two teams can cut and shock from five
to seven acres of corn fodder in day.
By the hand method it was good
days work for man to cut and
shock one acre.
With a one-horse walking cultivator
two or three acres was a days work
for one man; 25 or 80 acres is now
possible. Where man could NOW

An emergency such as faced the
American farmers during the world
war-such an emergency as faces US
even today-would have meant failure
20 years ago. Yet, not only did we
have sufficient food for all of us, but
for over three years we fed $1,000, 900
of our Allies, a number equal to so
per cent of the total population of the
United States.
During those years, according to
the food administrator, we sent to
Great Britain, France, Italy, and Rus
STA 3S4 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour, 444,00O,0O0 pounds of beef, g.
OQO, 100000 pounds of pork, and 3d.
100000 pounds of butter.
The tractors on the farms replaced
100000 horses and mules and $780,
600 farm boys who were in military
service.
With tractor a farmer can raise
larger crops because he plows deeper,
makes better seed bed, and cult
Yates and tills the soil more and bet
ter after the crop has been planted.
He can double his output. He can
farm more than twice as much land
and do it better, with less labor and
at less expense. Not only can he
make more crops grow on the same
area but he can grow these crops on
more than twice the area.
One man and a tractor can do the
work that required so men in the
time of Napoleon.
In Kansas, in the fall of 1917, al
though $4,000 men, mostly farmers,
were in military service, 100000
acres were seeded to wheat and in the
following spring more than 24,000,00O
acres were sown to crops, so that ap-
proXimately 100000 acres of crops
were harvested in 1918, as compared
with about 100000 acres in 1909.
Generally, $4,000 or more transient
laborers went into Kansas each year
to help with the harvest, but in 1918

Generally Ignored by Coolidge

Lame Ducks" of the last Congress

President Coolidge has ignored al
most completely the political tradition
of Washington that party leaders in
Congress who have been defeated
should be cared for by the admins

by the Treasury to serve as undersec-

Senators and members of the House
who retired from office March was

Mr.. Coolidge had several oppor-
tunities. There was vacancy on the
important Interstate Commerce Com
mission which had to be filled. There
was an entire new Radio Commission
of five members to be appointed. Dele
gates had to be named to the Geneva
economic conference, and similarly
other important posts were available.

Art of Propaganda
May Be New Thing,
But Not to China

Although 1t took a World War
to develop it into an element of
everyday life. propaganda, like
powder and printing, was produced
in China long before Europe and
America became aware of its pos.
siblities.
Emperor Chieng Lung. who ruled
over China in the eighteenth cen
tury, wanted his people TO believe
that his domain embraced the
world. SO he had printed book
in which ~ European peoples and
231 tribes were represented as pay
ing tribute to him. this being
shown not only through the text
but with engra wings.
His book is included in Chi
nese collection OH exhibition at the
Congressional Library, which also
embraces a few volumes printed ir
the twelfth century. 300 years he
fore the art OF printing was de-
veloped in Europe.

ed today by vote of the board.
The resolutions announced ma

The announcement said the society
had remained inactive more than
year to permit a test of the prohlbl-
ton laws, but that the time has
come for concerted action" and the
society is profoundly convinced that
to remain inactive in a time like this
is to forsake the welfare of the
country"
What Survey Has shown.
The societys inactivity followed an
nouncement by Rev. DR.. James En-
pringham, its superintendent, that a
tour of the country had shown over
whelming sentiment for light wines
and beer. At that time Bishop VIII
liam T. Manning of the New York
diocese said the society was not Official
and had no right to speak for, the
church. The bishop declined to COM
ment on the resolutions.
The resolutions charge the eighteenth
amendment has "blemished" the Con-
stitution and its enforcement has been
"a failure, resulting in increased
drinking and drunkenness and use of
opiates, and fostering political corrup-
ton" They state that lit is inimical
to the life of any nation to retain
laws which are not and cannot be en-
forced. and that prohibition has proved
"a hinderence in the promotion Of tenn
erance." and is 'out of harmony with
the Bible"
Makes Nationwide Appeal.
The board resolved that the society
make nationwide appeal to the
clergy and the laity of the Episcopal
Church and to the American people
