MILK LIKELY TO ADVANCE.

Reminders of war times are still
coming up to confront the household
er. The latest is that the price of
milk is to be advanced one cent a
quart on October LIST for the ordinary
grades. Pints, however, will remain
at seven cents. 1t is expected that the
better grade will be also increased.
This announcement by the Interstate
Milk Producers Association followed
a conference in Philadelphia on Friday
last between purchasers and producers
at which agreement was reached to
pay the farmers an increase of one
cent a quart starting October l.. The
advance was approved by DR.. Clyde L.
King, who acted as arbitrator in the
argument. Midsummer dry weather,
which ~curtailed pasturage and reduced
the yield of %roughage, higher prices
for dairy feeds and increased cost of
labor were the farmers chief reasons
for asking the advance.

WE NEED
MORE BURBANKS
BY Richard Lloyd Jones.

The boy in school fifty years ago
looking upon the map OF the United
States in his geography found the vast
territory between the Pacific Coast
states and the Missouri River desig-
mated as the Great American Desert.
Since that time the surveyor has
clearly defined the state lines, and into
these states hundreds of thousands of
brave people have pioneered.
There today great cities stand, sky
scrapers pierce the sky, the hammer
is heard, business thrives, the parched
lands are kissed with irrigation ditch
es that drain the glaciers melting
flow and spread bounty and prosperity
into the lap of an aggressively pro-
gressive people.
On that desert land the great Bur-
bank lives. From out that hopeless
wilderness he brought forth fruits that
have been the wonder of the world.
Daniel Webster was a wise a
But amazement would make him wiser
were he alive today. On the floor of
the United States Senate he opposed
the acquisition of the Oregon territory
because he said, you cannot roll a
wheel out there"
Soon after Daniel made this decla-
ration a fellow by the name of Whit
MOI rolIod q rvbaoJ ont tboro On hic
wheel Whitman laid a load of apple
tree roots. With them he planted out
there what have grown to be the great
est apple orchards in the world.
The changed map has taught anew
the old lesson hat all things are pos
sible to the men who-deny defeat to
the men who dare.
Twenty years ago we used to speak
of ~undeveloped sections as "the last
west" AS we have closed in on these
unsettled places we found the new
east.
While developing ways to fertile
fields in what was nee the desolate
desert we learned much. Now aban-
doned farms in New York and New
England are attracting the college
trained agriculturist of the West. The
Carolinas and the Southern States
about them are revealing farms that
lure the Iowan, than whom there is no
better farmer known. Florida, long
looked upon as a tangled mass of semi
tropical verdure, is proving to be a
matchless garden spot. Good land Is
everywhere.
Our agricultural colleges are turn
ing out engineers to irrigate and
drain; chemists who teach us how to
replenish the soil; a~gronomists who
tell us how to grow better grain and
captains of m who show us
how to make a better product-pack
and find a better market. These col
leges are changing farming from
drudgery to a scientific profession.
Lincoln said, 81 always plucked the
thistle and planted a flower wherever
| thought a flower would grow"
Give us more Burbanks; give us
more scientifically trained men, and
we have lands enough in the United
States to feed and clothe all the PEG.
pie in the whole wide world.
