THE NEW YEAR.

Before another issue of the indie
pendent reaches the hands OF our
readers a new year will have
dawned. While looking forward to
a greater and better future, we
pause to cast a retrospect over the
past and ask, What will 1924 bring ?
This, no man knows, and it is one
Of the blessings of life that he does
not. II we could see through. the
veil, we would face much unhappi-
ness, much anxiety. The year we
have just entered is a closed book,
to be opened page by page, and
there are many possibilities in the
future.
Not in many respects will the
new year differ from those Of the
past
The future must look brighter for
all mankind. Problems are to be
solved still, and dangers are now in
evidence. But men are sincerely
hopeful Of solution of the problems
and avoidance of the dangers.
Too often we approach the open
ing Of another period Of time in a
personal spirit, with hopes for in
dividual advantage, or apprehen-
sions Of direct and localized mis-
fortune. 1t is necessary to view the
prospect broadly. Is society adj
vancing towards higher ideals and
better conditions of life? Only the

Scours in Young Calves
Caused bY Indigestion

Ordinary scours in young calves are
caused by Indigestion. Either your
calf has been getting too much milk
or the milk is too rich in fat. The best
treatment for scours in young calves
is to reduce the feed. Do not let the
calf have all the milk 1t will drink. and
let 1t drink several times a day. Give
the calf about two ounces Of castor oil
to clean the bowels.

Hours of Man and Horse
Labor to Produce Crops

1t requires ten hours Of man labor
and ten hours of horse labor on the
average to produce an acre of hay. An
acre Of silage corn requires Eve times
hs many hours of man labor and six
times as many hours of horse labor
for its production as does an acre Of
hay. Potatoes and cabbage each re-
qulre ten times as many hours OF horse
labor. while small grains such as oats

quire two times as many man hours
and three times as many horse hours
as an acre OF hay.

We have always advocated eteN ii
ization Of farmers, as we believe
there is no other way for them to
exert the influence needed for the
protection OF their business. Here
tofore all efforts among our county
farmers have been confined to an
organization Of tobacco growers,
which, we believe, has already pro-
duced good results, with prospect
for fuller accomplishment, notwith-
standing the many unfavorable and
stubborn obstacles it had to meet.
This. however, is but one OF the
many local organizations that is lin
tied to one branch Of agriculture
only and therefore limited in its in
fluence on the general agricultural
situation. The Farm Bureau, how
ever, is an organization that is
sought to be made nationwide in
its scope and general in its influence.
During the week agents of the
Farm Bureau have been canvassing
the county securing memberships,
and they are rather pleased with the
response on the part Of our farm
ers. Unfortunately, farmers are
slow to inform themselves as to the
object and purpose Of such organi-
cations, and not understanding the
purpose, are slow to affiliate with
them. The object of the Farm Btu
reau is to plant or form local or
CARNATIONS or units in every COM
Imunity, which units form county
units, they in turn compose State
wide organizations that in turn are
formed into the Nationwide Blu
reau. Its purpose will be to advance
the interest of the farmer in all
branches through consolidated and
influential organization. - Calvert
