it in the way that benefits the whole
community, and there is no margin in

conditions. And where silos make

ly in their shadows there is no real

IL sending our young folks away
to be educated does not gain us any
thing in u own communities; if
ignoring the possibilities Of education
is dangerous, it must be the system
OF education that is. at fault.
l would not strike from the readers
the romance and the glamour of the
other worlds, but l would include
stories which throw a little color
around the farmers lives. l would
include in the Biographies studied in
the country schools a bit more of
agricultural detail. l should like to
see the beginner trace through the
copy book some such sentence as, 81

We farmers stand, divided we fall
l would bring the high schools within

and girl. l would put rural sociology
in every freshman course and con.
tinue the study throughout the four
years. l would have our agricultural
colleges teach marketing as well as
production, reaping as we'll as SOW
ing.
l wish that there might be instilled
in the minds Of all country boys and
girls a feeling Of responsibility for
the farm-a feeling that no matter
what work they might take up they
owed a return to their country com
munity in service-that they were
not free from obligation until they
had paid back to country life the in
terest or the capital they took-that
the members of the family who go
out to be lawyers and doctors and
merchants and bankers realize that
they were indebted for their success
to the training and strength and ideals
they received from their rural en-
vironment and that even if they are
temperamentally and naturally un-
suited to take the lot Of the man who
stays behind to feed the rest. they
have a debt of honor to pay the one
who does, and that to the soil and the
community they must give back. The
tree takes food and sap from the
ground in the spring, gives service
to the world in the summer, and
then in the autumn drops every leaf
back to the earth.

CLIMATIC AND SOIL CONDITIONS
FOR WHEAT.

Wheat demands q soil sufficiently
rich in plant food for proper growth
and maturity but not so rich In nitro
gen as to produce al excess Of straw
at the expense Of the kernels. The
hard spring wheat having the highest
bread making gluten content, can be
grown to perfection In the United
States only in a limited territory in
the Northwest.
The cool growing season with abun-
dance of sunshine during the stages
of filling and maturity and the hor
and dry harvest time so typical OF our
prairies contribute strongly to the
best development of the hard wheat
varieties as we'll as to their harvesting
and the preservation Of the crop.
While the weather does not cause
rust and other disease conditions, in
some years, when the weather Is wet
and warm at the time the red spores
attack the wheat, it causes these
spores to multiply very rapidly. In
fact, many. farmers think that wheat
rust Is caused by the weather. Often
the maturing or ripening Of the crop
a few days earlier than usual, will es-
cape this rust menace almost com
pletely.
The weather has not changed In the
Northwest sufficient to account for any
deterioration in wheat. If the limit
ing factors Of disease could be re-
moved. there is no place in the spring
wheat territory where good whea has
ever been grown, which cannot again
grow the very best hard milling wheat.
Progressive Rust Control.
II is a matter Of congratulation that
we have discovered our greatest
enemy. the barberry bush, upon which
the black rust spores Of wheat pass
the cluster cup stage to the red rust
stage.
Once this menace is conquered by
the removal Of all the barberry plants,
we will have no occasion to blame the
Ceather. It Is true that sometimes
the springs are too wet or too dry; that
the growing season Is too wet, alterne.-
ing with hot weather, and that some
times we have long dry spells, but on
the other hand we have the weather
conditions as a general thing which
keep our wheat from turning to
yellow berry and produces those dark
amber, hard vitreous kernels from
which the celebrated spring wheat
-four has gained Its great fame.

SEED LOANS AVAILABLE

The relief is provided for farmers
in the crop failure area" for the pur-
chase Of spring-grown grain for seed,
which includes wheat, oats, barley
and flax. The area comprises North
Dakota, northwest counties Of South
Dakota, Montana, several counties in
Idaho and Washington. Droughts for
a number Of years worked severe
hardships with the farmers Of this
region, many of whom have no seed
and no credit or money with which
to buy any for this year.
Since 1918 about $6.000.O 900 Of gov
eminent has been loaned in small
loans, of which only $4,000 900 has
been repaid. Each succeeding year
has brought a crop failure and the
farmers, 1t is said, are as bad off now
as they were when the work OF re-
lief was first started.
Farmers desiring loans should make
application to their county agent. To
the director Of extension work in their
respective states or directly to the
Seed Loan office at Grand Forks, N.

GIVE THIS A TRIAL

Did you ever go to a Holyoke mer-
chant and ask him to give you quo
tation on a s25 or $50 order for
merchandise? Try it once. It's a
hundred to one that you will get con-
cessions that will surprise you. But
do it, understand, Just as you would
send your money to mail-order
house. The chances are that your
local merchant If oftimes handicapped
in purchasing power by the fact that
he has all his money tied up in giving
credit to the people that will come in
his place, order weeks supply on
credit and when the wages come in
at the end Of the month, send the bulk
of it to a mail-order house. When
an order Is sent to one of them 1t is
always for quantity Of goods-not
just one little purchase. So If you
want to be fair, If you want to act
ually test the local merchants prices.
ask him for quotations on quantity
purchases. You'll find that you can
do better right here at home.

HER PLATFORM WINS

Miss Alice Robertson, the only
woman representative in Crongress,
who was candidate for renomina-
rion on the platform,"I am an Ameri-
can, a Republican and a Christian"
received very substantial majority
at the primary election held on Aug.
list. Miss Robertson's speech on the
tariff which was published in full in
the American Economist of July IA,
was one of the most important Tariff
speeches delivered in Congress in
many years and doubtless had great
leal to do with her denomination.
Miss Robertson has opposed the
soldiers bonus on the ground that it
would be too great an additional bur
den on the already overtaxed people
of the country. Her interest in the
soldiers, however, was shown during
the late war by the fact that the
wearing of the uniform entitled the
soldier to free meals a, any one OF
her chain of restaurants. 1t was
thus that she exemplified her Ameri
canism. her Republicanism and her
Christianity. We wish there were
