ABANDONED FARM HOMES

Statistics of the 1920 bear out in concrete
what has been apparent for long methat there mark
ed from the country to the towns and that both
rural and the urban districts seriously affected by it,
Estimates show that than 2OOOOOO acres OF farm
land have been abandoned in Michigan alone within few
and is said that the state contains than 900
vacant farm homes Reports from Ohio that about 900
farm houses vacant is believed that other states
will show the proportionate conditions
There number of reasons for the abandonment of
farms not of which is probably convincing to who
believe that farmers should remain in their sphere High

The REIMBURSEMENT of industry will probably mean that
persons who left the farm for unsed work in the fac
tories will be left out of the industries Some Of them will
probably return to the farms .,..
Two serious effects have been produced by the migration
from the farms to the conditions in the towns
and cities have been made decidedly acute and thousands of
farm homes have been abandoned to the elements The bal

Preachmens against leaving the farm will not solve the

made attractive financially and socially the rural

COUNTRY'S ALIENS TO BE
DEPORTED.

Groups of Chinese, Mexicans and
Hindus who are to be deported for
being in this country without proper
authority will start from New York,
Los Angeles and other cities during
the next few days for New Orleans
and San Francisco, from where they
will be sent to their own countries,
according to an announcement of
the Department of LABOR.
A number of the Chinese are sea-
men who have taken advantage of
the freedom permitted under the
seamen's act for aliens to enter and
remain in this country, notwith-
standing the percentage immigration
law and Oriental exclusion act.
The Department is finding is diff
ficult to cope with the flood of
Chinese endeavoring to enter this
country from Cuba and Mexico, it
was stated. They are being gather
ed up in great numbers in the South
and Southwest, it was said.

TAX REVISION BILL DOES NOT
SUIT FARMERS.

A frank admission that the farm
ers Of the country are dissatisfied
with the tax revision bill is made by
Senator Capper, a member of the
joint congressional committee on
agricultural inquiry.
1T cannot be denied the farmers
are dissatisfied with the tax revision
bill, altho I think the senate bill is
an improvement over the house
measure. The farmers are opposed
to the repeal of the excess profits
and higher income surtaxes. The
proposed tax legislation imposes too
much of burden on the farmers
and the small taxpayers.
"The burning issue among the
famers and others of the west, y
continued Senator Capper, sis the
immediate reduction of the exces-
sive toll of railroad freight rates.
I heard this on all sides and from
all conditions of men wherever !
went. Business men and farmers
invaribly had their minds more CEN
tered on this than anything else"

FARMER OF THE FUTURE.

If the Markams of the future are
impelled to break out in lyric lamen-
tation over the physical exertions of
the farmer, it will be of the Man
with the Monkey Wrench instead of
the Man with the Hoe that they will
sing. The back breaking phase of
farming is passing. On larger
farms it has already passed Even
on the smaller farms it is rapidly
going. Like the old-fashioned sail
or-man, the old-fashioned farmer
has had his day.
The up-to-day farmer must have
some knowledge of plumbing; he
must have some knowledge of cleo
tricity; he must have the mechanical
training to know why water pumps,
electric lighting plants and gasoline
engines get out of gear, and he must
have the skill and the tools to apply
the remedies. He must be his own
plumber, his own electrician, and
his own all-around mechanic, in
other words. Perhaps in the future
instead of farmer he will call him
self farm engineer.-Ex.

CANNOT CUT TEACHERS
SALARIES.
Opinion Rendered BY Attorney Gen
eral For Supt. or Education.

opinion Rendered BY Attorney Gem
eral For Supt. or Education.
The County Commissioners in the
State cannot cut down the salaries
of teachers below the minimum fix
ed by the last Legislature regardless
OF what else may be pared down in
the budget. This is the opinion
given by Attorney General Arm.
strong to Geo. H. Reavis, Assistant
State Superintendent of Education.
AS the laws on the subject were in
apparent conflict Mr.. Beavis applied
to the Attorney General for a de-
eision on the subject. One law
names minimum salaries for teach
ers and another law provides that
County Commissioners must ap-
prove the budgets submitted to them
by county boards of education when
the budgets do not call for levy
beyond specified percentage of the
tax assessment.
The Attorney Generals opinion
states that the legislature inten.
ton was to enlarge the minimum
salary, and did not propose any
technical construction Of other acts
should defeat this purpose. He
says it is his view that County Com,
missioners must levy sufficient fund.
to meet the scale of salaries provid.
ed for in this section of the mini
mum salary act. In some of the
counties there are disputes and dis
satisfaction over the question Of
teachers salaries, in places where
reductions have taken place, the
teachers refusing to accept cuts in
their by no means too generous
wage, and declare they will take the
matter of both reduction and bach
pay to the Legislature and there de-
mand redress.

FARM LEGISLATION MUST
SPELL PROSPERITY.

Any program for legislation de-
signed to beget a permanent, stable
prosperity for the farmers must be
in accord with a legislative program
for general industrial prosperity.
This is the corner stone on which
the joint commission of agricultural
inquiry will build its deport to Con-
gress. The first section of this re-
port was ready for Congress when
it re-assembled, and the other Sec
ton is expected to be ready by De-
cember 1.
The most important fact that this
investigation has developed is that
outside of legislation which will re-
move the obstacles that now stand
in the way of successful farm organ
ization, and that will affirmativeIy
give the farmers the same credit
facilities that industry generally
has, there isn't much that legisla-
ton can do. The commission will
emphasize that it must be kept in
mind that the country is prosperous
or unprosperous as a whole. While
you can temporarily legislate i'm
proved conditions for one class or
another in relation to the whole,
you can't have agricultural prosper
ity unless you have general pros
perity. In order to make the farm
err prosperous, in addition to doing
those things that will afford the
farmer adequate facilities for doing
his business, for which the govern
ment can properly furnish the ma
chinery (such as credits you
make the farmer prosperous by do
ing things that make the country
as whole prosper.
So, to be more definite, the COM
mission will recommend:
First-The passage of bill
something like the Volstead- Capper
bill, affirmatively authorizing farm
ers' cooperative unions.
Second-It will recommend legis-
lation that will set up machinery for
furnishing the farmers credit for six
months to three years or more so
as to fill the gap between the long
time credit furnished by the Ma
tional and State banks and the farm
loan organizations. including the
farm loan association, and the short
time CREDIT now furnished by the
National and State banks.

FARMERS RESENT MILK FIGHT.

Resolutions resenting the action
taken by States Attorney Leach and
the grand jury of Baltimore city
against the Maryland State Dairy
mems Association were passed
unanimously by farmers of Balti-
more and Hartford counties at the
annual picnic at Mount Carmel, Bal
timore county.
The farmers pledged their sup
port to the association and decided
to hold Statewide meeting in the
near future to discuss what action
to take
The indictment of the president
and secretary of the association, it
was stated in the resolutions, has
branded the officers and the $500
members as criminals in effect that
they are not conducting their bust
ness according to law.
1.-THE reputation of the officers
and members of the association and
the conduct of it's affairs are beyond

''The business has been conducted
in fair and impartial manner and
at no time has an exhorbitant price
been asked for or received for the
milk it is handling"
The resolution was offered by
Benjamin Miller, chairman of the
committee, arranging the picnic.
Its introdu ion followed an ad-
dress by Tr. A. F. Woods, president
of the University Of Maryland, who
urged the farmers not to lose their
nerve because of the indictment, but
to stick together.
1t was decided to send copies of
the resolution to every farmers or
ganization in Maryland. These or

name committees to offend State
