Farming in Britain
Does Not Pay Says
An Agricu1turist
IBy Associnted Pressl


London, Oct. 22-S. F. Edge, the
well known motorist whose scienti-
fic farming in Sussex has given him
almost equal rank as an agricultu-
rist, says that under present condi-
tions farming in England does not
pay.
He has offered to turn over to a
committee of his farm workers
farms worth 100000 and, leaving
their management entirely in their
hands, see il they can make them
pay.
"This year," he says, "the aver
age farmer lost money. Faced by 4
falling market he has had to pay
wages out of capital. Thus grazers
have been losing from $40 to G15
per head Of stock. Actually this
year it pays me better to feed my
stock on what than to sell the wheat.
After keeping his sheep for two
years, the farmer gets shilling a
pound for the mutton which the
butcher sells for Is Sd pound, MAX
ing his $50 percent profit in a week.
On most farming land l can today
only trace profit on pigs.
"With prices of farm produce
falling so fast that the cost of pro-
duction is more than the price for
which the animals or crops can sell,
the farmer is faced with this stu
alton: unless he can reduce produc-
ton costs, either he must give up
farming-while he has still some
thing left-or go bankrupt.
ITO reduce costs he must reduce
wages or reduce the number of his
employees. But even such reductions
will not allow him to remain in bus
mess unless all his employees are in
earnest that he shall succeed. IN
less one and all agricultural work
ers are prepared to give of their best
agriculture generally will fail, and
that quickly. Until everybody on a
farm regards a bad time-keeper as
thief, we shall never attain eff
cheney"

Globe Trotting Is
Diversion of This :
Teachers Year
by Associated PressD

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 22-Globe
trotter in the summer and professor
of history at the University of Kan
sas in the winter is the program fol-
lowed by Prof David l.. Patterson,
who returned the middle Of Septem-
Der from three-months trip to
South America, visiting a score Of
the cities along the west coast and
back the east coast after trip
Alaska. Summer before he circled
across the Andes. Two summers
before that, in the early days of the
world war, he visited the battle
fronts of Europe as a war CORE
spondent for an American newspa-
per.
On all these trips Professor Pat
terson observed closely the condi-
tions of the countries through winch
he travelled, and from the South AM
erican and the European trips
brought back large numbers of rep
resentative newspapers for his Ii
brary. His early newspaper train
ing impelied him, on his Alaskan
trip, to note the great forests of
spruce, as yet practically untouched,
The greatest of these Alaskan for
ests, said Prof. Patterson, are in the
southeastern part. They are con-
trolled through the United States
forest service, and but two permits
to paper pulp companies have been
issued. These forests are extensive,
and need never be exhausted if prop
erly safeguarded, Prof. Patterson
said, for they form a second growth
in thirty years.
Prof. Patterson's Alaska trip
combined all sorts of transportation,
including the Alaskan railroad now
being constructed by the United
States government, river steamer
and Pacific liner, as well as plain
"mushing" as in the gold-rush days.
His trip carried him through the At
lin Lake country of British Column
bia, and as far as Dawson, Yukon
Territory.
