Cause of High Costs

Over in Canada they have also
their troubles with the H C of l..
and committee of parliament has
been trying to find out the reasons.
Most of the conditions which they
point out exist in this country, and
have led to the present abnormal
price level
The Canadian committee find
hat one reason for excessive prices,
is that during the war large mum.
b ers of people were drawn from the
rural districts into the cities and in.
dustriel and munition making cent.
ers. The result has been a great
scarcity of labor on the farms, Great
ing deficiency in food production
and adding to the cost of all farm
products.
That is q condition that exists all
over this country. Never before
has there been such a shortage of
farm help While the factories are
employing more people than ever
before. the farmers are trying to
turn out bigger product with less
help.
Manufacturing industries and the
towns in which they are located ma.
turally desire to grow and do more
business. 1t is praiseworthy am-
bitioD. which they may we'll seek to
carry out. But nothing is accomp.
lished when they make their gain
by drawing in people off the farms
of the surrounding country.
The way for manufacturing towns
and manufacturing industries to
get normal growth is to draw in
new workers from the great mass
of people who have been engaged
in non.productive occupations. and
turn them into real producers. AL
so live city can always grow by
drawing people from other cities
that have less enterprise and public
spirit. But drawing workers off the
farms to work in the factories is
like taking material out of house
foundation to pile on the superstruc.
ture. 1t may seem to build a bigger
house, but the thing may topple
over.

Fountain of Youth

Since Adam cavorted around i'm
the Garden of Eden man has been
searching for the fountain of youth
Many times enthusiastic scientists
have been on the trail of the great
discovery, but always old age has
overtaken them at the usual stage
Of the game and they have lived
their allotted time and departed to
the realms beyond.
Now comes scientist who has
discovered life giving glands in the
ape and declares grating of these
glands into the human body in
creases vitality three fold and
makes an old man young. The
same principal is applied by graft
ing glands OF young men who die
from accidents or by other means
besides disease into the bodies of
old men. An experiment of this
kind was made in the California
penitentiary at San Quentin. Calif.,-
recently, and the elderly man into,
whose body were grated the glands
of the younger mana murderer
who was hanged--is able to sit up
in bed and smoke his pipe.
A Paris surgeon urges the public:

bodies of healthy young men whose
lives are snuffed out by accidents
to be committed back to earth to-
return to dust, when these life Civ
ing glands could be removed and
placed in cold storage to furnish,
new vigor and strength to older
men who are near the grave.
II glands from the ape actually
are found to rescue aged persons
from the grave. the ape is due for
great popularity. Ape farms should
be establiehed and campaign Of
education instituted by the United
States government to urge every
man to raise his own ape. Every
man acts like a monkey occasional

Cholera Reduced

An example of the benefit which
may come to a community from
the well-directed efforts of State
and Federal agencies, coupled with
the cooperation of farmers, for the
CO ntrol of hog cholera is shown in a
recent report of a veterinary inspec-
tor of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try. United States Department of
Agriculture.
Hog cholera control work was
inaUgurated in six counties in the
northeastern section of North Caro-
lima August 1, 1915. An intensive
campaign was carried on for a
period of ID months. 1t included
investigation of reported outbreaks,
demonstrations in the use of serum
and virus. and the disinfection of
premises. AS the services of prac-
ticing veterinarians were not avail
able. a number of laymen were
trained insthe administration of the
serum treatment for cholera. After
that period of intensive activities
the work was Withdrawn to another
section of the State, only general
supervision being given to the oric.
inal area.
During October a survey was
made of the counties comprising
the district in question, and a ques-
tiOnnaire was submitted to as many
OF the farmers as could be reached.
Answers received and tabulated in.
dicate that there has been a reduc-
tiOn in losses from cholera of over
~ per cent. and an increase of over
100 per cent in swine production,
due to the protection offered by the
immunization of the animals. There
has also been a NAKED improve
ment in the type of this class of
animals. due to the knowledge that
1t is possible to raise more and bet
ter hogs without danger of having
them destroy ed by cholera.

Goods Roads Save

The state Engineer OF, Nebraska,
has been conducting an extensive,
campaign. for good roads. and he,
gives some remarkable results Of
tests of their economy.
1t has been shown, he finds, that
to pull a ton over an ordinary earth
road, takes 218 pounds of power. To-
pull it over a macadam road, takes
63 pounds of power; over a eravelled
road, 7S to 81 pounds of power. and
over a paved road, 27 pounds Of
power. 1t is easy to see how bad
road connecting food producing
district with the railroad adds to-
the cost of living, and tends to dis
courage the farming industry.
As result of the showing that
has been made of the economy of
good roads. many farmers in that
that are contributing out of their
owD pocket sums ranging from
$500 to $1,000 to help the work.
along. They believe the good
road adds that value to their farms
When the people everywhere learn
to look at the road question i'm
that light, the present tax on food
production caused by the miserable
condition of the majority of country
roads, will have been removed
One interesting result of these Me-,
braska experiments. was the show
ing that earth roads can be success
fully built for 80 cents a square
yard, thus demonstrating that the
back roads can be built without in
curing a prOhibitive cost for ex-
pensive material and construction.
The more labor costs, the more,
necessary good roads become. In
the days when farm help was
abundant and cheap. it did not
make so much difference if the
fern hand took all dsy to truck
material to the railroad station that
should 90 in half that time over
hard roads. But when farm help
is so scarce and high priced, it be-
comes necessary to have the best
facilities for transportation.
