Jazz For the Farms

Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas in recent
speech declared that the only way to keep young
men on the farms is to make farming pay. To make
farming pay, youth must be trained in scientific
agriculture.
There is another side Of the question, too, that
cannot be overlookcd-the eternal isolation Of the
farm and the loneliness young person must suf-
farms seeking the companionshp the city offers.
Along this line very interesting experiment was
tried out this fall at the southeast Missouri district
fair at Skeston, Mo. Jazz, style show and dancing
supplantcd the usual displays of farm products,
livestock and poultry. All the old standby exhibits
were eliminated.
The swine building was converted into big dance
floor and snappy orchestra was hired. The crst-
while poultry building housed radio exhibits. In
the former agricultural building were displayed mo-
tor cars. A good deal Of the money spent in for-
mcr years prizes for exhibits went Ia swell the
purses for horses racing at the fair. Instead Of
the canning and the needlcwork there was the style
show fer the ladies'.
Perhaps this looks like heresy, considering the
stad lines along which county fairs have been
inevitably cast, but just think it over The farmer
spends II months of tho year with his corn, his
hay, his cattle and hogs. Do you think he en- lows
his day off going from building to building, staring
at the same pigs he has had to face all year?
Perhaps little jazz is what tho farm situation
really needs. 0

But when we found that the dictionary defines
charm as "attractvcncss, the indcfnablc power Of

charm school, in certain circumstances, might be
on the right track. Personally, the word Charm
could not apply to our budgeting. We always have
too many things that must be bought and too little
money with which to buy them, which naturally
makes budgetng neither attractive nor Of indefin-

Still, we can conceive that such condition might
