Restrictions of Plebeians.

Roman were called Pie

all political rights. They were for the
most part poor, and not allowed TO in
ter-marry with the Patricians. They
served in the army without pay. were
sold into slavery for debt, and could
even be cut in pieces for distribution
among their creditors. Finding their
conditions in~tolerable, the Plebeians in
400 Is. G. repaired 10 Mons Sacer, near
Rome, where they resolved 10 build
n new city but this step SO alarmed

of about 200 years the disabilities OF

Less Time k0r Agitators
More diversified farming may mean
less automobile riding; 1t ought to.
Our economic problems cannot be
solved unless we are willing to work.
The one-crop farmer is not performing
his share of work. He needs profit
able employment throughout the year.
Loafng on the farm ought to be made
unpopular Business men work
throughout the year. Why shouldn't
the farmer? II he did, there would
be less time to listen to the agitator.
The latter only increases discomfort,
makes men less capable and prolongs
the time Of recovery. The farmer
must work his way out and not look
In vain for the Government to legis-
late high prices.
But II we get our farmers to work
ing full time will we not have
production? This over-production
cry blinds us to the real issue. There
may be times when certain crops, be-
cause of climatic or economic condi-
lions, are improbable and yet there
are other crops that are profitable In
well worked out system of diversif1-
cation. In the livestock sections we
seldom hear of an over-prodution OF
alfalfa or clover. In all sections of
the country We are importing either
food or feed that we ought to be rails
ing at home. Our cropping systems
need to be readjusted to meet present
needs. We need to do just q little
more constructive thinking.

WHERE THE RAINBOW
TOUCHES THE GROUND

THE family cat died. The farmer
1 who owned the cat, in digging
the grave discovered a substance
which proved to be mari. This
farmer had been hauling limestone
a lon distance for his alfalfa
fields. In conference with his
county agent, he discovered that
mari would take the place OF lime
in correcting t g acidity of his soil.
This experience led him to the use
of mari that existed on his own
farm and saved him much time and
considerable expense In hauling.
Similar opportunities have ex-
listed and still exist. Many farmers
in the middle west will recall what
q pest sweet clover used to be.
Now this pest is being used profit
ably as hay and pasture for live
stock and as crop to be plowed
under for increasing the fertility
Of the soil.
Kansas Is called the "Sunfiower
State" and those who have lived
there will we'll remember how they
have fought this weed. Today sun
flowers are being grown as crop,
as feed for chickens and 1t is also
being utilized with or without corn
as a suitable crop for the silo.
1t is surprising to discover how
many things which were frowned
upon In days gone by are now
serving a useful purpose. These
changes have been brought about
by observation and study. Brains
count on the farm as elsewhere.
The man who thinks while he Is
performing physical work is not
only opening up the way for larger
profits but he is removing the word
drudgery from his vocabulary and
Is Transforming what used to be a
drudgery into a profitable pleasure.

to recognize this. Many OF them are

There are some fundamentals in
farming with which all business men
should be familiar A bank would
not long succeed if it should continue
to use its capital stock for running ex-

ers have been living not upon the
interest from their investments but
upon their principal. Almost every
effort by American farmers has re-

the country and observes this process
of mining the fertility from the land
should feel that to that extent the
resources Of his bank are being
Slapped.
Yet some Of our bankers are con-
tinuing to loan money to the one-crop
farmer. When such a farmer comes
around for a loan the banker should
make the loan on the condition that
he keep at least one cow, one SOW and
