FRENCH CROPS f

o PRE.WAR RECORD
French Peasants Have Very Success.
Crop Year In Devastated
Regions of France.

This years crops in the invaded re-
gions of France will exceed pre-war
production. A cable received today by
the French Commission nthe United
States says:
Owing to the intese effort of the
peasants In recultivating their fields,
and helped by good season. the de-
vastated regions are now able to feed
themselves for the first time since
1914.
Official reports of the office of Arri-
cultural Reconstruction show that
is2O cereal crops-wheat, barley, rye
and oats-will be 11,57S,00O quintals
against 2O,500,000 Quintals before the
war The wheat crop alone is close to
100000 puintals and oats over $780,
600 quintals. Zone quintal equals
22O' pounds.) The beet crop will total
l4,427,0O0 quaintals. potato crop s.
$4,000 quihtals, making the total
nearly 20 million quintals of these
products. of almost 100000 quintals
above pre-war production.
Not only in quantity but quality the
1920 crops are excellent, the yield per
hectare being unusually heavy.
Throughout the agricultural section
fthe devastated regions huge stacks
OF unthreshed wheat are seen in every
direction while field after field of
boots await harvest.
Official figures show the remarkable
results in agriculture accomplished
since the armistice. OF 1,757,777 hec-
tares to be reconditioned, 1,619,9O2
hectares had been levelled and clear
ed of debris by September 1st while
on the same date 1,197,7O4 hectares
had received their first blowing. The
total area sown ncereals during the
1920 season was 716,442 hectares or so
per cent OF the grain area of the in
vaded regions before the war. The
area sown in beets, potatoes and other
root products in 1920 was 245,136 hec-
tares, making the total cultivated area
961,57S hectares.
France is encouraging the use of
machines, particularly tractors; and
farmers are today using $500 tractors
where scarcely hundred were used
in 1914. The governments financial
aid to farmers totals about 1000 ,0OO,-

FOR ELEMENTARY HISTORY
TEXTBOOKS, SAYS DIR. JOHNSON

sewing machine was the beginning of an
industrial revolution which took the pro-
duction of clothing from the hands of
housewives into immense factories where
the work is now done by power driven
machines. Alexander Graham Bell proved
that ii was almost as easy for a man in
New York to speak with friend in San
Francisco as to talk with the clerk in
his own office. Eli Whitney's cotton gin
transformed the cotton industry. And
these are only few fragments from the
field of like achievements. Furthermore.
they represent but a single branch of the
whole subject.
The Foreign Element.
"Your teaching only political history is
all wrong, for a curious thing about
American history is that it has been made
in large part without the Intervention
series of revolts against unjust laws. The
life of the frontier was based on as little
government as possible. Each community
was, because of its isolation, largely a law
unto itself, founded on the principles of
justice to the majority. Our industrial
and commercial life eXpends of itself, un-
less it becomes necessary for the govern
ment to aid or protect it, as has been the
case in the last few years, and even then
that interference reacts to modify govern
ment. The greatest factors in historical
development evolve from the social and
industrial life of the people, and this
phase is only lightly touched on, IL at all,
in, our present textbooks of history"
And what of our foreigners? They
seem just now to be a disturbing element.

edge of American history would be a

Federal Board for Vocational Education.
Agriculture is a big subject. including such
divisions as marketing and gardening,
animal husbandry, forestry and general
farming. nj each one OF these divisions
the disabled men are specializing in one
of its branches.
The Federal Board wants every disabled
man who chooses agriculture as his voca-
ton to get the very best foundation
possible for future success. Training a
man on the job will do in some vocations,
but in agriculture the Board has ruled
that he must first be given the funda-
mentals of it in school.
Placement training on the work itself
may follow for sixty or ninety days when
the course in school is completed. in order
to give the man the actual experience
which is sometimes needed to impress
upon him the theoretical significance
which he has already been taught.
