ORGANIZATION
IN RURAL LIFE
More Thoroughly Appreciated
Than Ever Before.
A SOCIAL IMPROVEMENT.
The United States Department of Ag
riculture Seeks to Promote the Wei.
fare of the Farmer by Advocating
Concerted Effort Along Many Lines.
The value of organization in rural
life is now more thoroughly appreel.
ated than ever before, and the United
States department of agriculture is de.
voting much attention to assisting co
operative farmers' associations of va
rious kinds. In an article on this sub
Ject published in the new year book
of the department some of the pur
bposes which may be served by organ.
- -ed activity among farmers are stated
to be the Introduction of new crops,
the maintenance of standard strains of
seed, the control of plant, and animal
diseases, the development of cstablish
ed industries, such as dairying and
cattle raising, road improvement, the
marketing of farm produce, the im

Two general types of organizations
are now being utilized in the agrieul
tural extrnsion work. County organi
ntions, often enlled farim burrenus, are
behig formed to take the initiatlive in
securing loial support for the county
agents. Many of these organizlltions
-include business and professional men
as well as faners, It is clearly ap -
Jparent, however, that the farming ico
ple thetselves should control and in
the end determine the character and
work of these organizations.
Another type of local organization is

FERTILIZEFRS FROM WASTE.
Garbage Is Valuable When Returned
to the Soil.
P'repared by United States department of
agriculture.)
A survey of the nation's resources in
fertilizer materials has drawn atten
tion to the large supply of these to be
found in the accumulation of garbage
In cities. This waste material con
tains nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, which are recognized as essen
tial to the production of large crops.
Valuable as these elements are to the
farms of the country, the garbage in
which they are found is a source of
trouble and expense to the cities. It
seems, therefore, that this garbage can
be disposed of most advantageously by
returning it to the soil In the form of
fertilizer.
In cities of 100,000 people or more the
reduction of garbage by methods
which furnish a residue lit for fertilizer
use has proved to be i profitable mu
nicipal enterprise. and 111i smaller coin
