Isolation Theory a
Fallacy

In connection with the report tina,

oO0 IN Europe this year, the Detroit
Saturday Night very appropriately
remarks that this is lust one more
proof that the theory of American
isolation and aioofness from the affairs
OF Europe is fallacy" The theory
is certainly fallacy. for in reality
there has been neither isolation nor
alooiness. We are no more isolated
now that we have been all the time
since the Revolution. We are no
more isolated from Europe than we
are from Asia. We are isolated from
Europe more than from South Ameri

correct. The theory which certain in

Might Have Been Worse

Farmers are dissatisfied with prices
Tor their wheat but they are appalled,
when they think how much lower the
price would be if the Republican con-
gress had not enacted a tariff that
shuts out Canadian grain. Milers
would be glad of the opportunity TO
buy at the lower prices quoted for the
canadian product. In any event,
larger supply in the American market
would inevitably depress the price
still further.

Saving and the Future

The old idea OF education was com
prised between the boundaries o
''readin, ritin' and 'rithmeiic." TIL,
modern idea is that education should
prepare for life, as well for the utili.
cation of print, pen and figures.
The progress made towards a ra-
tional educational system is well
shown in statistics quoted by Samuel
II. Beach, of Rome, N. Y, president
of the savings bank division of the
American bankers association. He
said:
Two million students in schools
now ar participating in school bank
ing systems. This is "a per cent in
crease over last year. The deposits
of the students total $9,6lS,OO0, as
compared with Ss.775,000 in 1922 and
$3.50, 900 in 1921"
The banking habit is the foundation
of industrial wealth. A people which
will not save can not prosper Few
men easily learn to save after they
are grown. Habits of thrift learned in
childhood persist through adult life;
habits of spending. formed in boys
and girls. make irresponsible men and
women, too often liabilities rather
than assets to society.
Two million children learning to
save pennies in public school banking
systems are sound guarantee for
saving manhood and womanhood in
the coming generation. Nor does the
fact that the average bank account of
the school child amounts to only $3.50
mean anything. That four-eighty is
the sum of many FIVE and ten cent de-
posts, sums which bear the same re-
lation to the income of the child. as
the deposits made by his elders have
IN relation to the elders income.
lwenty-six million Americans have
savings accounts totaling Sl7, SOC. 0OO.-
600. or S665 each. The two million
school boys and girls who to-day have
their little savings accounts and thus
learn that the labor of to-day must
be conserved to some extent for the
expenditure of tomorrow, are the
countrys guarantee that in the next q
zen years the increase in our savings y
accounts will more than equal the in c
'rease in the last ten years. which was $

MR.. GUNNYSACK GETS EVEN

Old Mr. Gunnysack, whose standing

his bitter complaint that frequently de-
lay In getting a number has forced him
to sacrifice his nickel, the said nickel
being total loss because he lacked
time to walt for central to return his
coin.
The other day he approached a booth
in one of the railroad terminals as
harassed and hurried-looking young
man emerged and made a wild dash
for an about-to-depart suburban train.
Mr.. G. entered the booth, deposited his
nickel and gave his number.
"The line is busy" said Central in
a moment or two. 'I1l return your
money" And with that Mr.. G.'s nickel
fell into the little compartment pro-
vided. But 1t was not alone. with 1t

If these posts are made large enough

may not be necessary to brace them,

good way Of providing 1t is shown IN
the Illustration.
A concrete bar five inches square,
reinforced with steel rods is cast, in
a length great enough to reach dag
onally from the base Of the last line
post to point near the top Of the

mitted to the base OF the line post

Some wires extending from the top of
the line post to the base of the corner

double purpose Of further supporting

Durum Wheats Are
Spring Varieties
Differ in Adaptation and
Yielding Ability and Re-
sistance to Drought.

prepared BY the United states Department
Of Agriculturel
There are twelve varieties Of durum
wheat commercially grown IN the
United States. They differ In their
adaptation and yielding ability. resist
Ance to drought and rust. and In the
quality Of their grain. as well as In
heir appearance. They are all de-
scribed by J. Allen Clark and John II.
Martin Of the United States Depart
nent OF Agriculture in Farmers Bull
ietin 1904, "The Durum Wheat" just
published
The durum wheats are all spring va
Kettles with thick. compact heads, long
stif boards and large hard kernels.
They are grown principally In the
northern Great Plains area, where they
are best adapted because Of their re
distance to drought and rust, which en-
ables them to outyield other spring
wheats. During the past ten years the
center of the durum acreage has
moved northward and westward.
Used for Granular Flour.
Most of the durum varieties have
white (amber) kernels, snd the grain
Is used chiefly for the manufacture Of
granular flour called semolIna, from
which macaroni, spaghetti and other
alimentary pastes are made. There
usually has been an active foreign de-
mand for this wheat, but the flour
mills In this country were rot equipped
for satisfactorily grinding these wheats
and there was little demand for the
product on the domestic market More
recently, however. large mills have
been constructed for grinding durum
wheat exclusively. A considerable
trade in semolina and durum flour has
developed and finally large maca-
ronl industry has been established.
The industry now uses annually more
than 100000 bushels Of durum, or
nearly half the average annual pro-
duction In recent years.
kubanka Is High Yielding.
Kubanka is the variety best adapt
ed for all the varying conditions in
the sections producing durum wheat.
1t is high-yleldlng wheat. consider
ably resistant to rust, Of good milling
quality, and best adapted for making
both macaroni and bread.
Acme and Monad are two similar
durum varieties which are very re
sistant to stem rust. Acme Is the high
est yielding durum variety In most of
South Dakota, and Monad the best
yielding variety in North Dakota. Both
produce macaroni Of a grayish color,
considered by manufacturers less sal
able than that made from Kubanka
wheat. AIindum Is the most produc-
tive variety In Minnesota.

and the adaptation of the twelve diff
ferent varieties are discussed In the

Difficulties in Getting
Good Start of Alfalfa

There are few difficulties in the
way of getting a good start Of alfalfa
in the spring, and when these are
guarded against it is easier than to get
red clover started. 1t is of but little
use to seed alfalfa on land which is
sour in both surface and subsoil. and
even then 1t is risky until limestone
has been applied. Alfalfa can secure
the same food from humus as from
limestone, but 1t can get 1t from the
humus only as the humus decays, and
during the dry part of the summer the
humus may cease to decay sufficiently
to supply enough food, and the alfalfa
perishes. If plenty of limestone is
present the alfalfa may secure the
same kind Of food even when the hui
mus does not decompose.
