ORGANIZATION IN FARMING,


Charles Dillon, in the Outlook.
Organization is about to assure the
farmer a larger share in the returns
Of his labor and a smaller proportion
for the commission broker. Modern
invention is making easier the labor
OF the field. and the churning and
washing that make pale faces and
weary backs and arms in the homes.
II Will take time to make men take
advantage Of an these blessings for
themselves and their families, but they
eventually will do IT, The children,
returning from the State universities
or the colleges. are the hope OF the
future, for they take to the homes new
ideas. ideas that may be antagOnistic
10 the old folk. perhaps. but ideas OF
much value that are to run the farms
in the next decade or two. The girls,
frightened by their course OF domestic
science, are telling their mothers OF
better ways TO do things; they are in
sisting on system in women's work, so
that time may be given to self-im-
provement and to social pleasures in
stead Of making life a dreary round
Of toll
Farming in the next generation or
so will be more and more scientific
the agricultural colleges are bringing
that about where properly conducted.
Modern methods Of cultivation will
mean smaller acreage and larger
Yields. with improved quality OF prod
net. As the value Of land increases.
farm communities will become the
rule-that is TO say. farmers will hold
smaller properties from which the
profits will exceed those now realized
by haphazard cultivation Of large
tracts. where weeds eat mp the earth's
food Scientific farming as it must
some day come to- be. will put farm
families into groups. and that viii
mean the womans emancipation.
Farmers Will live i'm towns or cities
and go to their fields as a business.
just as any business man or skilled
laborer now goes to- his work. IL is
so to-day i'm several parts OF North
America One such community is New
Cambria. Saline county. Kansas, where
one may see the farmers starting ont
every morning for their fields leaving
families that are happy and contented
because they are near one another and
permitted to indulge the human spirit
Of gregariousness.

Albee, March weather warm,

Bert Badacia acted as sergeant-al-

orders from headquarters.
The old chief looked at the north
and saw the snow disappearing on the
hills, which made him feel happy ami
think of the good old summer time,
and again he footed his horn for the
lads and lassies to choose partners
for the rye waltz.
While the young folks were whirl-
ing in the may waltz the old ve;er-
ans of the heath were in the highland
quarters, making a report to James
Lehman, the inspector, who took an
invoice of the spols of war for the
past year,
The excitement was now at its high
est pitch. The chief demanded halt
and ordered all to march in single file
to the commissary, where a royal
feast was prepared by the lassies.
The festivities and amusements con-
tinued two hours, after and the bnis-
ferrous crowd departed for home in
the early hours of the morning.

JAPANESE EDITORS
ARE IN TROUBLE

Tokyo.-The public trial was COM

editors of the Jill, the Asahi, the
Ycrodzu, the Nichi Nichi, the Niroku,
the Yomiuri the Chuo, the Maiyu, the
Mainichi Dempo and the Kokumin,
who are charged with infringement of
the newspaper law.
The charge was that these editors
recently published in these news
papers articles regarding the proprie-
tress of the Kiguzumi, a Tokyo res
taurant, who was murdered. The
publication of the article is regarded
as an infringement of the newspaper
law, on the ground that the murder
case is still passing through the pre-
liminary examination.-Japan Mail.
