THE ultimate result would be a
great shortage of milk and of neces-
sity prices so high in the not distant
future that the average family could
not afford to buy milk or other dairy
products,
IF these facts, we'll understood by
the majority of the producers in the
country, also are understood by the
consumers in the towns and cities,
there will be less tendency than at
present to lay undue blame upon the
producers for the high cost of living
and greater interest on the part of
everyone to insure such prices to the
farmer as will safeguard farm pro-
drction, which is the basis of a pros

DESERVES SUPPORT

Farmers, farm organizations and
farm publications are again urged to
redOuble their effort to impress upon
congress the necessity of passage of
the Capper-Hersman bill Letters,
kilograms and resolutions adopted by
Farmers Unions, Grange and Equity
locals, milk producers associations
and cooperative units generally
should be sent to Washington in sup
port of this all important measure
Otherwise, the efforts of certain
powerful trade associations are like
ly to prove its undoing. The whole
sale gr0cerymen are said to be active
in their desire 20 defeat the measure.
IT. is well known that various trade
associations maintaining or working
through state and national Hobbies
have for years been fighting the
growth of agricultural cooperation.
The opposition of milk distributors
frequently manifests itself simultan-
eously with the arrest and prosecu-
ton of cooperative milk marketing
associations. Public records are
available which show concerted eff
fort to prevent the manufacturers OF
feeds, fertilizers, farm machinery and
other agricultural requirements from
selling to farmers cooperative asso-
editions, This movement has gone
so far that county agents, directors
of agricultural extension, the depart
ment of agriculture, and public en-
ployes and officials generally have
been subjected to pressure in the eff
fort to prevent the spread of the CO.
operative movement among farmers.
Agricultural cooperation is based
on justice and right and makes for
greater efficiency in the farming
business. 1t is only a question of
time before it will be recognized as
absolutely essential from the stand
point not only OF the farmers well
fare but Of the general public as
well. Meanwhile, the strength of the
opposition must not be minimized.
Farmers now realize that organized
business has adequate finances for
any work at hand. With sufficient
funds the National Board of Farm
Organizations can cope successfully
with the organized efforts of bust
ness groups when such a struggle is
necessary in the interest of agricul-
ture. The membership should come
forward at once with additional sums
of money to properly finance their
undertakings.

THE OPEN FORUM

The plan OF establishing an open
forum in this community for the free
and open discussion of matters of
public importance is an excellent one.
To make democracy safe for this ma
ton and the world the people must
be able to vote intelligently on the
Issues which arise and they can not
do this without understanding the
issues The object of the open forum
is to present both sides of all ques-
tons and to secure a free discussion
of them from all points OF view. 1t
is clearing house for ideas.
Most political addresses and lee
lures present but one side of any is
sue, and too often appeal to preju-
dice and ignorance rather than to in
telligence. If any one in the audi
ence presumes to take issue with any
statement or argument he is hooted
down or elected from the hall. The
people who agree with the views of
the speaker go away more strongly
prejudiced than ever and those who
disagree are still skeptical because
they have been denied the oppor-
tunity to ask questions and have
points Of difference explained and
cleared away.

In the multitude of council there is

viewpoints is helpful and enlight-
ening. Grave and complicated prob

II they feel and recognize their re-
sponsibility they will gladly welcome
any opportunity of informing them

termine the merits of the controversy
between capital and labor, or of the
different plans offered for the opera
ton Of the railroads, or of the recon-
struction program of the farmers, or
of many other important issues which
must be faced in the near future.
An open forum, if properly con-

KNOWS WHEREOF HE SPEAKS

e. c. Johnson, dean of the college
of agriculture at the State College of
Washington and director of the state
experiment station, has little patience
with the people who maintain that
the farmers are profiteering at the
expense of the consumers in the
cities, and refutes their assertions by
citing the following stubborn facts:
The wheat farmer of today, who
receives 81 bushel for his wheat,
gets about $3.50 for the wheat re-
quired to make one barrel Of flour.
This flour will make approximately
800 14-ounce loaves of bread, selling
at about 10 cents a loaf, or $50 a
barrel.
Were the price reduced one cent
per loaf and the entire reduction
taken from the price of wheat to the
farmer, the consumer would be little
benefited and the farmer would re-
ceive at the rate Of about $l.35 per
bushel for his wheat, which is less
than the cost of production at the
present prices of land, labor and ma
chinery
If the present price of wool TO the
farmer were reduced 20 cents per
pound, it would mean less than 81
reduction in the price of a wool suit
retailing at sos to 500. If the pres
ent price of hides to the farmer were
cut in two, it would mean less than
90 cents reduction in a $12 to SIS
pair of shoes, the hide for which now
costs not to exceed between so and
80 cents per pair.
If the price OF milk, which at
present is between 20 and 80 cents
per gallon to the farmer, were re-
duced one-third, it would mean COM
paratively little TO the consumer of
milk who pays II to l 5 cents quart,
but 1t would mean bankruptcy for tho
commercial dairyman under present
prices of hay, feed and labor, and the
only dairying that would survive
would be in the small dairy herd on
the diversified farm where the herd
Is used TO consume grass, roughage
and feeds not readily salable, and
where the farmers family does all
the work, the day being closer to IL
hours than eight hours and the price
per hour 8 to 80 cents instead Of
80 cents to 81.

ayoidable that the efficacy of vac
is still improved. The virus of influ-
enza is not as yet discovered, and
thus further doubt Is thrown on the
probable value Of vaccines whose ac-
ton, if any, would be nonspecfic so
far as influenza itself is concerned.
How, then, shall We answer the
many queries OF patients as to
whether they shall be injected with
vaccines or what they shall do to
avoid falling victims to the disease?
Certainly they should not at present
be led to believe that by submitting
to vaccination they can hope to &C
quire immunity in any degree COM
parable to that resulting from anti
of prophylactic vacclnes is clearly
proved, they should not be recon-
mended to patients as a sure method
for the prevention of Influenza The
question as to the value of vaccines
in the prevention of infectious dis
eases of the respiratory tract other
than influenza is still under investi-
Cation. Other procedures, such as
ventilation, cleanliness and hygenic
measures in general, are of value in
that they contribute to good personal
and home hygiene. But no one of
them is all important to the exclu-
sion of the others. There is no sci
entific evidence that gargles and
sprays, NO matter what drug may be
used, are of value, except as temper
airy cleansers. There is one point in
regard TO influenza, however, on
which there is general agreement:
The pulmonary complications of in
fluenza, which make it so serious a
disease, may he avoided to a large
extent by rest in bed at the onset
of the illness. Influenza itself is
not so usually fatal, and general in
sistence on the Importance of rest
and warmth at the onset of illness
will accomplish more than all else
in preventing complications and re-
ducing fatalities from this disease.

FLU THIS WINTER

The Journal of the American Med
ical association for October, accepted
by the medical world as authority,
says of the influenza situation:
The suffering and loss of life that
characterized the influenza epidemic
OF last year are still vivid in the
minds of physicians and the public,
and there is much speculation as TO
the extent to which influenza will
appear during this fall and the com.
ing winter, and what measures ara
of value in its prevention. In the
anxiety to do everything possible to
lessen the anticipated danger, it is
important to maintain a judicial at
titude in evaluating any proposed
method of prophylaxis, and to inquire
carefully into it's merits before rec
Iommending it for general public use.
If we may judge by the experience of
the past in other epidemics of influ-
eral, a considerable recurrence of in
fluenza may be anticipated during
the coming fall and winter. During
the past spring and summer there
have been scattered cases, for the
most part mild, or at least not usual
ly complicated by the fatal broncho-
pneumonia of last winter. While
opinion as to the degree of immunity
conferred by one attack of influenza
is not unanimous, there are many
facts that appear to support the view
that one attack does ..Ur confer i'm
munity to the disease. If this view
be accepted, it may be assumed that
the epidemic of last year, which af-
fected perhaps 80 per cent of the
population, presumably conferred an
immunity on large proportion of
the susceptible persons, and that
therefore, a recurrence of the epidemic
OF the same magnitude is very I'M
likely. On the other hand, no
doubt there are a number of persons
who escaped infection last year, but
who through changes in resistance
or by accident of exposure, will suf-
fer from the disease this year 1t
must not be forgotten that infections
resembling and possibly identical
with influenza, are with us practical
ly always, especially in the winter,
and there is great temptation at
such times TO call any sickness that
has not a definite entity influenza. q"
Conditions that IRE ordinarily called
colds" are now being given the
more popular name Influenza"
The practical value of yaccines in
the prevention of influenza has been
much debated. In one group are
those who are enthusiastic over the
alleged success of yaccines in the pre-
vention of influenza, citing numbers
Of instances in which people did not
become i'll from influenza following
prophyiactic injections, and in which
those who did become i'll suffered less
severely than others not injected. In
another group are those more con-
servatiye, who present carefully
studied series Of persons who had
been vaccinated with like numbers
OF unyaccinated controls, and point
out that the incidence of the disease
was practically the same in the vac
cinated as with the unvaceinated
persons. The conclusion seems IN

PHYSICAL TRAINING

In the Red Cross Magazine Charles
X. Taylor, sergeant in the 1O2nd
Engineers, 27th Division. reports
some of the views expressed by his
comrades at an officers training
school in France.
The boys were getting pretty sol
idly against universal military train
ing. They knew exactly why, too.
They said it destroys resourcefulness
destroys individual initiatives; il is
an artificial discipline, allowable only
when men impose it on themselves
for the sake of a great object, such
as winning a war. They we're rather
down on too much preparedness for
war in spite of the fact that the ma
tion unprepared was apt to be caught
at a big disadvantage.
AS Sergeant Taylor reports their
belief, 'it was worth while to make
sacrifice to retain the racial char
acteristics of the Anglo-SaXons and
those sharing and adopting their
the greatest individual resource and
initiative would win the war in the
end, anyway. tgr
1t was different with universal ply
sical training. Experts have said that
the high percentage of men who were
found by army physical examinations
to be unfit" can be greatly reduced
if physical education Is undertaken in
time. The proper time is not when
the boys have reached the military
age, but when they are entering
school. Furthermore, the soldiers
were scornful of silly and Intellectual
class calisthenics." They wanted real
exercise. developing the body and
adapted to individual needs of pupils.
They believed that the social and &C.
onomic value of reducing the percent
age of physically unfit would more
than repay the cost of such system.
Physical training appeared to them
better than military training because
it could be undertaken at so much
earlier an age. The latter usually
comes far too late to do any good,
and 1t takes only those who are al
ready in fairly good shape
All this is pretty much what the
average American thinks. II he
wants any kind of military training
he wants the emphasis TO be on the
body and mind development side, and
not on that of militarsm. Americans
in general realize the great value of
better physical education for every.
