Labor Requirements
Vary With The Crop

Ordinarily tobacco requires more
labor per acre than any other ma
Tor crop grown in the United
states. An acre of Burley tobacco
yielding from 500 to 1000 pounds,
says the department of Agricul-
ture. requires for growing, pre-
pairing for market, and marketing,
from $50 to 400 hours of labor.
Cotton in the eastern cotton states
requires from 100 to 125 hours of
labor per acre where the yield of
lint is from $50 to 200 pounds. On
the other hand, in the western
part of Texas growers on farms
Welding 14O to 100 pounds Of cot
ton per acre will normally ex-
pend only 35 to 40 hours Of labor
per acre.
In producing an acre Of potatoes
from 65 to 100 hours Of labor are
normally used. Labor require
merits in corr production vary
widely. I'm the Corn Belt. where
large machines are used in large
level fields, a bushel of corn can
be produced with about 0.5 hour
of labor. whereas in certain south
ern states about 2.5 hours labor are
required for producing a bushel
Tobacco, cotton, sugar beets, 20
tatoes, fruit, and truck crops alb
sorb relatively large quantities OF
labor. Corn. the grain sorghums,
and peanuts need less. Hay and
small grain crops are usually Pre-
duced with the least labor. Re
ouirements for producing a bushel
of wheat range from about 0.3

affect labor requirements. It
should be noted, too, that labor
expended per acre is not always
a reliable basis of comparison be-
tween crops. Thus in the New
England States more labor is used
on an acre of potatoes than in
other late potato districts. Never
theless, higher yields in the New
England states make it possible
to produce a given quantity of po-
tatoes with no greater expendi-
ture of labor than is necessary in
other districts.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
THE PSYCHOLOGY OLA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP NOBODY THOUGHT
WRESTLERS LILY
BY. PHILIP MARTIN


THE courage of a race horse that
L gargles dust with fortitude
and leaps from behind at the last
to win-that is how n golf pro-
fessional described Tommy Ar
mour, the Scottish = American
golfer from Washington, D. c..
who won the American golf crown
for 1927.
1t was an uphill fight and Ar
mour held on with fine determine
ton and nerve. In the last round
he firted with disaster time and
again. but when the crucial mo-
ment came he had the stuff.
For the last five holes he had to
shoot one under par to tie Harry
Cooper, who had established a
lead with a rush. He came to the
four-par eighteenth hole with the
realization he must make a birdie
three even to tie Cooper. His drive
was good. His iron shot landed
five feet from the hole.
Think how much depended on
that last putt! With 1000 people
watching, straining and roofing
for him with the human sympathy
that goes to the man fighting up
hill, they hoped he would sink
hat putt. 1t was only another
putt for Armour. He did it.
The playoff battle with Cooper
was equally thrilling and demon
~strative of the iron nerve that it
takes TO win a golf championship.
A stroke behind at the fifteenth
hole. Armour kept coming up.
and Cooper. fighting desperately
ahead to retain his slight advan-
tage. knew he was coming up.
THAT. as the psychologists say, was
his greatest handicap. He knew
Armour was coming up. he knew
that he must not slip or Armour
vould sweep past him. he knew
that a few bad wailops would spell
ruin.
Whether the PSYCHOLOGISTS are
right or not. Tommy Armour is
the new golf champion Of the
United States. lie cut Cooper
down to even on the fifteenth.
Perhaps Cooper knew then that he
was lost. Perhaps that is why he
lest. The final score gave Armour
rs. Cooper 10.

the statements made therein.

Seek ye first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto

| was under the doctors care for
about IS years, during which time
| was on the operating table five
times. After suffering for several
years with appendicitis, | had an
operation but | did not get well.
Three months later l was again
on the operating table and had an
ovary removed. This operation
also gave no result. The doctors
did not seem to know what was
the trouble. Medicine gave me no
relief and | grew worse and worse.
My stomach got so bad | could
hardly eat anything and for about
a year and half | was in constant
pain and agony.
The doctors then said l had OBJ
structon of the bowels and | was
taken to the hospital in a very
serious condition. This time they
removed three tumors, part of the
large bowels, and a sponge which
was perhaps left from my first
operation. My life was in despair
for sometime. After staying in
the hospital two months, | went
home but very soon was again on
the operating table. My health
then began to improve somewhat
but in 1918 | took the flu. Double
pneumonia and pleurisy set in.
1t was at this time that our
baby was born. Doctors gave me
up and said it vas not in their
power nor in medicine to save my
life. The Lord called home two OF
our children at this time.
Shortly after this | contracted
a cough which doctors nor medi-
cine could give no relief. Not on
" was my stomach very bad, but
beganto spit up blood. That sum
mer | was not able to lie down
to sleep but had to sit in a chair.

ton grew worse until ! was con-
fined to my bed most of the time.

%tubercular and they sent me TO the
sanitarium. / only grew weaker
and became very homesick as |
had left two small children in the
care of others. Those at the sani-
tarium found no germs and so
came home, but / continued to
have hemorrhages and was con-
fined TO nv bed most of the time.
NV doctor suggested that ] go
away so | went to Great Falls and
there went through the clinic.

stomach also that my lungs were
affected. They could not do any
thing for me at this time because
I was too weak. ] vas put on a

THE SERVICE COUNCIL REPORT

There is much food for serious thought in the report
as published in yesterdays Press
The report buntly calls attention to several start
ing needs, particularly with reference to juvenile de
nquency and the need for proper recreationa facl-
es as we'll as clinics where those requiring treatment
can obtain attention.
AS proof that recreation center is needed the re-
port submits the statement that the major portion of
delinquency among juveniles occurs between 8 D. m.
and midnight. If recreation center under proper
supervision were available undoubtedly much of the de
llnquency could be eliminated
ne local post of the American Legion has in mind
recreation center for the city its grounds Just
north of the city limits, and the development of this
tract may help to solve the problem
nome for delinquent children is pointed out as
county necessity At present county deinquents are
boarded out IN other cities at best unsatisfactory
and expensive method.
The report recommends the systematizing of drives
for various community activities and urges organiza-
tons depending the public for support to reduce
their budgets to minimum figures, and conduct their
campaigns on schedule that the financial burden
Will not fal on the community at inopportune times
The council represents % organizations functonng

to bring about community beterment. Its efforts de-

THE THIRD DECREE

1t is not cheaply Sensational magazine feeding on
love for the morbid, which publishes the horrible
Citations of the Third Degree by Oswald Garrison
Willard. 1t is the conservative decent and more or
less highbrow Harpers Monthly which gives space to
his story of "Official Lawessness"
That the police are constantly at fault in these
matters is plain It is by law that tortures are
used to extract confessions and the confessions, like
those extracted since the beginning of the world
notorously undependabe, thus giving no excuse
of use eXpedency for the breaking of the law
To this state of affairs Mr.. Willard proposes
what he calls revolutionary remedy:
"Let it be ordained that from this day forward all
officials, whether of municipality, county, state
of the federal government shall themselves cease
from all violation of the laws state and national and
of the Constitution of the United States"
1t is difficult for the type of mind represented by
those who nct the Third Degree to realize that the
harm done society a whole by these methods is
greater than the good. 1t is high time some of those
higher in authority began to realize it for them

The county clerk declares the law is driving those
intending to get married out of the state-to Ari-
zona or Mexico-for licenses, thereby making the new
regulation ineffective and deprving local ministers
and judges of marriage fees.
1t will take time to decide whether or not the law
is detrlment If it succeeds in cutting down the
