COUNTY BREED DIRECTORIES
Catalogues Are Valuable in Identify
ing Owners and Effective in
Promoting Sales.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Indexing counties as TO dominant
breed of live stock maintained, through
the use OF county breed directories,
has won great favor in Iowa, where
several years ago Linn county inaugu-
rated this work. Such catalogues are
valuable in identifying the owners of
different breeds and are effective in
promoting sales and in attracting
prospective purchasers to the locality.
They constitute relatively perma-
nent form of advertising, as ordinar-
lily they are kept for future reference
by those who receive them. The di-
rectories are best issued under the
authority of county live stock breed
ers association or the local farm bu-
reau. Ordinarily the expenses of these
booklets are raised by the sale of ad-
vertising space to breeders. Practi-
cally any rural printing office can put
out creditable productions of this
class.

the per capita production of nearly all
the important crops, but also, accord
ing 10 recent report, in the number
of cattle and swine per capita. More
over, estimates for milk, eggs, and
poultry indicate an increase in per
capita production during the war. In
view Of these facts it probably would
be unwise to stimulate large increase
in the per capita farm acreage at the
present time especially where such an
Increase would have to be effected by
utilizing land which is inferior or
which would be made available at a
heavy outlay for drainage, irrigation
or clearing.
Land Settlement Problems.
"At present various private agencies
are engaged in promoting land settle-
ment. Many of them are honest in in
tention, promise and practice; others
keep within the letter of the law but,
through exaggeration and indirection
of statement, create false Impressions
in the mind of the settler. Many vio-
late no canon of fair business practice,
but their interest is in profits, and
they do not pursue a policy calculated
to develop a profitable and wholesome
community life. Only few have made
careful studies of the conditions OF
successful settlement and developed
their business with view to the set
tiers progress and success. Practi-
cally all are seeking to realize the.
highest possible price for their unde-
veloped holdings, and the settler Is
compelled to face the problem of adj
justment to pioneer conditions while
carrying a burden Of land value which
often represents, in part, the capital
ization of a future increase in earning
power.
"The intending settler of small
means is rarely able to distinguish be-
tween the good and bad methods of
selling land in new regions. The more
INSCRIPTIONS the land company the
more lurid it's advertisement and the
more extravagant it's promises. Set
tiers often are induced to invest all
their savings in land not suitable for
successful farming, to purchase more
land in relation to the capital available
for Development than they should, or
to undertake projects the cost of clear
ing or reclamation of which will prove
to be prohibitive. The results in many
instances have been tragic failures af-
ter years of incredible hardships, waste
of capital and of human lives, discOur-
agement of intending settlers and in
Jury to the business of legitimate and
well-meaning land concerns.
"It would be desirable if govern
mental agencies, by systematic aid,
should furnish reliable information to
those seeking farms, should take par
ticular pains, through their agricul-
tural machinery, to give rev settlers
very special assistance and guidance,
and, where conditions are favorable,
should aid in the development Of we'll
considered settlement plans"

COMMUNITY BREEDING PLANS
Farmers in Certain Section Agree to
Stick to One Breed and Use
Purebred Sires.

Community breeding simply means
that the farmers in certain COM
munity agree to do two things:
First, to breed but one breed of cat
tie, sheep or hogs.
Second: They agree to use none but
purebred sires, these sires being own
ed either individually or collectively.
Everyone is absolutely free to do as
he pleases just so long as he sticks to
one class of stock and uses purebred
sire. These ideas can best be carried
out if the farmers are organized in a
body and get together at stated perl
DDS.

If the Chicago Federation of Labor
was seeking way to "get in bad" it
could not have found better one than
in it's action indorsing the work of
Emma Goldman and Berkman and an
nouncing its opposition to the depor-
tation of aliens who are members of
any union affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. No such
braZen demand for the exemption of
any "class" from punishment for
crime was ever heard, at least in
America. The decent citizens of
America, who after all form the vast
majority in the country, have shown
plainly that they are tired of the al
len radicals and their vicious activi-
ties, and the sooner union labor rec
OgniZes that fact, the better for it.
As might have been expected, William
q. Foster, erstwhile apostle of syn
dicalism and sabotage and organizer
of the fizzled out steel strike, support
ed the anti-deportation movement in
the Chicago meeting. 1t is planned to
extend throughout the land the plan
to save union men from "banishment
and exile"
A recent example of the work OF the
radicals was revealed when the army
transport America bringing the peace
commission from France, docked at
Hoboken with IL members of the
crew in irons charged with mutiny
and other crimes. The troubles, which
broke out on the eastward trip. were
instigated by bolshevik and I. w. w.
agitators.

Great Britain will never consent to
separation of Ireland from the en-
pire, but is willing to give it the larg-
est possible measure of self-govern-
ment and to give this at once. Such
was the statement of premier Lloyd
George to parliament, and he then
proceeded to give an outline Of the
home rule bill which the government
will introduce when parliament reas-
semDies. The measure will create two
legislatures somewhat on the Amer
lean model, one for the southern part
of Ireland and the Roman Catholic
part of Ulster, and the other for
Protestant Ulster. Above them will be
the council of Ireland, elected by the
two legislatures. The latter bodies
have the power to combine at any
time without the consent of the Brit
ish parliament. All powers not re-
served to the imperial British parlia-
ment are given to the legislatures.
These reserved powers include peace
and war, foreign affairs, the army and
navy, defense, treason. trade outside
of Ireland, navigation, wireless and
cable, coinage, trade marks, light
houses, and the appointment of the
higher judiciary until the legislatures
agree on a plan for the appointment
of judges. Also reserved are the in
come tax, customs and excise, but
the excise may be reclaimed by Ire
land by agreement of the legislatures
Ireland is to collect all of the taxes
and retain all but fair contribution
to the imperial expenses.

Admiral Sims, who commanded
Americas naval fighting forces in the
war, started what may develop into
q real navy scandal when he declined
to accept the Distinguished Service
medal awarded him by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels. The admiral. in
his letter to the secretary, accused the
latter Of injustice and discrimination
in making up the list of those to re-
ceive medals and navy crosses, and
expressed his indignation at the giving
of the medal to swivel chair officers
and to officers who lost their vessels
at sea under circumstances that might
not be to their credit, while it was
refused to others who displayed great
bravery and gallantry in combat
Many of the latter, recommended for
the decoration by Admiral Sims and
approved by the board of awards,
were cut from the list by Mr.~Daniels.
The admiral said such injustice would
go far toward destroying the morale
of the navy and he did not.wish to
countenance>it by accepting the medal
awarded to him.
Secretary Daniels said there was no
basis for the charge of favoritism,
that he was determined to decorate
every commander of torpedoed ship
his son-in-law, Commander Bagley,
is in that category-and that the list
is not yet closed. 1t was said in
Washington that the admiral's action
was very likely to bring about con-
gressional investigation of the whole
matter

One Who Ought to Know

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell ought to
know something about telephones and
it is generally admitted that he does.
Recently while in England 1.-THE
Times" asked him to give his opinion
of the relative efficiency Of the service
over there and that in the United
States. and this is his reply:
Il do not want 10 say too much
about it. I think you do very well
but you do not compare well with the
United States and think recent his
tory in the United States reveals the
| cause. We had the best system of
telephony in the world before the war
| in the United States. Then we came
into the war, the telephone was taken
out Of the hands of private companies
and run by the Government. Immedi.
ately the efficiency Of the service fell
Now the control has been returned to
the companies and ! hope the eff.
cheney will improve. The decrease In
efficiency in consequence of Govern
ment ownership is found elsewhere.
N1oitCu <1u0ti dild SOAJC yC4I6 aSO dIu
the telephone system, which was ir
the hands Of the Government, could
not be compared to ours in America
am afraid that the comparatively
| low state OF efficiency in this country
as compared with our system in tho
United States must be attributed to
Government ownership. Government
ownership aims at oheapness, and
cheapness does not necessarily mean
efficiency"
war conditions was the thorough
demonstration of the inefficiency OF
government management. 1t should
be the means Of saving us lot OF
trouble in the future.
