Hugh Price Limitation.
From the New York Times.

While it would be foolish to attempt to predict any sudden and
radical recession in prices, one may safely say that sooner or later there
will have to be some sort OF adjustment it business is to develop as it
should. There ne some things that people must have, and for which,
as long as their money lasts. they will pay whatever is asked rather
than do without. But these articles ne fewer than is sometimes sup
posed. On the contrary. there are many things which people would like
to have, but which they can readily enough do without unless the price
is right. Here is where the limitation OF high prices will be felt.
People have IN the last two years learned to do with less food, and
have found that they We're none the worse-bu nj rather the bener-for
it. There is much building that an wait if it is found to be too costly.
And so with repairing and painting. 1t would be a great pity were
there amy restriction on such activities. or indeed OH any other. For it
is highly important that labor be fully employed. This is a phase Of
the situation that ought to receive the careful consideration both of
those who pay the prices and those who exact them. The adjustment,
when it comes, will be automatic.
There is nothing that cam permanently interfere with the operation
of these influences. The government can do nothing, since it cannot
compel people to buy: The old and rather questionable law of supply
and demand, which, by the way, has never ceased to operate after a
fashion, will assert itself. This is a matter that is worth thinking
about. The outlook today is, on the whole. excellent. If men act wisely
and prudently there is nj reason why the most cheering prophecies
should not be fulfilled. A little moderation will be found to be a mighty
good investment.

R~e-clearing Seed Wheat.
Little or no work is being done

if properly famed and graded each
year when planted.
Sinking Smut.
Little or no attention has been given
to the treatment Of hunt or sinking
smut of winter wheat. All the com.
munity work which has been done
along that line has been confined tc
oats in the spring. We should have
police regulations and no man should
be allowed to SOW wheat this fall
which has not been treated for smut.
Our Smut Tax Amounts to Millions
OF Dollars.
b II the Government or the Kaise,
were to fine the farmers the millions
Of dollars lost in smut each year, OF
ii such a sum were taxed for the inn
provement of roads or schools, what a
row 1t would make! Smut imposes this
tax and we get no benefit from 1t. We
are ordered to remove our barberry
bushes. We should be compelled to
treat seeds for smut. There is just az
much difference in the vitality in seed
wheat as there is in seed corn, ard yet
there has been no concerted effort to
test seed wheat. 1t is a very simple
process to test wheat In wet plotting
papers. This is another abuse in
which the Government should exercise
police authority.

Time to Consolidate.
From th. Rur., Weekly.

Before the war the campaign for consolidated rural schools was
making good progress. Improved quality of instruction appealed to
parents. Comparative economy Of administration enlisted the sup
port of the taxpayers.
Building restriction due to the war put a stop to consolidation
which almost invariably includes the building Of bigger and better
school buildings.
Restrictions are off and now is the time to go ahead with consoli-
dations. Ii plans are made now, buildings may be made ready for
school next fall.
Buildings will be somewhat more expensive than before the war,
but that should not check consultations. There is no reason ia *
pect building costs to drop faster than other expenses. The same
school houses now as later.
Meantime. teachers salaries are rising and good teachers are
hard to get 1t any price. Teachers prefer to work in consolidated
schools; Any saving that might result from delay in building prom
ises to be moro than eaten up BY salarms for : larger number Of l9

A LARGER YIELD OF BETTER GRAIN
Clean, Plump Seed ar Important Factor.

(National Crop Improvement Service.)
In addition to the preparation OF a
seed bed. proper fertilization, rotation,
etc., there are four fundamentals
which should be observed in wheat
culture:
~ Establishment Of one variety of
seed wheat beat adapted to soil and
~ The tanning and grading to obtain
3 uniform seed, free from trash, imme-
eure Grain and weed eeeds.
(3) Treatment Of grain diseases ty the
Use OF fornnaldchyde.

WIFI the assistance OF the school Chill
dren OF the community.
Wheat varieties have had a good
deal of attention although there are
far too many mongrels which caunot
be classified on account Of their de-
pl0rably mixed condition.
In each wheat growing community
there is n prevailing type which for
many reasons is better than any other
variety. Even though two varieties
may be equal in merit, it is far better
for the community to decide upon one
and breed it up to its highest produc-
tivity.
The new Kanred Turkish wheat
seems to be the coming wheat for Kan
sas, yielding several bushels per acre
more than the parent stock. There is
q we'll defined geographical limit to
where this wheat should grow. .

New York Special: Are American
men who have been overseas going
back so marry French girls?
No" is the answer Of IA out OF Is
returaed officers. according to u Y. w.
C. A. representative here who has been
inter siewing returning officers on this
subject.
T:.e consensus of those interviewed
give the reason thus: THE French
girl Is not what American men call a
pal. She knows how to cook, to sew.
to make love. She can be q sweet
heart. She is not q pal. Her horizon
to9 often Is limited to the home. Her
life Ii lived within doors. She can
never replace the American girl for all
around intelligence, activities and am
/ itions. Most of all the American men
miss in her the playfellOw they have
known at home-the girl with h ten
nis racquet. the girl who loves to hike
hong miles and to swim and ride.
WIN the men so back to France?
absolutely" say returned Ameri-
cans. 'Eut that is because OF the call
OF Paris, the carefree life in the cities
over there. the thrill and the rsmance
Of the atmosphere Of France. In fact,
most Of the men are coming back to
marry the girls they left behind. and
then they probably win try to return to
France and take their American girl
wives with them to see the world"

American girl to say to the returning

West Point Primary School.

General March crisply epitomized the
need of new regime at West Point
when he told the graduation class; "The
old order of army life in the United
States has passed" The graduates of
to-day, he pointed out, must enter upon
career Numerically different from
that of few short years ago"
The class of 10 is to sail at once for
France to study the battlefelds, the mod
ern methods of supply and transporta-
ton and the general mechanics of up-to-
date warfare. This innovation contrasts
strikingly with the fate Of the graduates
of decade or two ago, sent to rusticate
at tiny posts in this country or in the
dependencies, on the theory that they
were already finished soldiers.
The West Point course has been cut
from four years to three. 1t will contin-
ne to furnish general instruction and dis
cipline. But the idea has been aban-
doned forever that such instruction aud
rudimentary training are the makings
of real officer His student days will
not end in the academy. From it he will
be transferred to the graduate schools
at the army centers or in the canton
ments and concentration camps.
War has become specialized to an ex-
traordinary degree, TO master any spe-
cialty is life work West Point will be
the primary school hereafter for officers.
But they will extend and complete their
education in the university of actual ex-
perience.-New York Tribune.
