 More than this, a large part of those engaged in agriculture have an affinity for the soil. :, They would rather farm than do any thing else: They do fesls dtho, that they are not fully appr eciated by world so dependent on their vocation for life itself. They do feel that it is due them that a special effort be made to put the mother industry on a more satis- factory foundation. They are de- nied the benefits of self help. Their isolation makes cooperation among themselves impractica ble. They believe that the fundamental importance of their industry justi- fies legislation somewhat special ill character, legislation which will enable the farmer to finance his many small propositions with less expense than he is now compelled to meet. This legislation would be enacted less to make farming pay than to make agriculture successful. With such help the farmer would farm better and we should all profit thrd this improve ment.
 There is no other business which pays as little as farming. There is no other business which would be continued under the discourage ments suffered by the farmer. We all want agriculture to flourish and the farmer to prosper. Then let US all urge that agriculture shall have the legislative relief for which the farmer asks.

Of course this does not mean that American farmers never make more than, per cent on their invested capital. Individual farm CTS do make more, but it follows also that individual farmers must make less.
 Why, it may be asked, do men engage in agric ulture, if there is so little in it? We'll that is not so hard, There is an independence enjoyed by farmer which makes

PROFIT IN FARMING

An investigation conducted by the government departmental of agri- culture has determined that Amer ican agriculture pays only 3 per cent on invested capital. This is a very small return and would go to show that agriculture considered in It's national aspect is not very prof. itable occupation. -

"And So" DR.. Ryan concluded,
"some Of the lessons PassaiC has
learned by bitter experience and is
willing to teach other cities for the
benefit of their baby saving work are
these:
THE fight must be not only in the
establishment of milk stations and
enforcement of rigid pure milk STAN
dards, but in patient, thorough edu-
cational work among the mothers in
the congested districts.
Prenatal work in the hands Of eX-
ceuent visiting nurses is a vital part
Of such instruction"

answered a recent request sent out
by the New York milk committee for
reports, Passaic reported the highest
infant death rate for 1915 - 1913
deaths for every 1000 population.
Also, of cities between $4,000 and
100000 population, Passaic has held
for 10 years the high record for per-
centage of deaths of babies under
one year of age.
l walked out pleasant, three-arched
avenues of Passaic and wondered
why the city's children failed to
thrive. Then I suddenly found the

knew the answer.
There are big wooden mills and
rubber factories. Packed in vile ten

Several years ago the workers Of
the city organized to try to do for
their fellows what the rich had not
done. The Passaic labor forums
fought cOUrageOusly for better milk,
better housing and a baby saving pol
icy, and so much was accomplished
that the infant death rate fell notice
