A DREAM

The principles we ponder, the ~adages we quote. depend O N just
what it is we have in mind, for a proverb "a be found on every side
OF every subject. Regarding the gentleman who is struggling o hard,
with his millions OF dollars and his many so-caned newspapers. to bring
the Democratic party and also the American nation into disrepute, the
aptestq quotation that comes to mind is this:
A wise old owl lived in al oak;
The more he ia the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the he heard;
Why can't Bill Hearst be like that bird?
There are at least W reasons:
l He could OF stop his noise and be happy.
2 Even il he did stop, he could eve hear the finer and deeper
truths of life. To think of him rvaing this owl is the widest dream.

Prof. Curtiss of Iowa Col
lege Sees Serious
Effect
ON BEEF PRODUCTION
IN CATTLE EPIDEMIC
Federal Money to Fight the
Foot and Mouth Dis
ease Low

Washington, Nov l4.-Striking figures
and facts in relation to the production o.
beef cattle in this country were pre-
sented in paper before the American
Society of Animal Production by Profess
sor C. +. Curtiss of the Iowa state col
lege at Ames The figures presented by
Professor Curtiss cannot be interpreted
as meaning cheaper beef in this coun-
try.
| Professor Curtiss is one of the ex-
| perts who have been investigating the
shortage of beef production in this coun-
try, and what he had to say was there
fore of special interest. He touched on
the present scourge of foot and mouth
disease and said it would result in a
large depletion both of beef and dairy
herds and would cost millions of dollars
TO the country through destruction of
livestock and otherwise.
Evidently Uncle Sam is in need OF a
pidCticdi course III ldIHi management,
said Professor Curtiss, in describing the
cattle situation.
He said there were l,4l9,000 fewer cat
Tie slaughtered in 1914 than in 1913, and
the total number of cattle in the United
States had shrunk from 81 100000 in
1907 to 35,000,000 in 1914. In the chief
range states, the shrinkage was from o.
900 900 in 1907 to 100000 in 1914.
After abiding to the general pros
perity as regards farm crops, Professor
Curtiss said:
Business men and bankers are re-
joicing that the expectation of agricul
tural products has turned the tide of
credit in the last sixty DAYS. Yet Ar.
gentina sent in 200,000,000 pounds of beef
from January to July. 1t is evident
that Uncle Sam is in need of practical
course in farm management
"The export of large quantities of cot
tonseed and linseed oil, meal, and gluten
feed and other raw materials in the form
Of farm crops and grains and the annual /
of millions of dollars on fer |
tilizer and beef in foreign countries is |
not a sound agricultural policy"
1t is essential that beef production be |
re-esta blished on the farms in view of |
The shortage of beef cattle on the ranges,
'aid Professor Curtiss. Encouragement |
If beef production on the farms of the
agricultural states, he said, would tend
argely TO increase the fertility of soil
If those states.
If the country is to produce beef
.nough to feed the people and at the
anne time keep its farms up to the
proper level OF productiveness, he held.
areful attention must be given to the
problem of raising more beef cattle.

pear to believe that the reason all farm
ers are not rich is because of extrav-
agance, wastefulness, ignorance, and a
lack of business ability. To these let
tiers the departments specialists reply
much as follows:
"As matter Of fact, farmers as
class are intelligent, Industrious, ami
economical, and many of them are men
of good business Judgment. Further,
those who have made thorough study
OF the business side of farming know
that it is not an easy matter to make
money on the farm. Only the most
practical and experienced farmers are
making any considerable profit out Of
their business. Most of the money that
has been made on the farm in recent
years has been made, not by farming,
but by the rise Of price on farm lanus.
In the nature of things this rise cannot
continue indefinitely, and someone will
own this land when the price becomes
practically stationary or perhaps starts
to decline.
"While it is true that occasionally
city bred family makes good on the
farm, this is the exception and not the
rule. 1t is always a risk to invest in
business without first making a thor
ough study of that business. Many city
people who have saved up few hun
dred dollars and who have had little or
nc farm experience, but who are imbued
with rosy vision of the joys and prof
its in farming, buy poor land at high
prices and thereby lose the savings they
have been years in accommodating. One
city family paid $4,000 cash and as
sumed a $4,000 mortgage on farm
worth only about Sll 900. Another paid
$4,000 cash and sigsed a mortgage for
$4,000 on a farm that was later APP
praised at $4,000. A city family that
had saved $4,000 used this money to
make a first payment on cheap farm
and, and when their eyes were opened
found they still owed considerably more
Than the farm was worth. For seven
years they have worked almost night
md day to meet the interest, without
being able to reduce the principal. These
instances could be multiplied almost in
