Hope of relief thru governmental

Nothing can come of it. The move
NEST to stimulate competition may
bring some results, but there is a
possibility that it will also encourage
additional production, thus offsetting
any good it may do. The expansion
of credit facilities, while proper and
useful will not of itself correct the
trouble, nor will any legislative en-
actments.
The fundamental trouble must be
corrected. Nothing else will be ef-

is no necessity for experiments of
any sort-economic, political or by
way of trying out new crops or new
farming practices. 1t has been
abundantly proven that this very
region to which the conditions under
discussion apply is susceptible to a
safe system of crop diversification
and livestock production. All that is
needed is program, generally ap
piled, which will bring a revenue
every week in the year to supplement
the wheat check. Poultry, dairy
COWS and other livestock will do this.
Such a program will provide twelve
months productive employment on
the farm instead of two. The re-
sultant lessened production of wheat
will cause an increase in price in
conformity with the law of supply
and demand.

WHAT'S THE MAT
TER WITH WHEAT

! The following article, from 1.-THE
Agricultural Review published
monthly by the International Con.
gress of Farmers, will undoubtedly
be interesting to all our readers, and
more especially those interested in
/ agriculture:
The movement recently started
for the purpose of increasing the
consumption Of wheat, together with
the revived effort to bring about
price fixing or sterilization by the
government of the United States, has
emphasized and brought to the at
tention of the entire country situa-
ton which was already well known
to many people.
The wheat belt is sick Its farm
ers are distressed by the low COM
parative price of their chief product
and by the increased production and
marketing costs. The reaction upon
all agriculture, and consequently
upon all business interests, is unmis-
takably bad. This reaction extends
far beyond the confines of the wheat
tiOnal problem-economic, indus
national prOblem-economic indus
trial and political.
Wheat is quite generally consid-
cred as the "key crop''-the stand
ard by which agricultural prosper
ity, and indirectly the general bust
ness welfare, are measured. The
situation calls for the earnest con-
sideration of all wheat growers and
OF all business interests.
The question is, what is the mat
ter with wheat?
The answer is obvious. There is
too much wheat. The agriculture of
the wheat belt has drifted danger
ously toward One-crop basis. 1t isl
out of balance. There are too many
farms that bring in little revenue
except the annual check for the
wheat crop. The very soil is tired
and its tillers are worn out by the
hopeless effort to make more acres of
wheat spell more dollars.
The time has definitely passed |
when wheat can carry all the over
head Of an average American farm,
supply the family of the owner or
renter with money to buy the food
supplies for the year, and pay the
cost of its own production and
That time may never
corne-certainly it will not until the
United States ceases to be a wheat
exporting nation, for the domestic
price is based on the world price, and
protective measures are proving at
best only partially effective. The
American farmer cannot successfully
compete with the cheap land, cheap
labor and water transportation of
other uountries, unless he can take

MAD BULL FEATURES
IN WILD RAMPAGE

TWIN FALLS. - The Guernsey
bull belonging to Albert Brown went
on rampage Sunday morning. Be-
fore he could be controlled he had
killed a horse that was being ridden
by Herbert Brown, who had been
sent up the lane after him. When
the bull saw him coming he rushed
the horse, and impaling 1t on his
horns disemboweled the animal
which in turn died from the wounds.
In this impact young Brown was
thrown from his horse onto the bulls
back, riding there while the bull still
pursued the horse, until finally
Brown fell in front of the Infatuated
animal and was fortunate enough to
catch hold of the bulls horns while
dog got busy at his heels and he
soon broke away from young Brown
or perhaps he would have killed him
also.
Sausage was made out of Mr..
Guernsey the following day and the
horse was buried near the roadside
where it fell.-Idaho Falls Post.

Salvation Army
Work Reviewed
Summer Camps, Outings
and Other Features
For The Young

10 you know Of the work of the
Salvation Army among the boys
of Alexandria? The boys who.
uncared for and unframed lose
the possibility of becoming valu-
able asset to the community. I'm
der Scout Master A. c. Cheer an
excellent troop of Boy Scouts has
been formed and much attention
has been paid TO their physical
development with Sergeant A. d.
Respers who mas served in the
United States Army.
The boys have weekly drills in
squad and fancy marching, bar
bell, hand dumb bell, drills, swim
ming, signalling semaphore ana
Morse. Then there is the life
saving work from accident, from
drowning, from fire and from
sickness; also instruction to give
clear and able directions to T.
stranger, telling him how to find
the following local places: Fire
station, postollice, hospital, tele-
graph office as well as names and
addresses Of local physicians.
There iy another society Of the
Salvation Army called the Young
Peoples Legion. composed of the
Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts and
the Soldiers. The dues are five
cents per week and every six
weeks this organization meets, the
features Of the occasion being
supper and an evening Of fun. :
For the boys there is another in
teresting feature which is an or
chestra which is being trained
under the direction of Capt.
Bousher OF Washington. He has
already fifteen pieces and the .
band is increasing in membership /
and the boys are very proud OF .
it. III the near future it is pro- /
posed to open Il gymnasium.
IN The sumner there are the
outings for the mothers and young
children. Last sumner the cap
tain took 175 mothers and chill
dren to Marshall Hall. There are
the summer camps. Snowden and
Mount Vernon IS open to any boy
VINO IS member Of the Scouts.
From business point of view
the investment in money is small
and the returns in good citizenship
very large. The reason the army
can do 50 much with so sman
an outlay Of funds is the large
amount of volunteer work ana
the small sums paid in salaries.
These activities for The youth
OF Alexandria have been built up
through the untiring energies OF
CAPT. j. =. Mcintyre. With no
equipment. merely the bare hail
of 32l King street, supplied with
chairs and a piano, the tables for
the suppers being made of bar
rels with boards stretched across.
His own bouyant cheerful spirit
and his eaeerncss to serve these
boys and gilis-your boys and
gifls--has made it possible 10
bring this measure Of happiness
and helpfuiness into their lives.
In addition 20 the other activities
that consume his time the boys
and girls are very near the cap
tain'S heart. VIII you help him?
