Inspector. His salary is limited to 800
a month for six months only There is
no, county that can afford not to use
this law and start a movement to fight
the worst weed in the Valley.
There is much interest. among the
farmers Of the Red River Valley coun-
ties in regard to fighting the SOW thistle
during 1919. The successful experience
in Clay county where weed inspector
was employed in 1918, has led many
communities to favor the appointment
of such person in other counties.
While it is desirable to continue an
educational campaign to secure more
sheep, rotate fields, seed badly infested
fields to grass, and take other measures
it must be made the business Of some
one in each county to have the matter
in charge. A County Weed Inspector
secured under Chapter 394, 1917 laws,
can accomplish results. In Canada de-
finite progress has been made in the
fight against this weed since a pro-
vincial weed inspector undertook the
fight. What is. everybody's business
becomes nobody's in this as well as in,
every other line. The result will be
that the Red River Valley will suffer
greatly in reputation as well as in re-
duced yields. The Sheaf urges full dis.
cussion of this matter. Now is the time
to act.

The women in Minnesota will after
this have the privilege to vote for presi-
dental electors according to law just
passed by the Minnesota legislature
and signed by the governor. There is
some question as to the constitutional
1ty Of the law, as the, state constitution
grants suffrage only to male voters, but
the United States constitution grants
to the state legislature of the several
states, the power to determine the man
ner Of appointing electors. Able law
yers hold that in a contest between the
state and the Federal constitutions the
Federal constitution will prevail. But
equally learned lawyers take the op-
posite side. In as much as the women
vote for president in many of the states
already, there would seem to be no good
reason to withhold from them the
privilege in some of the states regard
less Of constitutions. The fact that the
mere crossing Of a state boundary will
bestow or remove the privilege Of
women to vote for presidential electors,
is absurd. Slowly but surely the cause
Of woman suffrage is making headway.

Let the Farmers Boys Go Home.

Why are boys from the farm still
held in the military service? That
question is entitled to the immediate
attention of the; War Department.
Spring is at hand and it is high time
that every man who can contribute to
food production should be released and
allowed to 60 back to that job. One
farmer in the cornfield is worth to the
country now a dozen in the camps.
And one man Of experience is worth
more than half dozen raw hands, no
matter how willing.
There is no good reason, so far as we
can see, why expert workers Of all
kinds should not be promptly dis
charged. But there is an imperative
reason, why the man who knows how
to till the soil and to raise crops should
be discharged at once. Other work can
be deferred, but his cannot. The sea
sons wait for no man. Three or four
weeks may make all the difference in
his case between usefulness and use
lessness If he is detained much longer
in camp, he will arrive too late.
The hoe and the plow now are
mightier than the rifle and the bayonet
Let the "embattled farmers be set
free without delay to do battle for the
most essential Of all things Let
the world be made safe for food. With
out plenty of it, it will not be safe for
anything. 49,

After the Civil War the returning
soldiers were a great political force for
many years, in both North and South.
They constituted the most powerful Of
any organized group in the country, and
few politicians dared defy them. a
large part of the prominent statesmen
were soldiers. It was hard to beat a
man with good war record at the
polls.
Four million soldiers are now return
ing to civil life. They will come back
with soldier ideals, with common ex-
perience, and disposed to some extent
to act as a unit in public affairs Ex-
perienced politicians expect them to be
a great force, and are trying to fore
cast what their influence will be.
For one thing the soldiers are going
to be strong on efficiency and discipline
They have learned what grand things
can be accomplished by system and or
ganizatiOn and scientific ability
These qualities have not counted as
high in home politics as they should.
The best talker is usually the one who
wins at the polls. He may have no
business head or organizing ability.
But if he can make an eloquent and
plausible speech, he is pretty sure to
get by, Meanwhile the quiet man of
achievement in business, of capacity for
scientific organization and expert eff
cheney, does not usually fare well at
the polls because he can not express
himself volubly enough. zs. = 4 -.,
The soldiers will feel keenly the lack
Of efficiency. In some cases they suffer
ed from it very seriously and they will
be very hostile to it in civil life They
are not going to be content while mere
takers get into power. It is a safe
prediction that they will constitute a
force for action and expert ability RAJ,
ther than for talk. Let the politicians
think about this.

Profits in Small Farms.

The various proposals for lOcat ting re-
turned soldiers on farms renders Of in
terest a study made by Edward K.
Parkinson, Of Albany, N. Y, on the
value of small farms intensively cult
waited. Mr.. Parkinson declares that as
a matter of fact the smaller farms skill
fully managed yield larger profit on
the investment than do the larger ones.
He mentions twenty-acre farm in
Dutchess County, New York, which
makes an annual net profit Of from five
and ten thousand dollars from poultry,
though the owner buys all his feed.
Truck farms Of ten acres, each near
Norfolk, Va, show net profits of about
two thousand dollars each. A twenty.
acre asparagus farm near Philadelphia
gives a. yearly profit Of about nine hun
dred dollars, though the owner sells to
cannery. a. tiny farm three miles
north OF Reading, Pa, is called the
most successful in the United States.
II, has three and half acres and nets a
profit of, twelve to fifteen hundred dol
lars on two and one-half Of these acres.
The small intensive farms of Europe
show marvellous results, but the Eu-
ropean farms by inches rather than by
acres. Mr.. Parkinson tells of visiting a
truck farm of two and half acres near
Paris where in 1912 the profit was
$2,45O "A thirty acre farm in Belgium
fattened twenty thousand chickens at a
profit of twelve thousand dollars.
And so the stories run. Evidently
the success of the small farm is largely
a product of good sense in location and
crops chosen and Of the ability of the
farmer The traditions in the North
west, Of course, are all in favor of the
large farm. We are reading now Of a
bunch Of tractors at work on hundred
thousand acre tract in Montana. But
near the large cities the price Of land
is tending to- cut down the size of the
old farms. The intensive farmer will
doubtless have his day here as he has
it in Europe and near the large cities
Of the East. II
Fewer failures are found among
farmers than in like number of men
in commercial enterprises. and even if
fortunes are not made, the farmer is
pretty sure Of a good living. Where he
has exceptional ability, he will do bet
ter than his neighbor whether on a.
small or large farm, But in this region,
the rule seems to have been, so far as
one may judge from the casual gossip
Of the street and Office, that failures
are more frequent among the small
farmers than among the large farmers.
The trouble has been that "desk farm
ers' have expected too much from ten
acres without knowing how to till
these acres intensively. Ten acres or a
hundred and sixty is a serious business
for the man who knows little about
farming. Perhaps in that case one size
of farm is as bad as the other.
Any man who 'goes on the land"
ought to know something more about
the business than can be picked up from
watching a farmer over the top .of

HOW TO SELL LAND.

A settler out south decided he wanted
to sell his place.
he placed small advertisement in
an Iowa paper, and received large
number Of replies. Soon one Of those
interested came up and bought the
place, paying approximately the correct
value for It.
It is simple. Yet many people hold
land for years and years after they
would like to get rid Of it, because they

Fight the Sow Thistle.

Something should be done in every
county in the Red River Valley to fight
the SOW thistle. The most practical
plan yet proposed was tried during
1918 in Clay county where the County
Commissioners appointed d County
Weed Inspector under the provisions 6f
Chapter 394, Laws OF 1917. The an
nual report Of this inspector shows
that his work was mainly educational ;
that it was not necessary to force any
one to do anything; that nearly all the
farmers and land owners were willing
to cooperate; and that the campaign
was popular and successful. sE
The principal thing accomplished by
the county weed inspector acting in CO.
operation with the County Agents and
Farm Bureau is to call to the attention
of each individual farmer and land
owner the best method 81 fighting this
weed, and to secure cooperative COM
munity efforts in the entire county.
The Northwest Experiment Station
advocates the passage Of the County
Weed Inspection law and has urged the
appointment Of Inspectors, It may be
said that this will cost something, but
the entire cost to the county is mere
nothing compared to the losses in crop
returns from SOW thistles. One of the
most important things the inspector
will do is to point out the need of crop
rotation, the need of livestock, especial
ly sheep, and other plans -
