its equilibrium as succeeding portions
Of the German answer were received
and read, with resultant deductions
of more conciliatory nature.
During the first hour S11.4O shares

Has Made STUDY Of Buddha.

DR.. David Brainard Spooner, who
propounds the theory that Buddha was
not a Hindu, as is the prevailing belief,
is an American, native Of New Eng
land, and for some time has been in
the employ of the archaeology depart
ment Of the government Of India. 1t
is his belief that Buddha was Per
sian and a renegade from Zoroastri-
anism, rather than renegade from
Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha in the ancient
Parsee scriptures as hereto, term
which could not have been used had
he not been connected originally with
Zoroastrianism, believes Doctor
Sponer. Among this explorers
achievements is the unearthing Of
Buddha's bones from a mound near
Peshawur in northwestern India.

BIGGEST PROBLEM
OF THE FARMER

It is difficult to say what the farm
ers biggest problem is, but certainly
a very big problem is that Of paying
interest on excessive investments in
land. The paying OF dividends on
watered stock is q burden to any bust
ness, and when the farmer must pay
interest and taxes on S175 investment
in order 10 get the use Of an acre of
land with prices OF farm products as
they have been in recent years, the
farmer is in great danger of going
without profits, and even without fair
wages for the work he performs. 1t
is a mistake to think that q farm is
worth SITS an acre because other peo-
pie seem to be Wiling to pay thft
amount regardless Of its productive
power The other fellows may wake
up to the situation some day and not
be willing to pay the price. The last
man who has paid the high price may
be left without a buyer and ind that
he has lost large share Of his in
vestment.
The solution Of this problem is for
the farmers to quit paying more than
the land is worth for farming pur-
poses. In case they cannot buy it for
this price, they had better rent land.
Land rents are very low in comparison
to the market price or land. Land
held for SITS will often rent for
about sc per acre. While it is much
cheaper to rent than to buy land, the
taking of land on a lease has it's prob
lens also, but in older countries these
problems have been worked out on
the basis of compensation for unex-
hausted improvements made by the
tenant, in case the tenant is asked to
leave the farm. 1t is better to own
land than to be a tenant farmer if
one does not have to pay toe much
for the pf1vilege.-H. C. TAYLOR, Col
lege Of Agriculture.

Cottonseed Flour.

It has recently been discovered that
flour made from cottonseed is valu-
able food for general consumption, and
an inexpensive substitute for meat. 1t
is remarkably high in protein, which
is the nutrient or flesh-producing sub
stance in meat, and is readily digested
by the gastric juices. 1t is also said
to be quite palatable and satisfying.
Cottonseed flour is made from the
kernel of the seed after the oil has
been pressed from it. It is highly
concentrated food and is il no way
intended to replace wheat -four or 9th
err cereals, and cannot safely be SO
used, because an excess of protein is
probably as damaging to the human
system as a lack of it. It is supposed
to be mixed with three or four parts
of wheat flour and made into bread.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH

| ONG-TERM LOANS
BOON TO FARMERS

That the long-term farm loan, COM
mon in European countries, might
prove a great boon to rural life, is
the conclusion reached by H. G. Tay-
Tor Of the University Of Wisconsin.
AS the owner and operator of a
dairy farm and as a close student OF
ather countries he has had an oppor-
tunity not only to see the needs Of
farm life, but also to know how these,
at times, have been answered.
He believes that the American farm
er is in too great rush to get out
Of debt and has found that, too often,
this is the central ambition of the farm
household.
Everyone overworks and becomes
more or less irritable The true home
spirit is driven from the flreside by
the presence of the mortgage.
Every member of the family hopes
for some future day when the head
Of the family will come home with the
mortgage in his pocket. After supper
he will display the document for
which all have so painfully labored
for several years. At the suggestion
Of the good wife the mortgage will be
burned in the kitchen stove.
''Then the main aim of the house
hold will have been attained and the
common bond gone-the occasion of
strenuous labor will be over.
Anyone OF three things may hap
pen: Seeing the need Of another fam
lily bond the husband and father may
buy another eighty acres adjoining
the farm and in this event the old
grind mill will continue Feeling the
need of education for the children and
something else she knows not what,
the good mother may prevail in her
desire to move to town, and new trou-
bles will lie in their pathway.
IF, perchance, the home spirit has
not been smothered in the days of
debt-paying, it may arise when the
ashes Of the mortgage crumble and
give a new life to all the inmates Of
the house; it may. in fact, convert it
into a home where life is counted
more important than the material
basis of production. The new spirit
leads, where the old spirit drove, the
toilers to the field More to be desired
is one such home than all the nations
farms
Let, then, the nation cast the mort
gage canker from the heart Of the
home. Let haste to be out of debt be
replaced by the calm spirit Of mutual
helpfulness, where life is put above
the means of living.
The mortgage bank with long-term
loans, fair interest rates and very
gradual payment of the principal will
do much to relax the tenacious hold
which the -out-of-debt-quickly spirit
has upon us, and give opportunity for
the growth of true home spirit in ev-
cry farmhouse, and spirit of help
fulness and joyous life in every rural
community.
THE true aim of our endeavor is
life-not corn, not hogs, not more
land"
