the same situation as the state
of North Dakota faced a decade
AGO. The farmers of North Da-
kota labored under certain glar-
ing economic inequalities. Their
demands for the correction OF
these inequalities were repeated
w ignored and denied. Ihese
first demands were not made Dy
the agitators, socialistic dream
ers. and political adventures
who later plunged the state into
political turmoil and economic
chaos. The original protestants
were Woodworking sober-mlnded
farmers who requested a fair and
honest consideration of their
problems. It was those in pollt-
ical control and not the farmers
who made North Dakota a fertile
field for the seeds of socialism.
The future of the present ag-
ricutural bloc in congress is what
its opponents make it. AT the
present time it is nothing more
than a temporary coalition to Sc
cure the passage of certain mea-
sures designed to enable farmers
to modernize and stabilize their
business. There is no desire on
the part of its personnel to per-
petuate the bloc and thereby ov-
erthrow the American plan of po-
litical government and substitute
therefore class representation.
If the bloc does become, as did
the nopatisan league, the tool of
political reformers and radical
agitators, it will be because OF
failure to give fair and honest
consideration to the present
needs of agricultural America
and to regard those needs in
in the light of national problems.
For this reason too much inn
portance cannot be attached to
the agricultural conference now
in session in Washington. 7 here
are two elements in the country
that hope for failure of this con-
ference-those who refuse to
take tolerant sympathetic view
of the farmers endeavors for
lettering his condition, and the
tag ends of the now discredited
nonpartisan league whose pet
theories Of government anguish
and die unless fed upon class pre-
JUDGES and hatreds.

thousands of dollars sent out of
the community every year for COM
mercial fertilizers to build up the
soil ; of thousands of tons of hay
that are shipped out every year
and sold sometimes above, too
often below, the cost of produc-
ton.
All of us are strong for the
dairy industry and wish the
creamery to succeed. Some of
us wish it so earnestly that we
are willing that the creamery
ship it's output in bulk to the
city creamery where it is mould
ed out and dolled up in attractive
cartons and sent back to us and
we buy it because it looks pretty
and costs more; others of us
eat oleo and drink cocoanut milk
and kid ourselves into believing
that we like it.
The same thing is true of the
mill. If the editor had his way
he would erase the benign coun-
teance of George Washington
from Kennewick flour sacks and
put thereon a dust-covered,
sweat-streaked farmer astride a
dead-axe water tank behind gall
ed and goaded horses straining
out over the prairies toward the
Horse Heaven hills, and on the
reverse side the facsimile of; a
mortgage.
O, yes, we expect the farmer
to continue to raise wheat, lift
the mortgage and pay his other
bills. So ardent are we that we
help to keep the wheels going
around in Portland, Prescott,
Cheney or Lewiston mills while
somebody, probably the farmer
pays the freight on the wheat
out and the flour in.
We're boosters. We've got the
habit and can't help it.

FARMERS PROBLEMS

THERE appears in this issue
of the Courier Reporter the
first installment of an article
written for the Atlantic Monthly
by Bernard M. Baruch.
Under the title, "Some Aspects
of the Farmers Problems" Mr..
Baruch defends the farmer
against the now widespread ac-
cusation that the agricultural in
terests are hammering at the
doors of congress and demanding
class legislation and special priv
ilege.
The article is especially timely
in view of the storm of criticism
which the metropolitan press is
hurting at the activities of the
agricultural bloc in congress and
the announced intention Of Pres
lent Harding to name q farmer
on the federal reserve board.
On the whole M. Baruch pref
ty clearly voices the sentiment,
not only of the farmers, but of
the agricultural sections Of the
country. He states some very
patent truths which sooner or
later must be learned by metro
politan and industrial America.
AS a meter of fact the farmer
is not demanding special privil-
eye. He is asking only that the
nations greatest and most i'm
portant industry be put upon a
sound economic basis and be &C.
corded parity with other indust-
ries.
Experience since the war has
brought the farmer face to face
with the stern fact that, meas
ured by modern business stand
ards, farming is a failure; that
while the farming industry has
kept pace with the country's
commercial and industrial pro
gress in production methods, its
distribution, marketing and fl
nancial methods>>are atiquated
and obsolete. The farmer has
learned what the whole country
must learn, that the methods for
the distribution of farm products
must be undermined; that leg
islation which will permit of
their modernization must be en-
acted, or the whole economic
structure of the nation must
tumble.
Agriculture is a basic industry
Without successful agriculture
economically we perish. Under
present conditions successful ap.
riculture is. impossible. What
to be done about it? Are we,
with common sense, going to deal
with the farmers problems as
great national problems, or, with
prejudice, dismiss them as clam
or for special privilege?
The nation today faces much

ROMANCE M ZINC FOUND
 BY JOURNEY TO THE PAST

is obtained. When making brass dur ing the Middle Ages. the smelters em' bedded pieces Of copper in mixture Of ealamine and charcoal, placed ir crucibles, and then subjected the whole to a high temperature, The zinc in the calamine was reduced D, the carbon In the charcoal, and in the form of vapor combined with the copper to produce brass. This pro- | ccss was. of course, crude and ex- pensiye compared with modern .aethods.
 Effect of Zinc Mixed With Copper.
 The effect of zinc alloyed with cop per Is to make q mixture harder than the copper. and all the alchcmists of the period were familiar with the re- suits obtained hy melting. copper with calamlne. Yet at that time neither the alchemists nor the foundrymen knew that there was such metal as zinc. and it was not until iT2l that Henckel published his discovery that this metal could be obtained from caamine.
 First Mention of Zine.
 The first mention of zinc as a metal occurs In q treatise on minerals by Faraeelsue. Swiss physician and scientist. who lived 14s3 to 15lf. His account is quaint, and will bear quot ing.
 There Is another metal called the zinken, which is unknown to the fra ternity, and is metal of very singu- lar kind. If can be melted, for it con sists of three fluid principles. but is not malleable. In it's color it is un- like all others and does not grow in the same manner, but with its ultima materia l am as yet unacquainted, for it Is almost as strange in it's proper ties as argentum vivum. It admits no mixture. will not bear the fabrications of other metals, but keeps itself en- tirely to itself"
 Chinese Early Produced Zinc.
 In the 18th century, however; ad- vcpturors traders, who had made the long and perilons journey to China and the East Indies, brought this ~letal back to Europe with them. Evi- dently the Chinese had been produc- ing it for long time, but in 1895, IIDdVius AWHO WaS the TTSt european to investigate the properties of zinc with any exactness) refers to this i'm ported product as peculiar kind of tin" found in the East Indies, and called "calaem."
 Zinc and Spelter.
 In England the term "Spiauter' was applied to this metal of eastern origin, end the Scientist Boyle. who lived from 1626-1691, uses the names bis muth' zinc and spiauter as synony- nous. It is apparent therefore, that century after Libavius, Boyle (the greatest chemist in Eng | land at that time) was not familiar with the exact nature of zinc.
 It is believed that "spiauter, is word of East Indian origin, meaning to smoke, to fume when hot. From 1t we derive our English word "spel- ters" the name by which zinc is now l commonly known in the trade. Zinc | and spelter are different names used to describe the same metal.
