has retired and moved into town to
loaf he wonders why he ever did it.
Actually, he did it because he didn't
know better. 1t was the regular thing
to do. He was invited to do it. All the
neighbors retired and moved to town
when the children had gone away, and
neither his W imagination nor any
body else's had worked out a broader
scheme of existence for Mother and
himself.
But now the retired farmer is going
in for self-improvement. If he has
made the mistake of moving into town
and doing nothing, he finds something
to do.
And the farmer who retires nova
days is apt to work out a better way
of doing it than ten years ago. When
he leases the farm to a tenant he re-
serves five or ten acres of land for him.
self, and on it builds the modern house
he would have built had he moved to
town. and in that house Mother and
himself live, comfortably and econ
omically. Perhaps while he was busy
with general farming he always had a
leaning toward bees, or berries, or
wanted to find time to build up a good
LAYING strain of chickens. This am
bition now furnishes him an occupa-
ton. He has time for it. There is no
limit to the interest of such a specially.
It is real mans work. 1t brings him
money. for he can sell the product, and
also glory, for he can compete for
prizes and teach other people his meth
DDS. He is living on his W land, and
can see that both buildings and soil
are kept up to his own standards. In
stead of cutting all the old neigh OF
hood ties, he maintains them, and
works to uphold community standards.
He has an automobile, and if there is
ANYTHING that he or Mother want to
see within twenty-five or fifty miles,
they do not miss it. When he goes to
town everybody is glad to see him, be-
cause he is the right sort of retired
farmer. 1t will never be necessary to
unscramble him, because he has had
too much to get scrambled.

The Farms Deteriorate

nC TdiUIS oCtC' ~
Back in the country, the old place is
gradually falling out of repair. The
process is plainly seen in buildings,
and the country church and school. But
an invisible process of decay is also
going on, for the soil is being robbed
by tenants who fail to put back humus
and fertility. The tenant system is
held to be mainly responsible for de
creased yields in some of our richest
farming states, and it comes just at a
period when soil conservation has de-
veloped as a serious problem, calling
for better farming methods. The man
who owns land can confidently make
his soil his savings bank, blowing un-
der green crops, applying lime, and
buying fertilizer, because he knows
that he will draw out these longtime
deposits in increased crops five and
ten years hence. But the tenant has no
such incentive for making deposits at
interest in rented soil, and tenant

Interests to be Enlisted
The country schools must be reor-
ganized, so that farm children can en-
joy as good an education as town chill

once more made a spiritual and social
center to hold people together. The
man who tills the soil must be given

will not be depleted and he will make
a profit. There must be better roads,
so country people can get around more
freely and haul their stun to market.

jority of men do well except satisfy
the three animal appetites. If only a
ligiOus success, we must remember
that only about five per cent succeed
in business, and less than that in in
telligent initiative. Moreover, we have
a great public school system in this
country with millions of students. How
many from the habit of study? How
many are still students ten years after
their graduation? Are schools there
fore a failure?
Again a good many people go to the
opera merely for show. So %undoubted-
ly do they go to church. But if, On the
edge of that fashionable throng, there
is one poor little music teacher with
the divine gift, the artist has not sung
in vain; and just SO if there be n
poor publican on the back pew of a
fashionable church, the worship has
not all been CHASTITY.
OF all the stupid arguments against
religion, the most stupid is that so
many religious people are hypocrites.
So are many business men cheats, and
college professors ignoramuses and
married men brutes, and statesmen
grafters, and so on. Unfortunately it
is the same man in the pew whom you
run up against in the street. Frauds
are there to test your manhood and
your ability to be a gentleman or a
Christian; no san person should ever
really expect to find frauds missing
in any walk of life.
1t is so much easier to make a
chrome than paint a picture, and to
play ragtime than a symphony. That
is why so many are satisfied with
chromos and ragtime. Religion is I'M
doubtedly a gold mine, but there are
few nuggets lying on the surface, and
it is mighty hard to dig. Let us, there
fore, make no mistake. Do not con
fuse the fact that you believe there is
a God with the fact that you are prac-
ticing that belief.

FARMERS OUT OF A JOB

Below the Register publishes an ar
ticle from the pen of James H. Collins
in the February number of McClure's..
1t is an article full of human interest
treating of a class of men to be found
in every community, the retired farm
ers. There Is so much truth and sus-
gestion FOR a way out of the trouble in
it that it is worth while to give it
space. The back to the farm" move
ment is becoming stronger as men
study the agricultural problems and
its effects on society and life itself.
The following article touches some OF
the interesting phases of this subject:
An everyday question rose In the
lumber business. The publisher OF a
lumber trade journal set out to find
the answer. It seemed like a simple
question-just one of the many queries
growing out Of this rather difficult in
dustry'in the recent times. The pub
Usher said: "This calls for a little
irst-hand investigation" And he went
to work.
That was moro than ave years ago.
He is working on the answer yet!

lumber merchants In country towns to
ana out why they were selling less

many dead; then let it grow for a few DAYS
on top OF the glass and see if the sprouts will
grow two inches long before they wither.
This is important this year, because wheat
is badly shriveled and contains little plant
food. Take no chances on your seed wheat.
If the seed you nave is all right you are
fortunate. If it does not test 80 to $50
strong you are in danger; find some neigh
Dor, if you can, who has good wheat enough
to supply seed for you and sell the SEED that
you intended to SOW. Ask your County
Agricultural Agent or the Agricultural
Teacher in your High School to help you
locate MARQUIS seed in your n~eighbor-
hood, or ask your seed man to get it for
you, but be sure he honestly tells you where
it is grown. Do not get it too far away from
home. If the seed man cannot supply you
to your satisfaction, apply to your mill or
elevator. All of them have agreed in this
territory to locate proper seed wheat for
their customers. If they cannot supply YOU
write to Prof. Manley Champlin, State Ex-
pertinent Station, Brookings, s. D., or

Improvement Association. St. Anthony

If you have any good Marquis wheat to
sell advise your mill or elevator.

like m%ail-order competition. Careful
estimates showed, however, that not
nearly so much building material was
being used in the country round the
town. A new state of affairs existed
plainly seen in the ate of farm prop
erty. When the farmer lived on his
own farm he took pride in the appear.
ance of his buildings and fences. If a
board worked loose, or paint wore of,
he made repairs. But now, with a
countryside worked by tenants, and
himself in town, he saw the old place
only two or three times a year. When
a board came off it stayed off. The
tenant had no financial interest in
replacing it, the owner made no allow
ance for painting or repairs. Bit by
bit the countryside became shabby,
then disrepuatble, and in spots, decay
ed, and settled into a country slum
which is about the worst kind of a
slum.
In town, the retired farmer quickly
developed as an influence against pro-
gress. For a year or SO after his ar
rival, while he was building and fitting
up a new home, his expenditures
would be liberal. But once he got set
tied, and woke up to ONE of the real
tiles of town life, such as increased
cost of living. he became a conserva-
tive. AS a taxpayer, he took a stand
against any public Improvement that
involved an assessment, and in many
communities his vote was sufficient to
kill progressive measures.
Most startling of all, perhaps, is the
change that takes place in the retired
farmer himself, and in his wife. For
he rapidly goes to seed, while mis- help
mate develops a broader life. An Iowa
physician who has kept records for
twenty years says that the average life
of a farmer after he retires and moves
to town is less than four years. He

happy. He loafs, becomes discomfort
ed and miserable, frets and rusts out,
and eventually passes into the Great
Beyond, in obedience to the law of
averages. His wife, however, still has
her household work to keep her oc-
cupied, and in addition enjoys more So
ciety and entertainment. She spruces
up, goes in for self-improvement, and
takes a new hold on life. When the
husband dies she stays behind. In one
of the Corn Belt towns there is a long
street of prosperous homes built by
retired farmers where this process of
elimination has worked out so com
pletely that it is now known popular
ly as Merry Widows Row"
One of the disQuieting features of
our agricultural life the past genera
ton has been the growth of tenant
farming. In the United States as I
whole thirty-seven per cent of the
farms are now worked by tenants. The
number of tenant farms is increasing
twice as fast as the number of those
worked by owners. Through the Corn
Belt one farm in three is now worked
by tenants. That is not so high a pro-
portion as is found in the South, but it
is high for the Corn Belt-some people
think too high. For tenant farming is
an old institution in the South, and
the farms small and poor, while
through the Corn Belt it is compare
lively new, and the farms are of a
very different character, because this
is held to be our most important farm
ing section.

MARQUIS w

Is the variety which has the best
milling qualities and makes more
and better flour, therefore brings
the highest price to the farmers.
The elevators and mills will pay you
more because the wheat is worth
more. AS a rule, unless we have
just such a year as last year, MAR
QUIS brings better results because:
1t natures from five to ten days
earlier than other wheat, avoiding
so much danger from winds and
drouth. We may never have an
other year like last year.

Being earlier, Marquis escapes rust,
which attacks later varieties.
1t does not shell out and waste so
badly as Blue Stem, Red Fife, or
Velvet Chaff, during harvest. This
is true of it even when over-ripe.
The straw is shorter and sitter,
hence in a dry year it suffers less
from drouth and in a wet year it
suffers less from lodging.
1t contains lots of gluten and the
gluten is much superior to that of
any other wheat, therefore is a bet
ter milling wheat.
