TO CONSERVE LABOR

One of the new plans for this year should be to conserve labor and get more for it. Labor has been too of ten used to disadvantage in farming. The manager has not always placed the proper value on his own labor, and as a result, has failed to get req sonable returns for it.
 Capital and labor must be combined In an economical manner for profitable farming. 1t is poor business to waste either. The land, teams, implements, seed, fertilizers and other things used as productive capital are dependent upon labor for profitable returns. To supplement capital labor must be con served and utilized to the best pos slble advantage.
 Labor Is far more expensive now than few years ago. This being true machines and implements that save la Dor are in demand. No one can af- lord to do with the hands what ma chimes and implements can do better and cheaper. Teams and other equip ment that reduce the number of hands necessary to produce crops are there fore sought with a view of conserving labor.
 Progressive farming requires in- vestment in labor saving equipment. Productive capital often means the difference between profit and loss. The question is not "Can l afford equip ment?" but "Can afford to labor without it?"
 Implements and machines that save labor give more time for education, recreation and efficiency. Men that have light work can use he brain more and become better operators. The brain Is the working force in progress slye, profitable farming these days Farm and Ranch.

SENATE TO CONSIDER
 SUBMARINE QUESTION
Majority of Committee FavOrs Policy of Administration to Proceed with Due Caution un- til all Facts are at Hand.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Consideratio of the situation growing out of the sinking by belligerent submarines of merchant vessels with American citi- zens on board will begin Friday by the senate committee on foreign relations. Senator Stone, chairman of the com mittee today issued the call for the meeting. Members of the committee generally agreed tonight that the whole subject of relations of the Unit ed States with the Teutonic powers would be discussed freely.
 The majority of the committee is understood to look with favor on the determination by the administration to proceed with the utmost caution. Late today Secretary Lansing sent to the committee an accumulation of in formation bearing upon the attitude of Great Britain toward neutral shippers called for in resolution by Senator Hoke Smith and information regard ing the negotiations with Germany over submarine warfare requested in an amendment offered by Senator Lodge.
 It was reported that although the information regarding the sinking of the Persia thus far received had been communicated to the committee, mem bers declined to divulge the exact na- ture of the documents received from the state department or discuss their contents.
 Official details on which President Wilson and Secretary Lansing will decide the course of the United States regarding the Persia were lacking to- night and in the absence of details off cial Washington continues to view the admittedly grave situation with an open mind
 During a conference which lasted an hour today the president and secre- tary of state carefully considered such information as had been received. While no announcement was made it is known the president will adhere to his position of taking no action of any sort until the full facts are before him.
 During the day the state department sent additional instructions to it's rep resentative abroad urging haste in the gathering of information. Secretary Lansing made it clear that the depart ment had received nothing which would establish two most essential points, namely whether a torpedo sank the Persia and if so, the nationality of the submarine which fired it.
