AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

There Is nothing SO universal in its ap-
plicatlon as arithmetic. As the constant
ly narrowing margin of profit and the
elimination of monopoly in all fields ut
industrial activity make efficiency become
necessary in order to survive in the eco
nomic struggle, just necessary be-
lomes the use of arithmetic
In discussing the cost of production Of
milk Professor J, B. Lindsey of Msssa-
chusetts experiment station, after study
ing the results of an experiment. e cover
ing IS years, writes as follows in answer
to the question why has the producer
of milk received so low price2"
1T is the belief Of the writer that in
the past great deal of milk has been
made and sold for less than the cost of
production. In making an attempt to
gain temporary livelihood from dairy
ing, many have sacrificed the fertility
of their farms, employed the most pqim
tive methods Of housing and caring for
the dairy stock, while the family have
cared for the milk and dairy utensils
without credit The dairyman has for
gotten or neglected to estimate his time
at = fair value and to take. into consid-
GRAFTON the cost and depreciation of barn
tools, dairy utensils, and such pcrishable
foods and supplies as brushes. salt, soap,
ice, bedding, bull service, veterinary ser
vices and the like, all Of which are abso-
lutely necessary. In other words, the
keeping Of accurate accounts and the ap-
plication of the ordinary business meth
ods have been too often neglected Such
methods on the part of the produces as
against the organized business method
of the contractor have resulted in a
measure at least in the establishing Of
relatively low wholesale and retail pri-
ces.
There are several explanations to be
made as to why the farmers neglected 70
estimate time, cost and depreciation.
Some had no time, others thought that
eating. slcp and physical abor were fam
ing, all else irrelevant and "high falu
tin notions of educators" But the times
have changed, as witness the oraaniza-
ton of farmers and the milk strikes. All
want more money because cows are not
paying their board. This is known only
in a general way through the discovery
of the scales and Babcock test.
The time for the arrival of farm ac-
countings has long passed, and today there
is no definite system Of farm accounting
known which the average farmer can
use. It is an opportunity for the aRricul
tural colleges to work out system. Min
nesota has made a strong start.
Farm accountings should begin in the
country school. The use of the Babcock
test, profit, loss and interest should be
taught there and later, on the university
campus, markets and marketing, appraisal
of values Of stock, crops and land, also
q farm accounting system, should be
taught.
Not until the farmer can use arithmetic
involved and simple, will he be able 20
known his profits and loss, or how to
meet the consumer at the market. And
he will not leam these things as long a.
he sends his sons to college to learn only
to plant, cultivate and harvest. Agri-
cultural colleges teach agriculture when
they teach bookkeeping.-Kimballs Daily

Last Monday, Nov. 13, a me-
mortal regarding Polish Relief
Was presented to the President at
Shadow Lawn by Rev. Charles 5.
Macfarland, General Secretary of
the Federal Council Of the Church
es of Christ in America, and Mr..
Ignace j. Paterewski.
The memorial which has been
signed by representatives Of the

The President of the United
States Executive Offices, AS
bury Park, New Jersey.
Sir-Your petitioners learn,
with deep regret, that satisfac-
tory arrangements have not yet
been secured with the European
powers, whereby the people Of
America may render. out Of their
abundance, adequate assistance to
the suffering peoples in Poland.
We express our grateful rec
oeniti0n Of the earnest appeal
which you made in behalf Of our
brothers and sisters in this de-
vastated region. as well as your
recent efforts to open the doors
for the fullest relief for these in
nocen- sufferers.
Wh...e the appalling need of
these rcople is so great. we believe
'N"t he relief rs yet offered ly
the 4 'nerican people has been
sadly ;ncommensurate, in part be-
cause # the difficulty in convey
ing help.
While it is possible now for the
American people to transmit mon
ey. we believe that gifts would be
incomparablv increased bv this
means as well as by others, if the
opportunity for rendering all
kinds Of assistance were made pos
sihle.
The American people honor the
memory Of Koscuiszko, Pulaski,
and other names which are dear
to our hearts, and all that we can
do is but the paying Of a debt
which we owe rather than an ex-
preston Of philanthropy. We,
therefore, desire the fullest oppor-
tunity for rendering this just re-
compense to people whose his
tory is one Of brave suffering.
We believe that we express the
feelings and utter the voice Of the
great bodies of American people
with which we are connected, and
of all the people, in urging that in

The war is still on in Europe,
but the price of sugar, while the
Louisiana producers have it, still
goes down. This is a fair sample
of the "purer the sugar the high
er the tariff" on consequence the
impure sugars, the raw sugars,
are being imported from the Is
lands to compete against the local
product so the trust can purchase
at it's own price. If the tariff were
twenty cents on each pound of

be same for the local producers.

WHERE THE FOOD GOES.

Federal authorities in Chicago,
in spite Of their blindness, are
coming to realize that there is a
conspiracy among produce men
and wholesale dealers to jugglc
the cost Of food.
Information that dealers had
bought and paid for farm produce
and then allowed it to rot in the
fields was obtained thru investiga-
tors from farmers.
One farmer-B. j.. Brundage,
Lying near Gary. 1nd.-is said to
have reported that after an al
legged produce man had bought
his entire crop Of pumpkins, and
paid for it, the crop was allowed
to rot. Brundagc. it was asserted
bv District Attorney Clyne's in
formant, made inquiries when no
effort was made to collect the
crop. and discovered that the
buver had given a fictitious name
and address.
The names Of dozens Of other
farmers in Indiana and Illinois,
who, it is asserted. have seen their
crops rot in the fields after they
had been BOUGHT and Maid for by
the produce dealers, are said to be
in the hands Of the federal au-
thorities.
Another report that reached
Mr.. Clync was that twenty eight
carloads Of potatoes had been
dumped into the river at Peoria.
Government officials also were
told that large quantities of beans
arc being held in Norfold. w. Va,
Philade!rhia and Saginaw. Mich,
both in bulk and in cans. The
storing Of this commodity, it is
said. has increased the cost Of drv
beans 40 per cent and canned
beans GO per cent in the last half
year.

ATTORNEY GENERAL UP
HOLDS SUNDAY HEARINGS
Automobile Commissioner Asks For
Opinion Following Police Justice
James Decision That He Could
Not Hold Sunday Hearings.

State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
E. Austin Baughman is in receipt OF
an opinion from Attorney General
Albert G. Richie, declaring that per-
sons arrested for violation of speed
and of other automobile laws are en-
titled to a hearing on Sunday. The
ruling is based on the fact that all
accused persons have a right to de-
mand a prompt hearing, and was
given as the result of the declina-
ton of Police Justice George w.
James, of this city, to hold hearings
on Sunday.
Representative of the State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner were in Cam
bridge last Saturday night and Sun
day and made about 25 arrests for
various violations of the State Motor
Vehicle Law. Some of the causes
leading to arrest were failure to
display tail light, failure to properly
display license numbers, failure to
have licenses for running machines,
improper front lights, etc. A num-
Der of the cases were dismissed with
the fine of 81 and costs, others We're
dismissed with costs, While still olh-
ers have not been tried.
The State Automobile Commits
sioner is taking the position that
those who claim that they should be
| left off on account of the trivialness
of the charges, in the event OF acct
dents, would be the first to allege
that lack of lights, etc, were the
causes, if the other fellow was re-
sponsible; that no license numbers
were displayed, etc, and that it is alb
solutely essential, if the Motor We
hicle Department is to be of any ad-
vantage to the State, and means OF
protection for the public, that the
magistrates and authorities assist in
UNFOLDING the laws.
1t is believed that the Commits
sioner will send additional men to
Cambridge very shortly to investi-
gate the situation and to arrest
those they find not complying with
the laws. He has announced his in
tention of being no respecter OF per
sons, but that for the safety of the
public he will enforce the laws all
| over the State.

CHANGE COLOR SCHEME
Pennsylvania Will Change Signals
Both East And West of Pittsburg.

A complete change In the color
scheme of signal indications will be
made on the entire Pennsylvania
Railroad System, both east and west
of Pittsburgh, as soon as the neces-
sary materials can be obtained. Ord
ers for the required material are
now being placed.
White lights are to be eliminated
as a signal indication. Green will re-
place white for clear" or proceed"
while a bright, distinctive yellow, Wis
sible at great distances, will be used
for caution" Red will continue to
mean STOP"
The elimination Of white from the
signal color scheme has been render
ed desirable by the increasing use of
white lights of various kinds in
streets close or adjacent to the rail-
roads right-of-way.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Sys-
tenn. however, was unwilling to pro-
coed with the change until yellow
glass could be obtained for the eau
ton" signals which would give
bright light at long distances and
still would not be liable to be mis-
with other flights along the. line OF
..ss.SL-Ea-A2 a. o5fcsd the art -U1
coloring glass, after years of expert
ments, has resulted in the production
of such glass.
Adoption of the new signal system
will mean the changing of hundreds
of thousands of colored glasses and
lenses. This will require consider
able time for completion, especially
as slow deliveries are to be expected,
owing to industrial conditions re-
sulting from the European War.
Not only will alterations have to be
made in all of the semaphore signals,
but the following devices will also be
affected:
Marker lights on the rear of pas
senger and freight trains; switch
lamps and targets; markers for track
tanks; "slow" signs; resume speed"
signs; hand lamps at interlocking
and block signal stations, and lights
displayed to the public at crossing
gates. Lights for the latter purpose
will be red instead of green, as at
present.
The proposed signal system has
been tried out on the extreme east
ern end of the New York Division
and has been found to work satisfac-
torily. 1t is also being adopted in
portions of the country off the Penn
sylvania Railroad lines, so that de-
sirable uniformity will be obtained.
No change is to be made on those
short portions of the Pennsylvania
Railroad lines which are protected
by position light signals, in which
the various indications are given by
rows of electric lights showing
against a black background in the
various positions of the semaphore
arms.

Railroad Advises
Heath Certificates

AS q measure of cooperation with
the Health Authorities in checking
the spread of infantile paralysis, no
tees are being posted today in all
stations, waiting rooms and other
public places on the Pennsylvania
lines east of Pittsburgh and Erie call
ing attention to the necessity of
complying with the quarantine regu-
lations. Warning is given of the
annoyance that may result from at
tempting to transport children from
proper health certificates.
The notice reads as follows:
ION account of the prevalence of
infantile paralysis additional quaran-
tines are being established daily and
quarantine officers will stop all chill
dren under sixteen years OF age not
provided with health certificates. 1t
is recommended that certificates be
procured from the proper Health Or
ticers, for all children under sixteen
years OF age, before buying transport
tatlon to any point. Compliance
with this recommendation will save
great inconvenience and delay.
