Hay and Freight

1t is costing the farmers of Kansas
$24.84 per acre to produce and place
alfalfa f. o. b. cars local shipping
point. This is the tabulation just
made by Secretary Chas. R. Weeks of
Kansas State Farm Bureau from a
QUESTIONABLE sent out to the officers
of the farm bureaus in fifty widely
scattered counties in the state of
Kansas.
On the answers tabulated from the
QUESTIONABLE on actual hay shipments
the freight charges amounted to 241A
per cent of the selling price of alfal-
ia. These figures will be used before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in getting them to rescind their order
of July % in authorizing thrty-five
per cent increase on interstate freight
rates on hay and grain between points
in the western group.
Practically every farmer who
answered the QUESTIONABLE stated
that the freight rates were now pro-
hibitive. If the freight rates were
advanced thirty-five per cent it would
mean that instead of farmers paying
"a y per cent of the selling price of
alfalfa at the terminal market, they
would pay thirty-fve per cent of the
selling price to get their hay to that
market.
The State Farm Bureau is cooper
ating with the public utilities commits
sion of this state and the American
Farm Bureau Federation in their eff
forts to prevent this destructive in
crease in freight rates, which are al
ready prohibitive.

Proteetion and Education

Illiteracy, lack of educational ad-
vantages and opportunity has been
one of the greatest hindrances to
growth and progress in the Southern
states. 1t has been represented that
lack of funds, by reason of the scare
ity of taxable resources, has retarded
the upbuilding of higher educational
standards in tht South. This condi-
ton, however, is becoming bettered,
and nothing has done more to further
the betterment of school conditions in
the South than the development of in
dustrial plants in the towns and cities
of states like Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina and Tennessee, which
have increased taxable resources.
Many formerly inconsequential
towns in the South, wholly reliant up
on agriculture, have become the seat
of small industries, and in all these
communities may be found modern
public school buildings and good edu-
cational advantages.
Thus it is that the Protective Tariff
policy, by its encouragement of small
industry, has pointed the way to help
full solution of the South's education
al problem-so long retarded through
the poverty of industrial life. The
element of the Southern population
most in need of educational oppor-
tunity, classified as "poor whites" Is
profting largely because of the edu-
cational opportunity developing by
reason of the industrial growth of the
South made possible by Tariff Pro
tection.-Ex.

April Fools day has long been

say that it started back in the begin

out OF the ark before the food had

to correspond with our first day OF
April. And, inasmueh as the bird went
out upon an Intellectual mission, the
