Cold Storage Put Under City Control

After a heated and somewhat bitter
discussion the Chicago city council
passed an ordinance giving the city
authorities full power to regulate and
control cold storage warehouses.
If the mayor signs the ordinance,
and it is expected that he will, the
measure will provide for the follow
ing:
No food products, except nuts,
fruit, cheese and vegetables, shall be
kept in cold storage for period ex-
ceeding ten months.
Butter products can be kept in
cold storage not exceeding one year.
Fish shall not be kept in cold
storage longer than six months. 1t
is provided in the ordinance that all
foods shall be stamped with the date
they are placed in storage and wnen
t. ey are taken out to be offered for
sale. 1t is also provided that no food
can be returned to storage when once
they rave been taken out and oferd
for sale.
Adequate power is given the health
department to supervise the work OF

and the need for their energies and
efforts in this great field? Is it say
ing too much that not only our
parents, but also our entire school
curriculum, has trained our boys away
from the farm, placing emphasis upon
the so-called cultural professions
rather than give at least some en-
couragement along agricultural lines?
Many of our institutions of higher
learning are too much 18th Century,
a special, so-called cultural training
for the few, and the secondary schools
have prepared with this end in view.
Is it not true that less than 10 per
cent of our entire population follow
professional line, and yet little or
nothing is done to even open the eyes
of this large 80 per cent to possibil-
tiles in their field of endeavor? In
Justice to our future strong men and
women, needed to solve our complex
problems, let US add to our high
agriculture so that embued with
splendid ideas and love for the true
and the real they shall be encouraged
to prepare themselves further along
lines that means solving our most
vital problems.
Then from a purely money making
standpoint farming of the past has
not been a success. While it en-
variably meant good living, yet, as
rule, perhaps no great profits were
ever realized. Today it is different.
Wages are as high upon the farm as
in the factories and with business
principles applied to the farm it must
be profitable, and because of endless
application of intellect it will mean
endless plea sure.
This understood, the young man
will turn towards the Agricultural
College, not in a hesit4 ting, half
hearted manner, coWed by pernicious
notions that he is STOPPING to some
thing low and unworthy, scoffed by
those who pursue other Professions,
but strong in his conviction that one
of the most noble of all endeavors is
about to be realized.
Also the entire attitude of society
is changing, though gradual it be.
S., ientific agl iculture sneeIed at and
unfairly criticised only a few years
ago, is now beginning to assume its
proper and rightful place. Inc1 eased
appropriations should and will be
made to carry forward TIE work SO
necessary and so we'll begun.
A most encouraging sign as far as
this great work is concerned, is the
addition of courses in agriculture in
our high schools. The field is strange
and untried, many mistakes will be
made, some districts may become dis
couraged temporarily, but the pos
sibilities for good are so great and SO
many, that, regardless of temporary
setbacks, agriculture in our schools
will advance, as nothing else.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
An editorial in your instructive and
helpful paper of recent date, peculiar
ly arrested my attention. In it the
high school graduate is urged to at
tend good agricultural college rather
than follow the time honored custom
of choosing one of the few chosen
professions. AS stated, most of these
few professions are overcrowded with
men who have no special adaptation
for the work, and in order to make
living resort to practices that lower
the standard of their profession,
harming themselves, as we'll as the
community in which they live. On
the other hand, the farm and its ALI
ed interests, offers untold opportun-
tiles. Opportunities, not only for
making an honorable living, but in
furthering the interests of humanity
as whole. We are learning today
that ultimately and always our source
of food and being lies in the soil and
that in connection with the growing
of the plant we are benefitting all
humanity.
But why, Mr.. Editor, should this
be so? Why are our young men and
women willing to spend years of pre-
paration in line of work that might
little benefit them and possibly might
be of untold harm to every one con-
cerned? What, on the other hand,
has brought about an awakening, an
increased enrolment in our agri-
cul tural colleges and realization of
the opportunities there found?
May we not for an answer to our
first question refer to an impression
fonnd all too prevalent that the till
ing of the soil has connected with it
small honor, little dignity and no in
tellect? In my experience as teacher
of high school agriculture [ found
that not few fond parents would
encourage the son to prepare for law
and medicine, often regardless of the
boys capacity for such work, while,
perhaps the attention and interest of
the young man was conferred upon a
study of the types of farm animals or
kinds of soil. Nor can we in every
case place the blame upon the parent.
Unless the trend of times and the i'm
portance of scientific agriculture is
understood there can be little differ
ence between the digging of the Sc" er
in the city streets and the preparation
of the soil for a crop Of oats. 1t is
perhaps not always understood that
while in the past farm work may have
approached drudgery, the pr sent and
the future promise to make it bust
ness in the strictest sen of he word.
Many parents have not yet realized
that there is room for the brain as
we'll as for the muscle.
Are the young men to blame? I'm
less some Insight is given them while
in high school, in these lines, how
