PARADOxES ARE ABOUT

Minneapolis Journal-Better farm
p%aradoxes. The dictionary says that
a paradox is a statement contrary to
common sense, but nevertheless true
in fact" Mathematician say that
parallel lines meet infinity. The
everyday man says, SHOW me- but
that cannot be done. 1t is a paradox.
SO Better Farming collects these three
business paradoxes, and wonders over
them.
First, business is bad and money Is
scarce. But the United States govern
ment has two and a quarter billions
of dollars in gold, nearly as much as
there is in the entire outside world.
Bank deposits are at flood tide and
the federal reserve is Is per cent
above the minimum.
1t is a paradox.
Then there are two million, some
say three million, men out Of work.
On the other hand, there are a million
families in need of homes. They are
waiting to be built. Scores Of great
public improvements, roads, railroad
terminals, and so on, are planned,
waiting, but ready to go forward.
There's money enough; in many cases
the bonds are sold. They are waiting
for men willing to work.
1t is a paradox.
Third, the year 1920 was the great
est year in agricultural production we
have seen. Enough is still left from
the harvest to feed all Christendom,
perhaps all heathendom as well. But
Christendom, outside the western hem
isphere, is on half rations, and mil
lions in heathendomsare starving, Yet
the farmers in America who produced
the food, wool, cotton, meat and leath-
er cannot get pre-war prices for it.
1t is a paradox.
Several explanations of these para
doxes are, of course, possible, But
they may be summed up in one phrase,
the fruit of war. Wholesale murder
and destruction are costly. They af-
feet the minds and hearts of humanity
ever worse than they affect the pocket
books and consciences.

to the sudden drop in the price Of but
ter fat. Personally, l had hoped that
the dairy industry might have wealth
cred the sudden and great slump in
price of all kinds of farm commodities.
| had hoped hat the dairy industry
was sufficiently impregnated with co.
operative marketing to stabilize the
price. ! am sure such would have
been the case if it had not happened
that the price Of all other farm prod,
ucts dropped to such a low level.
This low price Of other farm prod
ucts caused everybody to look to-
wards dairying as an outlet for cheap
feeds. This increased production by
farmers who heretofore had never
sold butter fat did really not begin
to show itself until the spring pro.
When this increase OF production be-
came apparent, the psychology Of the
market went bad. The big buyers
began to feel pessimistic, and asked

ket. 1t will not move at these high
prices With this sentiment existing

fiuences at work on dairy markets
such as there are in the grain and other
markets for nOn-perishable products. 1t
was a case of the price going down
low enough so as to cause an increased
consumption to take care of the in
crease in the dairy products.
THE importatiOns from Denmark
and other foreign countries have
helped to lower prices. | have learned
that the low price has succeeded in
moving the butter fairly we'll. The
cheese market, as | understand it, is
glutted at the present time. 1t is sell,
ing at around 13c. The cheese men
are really hit even harder than are
the butter people"

it from the farmer himself; a man of

PREVENT WORMY APPLES

"Wormy apples which are SO preva-
eliminated by thorough and timely
spraying" suggests A. l.. Ford, extern
sion entomolOgist at State college.
We'll over ninety per cent of all the
home apple orCh2rds in this state
have never been touched with spray
materials of any kind. The result
has been that the bulk of our apple
crop has been wormy.
Apple trees should be sprayed with
~arsenate of lead az pounds Of the
powder to so gallons Of water) within
a week after the petals fall at bloom
ing time. This is the important spray
for the apple worm and if delayed
for much longer than a week after
the bloom has gone, satisfactory re-
and similar spray applied about four
weeks after the first will get many
Of the second brood worms which
cause side injury to the fruit.
Spraying of this kind must be done
thoroughly. A good spray outfit is
essential. Fairly good results can We
obtained with the very best barrel
sprayers but a power outfit is much
better. The spray must be applied as
a driving mist under high pressure.
1t should be directed downward onto
the young fruits as the calyx cavity,
which points upward, must be filled
with the poison. This is where the
young worms enter the fruit"

Keep out all weeds before they get
started. 1t is easier and cheaper.
Dahlias may be set now. They re.
quire cool moist weather for best de
velopment. SO early fall as a rule
gives best flowers.
Geraniums and other bedding plants
may be put out now Many ANIMALS
may be moved TO permanent quarters.
Keep flowers Of everhearing straw
berries picked until about July first.
Stronger plants will result, giving
more fruit in the fall.

THE PRICE OF BUTTER FAT

In an endeavor 10 check up on the
causes of the recent drop in the price
of butter fat, the state department of
marketing wrote, among others, 70 c.
Larsen, formerly director Of extension
of South Dakota, now director, dairy

Larsen furnishes a very clear analysis
Of the matter:

It may be none Of our business,

going to do otherwise than fight
the idea of women wearing panta-
looms. A woman in trousers
looks like hell. Now, kind readers
we do not say this to be ~profane,
or anything of that kind, but just
because there is no other word to
express the fact. A woman sticks
out too much both fore and aft to
look good in pants, and besides,
she is bowlegged. Now just lis
