RAISE WHEAT ON CORN LAND
Investigation Shows That Crop Was
Much Larger Than on Any Other
Sol! In Northwest.

A singular fact came to the at
tention Of farmers Of the north CEN
tral states during harvest time. When
ever wheat had been sown cn corn
land tie crop was much larger than
On any otrer soil. Investigation has
shown this to be the case on so many
farms thst it is believed to be the
universal rule.
It is, perhaps, fair to assume that
in any scheme Of crop rotation the
intelligent farmer looks to the ad-
vantage OF thorough cultivation be-
fore anything else. Certainly he may
with rropriety be so advised. But
the next wise step would be to let
wheat follow corn.
Nner land plainly shows the need
Of q rest couple of crops Of colVer,
rillst or Canada peas serve the pur-
pose. Tie farmer who is fitting cattle
or hogs for market needs corn and
other fodder and he will find profit in
this sort CT diversifcation, perhaps
far beyond what he can gain from
raising wheat. The whole argument
is ii favor Of an Intelligent diversity
Of crops as well as thorough cult
vat;on Of tbs soil.

Feed for Colts.

After the colt has been weaned he
should be supplied with all the good
clover hay he will eat, being allowed
to feed off the ground. A liberal sup
ply of chopped oats should form a part
ot the ration, and It may be made more
palatable and digestible by pouring
boiling water over them and allowing
them to stand in closed vessel a, few
hours before feeding.

lance than the tariff reduction and 1t
was made at time when it would
most help the poor farmers who had to
buy grain.
The above article Is from Kansas
correspondent to Successful Farming,
a farm publication of Des Moines. He
saye the farmers OF his community are
much pleased that the price of corn is
being held down by imported corn
from Argentina. Last year the crops
in parts of Kansas were very much
shortened by lack of rain, and not
enough was raised for local needs,
Therefore the writer says that farmers
in his sections are gratitied that the
price of corn all over the United States
is low. This question at once suggests
itself:
Will the farmers in that section, if
this coming year is a favorable one
for corn and produces large crop, be
pleased if the price of corn is low?

With reference to the proposed
amendment to draw the teeth OF the
Mann white slave act so far as the
law permits blackmailers to ply their
peculiar art there seems no necessity
for haste in adopting the amendment.
Proponents of the amendment declare
that as the law now stands it permits
designing women to coax men to car,
nv" them across some state line for
immoral purposes and then bleed their
victim for various sums, according to
the ability of the threatened defendant
to pay. Several times it has been
pointed out that the proper and most
effectual way Of thwarting the black
mailers in this particular line OF en-
deavor is for the men to refrain from
being "enticed'' over state lines, or
over any imaginary line that may sep
arate good moral conduct from any

SAVING ON THE INCREASE.

The spread of the school savings
bank system is an encouraging sign OF
the times. The plan is already work.
Ing well in a number of American
cities and has the Endorsement of lead
ing educators.
SThis is not q money making plan
attall," says Louis Betz, Saint Paul
banker. Its an opportunity to spread
tie spirit of saving and help in the
education of children
The object of the school savings
bank system is to create habits of
thrift, industry and economy; to cult
waite self denial and self control; and to
develop in boys and girls an under
standing of the value of the right use
Of money.
In general the plan is to give every
child an opportunity to deposit his pen
through the medium of the organiza-
tior. formed for the purpose under the
supervision of the teachers and boards
of education.
The children leave their money at
the school and are given receipt
therefor. The school banker deposits
In one of the local banks the amount
received from the children who have
their accounts with him. The accounts
are checked up at stated intervals and
the money is subject to the order of
the child depositor or the parent.
The spendthrift tendency of the
American people is one of the chief
causes Of poverty and want. To over
come this tendency and make the fu-
ture generation thrifty and saving
one Is the chief purpose OF the school
savings idea. The inclination to save
is one that should be encouraged by
parents, teachers and friends Of chill
dren generally, as it means much, not
only to their future, but to the future
of the nation.

(which grew corn for sale last year are
disappointed at the course Of the mar
klet. Farmers in this section, which
grew but little corn, are pleased at be-
Ing able to buy corn for much less than
they expected to last fall. Corn Of fair
quality can now be laid down at our
country stations for 70 cents while oats
car be had for 43 cents. That corn Is
cheaper than many expected is due
mostly to the mildest winter ever ex-
perienced in the southwest. 1t is also
due to some extent to allowing corn to
come in duty free but it Is still more
due to reduction Of ocean freights
from Argentina. One year ago ocean
rates from that country to New York
were 10 cents hundred; now grain is
carried between the same ports for
Alp cents hundred. This reduction

WHERE HOPE LIES.


Under the heading, "A New Civic
Consciousness is the Hope Of the Ma
ton the Banker-Farmer prints an adj
dress by Douglas A. Fiske in which the
latter says:
1t is through our civic and CONNER
cial organizations that the citizen is
given an opportunity for service with.
out which we would not know how to
begin. Without the facilities of our
associations he would have no proper
forum in which to suggest his ideas,
no facilities to have them investigat.
ed, corrected and carried into prac.
tical effect. He would have no facil,
ties for correcting the evils or carrying
on a propaganda for the improvement
of the city. The association furnishes
point of contact between the individ-
ual and the city government. The in
individual gains the experience OF
other men who specialize in various
lines of public work. The influences
of these organizations and large mem
berships Is incalculable and their in.
fluence is radiating through the coun.
try. And I believe through the infiu-
ence of these associations more men
of ability and more men of experience
will be willing to. accept the duties and
obligations of public office. 1t is the
hope of this country that such men
take part in the making and admins
tration of the laws, and there are no
men as free for this work as those
who, by reason of having achieved a
competency, are relieved from the
temptations of want and are able to
give their time and their thought freely
to the solving of the problems OF gov
eminent.

p,sPos,Nc OF GARBAGE.

In nearly every city in the country
the question of garbage disposal Is be-
coming Of more importance each year
and for this reason 1t is interesting to
note how European cities handle the
problem after long years of expert
ment. According to a recent article
In the Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports in nearly every European city
the following general process Is fol-
lowed: The street sweepings, ashes
and trash are burned. The garbage it.
self is reduced and treated chemically
ito render it septic. Grease and oils
are obtained from the reduction, which
ln>(t the cities quite sum. The resi-
/ .ue is pressed into cakes and sold to
farmers for fertilizer, or used as fuel
and sold to the poorer classes.
Sewage is treated in the same way
, In separate reducers. 1t Is first treat
ed with chemicals to render it sterile
and then compressed into cakes for
j. fertilizing purposes. In some cities
sit is retained in liquid form, after be-
Ing sterilized, and conveyed to land
owned by the cities or large corpora
lions where it is used for fertilizer.
Many of these lands are used for nur-
to raise grain. The city Of Freiburg,
Germany, which owns land fortified
by its sewage, after it has been chem
ically treated, produces crops on the
land which yield an annual revenue of
about 335 an acre to the city.
The city of Barmen, Germany, has
developed the disposal problem to an
exact science. In addition to using
the sewage and garbage for fertilizing
purposes, selling 1t for a revenue, 1t
Makes the Stag that is left after the re-
Xduction process and uses it in the

lsteam raised Is used to run turbine
that is connected with dynamo. This
Sdynamo produces 100000 kilowatt
(hours of current every year and it is

tthe public.

tway to go to reach the municipal eff

BOXING.

Citizens of Wisconsin, described as
educational and religious leaders, seek
the repeal of the law which permits
regulated boxing matches. The idea
persists that boxing in itself is bad. Il
requires endurance, courage, skill
strength, sound heart, good lungs
agility, and a beautiful coordination
of muscles These things are all good
Is, then, the demonstration and use OF
them bad?
They are attributes of sound man
hood. They are the qualities which
added to intelligence, count elsewhere
than in the ring They are dependen,
on clean living and hard work. They
cannot exist either in sloth or vice
They can endure hard knocks. but not
soft living. They can go with brutal
ity, but they cannot survive licent'ous
ness or intemperance.
The qualities which boxing demands
are admirable. Boxers and promoters
of prize fights have a knack of not be
ing admirable, but the influence which
this sport has upon boys and young
mon is not to be discarded as vicious
Ideals of physical perfection and
courage are ValudDle. NC liosI InIoiii
gent people cherish them. Hard
knocks are not demoralizing. There
are worse things than boxing. Kelly
pool is one-to name pastime which
also appeals to young men.

that workers are underpaid. Doubtless
