Capital and Labor.

That the relations between
capital and labor have i'm
proved in the last decade IS
evident to- any one who has
kept track of the situation.
The old economic theories as
to their innate antagonlsm
have been scrapped. Their
true relationship of identity
of interest has been proven
SO often that it is now &C
cepted by most as the law
applicable in each and every
case. The science of politl-
cal economy was we'll called
by Carlyle the dismal
science" It's theories have
been exploded from time to
time until now there is moth
ing left Of the old school OF
theorists but shreds and
patches. For instance, NAL
thus who claimed that
population increased in geo.
metric ratio while food in
creased only I'M arithmetical
ration. Or Adam Smith, who
said that the fertile river
bottoms were prior in set
element by peoples ION &C
count of greater richness OF
soil and return in crop,
whereas history has shown
that the fevers and disease
formerly incident to the low
lands compelled the people to
settle the hills and eleva-
tions first. Or Stuart Mill,
who said that the rate of
wages was controlled by the
lowest figure at which a
laborer could hold body and
soul together.
From those days and those
theories to the present is but
a span of a few years. But
the moral growth has been
more rapid and has covered
q greater chasm than the
previous fifty or sixty CEN
turies of recorded history.
We have already noted in
this column an admirable at
tempt on the part Of our
Electric Light Company to
get together with its en-
ployees in spirit and prac-
!tice. We are glad to call at
tention today to the Ameri-

MUCH GRAIN WASTED BY
CARELESSNESS IN THRASHING

Hundreds of thousands of bushels
OF grain are lost to consumption each
year on American farms because of
improper adjustment and lack of eff
clency in the operation of thrashing
machines. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has given consid-
cradle attention to this loss with a
view of ascertaining how far improved
methods can be economically introduce
cd to adjust waste. 1t is true, experts
point out, that sometimes the time
and labor involved in checking a small
loss in worth more than the saving.
nevertheless, there are many leaks on
almost every thrashing job which
might easily be stopped if the farm
cr or machine operator would spend a
few hours in the study of the problem
and few dollars in replacing worn
and damaged parts.
Feeding the grain into the machine,

small items go 10 make up total that
may mean gain or loss. Much grain
IS wasted by failure TO clean up at

PREVENT SPREAD OF
PINE BEETLE BY CUTTING
OUT ALL INFESTED TREES

More northumberland timber
probably was killed in the Southern
pine belt during the last 30 years by
the Southern pine beetle than died
from all other causes combined. 1t
is one Of the neost destructive enemies
of all species of pine, from Pcnnsyl-
vania to Texas, yet the prevention Of
serious outbreaks and the control of
this menace to the great timber re-
sources Of the South not only are pos
sible but entirely practicable, say
specialists Of tho United States De-
partmcnt of Agriculture in Farmers
Bulletin 1888, The Southern Pine
Beetle recently published 1t is only
and utilize for fuel or lumber, during
the fall and winter months, all trees
that died during the late summer and
fall, making sure that the bark of the
main trunk is burned.
Spread Rapidly When Established
Under average or normal conditions
caused by the activities of the beetle
few scattering trees are killed by it
each year n mature stands of pine
timber throughout the Southern
States. When conditions become ia
vorablc for the multiplication of the
| insect, it is able to Kill groups of
trees, and If these groups increase i'm
number and size the following year
they constitute the danger signal of
an outbrca k which may result in
widespread devaStations, according to
the bulletin.
Between 1890 and 1893 these beet
les killed very large percentage of
the yellow, pitch, ard white pines of
West Virginia and Virginia, and since
the earliest records, in 1912, have kill
ed q vast amount Of timber in the At
lantic and Gulf States, most of which
has been total loss. Their destruc-
tion can only be compared to that
caused by forest fires, and, as has
been demonstrated, they may lead to
far greater destruction than has ever
been recorded as resulting from fires

preventing the spread Of the insect.
Bark on the infested trees still stand

TO check the spread Of the insect Tho
best time to conduct control operations
is during the period between Dcccm-
bcr | and March |. 1t is essential,
before control work is undertaken,
someone who is familiar with the work
of the beetle take charge cf the opera
tions. Trees for several miles around
an infested area should be carefully
examined, and for this reason owners
OF pines should cooperate in carry
ing on the control work.
