WHAT
CHOICE

John Shelton Williams. Democrat
and recently member of the Federal
Reserve, Board, charges the majority
members of the board, with practic-
ing favoritism in controlling credits.
The chairman of the board. also a
Democrat characterizes Williams in
language that is not at all compli-
mentary. Far be it from us to de-
eide controversy between two high
officials of the Democratic admins
tration concerning the folly of some
of the policies pursued. but let US at
least remind the contestants that the
Federal Reserve law was the Aldrich
law In most particulars. but differed
from the Aldrich measure chiefly in
trying to keep control of credits out
of the hands of large bankers. What
choice is there between credits con-
trolled by bankers and credits con-
trolled by politicians?

DON'T BE A
HERMIT

We are sorry for the Winnemucca
man who acts as though he wanted
to shun companionship. to live as
much to himself as possible, and who
doesn't put the proper valuation on a
friendly handshake or neighborly
smile. For trying to avoid others
because one or two may not like you
is the height of folly. Without com
panionship there can be no real hap
piness. II the people you are ac-
quainted with do not interest you, try
making new acquaintances, try seek

can do a friend in need is no greater
than you would ask of him II you

not have been put here. Certain It Is
that you were not created to waste
your life as the present-day hermit
wastes his.

WHAT ABOUT
OURSELyESl

We are all a bit selfish, because
that is human nature and born in us
since the beginning of time and in
herited from the brute instinct of self
preservation. Then comes along
necessity and adds to it. II We were
not selfish to certain extent and
fought for our rights. we would soon
be trampled upon and, figuratively,
devoured Few of us want to grab
things from our fellow man,, but mod
ern civilization" so-callcd, makes 1t
necessary for us to bring home the
bacon" because If we don't we won't
have any, and the children will go
hungry.
Many of us have great ambition to
achieve wonderous things. L. be
statesmen, warriors. leaders of men
and make all the rest of the world
sit up and take notice of us. Such
ambition 10 laudible. and has accom-
plished great good In the world, but
the average man is not cut out for
such a career, and so is more or less
dissatisfied because OF 1t. This We
should seek to conquer. Dissatis
faction is a bad pill. Discomfort is
father, mother, and wet nurse to
nine-tenths of the ills we complain
of. The sensible thing is to make Ut
our minds that while we cannot SCI
the world on fire and have eyerybod.
kowtowing at the sound of our illus
trious name. we none the less have
niche and place in the world and its
affairs, probably divinely ordained
and so we should strive to be content
In doing some little good as We go
along. setting a good example to 9th
ers by being sensible, just, kindly In
spirit and useful and Industrious.
This is about all the average per-
son can hope to accomplish, and 1t is
no mean job either. 1t is very i'm
portant in the worlds affairs.

Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board is quoted as saying that the
$313,000,000 wooden ship feet was as
great a blunder as the aeroplane
fiasco, and that as soon as possible
the Shipping Board will sell the
wooden ships, give them away or sink
them. Since it appears not to be
profitable TO operate them, 1t Is evil
IDENTIFY the wisest business policy to
get them off the governments hands

Farm Labor

The Farm Bureau has received
letters from a number of men
wanting work on farms only re-
Gently. An employment agency
from Minneapolis wrote that they
had about three hundred men
wanting work on the farm. 1t
surely looks more promising to-
ward securing better class Of
men who really want to work al
a lower figure than last year.
At the February meeting of the
Farm Bureau directors, a resolu-
ton was passed recommending a
wage from $35 to $45 per month
on the basis of a single man. The
board in no way assumed to set
the wage but offered the recon-
rm'enda lti, in u order 9r, that we may
be pretty well agreed about the
wage scale and have. a scale to fol-
low. The Farm Bureau Office will
try to assist in securing help from
those who desire it.

the coming, year to take care of a
good decrease in yield and also the
decrease in acreage in getting it
back to the normal acreage.
The resolution recommends to
get more land back into clover.
This indeed is a sensible sugges-
ton. The farmer has plowed the
hay land under in the past years
and reseeding this land is surely
the logical thing to do, not only
from the standpoint of our corn
acreage but from the standpoint of
soil fertility. The full value of
clover in crop rotation has never
been appreciated by the farmers OF
Iowa and sometimes one might be
led to believe that some would
never see the value of clover until
some of our soil reaches the de-
pleted state that our eastern soils
have. The fact that it is some
what an invisible action, makes it
beyond the apprehension of many
of us. Large acreages Owned by
landlords who have no regard for
soil fertility and the one year lease
causing a tenant to get every dol.
lar out Of the soil possible, has
caused no minor part in the de-
creased grass land of Iowa.
This year with clover seed selling
around $13 to SIS per bushel,
seems cheap especially when com.
pared with the prices year ago.
It looks as if farmers would buy
freely. Idaho has a large crop Of
clover seed, on hand. They have at
present large percent of their
crop on hand and have sold their
first part of the crop for around
$40 per hundred.
If you can Judge the popularity
Of the different legumes by the ex-
tent they are grown in Iowa, red
clover is still in the first place.
Perhaps it is for the reason that
red clover may be grown and soil
which is a little acid and, yet is too
acid for alfalfa. Alfalfa outyields
the clover and is a better feed,
while red clover may be grown
where the soil is slightly acid.
There is plenty of proof to show
that lining would be> beneficial.
