4 WHO IS THE REAL u. S. =
+ GOVERNMENT? +

Did you notice how calm the
government is when arresting
millionaireS like the beef barons,
and how excited it gets when
hunting down workingmen?
Government officials are not
only kind, gentle and considerate
with millionaires when they vio-
late the law, but also very apollo
getic. But when workingmen
are charged with some violation
of the law, they are hunted down
like wild animals.
We don't know, of course,
whether the labor leaders just ar
rested are guilty or innocent, But
everybody knows that for days
the trust newspapers have been
getting inside information, and
printing the names of the men
the government expected to in
dict.
And then it was all arranged
for grandstand playa regular
roundup. All of the indicted
workingmen were arrested on
the same day, so as to make big
story for the newspapers.
While on the face of things the
government is acting for the peo-
pie, the most interested concern is
the steel trust.
In order to maintain slavery in
the steel business, the steel trust
must prevent organization of
workingmen in every branch of
the steel trade.
And every other trust is inter
ested in having the steel trust
victorious in its war against

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 23-Mr. B.
B. Cain, president of the Texas
Commercial Secretaries and
Business Mems Association, has
recommended the organization
of a Farm Life Commission to
study agricultural problems.
Mr.. Cain. in connection with Mr..
Peter Radford, president of the
Farmers Union. has made a
searching investigation into the
agricultural needs of the state.
In discussing this subject before
the annual meeting of the Com
mercial Secretaries Association.
at Houston recently, Mr., Cain
said in part:
A sale Of any commodity at
less than cost of production is an
economic waste and almost ap-
proaches a crime. After study
ing the subject am firmly con-
WINGED that any permanently
successful plan for the raising
and marketing of farm products
is practically impossible without
strong organization.
Il am so deeply impressed
with the Importance of aiding
the producer that | present for
your consideration as the special
feature of our work for the
coming year, the creation of a
Farm Life Bureau, whose duty
it shall be to cooperate with the
Farmers Union, if possible, and
make a thorough study of farm
life and farm problems with the
single purpose of making the
business of farming, fruit grow
ing and truck raising more re-
munerative and the environ
ment of that class of citizens
more attractive.

Farm Demonstration Work

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 10
Over $125, 900 will be expended
in Texas this year in farm dem
onstration work. The Federal
Government has appropriated
$50, 900 of this amount and the
balance has been set aside by the
Commissioners Courts IN this
state. Texas has 116 demonstra-
ton agents in 116 different coun-
ties. 81 of whom are located in
West Texas and SO in the eastern
section of the state, and accord
ing 10 reports there are Ii, 800
farmers cooperating with them
in this work. Farm demonstra-
ton work as it is termed, con-
sists of showing the farmer how
to plant, care for, and harvest
his crops. This is accomplished
by inducing the farmer to set
aside a certain area of land and
follow government methods of
planting, thereby increasing the
yields of the crops. The princi-
pal methods advocated by the
demonstration agents are wide
planting and careful selection of
seed and in every case where
these rules have been followed.
the production has increased
practically 80 per cent. For in
stance, in Fayette county the
farmers, following scientific
methods of planting under gov
eminent supervision. harvested
this season over 900, 600 pounds
of COW peas which were planted
between the corn rows. This
vegetable was raised with very
little trouble and brought the
growers 3 IA cents per pound.

Mr.. j. w. Reynolds, of Kent, is
now the proud possessor of one of the
finest young Holstein bulls ever raised
on the Pacific Coast. Some time ago
Mr.. Reynolds sold off most of his herd
of dairy COWS, reserving herd of
young heifers. In order to establish
an up-to-date dairy herd of milk COWS
he bought from Thomas Carmichael
of Castor, Oregon, Wapato Colantha
Cornucopia Boy, whose register num-
Der is 97l25, dropped March 28th,
1917. The name itself is proof to

animal is out of the best strain of
Holsteins in the world, as the Colantha
strain has produced the world record
in milk and butter fat. Not only is
Mr.. Reynolds to be congratulated in
getting such an animal to head his
herd. but the entire county is to be
congratulated in getting an animal of
so much merit.

ATTACKS KILLING OF VEALERS.
The bulletin recites that in the last
five years 20 per cent of the ranchers
in the West and in Texas have gone

tinues, ''the central states have quit

The practice should be discontinued
by the farmers.
zone of the greatest drawbacks to
live stock farming in Illinois is too
much landlordism. A landlord moves
to town and rents his farm to the
highest bidder. He will not spend
any money for lmprovem ents on his
farm, and the renter, therefore, is
unable successfully to enter into the
live stock industry. After becoming
resident in town the landlord siren
uously objects to public improve
ments. 1 speak of the landlord of
the present generations.
TO KEEP BOYS ON FARM.
81 believe that live stock with
grain farming has tendency to assist
in keeping our boys and girls on the
farm. The gentleman farmer is more
apt to lean toward grain farming, for
as I have often said, it gives the grain
farmer an opportunity to loaf three
or four months of the year, but if he
is interested in both grain and stock
farming be is kept busy all the time.
"Give the boys part; make him
feel a responsibility and teach him
how to trade. A man who is not a
fairly good trader will never be a
successful live stock farmer.
Improved methods for the care Of
live stock are being rapidly taken
advantage of by all up-to-date farm
ers. Evidence of this is shown in
the steadily increased use of the silo
for feeding. The silo should be
popular with Illinois farmers, for it
takes the stalks, formerly allowed to
deteriorate and largely waste in the
weather, and preserves their feeding
value. The farmer who feeds silage
never will suffer a loss from corn
stalk disease.
