Kentucky; and Norfolk, Virginia,

All investigations of the problems
OF temperature, moisture, soil air and
other physical factors in relation to
plant growth must be completely dis
continued.
Work on insects injurious to the
health OF man, such as yellow fever
and malaria mosquitoes and the house
fly, must be reduced.
Other lines Of activity will have to
be materially curtailed including in
vestigations Of the culture and i'm.
provement Of forage crops, the soil
survey work, studies Of live stock pro-
duction in sugarcane and cotton dis
tricts, work in the control Of the
potato-wart disease, field experiments
IN the construction and maintenance
Of roads.
The above are but a few of the
activities enumerated in the bulle-
tine which will have to be abandoned.
All these reductions are much more
serious than appears from a mere
dollars-and-cents statement. A dol
lar, as we all know, buys much less
OF everything than it formerly bought
and also does considerably less work.
Even if all the appropriations had
been retained at the old figures
therefore, the Department would have
been seriously handicapped in carry

This summary, of course, does not
take into account the projects which

should be inaugurated or expanded
in order to deal more effectively with
important problems in the field of
agriculture.

SEVERAL GOOD PRESIDENTS
WERE ALSO GOOD SOLDIERS

(From the Warenton (Ore.) News.)
Before the war there was a song
which achieved considerable popular
lily among the peace at any price
folks, entitled, 81 didn't raise my boy
Ito be a soldier" and now we have
its echo, possibly from the same
group, in the half baked sentiment,
"We don't want a soldier candidate
for the presidency" The United
States has had the following soldier
presidents since the war of the Re-
bellion: Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Nc
Kinley, Harrison, Roosevelt.
Can you remember that any of
them, at any time, advocated any
measure intended or calculated to
place the military over the civil pow
er of the United States. Taking it
"full and by" for the long term of
years, was not the country prosper
GUS and the government respected at
home and abroad. None of them
were faultless and all of them COM
nitted errors; but they were all ono
hundred per cent Americans, and to
be an American in those days meant
that the flag protected you wherever
you were. We don't think that the
time has come when service for your
country is to be punished by pri-
walton of the right to aspire to the
presidency, nor do we think a nom
partisan business man has clear
road to the White House. The coun-
try is tired of neutral thinkers who
are so self-centered that they demand
the abolition of party lines, without
which no great political good ever
was or ever can be accomplished
