Taking Long Steps.

For the first time in 112 years, a
president stood in the halls of con-
gress this week and addressed the
legislators Of the country. Not since
John Adams, the second president of
the country, has the chief executive
visited congress in person.. The Gus
tom died with Jefferson who would
not make his addresses in person be-
cause he was a poor speaker.
President Wilson is stepping over
tradition and custom in order to get
close to the law makers and make
them deliver the promises of the Dem
pcratic party. While his action may
not appeal to some who are out of
sympathy with any movement which
is a departure from past procedure,
it will appeal to the common people.
The favorable impression President
Wilson is giving grows stronger
every day.

holds her captive until she is releas-
ed by the attendant. The nest is Of
sufficient size to allow the hen plenty
of space to move around in, or she
would be apt to break the egg.
"By taking. the hens of highest
trap-nest record and mating them
with males descended from heavy
layers you will lay the foundation of
a good strain of heavy layers. BY
careful trap-nest culling and with the
same care in breeding, year after
year, you will build your flock up to
a high state of efficiency.
at is not at all uncommon for
flocks that are trap-nested to average
$50 eggs per hen per year. At the
same time these flocks not infrequent-
ly con tain individuals that have a re-
cord of 200 to 23O eggs each per
year.
The latest figures at hand from the
department of agriculture declare
that the average farm hen lays less
than eighty eggs per year. Sixty eggs
per hen per year would probably be
overestimating the average, uncared-
for farm hen. At any rate, the great
difference between 200 to 23O eggs
and sixty or eighty egg sic enough to
thing about seriOuSly."

A Bad , Bill.

On the calendar of the house there
is today bill which is designed to
prohibit dancing in the public schools
of the state. "The bill might better
have been labeled" says the Duluth
Herald, "A bill for an act to foster
the public dance hail."
It has so happened in Bemidji that
the schools have not been used for
dancing although the day may come
when they will be. The High school
gymnasium and halls could be used
for many of the school parties which
are now given down town but if this
bill passes the legislature, it will be
impossible for them to be so utilized.
With the development of the Soc
ial center idea as related to the
schools, has come dancing in the
schools. 1t is allowed in the Mime
apolis schools, is encouraged at the
Universit, and is permitted in many
of the larger cities of the country.
The school dances not only keep the
young people away from the public
dance halls-for young people will
dance but increase the return in
utility of the school buildings.
Without social center development,
four-tifths of the capital invested in
public school buildings is wasted be-
cause the buildings lie idle with the
exception of a few hours in each day
and are usually closed in the sum-
r1er: The larger cities have found
the social center idea a good one
with which to combat the pulling
power of the public dance halls and
cheap theaters.
Surely the legislature will see that
at should do nothing to stop the
growth of the social center idea. In
stead, it should lend it's aid whenever
possible.

DOUBLE EGG PRODUCTION.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, contributor says that
poultry raisers can practically double
their egg production if they persis-
tently use the trap nest. Following
is an extract from his article:
"For the benefit of those who: are
not acquainted with the trap-nest I
will explain in detail its purpose.
The trap-nest is nest so contrived

ORGANIZING IN OREGON

The following is taken from an ar
ticle entitled "Businesslike Commun-
ity Farming," published in the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
zone of the best demonstrations of
the businesslike attitude of the Ore
gon mind is the East CASTOR associa-
ton of Washington county in the
Willamette Valley, about twenty-five
miles south of Portland. The asso-
citation embraces rich farm area of
about seventy-tive square. miles. The
genius of the scheme is Mr.. w. K.
Newell, president of the Association,
which includes about fifty farmers.
'FThey voted to raise the same kind
of stock. They at once proceeded,
about three years ago, to raise only
Holstein cattle, to buy, in common,
high-standard bulls. Some got reg
istereda heifers, and all COWS had the
Helstein strain, no other bulls being
used.
"On the same principle they select
ed two breeds of hogs Berkshires
and Jersey Reds-and worked out all
that did not have one or the other of
these strains. .,.4
"They also settled upon one breed
of sheep, and for poultry they raised
only White Leghorns and Rhode Is
land Reds. ~
'No one in the association adver-
tises or pushes the sale of anything
as from his special farm, but every
thing is East CASTOR They get four
cents a pound more for the butter-fat
in East CASTOR cream than any other
brings. They guarantee the quality
and also the amount they will furn-
ish. .ass <&# 5s4.s ~
fsNo one of them pays more than
five per cent interest on money, and
that in part of the world where
eight per cent is quite the common
figure. The members of the associa-
ton know all about one another's
business, and it necessary will back
up anyone who needs money for the
Improvement or development Of farm
or stock. s
"They have dubbed together and

In the last analysis, it will probably
be found that poor distribution has
more to do with the high cost of liv-
ing than the tariff. !.
