clean culture practice also bring
all weeds into thorough subjec-
ton. The yields per acre OF all
farm crops have been greatly in
creased since the extension OF
potato growing.
Potato tops are now dried and
used for stock food on many es-
tates. The by-product, mash,
resulting from the distillation of
potatoes into alcohol, is also an
important economical factor.
While we have, in fact, better
soils than Europe in almost I'M
limited area adapted for potato
es. our hot summers injure the
potato plant, where they aid IN
the development Of our great
grain crop, corn. In the corn
belt there can never be profit in
growing potatoes in excess OF
those needed locally for table
use. Corn can be produced more
economically, is better for stock
feeding, and is a cheaper source
of starch and alcohol. Farther
north, however, and in the elevat-
ed western districts where corn
| can not be raised, potato growing
has a greater future.
However, vast deposits OF pc
troleum will also offer competition
indirectly to the potato, as at
present there is not the need In
this country that there is in Ger
many for potato alcohol. Never
theless, we are using up our
great petroleum resources, and
the time may not be far distant
when the distilling of alcohol
from potatoes may become an i'm
portant industry.

Mr.. Clagett Writes About Hog Cholera

Mr. EDITOR:
Learning that a contagious disease
was prevalent among swine on the line
of the Chesapeake Beach Railroad ex-
tending from the District Line to West
phalia, wrote to the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Agricultural Department, re-
questing that an investigation be made
as to the character of this disease.
The Department directed DR.. Shore of
the Bureau of Animal Industry to make
investigation and l have been advised
by it that this disease is undoubtedly
cholera.
DR.. Marion Dorset suggests IN his
letter to me that the State of Maryland
recently appropriated money for the
manufacture and distribution of serum
similar to that discovered by him and
that this work is in charge of Profess
sor H. J. Patterson, Director of the
Agricultural Experiment Station. Col
lege Park, Maryland. He also advises
me that Farmers Bulletin 379 contains
suggestions for the prevention and
control of hog cholera. Under the cir
cumstances | take the liberty of sug-
costing that all farmers in the neigh
borhoods of this disease write Profes-
sor Patterson for information and assis-
lance in combating it and obtain
the Farmers Bulletin, published by the
Agriculture Department, for their IN
formation and guidance.
AS hog cholera is a very malignant
disease and liable to extend from farm
to farm and cause heavy financial loss
to the people of Prince Georges county,
think it we'll to call the attention OF
the people to Article So, Section 10, of
the Maryland Code. This Section pro-
vides: e! -
''All hogs and other domestic animals
| dying of any contagious or infectious
disease shall be buried at the depth of
at least three feet or be burned, at the
discretion of the owner, and any person
or persons permitting any dead hogs or
any other domestic animals having died
of any contagious or infectious disease
to remain unburied upon his or their
| premises for the space of three hours
prior to sunset of said day after he has
discovered the same shall be guilty of
| misdemeanor and upon conviction there
of before any justice of the peace shall
| be fined not less than ten dollars for
each offense or imprisoned in the coun
| ty Jail for not less than ten days, or be
both fined and imprisoned in the discre-
ton of the justice.
If this Section of the law is strictly
enforced, it will aid materially in stamp
ng out this disease, and it seems to be
the duty of all good citizens, not only
to comply with the laws strictly them
selves, but to see that it is carried out.
1t is very probable that this law is
not generally known to the citizens of
Prince Georges County.

Getting Back to the Farmer,

A great many think there - . pre-
concerted movenentos to reduee the
cost Of living, and this movement win
end in reducing the prices Of an
farm products snd live stock. II
mast be admitted that the cost Of
living in the cities 10 high, bat At the
same time, il musl also be admitted
by Ill fais-minded men that the livisg
is high, consequently its high cost.
The Farmer and Stockmap does not
believe that the price Of farm products
and i've stock can be reduced 10 any
appsecibIe extent and still leave -
fair profit to the farmer. We do be-
lieve that middlemenI are getting too
much for the par, they take in distTi-
button, simply because there are too
many mid dlemen doing wha, half
their nunber could do jus. as well
as not. ,.'..-. .-. ........ . .
ia widespread effort to reduce the
COS. Of living is successisl, and. II il is
carried back to the producer, We
shah say that the farmer is being un-
fairly dealt with /; that he Will be made
to product his products a. lower COS,
than he can afford to produce them
on high-pice land. The question
that re mains to be- settled is this,
will the farmer allow himself TO. be
settle is this way, will he continue to
submit, to the practice Of letting few
establish the. price for the manyP
In the cities there is a installer n
notion as to the profits OF farming,
city folks believe, because they have
been paying high prices, for products
Of life. In this they are mistaken.
Farmers have been ;,prdspenDs in
recent years, but they have earned
with the hardest Of toll every inch Of
prosperity they have gained. They
have earned il at the COS, OF WORKING
moye hours each day than the wosk.
ing people ot any Oshey' occupation
on earth. In almost every instance
the price OF land and of farm equip.
ment has advanced in the. same ratio
as has the price OF tina. which is
producd on the farm, making j,
Just as hard for the renter to pay his
rent as it was in the days Of cheap
land, and cheap farm products and
live stock. II the cost OF living mus,
be reduced to the workingmen OF the
cities, it should come about BY re.
duCting the cost Of distribution be.
tween the farm and the city tabls
rather than by shearing it off at the
ia,m end, tor any reduction here
would mean the talking away OF tn,
farm profits, and, we all know tina
when farmers are not prosperous the
nation at large is not prosperous. A
reduction in the cost Of living whict
gets back to the farmer IN entirety
will mean let-up in prosperous con
di.lons everywhere, for the farme,
canno, produce cheaper than he i,

there is the vast crowd who don't

meeting educated people. For these
ten years of labor and hardship, he
mad received a piece of land worth, as
stated above, possibly $1,000, and he
was obliged to mortgage this for all it
would carry TO pay up the debts that
ne had contracted while trying to
carve a home out of a wilderness.
You probably will ask, How did peo-
pie live at all under such circum-
stances" We often asked ourselves
that same question. The answer Is in
the way they lived. The potato crop
was almst sure, at least there was
enough for the table and seed the fol-
loving season. A little Yankee corr
was enough to furnish meal for the
family and probably to fatten one or
two pigs, but not very fat. A cow or
two supplied butter and milk for the
table most of the time, but we have
seen many tables where both milk and
butter were missing. Someone down
in Jackson township had a sorghum
mill and We presume there were mills
in other places. a few muskrat hides
would supply the table with sorghum.
With a little wheat bread occasionally
to keep the family in touch with high
er civilization, the family managed to
get through the year on a diet COM
posed of the above essentials.
Would you like to pay the price
they did? Does not land at 500 per
acre look cheap alngside of the price
the homesteader paid? We say again
that land in Iowa is cheaper at $3.50
per acre than it was forty-five years
ago at $3.50.
