COMMITTEES or HOUSE AND SEN.
ATE BUSY ON lNpEeENp-
EMIT LINES.

r d
WASHINGTON. jan. with the
approach Of the reconyening Of Con
gress there is renewed talk Of legisla-
ton for the relief OF the financial sit
nation and the present prospect is that
both houses soon viii be busy on that
line. The subcommittee of the
House committee on Banking and Cur
rency appointed to frame bill to
meet the present condition will re-
sume its sitting early next week and
hope is expressed that measure viii
be completed before great while.
The senate committee on Finance also
will take up the subject Immediately
after resumption of the sessions OF
the Senate, so that 1t now looks as
If there might be something of rival
ry between the two bodies as to which
will be able to first report bill. The
Senate committee has not so far for
maIly considered the subject, but
some of It's leading members, notably
Senators Aldrich, Allison and Hale
have been working in harmony in the
preparation OF bill which probably
will be ready for presentation to the
committee by the middle of the month,
If not during the first week of the
session. The committees of the two
houses are not working on the Same
lines. Both have plans for an emer-
gency currency to be issued by the
national banks. but while the House
committee is apparently inclined to
what is known as an asset currency,
the Senate committee is proceeding OF
the theory that only a very limited
list of securities should be accepted
for the increased issue to be provid-
ed for under the terms OF the pro
posed bill Some OF the members OF
the Senate committee would limit the
pledges to State bonds. while others
are willing to accept municipal paper.
Very few so far as known, would be
willing to go further.
So far there has been no agreement
as to the percentage of increase in
the volume of the currency. but tho
inclination of senators seems to be
to permit as large an augmentation
las the conditions of the banks may
| Justify. The intention is to provide
/ for comparatively high rate of inter
est, some favoring as much as S,per
cent, with the object in view of Sc
curing the retirement of the increas-
ed circulation as soon as conditions
so improve that it is not needed. 1t
is proposed to divide the country into
districts for the purpose of admins
tration with the sub-treasures as CEN
tiers, so that the officials Of the sub
treasures can pass upon the securi-
ties offered and make allotments to
the banks.
When completed, the Senate bill
probably Will be offered by Mr.. Aid
rich, but it will be the work of num-
Der of senators. Those who have the
matter in hand are hopeful OF the ac-
ceptance OF the bill by the Senate and
ultimately by the House. Some OF
the Democratic senators have been
sounded and the Republican senators
believe that they will be willing after
reasonable debate to permit the pas
sage OF such a bill as the one out
lined.
The headquarters of the House COM
mittee on Banking and Currency have
been removed during the present re-
cess from the Capitol to the House
tOmce Building. and future meetings
viii, be held in the new quarters.

The Farmers Club Movement.

AN interesting feature of the agricul-
tural development in northern NIinne-
sofa is the growth of the Farmers
clubs This movement is especially
vigorous in st. Louis county where the
farmers in the various settled COM
mupities are rapidly being organized
into clubs OF their own for the purpose
of dealing with farm problems and
advancing the interests Of the COM
munity as whole. The Commercial
Club of Duluth, comprised OF the BUSH
ness men of that city, is exceedingly
interested in seeing st. Louis county
developed from an agricultural stand
point for the reason that the future
Of the city is closely linked with the
future of the county, agriculturally
speaking. Over 80 per cent Of the
population Of that county is urban and
has to be fed with farm products from
q nearby source instead of having
them shipped in as is now the case.
In order to bring new industries into
the city and new citizens as we'll, it
is necessary to provide cheaper living.
The agricultural committee Of the
Commercial Club OF Duluth recently
secured Mr.. A. B. Hostetter, an ex-
perienced farmer and institute worker
from Illinois whose duty 1t is to act
as superintendent Of the agricultural
department OF the commercial club.
Mr.. Hostetter spends a large share of
his time among the farmers, organizing
them into clubs, lecturing at meetings,
preparing an agricultural census of the
county, introducing new varieties Of
grains, grasses and vegetables and in

The Strawpile

STOCK farming changes as farm pro-
ducts rise in value. Good farming
twenty-five years ago would land a
man in the poor house today. Then
labor was cheap, land fertile, big crops
were raised with little effort. horses
cheap, but few farm tools needed; true
stock and grain were not high, but in
comparison with the amount now In
vested in land, tools. horses, etc, the
margin of profit was more.
The man who owns a good farm
does not necessarily need to practice
first class, up-tu-date farming to
prosper; but the fellow who has large
mortgage to lift or a high rent to pay
once year must attend to his knitting
if he would lay UP treasure on earth.
Not only must he be a good tiller Of
the soil, but a good feeder of stock.
So often we see man throwing away
high priced grain, which he has labored
hard to raise and house, trying to An
ish for the market bunch of steers or
hogs that were not born right, fed
right, or handled right, consequently
he claims there is nothing in stock
except a means to an end-to en-
rich his farm. AS an object lesson, If
nothing else, every owner OF a farm
should tolerate only high class Of
live stock. Often we notice man
driving a noble team of horses, that
were raised from choice mares, bred
to the best imported stallion he could
find, and there his admiration for good
stock ceases: his cattle are of fndif
ferent breeding; his hogs of all colors.
He selects a bull to freshen his cows, a
boar that he can buy for SIS or less
His more unlucky neighbor, who is in
debt, takes notice: if good sires are
money makers, why does this rich man
stick to scrubs? If that man would
be as particular in selecting bull
or boar that was bred from long
line of noble ancestors, as his stallion,
he would be teaching his less FORUM
ate brother a lesson to be proud of.
Not all of us can or care to handle
a. pure bred herd, but a sire who has
sprung from noble blood is within
reach of every man; such an animal
represents the most flesh that can be
created from given amount of good.
High priced land raises high priced
grain, and the poor man will get poorer
unless he feeds that grain to the best
flesh producers he can find. Remean-
Der good bull adds S. or $40 value
to each calf at a year old, and an i'm
lpressive boar will make each Of his
pigs worth from so cents to 81 more
at six months.
This fall grain is dear feeding, and
be sure you make no mistake in pur-
chasing sire, for his get will eat
this grain. Profit is What you are
after, and profit you will not get If you
take home a sire under age, poorly fed
or of scrub breeding. To have your
COWS fresh is very important, but the
calf must be fed, so why not have it
a good calf? Your cry in hogs is bone
and big litters. Look after the feed
ing qualities better and you will have
more pork and less squeal.

A SCHOOL SUGGESTION.

| A County schoolma'am am down about
Shenandoah, in Page county, has done
her school and county an excellent
service. She appears to have had ex-
ceptional training for she was able to
show her classes how to test milk with
a Babcock testing machine. How she
got hold of the machine does not APP
pear. However, she secured one, the
the various herds in the community
and the tests were made. Nothing more
actually valuable as an adjunct to the
regular exercises can be imagined.
The greatest value consisted not so
much in the Unite of the children
into the process of testing milk as in
manifesting the readiness with which
any person with common sense and
little carefulness might test his own
milk. The difference in fat produc-
ton between the Brown and Jones
herds, or between Old Muley and Spot
also taught the eNCeilSllL FedsoliS Why
evry milk producer should know what
his cows were actually doing. 1t will
be hard for worthless cows to fool
most of the boys who helped the
schooln1a am test that milk into feed
ing them good corn. And the testing
in nowise distracted attention from the
multiplication table, if the schoolrna'am
knows her business as she seems to
do
There are many such things for
sehooima' ANS to do, if they will. An
hour or two under competent instruc-
ton would enable any bright person to
conduct pretty satisfactory and cor
rect milk test OF course it isn't in the
'.list of studies butthe PERCENTAGE on
{, teachers certificate never yet made
a teacher Her ability to pass is
only a license to try.
We need a lot more of the practical
in the schools problems that belong to
our classes and occupations worked
out in a practical way, less theory and
more things. Such capable school
nlaams as; the one who tested milk
before Page county school are help
ing some.

lust COMFORTABLY FIXED.

The Burlington Ha;WIreye, reading of
the lease of a Hardin county farm at
$3.50 an acre, is aslonished at the
prosperity of Iowa farmers and farm
owners. However, there is nothing in
the case referred to tosexcite great as
tonishment in central Iowa. The Iowa
Falls land would probably sell on the
market for 500 to 1925 an acre. At
500 the owner is getting 51s per cent.
paying out about " per cent for
taxes and repairs, leaving something
like 3A per cent on investment. If
we add 5 per cent for the speculative
value of the land, he is getting a good
return OF ~ per cent. But what city
landlord expects less than 10 per cent
in cash rental?
If the farm owner wants more he
must take his chance with the tenant,
possibly in bad years to complete loss
OF his revenue, in good years to a
largely increased rental. One Mar
shalltown farm owner of a Vienna
township farm takes half the corn and
two fifths of the small grain. His 100
brings him 81, 100 to s1,400 annually or
nearly 50 an acre in prosperous years.
Ii we ada the S per cent of advanced
value to. this he is getting between
8 and Ia per cent in the gross.

AS TO LOCAL OPTION.

Indiana has Just passed a county
local option law which is fully in ac-
cord with the republican, platform of
the state organization, the effect on the
vote Of the state at the coming cleo
ton is being canvasseil very serious
Nv. The democrats had another plan
OF local option. They would have, ac-
cording to- their platform ward and
township local option. The legislature
under the eye OF the voters of the state
very naturally refused to offend the
intelligence Of the state by accepting
so manifest a subterfllge and passed
the republican. measure Local option
by wards and townships or by school
districts or precincts or any of the
smallest political subd divisions scarce
~ would enable neigllborhood to rid
itself of saloons. Il might and would
make for a procession Ito and from the
wards where personal liberty to .fil

be hard to find. So they turned to the,
