fair then he will want to take a course
in agriculture at the state university.
This was true in my case at least.
Where there Is a will there is always
a way, so see to 1t that the boy has
a chance to take an agricultural
course. He will learn things at the
agricultural college in short time
that probably Dad did not know and
it would have taken him several years
to find out by his own experience.
Experience Good.
Experience is often pretty high

to the state university and started to
study scientific agriculture, the first
thing I found out was that l did not

the legumes store up nitrogen in the

other things that l had never under

"The prohibition question is one
that will bear discussion from all
angles. After representatives of every
department in the Northwest, includ-

have been heard from, the association
will pass resolutions accordingly and
will go on record as favoring either
the one proposition or the other"
Full enforcement OF the narcotic

that will be given prominent place
in the discussions at the convention.

Do not make the mistake of trying
to keep the boy at home all the time.
Encourage him to take an active part
in church work or grange or any
other organization that is intended for
the good of the community. So many
of the great men who are leaders to-
day got their training in some organ
ization out in the country. Every COM
munity should have community cen

together and have good time. You
generally find plenty of young people

all that is needed to start the state

to give the horse-breeding industry

made:

have need for. So much of the farm
work that used to be drudgery Is a
snap now with up-to-date machinery.
This is doing much toward making
farming more pleasant occupation.
Let the boy run the machinery even
if he can not do as good work at first
as you can. The time to let the boy
learn to do things is when he is young
and wants to learn. The boy who
does not learn how to do things when
he is young, very often does not want
to learn whe nhe gets older. Boys
always want to be doing something

| stood before, then I began to realize
how much there is to learn about ag.
riculture. 1t makes agriculture an
interesting study when you begin to
learn the "how and why" of things.
1t is certainly great benefit to any
boy to have the advantage of course
, in agriculture.
Then, when the boy has taken an
agricultural course and wants to work
out some of his new ideas, let him go
ahead and do not be like the farmer
who sent his boy to the state univer-
sity to study agriculture and when
he came home he would not listen to
him but insisted that everything
should be done the way grandfather
did it. Grandfathers way was prob
ably the best way in his day, but we
have learned better methods since his
time. If your boy tells you that 1t
would be best to work into pure-bred
live stock and get rid of the scrub
stock. you had better listen to him.
When you see the kind of scrub stock
there are on some farms you can
easily guess one reason why the boys
are not interested.
Suitable Name Helps.
Another way to make the farm a
little more dignified and attractive is
to give it a suitable name. Do not
be too sentimental in choosing a name,
but choose the name that really suits
the farm. This will not only add
little dignity to the farm but it will
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1923-01-12

How to keep the boy on the farm
Is subject that has been much
talked and written about, but it seems
the problem is not yet solved, because
the boys are still drifting to the city,
says ]. e. Allensworth in recent is
sue of Hoards Dairyman. Having
been raised on the farm, among the
hills of eastern Ohio, know from my
own experience some of the things
about farm life that appeal to the
boy, and l also very well remember
the things that 1 thought took the
joy out of farm life.
In the first place believe there are
a great many farmers who do not go
at this problem in the right way. They
try to persuade and often compel the
boy to stay on the farm, and yet do
nothing to make farm life attractive
and interesting to them. I do not be-
lieve any boy should be compelled to
choose farming as his occupation I'M
less he is interested, for very few
people are successful at any occupa-
tion or business that they have not a
liking fer. Whenever farmers do
more to make farm life attractive and
interesting, then there will not be so
many boys leave the farm and go to
the city. Now let us consider a few
things that are attractive and inter-
esting to the boy.
There is more truth than poetry in
the old saying that call work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" Do not
work the boy from daylight to dark,
but give him time for recreation. You
will not lose anything by it, as the
boy who has some fun along with his
work will do more work than the boy
who has nothing to think about but
work. Where is the boy who will not
work hard to get the crops planted if
promised fishing trip?
Carry Out Promises.
And when you make the boy a
promise see that you carry it out, be-
cause If you disappoint him few
times you will lose his confidence.
Provide some outdoor games such as
croquet or tennis and let them play
baseball. Croquet is an old game but
it is game that both young and old
enjoy and anybody can afford this
game. Provide plenty of good books
and magazines for the boy to read
and no home is complete without
some musical instruments, which do
SO much to make the home cheerful.
After you have made sure that the
boy has enough time for recreation,
then give him something that will
give him an interest in the farm. Give
him pig or a calf and make him feel
he is your partner.
Give him pig or calf with the
understanding that If he does not
take care of it himself you are to get
1t back, but you need not figure in get
ting 1t back on those conditions. Or
better yet, get the boy into calf OF
pig club if there are any in the COM
munity. Let the boy show the calf
or pig at the county fair or state fair
The inspiration he gets from this, es-
pecially'if he gets blue ribbon. will
do much towards interesting him in
good live stock. And never let the
boy say that "his calf became Dad 5
cow"
Let the boy do some of the buying
and selling and give him more respon-
sibility. The boy who is not trained
to shoulder responsibility will never
make very big mark in the world.
No More Drudgery.
Then you should have as much of
the latest improved machinery as you

going to take number Of years of
intensive breeding activity to catch
up with the demand.
"Col. H. G. Whitehead, chief of the
United States army remount service,
discussing the situation a year ago,
said: "The breeding of light horses
Is in critical state" and he made a
strong appeal to jockey clubs, horse
associations, public spirited citizens

ment and assistance to the breeding
Of light horses.
"In view of these facts, when con-
sidered in connection with ideal breed.

association is firmly convinced that
the time is ripe for this state to enter
upon the breeding of horses on an
enormous scale. We ought to pro.

horses in the world in this state and
by doing SO we could bring annually
millions of dollars into the state, be.

Should the Volstead act be strictly
enforced or should it be repealed or
amended?
Whether the prohibition law, as in
eect, is capable of satisfactory and
adequate enforcement, or whether 1t
would be more advisable under exist
ing conditions to repeal it entirely,
or amend it to permit government
vending of all liquors. or the sale of
only light wines and beer, is a ques-
tion which will be thoroughly dis

Plants Give Light.

THE list OF organisms, animals and
plants reported to give of light
occasionally is very large. Those that
habitually and undoubtedly do so are
not many and the function Is little
understood Various observations tend
to show, with reference to so-called
phosphorescent mushrooms that, in
fungi. at least, q vital function akin
to respiration is seen in the emission
Of light, and that 1t Is accompanied
by oxidation of tissue and the giving
on OF carbonic acid.
Phosphoresence, or the faculty Of
emitting a visible light in darkness,
Is found clearly in certain groups OF
tho animal kingdom. especially in in
scots and myriapods; It Is rarer and
less characteristic in plants. Only
certain plants found In Brazil would
appear certainly to possess juice
