over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in farmers cooperative marketing as
sociations. and more of them are be-
ing organized on a sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has
heen given by legislation and by ad-
m~inistration activities. strong eco
nomic forces are at work to restore
a more normal relation between agri-
culture and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de
preston is more keenly realized by
other GrouaS than ever before, and
on every hand a sincere desire is be-
ing evidenced to do what can be
done safely to help the farmer bet

Agriculture, Its Improve
ment and Prospects.

Twelve months ago most Of the
100000 farmers of the United
States were starting on the long
hard climb out of the valley OF eco
nomic depression. They have not yet
attained the heights which are bath.
ed in the grateful sunshine OF pros
perity. Some. indeed, have fallen by
the why. Others are still in the val.
ley.
Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and
lock backward we can see that very
considerable ground has been gained
by tho great majority. and we can
enter the New Year with renewed
hope and with hat courage which
comes from the realization tina we
are really making progress.
A year ago. when speaking OF the
prospects for farming in 1922, l. said
while there was no reason to ex.
pect boom times for the farmer in
the near future. there was promise
Of better times. both for the farmer
and for those whose business is large
ly dependent upon him. The year has
Speaking generally. times arc better,
much better than a year ago, both for
agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good. on the whole.
Prices OF the major crops r mostly
considerably higher. While there has
been a corresponding advance in tho
prices Of the things the farmer must
buy. the total sum which farmers will
receive for the crops of this rear is
greater by a billion and a half dollars
or more than that which they re
ceived for the crops OF last year. This
will certainly mean better times on
the farm and farm folks will be able
10 ease up a little OF the grinding
they were forced to prac-
tice the preceding year.
The labor cost Of producing the
crops of 1899 was still further re.
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and moro will DO this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has been eased. This has
made It possible for many farmers
who were rather heavily involveu to
refund their ALLEGATIONS ans get
themselves in condition to win
through.
There are still some dark spots.
In some sections weather conditions
unfavorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these sections
are having a very hard time OF II.
Freight rates arc still too high. espe-
ciaiiy for those who must pay for a
long haul to market.

Authentic Farm Figures.

IEHE AVERAGE price Of farm products is higher
, today than the average for 1913. It is higher
than the average for the fiye-year period, 19091s
inclusive. This is a statement of fact based upon
q comparison of current market quotations, and
the market quotations of prewar years, as set
forth in the United States statistical abstract,
prepared annually by the department Of commerce,
and the report Of the joint commission of agricul-
tural inquiry made last year, considered by all au.
thorities to be the most authentic and comprehen.
sive review Of farm prices ever presented, the re.
port covering prices of all kinds of farm products
from the year 1890.
The reports Of the bureau of foreign commerce
show that the American farmer exported during
the fiscal year ending June 30.1921 (which incIud.
ed his 1920 harvest) over twice the quantity of
grain and grain products that he did for the fiscal
year ending juno 30, 1913 (Which included his 1912
harvest). Tho reports show that for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922 (Which included the
1927 haryestl he exported a greater quantity OF
grain and grain products than be did IN 1921.

thize with a famous Democratic
leader OF Vermont who was wont to

Probably most of US would admit
on tho other hand tllat we need

to uplift politics and government to
a higher plane.

It is thus entirely fitting that our
Legislative bodies should open their
sessions with prayer. Most OF US are
ready to admit that Vermont in COM
mon with other states needs prayer
in this particular period.
THE question thus arises, who
pray for our public servants? Most Of
our churches remember u chief
magistrate, our governor. and other
men in authority when addressing
s~uppications to the throne of grace
when we select a chaplain for
each branch df our legislature. IT

Equipment for Public Lite.

MEN in public life need three principal ~qualifica.
III tons. First of all they need vision, which
can cast itself far into the future. The problems
which come before them for solution will many
times go with a haphazard solution, and the solu.
ton may have some very dangerous results, a few
years hence.
Next to vision they need courage. A man in pub
lie life who does not have courage is like a gun
which is not loaded. 1t lacks the authoritative
power which makes it a weapon TO be feared and
respected. He should be known to those who
might subvert treasured institutions as a man who
swon't stand for it" If they try to put over a nefar-
ious scheme.
Then a man In public office needs to be willing to
90 through with what he sees as right. If he is not
he is going to be negligent many times in his duty to
the state. But these are not only the qualities of a
man in public office. They are rather funda.
mental qualities of all men who want to succeed in
business or professional life. He needs vision more
today than ever before, for without it he is going
to find it difficult to keep abreast of progress
everywhere. Without courage he is going to find
himself made the butt of men who would upset
his plans, and If he is aiming to further the inter
ests of a particular organization he is going to find
that he is not giving them half what it is his duty
to give them. His service is going to be badly
wanting.

Bible Study Course

Richmond, Va, July 21.-
More than five hundred high
school students, during the last
school year, took Bible Study
Courses as prescribed by the
State Board of Education and
took the regular State examina-
ton on these courses for credit,
| it was announced by the State
of Education today.
This represents large gain in
the number of students pursuing
such courses, it was stated.
"A maximum of one high school
unit, to be credited in lieu OF
one of the usually prescribed
high school electives. may be
secured through Bible study.
Courses are offered in both Old
and New Testament history and
Literature. On this simple plan
Bible study which follows the
State Syllabi may be pursued in
private schools, church schools,
Sunday Schools, Y. w. and Y.
M. c. AS. When the examina-
ton on the course pursued,
which is furnished by the State
Department of Education, has
been successfully passed, credit
of one-half unit will be given in
each of the three courses, the
total credit not to exceed one
unit"
"On this plan, it is pointed
out, if a student pursues a State
Syllabus throughout his four
year high school course in week
ly class periods which are often
conducted at the regular Sunday
School, it is possible for him to
complete during this one full
unit"
Because of the growing interest |
IN Bible courses for high school !
credit the State Board of Educa-
ion recently authorized the COM
nittee which originally drew up
he courses of Bible study to con-
inue its consideration of the
Bible study situation in Virginia.
Or. w. M. Forrest, University of
Virginia, is chairman of this
Committee. 1t is hoped that this
Committee will be able to make
suggestions for adj
'ancing and perfecting the pres
mt work." Superintendent Har-
Is Hart stated.
