creasing demand for teachers of agri-
culture, domestic science, and indus
tries and trades in the high schools in
all parts of the country. The demand
is greater for teachers of one subject
in one part of the country, and for
another subject in other parts. But
apparently the supply is not equal to
the demand in any section. For this
reason many schools undertake to
have work in these subjects done by
teachers who are not prepared, and
the results are far from satisfactory.
Teachers for these subjects of agricdl-
prepared in the colleges of agricul-
ture and mechanic arts. Most of the
normal schools cannot do this work
so well. They may give the methods
but, as a rule, they cannot give the
substance, which, after all, is much
more important than methods
1t might be added that South Dakota
has probably furnished more agricul-
tural experts for teaching and federal
and state scientific work than any
other state in the Union-in proper

senate finance committee in levying a
tax OF five cents on every bunch OF
bananas imported into the country. To
the senatorial mind the banana SEEM
ed a harmless and unresisting subject
of possible taxation. Learning that
over 10000, 900 punches OF the yellow
skinned fruit are brought into the
country every year they figured by a
simple process of multiplication that
a duty OF five cents a bunch would
add $4,000, 900 a year to the federal
revenues and thus make up to some
slight extent for the loss resulting
from the transfer of many articles to
the free list. Since the plan was made
public the democratic leaders have
been hearing from the country and
have learned a lot about bananas that
they never knew before. Through the
Banana Buyers Association in New
York and through members of their
party in many parts Of the country,
they have been told that the banana is
not a luxury but a food product, that
il is the only fruit cheap enough to
find a place in the working mans din
ner pail and that to increase it's price
by taxation would contravene the chief
object in the revision of the tariff, the
lowering of the cost of living. More
over it appears that by failing to make
a distinction between different sized
lunches of the fruit the committee
unwitttingly played into the hands OF
the banana trust which controls the
supply of the larger punches and would
bar out the independent importers
who handle the smaller ones. AS a
final demonstration of the bananas i'm
p~ortance in modern commerce a di-
plomatic protest has been made to the
department of state by the British
Government acting on behalf of its
colony of Jamaica. In polite language
Uncle Sam has been told that John
Bull would regard his proposed banana
tax as an u~nfriendly act because it
would force out of the American mar
ket jamaican bananas which come in
smaller punches than those grown in
the Central American countries. AS a
result of the protests that have come
from all directions it is likely that the
banana duty will be dropped out of the
bill as the easiest solution of the
trouble. Hereafter it is safe to say
the members of the finance committee
will treat the banana with great re-
spect whenever they encounter 1t.

RETIRED FARM

The retired farmer is quite often a
subject of criticism by many town peo-
pie. He is held UP as tightwad and a
stumbling block to progress. He is
nut I'D as a man of much means who
refuses to divide up at the public
trough. Such criticism is nothing new.
1t runs back to the time when Iowa
began to have retired farmers.
1t has often occurred to the writer
that there was much to be said in
favor of the retired farmer.
The retired farmer of the present
day is usually a man who worked hard
and necessarily for many years. He
began the weary grind before many of
his critics were born. He sold corn in
the earlier years for Is cents per
bushel, pats for 10 cents, eggs for s
cents, butter for 10 cents, and hogs
for 8 cents. Getting on in the world
wasn't very rapid in those days. Such
prices didn't eat up very many mort
cages per minute.
The retired farmers wife toiled
early and late, washed, scrubbed,
churned, hoed in the garden, raised
the chickens, rode to town in a wagon,
made shirts and pants for the children
out of dads old ones, cts.
The house was warmed by the kit
chen cook stove The snow sifted
into the attic. The bedrooms were
cold as barns. The ordinary diet was
made up of salt pork, potatoes and
bread. Calico dresses, patched over
alls and s%unbonnets took the place Of
silks, satins and various sorts of bright
and blooming regalia.
Such is the setting if the scenery in
the background Of the average retired
farmer. BY ~frugality, self denial and
unremittent toll he has been able to
buy, pay for and W a quarter section
of land and store up a few hundred
dollars and nov to town.
But town life is not what it seems;
gas bills, and water bills, and sewer
bills, and paving bills, and mammoth
tax bills, and bills, bills, bills, until the
income from the stored-up ~quarter-sec-
ton looks like 80 cents, long before he
and his good wife get anything to eat
or wear.
This isn't all. His critics gracefully
bow him into their places Of business,
kowtowingly bow him out again, and
give his tribe a dig for not spending
more. People who have never done
much themselves complain because he
does not divide up with them.
What is the crime Of the retired
farmer? Isn't it this: He has toiled
necessarily, saved by self-denial, is
striving to gel a few years rest in his
later days on the income from what he
has accumulated, and is unable to keep
step with the great plumed procession
of modern progress, whose motto Is to
spend two dollars and earn one?
When the average critic builds a
character that is worth as near a hun
dred cents on the dollar as the aver.
age retired farmer, he will often find
plenty of room for improvement

CLUBS MAY BOOST SILos

That the Commercial Clubs of South
Dakota could do nothing better to
help their farming communities than
to invest in silage cutter outfits, is a
progressive idea of Prof. G. Larsen of
the State College. He suggests that
one drawback to farm ownership Of
silos, is the expense of owning a silage
cutter and engine which is used for a
comparatively short time, even though
any modern farmer can we'll afford
such equipment. The Commercial
Club of any live town could invest a
few hundred dollars in a silage outfit
to be rented to the farmers at a NOM
inal price, say ten cents per ton, which
would pay for the machine in two or
three seasons.
In a recent interview with the Regis
ter, Prof. Larsen said: "The State of
South Dakota has owe two million
acres Of corn, and more than twice as
much income would be obtained from
the crop If every farmer owned a silo.
South Dakota could feed about one and
a half million more cows than 10Y
with silos on every farm, and that
without raising any more feed than We
do at present.
"a silo on every farm means a sure
crop every year and feed for cows any
time during the year. Silos will keep
silage any length of time, which means
that in good years feed a be stored
for use during unfavorable crop sea-
sons. Getting silos on every farm is
one of the great economic problems
of South Dakota and the Central West.
1.-THE great objection to a silo on
every farm is the initial cost of the
silo and of the machinery necessary to
fill it. Few object to the cost Of the
silo alone. The cutting and filling
machinery is used but one or two days
while filing the silo. The individual
farmer feels that he cannot afford to
invest five or six hundred dollars for
this purpose. True it is four or five
neighbors may club together and pur-
chase the machinery in cooperation,
but the average farmer is not prone
to take the lead in working up such a
cooperative plan.
"Here Is where the Commercial
Clubs Of the state can do some good.
II is to the interest of the business
men to help the prosperity Of the farm
ing community. Silos and silage mean
plenty Of feed for stock, which in turn
means more money and certain in
come to the farmer.
"If every Commercial Club of South
dakota would purchase n silage cut
ting outfit they would remove one of
the great obstacles to the wider intro
lduction Of silos. Such an expenditure
does not mean giving away the invest
ment. The farmers should pay their
share for the 8 OF the machinery,
say ten cents per ton. This would cost
him ten dollars to all a one hundred
ton silo, q one days task. About
Thirty such silos could be filed In one
season, bringing in three hundred dol.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Bookings Register Bureau. Washington. DC.
(By j. E. Jones)
Following the protests from republi-
can sources of the methods by which
the democrats have framed a currency
bill in their secret caucusses, and the
affectual squelching by the democratic
majority OF the more active opposition,
as voiced by representative Smith of
Minnesota, Plat Of New York, and
Lindberg, progressive, also of Min
nesota, a statement has been issued
by Representative Carter Glass, which
contains a phrase of interest in these
exciting times when the people are
hearing much of the manner in which
things are done in our congress. Glass
states that 1--WE legislate by parties in
this country" and lest he should be
misunderstood, he adds: ut is right
now up to the democratic party to
enact legislation or admit it's in
competency"

result was magical. The capital has

but this is the first time that the presi-
dent has actually been the one to set
the style" Washington has blossomed
out in splendid white raiment, and the

suit of some kind is mot in It,"
Secretary Daniels is the product of
the printery and while history is silent
upon the point, yet it is probable that
he has full knowledge of the intricacies
OF such things as the office towel"
Mr.. Daniels has an eye for nice things,
and after looking over the rugs in the
navy department decided to get some
new garments for the office floors. Ac-
cordingly he ordered up a cargo of
samples. and made his choice. But
when he found that the pretty oriental
rugs were $1,000 apiece, he threw up
his hands and shouted: Mercy. take
them away" or words to that effect.
