Teach More Farming in
Agricultural Schools

All over Our Country there is
growing demand that agricul-
tural cole ges minimize training
in professions and do more train
ing of students in real farming.
There will always be a per-
centage of young people from the
farms entering the professions,
but it should not be the business
of the farmer colleges to train
them in that direction.
Norway has AZ agricultural
colleges besides high schools and
training schools to teach farming,
all combining themselves to pro-
ducing better tillers of the soil.
Ohio is providing training
schools to fit young farmers for
doing all the repairing of machin-
cry and building work of every
description on the farm. Farm
colleges in Our Country will have
to make a better record in this
direction.

SOUTH ENJOYS
PROSPEROUSERA
Farmers Over the Entire South
Enjoying Prosperous
Times

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 16.-They
are singing Dixie" more happily in
the South these days. Farmers and
their families gather about the
hearths at night to return thanks for
bumper crops. 1t is the happiest
harvest in a decade.
Bumper cotton, corn and hay
crops, the greatest yield in many
years, are bringing countless millions
'of dollars to Southern planters.
Mortgages will be lifted on hun
dreds and hundreds of farms this
winter. Many farmers are turning
some of their dollars to improving
their soil by planting new crops and
planting fertilizers.
Farmers, too, are continuing the
work of diversifying their crops. The
dairying industry and the growing
of vegetables and fruits are taking
big steps forward.
The farmers little nest-eggs, usu-
ally just large enough to tide them
over from harvest to harvest, are de-
Iveloping into stable bank accounts.
Better food is on the farmers table;
clothing on his wife's and children's
backs, better furnishings in his home
and perhaps a new car.
That is why they are singing
"Dixie" more happily in Georgia
and throughout the South these days

Reasonable Taxation
Basis of Prosperity

There is a point in taxation at
which industry tends to break
down, and prosperity gives place
to hard times and panic. Moth
ing can prevent such an occur
renee except curtailment of taxes.
That is hard to accomplish, be-
cause axes themselves go to the
upbuilding of an army of govern
ment employees who can swing
elections. Federal, State and To-
cal government should be investi-
gated and extraneous and need
less activities welded out. There is
no other way to maintain pros
perity on a permanent basis.

EDITO RIAL s
Boosters and
Knockers

Ii is a time-honored American
tradition that a man must never
speak anything but good OF his
native town. RE must blind his
eyes to its faults; or, at least, ne
must never say anything about
them.
This is the tradition that has
gwen rise to Boosters cubs, to
slogans of "Boost--don knock
and the like.
Not a bad idea, this praising
your home town. Civic patriot
ism is a fine thing.
But many times the highest
form of civic patriotism lies in
criticising your town for all you
are worth. Faults don't drop out
of existence if they are ignored.
The only way to make a town
all it ought to be is by calling at
tention to its defects until people
are ready to abolish them.
Boosters are good. But some
times a good knocker is worth a
lot more.
We do not refer to the street
corner knocker-the fellow who
simply knocks wherever he may
be. The man who dares to con-
structively criticize-or knock =
must be willing and ready to join
Others in remedying the faults he
sees.
1t isn't difficult for a town to
hypnotic itself into believing that
it has all the fine things of life,
that it is the king bee of them all.
Towns like individuals, have their
faults as we'll as their good quail
ties. 1t is finding and correcting
the faults which leads to greater
things.
Don't hesitate to criticize in
constructive way-provided you
are willing to devote YOUR time
and your CASH to remedy the
thing you dislike.
Idle, indiscriminate knocking is
the effervenscence of effete brain,
the braying Of disgruntled ass.

The loss of IT out of % seaplanes
in a storm at Baltimore recently
helps illustrate the futility of these
enthusiasts who dream tina the air.
plane has made "obsolete the rest of
a modern navy"
Because an airplane can destroy a
battleship, they say, why have bet
tleship? Well, one of the reasons is
precisely this accident,
That storm did not wreck any
ships, even the smallest Ships sail
such storms all the time. An attack
ing fleet might readily pick a much
worse day. If it did, airplanes would
be helpless even to try to repel it,
Another illustration: On Navy
Day naval plane flew from San
Francisco to Fresno, 200 miles in
ward. 1t was not bad day. There
was no storm, but San Francisco
was foggy and there was an autumn
al haze IN the interior.
The plane had no Elusive fleet to
search out, but only the widespread
city of Fresno, living in the sun in a
known location. The plane got lost in
the fog, and was several extra hours
finding Fresno, which was invisible
in the Indian summer haze until
within three miles. There are not en-
ough aircraft in the world infallibly
to have spotted an enemy fleet on
such day.
Aircraft are the newest, and in
many respects the most important

COOLIDGE ON
INHERITANCE TAX

Presiden Coolidge is reported as
willing to consider leaving to the
tates some of the sources of re-
venus, like the inheritance tax, but
he suggests that the states in turn
give up some of their demands on
he national government to saddle ex
pense properly local. If states want
he national government to build
Dads, tlfey must expect the national
government to collect some of the
axes out of which such roads must
lie paid for.
Doubtless in principle this is cor
rect. But there are certain excep-
tions.
The national government has al
ways improved harbors and naviga-
bic streams, which are located in a
few states, but whose development
is in the common interest. And there
are certain through roads which are
IF more general than local import
ance. Transcontinental travellers
need better roads through Nevada
and Utah, for instance, than these
states can or should furnish.
1t is proper for the nation to assess
taxes against all of us to supplement
the cost Of such roads. But the more
national treasury part of the cost of
purely local improvements, on the
hallucination that this is a way of
getting them for nothing, has no ex-
cuse for further tolerance.

Prefers Cellar to Other 26O
 Rooms Of Residence

London, April IS, -- Sir Everard Hambro, q director of the Bank of England, who died recently at the age of S3, was owner of one of the largest residences in the world, but he never called it a palace or a castle, preferring 1t to be known always merely as his home. The Hambro house in Dorsetshire was known 10 the neighbors as Milton Abbey, getting it's name from the fact that originally it was a monas- tery. It was remodeled many years ago by Sir Everard and, taking in all the old hooks of the ancient buildings, was found to have about 260 rooms.
 Sir Everard was extremely simple in his tastes, and one of his favorite remarks to his intimate friends was that his home contained about 255 rooms more than he required. Out side of his library, the faVorite haunt of Sir Everard was the hase- ment. Here he had fixed up work shop, and spent many hours each day pottering with hammers and saws and other tools used by work. CTS in wood. The banker frequent ly remarked that he had always, ir way regretted that he had not been a cabinet maker by trade.
 The Hambro London banking firm of which Sir Everard was the head, contained some of the finest financial traditions of the last cen. tury. The company assisted material. ly in the reconstruction of Italy after the financial disaster whicl overlook the country in the days ot Napoleon.
