THE FARMERS PRICES.

LET prizes" said Governor Har-
mon, of Ohio. in his speech at a recent
agricultural meeting, "be given not
only to the farmers who raise the
largest crops. but to the farmers who
get the biggest price for their crops
after they are raised
This is thought worthy of the
deepest consideration of the farmer.
A farmer like manufacturer or a
business man can work his head off
trying to produce quantity instead of
quality 1t is just the same on a
farm when it comes to results as 1t Is
anywhere else, so acres well titled
and cared for is better than go acres
half-cultivated. Too many farmers
actually waste their land. If some
lhusbandmen would labor as hard to
get a good price for their crops as
they do to raise the crop, intensive
farming would astonish the world.
Getting a price for crop is really
an art in itself 1t certainly brings
the business side of farming out in
clear contrast.
Verify does the farming occupation
lrequire a diversity of talent. The
farmer must be weather forecaster,
an entomologist "a chemist, physi-
clan, and last, but by no means least,
La salesman. And if his craftsmanship
knowledge is not able to place his
lproducts to advantage, all his other
knowledge will go for naught
While the farmer is training his
lcrop-raising ability he must also trair
Ibis price-getting ability Let hin
lsee to it that the former does not ge

Editor TIMEs:-
Dear Sir:-I noticed an editorial in
your paper of Friday, December sth,
1911 under the head of city Building
Again
This editorial. in my estimation pro-
poses very needed and long felt want.
II followed up and laid down on the
lines you suggest we will have one OF
the greatest centers in the Calumet dis
trict that is in the United States.
One suggestion which you make and
which think the most needed at the
present time is the drainage of the
Little Calumet marsh from the Illinois
state line east to the Porter county
line and further, If the people in that
county desire it.
There is some twenty-five thousand
acres of some of the finest black soil IN
the United States in this valley. The
cost of draining this marsh is estimat-
ed at $4,000. One corn crop after this
marsh would be drained would pay for
the entire cost. Now IL this was drain
ed and cut up into five, ten an twenty
acre tracts, just think of the produce
that could be raised on same. Instead
of all the Calumet district citizens
sending to South Water street. Chicago
abundance to spare.
- We ought to have a boulevard system
complete through the entire Calumet
district. This could be done very
cheaply, as most OF the line would be
donated for Such purposes. All these
Improvements and many others would
be very easily accomplished, If, you
suggest. there would be a district
council or district league from the
different cities and towns in the Calu-
met district to act in the matter. / be-
tlieve such council or league could be
formed IL he right enthusiasm was
drought to bear. Everyone seems sc
.lbusy in the way of commereialism tina,
IAN these needed improvements are sad
lily neglected.
Will suggest that You will take 1t ir
hand and call a convention in one of the
iCalumet district cities of the different
who would be likely to be most inter
ested-to meet at a certain time in TIL
near future to form such a council o.
league and get busy some of tn,
needed improvements. I would be pleas
ed to lend my support and energy II
any such proposition. The old saying
: is, do it now don't put it Off.
], Yours respectfully,

WHY OMIT DU BARRY, EFT AL

We confess a great interest in the
list of the twenty greatest women"
of the world as compiled by DR.. Anna
Shaw the more or less famous sufra-
gette. Had it been male who select
ed the greatest" there might have
been an excuse but for woman to
choose as the greatest women some
of the most notorious courtesans that
ever lived it is battling. Here Incl
dentally is DR.. Shaw's list:
Eve, vashti, Miriam (the
prophetess), Catherine of Russia,
Bcadicea of Britain. Cleopatra,
queen Elizabeth, Nine. Guion,
Charlotte Corday, Joan of Arc,
Elizabeth of Hungary, George
Eliot. Florence Nightingale, Abigail
Adams, Lueretia Mott, Emma VIII
lard. Mary Lyon, Elizabeth Fry,
Maria Mitchell. Queen Louise OF
Denmark, Harriet Martineau. Miss
NJ. Carey Thomas. Jane Adams of
Chicago and Elizabeth Strachan.
We are puzzled to figure out how
Dr. Shaw omitted the Pompadour, Du
Barry and Mrs Guinness when she
includes Catherine of Russia, Cleo
patra, Elizabeth and Corday. O.
course it was quite a great stuRt fol-
Corday to stab Marat in his bath tut
and Antony probably thought Cleo
patra the .sonliest one" but for {
modern woman to string out such
list of notorious females and pas
them out as great-well it is al
enigma unless she wanted to get he
name in the papers.
