THE BURDEN BEARERS

''Now, more than over. at the be-
winning of the period of reconstruc-
ton, with his machinery worn out,
the farmer needs money for replace
monts and to improve his stock.
The farmer must be enabled to
borrow money more easily. He must
have money to buy tractors and
trucks to reach his market direct.
Twenty years ago with two small
horses I could reach but 100000 peo-
pie. Ten years later with a better
team L could reach 100000. Today
with q two-ton truck l can reach g.
100000 people.
THE farmers are getting despe-
rate over the middleman. l predict
that before long the farmers will
themselves finance and run markets
and strings of stores in the towns
and cities, and with endless lines of
trucks pour their produce right into
the laps of the consumers.
But in this the people must CO.
operate. They must do their own
marketing, thereby cutting out de-
livery charges; stop using the tele-
phone so much for ordering and
be less Wasteful with food
"The farmer is willing to do his
part toward bringing prices down,
but he demands cooperation from the
rest of the DaODle"

Little relief from the high cost of
living may be expected from the
American farmer until something is
done to relieve the farmer of some
of his burdens, according to H. w.
Collingwood, editor of the Rural New
Yorker, practical farmer and foremost
authority on agricultural questions.
Collingwood put all the blame for
high food prices on the people who
live in the towns and cities, from the
bankers down to the long-suffering
housewife.
Half of. the people in the United
States are engaged in agriculture, and
their total capital amounts to more
than $4,000, 100000. Farming is our
greatest single industry, and yet no
industry gets a worse deal when it
comes to raising money than agri
culture" says Collingwood.
I'm spite of the rural credits sys-
tenn, and in spite of the farmers loyal
labor during the war, the average
bankers idea of financing the farmer
is limited to the country money
lenders conception of a three-year
loan on a gilt-edge mortgage. And at
the slightest sign of distress on the
part of the farmer, the banker sWoOps
down and takes the land away from

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FARM
PROGRESS

1t is gratifying to note an increas-
ing interest in the cultivation of al
falfa in the south. For a long time
1t was thought we could not grow
this crop successfully, judgment to
this effect being based on the large
number of failures to secure a sat
.sfactory stand. Our later success
with alfalfa is a beautiful illuStra-
lion of the power and benefit which
agricultural research and extension
teaching has conferred upon our
people. We now know that the large
humber of failures with alfalfa were
due to the neglect of two or three
essential matters. The first of these
was failure to inoculate the soil
with the bacteria which live in the
little white nodules that develop on
the roots of healthy alfalfa plants
These microscopic organisms give
alfalfa it's power to assimilate nitro
gen out of the air. The air is sup
piled with an inexhaustible amount
Of this element. Alfalfa can not do
without a much larger amount of it
than the soil contains.
1t is one of those marvellous pro-
visions of nature which enables man,
through the cultivation of certain
crops, to build up his soil in ele-

The time has about arrived for fill
ine sIoc-has quite arrived for
building additional ones if moro
space is needed.
Materials arc high, Tt may be
question with the individual farmer
whether he can afford to build silo
this year.
Realizing that possibility, the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
believes that many men may be IN
clined to give too much weight to
construction costs aGd not enough 20
advantages of the silo ought at least
to be restated
Advantages OF siIos.
Here are some of the outstanding
pointssin what the departments dairy
specialists think of silos:
In general, more COW feed can be
grown on an acre of ground in corn
than sin any other crop.
When put in a silo it is more cas-
lily harvested and cared for than any
other crop.
Silage operations are absolutely in
dependent of weather conditions.
Corn for silage can be harvested in
the rain.
The siIo makes possible full utiliza-
tion of corn that otherwise would be
u6SlIOyGU OI NY IiCol'
The SilO makes it poTSlo!e TO k@6n
more animals on a given acreage,
which means more '17nuro nnd con-
stantly increased soil fertility.
Harvesting corn as si1age clears
the ground early so it can be pre-
pared for other crops.
With silage it is not necessary to
put so many acres in hay.
In any other form Il considerable
portion of the feeding value is lost
Corn cured as fodder loses about
40 per cent of its feeding value.
About 35 per cent of corn fodder is
wasted in feeding.
Only about per cent of corn ST.
lage is wasted in feeding.
In other silage crops, Weedy growth
that would not be eaten at all as hay
is all eaten as silage.
Saved in any other form. feeds be-
come, in a measure, less palatable and
less nourishing.

Case the Strangest Justice
Gould Has Heard-May
Go to Jury Tonight.

Is Charles Ross Webster. who is
charged with the murder Of Richard
Duvall on the evening" OF June I
and who one week later gave De-
tective Ed. Kelly an accurate con-
fession OF his deed. a man Of or
dinary intelligence?
Or is Webster a mental and moral
deficient. possessing the brain OF
10 oe-5-year-old child. who accidentally
shot Richard Duvall as he sat beside
him in clump OF bushes out near
Trinity College, Brookland.
These are the questions which a
jury sitting in Criminal Division No.
I. District Supreme Court. will have
to answer this afternoon when JUS
tice Gould charges them with the
case of Webster, who has been on
trial for the murder OF Duvall since
Monday.
Unique Trial
On their decisio rests the fate OF
Webster a, former overseer at
the Trinity College. who stands in
dicted for murder in the first degree.
Incidentally, their verdict also will
close unique murder trial. Justice
Gould remarked yesterday that he
had not had similar case in the
twenty years in which he has been
on the bench.
When the case reopens this morn
ing Assistant District Attorney Bo-
litha J. Laws will take one hour to

examined Webster as to his physical,

that the defendant has a mind which
is equivalent TO that Of a child 10 2-s
years old.
The other was Mrs. NJ. o. Web

ANSWER TO WILSON

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 9.-Ths
order for a nationwide coal strike
for Friday cannot be rescinded.
This was cheered tonight by the
eighty-four representatives Of the
United Mine Workers OF America
who spent the day in conferences,
1t was their answer TO President
Wilson's demand that the striks
order be recalled.
The issue has been made and it
must be settled upon the SeId Of

ment addressed to the public. 'Rs-

bsrons alone"
means that unless the operstors
yield at the last hour or the gov
ernment comes forward with soma
final plan that both sides VIII ae-
cept, so per cent Of the bituminous
coal mines OF the nation will sus-
pend operations November l. Aore
than $1,000 miners will be affected.
The consequent loss OF production
is estimated at 100000 tons per
month.
Something like 70 per cent OF the
coal miners OF the country are
members OF the union. John L.
Lewis. acting president. estimates
that at least 5 per cent OF the re-
msinder will be forced out OF work
because Of the suspension in mines
where more than half workers are
organized.
When the meeting was sdjournsd
and the union officials fled out q
was stated that not a dissenting

A European monarch. the first 20
set foot on the coil of the United
States. yesterday honored the shrine
of all lovers of democracy when AL
bert, King of the Belgians, laid a
wreath of flowers on the grave Of
Washington, the foe of monarchies
as his time knew them.
But times have changed since
Washington directed the great strug-
gle that spelled the future downfall
of autocracy, and yesterday it was
a democrat. though a monarch. who
paid tribute to the Father OF the
American Republic and freedom, at
Mount Vernon.
This was dominating thought of
/ the small assemblage that stood with
barred heads during the brief and
simple ceremony. In a few words,
uttered in a voice that rang with
sincerity. the soldier-King eulogized
the man whose principles he has
stood b. so steadfastly.
Mount Vernon was closed to the
public for the day, and only the
royal party with a few guests were
present. The trip down the Potomac
was made on the Presidents yacht,
Ma yf1ower.
Red Cross Honored.
Earlier in the day the royal party
visited the national headquarters of
the Red Cross and the king and his
son later took in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing while the
queen was motoring with Mrs. Will
son, wife of the President.
Albert and Elizabeth more than
once have shown that their appre-
citation for the work of the Red
Cross is thoroughly sincere, but
yesterday it was strikingly demon
strated when an incident brought
tears from Elizabeth's eyes.
This was when Miss Ida NJ. Bas-
sett. director of the Junior Red
Cross of the Potomac Division. told
Elizabeth of the efforts of 100000
