HOPE 1T WILL BE A FINE DAY7

Hope it will be fine day tomor-
row" How often the past few weeks
has this expression of wish been
heard And this Notwithstanding the
parched earth in various parts has
been very much in evidence. One who
is not in touch with the actual con-
ditions of the soil, whose days of toll
are relieved by golf. tennis or ride
in his car may not be expected to
realize how the crops are shrinking
under the drouth, how the cattle on
the thousand hills are deprived of
forage, how the wells on the old
farm, which haven't been dry for
years, have failed. Occasionally the
autoist stopping for water is forcibly
reminded of this when he is told that
water is not to be had. But most Of
us go our ways without thinking of
the farmer hauling water miles to
quench the thirst, not only Of his
family but of his stock as well.
The National Geographic Society

as the oil which lubricates the worlds
economic machinery"
with the smallest estimated cot
ton crop since 1913" continues the
bulletin, with spring wheat in poor
% tn nv
of the other wheat countries of the
world, with other important crops be-
low their average, and with drouth
cast as the villain. or at least as an
accomplice, in each case. the differ
ence that few showers make in hu-
manity's scheme of things is strongly
emphasized.
while everybody realizes in a gen.
eral way that the world depends on
rainfall and fertility for food. there
are very few, perhaps, who even ap-
proximately appreciate how COM
paratively little the farmer actually
does in the great process of crop
growing To pillow millions of acres
furrow by furrow. to spend millions
of dollars on fertilizers, and to reap
and gather and thresh. is no mean
task And yet compared with the
part that nature plays in the process,
mans work seems very slight labor.
For instance, it takes about twenty
inches of rainfall to grow food crop
under our general farming methods,
which means about 22ee tons Of water
to the acre. That seems a prepos-
ferrous figure, but the doubter can
easily demonstrate its correctness.
Suppose the American farmer had to
haul the water his ground must have
to give him a good crop. and that the
distance and freight rate were the
same as the average railroad haul and
rate in the United States. On that
basis it would cost him more than
$4,000 an acre to water his place.
but not only would his water bill
I've nearly half a million dollars on a
100-acrc farm, but his fertilizer bill
also would amount to a neat little
sum. II is estimated that in the

pounds of ammonia year to the

seven pounds of potash. With sui

cents a pound ut cost 81 during the

sulphate required to contribute
seventeen pounds of ammonia, it will
be seen that the process of evapora-
ton gives the rootlets $1.65 worth of
ammonia to the acre.

"Trade Follows the Price"

t11ONSH ~SItiEcb
The remark ascribed to Mr.. Will
liam NJ Wood of the American Wool
en- Company that trade follows the
price and not the flag" may not be
popular. but there is a great deal OF
common sense in it. AS far as Ger
man made imports go 1t is perfectly
certain that, where the price is lower
than ours and the quality at least as
good, trade is going to follow the
price in the end despite the sentimen-
tai aversion (Which still abides) from
everything German. To this extent.
Mr. Woods remark Gf he made iD
is justified. Men buy in the cheap
est market and sell in the dearest.
unless there's some overmastering
reason for their doing the reverse.
Our present danger lies in the fact
that pretty nearly every country in
the world can undersell US and yet
match our output in quality-and at
the same time is so heavily in debt
to US that we cannot very safely i'm
pose artificial tariff barriers to keep
such goods entirely out of our shops.

3. II you should attend a meeting

4. Never accept an Office in the post.
Most offices haze duties connected

g. Get sore at the organization II you
are not appointed on committee.
8. II you are appointed, don't both

necessary. When other members roll
up their sleeves and give unselfishly
of their time and ability to help things
along. get up on your hind legs and
howl that the post is being run by a
clique.
II. Remember, you owe no duty or
obligation to a sick or disabled buddy
