The Farm and the Farmer
BY William r. sanborn

and make merry. Let us hope that
both Preble and Union county farm
folks will have as fair a day for pic
nicking as did Wayne county farmers
on Wednesday.
Nor must we forget to mention a
reading by Mrs. Nettie Ingerman. of
Jackson township. the only woman on
the picnic days program. This was
greatly appreciated by the women
present, to whom the subject matter
was of particular interest.
A Franklin township farmer who
was a member of a threshing ring of
II wheat growers, said the crop was
light and that he did not believe that
many members of The ring had more
than 800 bushels, or at least the aver.
age per farmer would not exceed that
amount. This man said at the picnic
that he sold his crop for 81 per bushel
but that some of his neighbors had
sold for less, as he understood. The
ring was threshed by Will Bowen, Of
Fountain City. Eight of the men in
this ring, also raised a crop of oats.
Farming Now a Profession
In his address at the county picnic
Ex-Governor Harding of Iowa said tina
farming had attained the dignity O.
being a profession, and came pretty
nearly being a science. The day wheI
a young man lacking the ambition an(
ability to make things go in town, Of
to acquire a trade, could be made int
a farmer as the last resort, has passed
said the speaker. This is not the dal
of success for the Jack of all trades
We are now specializing in every linz
and this will be still truer in the fl
ture. In other words the farmer mus

farm and must farm as scientificall,
as possible. Further, he should special

report, showed a gain of PIT, 100000
bushels in the five leading grains. The
report indicates a total of 5,345, 000, 600
bushels of wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley, this being but $1,000, 600 bush
els over the annual average for the
country. The winter wheat showed 4
loss of 1000, 900 bushels, while the
spring wheat estimate increased l5,-
060. 600. indicating a total wheat har-
vest of S05, o $1,000. or about 10000, 900
bushels over the final returns in 1921.
The August estimate on corn is for
a crop of 3.017, 000, 900, a liberal gain
over the July figures, and this is very
likely to be repeated in September.

region in Missouri and Arkansas is GO

tells this about the rapidly ripeninI

DAVIS APPEALS
TO RAILROAD WORKERS

Jeff Davis. King Of Hoboes," stop
ping In Richmond on a tour through
strike centers, urged striking railroad
workers of Richmond to abstain from
violence and to hold fast in their
fight for a living wage, IN a talk at
Fifth and Main streets Wednesday
night. Davis. a widely known figure
in the labor world, had just returned
from a visit to the mining districts of
West Virginia. The miners, he said,
were suffering many h~ardships.
The question involved in>the strike,
Davis said, is not the right to work
or TO quit work, but the right to live.
The slashes in the pay of railroad
workers made by the railroad labor
board has decreased the purchasing
power of that class of workers by mil
lions of dollars, he said, and has de-
creased the business of the merchants
as a consequence of the pay cuts.

Inc scasoing British tug 'farblngcr

s. l.. yesterday noon. with the Goa 81
Guard cutter Manhattan acting as a
special escort. provided by the United
States government The Manhattau
took up the position Of honor at 81
George, relieving the Gresham. which
had followed the tug As shc steamed
down Long Island sound. Other Coast
Guard craft had been detailed in rcla 5
to escort the Harbingcr air through her
cruise down thc New England coast
The reason for the governments at
tentions. it dcvelopod Is that the Har-
bingcr has aboard II cargo Of three hun
dred cases of til" finest Canadian
whisky. I nc liquor is stored in part Of
the coal bins. with the result that The
small craft is able 20 carry only two
days supply of fuel. Consequently.
she already has had TO put in at Port

suggest that it was with ma!icc aforc-

so many ports. they do not believe in
putting undue temptation before the
skipper. and arc keeping close ovo on
the moNcL1en,s Of hie craft.
Il the Harbingor carries he cargo
through TO Nassau. they pointed out
yesterday, little profit will result from
her VOYAGE. for the price Of whisky
there is tho same as in New Brurs-
wick. In fact. the revenue men can
sec no advantage which could possibly
accrue from such trip. On the other
hand, # the cargo should disappear
some night during the voyage. perhaps

while the tug is rcplonishing her small
coal supply, the owners OF the liquor
could realize clear profit OF about
$4,000 on the sale of tho whisky at
American bootleg prices.
Such things have happened often
enough, the inspectors say. In recent
months many tugs. insuficicAtly sup
piled with coal but wcll stocked with
liquor, have been plying between the
Bahamas ard Canada. putting III at
several American ports. and several
times the government has had reason
to suspect that th, smal steamers
reached their destination better sun
piled with money and fuel than With
whisky.
Reports received by the coast guard
officers here some time ago Indicated
that tho Harbinger's cargo was des-
tined for Perth Amboy. They are
quite determined that it shall not be
landed there. Revenue men have been
placed in tho shpyards where the tug
has been laid up for repairs, and when
she sails tomorrow the work Of the
Gresham and the Manhattan will be
taken up by other cutters. who VIII
