the writer in London that the entire
civilized world must look TO the SMALL
towns OF America to preserve for the
world the civilization that il had taken
centuries to build, because the small

tIonal good
some three or four months ago
there was before Congress a bin on
which the press Of the country Vas
divided. The magazines, the big ma.
tional veeklies, the farm press and
the metropolitan daily papers were on
ono side and the country newspapers
were on the other side. The passage
OF the bin would mean creating an op.
portunity for a greater Capitalization
Of the merchandising OF the nation in
a few large cities with a consequent
injury to the small cities and towns
and to the people OF these cities and
towns and the farms surrounding
them. The country press fought for
the defeat Of the bill and in the end
the members OF the committee in
whose hands the fate Of the bin rested
listened TO the country press because
they realized that the welfare Of these
country communities represented the
best interests OF the nation as
whole. and the bin was killed.
During our participation ia the
World war the country press stood
stanchIy and unselHshly back Of the
mutton. II did no,hing to create dis
Sehsion among the people during the
time of emergency, but II did carry 70

patriotism and national unity. In each

Value Not Always understocd.
But the people of The cities do uot
always understand the value of the
country press. With the increased de-
mand for war supplies there came q
demand for a decrease in the con
sumption Of the ordinary needs OF
peace time. Among the things the
consumption of which must be cpt
was paper. A city man was ut the
heud OF the department that regulated
the use Of paper, and he felt II adj
visable to so limit the amount OF pa.
per available for the country press as
to seriously cripple all Of these pa
pcrs, and to have entirely closed manS

writer TO present the case Of the coun

take him long to see that the govern
ment could not afford to in any con
siderable degree cripple an institution
that represented SO much of national
good as did these country newspa'

D~ISCREDITING MOON
FARMING.

To question confidence in the
almanac when it comes to plant
ing is still regarded as almost
sacrilege by many an old-fash-
Toned farmer. Unless the sign
is right, he is sure that it will
be useless for him to attempt
to get a crop.
The federal department of ag-
riculture has issued an almanac
for farmers, and this almanac
contains a somewhat serious at
tack on the ideas of persons who
adhere to the moon lore for
farming and gardening. This al
manac viii have the approval of
the modern farmer who has a.
dopted businesslike methods in
his farming operations.
Don't plant by the MOON
the almanac says, "but get the
best seed and prepare the seed
bed, then plant when soil and
moisture conditions are right"
Good sense, certainly, but how
are you going to convince the
man who has a moon almanac
hanging in the kitchen?
The farmer who plants by the
moon somtimes makes out a
good case for himself, in spite
of the scoffing of the experts.
He will tell of fine crops grown
when the moon was right and
how his neighbors failed to get
a return Of the seed when they
disregarded the moon.
The department Of agricult-
ure insists that the preparation
of the seed bed and planting at
a time when conditions of heat
and moisture are the most fa-
vorable, with proper cultivation,
will insure good crops, regard
less of what the moon almanac
may say. Students in agricult-
ural schools and some farmers
may believe that, but it is too
much to expect that many farm
ers will not continue skeptical
in spite of the assurance of the
experts.
