The dry weather has reduced the
pasture to marked degree. AS re-
suit many dairy cows are not retaining
the usual flow of milk. These are
busy days on the farm and there is q
tendency to neglect the dairy side OF
the farm work. However it is mis-
take to permit dairy cows to fall in
the milk flow at this time of the sea-
son as it is very difficult to bring the
cows back to normal conditions after
they have once had a set back.
Some farmers are now feeding en-
silage and giving the pasture rest.
This is an excellent method of man
agement where ensilage is at hand. A
few farmers have made provision for
a shortage Of pasture by seeding some
forage crop, cane or corn which they
are now cutting for the dairy cattle.
This is supplemented by some grain.
AS soon as the pasture begins to give
out it is a good policy to provide a
grain ration in order to keep up the
flow of milk Farmers who have found
it impossible, owing the rush season
of work, at this time of year to care
for dairy stock have arranged their
farming methods so as to have the
cows freshen in the early fall and
practically finish the lactation period
for the summer season.
The dairy industry is returning fair
margin of profit under careful man
agement and it is good plan to spend
a little time and effort in improving
that source of farm income

Inventor Of the Income Tax.

The real inventor Of our modern
income tax was one of those unbusi-
nessllke dons Of Oriel college, at
whom It has long been the custom
to scoff for being children" In finan-
cial affairs. This unpopular impost
was suggested to Pitt by DR.. Henry
Beeke, a fellow of Oriel and profess
sor Of modern history at Oxford, who
afterward constantly assisted Van
sittart with the budget during that
statesman's long tenure Of the chan
cellorship Of the Observation-Disclosures
Times. .

His warning comes in a letter to
A. c. Thomas. member of the Chi

Farmers will not continue to pro-
duce crops at loss and under, pres
ent conditions. All kinds. of meat
and grain products are being sold at
prices that lose money to the farmer.
"The worm has turned, CONNER
cial agriculture is at end, it cannot go
on-with the high cost of inefficient
labor, short hours and other unfavor-
able conditions. There are millions
of acres of depopulated farms in New
York because those who farmed the
lands sold the fertility off without
replacing anything. The low price
of products prevented the purchase
of necessary fertilizer.
"In parts of Colorado the iarm Ia
Dor situation is so serious that farm
ers are doing only such work as can
be accomplished by themselves and
their families. Great tracts are be-
ing sown to grass. On, farm | know
of formerly produced $4,000 bushels
of potatoes and 5000 bushels of
wheat.
"Now, $500 food consumers must
look elsewhere for potatoes and
1000 others must seek new supplies
of bread
"Housekeepers' boycotts will not
change these conditions. The 35,-
100000 people who derive their sup
port from agriculture will rise up
and assert their independence in a

700 Democratic Delegates
Will Favor Modification.

Chicago, June 1S.-Walker w.
Wick of New York, campaign mana
ger for Gov. f. |. Edwards of New
Jersey, in Chicago today on his way
to San Francisco, declared i'll a
statement that there would be mot
less than 700 delegates in the demo-
cratic national convention in favor
of modification of the Volstead
act, permitting the use OF ligh. wines
and beers i'll such states as wish to
do so, with state control of regula-
ton under a general and liberal fed
eral act"
Opposition to the eighteenth
amendment is not today a political
ISSUE" Mr.. Vick's statement said,
but the Volstead act is open to
amendment as has been pointed out
by Governor Edwards and by such
a distinguished republican authority
as Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
"The Volstead act is so extreme
that it has placed in the criminal
class millions of women who make
of the home grown fruit light wines
for domestic use and millions of
farmers who make and mature cider
from their own orchards. 1t places
under ban millions OF our of our
citizens who, for generations, have
regarded light wines and beers as
much a part of their daily food as
the bread upon their tables
Evil consequences have followed
the enactment of this unw:se and
undemocratic law. Moonshining has
grown twenty-fold. 1t has come
down out of the mountains into the
plains and even into the towns and
cities. Disrespect of the law and
the bribery of state and federal
agents of enforcement are every
where in overwhelming evidence. In
place of the harmless light wines
and beers, we have the increasing
use of the harmful liquors in illicit
trade.
THE democratic party is going to
call halt, on this and rescue the
country from hands OF 4 fanatical
whose numerical weakness
is shown every time they show
seperate fight. The platform will be
clear, fundamentally democratic,
and, I hope, brief. It
will embody one sentiment which
ought to be taught in every school
house in the country. That is, re-
spect for the president OF he United
