THE WASTE OF POOR ROADS.

~ nOOR roads in Minnesota have been an end
less expense.
Under the present system we have been
pouring money down rat hole.
We have deceived ourselves most atrociously,
and most ridiculously.
A comparatively small sum, dribbled away ev-
cry year, didn't sound so big in the aggregate,
possibly, as did stated sum that would be ade-
quate for good roads
We have been practicing the most miserable
and most costly sort of economy. All the sum
that we have spent-and the sum has been large
has gone for almost naught
Wo can never hope to have good roads in this
state until we get hard-surfaced roads-roads
that laugh at mud and storm; roads that are
good 365 days in the year, and roads that we can
point to with pride, instead of viewing with
alarm Boost for the Babcock plan!-Fred Had

FALLING PRICES.

r1 He two big causes Of high prices are mia
ton everywhere and scarcity of staple
goods in Europe Neither Of those causes
can be removed by government action. An em-
barge on exports has been suggested. That would
shut the door in the face of famished Europe and
bring disastrous reactions there. Take cotton,
one of the most staple articles, used by every
body. The American price is nearly three times
what it was in 1914 This years American crop
is about ten million bales, which is fifty per cent
above domestic consumption Cut off exports
and the price would probably drop fifty per cent
overnight-and few hundred thousand South
ern farmers would be coming up to Washington
with tar and feathers There can be no great
and sudden fall in prices without panic, depres-
sion and ills quite as grievous as this high cost
of living Any material change in the price level
must come gradually cost more than it IS
worth The general price level is little different
from what it was year ago, when the Govern
n1ent was extensively fixing prices Price-fxing
will change it little now.
All the same this agitation against high cost
of living is good thing. Trade had fallen rather
extensively into wartime habit of prce-boosting.
Tacking on few cents extra seemed rather the
normal thing: and it seemed about as easy to
get one price as another. In that state OF mind
sellers of goods inclined to give themselves the
benefit of all doubts and buyers of goods accepted
the result as matter of course. The average
man was getting in the way of regarding his
cost of living as an uncomfortable affair, like a
rudderless dirigibIe adrift in the wind.
This agitation will focus attention on prices,
set up sharper inquiry, encourage the consumer
to make a firmer stand. Consumers have right
to know that given price is justified. decided
tendency to insist on that right will tend de-
cidedly to bring about prices that are justified.
Especially this agitation ought to call halt on
foolish spending. Undoubtedly many people
rather giving up cost of living as a hopeless job
anyway, and without the wartime campaign for
saving-were getting in the way of thoughtless
spending. The national problem, the world prob
lem is pretty much just the individual problem
more goods, greater care in consumption, less

WASTING FARMERS.

Western fruit growers are getting
rich this year; that is, rich for farm
ers. We note that one strawberry
rancher cleared more than So 900 from
six acres, and expects to clear twice
that next year, when his plantation
gets into full bearing. That's fine,
and we are all enthusiastic about this
back-to-the-soil movement for the
family.
And IN the next column we read a
short note to the effect that the gov
ernment was furnishing free trans
portation to $50 Montana dry land
farmers to get them to the harvest
fields of Nebraska, where they could
get job to support their families.
These $50 were a few Of the hundreds
cleaned out and dried up by the West
ern drouth, and days work in the
harvest field was their reward for all
their investment and effort and wait
ing.
We have fairly adventurous spir-
it, but this farming game, that gives
The Redwood gazette., 1919-09-17

one chap profit and that sends ESQ
five hundred miles to look for job,
is a bit too much of a gamble for
even our sporting spirit.
Maybe Uncle Sam will discover in
time that there are wide areas in his
domain that are not suited to farm
ing, and he will prevent good citizens,
faithful workers, eager agriculturists,
from venturing their all of health
and fortune In such fields.
We believe there are still enough
farms in this country, where the
chances are reasonably sure for safe
reward for the honest worker: enough
so that the deserts and the swamps
and the wilds need not be dared by
individual effort.
A real, sure-en enough, worthwhile
farmer is too precious national asset
to risk on a desert these days.-Wi-
chita Beacon.

THIS MEANS MUCH.

~ TWENTY-FIVE of the eighty-six counties OF
Minnesota were represented in the boys and
- girls club breadmaking contests at the state
fair Thirty-eight canning teams took part IN
demonstration. Several cans of fruits and vege-
tables were marked 100 by the judges and the
exhibit as a whole surpassed any other of the
kind at the fair. The quality of the corn exhibits
made by the young farmers was the best since
this particular contest was started several years
ago. The poultry clubs staged their first demon
stration All the pigs but one entered IN the pig
club competition were from registered stock,
whereas only two of all the entries in the first
state contest were registered animals. 1. A.
Erickson of the extension division of the un1ver-
sity college of agriculture, state leader OF boys
and girls club work, was congratulated by MISS
Gertrude Warren of Washington, national leader,
for the commanding position taken by Minnesota
toward the practical education of its young for
farmers and homekeepers. Three hundred girls
from 79 counties were housed at the agricultural
college and prepared their own meals at maxi
mum cost of Is cents for breakfast and 20 cents
for dinner. One hundred fifty boys were in camp
at the fair grounds. It was great week for the
young farm club members University Bulletin
1t was not only "a great week for the young
farm club MEMBERS" but great thing for the
future housekeepers and farmers of Minnesota
From this week these boys and girls came back
with added enthusiasm for their work, added
knowledge of the dignity and worth of the honest
tiIlinp of the soil and the making of home and
an insight into what it means to be educated IN
the best methods of carrying on any work whether
it is feeding calf, canning fruit, running trac-
tor or bringing up baby. It is work. such as
these boys and girls are doing in their clubs
which will take farming out of the realm of
drudgery and give to it some of the thrills ex-
perienced by the specialist and the profession
al" To say nothing of the social good to be de-
rived from these annual camps at the state fair,
the actual knowledge and good time is worth
many times the modest expenditure We hope
the state will find means and reasons for triplng
the work of the boys and girls clubs.

SEPTEMBER 18th, 1919.
EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE.

A fire-mist and planet,
A crystal and cell,
A jelly fish and saurian,
And caves where the cave-men dwell;
Then sense of law and beauty,
And face turned from the clod-
Some call it Evolution,
And others call it God
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe. rich tint of the cornfelds
And the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the golden rod
Some of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
Like tides on a crescent sea beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging in;
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod-
Some of us call it Longing,
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty.
A mother starved for her brood.
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Christ upon the rood;
And millions who, humble and nameless,
The straight, hard pathway plod-
Some call it Conservation,
And others call it God.
