ated, sooner than the marginal dairy
man. 1t seems to be human nature to
require something as spur-and this
spur should not be fear of facing
failure. 1t should be feeling that
he who will may succeed If he is skill
full and persistent. He thus puts him
self beyond being marginal poultry
man. This community is now excel
lent material to develop a oneness of
feeling on the need Of skill-becoming
real students of their job-and the
majority are really receptive to the
| idea of what is meant by the marginal
farmer. Here is an opportunity for
the county agent.
At one Of the extension committee
meetings in another community the
matter of potato Improvement was
suggested. whats the use?" some
one said, I'VE can't sell them anyhow"
The potato was little respected crop
here and with the yields and methods
of marketing prevailing would hardly
bring profit in years of high prices
They were all marginal farmers as far
as the potato was concerned. Low
acre yields and low market grades
not low prices-were the dominant
factors preventing success. The ques-
ton of the future of the loganberry
crop also came up. Here it is lirgely
matter of forcing out the man with
marginal yields. At present these ber-
ries are being contracted at cents
t. o. b. cannery-a price that only high
yields can stand. He who gets his four
tons or better per acre is out Of the
marginal class. Some will make it
on less tonnage, but why less when
that, like the 4O0-pound fat cow is
practical and not result of unusual
skill?
He who produces must in the fu-
ture understand more clearly all fac
tors in production Of crop or prod
uct that affect net profit. He must
realize that the margin Of profit over
necessary cost of production is con

Queer as by the market demands. No

keting is only half the job-the other
half rests with the individual, the pro-
ducing farmer. Farming is a highly
competitive business. Reducing pro.
duction to keep up profitable prices is
largely out of the question. Laws

Statewide Drive Is On
For Registration Week

The week of August to 8, inclu-
sive, has been designated as General
Registration Week in all counties Of
the state.
A president, five congressman and
a complete state and legislative ticket
are to be elected. The successful
candidates will be those who receive
a plurality vote.
In recent years there has been a
general apathy on the part of the citi-
zens of the nation and this state to-
ward elections. This is shown by the
gradual decrease in the percentage Of
the votes cast. In the presidential
election of 1920 less than 40 per cent
of the potential vote of the nation
went to the polls. The result has
been that the nation is having mi
nority instead of majority represen.
tative government.
Virtually all Of the political ills OIL
the nation can be traced to this neg
lect on the part Of the citizenship te
exercise its right of franchise. This
COAulIlOu Is UGCOuluS d lu6udC0 "
representative government.
The first duty of citizenship is to
register and vote-to take part in the
selection of the public elective Off
Gals. The man or woman who fails
to register and then to vote is not g
good citizen. 1t is the duty Of every
citizen in the state to register, ant
then to vote. Those who have regis
tered should see that their neighbors
are registered, and that all vote.
Registration is the most important
political duty in the state today fol
every citizen. Each voter should per-
sonally see that his or her immediate
neighbors are registered and vote.
