Beating The Yankee.

Beating The Yankee.
Commissioners Wallace asked
if it was not a fact that the for.
eigner makes living where the
original Yankee could not, and
while Mr.. Ellsworth seemed
somewhat loath to admit it, he
finally answered that the foreign
er usually secures a farm from
which the Yankee has made a
graceful retreat"
These words are from the pro-
ceedings OF the National Com.
mission on Country Life, as re-
ported in the Boston Transcript.
They cast a rather curious light
on farming industry that never is
mentioned in the bulletins Of the
Department OF Agriculture. 1t
may be that in them is the ex-
planation Of the violent agitation
in New England against immigra-
ton. They direct attention to
the fact that the Yankee is not
necessarily supreme, however
often he makes ths assertion, or
with what emphasis he puts it
forth.
The foreigner has many quail
ties from which we could learn
something to our advantage.
One of them is skill, possessed
in highest degree by the French
and the Germans, in getting a
heavy yield from a small acreage.
Recently two English women who
had an experimental turn of mind,
set aside an acre of ground, and
turned a Norman gardener at
work upon it. He cultivated it
the year around, cared for it as
siduously, nursed every plant as
If 1t were the last representative
of q beautiful species, watched
every phase Of the weather,
snatched every hour of sunshine
and every drop Of rain, When
the season was ended and the
books were balanced there was
q net profit of So, 800, all from one
acre Of English land. When it is
remembered that in England the
economists admit that agriculture
is dead and that the island must
depend upon the outside world
for the bulk Of its food, this is a
rather startling showing.
In a way, perhaps not 80 spec
tacularly, the German truck
farmers have revealed the possi-
bility that lies in small acreage
in the United States. In many
cases they have rented land at q
high rate near large cities, farm
ed 1t in the manner that their
fathers employed in the old
country, and have amassed for.
tunes. In New England it APP
pears that their industry and tall
lent have become a force. They
hayeresurreoted the abandoned
farms," persuaded plant life to
take kindly to the stony soil and
stepped upon the conceit OF the
Yankee.
It is just as well that the Ccun-
TRY Life Commission Is bringing
Iout some Of the Shortcomings OF
1.-THE native American. He has
i succeeded SO often and 80 well
that he is inclined to believe be

Great Farmers Meeting at
Colombia.

meeting held at Columbia last
week under direction of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture
is the only one who can properly
appreciate the profit and pleasure
that it is possible to get out of
such q meeting. The attendance
exceeded 1000, and the men and
women who came from the many
Missouri farm homes went back
better satisfied with their occupa-
tions, more enthusiasticas to their
work and more hopeful for the
future. Important as was the
actual instruction to be had, the
enthusiasm and the broader, bet
ter, brighter outlook which the
visitor carried home Is of vastly
more Importance. Then this
meeting is just the place for Mis-.
souri, farmers to meet; for the
cotton grower. the orehardlst, the
corn king, the stock raiser, the
poultry fancier and men from all
the widely separated districts of
Missouri to get acquainted. This

There was a feast of good
things, and throughout the entire
meeting the keynote was better

the Missouri farmers family.
The Home Makers Conference
was one of the very best features
Of the weeks program. Among
the speakers was Miss Martha
Van Rensselaer,, of the Depart

on "What the State May do for
the Farmers Wife" She declar.
ed that the greatest'woman in all
history is the Missouri farmers
wife who finds time to attend TO
the household duties and to bring
up a family of boys and girls in
the proper way. "Men and
women," said Miss Van Rens-
slaer, "should work together for
the conveniences of The farm
home" She gave it as her opin-
ion that the best right that can be
given TO q woman is to give her
the intelligence that will make
her an ideal wife and mother, for
there is no higher calling given
to woman than to learn how to
keep q home" every dollar, y

on Christmas packages and on letters,
business and social, during the holiday
season. Besides forming an excellent
substitute for the conventional stickers,
the Wisconsin Christmas stamp carries
a message of hope in the fight against
consumption, while the penny paid for
it goes into a great and worthy work.
Every city, village and hamlet in
Wisconsin will have local headquar-
ters and campaign manager. There
will be plenty of stamps for everyone
and the price places them within the
reach of the poorest persons. A fine
organization has been perfected by
Stanley A. Douglas, whose experience
in the first campaign last fall gives pro-
mise of an even more successful cam
paign this year. Church, school and
state have joined the movement. Gov.
Davidson, Archbishop Messmer, State
Supt of Schools Cary and hundreds of
leading men endorse and participate in
the campaign. The best citizenship of
Wisconsin is enlisted.
The above cut shows the exact size
of the stamp but does not do justice to
its beauty. 1t is fine work Of art in
two colors-good enough to grace for
NAL social letter or commercial circular;
gift package that cost 25 cents or one
that cost S25. The stamps may be pur-
chased anywhere in Wisconsin on and
after November 30.
