Corn Club Boys Spend Part Of Da.
at Mount Vernon.

The boy corn growers had a jolly time
at Mount Vernon yesterday. They
spent the entire day there under care of
Prof o. B. Martin, a corn demonstrator
of the Department of Agriculture. The
boys were shown every part of the his
toric estate and placed a wreath on
Washingtcn's tomb. They returned TO
Washington last night and after a good
supper went to the theater.
The boys have seen about everything
there is to be seen in the Capital, but
will remain until Sunday afternoon,
when they will return TO their homes.

next is combination of traction lines
under different ownership for the sys-
tematlc and prompt handling of farm
stuff. The third is terminals, and the
difficulties are clearly illustrated by
conditions in Philadelphia, where diff
ference in track gauge not only makes
it impossible for suburban cars to run
into the city, but where the city lines
demand fifty per cent of the total
carrying charge on shipments, though
they haul them only five or six miles
as against thirty to forty miles haul
by the roads that pick up produce at
the farms.
indianapolis has the largest trolley
freight traffic in farm products of any
city in the United States, as we'll as
the best terminal facilities. 1t is pos
sible to send a long'distance telephone
message from that city at five o'clock
in the morning and have fresh fruit
and vegetables shipped in from the
country fifty miles around in time for
breakfast. Eleven trolley systems
bring produce right into town, and
seventy-five per cent of the market
supplies come over these systems
fifteen thousand tons a month.
Similar service, running directly in
to city terminals where the produce
can be unloaded and sold, has reached
good degree of development in Col
umbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chi
cago, ST. Louis, Toledo, Dayton and
other centers throughout Indiana and
Illinois. In almost all Of these open
markets are operated, and the trolley
cars land produce without transfer or
damage, picking up not only the small
individual shipments, but carloads of
heavy produce.
1t has been estimated that the
farmer hauls 300,0OO,OOO tons of pro-
duce yearly by wagon at a cost of
twenty-five cents ton per mile. His
average haul is twelve miles. The
total cost is S900,000,00O.
Trolley freight service can pick up
much of this produce because it pene-
trates where railroads do not run. 1t
can land stuff in market quickly, and
at cost of four to five cents a ton
per mile.
Many improvements in market con-
ditions have been proposed, some of
them sound and others rather theor-
etical. In trolley freight possibili-
ties, however, there seems to be some
thing practical, basic and far-reach-
ing.-The Country Gentlemen.

JAG FARM" ON TRIAL

The state Gag farm" at Willmar,
more properly known as the State In
ebriate Hospital, will be abandoned if
it does not show results within the
next two years.
This is the decision arrived at by the
State Board of Control, but the mem
bers are confident that such a course
will not be necessary.
Given Two Years Trial
The last Legislature wanted to
abolish the institution, but the board
pleaded for another trial, agreeing
that at the end of two years the men,
bers would consent to its abandon
ment if results did not warrant its
maintenance.
The institution is caring for twenty
men and five women. It's facilities are
limited and only thirty-fve can be ac-
commodated.
The hospital is maintained by two
per cent tax on liquor licenses, the
largest part of this revenue coming
from the cities. The tax brings in
about $4,000 annually.
Says Poular Idea Is Wrong
1.-THE popular idea of such an insti-
tuition is the wrong one," said c. ].
Swendsen of the Board of Control
Monday. I'VE are not taking care of
a lot of buns Most of the patients
are professional men who have lost
everything through drink. Of course
it is necessary to maintain the great
est secrecy as to the names of the
patients.
There has been some criticism as
to the alleged palatial quarters fur
nished the inmates.
ut is true that the hospital is built
according to the best modern practice,
but IN an institution of this kind, to
get results, the patients must be made
to feel at home. 1t also is necessary
to give them good food to counterfeit
the craving for liquor. This is being
done"

"That is the cost for young mar
ried couple-love in a cottage, so to
speak. When babies come it is hard
er to figure, and nothing has been al
lowed for savings, life insurance,
amusements, vacations, education or
doctors bills.
''1n the country on the other hand,
even if cash is none too plentiful,
family always has wholesome food
and roof over it's head. A man is
his own boss. He has opportunities
to increase his income, where wages
in town are inf1exible. He is not SUBJ
ject to the hardships of dull times.
Country boys see this when it is
put before them in figures, and what
IS just as important, country girls see
| it too. For it is as vital to keep the
girls on the farm as the boys. They
have good business heads when it
comes to selecting life partners who
can give them comfortable homes.
Very often when the matter is put in
this way the young people are en-
couraged to tackle farming in a new
spirit. They persuade the old folks
to let them have part of the farm to
work according to their own ideas,
they read good farm literature, study
markets and demand, and take agri-
cultural courses"
The trolley traffic man is a close
student of markets. One of the big
interurban systems entering st. Louis
employs dairy expert, familiar with
both production on the farm and SELL
| ing In town. He has brought the
farmers together, given them sugges-
tons for raising and handling special
products, such as poultry in connec-
ton with milk, and undertakes to sell
all they produce and look after their
interests IN town. In three years he
has increased shipments of milk over
his line until the company is now
handling $500 gallons daily, and main
tains four cooling stations. Within
four hours after milking time the
product is delivered in st. Louis. and
the experts knowledge of milk en-
ables him to obtain good prices for all
that is shipped, even that which has
turned sour being disposed of to
cheese factories for a price that
brings profit.
In another case a traffic man ner-
suaded tobacco farmer to put one
acre into asparagus and meet the con-
slant shortage of that delicacy in the
nearest city market. For three years
the beds failed to yield a crop. but
finally, in the fourth season, with a
good yield and fair prices, this acre
brought as large gross return as
though four good crops of tobacco had
been harvested. It has been yielding
more than double what could be Sc
cured from tobacco ever since.
Trolley freight development hinges
on three points The first is legal
sanction by the different states. Traf-
fic regulations in the East have dis
eliminated against trolley freight and
express in many cases. These limi-
tations are now being removed The

these may be marketed on the same

flexible than the railroad for indivi-

The brown and stately autumn fad
The hills grew clearer in outline, and
over the sycamore, elm and linwood,
patches of the distant river showed.
One saw lonely roads rising from the
black bottoms to the gashed bluffs
where summer had robed this naked

the farm wagons miring under loads

BERI-BERI FROM RICE
Berlin Physician Succeeds in Giving
Himself the Disease.

DIR. Max MosZkOwski of Berlin, who
has won distinction by his scientific
researches In New Guinea, succeeded
in giving himself an unmistakable case
of beri -beri by living for 1873 days upon
a diet consisting almost exclusively OF
boiled rice, says Berlin dispatch. He
believes his experiments support the
theory formerly held by him, that beri-
beri is a disease induced by certain
foods and not due to an infection. of any
kind from without. as has been main
tained by many Investigators.
Doctor Moszkowski, who In 1911 ad-
vanced the theory in an address before
the Berlin Medical society, reported at
the society's last meeting the results of
the experiment which he has just fin
ished. After a few weeks Of hulled
rice diet the nervous disturbances ac-
companying beri-beri appeared and
the case was then diagnosed as beri-
beri by Doctor Shuffner, the noted au-
thority in this line. The typical dropsi-
cal affection Of the skin followed, with
soreness of certain groups of muscles
stomachic disturbances, and eventual
ly the typical and dangerous lrregu-
larities of the heart action.
Doctor Moszkowski then treated
himself with injections Of an extract
prepared from rice hulls. He recovered
rapidly and is now quite we'll Injec-
tions of this extract also cured pigeons
and hens which had become affected
with beri-beri after a hulled rice diet.

Why Segregation
"a few of my many reasons for IA
voring segregation-and not merely
for favoring it passively but for pro-
foundly believing in it as the only way
now in sight out Of a perilous situa-
tion-may be given as follows:
Because it is necessary to give our
white farmers and their families a
satisfying social life.
Because 1t will insure them great
er safety and protection.
Because 1t would give them better
schools and churches.
Because it will open the way for
cooperation and cooperative enter
prises-work in which it is almost i'm
possible for whites and blacks to work
together successfully.
Because it will improve moral
conditions in the relations Of the
races.
Because 1t will give the rural
south what it most sorely needs-a

GD by stopping the crowding out ol

Rural Cooperation.

Rural Co-operation.
1.-THE other planks in my platform
of rural development-deal chieny
with matters Of rural cooperation
are perhaps too technical for gen
eral audience, and 1t is better to elab-
crate them in speaking to audiences
composed chiefly of farmers. l do
wish to emphasize this fact, however,
that while great results are to be
achieved by better methods of mark
citing and rural cooperation, the
south Is still a hundred years De
hind the times in agricultural meth
ods and we must continue TO EN-
phasize better farming along with
better business
statistics showed that in 1900 with
exactly the same economic system and
marketing methods in vogue In both
north and south, the north Atlantic
states farmer was making $500 more
a wear than our south Atlantic state
farmer: and that the average farm
worker in the Carolinas and Virginia
averaging a horse and third apiece
and cultivating % acres each, was
earning 1884 a year whereas in Iowa,
Indiana, and Illinois, the farm work
ers averaged three horses apiece, cul-
tivating Sc acres, and earned 1858 q
year. AS the late DR.. Knapp once
said:
"'Where the South Carolina farm
er uses one mule and one man to
plow, accomplishing less than an acre
per day from three to four inches
deep, the Iowa farmer uses at least
three horses and plows four acres per
day, six to eight inches deep.
"And yet better farming methods
alone, vastly as they will help, are not
enough. The opening words OF the
preamble Of the Farmers Union puts
the whole matter right, as follows:

trial development, we find 1t neces-
sary that the farmer not only apply
