MAKING YOUR DREAMS COUNT
Drone Who Mods In Sun and Lets
World Rush by Him Has No Place
In the Scheme of Things.

To Members and Officials of the
Farmers Union:
Dreamers are all right if they ma
terialize their dreams into something
tangible.
Every great progress marked in the
worlds history was born in the dreams
of some great thinker, who wrought
his dream into concrete form. Dreams
are but the visions of great souls
building ships and railroads and sky
scrapers and threshing machines aud
all the things going into the advance
ment of humanity.
The farmer boy following his sweat
ing horse in the furrow Of mellow up
turned earth dreams and dreams until
life's horizon lifts and broadens for
him. No available statistics are at
hand. but very many of the men who
mark the outposts of the worlds on
ward progress dreamed in the furrow
Something about the contact with
Mother Earth, the intimate association
with her moods and her brooding heart
begets stamina, character, stability and
deep-rooted purposefulness.g
So when some foppish young city
chap with tailored suit, polished shoes
and manicured nails sneers at the
country pumpkin" don't let it disturb
you, for your dreams made possible
his bed of ease and wrought the city,
the soft-cushioned automobiles and
the comforts he enjoys. Moreover, you
are worth dozen of him in doing life's
work, for your bent back, your winkled
and unkempt clothes, your horny hands
and tanned skin result from doing the
hard, the humble, but the absolutely
necessary work to keep this old world
turning In it's orbit.
But the dreamer drone who mods
In the sun and let's the world rush by
him has no place in the scheme OF
things. We have had hundreds of that
sort In the Farmers union, who sits
down and dreams that everything will
come to him without effort on his part.
Then he wakes up and quits because,
as some one has expressed 1T, they
ain't doing Anything"
Dream, but turn your dream into
something. c. S. BARRETT.

EVIL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
Maryland Experiment Emphasize Nee
essity of Putting Manure on Land
Without Delay.

The Maryland station allowed eighty
tons of manure to be exposed to the
weather for one year and found that
the amount was reduced to twenty
seven tons at the end of the period.
Professor Shut of Canada allowed two
tons of manure, containing 1888
pounds of organic matter to lie ex-
posed during the four warmest
months from April 20 to August 20
and found the amount reduced to 655
pounds of organic matter and that
from 4S.1 pounds to 27.7 pounds, or
almost one-half was lost.
The experiments emphasize the ne
cessity of putting the manure on the
land as soon as possible. 1t is some

thus destroying much of its value. 1t
must not be forgotten that much of
the value of manure and all forms of
organic matter come from its rotting
while in contact with the soil, and if
allowed to decay before it is gotten
into the soil much of the benefit will
be lost.

vegetable matter, should be turned

SEX HY YGIEME
NEW FIELD Of
SCHOOL LABOR
Educators Of Nation Declare it Is
Necessary to Reduce the
Social Evil.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-To what
extent can sex instruction be given
in the public schools? Wide differ
ence of opinion still exists among
schUolmen on the subject, judging
from reports received at the United
States Bureau OF Education. There
is widespread recognition OF what
President Foster OF Reed College,
calls The Social Emergency" and
general agreement as to the need of
action against the social evil. but
when It comes to the question of what
part the public school shall play, the
ideas range from a detailed plan OF
sex instruction beginning in the eie-
mentary schools to a determined op-
position to any form OF sex education
whatsoever
Prof. Thomas NJ Ballet, OF New
York University, outlines several
points of attack in sex education. He
believes sex instruction can now be
given to the following groups: Q)
To parents, by means of lectures;
(2) TO enlisted men in the army and
navy, where the need for II is urgent;
(3) to college students, both men and
women; 90 to young people in Y. NJ.
G. AS and similar associations. DR..
Ballet considers sex instruction TO
able; because it will enable them to
impart sex knowledge in turn to
pupils in elementary and secondary
schools, as soon as the public Is pre-
pared for this step.
Recently medic almen have Joined
hands with schoolmen in the sex
hygiene movement. DIR. Hugh Cabot
distinguished physician OF Boston
is one of the leaders in the demand
for sex instruction in the schools. He
declares that the policy of silence
and punishment as practiced in the
past has failed. He suggests educa-
tion. rather than punishment, as 8
remedy for social evils. He says:
Sooner or later we shall come tc
realize that teaching the compre-
hension of the sex instinct is the
function of the public school, though
we are far from such a realization
to-day." Other members of th'
American Federation OF Sex Hygiene
including former President Eliot, o.
Harvard, who is the head of the or
ganization, mold equally positive
views of the need for sex instruction

/ The marriage is one which a dow
