in a ten-year period 1t will produce

Land Raised
This brings out the fact that in
my experience that I have never
known farmer to get rich or well
fixed by the production of his farm
He became Independent in a small
way after period of from ten to
thirty years of constant hard work
and industry, but his money was all
made in the rise in value Of his land.
Let us now look into things that
have brought about the. condition
with which we. are confronted.
i.sE4l -gsH4f rs.. 4fs.a ..+ IS l. 800
The change. commenced with the
rural free delivery. Up to that time
the farmer read very little, he took
very few papers and they were usu-
ally the weekly or monthly farm
publications Of very Indifferent char
acter, which were run mostly for the
advertisements they could get. With
the coming of the rural free deliv-
cry the great daily papers saw q vir-
gin field and sent their subscription
men into the country. The result
was that nearly. every farmer took a
first class paper and had it delivered
to. his door every day. During the
winter months, when he had time,
he formed the habit Of reading it,
and when his busy season came he
always managed to look over it at
mealtime or after supper.
Digest Reading Matter
He began to follow events chron-
icled therein, and, unlike his city
brother, he digested what he read.
Where the city man glanced hurried
ly at the headlines and hurried to
his work, which occupied his mind,
the farmers work was mostly man
ual and his mind was unoccupied, so
as he sat on his pillow or harrow he
over what the had read and
it started him to thinking. Then
came the drive by the farm journals
and periodicals, and they found their
way into every home because they
purported to deal with farm prob
lens. The object of most of these
was to secure as large
a circulation as possible, because on
the size Of their circulation depend
I'd the rate or their advertising
charges. and that was the chief
source of their income Therefore
hey charged but a nominal price for
The publication, the theory being
hat the farmer would not buy I'M
ess it was cheap. Many of these
went to subscribers for
rs or so cents year.
The result was that outside of
market reports and such stock opin-
ons as were given out by the big
grain men and packing interests,
hese papers contained little of value
o the farmer as the publisher could
lot afford to pay the rates received
~ first class writer's. The result
vas they became the medium
through which every crank and the
'rist who could not get his stuff in a
irst class publication found an out
ct for his expressions.
Realized Situation
His words fell on fertile soil, for
he farmer had begun to realize that
lie was not being compensated in

MuSt Have NbOFe ray
His wife and family demanded the
modern conveniences for the house
as we'll as for the barn and the field,
so we find many modern conven-
fences and many places equipped
with electricity, running water and
bath. The new methods and crops
have furnished the margin which has
paid for these, but the farmer is
still confronted with the old problem
Of marketing. He knows that he
is not getting paid In proportion to
the capital, energy and brains he is
putting into his business. He has
educated himself to the point where
he knows what his trouble is, but
he does not know how to get away
from it; his every effort in this d.
rection has, somehow, fallen short
Of the results he believed it would
secure. He still has to ask when he
comes to the produce market, what
are you paying hor hogs?" or wheat
or whatever It Is that he produces.
No matter what he produces, 1t is
what are you paying for it,"

By J. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO June 2s.-Secre-
tary OF State cambridge Colby will
direct the Administration forces
against the League OF Nations Of
fensive OF William Jennings Bryan
and Senator David /. Walsh OF Mas
sschusetts, 1t was announced today
The substitution of Senator Robinson
OF Arkansas for Colby as permanent
chairman OF the convention was
agreed upon by Administration lead
ers, after President Wilson expressed
a desire that the former progressive
whip be allowed to act as the Ad-
ministration floor leader In the pend
ing league battle, II was stated.
Supporters of The President declare
they are confident that Colby, whose
forensic skin has carried him through
many a hot political connict VIII
prove the match of either Bryan or
Walsh, endowed though both are with
unusual oratorical and fghting quail
ties.
The theatrical verbal clash between
Colby, as the Presidents spokesman.
md Bryan and Walsh, who contend 1t
would be Suicidal" for the Demo
cratic party to indorse the Administra-
ton league plank drafted by Senator
Carter, Glass OF Virginia, approved by
the President. promises to proVide
one of the most dramatic and tense
situations of the convention. .,-
Colby. who before he left Washing-
ton as head of the District OF Columr
bia delegation, had a long conference
with the President, declares that not
only is the sentiment of the country
preponderantly in favor of the league
of nations, but 1t is in favor OF the
league without reservations.
Through Colby, the President him-
self will address the convention on
the league of nations, Bryan ana
walsh say. The Massachusetts, Sen
fator will tell the convention that the
e'Republican party's highest hope OF
Victory is that we will endorse the
league policy Of the President"
Bryan, like Walsh, will argue that
the treaty should be ratified only with
those safeguarding reservations for
which not only a large proportion OF
Republican Senators voted, but which
twenty-one Democratic Senators sup
ported.
The Administration leaders predict
Bryan and Walsh and other oppoents
of the Presidents league plank will
,be overwhelmingly defeated in the
resolution committee. which is ex-
pected to organize today, and also
on the convention floor.

SOLDIERS PROTEST.
W.B.&A.FARE RAISE
Camp Meade Men Fear Boost
Will Keep Visitors Away,
Says ]. r. RiggIes.

-Four thousand soldiers stationed iet
Camp Meade are protesting the pro-
posed fare raise OF the Washingt On,
Baltimore and Annapolis Elecqic
Railway. according 10 John X. Rtf-
giles. chairman OF. the w, B. and A.
Commuters Club, an organization
made up OF patrons OF the line.
"The proposed new rates woaid
raise the round trip fare from Gannp
Meade to Washington from N.Oo 10
si.54." said Riggles.
The commuters club has asked the
permission OF the commandant rt
Camp Meade to allow some OF the
men to attend the hearing on the pe-
tition for higher rates before the
Maryland Public Service Commission
In Baltimore. at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. to enter a protest as ainst
the raise. a.
"one overseas man told me he codid
not pay more than the present raSc,
and that he would have to give pp
visiting his people II the raise laies
into effect" said Riggles. The Hen
also are afraid that visitors WI ict
feel able to go TO the camp so often.
and that the raise will be a 'hoodoS.
This fare raise Is a serious matter
for Camp Meade. 1t probably W9h
have an effect on the number OF en-
listments. Many men there now vent
to France and did their part and they
should receive better treatment from
a railroad that is prosperous and paid
tn per cent dividends last year. 30

against the fare we want them repro-

ON LATE BALLOT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-The
New York delegation of ninety men
and women today entered conception
hall pledged to cast its first ballot for
Gov. Alfred e. Smith.
However, there was a strong un-
dercurrent of talk for William G. Nc
Adioo as the actual candidate of the
New Yorkers.
Many OF the leaders expressed the
opinion that the work of the conven-
tion would be completed by Wednes-
day night or Thursday, at the latest.
"The talk for McAdoo is stronger
than ever before; the program has all
been settled before the call to order
sounds" one of the delegates de-
clared.
The wet" plank for the party plat
form was carefully avoided during
the caucus held at New York head
quarters last night.

owed to the United States.
Extreme reticence is being observed
in ofacial quarters here toward all

the plan. Its promoters. it is believed,
prefer to launch ii as a bombshelI at

will be only unofficially represented

1t is not believed that actual repu-
