the following purposes:
(1) Increasing the acreage and
yield of the food crops common to
the locality.
(2) Assistance to farmers In se
curing good seed, fertilizers, live
stock, credit facilities ,and farm la
bor. (3) Effecting co-operative organi
zations for the economic purchase of
farm supplies and marketing of farm
products.
(4) Elimination of farm waste
such as losses caused by plant and
animal diseases, insect pests, idle

The Food Production Bill enacted
by congress In August, 1917, pro
vides for a special appropiration for
the extension of county ugent work
to every agricultural county.
Already more than three-fourths of
the agricultural counties of the
United States have organized farm
bureaus und have county agricultural
agents at work.
Assistant Secretary of Agricultural
Carl S. Vrooman said recently:
"This wide and rapid development
(of county agent work) ts n military
necessity because of war conditions.
We need and must have a county
agent (or emergency food agent) in
every agricultural county In United
States by the beginning of the next
planting season."
Regular county agent work is car
ried on co-operatively between the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, the
State College of Agriculture and the
County Farm Bureau. In counties
employing regular county agents ex
clusive of emergency food agents,
$1,200 of federal and state funds are
contributed annually to assist the
county In carrying on the work.
The county agents do a great deal
of good by assisting In the fighting
againBt cholera in hogs and blackleg
in cattle. During 1916 enough hogs
died from cholera in the United
States to provide pork for an army of
one million men for a year, If each
hog had weighed 200 pounds.

given by Mr. Gunnels as follows:

1st and 2nd AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING AVERAGES for 1917
WERE WON WITH
Peters Shells
The known superiority of the "P" brand is a factor that trap and field shooters are quick to take advantage of. Sportsmen
a
of all classes and in every section of the country have been made strong advocates of PETERS Shells because of their exclus
ive and superior features. In the 1917 trap-shooting averages,-two representative shooters captured first and second honors,
and both depended upon the "P" brand in achieving this success.
1st. W. H. Heir, Guthrie, Okla., shot at 2050, broke 1917. Average, .9741
2nd. Woolfolk Henderson, Lexington, Ky., shot at 2570, broke 2502. Average, .9735
Six times in the past 8 years the Highest Amateur
Honors have been won with the "P" brand.
In the 1917 official professional averages, Mr. L. H. Reid, of Seattle, Wash., shooting PETERS Shells has an average of .9722,
winning second place and FIRST among the professionals using one make of ammunition thruout the year.
Remember the old saying
"the Best is the Cheapest
In the end" and insist on
