MUCH DEPENDS ON
FARM PROSPERITY.

One of the chief factors in the sue
cess of the late James ]. Hill as the
builder of great railway system was
his active, personal interest in promot-
ing methods of farming and the breed
ing of better live stock in the territory
depending upon and supporting his
lines.
Years ago when it was much more
difficult than it is now to see that all
the great american industries were
interdependent it was clear to him that
in a new country the development and
success of a railroad were largely con-
ditioned by the thrift, industry and
prosperity Of farmers
Endowed with a wiu, vision and a
keen imagination, he saw that agricul-
ture and railway transportation were
intimately dependent upon each other.
This accounts for the distribution at
his own expense of purebred beef and
dairy bulls among stockmen in vari-
Gus regions of the northwest, and the
demonstrations of better tillage meth
DDS and chopping systems which he
had made for the benefit of farmers.
In recent years the officials of some
of the southern lines have to some ex-
tent adopted Mr.. Hills broad, con-
slructive policy in relation to agricul-
tue, realizing that the South, despite
its mineral wealth, could never achieve
permanently first class, prosperous
railroads until 1t grew to be agricul-
turally diversified, stable and prosper
Gus.
Several Of the southern systems
have agricultural and livestock de-
partments, associated with their ad-
ministrative offices, which are investi-
eating conditions, offering advice
through letters and bulletins, assisting
farmers In improving their soils, or
ganizing loca! associations and intro
ducing at their own expense purebred
bulls In districts where the conditions
are favorable to the production of beef
and milk.
To farmers who may resent this
kind Of work on the part of railroads,
regarding it as outside their legitimate
province, 1t should be clear, upon re-
Election, that their interests and those
of the railways in their midst are GO
ing to prosper or decline together.-D,

Although the days are fast passing
when farmers viii allow smooth

the privilege of spreading several gal

Recent campaigns in the interests
of landscape art have done much to

If one must use wall space to adver-I

name and purpose of the farm. In
these days of special names for farms,
such plan works well, providing the
letters are done in single, pure, con-.
trasting colors, and are not made too
large.
The farmer has a right to put up
his business sign board as well as the
banker or business man in town, but
the more conservative and modest III
is, the better and more effective will
its message strike the reader on the

films pass before the censorship board
annually. About ten per cent of these
films are rejected entirely and a great
part Of the remaining is revised by

1t might be concluded that this rigid

to the film and moving picture bust

not sem to be the case. New and WELL

And this demon seems TO come oftener
and oftener. During the years 1900
1911 the church was altered and put
in fine shape in every particular. In
1912 it was destroyed by fire. A large
building was then put up at a cost of
$4,000, but this was burnt down even
before the interior fixtures were fin
ished. Now the congregation has
asked for permission to take up col
lections in all churches in the country
to help put up the fifth church build
ing in the course of a century, and the
archbishop has recommended this plan.

The other day there came a petition
before the Swedish rigsdag that was
very interesting and significant. The
petitioners, who are farmers in the
district of Skaraborg, Vestergotland,
prayed that the government would ex-
tend as rapidly as possible the cleo
tric cables from the Trollhattan sta
ton and make the energy available for
all farmers in the district. In order
that farmers of less means should also
be able to have electricity for nipple
ments and other machines on the farm,
the farmers asked that the rigsdag
create a fund out of which loans rum
ming for 90 years at from to per
cent interest could be secured, the
loans TO be used to build lines to the
separate farms and to secure motors
and machinery. The farmers justified
their petition by reasons that prove
them to be remarkably enterprising
and fOresighted.

Selehei is the name of a rough
swampy portion of Jaderen. 1t was
supposed to be absolutely worthless
for agricultural purposes. But a
couple Of courageous young men took
samples of the soil to the experimental
station at Bergen, and received the
answer that the stuff was not so bad
as its reputation. With the answer
came instructions for manuring and
working the ground. Now the young
men decided to spend $1,000 on this
forbidding piece of ground. They or
dered breaking pillow from America,
hitched five horses to it and started
blowing. The farmers of the neigh
borhood shook their heads, but the
way that pillow cut its passage through
the country was d sight. In the mid
die Of the tract of land was a six
acre lake. This was diverted to the sea
by means of a big ditch. Water seemed
to be oozing out of the ground all
over, and a system Of bitches had to
be dug. When this was done the
ground was left alone for one year to
be aired and dried. Sixty-five acres
were put to small grain, and the crop
was agnificent-'grain as heavy as
lead" to use the expression of our au-
thority. 1t was city man, Consul
Bjelland of Stavanger who advised
the young men to try this experiment.
Now the farmers of the neighborhood
have changed their minds about new
tangled ideas in farming.
The Drammen steamer Willy saved
a German marine soldier on its way
from England to Drammen. He was
found on a raft all alone. He told
that he had belonged to the German
cruiser Wiesbaden, which was sunk in
the great Skagerrak battle. The crew
consisted of 500 men. He-Zenna was
his name-and four others crept
on a raft. For two days and nights
they had nothing to eat or drink.
Then the others could stand it no long
err, and drank sea water. This made
them insane, and they threw them
selves into the sea. Thus he was left
alone. His feet were so swollen that
he could not stand up, and he could
not have lived many more hours If he
had been left on the raft. The Willy
turned Zenna over to a Norwegian tor
pedo boat at Farder, and now he must
be interned in Norway until the close
of the war. If he had gone with the
merchant steamer Willy to Drammen
he might have left for Germany with
out any further fuss.

SWEDEN.

Thanks to the indulgence of friendly
government officials and the co-opera-
ton of the British consulate In Stock
holm, the difficulties of continuing
trade with America under the new
Swedish war-trade act, temporarily, at
least, have been overcome. The new
law specifically prohibits anyone in
Sweden from entering into agreements
with foreign powers covering the dis
position of goods imported into this
country, and was ostensibly a retaiia-
tory act against the British blockade
in the North sea. In actual operation.
however, it was discovered quickly
that the law really favored England
and threatened to shut Off trade with
America. The principle behind these
conditions was that a belligerent ma
ton had perfect right to demand the
promise that no exported goods should
fall into the hands of an enemy coun-
try. Thus the commission has not hes
itated TO extend such promises to
Great Britain covering goods imported
by Sweden from English merchants.
But the Swedish government holds
that Great Britain has no right under
pretext of international law to demand
a guaranty from Sweden covering
goods imported from another neutral
country - particularly the United
States. Great Britain absolutely re-
fuses to let any goods pass into Swe-
den or any other Scandinavian coun-
try from the United States or any
other place, without this specific guar
anty. With the Swedish government
refusing TO give such guarantees IN
der the new act and Great Britain's
navy shutting off all imports not COW
cred by guarantees, trade with Amer
lea seemed In a bad way. After
studying the law in detail, however.
it has been decided it is elastic enough
TO permit temporarily a system of
evasion which works this way: Instead
of making an agreement with the Brit
ish government, the importer swears
TO the British form of guaranty be-
fore a Swedish notary public. He
then goes to the British consulate, and
there the signature of the Swedish no
tary is certified. Then the declaration
is sent to the agent of the shipping
line in London and he applies for the
import license from the British au-
thOrities.
