1t is one thing for the government to guarantee
the price of farm products. 1t is an entirely differ
ent thing for the government, by providing for the
credit necessary for the operation of such an enter
prise, to aid farmers in maintaining control of their
own surplus and in marketing their crops in a regu-
lar and orderly way so that the streams of distribu-
ton will not become clogged at inopportune times.
1t is this latter plan which President Coulter of the
Agricultural college advocates, and his tecommen-
dations are entitled to attention.
DR.. Coulter is not a mere theorist on farm prob
lens. His knowledge of farming is not confined to
books and the classroom. His people for genera
tons back have been farmers. He was born and
reared on a farm. He lived the life of a farm boy
and did the work that every farm boy does. He has
added to his personal and intensive knowledge of
the farm itself long and thorough study of econor1-
les with special reference to farm problems. His
investigations, conducted as an agent of the govern
nent, have taken him all over this country and into
many foreign lands. In personal experience, in sci
entific knowledge and in keen sympathetic interest
he is qualified as few men are to deal with problems
affecting farm life, and he maintains that for the
government to guarantee farm prices would be use
less and injurious to the farmer himself. =.
In one part of his address the other evening DR..
Coulter touched on a subject which is often over
looked. The farmer, as he pointed out, has already
been debated. Does he wish to have it all over
again? During the period of initiation only a few
farmers really derived direct benefit from, the alb
normal prices, The industry as a whole gained no
advantage. Initiation was followed, certainly and
inevitably, by d~eflation, and the farmer, like prac-
tically everybody else, has suffered. Let another
era of initiation be launched and the farmers imme-
date benefits will be vague and questionable, as
they were before and he, like his neighbors, must go
through another defiation, for this must follow lust
as surely as the sun is sure to rise.

SPRAYING BY AIRPLANE,

lnefe IS al Ola IaDle ABOUT the expedlent adopt
led by certain Holland peasants for the protection
LOT their crops. The birds, it appears, had been max
ing too free with the growing barley, and at a pub
he meeting it was decided to warn the ~pilferers off
by a mandate to be solernnly read to them by the
village constable. 1t was found. however. that the
constable had such large feet that his tramping
through the fields would do more damage than the
birds themselves did. An ingenious way out of the
quandary was found. The constable seated him
self on a gate, and six stalwart men, bearing gate
and officer on their shoulders, sailed forth to the
fields, where the birds were properly and officially
warned to keep off.
A problem of somewhat similar sort arises in
connection with the protection of modern crops
from certain diseases. Everyone is familiar with
the practice OF spraying plants with chemicals to
control insect pests or parasite growths. Our po-
$tato fields are always sprayed with poisons for the
destruction Of bugs and with fundicides for the con-
troll of blight and wilt. Fruit orchards are SPRAYED
regularly and frequently, as has been discovered
with distress by some of our people who have taken
up fruit growing in the west under the impression
that the fortunate owner Of an orchard need only
sit still while nature produced apples spontaneously.
In such cases spraying is a simple, though at
times a laborious process. Horses may travel up
and down the potato rows without injuring the
crop, and there is plenty of space between the trees
of an orchard. With grain crops it is different.
Driving over a grain crop in the early stages of its
growth does it no harm. But one of the worst enc
mics OF the wheat crop, rust, attacks the grain just
before maturity, and at that time the driving Of a
sprayer through the field would be the adoption Of a
remedy fully as injurious as the disease. In this
field the airplane has possibilities.
AS an experiment a large apple orchard was
sprayed with arsenate of lead distributed by an air
plane flying just above the tree tops. The work
was thoroughly done, and the results are said to
have been entirely satisfactory. The orchard was
rid of the insects against which the attack was
made, and the work is reported to have been done
at moderate cost.
Doubtless some of the substances used for the
prevention OF blight and similar diseases would be
equally effective in the prevention of rust if there
were effective means of applying them. Perhaps
the airplane will be found to be just what is needed.
and we may see the time when each county farm
bureau or other cooperative agency will maintain
an airplane as a part of its regular equipment. Who
knows?
