posely overlooked is the mailing
ing costs which the taxpayers
are obliged to pay indirectly.
Las t year nearly 5OO,OOO.OOO
pieces of mail were franked by
members of Congress and Federal
Departments which cost the Post
Office Department $12,0OO,OOO to
transport. Of the 902,229,137
pounds sent out without pay
ment 64,394,S12 pounds were
mailed free by congressman.
There is an old English proverb
which is particularly apt-"When
nothing is enjoyed, can there be
greater waste.
Occasionally the Government
Departments produce some inter-
esting facts worthy of distribu-
ton. AS an example the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued re-
port this week showing that far
mers enjoy continued prosperity.
1t is stated that there is a posi-
bility that agriculture will stand
at some disparity for a consider
able period with urban industry,
but for the moment agriculture
is swinging toward par and the
readjustment is a healthy one.
This department also issued a
Year Book recently which con-
tains some valuable information
for farmers. In an analysis of
farm ownership and tenancy they
have discovered that the proper
ton of the farm homes rented is
only about two-thirds as large as
the proportions of city and vii
lage homes rented. The proper
ton of farm homes free of
mortgage encumbrance and occu-
pied by the owners is also larger
than in the case of other homes.
More than half of the farms in
this country are operated by full
owners. Although tenants who
rent all the land they operate
constitute over SO per cent of all
farmers, they operate less than %
per cent of the farm land.
The Federal Reserve Board
has issued some data on business
conditions from time to time and
it is considered valuable. There
are few other Federal agencies
which send out important infor-
nation but their numbers are re-
latively small. The question of
government propaganda will crop
up again at the next session
when appropriations will be ask
ed for the continuance of the
work. Meanwhile and admixture
of fact and fancy is furnished by
the bureaucrats to yawning waste
baskets.

operatively by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the Iowa
experiment station. The fact that the
minimum growing temperature for po-
tatoes is fully 10 degrees lower than
for corn would make the reverse or
this practice seem advisable, and
Yields from paintings made on various
dates from early April to the middle
of June have proved this contention
to be sound The early planting also
has the advantage of an early fall
market when prices usually are bet
ter than little later when marketing
is in full swing.
In this experiment the Rural New
Yorker variety was used and the
dates of planting were set at ten-day
intervals, beginning April 10. The
seasonal rise In temperature reaches
the 40-degree line in central Iowa
usually little before the middle OF
April. The best yields were obtained
from paintings made shortly after the
temperature passed the 40-degree line.
Paintings made after the middle of
May produced a successive decline in
yield. and between the first and last
paintings there was a spread of s.
bushels an acre. The average for the
FIVE years for the April planting was
1914 bushels and for the paintings
made the first half of June 76-2 BUSH

Legume Crops Developed
With Natural Limestone

Use OF its natural limestone re-
sources has greatly assisted st.
Charles county, Missouri. in develop
ing its legume crops from a very
small acreage to over 10000 acres of
clover, 1000 acres Of alfalfa, and ex-
tensive paintings of soy beans and
cowpeas in 1923, according TO reports
to the United States Department of
Agriculture These are especially i'm
portant crops TO ST. Charles farmers
as dairying is one of their principal
industries. No limestone was being
used in the county and practically no
clover or alfalfa grown when extern
sion work had begun there in 1913.
That year the agricultural extension
agent secured the cooperation of
about forty farmers in using lime on
acid soil as a preparation for growing
legumes.
Successful demonstrations of the
benefits of lime have Increased each
year and community limestone crush
ers for utilizing local limestone have
been installed to supply the lime. In
three years time four crushers had
been established and this year II
have been in use. Since 1920 over
5000 tons of lime have been used in
the county annually, and up to Sep
>tember / of this year, 5000 tons have
been applied, providing for a consid-
cradle Increase in the legume acreage.

Though ii Is entirely civil agency
the Department of the Interior spends
each year $3.50, 100000 of the taxpay-
ers' money on account of past wars.
This sum gees to the 256,91S soldiers
and the 290.098 dependent survivors
of soldiers of the wars from 1872 to
and through the Spanish
war. This is exclusive of another half
billion which is being paid out by the
veterans bureau, an independent
agency.
Total expenditures Of the Interior
department In the fiscal, year 1923
were 1854, .O69. larger than those
for any other branch of the govern
ment except the veterans bureau and
the War department. The department
has 1851 employees In Washington. L.
200 of them at the Government Hos
pital for the Insane.
The department, however, has one
money-making branch. 1t is the pat

of nearly 100000 a year, and ex-
penditures are $4,000 less. The of

A motorist can be excused for an
occasional omission as regards horn
ing. but there is no excuse for a sus-
tanned form of violation such as driy-

his secretary of agriculture Wallace.
Secretary Wallace In his report gave
the following as chief features of his
program:
Creation of an export corporation
to buy surplus wheat and market 1t
abroad, any loss incurred TO be as
sessed against the entire crop of the
following season.
A temporary reduction In freight
rates of Is per cent.
Creation of commission TO study
freight rates with view to a re-
adjustment relieving the farmer Of un-
due burdens.
Reduction in wheat acreage and d.
yersiication OF crops by the farmer.
Reduction in taxes by the states on
farm lands.
Secretary Wallace holds that the
sale or gift of substantial part of
our surplus wheat to countries which
are not able to buy, and which would,
therefore, take it out of the ordinary
channels of trade and competition,
would unquestionably have a helpful
effect upon domestic prices of wheat.
provided larger tariff protection were
given.
