FORWARD TO THE LAND.

For a number of years the slogan
"Back to the Land" has been ut
tered by immigration societies, the
press and particularly by real estate
dealers and fake colony schemers,
says the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat,
but with little effect in increasing the
number Of farmers and the products
of the farm. Millions of dollars have
been taken from the pockets of men
charmed with the idea Of getting a
small farm in some elysian paradise,
where a few acres would make them
q good living, but Of all those buyers
very few have actually been able to
become farmers at all, and not all OF
those successfully. Farming is a bust
ness like any other, and must be
learned. 1t does not come by ma
ture. Most Of those to whom the
s''back-tothe.land" idea might be sup
posed to apply, being those who have

BEDBUG POISON IN
BISCUITS IS Fatal

St. Louis, Aug. 29.-Poison which
Mrs. Margaret McWilliams bought
last week to kill bedbugs, was re-
sponsible for the death Of Mrs. Myrtle
Neff and the serious illness of Harry
'Neff, her husband, Mr.. McWilliams
and Leo Temple.
The poisoning of the four resulted
from eating dumplings at a chicken
dinner at the home of Mrs. Neff Sun
day evening. At first it was thought
the four were victims of ptomaine
poisoning. Inquiry developed that
while Mrs. McWilliams was assisting
Mrs. Neff in the preparation of the
dinner, she used all of her baking
powder and asked Mr.. Neff for more.
Mrs. Neff gave her a blue paper con-
tanning a powder, saying 1t was bak-
ing powder.
Police are convinced that it was
by mistake that the poison was placed
in the food. !

In Boston a convention has just been
held of a Forward to the Land

expressing the actual conditions.
There Is a wide field of labor for such
a league if it can show to the land
hungry thousands of the cities how
II is practicable for them to go for
ward to the land. Plenty of them
want to go, but they know that they
have neither the necessary capital nor
lie indispensable knowledge to make
A success of farming. The man who
has By years Of work become a good
mechanic or b%ookkeeper realizes that
it takes similar practical experience
to make a farmer. Furtheromre, he
knows that it takes money to get a
start. Unfortunately, it takes more
money than most Of them realize, and
many of the failures made by those
who have attempted it are chargable
to this fact as much as to lack of
knowledge of farming.
If this new league can devise q
practicable scheme of sending men
forward to the land in such a way
that they will have enough capital to
equiv their farms and enough knowl-
edge of farming to work them prop
erly, there will be no trouble in find
ing plenty Of men who would like to
go forward to the land. One of the
chief reasons why so many young
men leave the farm is that they lack
capital to 60 to farming on their own
account, though they have the need
ed knowledge of farming. Perhaps
more success might be had in setting
up such young men in farming than
in trying to take from the cities men
who have neither the capital nor the
knowledge. One of the chief results
of our "back-to-the-land" agitation
has been the selling by spectators of
a lot of land to eager city buyers for
far more than it was worth and which
they have found themselves unable
to use. The Forward to the Land
League must do better than this if it
expects to accomplish practical good.
