MOVIES HELPING TO
MODERNIZE PEASANT
Old Type Of French Peasant Is
Rapidly Passing Away

Paris, July 6.--Movies in farming
centers to teach the French peasants
new methods Of cultivation have
made the people of the cities real
| ize with something of a shock that
the peasant is changing his ways.
\ The policy of keeping land hold
ings small has made the French q
| nation of proprietors, so far as such
a condition can exist. The French in
heritance laws tend toward the equal
treatment Of children in wills, SO that
, in most cases the farm Is actually di-
vided into small tracts rather than
sold and the proceeds distributed.
This love of the land, and a secre-
tiveness born of living to himself is
said by sociologists to be changing,
The farmer of today looks upon his
land as the instrument of fortune
building. He will sell it at profit for
he can buy more.
Fifty years ago the French farmer
! kept as a secret the return from his
crops and the kind and quantity of
fertilizer he used. If he needed
money he regarded borrowing with
such dsmay that he went to money
lender in another district, often at
night, and paid usurious interest to
escape publicity.
The modern farmer although still
perhaps In the minority. joins cooper
ativebuying and selling organizations,
discusses the best methods of cult
walton with his neighbors, and Is
proud to tell what good bargains he
has made.
This however. Is the rosy view of
country progress. There still remains
the old type of suspicious peasant,
guarding jealousy his bit Of land and
the secrets of his savings, hidden in
the house or buried under the floor.
This method of boarding, known as
the "woolen sock is believed by
flnanciers to explain the rapid disap-
pearance in France of gold and silver,
and even of great mass of bank
notes. The French have learned to
subscribe to bond issues, as a matter
of patriotism, but the police records
of big hauls by thieves in apparently
poor homes show that many French
men still have no use for banks.

SAYS USE OF INSULIN
HELPS In 7. B. CASES
Cure for Diabetes May Also Prove
Help In Banishing of tuberculosis,
Says DIR. Sanslm.

Saqta Barbara, Cal, July 6.-"The
discovery of insulin for the cure of
diabetes by DR.. F. G. Banting of To-
ronto, Canada, may be considered a
great aid in the anti Tuberculosis
campaign" said DR.. w. d. Sansum of
the Potter Metabolic Clinic, Santa
Barbara, Cal, today at the 9th an
nual meeting of the National Tuber-
culosis association now in session in
this city "A good many cases of
tuberculosis are also diabetic. Here
tofore the treatment of diabetes meant
a severe diet, often causing under
nourishment. although the treatment
of tuberculosis calls for the best nour-
ishment possible. Cases affected with
both diseases have in the past been
nearly hopeless"
The use of insulin, Doctor Sansum
pointed out, now frees such patients
from all diabetic symptoms, and If tu-
berculosis is present, this may be
treated with the best general diet that
the market affords. One patient under
the care of DIR. Sansum gained IS
pounds, and now weighs Is pounds
more than he ever has weighed. In
every one of his tuberculosis diabetic
cases, laboratory findings have shown
progressive improvement 1T now
appears" said DIR. Sansum. that such
patients have the same chance of re-
covery as have similar patients with
out diabetes"

through 400 miles of almost inacces-
sible canyon of the Colorado river as
geologist for a government party is TO
be the summer vacation of DR.. K. c.
Moore, state geologist of Kansas, and
head of the department of geology at
the University of Kansas. The party
under the leadership of Colonel Birds
eye, director of the topographic di-
vision Of the Geological Survey. is 10
leave Lees Ferry, Arizona, about
Aug. 1, and expects to finish the sur
Ney by the middle of October.
The primary purpose of the survey,
according to DIR. Moore, is to seek
sites for dams for the control of the
tlood waters of the Colorado in the in
terests of irrigation. and to determin-
ate sites for the development of
power.
This party is to consist OF ten per-
sons. Colonel Birdseye is to be in
charge. with Doctor Moore as geolo-
sist. assisted by two members of the
federal bureau. In addition there will
be five boatmen and a cook. Where
swiftness of current does not make it
impossible, frequent stops will be
made for examination of the topo-
graphical and geological formations.
From Lees Ferry to Needles, a dis
lance of nearly 450 miles. the river
has fall of $500 feet, DR.. Moore
said. While its general features were
fairly well described by the Powell
expedition of 1922. and the few
expeditions that have been made since
then, details are lacking. and 1t is to
supply the necessary information that
the present trip is being made.

devote 70 YEARS
TO PASSION PLAY.
Jacob and Mathilde Ruiz Have
Just Celebrated Golden Wedding

Oberammergau July 6.-Jakob and
Mathilde Ruiz have just celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary, one
more milestone in two lives which
have been devoted to the Passion
Play for 10 years. Ruiz was the vii
lage slnithy Of Oberammergau until
age pulled him away from the forge,
and is the father-i n-law of Anton
Lang, the renowned portrayer of the
| life OF Christ.
In 1850, as q babe of three, Ruiz
took his original part in Oberammer-
gau's famous play. He was then cast
as Adams son in one of the Old Tes-
lament tableaux which feature the
performances. Ten years later he az
peared as an alto soloist and in 1870
was chief assistant to the Passion
Play prologist and choir leader,
Johannes Diemer. During the per-
formances OF 1880, Diemer again held
this combination position but Rutz
often substituted for him and in 1890
replaced the leader entirely.
For centuries the Diemer family
has furnished the choir leader, Ruiz
being the only person ever to break
in on this otherwise uninterrupted
succession.
In 1870. when the Passion Play
season had to be interrupted, Ruiz
was called to the colors for the Fran
co-Prussian war. 1t was an ironcal
coincidence that he was billeted dur
ing the hostlities with a French fam
lily which had once been his guests at
Oberammergau while attending the
play.
Mother Rutz's devotion to the Pas
sion Play has expressed itself princi-
pally in hospitality caring for many
of the thousands of tourists who trek
this way every ten years. One of her
two sons lives here and took prom
inent part in last years play; the
other lives in Munich and is there
fore not eligible to the cast. Her
daughter Mathilde, the wife OF An
ton Lang, made a name for herself in
former years as a Passion Play artist.
Ruiz continues active in public life, |
as member of the village govern
ment and one of the Passion Play ex-
ecutive committeeman.

lands, government officials state, the
construction of this railroad will make
possible the development of wonder
full area of mineral lands, rich in sur
face showing of gold and silver, here
tofore too isolated to permit of profit
able operation. 1t will also bring
within the reach of rail transportation
several million acres which have been
passed upon by the biologists of the
Mexican government as potential oil
bearing lands, carrying live oil seep-
age, structure, and oil sands yielding
petroleum at surface tests.
The control of all potential and I'M
occupied oil lands in Mexico has been
vested in the National Railways of
Mexico by the Mexican government,
on the grounds according to an official
published notice; of affording adequate
fuel supplies for all of the needs of
the railroad lines in Mexico.

being carried out include the estab-
lishment of gins and compress at Con-

Mexicali, Lower California, July 6,
Bids for the construction of $50 miles
of railroad through Lower California
BY the National Railways of Mexico
will be opened soon according to an
announcement of Jose l. Lugo, mill

of Lower California.
The construction of this railroad,
government officials state, will make
available more than 100000 acres
Of farming lands, particularly adapt
ed to cotton for which water can be
obtained from the abundant flow of
the Colorado river A total of $1,000
900 has been made available for the
work, and an additional 100000
has been set aside in the treasury of
fornia for future work.
Large Construction.
This pioneering railroad construc-
ton, according to Mexican officials, Is
the biggest piece of construction work
since the United States built its Alas
kan railroad. The conditions con-
tended with are equal in hardships
and opposition from nature, but at
extremes in their variety. Cold, SHOWS
and the conquering of mountain fast
nesses prevailed in the north. This
southern operation involves combat
with terrific heat in the summer sea-
son, death dealing sand storms, mis-
cradle chill in other portions of the
year, and at all times absence of wa
ter or living thing upon which to sub
sist, except THE shores of the gulf,
where water fowl, fish, and shell fish
abound.

servants frequently are no longer able
to feed themselves. Larger cities,
such as Berlin, are being deserted by
servants out of work because the po-
sitions offered are usually in families
which are In such reduced circum-
stances that cooks and housemaids do
not care to share the family's lot.
Newspapers print many articles
about the necessity for loyalty on the
part of servants and remind the SER
wants that they lost the war swell as
the employing class and should share
the consequences.

trunk diameter of two to five feet.
The branches are slender, more or
less contorted, the lower ones often
pendulous. forming a head of mar

possible use of material which would
reduce the amount of grain needed
and some of which would otherwise
have gone to waste ON the farm.
Stubble fields played an important
part in the production of pork on
these farms and were of great value
in producing pork with minimum
amount of grain.
Where fall filters were raised the
feed of the SOW was included up to
the time of narrowing. Where no
fall filters were raised the feed of
the sow was included up to the time
the pigs went to market.
A report from one farm is given
below as an example of the expert
ments:
Between April and %, four sows
farrowed 80 pigs. Four were crush
ed by the SOW, three died of unknown
causes, and eight were chilled due
to the fact that the owner did not
visit the sow until several hours after
she farrowed; another argument for
close attention to the sows at farrow-
ing time.

were then put on a small alfalfa pas
ture and fed corn. On July IL they
were shifted to fiveacre pasture of
wheat and oats. While on this pas
ture they were fed corn enough to
keep them growing we'll during the
summer and in the fall were given
enough to finish them out by Novem-
Der 10. At this time they were PA
days of age and weighed 176 pounds,
having made gain of 80 pound a
day.
The wheat and oats made very
satisfactory pasture until it began
to head. Later the grain provided |
some feed for a short time. This
year sweet clover is being tried out |
as a pasture crop and due to the
fact that it will afford good pastur- |
age until the corn is harvested, it is |
expected that the amount of corn |
needed during August and early Sep
TENDER will be lessened.

lH ECORDS kept IN cO-OpeIdIlOI
with the Montana Extension
~ Service on seven different farm:
| in 1922 show that Montana farmers
can produce hogs that will sell vel
at the markets on a Comparatively
small amount of grain and that only
about two-thirds of the hogs borI
on these farms live to reach the pork
barrel or the breeding pen.
The object in keeping these rec
ords was to study the methods of pro
duction rather than the cost of pro
duction. Costs may vary from year
to year, depending on the price OF
feed, but the systems of production
and the amount of feed needed will
vary but little.
These records are not as accurate
as experimental data yet they afford
an interesting insight into farm prac-
tees in pork production and are val
liable for that purpose. Even if we
accept their accuracy as being ap-
proximately correct, it would not be
well to apply the conclusions drawn
from these records to the state as
a whole, for the men who kept these
records do not represent the "aver-
age" They were selected because
they were among the best hog men
in their communities, not because
they represented the average. I"
Their results can be equaled or sur
who is willing to devote the same
amount of thought, care and effort
to his hogs, and there are many
things that these men themselves can
do to make their efforts even more
successful.
Recent investigations in other
states have shown that one of the
largest factors in profitable pork pro-
duction is the number of pigs raised
per sow. The producer cannot in
fluence the price he will receive for
his pigs cent pound but he can
sometimes influence the cost of those
pigs cent a pound by giving them
the care and attention when young
that is necessary to raise a large
number of pigs per litter.
The records show that 65 sows
produced filters averaging 81 pigs
and that an average of So pigs reach
ed the pork barrel or were saved for
breeding purposes. Out of each lit
ter, "a pigs were lost. OF the 584
pigs born, 81 were born dead, two
were eaten by the SOW, "A were
