Two Pertinent Questions.

Under the above heading the De-
trcit Times has the following to say
regarding a former Belding boy.
Clay Tallman, now United States
land commissioner, formerly lived
here and he was graduated from the
local high school.
The National Livestock association
must have snickered when Clay Tall
man, commissioner of the general land
office addressed its Denver session to
this effect:
There are two million acres of idle
land in the rain belt of the eastern
states. If the western states fail
to rise to their opportunity and devel-
op the livestock industry to it's maxi
mum possibility, the east will turn to
these lands or to importation from
abroad for its meat supply and the
west will suffer in consequence"
Really, Uncle Kitcbel Rixley, or
The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1919-02-19

some other old hograiser, ought to
have asked that general land office
man two questions, to-wit: q b
If the east, with all that idle land
in the rain belt, doesn't like western
bacon at 70 cents and western beef
at 40 cents, why doesn't it go TO rails
ing hogs and cattle on that land?
III there's 2O0,0OO,000 acres lying
around idle, why doesn't the govern
ment, by Communicating or taxing,
set it to producing?
In fact, Mr.. Tallman's threat isn't
an Indictment of the western meat
raiser. It's an indictment Of our fool
way Of doing things.
The eastern states have plenty Of
money, plenty of idle land, plenty of
jobless men, and are hungry for meat.
And the best solution government Of
ficials can offer is to scare the western
meat raiser into producing so much
meat as to lower his prices! What
a merry ha-ha the eastern tool-maker
or clothmaker would put up over such
a proposition!

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.

Washington's birthday gives a
splendid chance to public school
teachers and all instructors Of young
people. They should make George
Washington something more than a
dull and shadowy figure of antiquity,
which the children are forced to learn
about in books. They should bring
out all the marvellous romance of his
character
AS you read over the salient facts
in the story of Washington, it seems
almost as unlikely as the sensational
stories you find in the old fashioned
dime novel. For he had to contend
with obstacles that seemed so i'm
possible. He had to depend on a
little ragged force Of patriots, inhar-
mcnious, quarreling with each other.
The soldiers were often on the pont
of quitting and going home.
The country was an impoverished
group of frontier settlements. Con-
gress was cowardly and doubtful of
its authority and failed to give Wash
ington decent support. The army
officers intrigued against their leader.
Commanding but rag tag of an
army, he struck a conquering blow.
But most other great military leaders

WILLS FUND TO ALL CREEDS
IN LAST BLOW TO PREJUDICE

Freepcrt, Ill, Feb. THE will of
the late Jacob Jonas, filed for pro-
bate, disposed Of an estate of $4,000

Catholic institutions. st. Vincent's
orphanage was left $4,000 and St.
Francis Hospital, the Freeport Y. M.
G. A, both of this city; the Lutheran
church of Mcconnell, H.; st. Mary's
college of st. Mary, Kan; the direc-
tors Of the school district of Wad-
dams township and the American Red
Cross were left lesser sums. In re-
lating his reasons for remembering
all creeds, the testator had declared
it was his hope that his example
would tend toward ending religious
prejudice.

Somehow Washington took this mn
possible situation ct chaos, and mace

No other American, not even Lin
coin, ever united all parties to the
extent that Washington did. SO let
his memory be kept alive and glowing
in the hearts Of the people. He was
one of the great men Of the world.
Much Of the security and prosperity
of American life today is due to his
genius.
TRADE SCHOOL EDUCATION.
One of the propositions for making
education more practical is TO estab-
lish trade schools, where young peo-
pie can become efficient and skilful
in certain handicrafts. But not all
trade schools have realized the hopes
of the people who founded them.
For instance, the reports given out
of a recent investigation of results
of>tradse education in a certain
group of schools in the state of Mas
sachusetts were distinctly disappoint-
ing. These schools gave girls in
struction in millinery and dressmak-
ing. 1t appeared that only about
one-third of the girls who attended
these. schools have made use of it..
Those who did make use of it got a
higher wage at the start than an un-
trained pirl. But they did not main
tain this advantage throughout their
experience in these trades.
Trade schools might not pay as well
for girls as for boys, since the great
majority of girls marry at an early
age.
Young people need something more
than training in some one trade, val
liable as that might be. Their minds
need development. They need to be
taught to think and reason. If they
are taught skill with the hand and
nothing else, they are likely to stay
right in the grade of work they learn
ed at school. If their minds are
awakened and the faculty Of original
thinking is stimulated they are going
to plan out larger futures for them
selves and not be satisfied tc keep
along with the degree of attainment
achieved at the start.
The schools need to give much
more training in hand work than they
used to. But it needs to be COM
bined with studies that will awaken
the sleeping brains and develop the
faculties in an all round way.

cent making butter fat production
for last lactation period of $50 pounds.
From March IL to May 16 this cow
was in the Grover herd at Glynden,
Mimi, she produced 4,41O pounds Of
milk which sold for $132.3O. From
May is to June 16 while in the Luet-
mer herd she produced 2,O80 pounds
of milk and from June 16 to July IL
1,943 pounds of milk making a total
production during these two months of
4,023 lbs. The butterfat contained in
the 4,023 pounds of milk produced
during these two months sold at the
Metre Grove creamery for $40. From
July 16 to December Is this COW pro-
duced 6,002 pounds of milk containing
butter fat which sold for $S7.14.
This record shows the value of the
milk and butter fat produced by this
cow during the past year was $298.44.
Mr.. Luetmer feeds his cows according
to production and is very careful
and conscientious feeder. He figures
the feed cost for this cow at dc day
covering a feeding period of 270 days
which would make total feed cost
Of $110.70 leaving a net profit which
the cow has returned over and above
the cost of her feed at $187.74. In
addition to this the COW is also entitled
to be given credit for at least $50
worth of skinned milk which she
produced after May Is while in the
Luetmer herd and in addition to this
$40 in prize money which she was
awarded as champion Holstein cow
shown at the Stearns county fair last
fall. Adding the value of the SKINNED
milk and this prize money to the
$187.4 cleared over and above her
feed cost this cow has returned dur
ing her past lactation period, net
profit of $237.74. In the same manner
Mr.. Luetmer has kept accurate record
of all the cows in his herd. This
same method of farm accounting and
business judging which is being put
into practice by number Of the pa
irons in the Metre Grove neighborhood
has gone long ways toward bringing
to this community the prominent
place which it enjoys today as the
dairy center of Stearns county.
The fact that all the patrons of the
Metre Grove creamery are improving
The standard of their dairy herd and
getting larger returns per cow is
very evident by the fact that during
The past year this creamery which is
supported by only 81 farm patrons
has paid out for butter fat delivered
SIG, 887.85 and paid to patrons in but
;er $3,985.10. With $SO,872,95 paid
Tor butter fat and for butter delivered
% 81 patrons we find that $1,525.75
the average amount paid
Turing the past year to each patron Of

FARMERS GARDENS RETURNS

The farm gardens of Minnesota last
season produced S4,198,462 worth Of
foodstuffs. This total was obtained
from 83,776 gardens. If the rest Of
the farms Of the state had maintained
gardens with equal success, the total
would have been millions larger. For
this reason, r. S. Macintosh, horti-

Extension division at University Farm
is calling on the county agents Of the
state to stimulate interest in farm
gardens for the present year. "a
garden in every home" is his appeal.
