FARM EACT&:

Don't burn leaves, save them for
mulch or for the compost heap.
Get in plenty Of insect ammunition.
You will need it early and often.
Put in kohl-rabi early. This is q
fine vegetable grown early and used
tender.
Spray your peaches, plums, apricots,
ETC., each year for the prevention Of
fungus attacks.
Plant your vegetables in rows in
stead of broadcast. 1t is economical of
seed and gets bigger crops.
Tests show that the practice of
sailing hay does not make the hay
keep better. Hay cures best in the
field.
Put out poisoned bait for the snails
and slugs. They work at night while
you sleep, and they may destroy your
young plants.
If the bee cellar is efficient, a Their.
mometer inserted in the hive entrance
should show temperature Of at least
SO degrees Fahrenheit.
Cost of production is just as Inn
portant on the farm as in the factory.
Profitable agriculture demands, how
ever, that efficient and economical
distribution must follow closely upon
the heels of low cost production.
When a basement is dug, subsoil
should be put on one side and surface
soil on the other. Then, when the lawn
is graded, subsoil may be laid down
first and surface soil may be added as
top layer, as it should be.
Cattle eating large quantities of
ergot in ripe grass and hay and wad-
ing in slush, mud, and snow in winter,
may lose their hoofs, tails, and horns,
or tissues may slough in line around
the legs, just above the dewclaws.
The main object of the pure brec
beef CATTLE industry is to produce
breeding stock which transmit to their
offspring early maturity, thick flesh
ing of meat of high quality, and the
ability to use grass, roughage, and
grain economically.

Overcrowding of chicks in the
brooder house may lead to such vices
as cannibalism and tail picking. Pro-
viding 40 lineal feet of hopper space
for approximately 300 chicks has per-
mitted chicks at the Pennsylvania
State college to obtain all the feed
desired when wanted.

Home Conveniences Are
of Great Importance

Home conveniences such as light
and water are assuming greater eco
nomic significance in connection with
the production of poultry and dairy
lroducts. The high percentage of in
vestment in farm buildings adds also
to the Importance of the water system
and saves lights in their protection
against fire. The increase in number
of farm housewives who add to their
income by keeping paying guests" has
also created a larger demand for water
systems, farm light plants and gas
plants for cooking. The newer models
of farm light plants will do more than
100 jobs on the farm, all at very low
cost.

of this form of verdure, now had more
than 100000 acres planted in trees.
President Roosevelt was strongly
impressed with the wisdom of an Ar
Dor day program and threw the infiu-
ence Of his office strongly behind the
movement. The aid he gave the tree
planting received fresh impetus under
President Harding, through setting
aside Forest Protection week, when
the public, or that part of it which
uses the forests, was instructed in the
necessary care to guard the forests
againt destructive fires.
President Coolidge followed suit with
American Forest week, going even
deeper into the forest problems, and
urging that farmers plant vacant and
unproductive land with trees, and de-
velop, and tend their present woodlots.
If ]. Sterling Morton is honored as
"the Father Of Arbor Day." some kim
dred title should be devised for
Charles Lathrop Pack who has been
outstanding in carrying on the work
started by Morton. For years Mr..
Pack has gone up and down the coun.
try preaching the doctrine of "Plant
trees! Plant trees! Plant trees! 2
AS president Of the American Tree as
ISOLATION he has originated many plans
for awakening the interest Of the
American people in trees-not only in
conserving such forests as we have
now, but in planting trees to provide
for the forests of the future. He has
sponsored a Hall of Fame for Trees"
wherein may be registered those trees
which have been connected with some
historic event or which have some SIM
liar claim to fame. He has promoted
the idea of planting memorial trees
and creating Roads of Remembrance"
in honor Of the soldiers Of the World
war.
On the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding Of ArbOr day in 1922 Mr..
Pack announced his far-seeing plan for
celebrating the centennial of Arbor
day in 1872. His idea Is summed I'D
in these words. "Plant a centennial
tree and register it with the American
Tree association so that your name
will be on the honor roll of tree plant
ers and good citizens so years from
now" Since then the association has
urged this idea upon Americans so
that thousands of trees will be planted
and marked by 1872 and the centennial
celebration of that year may be made
the greatest ever held in this country.
His latest idea is that of joining in
the bicentennial celebration of the
birth of George Washington next year
by planting ten millions of trees this
year and next in honor of the Father
Of His Country, who was also a tree
lover-a living memorial to a great
man stretching clear across the coun-
try.
Arbor day Is observed in the vari-
Gus states throughout the country as

The sugar industry seems TO have
gotten ahead of itself somewhat, for
the production in 1929 showed a de-
crease of more than 10 per cent over
the 1927 output. Altogether S507 ,OO0.-
ucts were refined at the 81 plants in
this country, figure which was ap-
proximately $9O,OOO,OOO below the
1927 total.
The only products to show an In

were up 60 per cent, and blackstrap
and sirups, which were up about
per cent.

This is a ruination to this country.
Some settlers have 10 acres open.
They work and try to get a home for
themselves and for their family and
wear themselves out. 1t is all guess
work if we can stay or not.
Things have been started wrong
here, we all know that. But that is
done. The settler can not pay the
debts. They are only a few. If they
drive them away, some go to the poor
farm, the state gets the land and sells
to others. They cannot pay the debts
either. So l think the man with the

settlers pay what taxes they can or
cut the taxes in two. If that can be

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Birthday anniversaries may come
and go but one which is celebrated on
this day, Feb. II, will go on forever.
Abraham Lincoln (Honest Abe) as he
was affectionately called by his as
sociates and neighbors was born in
kentucky in 1909 and this week the
122d anniversary of his birth is cele-
brated throughout the nation. The
great emancipation, as Lincoln was
called because of his fight to free the
downtrodden negro was shot by an as
sasins bullet IL days after the de-
cisive victory of the Civil war when
Grant won over Lee April 2, 1865 and
died the day after the shooting.
In Lincoln there is inspiration for
many men, women and children who
suffer defeats and are inclined to be-
come discouraged. Honest Abe suf-
fered many adversities from his hum
BILE birth right to his grave but each
time he came right back with vim
that thrust aside opposition and placed
him one step in advance of where he
was before. He triumphed even in
death for he had won his greatest
battle-that of freeing the negro slave.

BRAVE DEEDS WORTH PRAISE

Glory untold lies hidden in the
deeds of valiant coast guardsmen on
the shores of our inland lakes and the
high seas and the latest bit that has
come to light is the dramatic rescue
Of the seventeen fishermen who were
cast adrift on Lake Erie while fishing
from the ice. The fishermen were all
saved and it was while saving them
that seven coast guardsmen were ma
rooned on the ice and faced possible
exposure and death before others
could give them a hand.
Such trifling dangers as riding in
the troughs and over the crests of
mighty storm tossed waves or Drawing
floating ice drifts do not daunt the
courage of the brave men who are
called upon always in the coolest and
stormiest of weather to save some I'M
fortunate seaman. His life is not
thought of when another's is at stake.
He goes about his duty with an iron
will and indomitable courage that has
saved many souls from watery graves.
In the Lake Erie rescue the air.
plane came into being to help heroic
ally and efficiently in the rescue
work dropping hot coffee and refresh
ments to the stranded fishermen.
This not only revived them, giving
them more strength to ward off the
cold but also instilled deeper courage
in them to await the rescue that was
to come. To battle the monster that
for ages has taken human souls when
many times within hailing distance
of land, man will resort to the air
in his aiding the brave efforts of the
coast guardsmen on the surface.

WHAT'S THE HURRY?

A speed marathon, so to speak, has
been in progress at Daytona Beach in
Florida for the past several days dur
ing which time Captain Malcolm
Campbell has put his gasoline steed
through preliminary warming-ups to
the final result that he broke the for
mer worlds ground speed record of
miles per hour or four miles per min
ute. In his preliminary heats Campbell
practiced at a speed higher than that
which has caused the deaths of many
before him and it seems to have been
a period of good luck that he did not
come to grief before his ambition had
been accomplished and the record
broken. Perhaps he thinks that his
accomplishment will help the already
too frenzied world to go more places
in a given period of time, but we
think that his efforts would have been
best spent if he were to direct them
toward avenues of making safe for
the use of the average motorist the
speed that we now have.
When the speed attained by Camp
bell or even less can only be made
while sighting the vehicle through
a telescope, then that speed can not
become practical. The only possible
good that is apparent in all these
speed tests is the possibility of find
ing weaknesses in the mechanical
makeups of cars and to incorporate
these findings in way as to make
for more safety to the motoring public

WISCONSIN PAYS AS 1T GOES

The state of Wisconsin which
is a pioneer in adopting state in
come taxes has an enviable record
in the way of paying cash for
expenditures. The following edi
torial from the Minneapolis Trib-
une tells of how carefully and
cautiously our neighbors APP
proach any bond issue project:
For many years the state of Wis
consin has had a pay -as-you-go fiscal
policy. 1t has been strictly adhered
to and it has saved the taxpayers of
that state millions. Wisconsin has no
bonded Indebtedness. Its state capitol
at Madison was built out of income.
The interest saved in building it with
out a bond issue would build another
equally expensive structure today.
Naturally, therefore, proposal
pending in the Wisconsin legislature
to issue bonds of S5,000.000 to buy
lands and erect needed buildings for
state charitable and penal institu-
tions is arOusing a good deal of in
terest and discussion, since the meth
cd proposed is constitutional amend
ment.
Already vigorous opposition to the
amendment has developed. 1t is
pointed out that the interest cost of
$4,000, 900 borrowed for 20 years would
be another 100000 and that taXpay-
ers would be required to pay 100000
a year in interest charges alone be-
fore any part of the principal was re-
tired.
Five million dollars would not seem
a large bond issue in some states, but
it does to many people in state that
has no bonded debt.
Conceivably there are cases in
which a state may be justified in is
suing bonds for public improvements.
Parsimony is often paid for at high
price. Public improvements of such
a nature that the benefits conferred
offset the principal and interest
charge may warrant special financing
to hasten their fulfillment when delays
would mean a fixed cost quite as def
mite.
WiScOnsin'S pay-aS-you-go policy
has a most definite record commend
ing it. The reception constitutional
amendment will receive when it is
submitted to vote of the people
should prove a most interesting test
of public sentiment and result in dis
cussions carrying a great deal OF
practical and worthwhile education
on state fiscal policies.
