equilibrium between rates and the
movement Of commodities was inn
possible.
In all the deep interior, any rate
that would pay the railroads was
prohibitive and any rate that would
move the traffic was unremunerative
The recent advance in rates has only
made more apparent the situation
that has always existed.
Improvements Of the Mississippi
will help restore the balance. A com
plete remedy will be given by the st.
Lawrence improvement. The coun-
try will then face the ocean on four
sides as it now does on three, and
from every section there will be a
relatively short, down-grade haul to
the ocean port.
Many people do not realize how
near we are to accomplishment OF
this project. Engineers for the
United States and Canada have been
working for a year on the plans. The
field has frequently been studied, and
substantially we know what their re-
port win inevitably be.
A dam at the international bound
airy will make the St Lawrence A
forebay of Lake Ontario for more
than a hundred miles. Two short
side-eanals, not over 20 miles in an,
will carry ships past the remaining
rapids down to Montreal.
Below Montreal there are now ex-
cellent conditions, for the st. Law
renee is a mighty stream, so miles
wide at its mouth. In the upper
lakes nothing needs to be done to the
channels.
We know the cost will be within
bounds; we know the power incl
dentally developed will pay the cost
of the whole job.

renee, admitting ocean-going ships
to the Great Lakes.
1t is more fundamental need
than was at first imagined.
In his initial statement as secre-
tary Of commerce. Herbert Hoover
said, March IL:
We must consider our transpor-
tation as one system di-
reeted to serve the nation as
whole"
And he sets down as an essential
part Of that program, "the opening
Of the Great Lakes to ocean going
vessels.
For the last SO years our national
transport system has been founded
on the railways. The American rail-
way machine surpasses any other on
the globe. But it has been over-em-
phasized. Other ways have been
neglected. Our wagon roads have
been morasses. The States are now
spending hundreds Of millions to re-
pair that error. Our waterways have
fallen into disuse Attention is now
directed 10 that mistake, and it will
be corrected.
As our national transport system
developed on this one-sided man
ner, the country has suffered. 1t is
not necessary to dwell upon the al
most total failure Of transportation
last year, due in part TO exceptional
circumstances. Let us take the
larger view.
As the railroad arm Of transporta-
ton was pushed beyond its proper
bounds and Its logical use, the coun-

WHO WILL CARE
FOR THESE TOTS

The Children's Bureau wants to
thank all persons and societies who
have given so generously to help
continue its work for another year.
There is another kind OF help that
the bureau has received that is per-
haps even more needed than money.
Several persons have offered to take
into their homes children whose
fathers have lost their work because
OF the hard times. One woman. who
has only a small income but a nice
home in the suburbs, boarded a little
boy who, because Of his nervous
condition, needed special diet and
sympathetic care. His father lost his
position and could no longer pay
for him, 50 she offered to keep this
child free until the father gets an
other position.
The bureau has another family Of
little children, a sister and two
brothers under IL years of age,
whose father has been boarding
them for two years in homes found
by the Childrens Bureau. The
father, who is steady worker and
who has spent all his money on his
little family, was laid off for the
summer with almost no notice.
The Children's Bureau is sure
there is some generous family who
will share its home with one or more
of these little ones for the summer,
and will find a friend in the neigh
borhood for the others, so they viii

anxious, under the involved con-
ditions lest it grow worse, with
hardships of the winter season
soon to be met
President Harding shows us that
the situation is bad, but he also
shows that unemployment is all
about US, even in the best times.
Knowing the situation is serious, he
has not waited. Neither is he afraid
to go after a remedy. He said:
there are no problems af-
fecting our national life and the
welfare of the American people,
which we cannot and will not
solve. IF WE FAIL TODAY,
WE WILL TRY AGAIN TO-
MORROW
ut is just as he pointed out in
another part of his opening address.
This conference of American bust
ness men didn't have to worry about
the social system of the United
States. America was built solid
along those lines by the fathers,
and that is why our country is so
strong today. All that is wrong is,
as President Harding said, that
We are merely depressed
after the fever Cmeaning the
war; and we want to know the
way to speediest and dependa-
BILE convalescense.'
Just how these thinking me2,
who are from all parts of the coun-
try and who KNOW conditions as
they are, will finally remedy the en-
tire situation, I do not know. If
did then I would have been az that
conference, but we can rest assured
of one thing--taxes will not be rails
ed, because IL will not be solved by
taking the governments money.
Money would do no good; II is Jobs
the idle men need President Hard
ing realizes that fact, for he SAID:
ct would have little enthus-
iasm for proposed relief which
seeks either palliation or tonic
from the public treasury. The
excess of stimulation from that
source is to be reckoned cause
of trouble rather than a source
of cure. We should achieve
but little in a remedial way il
we continued to excite a con-
tributing cause
1.-THE rest of the world is much
worse off with regard to unemploy-
ment than the United States, so they
are watching us closely. They know
that whatever we do to help our SIT
uation will help the whole world.
And that something will be done,
there is no doubt. These men are
earnest The President is in earn
est, and the best possible solution
for all concerned will be worked
out"

in the oats bins on the farms as well
as in the oats now stored in elevat-
ors. The bugs are quite small and
are hard to see unless they occur in
large numbers. They are brown in
color and may easily be detected
when seen crawling in the grain
These pests may be easily destroy
ed by fumigating with carbon hi
sulphide. II is a very simple mat
ter to do the fumigating, as pans
containing the carbon bisulphide are
placed on top OF the oats. The gas
created is heavier than air and set
ties down through the bins, killing
all insects. This gas is OF highly
explosive nature, therefore caution
should be used and directions fol-
lowed carefully.
Meetings
The different township associa-
tions OF the Farm Bureau are hold
ing meetings this week and next, to
elect officers and TO make out
program for the association to carry
out during 1922. The officers are
elected at this time. in case there
is a change made, the newly elected
officers may attend at least two of
the directors meetings before he
takes office.
The State office has requested that
the program be arranged for the
township associations before the
middle of October in order that they
may have ample time to make ar
rangements to meet all the demands
over the state. Heretofore, the pro-
grams have been made out in the
late winter and spring, just previous
to the starting of the work, which
does not give them enough time 20
lay their plans.
Corn Picking Prices
1t is the general opinion of the
people of this and neighboring
counties that the price for corn pick
ing will be 2k to 31s cents per
bushel.

FARM BUREAU ACTIVITIES
Matters Of Special Interest, and Set
ting of Price to Be Paid
for Corn Picking.

The last of the series Of Soil Eros
ion meetings was held last week.
Many farmers remarked that If they
had only used these principles as
brought out at the demonstrations
for the last few years, that their eff
forts would have meant a great deal
to them. According to Mr.. H. III.
Sunderlin, who had the demonstra-
ton, the farmers OF Audubon county
are very persistent in attempting to
stop bitches; more so than many
counties OF the state. Il is crafty
ing to see the way they have taken
this work into their own hands.
There are a few general principles
which have to be taken into consid-
Grafton when it comes to blocking
running water and these same prin-
ciples are applied to installing dams.
Many farmers have done some good
work in filling bitches, after attend
ng the demonstrations.
Soy Bean Variety Test
Demonstrations run with corn and
soy beans for silage, according to
most OF the men hauling bundles
from the field at the same time OF
silo filling, say soy beans are raised
at a sacrifice of corn" There was
no accurate checking on this state
ment, but most of the haulers said,
they could notice the difference in
the corn as soon as they reached the
rows where the beans started" Ac-
cording TO experiments in Marshall
county, where the plots were on very
rich ground, the corn was not check
ed at all by the beans. Under aver
age conditions there might be a
chance of having the corn yield cut
down. Next year an attempt will be
made to clear this difference of opin-
ion by planting rows Of corn and
beans alternately.
The demonstration, as run, was to
determine the varieties best adapted
for silage cutting. There Is one
thing sure-no farmer wants to
plant beans for silage, which does
not grow high enough to be cut by
the binder. There was one variety
which didn't grow high enough. an
other which by nature grew along
the ground instead OF following the
cornstalk. The Mongal variety was
just In the right stage OF maturity
on September 9th-the day 1t was
being put into the silo. The plants
stood high and could easily be cut
with a binder. The Sable variety
was high enough and stood the high
est of any variety, excellent for sill
age purposes. The seed, however,
was not quite as mature as the Mon
gal. The Chestnut variety natures
early, but was too short to be cut
with a binder. The Elton variety,
which is the best yielder for hay,
was too matured on Sept 9, as the
beans and leaves were falling. The
nature of this variety does not make
it suitable for silage. as 1t tends to
run along the ground, instead OF be-
ing able to stand up.

or men state that grain beetles are

back Jack. There is no use argu-

about what is being done in Wash

of our President is right in line with
all his policies TO get THEIR ideas

that he knows It all. He knows he
doesn't know it all and that is one
reason why he is big man.
These men gathered in Washing
