INTEREST AND TAXES

Those who are waiting for the re-
turn of fifty-cent corn, and it was not
so long ago that fifty-cent corn was
high corn, are due for long, long
wait
When farm land in the corn belt
left the S60-an-acre class and climbed
into the $500 class the day of fifty
cent corn passed.
A businessman who doesn't get
interest on his investment is not go
ing to remain in business long.
And If seven percent on 5000 is not
s14 an acre year for interest our
figures are wrong.
Then add three percent for taxes
and you have Sc more, or $50 an
acre year, before your field is
plowed
And twenty dollars equals forty
bushels of fifty cent corn.
The average yield in the United
States for corn is today nearer thirty
bushels than forty.
So, with the average yield, the
farmer would be paying money for
the privilege of working all season.
and would be also paying his hired
help out of his capital instead of his
income.
And he would figure nothing for
depreciation, new machinery. repairs,
seed. fertilizer or insurance.
Indeed 1t takes a remarkable ex-
pert farmer to raise any grain crops
on $2O0-an-acre land and make a
living. even in these times of high
prices.
Why then are SO many corn farm
ers buying automobiles?
Because they bought their land at
$50 an acre. or because they have
it paid for, and regard their income
as reward for their labor, instead of
interest.
But the young farmer, who has to
buy that land at 5000 an acre on
time and pay interest and taxcs and
part of the principle each year. and
make living for himself and six
children, that young man is up
against hard game.
So hard that each ccar the tenant
is replacing the owner on the best
farms of the nation,

Crops Look Good

olney Springs.-The small grain
crops in Olney vicinity look very
promising from the lanes as one
drives thru Wheat, oats and bar
ley are well matured. most of the
fields are cut and shocked, ready for
the thresher. The Guy Williams
machine went to Crowley last week
where they hope to be busy at least
a month. Bert Millhouse took his
machine to North Fowler the first
of the week to work and will begin
near Olney Tuesday morning.
Corn fields are in excellent condi-
tion with fine prospects of a big
yield. and the second cutting of al
falfa will be on before the grain can
be put away. Every farmer is crowd
ed with work. The moisture of Tues
day and Wednesday relieved the long
dry, hot wave. Every man and beast
enjoyed the cool breathing spell be-
fore the hot August weather.

A FARMERS CHANCE

In recent number of The Agricul-
tural Review plea is made for the
Improvement of conditions for the
young farmer without means.
The agricultural ladder has three
rungs, represented by the stages of
hired man, tenant, and owner. After
having learned practical farming,
working as an unpaid laborer on his
fathers farm. the young man with
out capital, especially If his fathers
farm is too small to give him chance
at home, starts out as a hired man.
In from four to six years as a hired
man he has accumulated a few hun
dred dollars. He can usually borrow
an amount equal to his savings. He
then becomes a tenant.
Thirty years ago it took the aver
age tenant only five years to acquire
enough to make a first payment on a
good farm. Now 1t takes an average
of eleven years. As land rises in
price, unless the price of farm pro-
ducts rises too. it will take still longer
to pass the tenant stage. A very
few men 60 directly from hired man
to owner.
ITO prevent tenacy from becoming
too common in this country, and to
make the career of hired man attrac-
tive, the government should establish
a system of credit to enable a cap
able hired man to get capital enough
to become a farm owner.

THAT DAYLIGHT LAW

According to the way things stand
now people must continue to put mp
with this so-called Daylight Saving
business. President Wilson has Veto
ed the bill which repealed the Day.
light Saving law, and SO we must
continue to change the clock each
spring and fall and make 1t possible
for the city business man to have
his long evenings to enjoy himself.
So far as the farmers are concern
ed the change of time does not profit
them one bill, and they are not for
such switching up and back of
clocks. AS matter of fact it is
more inconvenient to the farming
public and rural communities than
it is beneficial.
1t will require two-thirds vote
OF congress to pass the bill over the
presidents veto and this two-thirds
vote will probably not be secured.

nEEP and dark looked the hole into
IL which the rabbits had plunged bear
ing Peggy, Billy and Judge Owl upon
their backs--deep, dark and mysterious.
But it didn't stay deep and it didn't
stay dark, though all the while it grew
msre and moro mysterious.
They knew it wasn't deep, for every
once in while they came upon we'll
like openings through which the moon
shone down. And it wasn't dark, for
lights appeared along the wall-little
lights made by glow worms. These
lights added TO the mystery of the place,
for they showed that the rabbits, in
stead of crawling along a stuffy hole In
the earth, such as their path had ap-
peared to be at first, were travelling a
broad underground street, which had
neat little apartments opening of from
It.
In some of the apartments dwelt ants,
IN others lived beetles, while here and
there were the homes of garden worms,
Of moles, of gophers and of chipmunks.
But while many of the underground
folks could be seen through their win
dows, none was stirring in the street.
This was easily explained, for every
single one of them was found asleep.
"And they'll sleep all winter, the lazy
things," shifted Bunny Rabbit to Peggy.
At last they came to a place where a
large stone stood in the side of the wall.
Above II were the words Underground

little song:
nOh, Daddy Mole, where is your gold?
Deep in your hole, SO we've been told"
But Daddy Mole didn't stir.

squeaked Johnny Rabbit, growing i'm
patient, and he gave the stone q hard
push. At this the stone swung back 30
quickly Johnny Rabbit tumbled right in,
falling over Daddy Mole, who was calm
ly slumbering on the floor. Johnny
Rabbit was annoyed at falling that way,
and he gave Daddy Mole a kick that
woke him up in hurry.

"Please, Daddy Mole, we want to

said Bunny Rabbit with a pretty smile.
"Ah, that's different" said Daddy
Mole, waking up quickly and bowing
politely. Right this way, ladies' and
gentlemen"
He swung open an inner door, and
there IN a gloomy cellar stood a huge
chest--a chest that looked to the toy
like eyes of Peggy and Billy as big as
an ordinary house. At one end Of the
chest was a hole, and through this hole
could be seen a heaped- up mass of
coins.

IF A press agent of the newer Germany
I hasn't been having dreams at Essen
German scientists have devised a gaso-
line turbine and perfected device that
the rest of the world has been awaiting
eagerly for generation. A new era for
aviation would begin instantly if an
engine such as that which is said to be
ready for the newest German airplanes
has actually been invented
The ordinary gasoline motor works
against itself. A rotary engine of the
internal combustion type has long been
sought. The Gnome engine revoIves, but
it works by the compression that dissi-
pates considerable percentage of it's
own energy. A turbine gasoline engine,
in comparison with the gasoline engines
of the conventional oscillatng type,
would represent an advance as great as
that of the first electric motor over the
small steam engines that it supplanted.

They have a horror of the light Of day.
It is for this reason that state or federal
commissions should begin at once thor
ough survey of the whole question Of
food costs and distribution in order to
relieve a pressure that is already almost
intolerable.
No question now before the coun-
try is so important as that of food
supplies and prices. 1t is clear that there
is waste and profiteering everywhere. If
a food administration is needed it ought
to be re-established. If licensing sys-
tenn is necessary it ought to be estab-
lished.
But more important than anything
else would be the sort of information
which a ruthless food commission could
turn up. 1t could not only eliminate the
food gamblers by exposure. Its more
important duty would be to suggest and
even devise means for the more scientific
marketing and distribution of food
products of all kinds.

THE FIVE-CENT LOAF

THE poor man is going to get a five
i cent loaf Oh bread if he wants it and
Governor Sproul has his way. That's
why the Governor has vetoed a bill
making it unlawful to sell loaf weigh
ing less than pound.
Of course, there is nothing said about
the size of the five-cent loaf. Time was
when you carried it under your arm. This
was followed by the time when you car
ried it between your thumb and finger.
The time approaches when you may carry
it behind your ear like a pencil or ciga-
rette, or in your vest pocket like match
box. But it will be fiye-cent loaf.
The state has undoubted power to say
that the loaf is a unit of measure and
to fix its size. 1t fixes the cubic contents
Of quart of milk and the weight of a
pound of butter, and the weight of a
bushel of potatoes, onions, corn and
wheat. But it does not fix the size of q
bunch of asparagus, or bundle of beets
or carrots or scallions. These are fixec
by custom and the purchaser decides

TOP RANK FOR THEM!

TI1E President has undoubtedly ex-
L pressed the desire of the country in
recommending to Congress that the per-
manent rank of general be conferred on
John ]. Pershing and Peyton C. March
and that William S. Benson and William
S. Sims be raised to the permanent rank
of admiral.
The responsibility for directing the
operations of the army and navy was
shared by these men. They did their
work well and they deserve official recog-
milton.
The least the country can do for them
is to allow them to retain for the rest of
their natural lives the rank which they
have held during the period of the war
1t is a small reward for their services
but it should be given quickly and un,
grudgingly
