Will Make Good

The following lines are taken
from the Columbia Evening Mis-
sourian:
The latest Tiger to appear on
Rollins Field. a former Tiger half
back. is Ray Bond, whose work for
the team in the past promises that
he will show in several Tiger line
ups this year. Bond played half
back in the Northwestern game in
1916. but kept out the remainder OF
the season because of a dislocated
collar Zone.
Bond has won his m" in track

Select Seed Corn

Select seed in the field from the
highest yielding plants which are
growing under average conditions
of spacing, fertility and moisture.
1t is not enough merely to select
the seed in the crib. VIC. Ether
idge of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture says, one
can have no notion of the condi
tions under which the crib selected
ear was produced.
In selecting seed from the field
attention should be paid to the
maturity of the ear. Only well ma.
tured ears should be chosen. for it
is desirable above all things to Sc
lect strain which will thoroughly
mature within the growing season.
Never select ears with big sappy
cObs. for such ears dry out very
slowly in the storage and are more
liable to heat or freeze than ears
which contain a smaller amount OF
moisture. Among the highly yield
ing plants it is well to pay attention
also to the form of the plant itself
The ears should be chosen from
strong. stocky plants which stand
erect in resistance to the wind
However. the total yield of the
plant and its early maturity are the
main considerations. and no charac'
teristic of the plant or ear should be
allowed to interfere in the selection
for these features.

Women Doctors

Women physicians from 80 coun
tries are holding a convention at
New York city, at which they are
discussing the question of social
responsibility for public health
twenty-five years ago it would
hardly have been possible for these
women to meet without encounter.
ing considerable ridicule and serious
disapprobation.
The first women doctors were
pioneers in a field where their en-
trance was resented by many. Some
people used to think that women
were incapable of receiving any
form of the higher education. 9th,
ers thought it would be improper
for women to attend medical lect,
ures and experiments with men.
Many obstacles were thrown about
their entrance to this form of
work.
Experience has shown that a
great many women are exceeding.
ly we'll adapted to success in this
profession, and they have become
a tremendously useful force.
Women physicians have been
particularly helpful IN the WORK
they have done for physical devel'
opment for school children. A very
large number of them are serving
as medical inspectors in schools
usually for little pay. They point
out an enormous number OF physi
cal defects in children and persuade
the parents to have these defects
treated and removed. Millions Oi
children have better teeth, better
eyes. and better breathing apparatus
than they would have were it not
for the activities of women doctors
Another great service is their
constant example and counsel
against various unhealthful prac
tices to which women resort fol
personal adornment. High heels
tight corsets, and othe follies, en-
counter the ridicule and warning o.
these plain spoken women. Many
honors ought 10 be given thes'
workers who have done so mucl
in the cause Of physical betterment
and social service.

Warns Farmers

Prices of farming lands in many
sections of the United States.
especially in Iowa and the other
corn belt states, have risen with
such rapidity that serious conse.
quences may be'expected, especial
ly with the return of normal condi.
tons. This is a warning to farmers
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Spectators. many of them bust
ness men of the cities in many
cases. have reaped big profits by
buying and reselling without max
ing any substantial contribution in
in return. Farmers have sold land
at prices that seemed high, and
then have bought at still higher fig
ures, losing thousands of dollars in
the exchange. The bona fide farm
er who purchases land at present
b Ugh prices may find the returns on
his investment abnormaIly small if
earnings should decline when nor
m al conditions are restored and
may find himself seriously embar
rassed if he has financed the pur-
chase largely on credit.
That is a summary of the situa
ton as it is viewed by investigators
of the Bureau of Farm Management
sent by the department into the
regions of most marked specula-
tive activity. Here is sui mary
of their advice which is broadly ap
plicable probably to the majority of
farmers in the regions affected.
tn ough it may not fit every indi-
vidual case:
Much Of the present speculative
activity has been due to the fact
that spectators have been able to
catch some farmers unaware, buy.
ing their farms at a much lower
figure than was justified in relation
to prices in adjoining regions.
Therefore you should be careful
about selling to a speculator who is
buying to sell again. If it is worth
more to him it probably may be
" orth more to you If you own a
farm and desire to continue farm
ing be very sure before selling that
you can obtain out of the proceeds
of your sale as good farm as you
have sold
If you desire to purchase a farm
you should be very sure that the
price you pay is fully justified by
the probable net earnings of the
farm when conditions become more
normal.
Be careful that the buyer of your
farm is able to complete his pay
ments on March 1st in case be fails
to resell. In general it is safe to
require an initial cash payment of
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-09-26
One.third the sale price.

Be cautious about specializing
yourself. Especially do not buy on
a narrow cash margin with the ex-
pcetatian that you will be able to
sell and obtain the necessary means
of settling your contract. You may
not be able to effect sale A land
boom" may collapse suddenly.

One can't be too careful of his
