AND
HIGH LIVING COST
Secretary Wilson Points Out That
Farmer Receives Only Half OF
Dollar Paid by Consumer
Wants More Publicity.

Washington, Dec. 8.--"The con-
sumner pay dollar for food; the
farmer gets less than so cents Of
it. Who gets the rest?"
That is the question which Secre-
tary Wilson of the department Of
agriculture asks in his annual re-
port. The secretary does not at
tempt to answer it, He does ex-
plain in some detail the results of
an investigation his department has
just concluded into the effect Of
cold storage on the wholesomeness
and cost of food. His investigation
leads him to recommend publicity
for the amount of food in cold
storage, just as the department now
gives publicity TO the condition Of
crops from month to month.
Instead of food remaining in
storage for longer than a year or
two years, as rule, the secretary
declares that his investigation
showed that receipts into cold
storage are entirely or very nearly
exhausted by the deliveries out Of
cold storage within ten months"
Long storage is the exception the
secretary asserts. Warehousemen
explained to the department that
excessively long storage was due
to lawsuits and other circumstances
of an uneommercial nature. The
cost Of storage, including storage
charge, interest and insurance, is
considered as a barrier to very long
storage.
Cold storage, the secretary re-
ports, has raised the cost of living
by increasing the annual price level
for butter and eggs.
The secretary says that an ex-
animation of the record of prices
gives a suspicion" that there has
been much speculation in some
years by the men who keep COM
modities in cold storage.
He refers to IAN apparent mis-
take" Of the storage men in over
estimating the consumption of eggs
by the public at exhorbitant prices
last winter, with the result that in
the spring the storage men had to
sell eggs at remarkably low prices
and send abroad the largest amount
of eggs ever exported in order to
get rid of the supply. The secre-
tary declares that the warehouse
men ought to be required to send
to Washington each month the
amount of commodities placed in
storage so that the public may be
able to judge of the future trend
of prices.
The success of the department in
the southern states, through object
lessons in the fields, is pronounced
to have been such as to justify the
extension Of the work to all states.
The American system of renting
land is declared to be faulty and
result in soil robbing. 1t is sug-
gested that domestic animals be
kept on farms, even if the land
owner must furnish them, and that
there be rotation of crops.
Poultry products for the past
year are estimated to have been
worth S750,000,000.
The foresters of the forestry bu-
reau are learning by experiments
how to reforest 10000 acres in a
year. The secretary says that ten
times this much must be planted
annually TO cover all the bare
acres in a generation.

The Problem Solved

Christmas is grand institution.
1t has been going ever since we can
remember, and we predict that it
will continue for years to come.
II consists of giving and fseeiv-
ing presents mostly giving. But
that is the way it should be, for
has it not been said, 1T Is More
Blessed to Give Than Receiver
If it was simply giving, people
wouldn't mind at all--it's WHAT to
gives that causes the trouble. The
problem is easily solved by coming
10 our store and looking over our
line Of Holiday Goods. A look can
not help but settle the eternal ques-
iion-"What shall | give2"

LABOR leaders
Deny KNOWLEDGE
Issue Statement Setting Forth
Their Side OF Mcnamara Case
President Ryan Did Not Sign
Burns Comes Stronger.

Washington, Dec. S.--I3randing
James b. and John j. Mcnamara as
s'reereant to the good name and
high ideals Of labor" and express
ing the satisfaction of organized
labor that the "culprits had been
commensurately punished for their
crime the Mcnamara ways and
means committee of the American
Federation Of Labor, after a two
days conference here, late yester-
day issued a statement vigorously
condemning the McNamaras for
their 'inhumanity" and declaring
that organized labor should not be
held "either legally or morally re-
sponsible for the crimes Of an in
dividual member"
The labor leaders assert that they
Twill welcome any investigation
which either federal or state courts
may undertake"
Ryan Alone Did Not sign.
The statement is signed by every
member OF the Mcnamara commit
tee except +. NJ, Ryan, president Of
the International Bridge and Strue-
tural Iron Workers Union, with
which John j. Mcnamara was con-
nected officially. Mr.. Ryan return
ed to indianapolis early yesterday.
Had he remained, however" said
Samuel Gompefs, the president.
positively, Il am sure Mr.. Ryan
would have added his name. He
was called back to indianapolis by
pressure Of business. He did not
see the statement, but am sure
he is in hearty accord with its
sentiments"
Others say there was Disagree
ment over the statement, and Ryan
left rather than sign.
AS to their knowledge Of the
crime TO which the McNamaras con-
fessed, the committee in its state
ment asserts:
I'VE here and now, individually
and collectively, declare that the
first knowledge or intimation of
their guilt was conveyed by the
press in their confessions of guilt
Organized labor OF America the
statement continues. has no de-
sire to condone the crimes of the
McNamaras. II joins in the salts
faction that the majesty Of the law
has been maintained and the Gull
prits eommensurately punished for
their crime"
Partly eondoning the crime of the
MeNamaras, however, the statement
says in the following breath:
land yet ii is an awful common
tary upon existing conditions when
any one man among all the mill
lions of workers can bring himself
to the frame of mind that the only
means TO obtain justice for labor
is in violence, outrage and murder.
A Cruel Injustice TO Labor.
ut is cruelty unjust to hold the
men of the labor movement either
legally or morally responsible for
the crimes of an industrial member.
No such moral code or legal respon-
sibility is placed upon any other as
ISOLATION of men in our country.
Insofar as we have the right to
speak in the name of organized Ia
Dor, we welcome any investigation
which either federal or state courts
may undertake.
THE men of organized labor, in
common with all our people, the
committee affirms, I'VE are erieved
beyond expression in words at the
loss of life and destruction of prop
erty, not only in the case under
discussion, but in any other case

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Beware OF red rust" in blackberry
or blackcap bushes. When seen,
promptly dig up and burn the infect
ed plant, being careful not to scat
ter the fungus dust over healthy
bushes.
Muzzle the horses when blowing
or cultivating the orchard. Yes, and
pad the whiffletrees. These precau.
lions win prevent much damage to
trees. Another hint: Pad the outer
edges Of the harrow.
No grain or grass crops in tht
young orchard, please; cultivation is
best Stir the soil every two weeks
until August. 1t is a good plan to
throw two or three forkfuls Of ma
nure around each tree, after rain.
Watch for the little s,ugs darklsll

SHEEP PROFITABLE IN IDAHO

1t has been frequently stated that
sheep could not be kept profitably on
the irrigated farms of Idaho.
Mr.. George V. Leighton, ON his fam
near Meridian, i'm the Boise Valley,
has 80 acres of mixed pasture, princi-
pally blue grass and some orchard
grass, and a little alfalfa and white
clover. On this 80 acres, during the
latter part of April Mr.. Leighton
turned $50 head of sheep and lambs.
OF this number about It's We're lambs.
Mr.. Leighton received one cent a
day per head for the sheep pastured
ON This lot.
On the LIST of June the pas ,ure
was in excellent condition, and without
question would continue to support
the $50 sheep and lambs for at least
four months more. 1t will be seen
from this that one acre of land is
supporting 2S sheep, equivalent to
% cents per day for each acre. For
$50 days, the minimum pasturing sea
SON for the Boise valley, an income
of $42 per acre would be returned,
and this without any expense for la
Dor except for irrigation which Is
very moderate. The sheep are in ex-
cellent condition, and if they contin-
lie as they are at present they will be
very fat at the close of the period.
Not only is the land returning an
excellent profit which, as can be
readily seen, amounts to 10 per cent
on valuation of 1920 per acre, but
1t is rapidly increasing i'm fertility, as
these % sheep consume all the
growth and leave the droppings en-
the land, the very best possible CON
dition for improving its fertility.
AS has been stated, Mr.. Leighton
does not own the sheep, but he finds
no trouble whatever i'm getting all of
them that he cares for at the Prices
charged one cent per head per day
If he had band Of pure bred she
it can be readily seen what an Inn
mense profit could be returned. Not
only would the land be return Nc 4
profit of 10 per cent on Valuation
of 1920, but, If each pure bred sheep
had a lamb, which Is a reasonable es-
innate, these lambs would be grown
at cost of $500 per head from birth
until market, charging the entire
cost of keeping both eve and lamb
up to the lamb
On the large farms where labor is
expensive the keeping of sheep on
irrigated land under present condl-
tions certainly offers an excellent OPP
portunity for Idaho farmers.

Now is the Time to Swat the Fly

If you see fly WALKING over the
food and dishes, or ahghting on your
baby's face, remember that he lis a
messenger of disease and death, says
the July Woman's Home Companion.
The rules for dealing with the fly
nuisance, published by the Merchants
Association of New York, and widely
circulated by them, are worth re-
printing. We repeat our suggestion
that an excellent work, for any live
womans club would be to reproduce
these rules ON cards and distribute
them broadcast.
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body lis COW
cred with disease germs.
DO not allow decaying material Of
any sort to accumulate ON or near
your premises. All refuse which
tends i'm any way to fermentation,
such as bedding straw, paper waste
and vegetable matter should be dis.
posed of or covered with lime or kerr
osene.
Screen all food. Keep all recepta-
Giles for garbage carefully covered
and the cans cleaned or sprinkled
with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure ian vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparation. See
that your sewage system Is i'm good
order; that 1t does not leak, is up
to date and not exposed to flies. Pour
kerosene into the drains.
Cover food after meal; burn or
bury all table refuse. Screen all food
for sale.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially the kitchen and diningFoom.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies, that
their breeding-place is in nearby filth
1t may be behind the door, under the
table, or In the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth, there
win be no flies.
If there is a nuisance i'm the neigh
borhood, it would be advisable to
write at once to the health depart
ment

BUILDING UP HUMUS IN THE
SOIL.

From the numerous writings ON the
addition Of humus to the soil, one is
likely to conclude that he can, with
in very few years build UP a large
humus content in his soil On the
contrary it can be seen by the follow
ing figures that this is not an easy
ing to do. 1t has been found IA
not over ten per cent Of The organic
matter plowed under can DC n.,1.1ed
on as being converted INFO hG:lus,
The surface eight inches Of the aver
age clay loan weighs Approximately
about 100000 pounds. Taking the
humus content as five per cent you
would have 100000 lbs. to the acre.
If the farmer should even turn under
four tons of organic matter per acre
annually 1t would take a very long
time to build up a large humus con
tnet
Fifty years would be short time
i'm which to accumulate humus to amy
extent, and even longer time would
be required if one removes the crop
from time to time. From these fig
ures one should not conclude that the
addition of humus to the soil DIS
highly desirable, for II is. 1t can
be seen, however, that at the most
we can do but little more Within our
short lives than to maintain the humue
at a constant percentage by frequent
green manuring.
