be glad to forward same to you.

Migration DareiiCiS

An exchange notes that a tramp
turned up the other night at the
city police station. who was making
his 30th annual migration toward
the North. This substantial citizen
of Hoboland is regular and methodi
cal. Every fall he seeks the COM
forts of the Sunny South. With the
returning sun, he is back in the
populous centers of the North. He
is a typical of a great grey caravan

he would rather suffer severe pain
than work. There are many OF
his type.
Yet the rovers have to work in
their own way Not always is there
a convenient freight train Many
a dusty mile must be traversed by
their tired legs. Many farm houses
keep big dogs for this particular
purpose. Not all housewives are

available. Many a weary night
must be spent upon the hard ground
No reasonable man can possibly
feel that he has gained anything BY
the freedom of such life

Seed Testing Laboratory.

Missouri farmers have been losing
many thousands of dollars every
year by using seed of poor quality.
These losses have occurred mainly
because the farmers have not known
how to find out whether the seed
they bought was good or bad. The
University Of Missouri College of
Agriculture, cooperating with the
Uuited States Department of Agri,
culture. maintains a laboratory for
the purpose of testing farm seeds
This laboratory is equipped for
rapid and accurate tests Of seeds
for purity and termination. and the
work is done free of charge.
Purity tests can be made and re
ports returned almost Immediately
The termination tests require six
days or longer, depending upon the
variety of seeds tested. 1t is posi-
bic. however. with most kinds of
seeds, for the farmer to secure
samples from seedsmen, send them
to Columbia for test, and then buy
on the results of the examination
A half-teacupful Of small seed, such
as clover and grass seeds. is suf-
ficient, provided it is fair sample
of the bulk from which it is taken.
For larger seed, such as the grains.
a pint should be sent. All seed
should be sent by mail With the
name and address of the sender
marked on the package. and a let
ter should accompany the sample
stating whether the sample is to be
tested for purity, for termination.

The ends of community progress
do not seem as sensational and
thrilling az winning war. But in
the long run they are just as neces-
sary. Here are a few of these ideals
which every American town should
have directly in view as things to
work for:
Better education. and longer
periods of schooling for all children.
Education that shall help children

Better road systems in the sur

These five ideals are merely sug-

many others. All of these and
others are possible every where. il

must be answered by the Peace Con-
ference. For one thing, as already
indicated, half of the thirteen or
fourteen million of Jews dwell in
that ast-European zone which was
swept by war a dozen times and
now is ravaged yet again by those
lesser wars which are not lesser in
their hurt to their victims. The
Conference may not adjourn with
out taking into account and firmly
graphing with the difficulties of an
unlocalized Balkan problem, the
Jewish question Some there are
at the Peace Conference who are
utilizing the fact of the Bolshevist
terror in order to excite the wrath
of Europe assembled in Paris against
the Jews and thus to avert solu-
ton just and equitable of the Jew
ish question. But statesmen at
Paris worthy of the name under
stand that Bolshevism is not a Jew
ish phenomenon but a Russian
symptom of European unrest, and
that, though a handful of Jewish
renegades led by Trotzky are among
the leaders in Bo1shevist counsel,
the great mass of Russian Jews are
the bitter and imp1acable foes Of
Bolshevism, even as they were great
hearted and gloriously forgiving in
their loyalty to the Russia which
had long scourged them.
AS far as I could gather from the
general temper of the Peace Con-
ference and learn from it's leading
personalities, English, French and
American, there is general resolve
to do what in the Conference lies
to bring order out of the Jewish
chaos and, better yet, to make it
possible for Jews everywhere and
under all circumstances to recorder
Jewish affairs.
There is nothing mil1enial in the
temper of the Conference which
moves it to deal justly by the Jew.

heaviest share of the burden of

American Jew. 1t is good that the
American Jew is able and ready to
bear the burden, as result of the
growth not only of the Jewish COM
munity in American life but of it's
deepening consciousness of respon-
sibility for the Jewish status the
world over American Israel has
risen to the high occasion which

Last of all, and yet perhaps most
important of all, among the happily
furthering circumstances of the Jew
in relation to the Peace Conference
is the truth that the most potent
Jewish community in the world to-
day is part of that nation which
is become most potent in world
councils and most eager to inauger-
ate the era of reparation to the Jew
in the only form in which the Jew
demands reparation for centuries of
wrong and hurt by him endured
namely, justice. 1t is little less than
miraculous conjuncture of events
that in part because of it's finely
loyal and passionately devoted Jew
ish population the American people
is bent as no nation has ever before
been bent upon writing into the code

and status of justice, even-handed
and changeless, to the Jew.

of 1873 in that no such dazzlingly

PLAN FOR BETTER DAIRYING
Joint Ownership of Purebred Sires
Enables Herd Improvement at
Minimum Expense.

Dairymen who would like to use
purebred bulls to improve their herds
hut who cannot afford to purchase
such animals should investigate the
advantages of a cooperative bull as
sociation. These organizations are
formed by farmers for the joint own
ership, use and exchange of purebred
bulls. The purchase price and cost of
maintenance are distributed according
TO the number of cows owned by each
member, thereby giving the dairyman
an opportunity to build up his herd
at q minimum expense. The organi-
cation also helps its members to mar
ket dairy stock and dairy products, to
fight contagious diseases of cattle in
diligently, and in other ways to assist
in improving the dairy industry.
The typical cooperative bull asso-
citation is composed of from fifteen to
thirty farmers, who Jointly own five
bulls. The territory in which these
farmers live Is divided into five
"breeding blocks" one bull being as
signed to each block. AS many as fifty
or sixty cows may belong TO the farm
ers in each block, and the bull in the
block should be kept on conveniently
located farm. To prevent inbreeding
each bull is moved to the next block
every two years. If all the bulls live,
and if all are kept until each has made
one complete circuit, no new bulls need
to be purchased for ten years. In this
way each member of the association
has the use of good purebred bulls for
many years, at cost of only small
part of the purchase price of one good
bull-usually less than is Invested in
u more inferior bill owned by indi-
vdual dairymen.
In a survey conducted by the United
States department of agriculture on
/ ,219 farms in eight districts in Iowa,
Minnesota and Massachusetts in which
there were no associations, it was
found that there were 817 bulls, hav-
ing an average value of $76. Had the
owners of these cheap bulls been prop
erly organized the same investment
would have purchased the necessary
bulls of an average value of $2S3. In
one association having more than 100
members the original cost of good
purebred bulls to each member was
only S23. When questioned regarding
the value of cooperative bull associa-
tons, $50 farmers in Maryland, Michi-
gan and Minnesota estimated that the

use of bulls belonging to the organiza-
ton increased the value Of the off
spring in the first generation from 30
to 50 per cent, with an average of 65
per cent.
The selection of the bulls for an as
ISOLATION is one of the most important
considerations A good purebred bull
will make rapid and marked improve
ment in the herds, and the association
interest increase in proportion to the
Improvement obtained. If poor dairy
bull is used the milk production of the
members herds is sometimes reduced,
the interest Is lessened, and these
conditions may lead to the breaking up
of the association. Success in the OPP
Grafton of an association depends a
great deal on the care that is used in
its organization. Dairymen contem-
plating forming an association should
consult the local county agent, write to
the state agricultural college or to the
dairy division of the United States de-
partment of agriculture at Washington
for advice and assistance. The farm
ers' bulletin previously mentioned will
be found of great value along this line,
particularly the suggestions which are
given in connection with the constitu-
ton and bylaws.
