EARNING CAPACITY
IN AGRICULTURE.

"There seems to be a very close re-
lationship between what man earns
and his standing as student at COL
lege," says Dean Edward C. johnson
of the College of Agriculture, State
College of Washington.
"Those who were good students.
with plenty of initiative and a will to
work, are, in the majority of cases, in
the forefront of their profession. A
few of the good ones, through I'M
avoidable conditions, have not been a
financial success, and some rather
poor students have been successful.
The majority, however, are doing ex-
ceptionally we'll and are leading citi-
zens in the communities where they
have their homes.
ga 1914 graduate taught the first
year he left us, for $1,000 a year.
Now he is county agent in another
state at salary of $4,000 per annum.
another graduate that year in
horticulture is operating a 245-acre
farm in another state and every year
since he started he has averaged,
above his home and food for his ia

son and may largely eat up the value
of the timber before it is grown to
marketable size.
Agriculture is the largest wood-us-
ing industry in the United States.
And on the other side, the farmers of
the country taken together are its
largest timber owners. Farm wood
lots the country over reach the enor-
nous total of 191 million acres, more
than all the great holdings of COM
mercial timberlands. The farmers
have the most permanent interest in
a systematic national plan of refores-
taton. They will find profit in TAX
ing their own woodlots out of the
Stacker class and they may well take
hand in bringing about common
sense plan of reforestation based up
on necessary and equitable public con-
troll.

SUGAR TARIFF NO
AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taxed for Benefit Of
Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets
Are Not Important American
Crop.
BY n. e. MILES,


Sugar In the beet, the product Of
the farm, is given protection of SO
ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product Of the
beet sugar factory, is protected with
specific rate equivalent to from 500
to 1000 ad valorem on the basis of
present prices.
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives a prohibitive protec-
ton against the Importation Of the
product of the Canadian sugar factory,
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
receives practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar beet
In view of this farmers are asking
IL the 500 Increase in the tariff on
Cuban raw sugar contained in the
Fordney Tariff Bill Is an effort to pro-
tect the farmer or an effort to pay a
further bonus to an already sufficient
ly protected beet sugar industry.
All farmers use sugar. They usually
buy 1t in 100 pound sacks. Every time
farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays
pI.tV dS tilt IeSuit VI illc tullll VII
sugar. Half of this goes to the Gov
eminent and half of 1t to the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This Is true because we consume In
this country twice as much sugar as
we make, but the price Of sugar to the
farmer is the Cuban price plus the
tariff. But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer
pays half of this tax to the Govern
ment and half to the manufacturer Of
beet sugar in this country.
Sugar Beets Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out of this II the
raising of sugar beets was actually an
important American agricultural pur-
suit. This, however, is not the case.
The crop acreage Of sugar beets for
1920 was $685. 55. The crop acreage
for peanuts was 1,256,OOO, almost dou-
BILE the acreage devoted to the cultiva-
ton Of sugar beets.
The following table indicates the
Importance Of the acreage devoted to
sugar beets as compared with certain
nfbor rrouc.

THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO

"The story of 1915 graduate run
ming his own farm in this state is ra-
Their interesting The first year his
income was $4,000; second year, 49,
900; third year $4,000; fourth year,
$1,000; and fifth year S3,00O-the
drop apparently being the result of
the drop in the price of agricultural
products. Another lad who made ST.
200 the first year, through the some
times unavoidable fortunes of farm
ing, lost little later $4,000 in one
year.
"a graduate of the class of 1914
who taught his first year for $1,000,
was running his own fruit ranch five
years later with an annual income of
$4,000. A 1916 man who worked on
his home farm for $500 the first year,
five years later was leasing a farm
in Alberta from which he took an in
come of $4,000 a year.
"A 1913 man who became fruit in
spector in another state for 500 a
month is now pahtologist for the L.
s. Dept. of Agriculture at $4,000 a
year"

HORSES ABLE TO TELL TIME
Steeds Hired by the Hour Good Judges
Of Distance, According to This
Stable Manager.

A rider needs a strong hand and a
firm seat to ride the hired horses of a
certain suburban riding academy when
he attempts to go beyond an hours
distance from the stable, according to
the New York Sun. The rates are 50
for two hours, and the horses have be-
come so accustomed to going one hour
out and one back that when the first
hour Is reached and the rider does not
turn back toward the stable his horse
insists upon doing it for him.
Beyond this first hour, If the rider
still wishes mistakenly or extrava-
gantly to ride still farther away from
horse every twenty-five or thirty yards
as the horse attempts to turn back,
and there will be no further joy in the
ride. If he complains to the manager
Of the stable, the manager will be
politely regretful IL the rider Is a
stranger, or he will tell him the honest
truth If the rider is an old acquain-
lance.
~ get so many inexperienced
riders" the manager will tell you,
"and they have no sense of direction
and keep no track of the time, and II
1t were not for the good sense of the
horses the riders would either lose
themselves in the countryside or would
perhaps realize at some point that
their limit was nearly up and then
would come laundering in with winded
and steaming horses.
"These horses manage the ride them
selves and the riders have very little
to do with It," said the stable manager,
"and in that way they protect the
riders, they protect themselves and
they protect me-"

Elephants Raid Railway Station.

We are used to stories of how an
elephant occasionally upsets circus
but 1t Is rare we hear of an orgy Of
destruction like that which occurred
In the Malay peninsula. A herd of
wild elephants attacked railway
station, pulling down the station
masters kitchen and bathroom. They
did the same to the clerks quarters
and then tackled the station while the
office force looked on from trees. One
elephant took off an automatic weigh
ing machine as souvenir of the raid,
but finding it heavy, threw 1t down
on the track One of the elephants
trumpetpd the recall and they all went
back into the jungle except one who
fell in well and had to be cut out
by human aid, but was not detained.
BY the time help arrived after gen.
eral telegraphic alarm the huge beasts
had entirely dsappeared.-Scientific

States is primarily the problem of
using millions of idle acres.
1t takes a long time to grow mer-
charitable timber, and the vast public
interests at stake cannot, under a real
national conception of the problem, be
left to the turn of profit and loss or
the business policy of the individual.
Four-ffths of our forests are now
in private ownership, and in the ma
ture of things large proportion will
remain in private ownership. Our fu-
ture wood supply will be far from
adequate unless some definite provis-
ion is made for keeping private wood
lands in the continuous production OF
timber on some basis equitable to
their owners.
The public must realize that the
present methods of taxation of grow
ing forests in many regions are
equivalent to taxing farm crop

while other times he doesn't. When
Willies mother told him that she did

all afternoon because he had disobeyed
her by going swimming in the river
on the day previous, Willie carried
out his mothers instructions to the
letter He did not leave the building
all afternoon. When Willie's mother
arrived home from her shopping tour
late In the day, however, she was sur
prised to find that her sons hair was
wet.

mother.
"Nope," Willie replied.
"Then how did you get your hair
wet?" his mother asked.
Swimming" Willie replied.
"Swlmming?" gasped his mother.

Now you will go to bed without any
supper"
81 didn't leave the building" Willie
insisted.
"How could you 60 swimming
without leaving the bulding?' said
his mother. There's no place to swim
in this apartment house,

youngster Did you ever try the wa

Even those farmers who raise sugar
beets might properly ask in what way
their interests are being protected by
an increase in the duty on Cuban
sugar. 1t Is currently rumored that
the contract price paid the farmer for
sugar beets during the coming season
viii be from $500 to $3.50 a ton.
The average pre-war price with the
tariff at 1c was 1857, approximately
the price that will be paid farmers
during the coming season with the
tariff increased 500.
Very few farmers grow wool, but all
farmers wear clothes. American grown
wool, the product of the American
farm, is one of the chief rallying cries
Of the high tariff exponent.
Fallaoy Of Wool "Protectlon"
Farmers are clad in md-winter
mostly in cotton and shoddy. and yet
the wooden manufacturer today Is
given 45 cents pound protection on
the entire weight Of the farmers
clothing on the basis that 1t is all wool.
He passes this additional cost on TO
the farmer, but gives the wool grower
about one-third OF this 40 cents in In
creased price of wool.
A foreign piece of mems suiting
weighing eighteen ounces to the yard
is 400 cotton, 809s wool and 309s
wool shoddy, costing on the present
parable domestic fabric costs $1.75
Under the Fordney Tariff the duty
would be 24ee of this s1.75, or 42c
the weight duty at SOC pound, 1890,
and the landing charge 912c, making
the foreign fabric cost here S1.95.
Under the present Emergency Tariff,
with Its 45c a pound weight duty, the
'abrlc would cost sos as against the
American price of $l.75.
The wool grower would get loc pro
lection per pound instead Of the 45c
weight duty, the manufacturer keep
ing SOC OF the weight duty, but charg-
ing the farmer who buys clothing the
full 45c.
The American farmer should be In
terested to find out why t. is that his
common agricultural implements man
ufactured in the United States can be
bought for less by the European farm
er than he has to pay for them,
thanks to the protective tariff. For
instance, he should inquire why he
has TO pay Ss.9l dozen for shovel
manufactured in this country while
the Identical shovel exported can be
hnupht in Eurone for 81 no
With these facts In mind II Is time
that the American farmer let himself
be heard In protest against protec'
tive tariff which most cmphatically
does not give him a square deal

WOOD FOR THE NATION.

The United States produces over
one half of the entire lumber cut of
the world, and uses $50 of that
amount right here at home.
We have over so million acres
which have been denuded to the point
Of absolute idleness so far as the pro-
duction of any timber of commercial
value is concerned; this is an area
greater than all the forests of
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Germany, Switzerland, Spain and
Portugal. We have other enormous
areas of cut-over land now growing
but a fraction of the amount of tim
Der which they might produce. We
are adding to these areas of idle or
largely idle land from 10 to Is mil
lion acres every year, as forest fires
and destructive logging progress.
