions of intermediary between the farmers and the scientists. Such a bureau could place the farmers {n- possession of the facts developed by the scientists, To an extent this work was attempted by the depart. ment, {n the fight against the cotton boll weevil. Farmers set apart an acre each upon which cotton was grown in exact accordance with the department’s instructions. In al- most every case the crop thus grown was from two to five times as great as the crop grown by ordinary meth- ods, The next year the planter grew all of his cotton according to the deparstment’s methods. “T belleve experts from the depart- ment should take a group of four etates where the problems are about the same, say, Kansas, Missouri, lowa and Nebraska, and establish 100 demonstration farms in each county. Upon each of these farms they could familiarise the farmers with the best methods of raising corn, wheat, alfalfa and other crops. This system could not be established in one year or two years, but itcould be in ten years. Asa result I believe the farmers of those states would be able to double their crops.” coABTO 2RIrA.
