LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON
DEAR sgd:

l am sending you a letter re-
ceived yesterday from Paula Perier
and l am asking you, "Can you beat
it,"
I know that right here you have
skipped everything else and are ask
ing, "who is the girl you were seen
with at the restaurant
l am not going to tell you who she
was yet, Sgd; l am too full of the
peculiar psychology of Paula's let
ter.
l thought I knew women, !
thought / knew everyone of their
little idiosyncrasies, l thought
knew not only what they were think
ing but the way they would work out
any given proposition, but l confess
am stumped with this.
That letter is a hummer. l know
you will agree with me there. Think
Of it Sgd, former sweetheart writes
to the. husband of the woman for
whom she was thrown, down and
pleads that he will not, in the fu-
ture, give his wife any excuse for
being unhappy!
Great Scotland, if that is not a
situation for a French farce or an
American tragedy, whichever way
you look at it, then l am boob.
l can really see nothing harmful
when woman is away from her
husband, if he takes his secretary
out for a dinner.
Yes, you've guessed it. It was

wasn't such a striking looking wo-

thing about it. I'll also be willing to
take few side bets that Paula

she were the girl.

shall tell her. I know if do not
do this Sally will. She is the frank
est and most open-m minded woman 1
have ever known.
Leslie is not jealous woman. On
the contrary, she has proved her
great love for me as we'll as her
great understanding of men by for
giving me little Jack and taking him
into her heart.
Why, do you know, Sydney, that
believe that Leslie loves that boy bet
ter than she does me.
l am not at all afraid of what Les
lie will think or say about this mat
ter, but l was much interested in
what Paula said and what she prob
ably thinks. That is the reason I
am sending her letter to you.
1t is modern viewpoint, isn't it?
My mother had the idea that if
woman had once, "fallen," as she
used to call it, she could never be
trusted again. Nowadays we find
the theory turned around. Paula has
proved that she can arise above her
early indiscretions, but she thinks
that l am not to be trusted ever
again.

their tables, but produce most of
their own food.
AS a writer of the Farm Con-
gresS puts it:
THE American wheat grower
cannot compete with the chea p
land, cheap labor and lower trans
pOrtatiOn costs of other countries,
unless he can take part of the over
head expenses Of his farm off his
wheat crop.
What is needed is a program
which will bring in revenue every
week in the year, to supplement the
wheat check. Poultry. dairy COWS
and other live stock will do this.
1t will also largely supply the
home table and convert the farm
into a we'll rounded out economic
unit.
"Furthermore, there are. other
crops, such as sugar beets, fax,
oil-producing beans and many 9th
ers, the products of which are i'm
ported in large quantities, because
the domestic supply is inadequate.
The acreage of these should be in
creased in place Of wheat" 49,
Here is a practical philosophy Of
farming that will bring results,
when inflated credits, utopian ex-
periments in price-fxing, and al.
the variegated schemes of farm
blocs and political friends of the
farmer go up in smoke.-Minneap-

DAIRY FARMING NOT A
CURE.ALL

Despite the various "campaigns"
Of newspapers and organizations
based on the theory that the dairy
COW is strong enough all by her
self to drag the wheat farmers Of
the northwest out of their mire Of
difficulties, bulletin just issued
by the farm management experts
at the University Farm advises
caution in the matter of dairy ex
pansion.
In the last decade Minnesota has
added half a million dairy cows to
her herds, bringing the total UP to
1,674,000. Moreover, the average
production of milk per COW has
probably increased appreciably.
In the same period the ratio of
cow population of the country has
Increased from 214 to 221 cows for
each thousand of human beings.
In view of these facts, and of the
recent increase in imports Of dairy
products from other countries the
bulletin makes the prudent com
n.ent that it 'is time to exercise
caution in the dairy business" 1t
goes on:
Farmers in favorable localities
who are already equipped should
probably continue in dairy produc-
ton Others whose location and
resources naturally favor the dairy
business, may we'll proceed to
grow into it. It looks like a poor
time, however, to buy into the bust
ness, or attempt to develop dairy
ing in localities not naturally fav-
orable to the industry"
The wheat-growing industry IS
sick. but it is not to he cured by

or nothing. and for which their
lands may not he we'll adapted. 1t
is quite possible to overdo the dairy
business, just as the wheat business
has been OverdOne.
1t is generally admitted, Of
course, that one-crop farming is a
mistake. What is needed is a bal
anced agriculture. Each farm
should be developed into a self
sustaining unit with its work and
production on 12-month basis.
The farmers who remain pros
porous today are those who raise
almost everything they need on

The other day 800 officers sent in
