The Pennsylvania state College Di-
vision of Agriculture Extension has
recently compiled its Cow Testing As
sociation records to get at cost of
milk production with some startling
figures applicable in principle to any
section of the world, says the Research
Department of the National Associa-
tion of Farm Equipment Manufactur-
ers. Their records cover 30 cow test
ing years" The cows yielding 5000
pounds of milk and over made it at a
cost of $3.50 per hundred weight, com
pared to a cost of $5.26 for cows pro
ducing from 5000 pounds TO 1899
The cost of producing butterfat was
just exactly cut in half by the higher
producer compared with the lower, 81
cents and S1.14 being the cost and over
400 and under $50 pounds of butter
fat per year being the classes compar-
ed. Silage was a big factor.

of running water installation for the

cording to Prof. Walker, who insists
that this hackwardness on the part of
farm families is due more to lack of
information than anything else. Hence.
a motor truck was fitted up with sever
al types of water systems, kitchen
sink with simple pitcher pump that
could be installed for around $50 for

Millions OF dollars are being spent
annually by the Federal Government
for the building of highways and the
determination of the cattle ticks. A
comparatively small amount is being
expended upon the public schools. This
condition might well be reversed. There
is no good reason why some of the mil
lions collected by the Federal Govern
ment in excise and other taxes, should
not be returned to the states for the
maintenance of their public schools.
This is one of the ultimate purposes
of the campaign which has been waged
for years in congress, for the proper
recognition of the public school sys-
TEN. 1t is the objective of those who
are endeavoring to secure the enact
ment of the Towner- Sterling Education
Bill, or something like it, which has
been pending in Congress for long
time.
The Towner- Sterling Bill contem-
plates the creation of Department of
Education in the Presidents Cabinet.
This would mean that education, with
out which the nation would become in
tellectually bankrupt, should receive
the same consideration as is now ac
corded to labor, commerce, forestry,
war, and the growing of navy beans
and Berkshire hogs The school in
terests,-and that should include every
loyal citizen of America,-are not max
ing any unreasonable demands. 1t is
most inconsistent that this, the most
important phase of our economic sys-
TEN, should have been neglected so
long as it has.
The Towner- Sterling Bill, which
enemies of the public schools have sue
ceeded in side-tracking so long, pro-
vides merely for Federal Department
of Education, with secretary in the
Presidents Cabinet; for Federal Aid
to states in the elimination of litter
acy for the AmericanizatiOn of aliens,
and the proper control of foreign ele-
ments which might become a menace
to our free institutions; the physical
education and practical training of
teachers, to the end that the teaching
profession shall be placed upon high
er plane. The proposed act does not
threaten state sovereignty in the man
agement of its schools, any more than
the granting of Federal aid has taken
away the control of the states from
their highway systems.

II. NJ Atkinson, who is Chairman of
the Board Of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, declares we have
become nation of law makers and
law breakers lie says:
what we need is fewer laws on
the statute books, more respect for
law and more regard for justice in the
minds and consciences of men.
81 do not mean that we should take
less interest in government. On the
other hand, We should take more
active interest than ever before. The
greatest trouble is that too many of
us have pursued the even tenor of our
way and left the affairs of state to
the politicians and soap box orators.
The result has been that the highest
offices within the gift of the people
have been brought into more or less
disrepute and are seldom sought by
men of marked ability and high prin-
ciples.
we have defaulted in our obliga-
tions to society and need an aroused
public conscience with particular re-
ference to our duty as citizens as it
relates to the affairs of state and con-
duct of our government"

an outlook that the 1925 yield OF wheat
in the United States will be only q
little in excess Of home needs, the
wheat market today took q fresh up
ward jump Of 81 cents q bushel. Clos
ing prices on wheat were unsettled snt at
Der at 1.57a to 1853 and December
1874 to 1874. Corn finished I to lie
up, oats showing 1920 to 1c advance,
and provisions ranging from Sc decline
to a rise of 15c.
Rapid upward swings in the value
of wheat began as soon as the market
opened and they continued until short
ly before the close. Pessinistic crop
advices from Canada, vouched for by
the foremost crop expert Of that coun-
try, were current here before trading
began, and it also was confirmed that
new unofficial estimates Of wheat pro,
States had been reduced about 17.000.-
600 bushels as compared with a month
ago. Inasmuch as figures on domestic
yield already were far below last
years harvest total. the latest shrink
age Of the aggregate had an immediate late
nection with reported severe crop
losses in Canada.
One of the chief buyers Of wheat in
the speculative market was said to be
a Chicago trader who is generally
credited with ownership of the largest
holding Of wheat at present on hand
here. In this connection it was deem
ed significant in some quarters that
the greatest strength today was in the
nearest active trading month, Sep
TENDER, which went to q premium over
December. Meanwhile. miliers and
foreigners were represented as having
been active buyers today; and there
was apparent also a decided increase
