of producing the necessities of life.
blood in their veins will stand being
told they must labor long hours at
Inadequate pay in order that another
class may have shorter hours and
higher wages. Even the faithful
farmer, who has always produced
sufficient food for all, feels he has
about reached the limit, and that no
lahoring man of the city should find
fault If he applies the same rule that
his city brother has taught him.
why is it that over half our
farms have mortgages on them, and
that two-thirds are worked by rent
ers? When a class of men demand
a higher wage although their labor
does not earn it, some one else must
pay, and they become dishonest prof
iteers.
I'VE here challenge the city la
borer to q cost accounting that all
the world may see who earns his
wage. Let there be an authoritative
cost accounting Of farm products and
a wage scale for labor the base of
which shall be its earning power.
Wheat was 81 bushel, one bush
el paid for a days work. Wheft,
by government fiat, is now $226 a
bushel, and it now requires from two
to three bushels to pay labor for one
days work. Again when wool was
80 cents a pound. allowing four
pounds for a suit of clothes, the
farmer received for the product
$1.20. Figuring the cost of a suit
Of clothes at $40 g days labor at
$3.50 per day paid for a suit. To-
day wool is So cents a pound, four
pounds bringing $3.50, the amount
received by the farmer. The same
suit of clothes is now $40 and the
laborer can obtain a suit by eight
days of labor at $500 per day.
These comparisons will hold good
with every farm product"

class is a balance-wheel which keeps
our civilization standing upright
when the cities are in fearful tur-
moil Just at present, the farmers
OF the United States are in a very
real sense a balance-wheel for the
entire world. The farmer of the
middle west can swing the world
toward social revolution, toward a
return to the old capitalistic system,
toward happy medium.
But if the farmer is going to have
Voice in improving our industrial
and social system, he has got to give
much more thought to outside mat
ters than he has in the past. The
chief reason why he has been a bal
ance-wheel in the past is that be-
cause of his training, temperament,
the nature of his business, and his
isolation, he has not been carried off
his feet by popular clamor. He is
removed from mob psychology. He
thinks more clearly, moves more
slowly than the city man, and is not
so easily stampeded. He has been
disposed to so along steadily and not
worry over the turmoil which oc-
casionally breaks cut in the cities,
assuming that it does not affect him
directly
Now we have come to a time
when, if the farmer is to continue
to be a balance-wheel he must be
something more than a large body
which moves slowly. He must think
some things through and take his
stand The proposed Matchmaking
OF the railways, for example. And
the many suggestions which look to-
ward a paternalistic form of govern
ment rather than democratic, such
as we have had in the past.
The tendency just now is to make
the farmer football. He is not
consulted No particular attention
is paid to his views. 1t is therefore
a time for clear thinking On his part

SLACKERS

During the war man was consid-

failed to back up with his money

err is an ugly word and any red

the war, what is farmer who fails
to back up the representatives of the
farm organizations, who are fighting
his battles at the national capital?
In this reconstruction period a per-
Sistent and vigorous fight must be
made to safeguard the interests of
the farmers against the selfish de-
mands of capital and other organized

AS President Wilson has clearly
explained, the league of nations cove
nant was made a part of the peace
treaty because without such league
it would be impossible to enforce the
terms of the treaty upon Germany. If
the United States does not join the
league and coalition should be
lformed between Germany and Rus
STA, England, France and Italy would
be unable to cope with this alliance,
and the United States would in all

High-CIass Turf:

Aided by the Department of Agri-
culture, through its experts on grass
planting and cultivation, the Ban

for putting greens to be the peer of
any in this section of the country.
Unfortunate in the past three years
because OF q, lack of availa BILE water
to put on the putting green's and
handicapped during all last year by
inability to obtain grass seed and

The man responsible for the coming
regeneration at Bannockburn is DR.
Thomas J. W Brown. last year presf-
dent of The District Golf Association.
Two years ago when DR.. Brown asked
the board of governors of the cluo
for authority to use little strip OF

Club Members to Gudge.

DR. Brown plans to plant the edges
of a few of the green's at Bannock
burn early in the coming spring with
the turf developed by this method in
his garden and let the club MEM
bers Judge for themselves of the
excellence of the turf. Then he is
confident that he will obtain full per-
mission to enlarge his garden and
develop from 1t enough high class
turf TO grow the proper amount of
grass on all of the greens at Ban
nockburn.
Last year, through inability to
obtain labor and seed, that ever
present summer pest of golf com
mittees, the crab grass, got in the
greens at Bannockburn and spread
through the hot months, entirely
enguIfing the more tender grasses.
When the first heavy frost came the
crab grass died, and with the better
grades of grass killed by the crab,
large bare spots began to appear on
the greens. This is what the greens
committee has had to contend with,
and DR. Brown believes that if the
greens can be properly treated with
his vegetation method, and the crab
grass taken out when it starts in
early summer and kept out, Bannock-
burn will have green's second to none
in two or three years.
