and over 300 bushels OF onions. they
grew double and began to rot as soon

low price in order to avoid a total

Funds Less Than Last Year.

State officers and the chairmen OF
the senate and assembly finance COM
lnittees were told by State Treasurer
Johnson that on March l, 1918, after
deducting the university and normal
school tax, there was but s1,153, 1864
in the treasury as compared with So
995, 669.29 in the same date last year.
The conference was called at the
suggestion of Treasurer Johnson in
view of the fact that the legislature
has made an extraordinary appropria-
ton of 100000 for the purpose of
meeting the demand by counties on
the highway aid fund.
The railroads will pay no more taxes
until August, when they will add some
S1,900,000 to the treasury. There will
be some inheritances taxes, but prob
ably not as much as in 1912. The in
come tax, MIR. Johnson says, viii not
amount to more than $4,000 instead
of 100000 as once predicted
The capitol building expense has to
be met, all the expenses of the many
departments, the maintenance of the
institutions and the many other items
Of necessity, with no great amount OF
revenue in sight until next August.
AT the conference A. r. Hirst OF
the highway commission said that in
oil probability none of the S470,0Oo
appropriated for highway aid would
be needed before September.

Politics Extraordinary.

1t is heard from Washington that
the Democratic leaders in the house
do not propose to bring up at this
session. or for some time to come. the
six-year single-term constitutional
amendment resolution passed by the
senate. While other infinite pretexts
are stated. the real reason, according
to current gossip. is a peculiar ex-
hibition of politics.
The Democrats in the house. ac-
cording to this story, know what gave
their party the presidency and do not
propose to lose it. They owe their
tenure of power to Theodore Roose-
velt's candidacy last year, and they
are counting on his playing the same
beneficent role in 1916 To make in
eligible the man who presented them
with the presidency and the senate
and from whom they expect similar
gifts in the future, would be an al
truism that they have no intention of
attaining.
Alert politics, no doubt. But might
not these Democrats consider whether
the kind of politics that ignores plat
form professions and makes present
party exigeney rule in constitutional
legislation may not cost more than it
comes to?

Democratic Party up Against"
Campaign Promises.
Chances Are Largely That the Usual
Ineompeteney and Ineffieiency

Democratic senators and represen-
tatives who will sit in the next cons

interpret and decide upon the bind
ing character of the Baltimore plat
form. There is a good deal Of dispute
about the instrument, and the time
approaches when ii must be fulfilled
or repuoiated in legislation,
The country, of course. is familiar
with the campaign interpretations.
They were all to the effect that the
instrument was clear as to meaning
and square as to intention. If in
vested with power the democracy
would faithfully keep all the promises
made
But now objections are heard about

have a second
Tolls for our coastwise shipping

The Baltimore platform declares for
free passage. and the declaration was
aimed at the freight-rate trust of the
transcontinental railroads. American
and Canadian. Play into the hands of
the railroads in such open fashion?

Mr.. Jones says: who really be

seen one after another of the blasted
things thrown into the back alley al

Cry W. ]. SPITLMAN, CHIEF OF Farm
Management. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
At no time in the history of this
country has there been SO much in
terest in farming on the part of
city people as there is at the pres
ent time, In nearly all large cities
courses of lectures In agriculture are
being given under various auspices,
aud the attendance is taxing the ca
pacity of the largest available audi
forums. AT the same time there is
a remarkable increase in attendance
in the agricultural classes in the col
leges. The causes of this movement
back to the land are many.
First has been the work of the col
leges, ard especially of the expert
ment stations. in getting at the prin-
ciples involved in agriculture.
Second President Roosevelt's coun.
try life commission had great deal
to do in awakening public sentiment
on this question and in giving agri-
culture standing in the social life
of the city. This commission was the
butt of the newspaper funny man and
the cartoonist, but it aroused public
interest in matters agricultural as
nothing else has ever done.
II has opened all the popular maya
zines and all the important newspa-
pers of the country. and one scarcely
picks up one of these nowadays with

ton may be. the fact remains that
we have an Unborn instinct which
makes the average man happy out in
an environment which nature has pro-
duced unaided.
Let us first consider those difficult
ties which arise at the very beginning
OF the transfer from the city to the
country.
The first of these has to do with the
real estate agent The man who has
lived all his life in the city is no
judge Of the agricultural value of a
piece of land.
He does not know what is a fair
price for land under a given set of
conditions. hence he is an easy mark
for a real estate agent. and unfortu-
nately some men are engaged in this
business whose word cannot always
be trusted.
Hence n man who is contemplating
a radical move of this kind should
study the matter until he understands
1t, and finally select land in a locality
where there are good markets. where
the soil has possibilities in it. and
where he can get a piece of land at
its real market value.
The second great difficulty lies in
the city mans ignorance OF the prin.
ciples involved in farming. No other
sphere of human activity involves
knowledge of so many principles as
does farming.
A few Of the things q man has 70
know before he can make a success
of farming are as follows: He must
know how to manage the SOIL he
must know when it is in condition for
blowing and for the different tillage
operations: he must know the value
and use of manure and fertilizers: he
must know how deep to cover differ
ent kinds of seed and the season for
different farm operations.
He must have a pretty general
knowledge OF the types of farming in
order to be able to select a type suit
able TO his conditions, and there Is a
great multitude of them to choose
from.
He must know the amonnta of capi.
tai required for a given agricultural
undertaking; also the amount of labor
required He must know what are the
best varieties of crops to be planted
the season for planting and harvesting
these crops; the rate of seeding;
how much work stock is needed, and
how much OF other kinds of livestock:
how much feed these animals will
consume.
One OF the things which It is highly
important for the successful farmer to
know is what constitutes a fair days
work on the farm II he is ignorant
of this he win be imposed upon By
many hired laborers he is so unfor-
tunate as to be compelled TO employ.
In addition to knowing about the
soil, the capital and labor required.
the varieties of crops TO grow, and de-
tails of growing them. he must under
stand the principles of marketing
farm produce,
Fortunately the city man is usually
better qualified for this part Of farm
management than is the average farm
er because he knows more about con.
ditions in the cities. where he must
find his markets.
