That is 10 say, all the other nations
would neither buy from nor sell TO the
offending country, nor would the sale
Of its bonds be permitted outside Of
its own country.
Under such commercial and fnan-
cial ostracism a country would be fore
ed TO rely wholly upon itself in the
conduct Of a war. Its foreign trade
would be unable 10 buy supplies or to
borrow money except from its own
people. The business affairs Of the
world are today so closely connected
and intenelated that no nation could
long stand so isolated. Its industries
would soon be wrecked, its credit de-
stroyed and its resources exhausted.
The financial power of the world is un-
doubtedly stronger than all its fleets
and all its armies, and there is little
doubt that if it could be effectively
combined in the interests Of peace
there would be no more war, Globe

War Costs and Effects

Experts have from time 10 time
made startling estimates OF the cost OF
the great war. They have included
loss Of property and the indirect losses
due to Withdrawal OF so many soldiers
from the pursuits Of peace. But the
figures were beyond comprehension
and their effect was marred by a real
ization that they were partly based on
guesswork. The statement made by
Chancellor Lloyd George, presenting
the budget to the House Of Commons
is impressive, both because it is
official and because it permits
comparisons He estimates that if the
war continues throughout the fiscal
year the expenditures Of Great Britain
will be SIS, ,682, 100000. The entire
cost Of our civil war 10 the Uuion was
less than So, ,O00,O00,0OO. The great
er portion Of this cost was paid through
war taxes. Great Britain's revenues
have beenn but slightly increased, A
national debt, which aIrendy nmounts
to SIS, ,800,0 900, 900, is being piled up
up for posterity to pay. Another in
teresting feature Of the report is the
fact that the cost is progressive, the
second four months campign costing
50,O00,0OO, more than the first
Great Britain is financing the war fol

Care Of Chicks Ten Days Old

New hatched chicks require special
food and care especially during the
first ten days.
Aftdr they are ten days old the fol-
lowing mixture should be kept in a
trough where the chicks can run 10 it
at all times:
80 parts corn meal, so parts wheat
middlings, 10 parts pure beef scrap
siited fine and one part bone meal and
finely cut green food.
AZ the chicks increase in size the
mixed chick food can be replaced by
coarser grains. AT this stage it may be
advisable 10 feed a wet mash once a
day about 4: P. M. The chicks should
be given no more feed than they will
eat UP before going to roost. As they
increase in size they should have ac
cess to dry mash in a hopper where
they can help themselves.
Some essentials for successful brood
ing are, clean food consisting Of bott
cracked grains and ground feed; ami
NAL food, sucn as milk, buttermilk o.
commercial beef scraps; extra bont
making material, such as bone meal
clear water; plenty Of shade: comfort
abl dry quarters; freedom from lice
and access TO fresh clean earth.

ChinCh Bug Disease Found Everywhere

Each year hundreds Of inquiries
have come to the University Of Mis-
souri, regarding the so'called "chinch
bug disease" and the artificial distri-
button Of it for controlling the chinch
bug. Several years ago when the So
called disease was FIRST discovered it
waa supposed to be distributed only in
a few parts OF the country and attempts
we're made to distribute it into all Of
the localities where the chich bug was
present. After careful study the dis
ease was found to be merely the work
Of parasitic plant or a fungus, which
develops from seeds or spores similar
to other plants and lives on the body
Of the bug. These spores are micro
scopic objects and like the seeds Of
plants remain dormant until the proper
weather conditions come. The spores
require continued warm sultry weather
ior sprouting and developing. These
conditions usually occur about wheat
cutting time. During the dry sum
mers no spores sprout and the disease
does not develop.
The spores are now abundant every
where awaiting proper weather con-
ditions. They are in the air, in the
soil and on the bodies Of the bugs but
will not sprout until conditions are ex-
actly right, The disease will develop
on chinch bugs collected anywhere if
they are put in a warm damp jar for
about ten days. 1t is merely waste
Of time 10 scatter few bugs which
have been killed by the disease.
That merely means that a few more
spores are scattered in the field to re-
main dormant the same as the billions
already present. The disease is very
effective when it works at all it will
do so without help from the farmer.
The thing 10 do now is not to waste
time with the disease but be ready for
the campaign with dust or chemical
barriers when the bugs migrate at
wheat cutting time. One should
make the first move and not wait until
the bugs have started to emigrate, L.

Easy to Build ConCrte SilOS

Plans and specifications for the
building Of concrete silos will be fur
nished free OF cost TO any Missouri
farmer who wants to build a concrete
silo upon application to the Agricul
tnral Extension Service, College Of
Agriculture, Columbia, Missouri.
These plans have been prepared by
the Department OF Agricultural Engi'
neering, and by their use, any
man who is handy with tools can build
a set OF silo forms. The directions
Tor using the silo forms are so simple
that every farmer who will follow in
instructions may become his own silo
builder. After the silo is finished, the
forms can be rented or sold.
In addition to supplying plans and
specifications the college Of Agricul-
ture will as far as possible, send man
to give personal assistance to those
farmers who desire help in starting
silo. This man will oversee the set
ting up of the forms and the proper
mixing OF the concrete. He will see
that the reinforcement is properly
placed and show how 10 raise the forms.
He will stay on the job as long as his
assistance is needed.
Farmers who receive personal help
in starting concrete silos must pay
the expenses Of the man who gives
the help. There will be no charge
for his time. Arrangements should
be made we'll in advance. Only a
limited amount Of assistance can be
given and the College Of Agriculture
will follow the rule Of first come,
first aerved." No help can be given
until the foundation is in, but the
building Of the foundation requires no
special supervision. Futher iniorma'
ton and bulletins on silos and silage
may be had by writing to the College
OF Agriculture, Columbia, Missouri. -

Spring in The Ozark Land

To the sequestered valleys OF the
Ozarks Spring came some time ago
and sultry day tells US that the April
OF the south is the Eldest daughter oI
the sun. Far in the dazzling sunshine
tower the hills, with the verdure Of
Hope and the germ Of Promise gain
ing hourly subtle and thrilling vic
tory over the gloomy powers Of Winter
and decay. A cloudess sky arches
the landscape from horizon to horizon.
In the leafy elms there is the rustling
Of a gentle wind that speaks Of summer
and the faint and interrupted murmur
Of the bee brings happy thoughts Of
sweet bright flowers in hidden dells
by tiny rivulets that are musical in
solitudes which no man iuvades. The
aromatic sassafras and the odoriierous
cedar have a message to the senses
that calls up the glowing, radiant
Orient and the myuh and frankincense
Of Arabia Felix.
Spring has come, and with her,
music OF birds and swelling Of buds,
and the voice Of distant waterfalls.
Green herbs are stirring in her breath.
A thousand flowers upon the hill sides
and the borders Of the brooks nod
gayly to each other. Glossy leaves of
resplendant emerald hue are glistening
in the sun, and silver waters sparkle as
they hasten TO join the great white
river Of the Ozark land.
Spring has come and to woods and
wastes, and giant hills with huge hearts
Of metal and stone, has brought bloom
and joy again. Flocks and herds re-
joice, and happy are all living things
that tread the beauteous scene and
cast their eyes upon the upland slope,
girt by mighty hills that soon shall be
crowned with heads Of long enduring
green.
The Hesperian sun Of evening
seems TO leave behind him for little
while rays Of that light which once the
poet thought was never yet upon land
or sea, and cold must be the spirit and
torpid the memory that does not recall
dim but potent dreams, now realized,
Of refuge where Nature should be
a calm and gentle mother; where the
turmoils might be forgotten and the
weary heart might be at rest.
In the city's din and dust strong
hearts are slowly breaking for the lost
delights Of green fields, waving woods
and babbling brooks. For days that
are dead, for hopes that have fled they
are always intoning a dirge. And yet
here stretch the interminable acres Of
the Land Of Promise, where the birds
carol welcome, where the glittering
insects hum and drone it, where the
leaves whisper it and all the rivers and
and the rills and the springs murmur
and chatter it. Today life goes dream
lily in this land oI the lotus, where as in
Mexico, it is always afternoon. But
the new forces will soon make it a
morning land, in which the tireless
hands Of Commerce will for long ages
weave chaplets in the looms Of Indus
try to crown the brow Of Progress with
its own appropriate garland. fancy

State Tax Commission.

From some quarters an agita-
ton is being started for the abol-
ishment of the state tax COM
mission. Any such movement if
traced down will be found to
come either from the corpora
tions or else from those who are
misled by clamor. Some count
les have been raised in their
assessments and the people may
have been led to believe that
they were being unjustly treat
ed.
1t is true that improvements
can be made in the law. 1t is a
complex problem that must be
worked out slowly and as exper-
ience shows the proper steps to
be taken. But in principle there
can be nothing more fair to the
people of the state as a whole.
Before the establishment of
the commission each county fol-
lowed its own method of valua-
ton. The lower the assessment
could be made the less state tax
es it was necessary to pay. The
county revenues could be met by
raising the levy. but the state
levy is fixed. For instance
some counties were assessing
cattle as low as So a head. while
others were assessing at $50.
In the county where IS was the
valuation it is plain that there
was Sinking of a burden which
some other county had to carry.
The tax commission must be
retained, strengthened. and the
law improved in its details, for it
is an institution that will bring
the state onto a business basis.
There should be no thought Of
returning to the old haphazard
method in vogue in former years.
Some boards probably may be
dispensed with, but certainly
the abolishing of the tax com
mission would be a step back
