AGRICULTURE TAUGHT IN ALL STATES, SHOWS RESULTS, SAYS NOLAN (By Associated Press)

URBANA. 111., Dec. 10. The newest set of agricultural teachers those who have come to the farm boys at their work in the open country are making a great success, according to A. W. Nolan, assistant professor of agricultural extension at the University of Illinois. "Since the passage of the SmithHughes vocational education act in 1917, teachers of agriculture are now at work in all the states of the Union". Professor Nolan said. "These teachers are employed for 12 months in the year. They are paid partly from local funds and partly from federal funds granted by the vocational act. "Under the provisions of this law, all students enrolling in vocational agriculture, with teachers thus em-

pioyea, must carry on ior six uiuhuis of the year, as required part of their course, a farm project under the supervision of the teacher. Teacher Lives in Work. "A teacher of agriculture literally lives with his boys during the summer months, directing their work, study mid business in connection with their farm projects. The boys in these classes are usually organized into vocational clubs under which auspices trips are taken to sales, fairs, universities, agricultural exhibits, and pood farms. All of this reacts to the moral and social, as well as the vocational and agricultural education of the boys. "For the fiscal year ending June SO, 1920. nearly 2,000 schools had established departments of vocational agriculture and over 45,000 boys had enrolled in the work, carrying on the farm practice as required. The Federal Board reported for the year that the income from the projects of the boys carrying on the farm practice was approximately $1,000,000, a cum of money larger than the federal grant to the States for carrying on the work in agriculture."

The Farm and Farmer

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN

At the last meeting of the Center township fanners at Centerville, the live stock committee agreed to draw up a constitution and by-laws for a shipping association. Orville Dailey, Thad Nichols and Perry Shadle comprise the committee, and the result of their efforts will come before a called meeting of the association, at an early date. Members of adjoining township organizations who may wish to ship stock from Centerville are invited to attend. Claude Kitterman, of Cambridge City, addressed the Center township meeting on "The co-operation of the farmer and banker." Joseph Blose, cashier of the Centerville State bank, also gave a short talk which interested the gathering. The attendance was

quite large and the occasion enjoy-!

able. Cattle Men Want Cheaper Meat. We don't know just how it all came about, not being present at the meeting, but it is a matter of record that the cattle men from twelve western states, v ho concluded their convention at Salt Lake, Utah, Thursday, demanded cheaper meat. No, they didn't argue that cattle should sell for less money, but that retail prices on dressed meats be cut. They asked that Attorney General Palmer mstitute an investigation of retail meat prices, beginning with the packer, and then to take a look into butcher shop tills and see who is getting the money. The one certainty in

this instance was that the cattle rais-;

ers are getting so little of it that they are going into bankruptcy, at least many of them are, or have been driven out of the business in order to make a living. Sheep Men in Same Boat. Be it also known that sheep raisers are now in the same boat. They haven't been able to sell their last crop of wool and sheep and lambs are so low that there is nothing much beside a fond recollection left for the farmer who is foolish enough to ship them. When the railroads get theirs, and the commission man gets his, the farmer gets a letter acknowledging receipt of said sheep, with mayhap a draft for a dime in it, if he happens to hit the high spot on the day's market. If not, he gets a "Please Remit, for services rendered." Certainly, you are right about it. Yes indeed, raising sheep is a great business just now. It surely is. Harrison Township Supper. There are a whole lot of Harrison

townships in Indiana and the one we are now to talk about is in Union county. The story runs that at a meeting

of the federation farmers some time ago, mayhap when it was raining cats

and dogs, and the wind was robbing Ihe trees o ftheir leafy treasure, only

a small and lonely bunch foregathered at the hall. It was a mighty quiet night inside. The secretary had read his report for the third time, possibly, and the treasurer had proudly cited the figures showing a million dollars, more or

less, in the surplus fund of the association, to brace the mall tip, when the question of keeping a few thousands of this coin in circulation, came up. One farmer suggested that they pay off all the farm mortgages in the township with a part of the money; another still more generous soul said "why not apply this principal to the whole of Union county, and make more people happy. Why be stingy about it?" Decide to Buy Oysters. And thus the argument proceeded, nobody getting anywhere, until one hungry brother, with the idea of a good supper in mind, suggested oysters. It did not take him long to convince the bunch that oysters are edible just now, there being an "r" in December. And it was so ordered. The ground plan and front elevation of an oyster supper what am, was immediately shaped up by a man who knew how to do the drawing. He pictured a row of snowy tables, with hundreds of bowls of steaming oysters, crackers galore,

and pies and things to eat in abundance. In fact he dumped all the contents of the horn of plenty in full Bight of his auditors. And so it. came about that Harrison township, Union county farmers, with their wives and families, enjoyed an oyster supper, with trimmings, the other night.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 10. A person holding a policy in any one of the American life Insurance companies finds himself subject, indirectly, to the imposition of five, and perhaps six federal taxes, E. E. Rhodes, vice-president of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company, Newark, N. J., at its fourteenth annual convention, told the Association of Life Insurance Presidents here today. - Although emphasizing the multiple taxation of life Insurance, Mr. Rhodes urged that it is far better that insurance men shall sincerely and wholeheartedly co-operate with the government in finding a reasonable basis of taxation than that they should take an antagonistic position toward all plans that may be presented. "What is the position of one who has sought insurance protection, in so far as federal taxes are concerned?" asked the speaker. "In the first place, he pays a tax at the rate of eighty

cents per $1,000 of insurance for the privilege of insuring his life. In the second place, he pays a personal tax upon so much of his income as is required to pay the premium upon bis insurance. In the third place, the

, amount he pays as a premium is again i taxed when it reaches the company of

which he is a member. In the fourth

place, if the assessment of an Excess profits tax is upheld by the courts the premium is again taxed. In the fifth place, so much of his premium as is held by the company for contingencies is again taxed as a capital stock tax. In the sixth place, when the amount inshred is paid to his estate it is again taxed. "This is taxation with a vengeance. The insured is caught coming, standing still and going, in a transaction which he does not enter into for profit nd in which there can be no profit." Devoting his attention further to a consideration of Federal Income Tax Law, Mr. Rhodes not only called into question its constitutionality, so far as it affects life insurance, but gave an anaylsis of the inequality which he

said results to the various companies from the actual operation of the law. FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY RECOMMENDED HARRISBURG. Pa.. Dec. 10. Foresers of the various states in conference here today were asked by John H. Wallace, Alabama, conservation com missioner and said to be the only elective conservation official in the country, to urge immediate action for the creation of a federal department of conservation to include natural resources.
