SOME OBSERVATIONS IN EUROPE
By J. Phil Campbell, Stete Director
of Extension in Georgia.
There is a splendid county
agent system in Great Britain.
The work is not connected with
the Colleges and there is no
central staff of specialists. I ran
a cross boys and girls club mem
bers in the remote districts,
Extension work is carried on
tisroughout continental Europe in
one way or another and seems
to be so organized as to reach]
most of the people. Due to the
village life, il is easy to reach
the adults as well as the juniors.
The small field areas and the pro
ximity of the same to one’s neigh
bors make for a uniform system
of farming and handling the crops.
The indivicual farmer is compelled
to get all there is out of the land
as he nas such a small area to
farm. For the most part, ail work
is done by hand due to the small
acreage per farmer and this acre
age being distributed in many
cases in small strips over a wide
ly scatiered territory.
HOME ECONOMICS “
The Home Economics is not
nearly so well developed 9s in
this country., My impression is
that the women of Europe are as
much interested in agriculture as
in home economics. I am also
inclined to think that the women
are giving as much attention to
agricultural education and agri
cultural prretices as they are to
home economics. There are
specia! schools of agriculture forl
‘womer,
Most of the farm work in France
and Germany is being done by
women. We saw two Or three
women to one man workin-in the
filelds and harvesting the crops.
This was not true in Great Britain
and [lolland, The wcmen of
these countries, though, have
many duties around the dairy and
in the flower fields.
I failed to find a window screen
thronghout my entire tour of Eu
rope. No house flies nor mosquig
toes were encountered anywhere.
Everything is kept clean inside
and out. Women was constantly
polishing the brass and wood work
Once a week the house washed
outside. Streets was kept clean
in spite of the fact that the barns
are inside the house and the re
fuse is piled at the door. There
no waste anywhere. Everything
must b 2 sonserved to sustain the
people.
FARMER'S ORGANIZATIONS,
The Farmer seem tobe well or-I
genized in what is called “The Na
tional Farmers ‘Union” in Englang
and Scotland. A recent survey
had -been conducted to determine
the percentage of farmers belong
ing to the association. The lowest
percentage in my country I visited
was fifty-two and the highest
eighty-three, The Union tackled
all problems, including production
and marketing. The Extension
system and farmers’ organizations
were working in very close har
mony,
A recent tax act releved the
farm Jands from taxation, both lo
cal and national. The national
goverdment remblirses the county
government for the loss of the
land tex. The tax continues on
the net income from the farm and
farm equipment,
The organization in Holland
handles all farm. crop, animal and
fire insurance. It also handles all
marketing of crops and livestock
products, The farmers own all
marke! machinery, including suc-|
tion houses and other eq.aipment.l
They also operate the same. '
It is more dilficuit to secure in-‘
formation along this line in France
and Germany, but a saies map in
the office of the Potash Society
showed that their direct sales tol
the Agricutursi Society equaled
their sales to the fertilizer dealers.
The cost of upkeen of the Agricul
tural Societies: to the farmers
amounted annually from one to
two cents per acre on their lands.

FARM LEADERS °
Dyer of Indiana, and Reed of
Minnesota, Declare for
‘ Smith.
RASKOB ADDRESSES FARMERS
Democratic Chairman Stresses Need
for Program Which Will Bring
Farm Prosperity—Urges
P Tariff Equality.
o ———
Further evidence that sentiment for
Governor Smith iz sweeping the Mid
dle West is contained iz the announce
ment that J. F. Reed, for seven years
president of the Mipnesota Farm Bu
reau federation, and John Napier Dyer
of Vlnco\nnel. Indiana, director in the
American Farm Bureau federation
will support the Democratic candidate
for President.
Both Reed and Dyer Liave been life
long Republicans. Each has issued a
statement setting forth that the Re
publicarn party has turned a deaf ear
to American agriculture and that the
championship of the cause of the farm
#r by Governor Smith how compels
true friends of agriculture to enlist in
the Democratic forces.
Meanwhile, John J. Raskob, Chair
man of the Demoeratic National Com
mittee, was asserting the urgent need
for & national policy giving the farmer
prosperity and tariff equality.
“The greatest insurance for our fu
ture prosperity,” said Mn Raskob,
“will depend on our abilify to increase
the purchasing power of the farmer.
That can be done only through giving
‘the farmer tariff protection, thus put
ting him on an equality with industry
and enabling him to pay the high
wages for farm labor which he lis
compelled to pay in competition with
industry.”
Cycle of Prosperity
Putting our farms on a profitable
earning basis, Mr. Raskob pointed out,
would give the farm population,
“which constitutes 30 pér cent of our
total population, tremendously in
ereased purchasing power. Now pur
ehasing power means consumption and
consumption requires production—pro
duction requires labor and labor em
ployed again means purchasihg power
and thus the cycle ot plosperity is
completed.”
Feeling that the Farm Bureau fed
eration should be non-partisan, Mr.
Reed has resigned from his position as
president of the Minnesota bureau to
adopt the course of supporting Gover
por Smith to whichh he says he is com
pelled by the present issue between
the Republicans and Democrats.
“Both the platform and the camd!-
date of the Republican party,” says
Mr. Reed, “withhold from agriculture
sany promfise of an adequate remedy
for existing conditions, confining their
agricultural pledge to vague generall
ties which in no way dcidne nor suggest
nor promise the remedy long sought by
American agriculture—‘Control and or
derly marketing of crop surpluses with
adequate provision for the distribution
of the costs upon the marketed units
of the crops benefited.
Honesty Compels Endorsement
“The platform of the Democratic
party and the pronouncement of its
candidate upon the question of agrl
cultural equality embraces so definite-
Iy and clearly the principles held vital
to any adequate farm relief plan by
myself and the farmers of the state
generally, that candor and honesty
compels me to sadorse the platform
snd the candidate of the Democratic
| party.”
After reciting the fallure of the Re
publican party to keep its pledges to
agriculture, and the repudiation of the
tarmer's cause by Herbert Hoover, Mr,
Dyer announces that he is quitting the
Republican party, “disgustéd with its
lack of honor in the repudiation of its
solemn pledges to the American farm
or, arfd I am aligning myself with the
Democratie party, with faith in its
- jeader.” . _ :
Mx. Dyer, operator of a thousand
acre farm in Kunex county, Indians,
also states that he 18 & dry and &
Protestant. He is president of the
Knox County Horticultural assocla
tion, and is one of the leading fruit
~ growers of the couatsy.

Is stropping a playful gesture
to amuse you!
Or has the new Valet Auto Strop Razor
proved thai there is a fundamental
reason for stropping?
YES, all barbers are insane . . «so are other mill
ions of men ... if stropping a blade to sharpen
it is useless.
But you know that cvery barber tht;);ghout the en
tire world knows that he muststrop before he shaves.
An unstropped edge is like a row of needles. It
pulls and tears the skin.
There is one razor and onlmnc which automati
cally insures o stropped blade for every shave—
The Valet Auto Strop Razor.,

of research and the expenditure of a million dollars
in experiments. Everywhere men are adopting it
because of its new-day improvements.
Perfectly balanced and self-adjusting, its friendly
angle fits the face and cuts through the stiffest beard
with smooth precision. With the Valetite-processed
blade it is a marvel of shaving case.
Blades are inserted or removed simply by pressing
a button. Blades are locked in firm, non-flexible
grip that eliminates vibration and pull. New type
,uard lets you use the full shaving edge. And-—
undamentally important —the exclusive self-strop
ping feature keeg- the blade edge super-sharp. No
need to remove blade to strop or clean it.
Weigh these facts. You know barbers haven't been
wrong for 2,000 years in stropping. Why experi
ment with your face!
Give a Valet Auto Strop Razor a fair trial. You'll
quickly learn to like it—then you'll never go back
to an unstropped blade.
