CHANGING FARM METHODS.

Jamestown Alert: Nortn Dakota
Is beginning the work OF changing
the old system Of agriculture into one
where eve methods promise to give
much greater security and 0 pro-
hts for the occupation Of farming, the
chief industry Of the state. We are
beginning this work perhaps in Il
feeble and dilalOry manner. such az
generally charactnriZ"s any great rad
zeal reform In which a large number
Of people are to carry on the work.
The first steps arc experimental, but
already definite and positive results
pointing to ultimate snccesh are
scen. Like every other change and
attempt to get out Of ar old rlt, the
movement meets with opposition In
certain quarters. especially from
those who think they know all there
IL 10 know about farming. This OPP
position win have little weight, how
ever, rs proofs are seen Of the adj.
vantngcs Of diversified farming
which includes about half Of the
work Of the farm in stock raising.
It takes time to prove the results
of the new system OF scientific farm
work but every land owner who
considers the subject should remem-
Der that the suggestions made are
based on practical experience in 9TH
err countries than ours, and on sci
cntitic demonstrations.
The immediate results OF the sue.
cess OF the Better Farming movement
win be, found In increased profits
for farmers, and incidentally as
flowing thercfrom, a higher appre.
citation OF the calling and work OF
aiming, compared with other activ-
tiles Of life. Under a well estab-
llshcd system OF rotation of crops
ami the growing Of livestock, tho
farmer heretofore dependent UPON
the success or failure of grain crops
alone will feel an assurance of sta
bility and success that he never felt
before. while the values Of the farm
products he produces are becoming
more firmly fixed and permanent in
the markets Of the world.
Bdsides !hese conditions, this
better farming work will naturally
lead to other conditions not now
foreseen by many. These will be
social, political and economic.
Farming raised to- higher grade as
an occupation will insure peace and
equity in q country, and not merely
In the United States. but will have
It's Influenza abroad. Other classes
have taken up the work. of improve
ment and cooperation for the bet
terment OF their output. Farmers
are about the last to undertake It,
but with them the results will be
much greater and more quickly Sc
cured.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS ANC
THE RURAL SCHOOL,.

The Importance of the boys and
girls club movement as affecting the
rural school is discussed in a recent
report by A.. G. Monahan. OF the Unit.
ed States Bureau Of Education. Mr..
Monahan points out that the clubs are
at present more closely identified
with the schools than ever before,
and that their work is becoming a
more definite part OF the school pro
gram. The tremendous inflence OF
these clubs in aid Of better farming,
better living conditions, and better
schools, is therefore exerted as part
Of the movement to make the rural
school the real center Of rural civil
ization.
After showing how the clubs are
organized through the school author
tiles, MIR. Monahan speaks particular.
ly Of the girls garden and canning
clubs, which in an incredibly snort
time have assumed an importance
second only to the better known boys
corn clubs. Furthermore, while the
governments activities in behalf of
the clubs have until recently been
confined mainly to the south, they
are now extended to the northern and
western states. Boys and girls agri-
cultural clubs are now organized un.
der national auspices In most of the
states. Ia
These newer clubs are. organized in
much the same way as in the south,
except that they will be in closer con.
nection with the state colleges Of az.
riculture. The work has been plan.
ned directly for the farm and home,
rather than for the school, but in
most instances 1t Is carried on
through the agency Of the school, and
may therefore be made an integral
part OF the educational work by the
school authorities.
Besides the boys and girls, clubs,
q number OF other agencies are at
work throughout the United States
aiding in the rural school advance.
MI. Monahan gives an account Of

these In his report. He describes,
among other things, the creation of
a rural school division in the Bureau
of Education, specially provided for
ny congress: state rural commissions
in several OF the states; work Of state
and county rural supervisors; and
school Improvement associations In
the country districts. He also dis.
cusses the important literature OF the
year dealing with rural life and ri.
raj education.

The Railroad Companies Demands.

Now come the eastern railroad corpo-
rations with counter demands and griev-
ances against their employees, to be laid
before the board of arbitration which it
is hoped will be organized under the
amended Erdman act. These counter
claims have taken the trainInen rather
by surprise, as II is not usual for employ
ing corporations to do more than resist
the demands OF the workers. 1t Is diff
cult to see why the railroads should not
have the right to set up a bill of par
ficulars III fhe matter is to be referred
to arbitrator for a general adjustment
of wages and working conditions. The
only way for an employing corporation
TO change its terms of employment
otherwise Is TO proclaim the change ar
bitrarily. In the present conditions this
would almost assuredly precipitate a
strike. The situation should not be en-
rirely jug-handled. One side should have
IS much chance to reshape conditions as
the other. There IS some talk now, in
the light OF the presentation of the rail-
roads demands. of the refusal on the
part of the operatives to go to arbitra-
ton. Such refusal would put them in
a decidedly bad position before the

Mr.. Lewis. the democratic whip of
the Senate, has been warned of a
rneditated republican scheme for tenn
porary control OF that body in the
tariff contest. So he has notified all
democratic senators to be faithful and
regular in attendance on the sessions
and thus preserve democratic advan-
tage.
The other day a story was put out
10 the effect that certain duties would
be voted into the tariff bill by a COM
bination of republican and certain
democratic senator's and then aban-
doned in the conference between the
two houses. AS stated. the object was
to enable those democratic senators to
square themselves with their constitu-
ents. who favored such duties.

But a republican advantage gained
through democratic absentees one day
attendance the next.
AS for the other maneuver 1t would
deceive nobody. Democratic senator's
who with republican aid should vote
duties into the bill in the Senate and
then consent to their abandonment in
conference would make themselves a
laughing stock. Neither their con-
stituents nor anybody else would be
misled. Such a buneo game would
ruin the players.
No, the case is made up. The meas

Saving the Babies.
rom the Providence Journal.

noteworthy and cheering piece of
news comes from New York to the effect
that the baby death rate in the city Is
lower for the first two weeks of July
than it has been for several years. AS
the weather has been quite as warm as
usual at this season the lowered death
rate is indicative of real progress In the
care of the helpless little beings who
have in the past been almost literally
murdered by ignorance. carelessness and
poverty. The better conditions are un-
doubtedy due to two sources. One of
these is the spread of knowledge con-
corning the care of babies; the other is
the campaign for better milk. 1t is
probable that the average kindly inten-
toned person who has no expert
knowledge or profound interest in civic
improv ement scarcely realizes what
tremendous fight has been carried on.
often against seemingly insurmountable
obstacles by few brave workers.

China and japan.

After some delay. the President has
filled the Chinese post with a scholar
and teacher who has made a study of
far-eastern politics and written books on
the subject His works have been trans
lated into several foreign languages, the
Chinese among the number So he is not
unknown in China, at least in literary
circles. and will carry with him a con-
siderable knowledge of the country and
its history.
As relating TO China, Dr. Reinsch's
studies must have been of the politics of
the past. New conditions have now
arisen, and China IS developing
new brand of politics. What has hither-
to been known as orientalism is shading
off into what Is known as occidentalism,
and new China under a republican form
OF government Is expected to show many
changes In the near future
Dr. Reinsch, therefore. at Picking will
have fresh studies in hand, and his sue

on his ability to make his old knowledge
