TIPS for the Farmer


Andrew Boss, head of the department Of agronomy
at the Minnesota University Farm, advises against
any radical change in the acreage OF wheat anu
corn during the 1926 He is Of the opinion,
however, that increases in fax, alfalfa, clover ana
potato acreage is highly desirable
Less fax was produced last year than was needed
for the domestic market The demand for sweet
clover alfalfa according experts has not been
met in adequate manner
Potato growing, however, is called the annuai
guessing contest" Professor Boss, however, sug-
gests to fifteen per cent increase in the spuu
acreage.
Corn and hogs, it is estimated, will prove good
combination for 1926 and predictions arc being
made of a stronger market also for beef cattle
feeders.
normal expansion of dairy farming is to be ell
couraged on the basis of present indications.
These are tips for the farmers from experts wht
arc in close touch with market conditions. 1t is
! difficult matter to advise the agricuturist-so man!
uncertain factors enter into the business. PROF
Boss, however, seems conservative in his advic
and The Tribune passes the suggestions along TO
what they are worth.

QUESTION BOX ON
TUBERCULOSIS

ticnts often have the germs upon
their hands. They pass easily to the
hands Of Others and thence TO the
mouth. Tubcrcul0us cooks deposit
the germs upon the food thdt they
handle. Tuberculous butchcrS and
bakers do the same.
Children crawling upon . dirty
floor get the germs upon their hA7ds
or they may get the germs from
marbles, balls, and other playthingi
that have been in contact with spuA
tum upon the street deposited there
by a 4uberculous person. The germs
are also obtained from the milk Of
tuberculous cows.
5-How long after the germs get
into the body before one develops
tuberculosis?
Not all persons who get the germs
into their bodies develop active synp-
toms Of the disease. It Is probable
that most Of the germs entering the
body are destroyed before they do
any harm. On the other hand, the
germs. that lodge in the body live
and to q limited degree multiply and
even in such cases never give rise TO
active tuberculosis Of the lungs.
The enlarged glands SO often seen
in children are frequently due to
tuberculosis, yet the child may never
develop an active form Of the disease.
Such persons arc said to be infected
with latent tuberculosis. When the
disease becomes active It is called
manifest berculosis. There is good
reason to believe that most persons
bee ONE infected during childhood. If,
later in life, the disease becomes ac-
tive, it is believed in most cases to be
due Is such childhood infection.
;; Oils there any way to tell If per-
son has become infected with tuber-
! culosis?
Yes, there is a very simple test not
unlike vaccination by means of which
it can be determined whether or not
a person has become infected. From
this test it is known that most grown
people are infected with the germs
of the disease. It is not applicable
in some cases and conditions.

The Supreme Courts second decision annullng
the 1921 grain grading law seems like Staying the
slain since the trade is now regulated under the
the earlier section covering options, puts, calls,

in the earlier case holding that other sections were

that the crops were bought and sold many times.
The Grain Futures Administration reported that
accounts in excess Of 100000 bushels furnished %
per cent OF the trades.
Farmers do not trade in such units and have
rooted dislike of them, thinking that such sales in
some way affect the price Of real grain. But it was
the working of the exchanges alone that gave the
farmers the opportunity of selling wheat at $2.O5
last January. than 1t was worth, as was
proved by the later course of the markets. The
furious trading raised the price, for every option

prevented the price from failing excessively. The
utility OF the methods of the exchanges lies in its

porters. to secure themselves against loss in full

INDIAN AFFAIRS REPORT
REVEALS MANY CHANGES

Wide reorga nization of the health,
education and industrial activities
and general field ADMINISTRATION of
Indian affairs has been accomplished
during the past year, according to
the annual report Of Charles II.
Burke, Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs.
The report points out that nearly
all the schools conducted by the Fed
eral Government for the Indians were
filled with approximately $4,000 Indian
children. In accordance with the bu-
reau's policy favoring attendance of
Indian children more than $1,000
were received in public schools. The
total enrolment in all schools for the
year was 71,2S4. Tuition payments
for Indian children in the public
schools amounted to over $3l1 900.
The medical service was placed in
charge OF a United States Public
Health Service officer and the field
service divided into districts with a
Public Health Service medical officer
at the head of each district. Exten-
sive campaigns were conducted to
combat trachoma and tuberculosis.
During the year 1852 allotments
were made to individual Indians, en-
bracing 1877 acres within various
reservations, and II allotments to In
dams on the public domain compris.
