AN IMPORTANT FACTOR

What fixes the value OF farm land?
Not the fertility of the soil alone,
because there is a marked difference
in the selling price of equally rich
land in different sections of the
country. The location of the land.
its proximity to a trading center or
railroad or school and the social
status OF the community are all fac
tors in determining its value.
One of the most important Of these
factors is proximity to trading
point and the kind of trading point
cuts big figure in the equation.
Farm land, located near a thriving.
progressive town, commands a high
err price than land adjacent to a
stagnating town. 1t it therefore to
the interests of the residents of anv
farming community to do all in their
power to stimulate the growth and
development of their trading center.
The better the stores and the larger
the stocks carried, the higher the
standard of the schools, the more
active the churches and fraternal or
CARNATIONS, the greater the volume
OF sales in any trading point. the
more valuable viii become the farm
ing land surrounding that point
There Is always a demsnd for land

terprising town aud demand for

FREE SEED DISTRIBUTION

In 1886 the commissioner of pat
ents (then eX-officio commissioner
of agriculture, since succeeded by
the agricultural departmet) received
from abroad a considerable quantity
of seeds of many valuable and some
unknown sorts, which he distributed
among interested persons through
congressman, to be tested as to their
value
In 1889 an appropriation of $1,000
was made by congress for the en-
couragement of free distribution of
seeds, for the same purpose, there
being then no American experiment
stations or agricultural colleges.
In 1912 the report was made by
Ellsworth that 10000 packages of
seeds had been distributed, the be-
ginning of the free seed date.
In 1868, 5000 bushels Of cotton
seed had increased the dole to a to-
tai of 100000 packages, not in
Guiding $4,000 bulbs, vines, etc. At
the present time the number of pack
ages distributed is counted by mil
lions, and costs hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
The original aim was to distribute
new and perhaps valuable varieties
of seeds which would otherwise re-
main unknown. This was a COM
mendable purpose and has undoubt-
edly been of great value. But the
matter does not seem to have ended
/ there. congressman soon learned
that free distribution of seeds was
very easy way to remind farmers
at public expense of their existence.
In 1877 the commissioner of ag-
riculture recommended to congress
that free distribution of seeds be
done away with; and it is a rather
interesting fact that seemingly fully
80 per cent of the commissioners and
secretaries of agriculture since have
regularly recommended to congress
that the practice be discontinued,
and still the custom is not only con-
tinuing but actually increasing
/ Was there any reasonable belief
that the intention of the instigators
of the practice were continued and
the distribution confined to the dis
tribution of rare and unknown varie-
ties from foreign countries. there
might be some justification for the
practice, although the experiment
stations can handle such seeds better
and report more intelligently than
individual farmers; but instead the
most common sorts are sent out, the
equal of which any farmer is able
to purchase from any good scotsman,
and it is done as the cheapest kind
Of peanut political steal.
Another striking feature is that
the leading agriculturists of the
country are opposed, and the real
honest farmer squarely against it.
The only support behind the free
seed distribution is policy and cheap
polities.-Grain Reporter.

Trade Is free now in Russia.
The only restrictions are those
which govern foreign trade.
For foreign trade we have state

N our illustrious novelist,
regards NJ. Brands re-
tirement from his high post as
one Of the worst days in the
history Of France. II Is certainly
had enough. not only for France.
but for Europe. Europe is ex-
hausted by the war, and still more
by the peace. Here was an ef-
fort to restore II. Can Vt now
survive? I win not prophesy, but
I wonder.
What Is not sufficiently under
stood here Is that the fate Of
France is bound up with that OF
Europe as a whole. France can
not be prosperous in a Europe

with the great danger today Of

fled. There is a party among us
whose qualities OF mind are rather
facilite than intelligence-you will
remember de Mussets epigram.
They will, no doubt, come into
power now, and they appear to
think that France-unlike the
other nations--is so self.support.
ing that she can stand alone. No
nation can stand alone today.
In old times isolation was at
least possible, even II 1t was
sometimes inconvenient, and
brought such troubles as famine
in Its train.
Today It simply cannot be. The
progress Of industry, the division
of labor, the specialization OF
countries in producing that for
which they are most suited, has
made us all .nterdependent.

low stage of development with re-
gar dto our productive forces and

still in store for us. and it would
be absurd or worse than absurd
to let that fact trouble us.
We have begun to lay the foun-

In this field, tho most fundamental
things still remain undone. And
we here face the most important OF
our tasks, from the viewpoint Of
theory. OF the practical needs OF
the Russian Soviet Republic, and
of the international proletariat.
SIDE BY SIDE.
Communism and private tradingl
There seems to be such a dis
lance between the two, such an In
congruity in the bracketing of ;he
two together. But II we think eco
nomically for a moment, we shall
see that the two are no more In
congruous than the existence side
by side OF communism and OF pa:ri-
archal, small.peasant agriculture.
When we shall have conquered
the whole world, l think we shall
use all the gold in the world for
making public lavatortes In the
streets of some OF Its largest cities.
That would be the most appropriate
and instructive use TO which gold
could be put: for those generations
will still remember how for the
sake of gold, ten million men were
killed and thirty million were Grip
pied in the last great and liberal
ing" war OF 1914-1S, in that war
which was fought for the purpose
OF deciding which peace treaty was
worse, the Brest or the Versailles.
That generation also will Temem.
Der how, for the sake of that same
gold, twenty million men were
killed and sixty million crippled in
a war fought in 1925, or possibly
in 1929. between Japan and
America or between England and
America.
