THIRTY" FOR WICK WOOD.

At an early hour today, thirty was
CALLED for Wick w. Wood. There is
q pail of gloom over The Forum office,
and in many a home and business Of
ice Of the city also, for Wick was
pne OF the best known and most
popular members of The Forum staff.
( His loss will be more keenly felt in
the editorial room than elsewhere,
however. 1t is hard to realize that
Wick will never again drift into the
room, and begin pounding out" his
daily grist.
J. Wick made a host of friends be-
cause of his openhearted generosity
and his genial ways. He was the
friend of every man who knew him
and in many fraternal orders, especial
ly among the Elks and the travelling
men he will be especially missed and
mourned. He was granted the un-
airy member of the local organization
Of the United Commercial Travellers,
the only man who was ever given that
honor.
Most newspaper men are loyal to
their paper, but Wick had this quality
40 an unusual degree. He loved The
Forum and no paper was ever served
Snore Loyalty Inc faithfully than was
9his paper by Wick Wood. The Forum
Beeply deplores his loss and the entire
.btaff join with the community in ex-
bending heartfelt sympathy to the
Aereaved wife and daughter.

ing to get away from them.

following very sensible way that New
Zealand has found to solve this prob
lem!
While the big banking interests of

to devise a rural credit system that
viii help the formers" and give the
banker an almighty cinch at the same
time, the government of New Zealand
Is really giving the farmer financial
aid without any string or Interior mo-
tive about it. The New Zealand gov
eminent lends money to farmers and
laborers for development purposes at
the rate Of 5 per cent, with a rebate
OF one-half per cent if paid fourteen
days before due. The government
pays 4 per cent, has had no losses, but
has had an annual net revenue from
tnat source. Last year amounting to
$266. 900.
The total amount advanced, or loan
ed up to the present time exceeds $780,
100000. The minimum loan is 1925:
the maximum for laborers or workers,
as they term it, is $2,250, and for farm
ers, $4,000. There are no commits
sions and loans are strictly on the in
stallment plan, with payment of $25,
or n multiple thereof at any half
yearly due date, or all at any time.
This seems to be a practical, sue
cessful plan Of aiding the farmer.
Why hasn't it beer investigated by a
commission of benevolent ~fnanciers
such as was lately sent to Europe.

RURAL GRE DTS,

Those democrats who fancy that
their party is against assets cur
rencyF because. the Baltimore platform
sa{d nothing about it but merely OBJ
posed the ~so-called Aldrich bill for
the establishment of q central bank"
which nobody is favoring, and who at
the same time are anxious about pro-
widing special banking facilities for
farmers, would do we'll to look back
and see what their platform said about
that.
After stating. the party position
briefly and not very definitely on the
banking and currency question, it de-
clared, as a separate matter, that "of
equal Importance with the question of
currency reform is the question of
rural credits or agricultural finance
therefore," it said, I'VE recommend
that an investigation of agricultural
credit societies in foreign countries be
made, so that it may be ascertained
whether a system Of rural credits NAV
be devised suitable to conditions in the
United States; and We also favor per-
hitting national banks to loan a rea-
sonab1e proportion Of their funds on
real estate security"
Such an investigation as was recon-
mended in the Baltimore platform has
been going on for several months, but
the commission which has been con-
Quoting it will not be ready to report
tor some little time yet. The pending
currency bill is framed in exact ac-
rordance with this recommendation
says The Journal. of Commerce.
It leaves rural credits or agricul.
tural finance for separate treatment
after investigation, and authorizes ma
lional banks in reserve cities to make
loans in a properly guarded way, tse-
cured by improved and unencumberee
Farm land, which is quite as far as il
would be %Judicious to 80 until a "sys-
tens oS rural credits can be devised
suitable to conditions In the United
States, after adequate information
has been obtained as to the working
81 agricultural credit societies il
foreign countries. 1t will be seen thai
Pyesident Wilson, Chairman Glass ans
leader Underwood are complying
aeractly with the platform instruction.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Increasing Yield Per Acre,

Minneapolis Journal: The small
average yield per acre of cereals in
the United States as compared with
the acre yield in other and older coun-
tries less f~aVorably situated, has long
attracted the attention Of economists
and agricultural publicists. The rea-
sons for 1t are easier to find than the
remedies. Indeed, many American
farmers are distinctly opposed to rem
edieS.
The theory obtains in many agricul-
tural communities that the result of
improving methods of raising wheat,
for example, would be such an increase
in the total production as to bring
down to a much lower level the price
for the product. Thus the farmer, aft
er the expenditure of much additional
labor and money, would get no more
in the aggregate for his wheat Weld
than. he gets now with primitive land
Swimming methods.
The reasoning is, of course, falla-
cious. No widespread reform In Gull
tivating methods could be so quickly
effected as to influence greatly the
yield In any one year. And prices are
made by the world yield, so that the
American farmer who, by better
methods of cultivation, increases his
average yield, will reap a rich re-
ward.
The gospel Of better farming is be-
ing preached now to larger audiences
than ever and its e%vangels are doing a
great work. But much. more remains
TO be done, 1t is a work tha means
a better living to the farmer and a
better supply to the
Among the remedies for underyield
OF cereals n often overlooked is
drainage. Every farm should be stud
LED from the drainage standpoint and
every field in 1t should be properly
drained. Not only does this mean a
better growth of the crop, but a saw
ing of the Invaluable top soil of the
high rolling fields which otherwise
heaVy rains speedily carry away. .
The problem Of fertilization is, Of
course permanent. Its sound philoso-
phy is that n must put back into the
SOIL the equivalent of wheat one takes
out. There is no better Or more profit
able way of doing this than by the
keeping of cattle. Commercial fertiliZ-
ers may be needed in special cases. but
the 1mmemorial tradition of agricul-
ture which makes cattle an important
link in the chain of production Is as
sound today as ever it is. Indeed, the
present scarcity Of beef cattle in this
country, and the prospects of further
diminishing Of supplies because of the
drouth in the southwest, furnish spe-
clal and additional reason why every
farmer should establish and maintain
a herd of cattle.

SONGS AND THEIR MAKERS.

Most of the songs that have made
history were written by men who had
no other claim to immortality, says a
recent issue of The London Chronicle.
The 'Marseillaise'' is the only produc-
ton of Rouget de rIsle which has-sur-
vived, and THE Wearing Of the
Green was the work Of an anony4
nous purveyor Of ballads for the
street hawkers of Dublin. When the
British bombarded Baltimore in 1914
a young lawyer of the town, Francis
Scott Key, was inspired to write The
Star Spangled Banner, which in a few
months was known throughout the
United States. Key wrote many other
poems, now forgotten
Max Schneckenburger, an obscure
SWabian merchant, who never pub
lished anything else, composed in
1910 some verses of which the bur-
d9@. was thus translated;
WDear Fatherland, no danger thine,
Firm stand thy sons to watch the
Rhine
Little was heard of these until thir-
ty years later. when the Franco-Ger-
mar war gave them an enormous
vogue. They were then adopted as
the national anthem of United Ger
many, and a yearly pension Of 5000
marks was conferred on the composer
of the tune to which they were set.
