GOVERNMENT WISHES
TO HELP FARMERS
Happening Recently in Our Own
State Emphasize Good Work Done
by Agricultural Agents
In a Nebraska county not long ago
the county agent has experienced
much difficulty in interesting a cer
tain farmer in proposed agricultural
improvement campaigns. This farm
er, who was of much influence in the
Community, considered his own indi
vidual success a proof that Govern
ment co-operation with farmers is
entirely unnecessary. A specral rep
resentative of the extension office of
the United States Department of
Agriculture who visited that section
was told of the case by the county
agent. He went to the farmer and
found him cold and unresponsive.
"You are standing in the way of
your country when your country is
at war," said the special agent to
the farmer finally. "Do you realize
that?"
"No," said the farmer, "I hadn't
thought of it that way."
"Well, do think of it that way
awhile," sugprsted the special agent.
"The man who doesn't help his coun
try at this time is hurting his coun
try, and to hurt your country when
your country is at war is n pretty
bad thing to do, don't you think so?"
"You bet I do," said the farmer,
thawing out for the first time during
the interview. "You don't think I
am that kind of a man, do you? I'll
do anything for my country. I'll
fight."
I "All right," said the agent. "Here's
your chance. See that your farm
and all the farms in your county in
crease their yields and their culti
vated acreage. It isn't picturesque,
but it is service real service, great
and genuine service. Now t hat 'a
what the Government wants you to
I do. That's the purpose of these spe
cial county organizations. That's
what these emergency county agents,
like the one In this county, are urg
ing. What about it? Your country
wants you to help. Either you will
or you won't and if you won't help
, your country, you are indirectly help
! ing the enemy. What your country
wants you to do is to plant more
land, specialize on certain crops, and
1 cultivate so as to increase production,
jit is nil figured out to harmonize with
a great national program, oclentlfic
! ally arranged. The community or
ganizations, co-operating in each com
J munity throughout the Uniiod States,
! are essential to the realization of
this national plan and that plan is
absolutely necessary of accomplish
ment If wc aro to Win the war. Now
we are trying to organize thio county
in harmony with this plan. You
have opposed it. Don t you see what
that means?"
"When la that county meeting?"
asked the farmer.
"Tonight.' '
"I'll b there tonlfrht and make a
speech. Yau are mighty right I
hr.dn't thought of it that way. You
will never have another chance to
insinuate that I am not with my
country In this war."
The farmer spoke that night. And
by a unanimous vote the meeting ar
ranged for organized agricultural
work throughout the county.

Adoption by the Society of Auto
motive Engineers, sitting In Wash
ington, of the Palmer rim and wheel
for aeroplanes affirms once more the
desire of the War Department and
agencies wirklng with it to unify all
military equipment used by our allies
on the western front. The Palmer
rim and wheel Is nt present used on
all British aircraft. By adopting it
for use on our planes It makes it pos
sible in the event of an accident to
cither a British or an American ma
chine while landing to treplace Im
mediately a shattered wheel with a
standard one. The B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company is the sole licensees
of the Palmer tire In this country and
It was at the suggestion of the Good
rich. Company that the Bociety unani
mously accepted the British rim and
wheel for recommendation to the
government. The Goodrich company
has sent to all wheelwrights and man
ufacturers copies of the specifications
and have received replies assuring
co-operation In hastening the con
struction of the wheel. The Good
rich Company's act in distributing
plans to leading wheel and rim mak
ers was warmly commended by the
S. A. E. and indicates clearly how
strongly the big Industrial corpora
tions have placed their resources and
ngnuity at the disposal of Uncle
Sam.
