Saturday With a View to

NO EXCUSE FOR AN

New England States Need
Better Organization to
Promote Work

Waterbury, Oct. 25.--The meeting at
| the Vermont state hospital Saturday
| afternoon was one of ~ held in New
England under the auspices OF the
| New England Holstein Breeders club,
cooperating with the state assoca-
tions and the extension service of the
Holstein Association of America. This
meeting, as well as the others, was
for the purpose of acquainting Hol-
stein owners with the advantages of
having an extension man who win de-
vote all his time to the interests of
New England.
Prominent men present were D. d.
Aiken of Flint, Mich, president of
the Holstein Friesian Association of
America; Prof w. VI. Rider. of the
extension service; II. ID. koenig and
+. j. Pollock of Chicago; O. l.. Martin
master OF the state grange, and Coun.
ty Agent Briggs.
Supt. E. A. Stanley. NJ. d., presided
and introduced the speakers Presi-
dent Aitken, who is as enthusiastic
as can be and has much to say for
the Holstein breed, spoke of the prob
lens of dairying and the part of put
ting confidence in the Holstein Friesian
breed. He pointed out that it was mp
to the dairymen to use the best meth |
DDS and best cows in order To produce |
milk. There is no excuse for an I'M
profitable COW and no incentive for a |
boy to remain on the farm if methods |
not profitable are used COW is the |
machine upon which the farmer of Yer !
mont most looks for profit. Seventy |
five per cent of the gross receipts OF |
the state of Vermont are from dairy !
products.
The New England states combined
have about twice as many Holsteins
as Minnesota, grown famous for that
breed Burt Minnesota succeeds
through organization three years ago.
The same results can be secured here.
Much interest has already been shown
in the meetings held by owners Of

To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor OF Inc IrlOunc:
Sir: Among the numerous serious
and intricate problems which are facing
Sac nation in this critical period none
perhaps so closely and directly involves
the welfare of the American people as
= whole as the problem of the present
economical situation. Hence, if the Re-
publican party is to receive the support
of the people it must adopt definite
specific policy for the effective solution
Of this enormous question and the re-
instatement of economic conditions to
their normal pre-war basis.
The present Situation can be traced
to four direct causes. namely-innation
Of prices. decreased production, the
struggle between capital and labor and
extravaganza on the part of both gov
ernment and people.
The problem of defation is difficult
one. 1t is probable that ultimately the
Federal Reserve system will prove as
effective in def1ation as it was in infla-
ton before the war. This, however, is
uncertain and, at all events, cannot ac-
eomplish the desired result soon
enough. Exactly what must be done to
accomplish defation speedily and ef-
fectively is q question which the con-
certed efforts of Americas greatest
economists alone can solve. For it
must be remembered that "it takes a
long time to def1ate the worlds inflated
currencies and initiate it's debated sup
ply Of goods" unless some extraor-
dinary means are resorted to. 1t is
one Of the manys big tasks dependent
upon the Republican party.
