Cattle and Corn-A Good Combination
in Profitable Farming.

ucts, and a comparatively small per-
centage of the income from the sale
OF crops, because for the most part the
crops are sold to better advantage by
feeding them to live stock. The types
of farming and the general conditions
which prevail in this section make the
size of farm very important factor
bearing on the income, according to
the bulletin. There is also a direct re-
lation between the amount of capital
invested and the labor income of the
operator. Generally speaking, the
larger the farm and the greater the in
vestment, the greater the percentage
or rate of income. as
The cropping system and the proper
distribution of crop area, it was
learned, were important factors in
profitable farm management. On the
more profitable farms studied in this
territory, from 80 to 50 per cent of the
total crop area was in corn, an average
of 10 per cent in oats, an average of
80 per cent in wheat, from 1 to 10 per
cent in barley, and from 20 to 30 per
cent in hay. ~
AS a result of the study it was found
that the following rotation is well
adapted to conditions in this area !:
First year, corn; second year, corn !;
third year. oats and barley; fourth
year. wheat, and the fifth. year, hay.
Alfalfa is a valuable addition to the
average cropping system and: the bull
letin suggests an Increase in the acre
age of this crop throughout the region.

FAVORED FARMERS

The New York World explodes with
wrath at what it considers the imper-
thence and inconsistency of a big
farmers organization complaining be-
cause the new war revenue bill fails
to confiscate all incomes in excess of
$4,000. The fact is, says the World,
that the farmers themselves have long
been, and are now. the most favored
class in America in the matter of tax
alton. and are not paying anywhere
near their share of the war burden.
The income tax returns for the fiscal
year 1916 show that not one farmer in
400 paid cent of income tax, despite
agricultural war profits. Last year
large numbers of farmers came into
the income-tax class for the first time.
This year there will be more. Still.
the world argues, as class they are
benefited by undeserved exemptions,
while most of those who are properly
liable to the income tax succeed in
evading It. This, too, on top of the
fact that the farmers have been spe-
cially favored by having liberal prices
guaranteed for their products.
Perhaps this is bit unjust to the
farmers. They have certainly played
their part admirably in producing the
food the country required, and nobody
need grudge them the incidental
profits they have made. The time is
rapidly approaching. however, when
the farmers will be held to stricter
account as regards their share of the
nations war sacrifice Living in glass
houses. as large numbers of them are
at present, they had better be careful
how they throw stones.

of pleasure cars, that he is making
no cars or trucks OF any kind except
for the use of the government. and all
his company's resources are being de-
voted TO the manufacture of war ma
teral and equipment. This policy is to
be pursued as long as hositilities last.
Among his numerous war products
are Eagle" boats. of which he expects
soon to be turning out two every three
days; Liberty Motors for airplanes, Of
which his Detroit plant completed
500 in August; gun caissons by the
thousand. and dies for all the ma
chimes that stamp out soldiers tin
hats"
There are 5000 for we're all in the
game" Which sounds like very ex-
cellent pacifism, from a man who rep
resents in an extreme and picturesque
way what our big business institutions
are doing all over the country.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADS
URGED TO TEACH

ION the character and ability of
the teachers everything depends"
says DR.. p. P. Claxton, U. S. Com
missioner of Education, in urging
boys and girls to enter normal schools
and prepare for teaching this year.
Besides the thousands of men who
have been drafted or have volunteered
for service in the army, other thous
ands of men and many thousands of
women have quit the work of teach
ing for employment in industries,
commerce, civil service, and clerical
positions where they are paid better
than for teaching. AS the war con-
tinues and as the cost of living in
creases, and the demand for services
of the kind teachers can render grows
larger, the numbers of teachers leav-
ing the schools for other employment
will become still greater and this
tendency is likely to continue long
after the war is over unless the sal
aries of teachers should be increased
far beyond the present average. How
are their places to be filed? BY
trained or by unframed teachers?
Unless the attendance at the nor
NAL schools and in departments of
education in colleges and universities
is much increased, most of these
places must be filled by men and wo-
men without professional knowledge
and without special training for their
work. In this case the character of
the schools will inevitably deterior-
ate and the time of the children and
the money appropriated for education
will be to a large extent wasted. 1t
is, therefore, very important that for
next year and for many years to come
there should be more students in
these schools for the preparation of
teachers than there have ever been.
Thousands of boys and girls who have
finished their high school work might
and should render their country a
high. type of patriotic service by en-
tering these schools next fall, win
ter, or spring to prepare themselves
for the work of teaching in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools"

YOUNGSTERS IN WAR

Answering the argument that lads
of is, 10 and 20 are too young for war,
a student of history represents an inn
pressiye list of heroes who won glory
before they were of age. There was
George Washington. for instance, who
was captain of an artillery company
at 49, There was Captain James Law
renee. of Don't give up the ship"
fame. who entered the navy at the age
of 16. David Farragut is said to have
been an ensign at twelve.
Lord Kitchener, the creator of the
modern British army, saw active serv-
ice before he was 90 The Duke of
Wellington was an ensign at is. Ma
poleon was lieutenant at IL Mar
shall Ney was a cavalryman at Is.
Alexander the Great won his first bat
tie when he was Is. The list might
be extended almost indefinitely.
Give these young fellows a chance.
Boys are probably just as good men
now as they ever we're.

FUEL SUGGESTIONS

The fuel problem Is a comparative
ly simple matter says Peter Witt, for
mer associate OF Tom l.. Johnson and
former traction commissioner of Cieve-
land. II he we're In charge of the fuel
administration. he says, he would do
these things:
Make autoless Sunday apply west of
the Mississippi as well as east of It,,
thereby saving not only the gasoline
but the coal necessary to haul 5000
tank cars.
Restrict travellers baggage to what
they can carry in their suit cases,
thereby eliminating baggage cars and
coal and man power to handle them.
Keep schools open for six hours a
day, but close all school buildings in
December and January, saving many
hundred thousand tons year.
Open retail stores at $50 a. m. and
close them at p. m, except on Sat
urdays. when they might keep open
till 10 p. m.
Keep Office buildings open only from
a. m. to p m.
Close all clubs and saloons at 10
p. m.
Keep the temperature of houses and
public buildings down to IS degrees.
These changes are not only feast
BILE, he insists, but they require no real
sacrifice on the part of anybody. They
merely involve sensible re-adjust-
ment in our way of doing business.
II looks. off-hand, like pretty am
bilious program. Some of these very
ideas, however, are being introduced
in some cities. and all of them are
worth thinking about
