PROTECT THE CHILD AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS

"Recent studies Of the mode Of at
tack by tubercle bacili indicate that
children are much more easily infect
ed than adults, and that in most cases
the disease is contracted in very early
childhood.'' This is the opinion of DR.:
A. T. Laird, a director of the Mi1Dc-
sofa Public Health association and
superintendent Of the St. Louis county
sanatorium.
t'Practicallv no child in a family
where there is open tuberculosis es-
capes infection,'' says DR.. Laird.
"Adults probably rarely contract the
disease but develop it from foei with
in themselves acquired in babyhood or
early childhood. Consequently, exces-
sive fear of consumption. az it is us
ually called, is foolish, and reckless
living ia much more dangerous to
adults than casual contract with COR
sumptives.
"Childrer especially should have 6
long period in which to grow mp strong
and we'll under open air conditions and
accordingly should not be returned to
unfavorable surroundings afte, brief
stay at the sanatorium.

to protect them; the babies especial

LARGE CROPS ALONE DON'T
YIELD WEALTH

Crop yields are of outstanding i'm
portance in their effect ON farm prof
its. Records show that farms with
poor crops generally give law labor
incomes, and that farms with good
crops usually give high labor incomes.
A labor inc ONE is the amount Farmer
earns in excess of farm expenses, interf
est on the farm investment at s per
cent, and the value of the farm pro-
duce used in the household.
Records from 400 farms in Rice
county, Minnesota, show that the
farms with crop yields of less than 70
per cent of the average for the 400
gave an average labor income of $2O2
less than nothing. In other words, The
farmer had to take $202 from the in
terest on his farm Investment in order
TO pay the farm expenses. Those farms
having average crop yields gave a Ia
hor income Of 1919, and those with
crops more than 20 per cent better
than the average gave labor income
of $5U5.
Large crops fed to Improbable live
stock, or large crops produced at ex-
ressive cost, however, often cause
losses. Most Of the 400 farms in Rice
county. which showed good crops but
low labor incomes. had one or both
OF these causes to blame. Large crups
alone TO not assure farm profits.-A.

TIE. One Weeks Short Course for
Merchants will be held at the state
university, Minneapolis, the week be-
ginning Monday, January "a, along
the lines which proved successful for
two previous courses. #
The features which rendered the
course Of interest to those attending
it in 1914 and 1915 have been largely
retained and some additional ones have
been added which it is believed will
be of practical benefit.
Particular attention will be given to
advertising Of all kinds and to sales
manship. In both cases the material
to be presented will be Of such nature
as to be Of the greatest practical use
to the retail merchant located in the
smaller towns of the state.
More time will be given this wear
to lectures on particular. merchandise.
Textiles, groceries, leather and rub
Der goods, and hardware will be COW
cred by men who have given long
study to these lines and who will pre-
sent the points which merchant needs
to know in order properly to buy and
sell them.
Two periods will be given to ac-
counting. The irst will be devoted to
simple though complete system for
the smaller retailer. The second will
take up the plan adopted by the Com
mittee on Store Accounting.
Each evening there will be an illus
trated lecture or other entertainment
of popular nature, but each will have
direct bearing on the mercantile bust
ness. On Friday evening all will go
out to the farm school, where dinner
will be served, followed by play to
be presented by the university etu>

THINGS THAT PAY ON THE GOOD
,~ -: FARM


With each new area visited OF. old
area revisited by men doing the farm
management demonstration work for
the agricultural extension division OF
the University of Minnesota, it be-
comes more and more apparent that a
good size of business, good yields from
crops and from livestock, and a proper
Investigation Of the farm business,
are all essential to success in farming.
A recent demonstration in western
Minnesota shows this in striking fash
ion.
The most profitable ten farms in a
certain. locality were compared with
the average of some sixty farms visit
ed, and in all respects mentioned, were
found to be better than the average.
In the matter Of size, whether consid-
ering total acreage, acreage in crops,
or acreage in potatoes, these ten farms
average so per cent larger than the
average Of the locality. In returns
from livestock, the ten farms showed
10 per cent more income from each
animal than the average. The crops
were better, especially potatoes. the
most important crop, which went 122
bushels to the acre against an average
yield of 80 bushels. The farm business
was so arranged On these ten good
farms that every man and every horse
was able to cover from ten to twenty
per cent more ground than the aver
age.
As result of these methods, the ten
farms mentioned showed an average
labor income Of nearly $1400 while the
average man in the locality had a la
Dor income Of only $414. This is all
the more striking when one considers
that mans labor income is not mere
ly what he makes above expenses, but
is what is left as pay for his years
time over interest on his investment,
which in the case Of the larger farms
of the ten men mentioned would be a
heavier charge than the AVERAGES
