THE PRESIDENT AND THE G. A. r.

RESIDENT WILSON'S refusal to
- attend the Memorial Day exer-
i cises of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Arlington, while at
the same time accepting an invitation
to speak at the unveiling of monu-
ment to the Confederate dead in the
same cemetery next. Thursday, has
aroused Indignation throughout the
country.
Commenting on Tie Presidents re-
fusal to take part in the memorial
services, the Scranton Tribune -Repub-
lican says:
Coming on the heels of the action
of the Democratic administration in
removing old soldiers from the
Washington post office the veterans
have reached the conclusion that
prejudice, or at least Indifference
toward them, is entertained in ad-
ministration circles in Washington.
The Presential explanation that he
will absent himself from the Me-
mortal Day exercises because of
determination to decline all invita-
tions to appear in public. while the
Mexican trouble is on, is not re-
garded as sufficient for his accept
ance of the Confederate invitation
following his refusal to participate
exercises.
The conviction that the President
is unfriendly toward the Grand
heightened by the recollection that
Mr.. Wilson absented himself from
the Arlington Cemetery Memorial
Day ceremonies year ago, spend
ing the day motoring in Virginia :
The veterans are very bitter and
their feeling is shared by thousands
of people throughout the United
Jph al hof
died for their country are entitled
to more consideration.
1t has not been forgotten that
President Wilson declined to attend
the great reunion of the survivors of
the Gettysburg battle last year and
that 1t was only by insistent urging
on the part of Democrats who real
ized the political effect of the Presi-
dents indifference that he was finally
persuaded to spend few minutes on
the battlefield. His special car was
run within a few feet of the entrance
of the great tent in which the cere-
monies took place, and as soon as his
brief address was ended he hurried
away to his summer home in New
Hampshire. There was much com
ment among the old veterans at the
time regarding President Wilson'S s
neglect of them; and now comes a
statement Of the president of the
National Association of Post Office
Clerks protesting against the removal
of veterans from positions in WASH
ington which they are qualified to fill.

The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1914-06-26

AT recent groupe meeting Of the
Farm Advisers Of Southern Missouri
where Farm Records and surveys
were carried on under government
instruction it was found that rs per
cent Of all the farmers visited were
actually losing money each year but
they were ignorant of the fact be
cause no books or records were kept.
In some instances one branch, phase
or crop yielded relatively large net
returns while another that " as sup
posed to be money maker ate up
the profit of the former. A simple
set of accounts would have shown
these men what they were doing and
where the leaks are. A business
however simple, of any consequence,
is never undertaken without books. II
is much more important in farming
where there are so many different
projects being carried on that records
should be kept to show which are the
remunerative and which the unre-
munerative practices. IL is not diff
ficult, does not take much time; it
pays big, and unless IA man is afraid
to face squarely what h is doing. it
is the thing to do.
OF the % per cent that did not
lose money on these operations there
were but two or three that made more
than an ordinary hired mans wages
of $50 to $500 year. But this is
better than loss. The two or three
that did make fair we're ON bet
ter land and really were on poorer
land that som Of the looscls. Why
did they make money where others
lost? There certainty mu5l he re
ason. Some Of the things the records
showed about these mon were they had
their farms systcmizcd; they kept
about or less detailed records Of each
farm OPP ration; they knew what each
crop, field or animal was doing for
or against dividends; they were dair-
ing or live stock raising and feeders |

STATE NURSERY. AND
ORCHARD INSPECTION
BY Leonard Haseman


The Inspection Service of the Mis-
souri, Agriculture Experiment Sta
ton Will begin its second years work
OF inspection of nurseries and or
chards. This work is done in con-
nectlon with the enforcement of the
Inspection Law passed by the last
Legislature. This law requires that
all nursery stock Dropagated in the
state be inspected. once ench year bee
fore the grower can sell it or or
| otherwise dispose of il. This is done
to prevent the further spread OF dam
gerous insects and plant diseases on
such stock. There are in the state
between 1875 and lb0 men and firms
propagating nursery stock which, in
cludes not only fruit trees, but also
shade trees, ornamental shrubs, vines,
blackberries, respberries and in fact,
all woody plants grown out of tours.
The law requires all men and firms
propagating such stock to apply To, the
Chef. Inspector, Columbia, Missouri,
for an inspection of such stock before
the first of July of each year, 80 that
all of the stock can be- inspecta,i' dur
the months of. July and August: when
the State Inspectors are devotIin, their
entire time to such work.
The State Law requires that all
men and firms who are NOT propa-
eating nursery stock hut who buy and
sell it under their own name as dealer,

chitects, eto., must, apply for Raaler's
Certificate. All regular agents rep
resenting Missouri nurseries in other
states must secure al Stata Agents
permit by applying at the Office of
the Chef lnspeGtnr.
In order to make the, work of the
Inspection Service the most effec-
tive possible and in ordhr tn protect

DO NOT SUCKER CORN

Corn develops Suckers" or killers
when conditions are perfect for grow
ing corn. Suckers are an indication
of an abundance of food plant. The
thinner the stand the more they de-
velop. Indeed with a maximum stand
few suckers develop and the occasions
are rare when their removal will be
found profitable.
The Nebraska station found the de-
crease in yield caused by removing the
suckers or tillers to be as follows:
With stand of one stalk per hill, the
yield was reduced Sc per cent; with
two stalks per hill, Is per cent; three
stalks per hill, per cent, and four
stalks per hill, per cent.
With these figures as guide we
cannot afford to stop cultivating to
remove the suckers.
