RESOURCES TO-BE
DEVELOPED NOW
Hy tho Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY Mo.. Sept. 2D.-Development
of the Internal resources of
the United States rather than r striv
ing after foreign commerce waft tint
ed as tho greatest opportunity before
this country In an address here to
day by Josoph "Hlrscli or Corpus
Christl Texas before tho annunl con-
volition of tli American Hankers' As
sociation. Mr. Hlrsch. himself u bank-
er is a member of tho association's
agricultural commission and his ad'
dress served as the Annual report ct
ma; committee.
Tho work being done throughout
tho United States particularly in ths
South for th development or agri-
cultural communities was outlined bv
Mr Hlrsch. He spoke of lmnrou-l
conditions still Inferior however h
said to the countries of Europe that
practice intensified fanning and tol-1
how country fnrm advisers agricultu
ral associations boys and girls club-.
college and school nud .various organ
izations were Instllliuz ideas of bet
tor country life throughout the nation.
The Agricultural betterment work
being dono In practically every stato
in the union was outlined by Mr
Illrsch and he declared that It wa?
his hope that soon ijvery county Iv
till tho states would have employed a
farm demonstration agent through co
operation with the federal department
of agriculture. This can bo done hi
said by tho Smith-l.evor act undo
which thera now Is available JU.'SO.OOO
but which will Increase half a million
dollars each year until 1922 when it
will havo reached H.GSO.GOO contin
gent upon similar appropriations from
the stuteo.

The ordlnnnco was urgeu dj Hoorai)n0fl anil Mnnt.EOta( nnd they havo im-
measurably increased tho wealth ol
their Btates by development of the
dairying and livestock Industries" he
said "Theso states have been foro-
most In the development of the con-
solidated rural and agricultural high
schools and good roads movements"
Michigan has xnoro than fifty agri-
cultural schools and Mlbsourl "has
dono some remarkable county agent
work." Iowa Nobraska Kansas and
Oklahoma "report Increasing Interest
in tho work. Through improved
farming methods Kansas has become
one of the richest statqs in the un-
ion." Mr. Hlrsch touched upon the work
being done by practically all tlw
states but it was of tre south how-
ever of which Mr. Hlrsch spoke at
tho greatest length. Texas was de-
clared to havu employed already more
than one hundred agents and a bank-
ers committee composed of one mem
ber from each county Is fostering the
Improvement spirit. Last year the
state's cotton warehouse capacity was
increased by more than 700000 bales
and a state-wide campaign now is be
ing conducted for increased uvcsiock
production.
"Southern bankers have been pract-
ically active becauso the need of ag-
ricultural development has come more
closely home to tho bankers of the
South" Mr. Hlrsch said.
V "Tne great rurai pruoicm u :
country .aa IL has been of all coun-
tries is to make a nation in win-
owners." "Sir. Hlrsch addedt "Tho fu-
ture of this nation depends upon its
agricultural prosperity. The estab;
lishroent or agricultural v;iu. -
the consolidation of rural schools
o-hh win eivo our tarm cuumcu u-
tii facilities eaual to those en
joyed by their brothers and sisters of
thd towns constitute the foundations
of a permanent agricultural prosper
ity."

MEXICO TO INCREASE
PACIFIC COAST IV UTS TKAI
Correspondence Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY Sept. 10. Meanures
are being prepared by tho Mexican
government to Increase truffle or the
.I'aciric coast ports i Tho department
of communications nnd public works
has outlined two new railroad lines
which will connect tho district east
of the Sierra Mudre with Gunyinnrt
and Mazntlan and engineers now are
engaged In selecting tho most avail-
able route through the mountains from
Chihuahua and Uurango.
Ono of theBo roads as projected
would probnbly run from Tejolocachl
on the lino 'from Chihuahua to Ma-
dera to Guayinas. The other would
pass across the" mountains from Dti-
rango to Mazattan. At present tho
shipment of freight across tho Sierra
"Madro practically Is Impossible as
tho Journey through the passes from
Uurango Is about twelve days ride by
muluback.
Plans already havo been prepared to
mako Mazntlan and Guaymas deep
water harbors. Two plana have been
outlined for Mazatlan. ono to cost
about twenty-cue million pesos and
tho other about fourteen millions.
KIthor would through breakwaters
and diversion of tho present channel
rllow ocean steamers of tho deepest
draught to dock directly at the rail-
road terminal and load and discharge
cargo direct from and to tho cars.
Kach plan would provido tho filling
lu of a section now covered with wat-
er at certain times of the day and tho
government expects by tho sale of
this mado land to cut tho price of
the Improvements nearly two-thirds.
A breakwater which .would deepen
and keen clear the channel at Guay
mas also Is projected. This however.
will cost much less than will the
Mazatlan improvements.
The governments has also taken
steps to re-establish operation of the
lighthouses alcng both the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts many of which
hava been dark since ordered closed
by Huerta after the American occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz In 1914.

DUBLIN Ireland. Sept. 29. The ef-
forts of tho Irish Department of Ag-
riculture to Increase tho food supply
liuvo resulted In im addition of ovur
85000 acrea of land to the area un-
der cultivation. Instructions have
been sent about the country advising
farmers as to the best nicWns of utt
lizlng their land and the growing '
catch crops. '
Although Ireland has a flouilshlne
linen trade In Belfast it does not to
any great extent grow its own flax
and tho department has been endeav-
oring to rflmedy this. Early in Aug-
ust 1014. the Department issued a
memorandum advising flax-growers to
save flax-seed for their Bowing re-
quirements the following spring. The
procuring of seed during the season
of 191415 was attended with consid-
erable difficulties. Upon representa-
tions of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture facilities were obtained through
the Intervention of the Foreign Office
for the export of seed from Russia
and Holland to this country. Though
these supplies helRed the flax-grow
ers It was lnsutuctent to meet incir
full rttqulreraents A Society of Flax-
Growers has been formed ana ar
rangements have been mado for tho
cultivation of the crop on a mpre ex-
tensive scale.
