annually for each institution. The
American Bankers Association,
through its Administrative Commit
tee. has placed itself sQuarely on rec
ord a. being in favor of this measure
because 1t believes that what Is thus
Fundamentally good for farming is
good for the country.
What Farming Requires
Farming requires skill Of no mean
soTt. A farmer is ever facing new
conditions and must adjust his activi-
ties to cope with them. The problems
OF the soil, OF crop production, live
stock breeding and feeding, and bust
ness management Of the farm call for
as high an order of brain power as
any Industry. The young man of to-
day need not leave the farm for q
career. There IL abundant opportuni-
" for the exercise of his best facul-
ties In helping to develop basic
industry that affects the welfare OF
sVery human being.
In order to farm properly and eco
nomically, the farmer must be equip
ped with q high degree Of technical
skill. Farming by guesswOrk belongs
TO che past. No longer can he gauge
his activities by the position and
shape of the moon. Success demands
the application Of the best knowledge
and experience available. New prob
lsas arise daily. New solutions must
be found. Discoveries are being made
that AFFECT practical farm methods
tram end0usly. Insect pests and plant
diseases are constantly putting in
their appearance and must be com
bated by the most effective methods.
Com petition makes that imperative.
Old Ways Do Not Pay
Land prices have been soaring.
FoIlowinx the Civil War, immense
areas OF fertile land were available
almost for the asking. But today the
most emcient land is all taken up, and
the expansion Of our agricultural pro
duction must come from either in
creased yields per acre or from farm
ing the less efficient land. The higher
the price of land the greater the over
head. What was profitable on cheap
lands may be very improbable on
hish-priced land. To meet these
changing conditions requires new
stores of knowledge and new methods
Of applying knowledge.
Today many old methods Of farm
ing are inadequate and Improbable.
Time was when 1t may have been
cheaper to let a horse or COW die
rather than to go to the expense Of
calling a veterinarian. Today We
must discover new methods OF treat
lRg disease and saving our cows. We
must also discover ways and means
10 prevent disease, to improve our

The Experiment Stations
The agricultural experiment Sta.
lions have done great work not only
for the farmer but for the community
and the country as whole. They hava
developed improved methods of breed

have saved farmers Of the country

In the Kitchen: Nothing can save
the housewife more time and steps
than a table with casters in her kit

ideal, but for those who haven't a
tea wagon an ordinary table with
small wheels or castors is equally as
good.

c. & N. W. Ry.

SOME men in public life are propos-
ing to compel reductions in rates
with no thought of making such re-
auctions possible by aiding in the re-
duction of expenses.
THE railroads today are returning
back to the people by way of wages,
purchase of materials and supplies,
and taxes, almost all the money they
take in.
IF REDUCTIONS in rates are to be
had, there must first be some way OF
reducing expenses.
THE present level of freight rates is
not caused by the valuation of the
railroads nor by the net return they
are receiving.
