Dame Nature Teaches Farming

The silent but irresistible forces of nature have brought the
comforts of man to their present. standard and in all probability
eventually will compel the application of a higher science to food
production. The old-fashioned farmer may resist to the last
your new-fangled notions but Dame Nature will have her way
despite the reacionary tendency.
The time is now at hand when the farmer must solve the
problem Of the insect. The Agricultural Department has done
much to help, but in all likelihood the farmer must work out his
own salvation. The Hessian fly could not, exist were it not for
the growing of wheat, barley and rye; the Colorado beetle would
run back to his native weeds were not potato crops supplied to
him asfood. The boil weevil could not exist where cotton is not
grown.
There are few insects that have several food plants, though
some may live a little time on any vegetation, but the habits and
customs of the pests would indicate that though they are so
numerous, 1t is impossible for the farmer to cope with them
Individually, their i'll effects can be greatly overcome by a
thoughtful system of crop rotation. Not all insects can be con
trolled in this way, but many Of them can. Seemingly, once more,
@ct1tal %compulsioa Is Going to give us more scientific farming.

WORKINGS OF FARM CREDIT
SYSTEM.

The Portland Oregonian explains in
a very few words the workings of
the Lenroot-Anderson farm credit bill,
and the Capper farm credit bill, in
conjunction with the farm land
banks. The brief editorial, which
follows, gives the farmer compre-
hensive idea Of this important piece
of legislation:
"By passing the Lenroot-Ander-
son farm credit bill the senate has
added another story to the structure
of which the farm land banks are the
foundation and the Capper farm Gre
dit bill is the first story. 1t COM
pletes a system of farm banking dis
tfnct from but co-ordinated with the
banks that serve other industries and
commerce. of which the federal re-
serve banks are the binding force and
the. central reservoirs of credit.
Providing for establishment of
local rural credit associations which
would make farm loans, and Of dis
count corporations which would re-
discount loans made by these associa-
lions, the Capper bill provides ma
chinery for cooperative banking
among farmers. National banks may
subscribe to the capital stock of these
taken by them with federal reserve
banks. State banks and trust COM
panies having a capital of $4,000 in
towns of 5000 population or over and
of 5000 in towns of 5000 or over
may become members of the federal
reserve banks on guaranteeing to in
crease their capital to $4,000 and
100000 respectively Thereby they
would acquire the right to rediscount
farmers paper with federal reserve
banks.

THE BELLS OF RIVERSIDE
BY T. T. Maxey

It has been said that our everyday
life Is largely fixed by the sound Of
bells OF one kind or another. but it re-
mained for Mr.. Frank Miller Of River
side, CAL, who had hobby Of col
lecting bells. to assemble the largest
collection Of bells on earth.
Each bell has history of interest
and romance. Among the noteworthies
In this collection Of approximately 450
bells are:
A bronze bell Of graceful lines, dated
1892. which long hung In the tower Of
the New Orleans cathedral and later,
by peculiar turn of fate, served on
the jail In the same city. a goat bell
Of pleasing tone. the only one Of Its
kind, found In the Swiss, Italian or
French Alps, thought to be more than
one hundred years old. A church bell
dated ITO, which, no one knows how
long, served the master of castle In
Scotland. A facsimile Of big Ben,"
the largest clock-tower bell In the
world, which hangs In the tower Of
the house Of parliament In London. An
iron horse bell from Norway-thought
to have been made about 1850. A
bronze gong, said to be more than
eighteen hundred years old, which
came from temple in China. A bronze
bell which belonged to a ship that
sailed from Boston in 1855. The ship
was wrecked, but, after lying at the
bottom of the ocean for almost 100
years, the bell was recovered. The
town crier's bell which awakened the
good people Of Bedford, Mass. the
night on which the patriot, Paul Re

INCOME JUMPS FROM
$500 TO S6S7,SS0

Financial strength is an essen
tial basis of organized labor's
standing as the protector of the
workers and the promoter of their
interests.
The increasing financial ability
of the American Federation of La
Dor is shown by glance at its
budget for the last 40 years.
In 1883 the Federation's total
receipts amounted to but $500. In
1898 the federation struggled along
with the modest amount of S20,S02.
In 1908 the receipts walked up to
S247,000. And for the 16 months
prior to the 1923 convention the
receipts reached $685. $50.

standard gradually became the
standard of the community and
benefited the non-union worker as
well as the trade union member.
Education, safety and leisure.
These words express the progress
Of organized labor in Chicago dur
ing the past thirty years. The
need for education is so easily I'M
defstood that many liberal groups
cc-operated with the trade unions
10 secure an enlarged school life
for the children of our community.
The demand for greater safety in
industry also interested men who
ielt that in other ways they had
nothing in common with trade I'M
ionists. The necessity for more
leisure time, however, was not 50
apparent to those who had aided
the trade unionistS in the promo
ton of education and safety.
Leisure rightly interpreted and
applied is the complete freedom
which enables men and women to
the fullest expression to their life
to their inherent hopes and as
pirations in the home and the com
munity. Without it, there can be
no full development of citizenship,
Without it, education dissolves.
Without it the home becomes
dreary and even religion is numbed.
when proper leisure time is
acquired, the man becomes more
productive in every way. Capital
lists and even workers were as
founded when they discovered
through experience that even the
productive capacity of the material
workshop was increased by the
shorter work day. Test after test
proved that the eight hour day was
mole productive than the ten hour
day. This not because of improved
machinery and other inventions but
because of the increased energy of
the workers. The shorter work day
has thus made it possible for men
and women alike to do more for
the home, more for the community
and more for the shop and factory
and yet have a greater life-more

PARIS PREFERS LIGHT
FORM OF AMUSEMENT

PARIS. Jan. 6.-The people of
Paris spend q quarter of a billion
francs yearly on theatres and motion
pictures. and do not care to do much
heavy thinking during the process.
Government statistics on last years
receipts Of every playhouse in Paris
warrant these statements and at the
same time supply interesting infor
nation about what pleases the tired
business men of France and his non
voting wife.
Motion picture houses. which out
number the regular theatres three to
one, took in $4,000, 600 francs in 1919,
rather more than did the theatres,
and a third of the total amusement
receipts. Last year, however,
the theaters took first places with
receipts of S6.000,000 francs, 100000
more than the movies. This in
crease seems to be due largely to
the fact that theatregoers have modi
fled their oppositional attitude to-
ward high prices of admission and
also by a revival of the typically
light and racy plays.
The government subsidized opera,
and the Opera Comique, headed the
list with the largerst receipts, each
taking in more than 100000 francs
last year, and the serious Com edo
Francois did well with 100000
francs but these institutions are
virtually without competition in their
field and they represent big por-
tion of the money paid for the
classics.
The Folies- Bergeres, where the
big scenes always hinge on the pre-
sentation of a group of handsome
showgirls, tops the list of theatres,
exceeding even the famous Comedio
Francase. The next in line among
the dramatic houses is the Palais
Royal, which always pursues policy
of giving highly spiced comedies of
family life.
