THE FLAG.

Every nation has it's flag. It Is the
sign of its sovereignty. 1t is the
pledge of protection. 1t is an appeal
to patriotism, writes Charlton Bates
Strayer, in Leslie's. and he continues:
The flag Of a country embodies the
hopes and aspirations of a loyal peo-
pie and all they hold dear. Between
a patriotic man and the flag of his
country nothing can come. unless 1t
be duty to God, but seldom do these
duties conflict. Every man loves the
flag OF his country. just as one loves
his father or mother.
Every good citizen is loyal to the
flag in the same way a student Is loyal
to the college which gave him an edu-
cation. II he be an American citizen
he loves the Stars and Stripes as he
loves no other emblem that floats in
the breeze. To him it stands for an
equality Of opportunity such as is as
suredd nowhere else in the world.
To these hospitable shores millions
come every year that they may live and
labor under it's offer of opportunity
and promise of protection. No man
is a good citizen who does not love
tn0 Tag ana renOer IL the nOnOf
which is it's due. Not without good
cause is 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner
our most popular and inspiring ma
tional song.
What then shall we say Of the man
who denounces the flag? who cries as
does William B. Haywood. president
of the Industrial Workers of the
World: I'VE do not care for the flag.
We are against patriotism. There is
| only one flag for us and that is the
red flag" 1t would be surprising, in
deed, If the sober-minded, thoughtful
working men Of the world gave their
consent to such reasonable doctrine
or enlisted under such leadership.
In every well-governed, civilized
land, labor will win its triumphs un-
der the protection Of the flag. not by
repudiating it. The time has come
when there should be a well-defined
! line Of cleavage between those who
are committed to the defence Of theil
country's sacred symbol and who lool
in confidence to 1t for protection IL
working out the industrial problem.

BIG FARMS NECESSARY.

BIG FARMS NECESSARY.
The old hand-labor methods OF farm
ing, which are still common In Europe.
were suited to q small area Under
those conditions. q man needed only
as much land as he could properly
cultivate alone. says the Kansas In
dustrialist. A family was able to raise
only a small amount above that need
ed for their own living. II these meth
DDS still prevailed In this country. the
present number Of farmers would not
be able to support our city population.
On account of our modern machin-
cry, fewer men are needed in the
farming districts. and those not need
ed are able to devote themselves to
useful work in the cities and towns.
AS a result of this condition. more of
the benefits Of civilization, are available
to the farmer. Although the farmers
are fewer in number. the average pro-
duction of each man is increasing. The
peasant conditions existing in some
parts Of Europe are the result Of agri-
culture being developed ON the basis
of the maximum product an acre. in
stead OF the maximum product a man.
The American type Of farming needs
large areas in contrast to the Euro
pean type. Modern machinery. with
the use of more horses and fewer
men. has made the small farm an in
efficient unit. These are the conclu-
sions of scientists of the United States
department Of agriculture, who recent
ly completed a Announcement sur
vey in the corn belt.
The states in the corn belt were
chosen for this survey because they
excel almost all other regions in
wealth Of farm products. On rich
soil. with ample rainfall, a system Of
agriculture Is found that il unequaled
as an example Of the expansive type Of
farming.
It was found that the landlords, on
the average, received 3.5 per cent on
vestments had no apparent bearing on
the rate of the income. This survey
shows that a labor income Of $50 to
the operator, whether owner or tenant,
and a return Of 3.5 per cent on the
capital invested. may be expected.
The tenants income is in direct
proportion to his capital and the size
OF the farm he operates. Men own
ing small farms often materially in
crease their incomes by renting addi-
tional land. In this way. they get
more use from their equipment with
out much increase in capital.
Modern machinery, with the use OF
more horses and fewer men. has made
the farm Of fewer than 100 acres in
this region an inefficient unit. In the
corn belt states the family-size farm
seems to be the most desirable. 1t pro-
vides work for the farmer and his
sons and permits the best use of men.
horses, and machinery. If a small
farm has a place. 1t must be near a
city and should be highly diversified
in it's organization.
The average amount invested in farm
machinery and tools on the owner
farms is 1891. The annual expense for
new machinery and cash repairs is II
per cent of the inventory value. This
amounts to so cents a year for each
acre. On the rented farms the aver
age amount invested is $685. and the
cash paid out for the new machinery.
harness and repairs in q per cent OF
the inventory value. This makes a
cost Of Sc cents a year for each acre.
