At the National Educational meet
ing Margaret Haley Of Chicago gave
some figures on teachers wages in Ill1-
nois that are interesting. It is most
likely that the same condition obtains
in most states. She said that there
are $40 teachers in Illinois getting
but 5000 per year and that out OF
3O,0 900 teachers, 10000 are getting
less than 1902 per year. There are
rs, ,159 teachers getting less than 5000
per Der Year Year. IN Miss f Haley VS. saws n that the the
teachers should throw off their timid-
ity and organize, and that they will
not be given their due until they are
in full possession of the ballot. That
the teachers, on whom so much of the
responsibility Of the future citizen
ship Of our country rests, are under
paid, there is no question. They are
entitled to fuller appreciation Of
the great work they are doing.

FARM MACHINERY 81 8 5 i IINs[vEssr16ENT. q

FARM MACHINERY sINVEsT1GENT
difficult problem on the American
farm is to decide how much and what
kind Of machinery should be purchas-
ed. Some farms are SO overstoc ked
with machinery that the depreciation,
interest, and repairs eat up much OF
the profits.
Assuming the average depreciation
on machinery at 10 per cent, and the
interest on the money invested at o
per cent, we have an average yearly
expense Of approximately $l3 on. eacn
800 invested in machinery. A man
who has $500 worth of machinery
would have $195 expense on this alone
in interest and depreciation: II ms
work could be done with half TINS
amount, he could save $97.5O. Thls
would be equivalent to the interest on
$l,625 at 6 per cent.
A farm of 80 acres cannot protitably
use 4.horse machinery because horses
should do the work on a farm Of this
size. In buying machinery too large
in proportion to the size Of the farm
unnecessary expense is added. This
comes not only in the increased cost
of the machinery, but also in the main
tainenance Of any extra horses re-
quired.
Before purchasing new machinery,
il is we'll to consider the following
questions:
Will the use of the new machine
Give me larger net return from the
crops on which it is used?
win the new machine reduce the de-
mand for man labOrY
Where machine is required only a
few days each year, can it not be rent
ed more cheaply than purchased?
6 Will the money to be invested re-:
turn more in some other wayY !,
Has the machine been thoroughly
tried out by others and found satlsfac-

culturist, University Farm, st. Paul.

RED CROSS SEALS SOLD IN 1913

RED CROSS SEALS BOLD In 1918
More than 44,OO0,OOO Red Cross
Christmas Seals were sold last Decem-
ber, according to report issued oy
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis,
and the American Red Cross. In this
way $4,000 is netted for anti-tu.
bereulosis work in various parts Of
the United States.
The sale in 1913 is gain Of
4 4,OOO,O 900 seals over 1912 or 10 per
cent. It is hoped that this year the
$4,000, 900 mark will be reached.
Minnesota, in 1913, bought 792, ,764
Of the 100000 Red Cross Christmas
Seals. sold through the union. This
number would probably have been
much larger If the Minnesota Assoc
citation for the Prevention and Relief
of Tuberculosis had not adopted =
resolution in 1912 that no more seals
would be sold by it in Minnesota.
The National Association, however,
protested against his action and on
the strength of their representations
the sale Of Red Cross Seals was con-
.tinued. Nearly $5,0oU.O0 was divided
among local anti-tuberculosis organl-
cations in the state and 100000 was
added to the treasury Of the State
Association. The balance was paid to
the National organization and for the
expense Of conducting the campaign.

that it was unaware that the demo-

There is likely very little division as
to the Wilson administration proper,
