Mrs. Lucinda Douthitt sejmains very ill, and her death is riot unexpected.

HERE'S a man out in Illinois who. owns a bank and lends money to farmers. He wanted to get at both sides of the question of borrowing and lending, so he got busy on a half-section of land and farmed it on the principle of a square deal to the soil. What he found out was this: It's bad business, both for the farmer and the banker, for the farmer to eat the doughnut and offer the hole as collateral on a loan.

It's one of those simple solutions of a big financial problem that engaged the attention of the President of the United States and a group of Governors, meeting at the White House to discuss this great problem only a few weeks ago. Presidents of Insurance Companies, bankers, men and institutions with money to invest, farmers who want to borrow money—all these people will agree with us that Mr. Harris has thrown the searchlight of common sense on a subject that seemed as thick as a London fog.

'ANTS TESTING FARM IN EVERY COUNTY.

One Member of Legislature Advocates New Departure in Agriculture Has Been a

Success Where Tried

An experiment station, under the supervision of the extension department of Purdue University, for each county in Indiana is advocated by William M. Jones, state representative from Grant county.

Under his plan each county would appropriate a certain sum of money for an experimental farm, the farmers cwould subscribe certain amounts, and as much as possible would be obtained from the federal department of agriculture. A man appointed by the Purdue extension department would' take charge of the work in each county.

The farmers of DeKalb county, Illinois, last year raised $30,000 by subscription for such a purpose, Mr. Jones says, and among Indiana counties that have established experimental stations are Laporteand Montgomery. He says that everywhere he has found sentiment in favor of good roads, and the county experimental farm idea.

Dairy Cattle Demand Grows. There is no let up in trie demand for dairy cows. Every year we hear the same prediction, "The farmers are going into dairing so heavily that butter fat will be down to less than cost inside of six months," but still the average price of butter fat goes just a little higher with each succeeding year. New uses for dairy products are being found every year. The amount of cream now used in the manufactoring of ice cream would have been thought incredible even five years ago, and the summer price for butter fat lags but little behind that paid in the winter. The market for good butter and cream cannot be fully supplied by the cows now in dairy herds.
