Farm Life improvement.

n altruism could be impressed on
people as a personal obligation our
back-to-the-farm projects might be
brought to better results II one
class OF individuals could be made TO
see it's duty in giving up the attrac-
tiveness OF city life, returning to the
country and cultivating the soil for
the general good, we might be able to
balance the scales OF supply and de-
mand, production and consumption
and equalize the distribution OF popu-
lation, but there is no hope of making
any considerable number Of people see
that. Consequently, until we abandon
altruism and adopt self-interest as the
pivot Of this great movement we shall
meet with no significant fruition.
II is this consideration Of self
interest, underlying the scheme Of con-
solidating country schools, which
promises success. The plan has been
introduced in Hardin county, Iowa,
with excellent prospects, and is about
to be tried in Minnesota, under the
personal influence of Governor Eber-
hart. The fundamental idea is to
merge several schools into one, where
It will be possible, by combined re-
sources of many districts, to give a
large number Of children advantages
which they could not get without going
to the city for them. Right there,
theoretically at least, they close the
gate to the city by supplying the first
demand which impels the farmer to
move to town or send his children
there. That is bringing the city to the
country in the most practical way. In
this Iowa county 1873 school districts
have been made into twenty. Instead
of many crude, small houses there is
one central school building, modern
in every particular, with its lecture
halls. class rooms, lunch rooms, gym
nasiums and public halls--for these
schools are to be social centers where
the grown-ups may gather and discuss
the ways and means of life.
This sort of system, you say, will
turn the country child's head away
from country life. No. that possibility
is met in the provision Of model gar
dens, orchards. diaries and classes in
soil culture, crop rotation and all that
They are keeping the young mind in
touch with the farm and cultivating
love for it by intensive methods.
Thus, while bringing the city to the
country, they are deepening interest
in country life and making It more
profitable by centering all the develop
ment and education around the indi-
ViduaPs material welfare.
When the scheme was hrst proposed
the objection was raised of the incon-
venience of children from a distance
reaching the central schools This is
simply provided by the auto van
route system, already in vogue in some
western states. This, in Itself, adds
another attractive feature calculated
to stimulate the childrens interest in
the whole movement. The results in
Iowa and Minnesota are we'll worth
watching by .other states.

The Boston Fruit and Produce exchange,

has sent strong appeal to congress for

thought they could see possible harm to
some kinds of farm produce in some To-

other localities would benefit, and the net

Review.
This bright picture of business con-
ditions, painted by so conservative an
authority as Duns Review, may we'll
be received by the people generally
as offsetting any lurid view of depres-
sion drawn from the other side. The
tone and sustained optimism of Dun's
is so commanding that we have felt
like reproducing this much of it for
the benefit of those who might have
heard some siren voice speaking on
the subject.
Not only Dun's, but Bradstreet's
and the Commercial and Financial
Chronicle Of New York, take similar
views of the outlook. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion of those who have
right to expert opinions that pros
poets are for a year of increasing
prosperity throughout 1911. 1t is in
teresting to note the correlation of
politics and business in the formation
Of this situation, as suggested by the
Chronicle which, after admitting
that there has been much to stimu-
late cheerful thoughts in recent
periods" declares:
A further encouraging feature has been
the circumstance that President Taft =
In his message to congress in December
took occasion to express the opinion that
existing legislation with reference to the
regulation OF corporations and the restraint
Of their business has reached a point where
we can stop for while and witness the
effect Of the laws already on the statute
books. II will be remembered that he also
indicated his belief that 1t was lin the
interest OF all the people OF the country
that for the time being the activities of
government in addition to enforcing the
existing law be directed toward .
the building up Of home industries and the
strengthening of confidence of capital in
domestic investment"
Even those who felt anxious about
the conservative tone of this executive
utterance have since had ample evil
dence to allay their feelings and re-
assure them in the hope of safe and
aggressive influence from the White
House. The time is past when our
business interests move along indie
pendently from our machinery OF poll
tics and government, which serves but
to emphasize the imperative need of
reliable political leadership.

In 1900 the barley crop of the United
States was 100000 bushels, of a farm
value on December I OF about Il cents a
bushel. The exports OF that year were a
little less than 100000 bushels. About
that time the farmers discovered that
there was a fair profit in barley and
acreage was largely increased. with a con-
siderable gain I'm average Weld. The crop
of 1910 was 162 10000 bushels, Of a Deem

exports of the calendar year 1910 were
$4,000 bushels. This is one of the indus
tries now said to be threatened with de-
struction through Canadian competition.

Canada were 43, 654 66S bushels, AZ, lS7, 40 and
