Corporation Farming?
(The Montana Farmer)

Thomas D. Campbell, nationally
known as the Montana wheat king"
through his occasional appearance
ION the air" and his articles in ma
tional magazines, declared not long
ago that bankers and rich men must
take over the farms, work them in
economical units, use the best ma
chine equipment, pay high wages TO
skilled men and. employ engineers as
managers" 49,.
These outbursts of the voluble Mr..
Campbell may bring smiles of ap-
proval back east but out here in Mon
tana, and particularly in those parts
Of Montana where Mr.. Campbell car
ried on his own we'll advertised grain
growing operations, they bring just
plain smiles. ~
Out here in Montana we know Mr..
Campbell as a most interesting char
acter, a likeable personality, a mas
ter salesman-but not as q success
full farmer. MI. Campbell. in his
farming operations in Montana, had
all of the necessary factors outlined
in his formula. He had the whole
hearted backing of bankers to- an as
founding degree in the early years
of his operations; he could handle his
gigantic wheat farm in economical
units; his costs of land rental through
the extremely advantageous leases he
was able to make make were excep-
tionally low: he paid good wages to
skilled men and he employed engi-
neers as managers and in fact used
his own engineering experience and
training in directly supervising all
operations.
With all these advantages. we
doubt whether a commission made up
Of his own friends would seriously
report that his farming operations
were successful. We can still see the
looks Of establishment on the faces of
q large delegation of Montana wheat
growers who visited his farm three
or four years ago with the expecta-
tion of seeing a model grain farm.
What they actually found were fields
overrun with weeds, badly neglected
summer fallow and many other EVIL
dences of q farming enterprise that
was rapidly going downgrade.
MI. Campbell is a most pleasing
and convincing speaker and we have
NO doubt that he has sold this idea
of gigantic wheat farms operated as
models of efficiency by bankers and
engineers to a great many people
people who have had no practical ex-
perience in growing wheat. But out
here In Montana we still smile a lit
tie when we hear the Montana wheat
king on the air or when we glance
over m of his articles in some ma
tional magazine, nicely illustrated
with scenes showing great fleets OF
tractors ION parade" We smile-but
frankly, it does get just q little tire
some.

magazines will send a correspondent

Liberalized House Rules

washington dispatches contain the
good news that the house rules have
been liheralized with the good inten-
ton at least Of expediting legislation.
1nterminahle debate, musty prece-
dents and other bars to early con-
sideration of important public bust
ness have broken down confidence in
law-making bodies. The use of the
filihuster and other weapons too often
initiate against pressing and merito-
rious measures.
Probably the most important change
In the house rules holds a petition
signed by AS members sufficient to
bring the house to a vote on whether
the committee in charge of a bill in
question shall be discharged. 1t will
be more difficult under such a rule
to smother legislation. So much leg
islation dies in committees that 1t
is essential at times to have some
method OF forcing a measure onto
The floor.
Debate also is to be limited on mo
tons. Twenty minutes is the time
set; 10 minutes for those in favor and
the same time for. those opposed.
Representative Pou. In proposing
the rules, made this very significant
statement:
las long as ! am chairman of the
rules committee there Is not going te

New York, Dec. 12.-HOllyWO0d is

out benefit of an Introductory note.
A few years ago I thought it neces-
sary to explain just who So-and-So
might be, since millions of good folk
outside Manhattan had, doubtless,
never heard of them before. Today.
thanks to cinema publicity, scores of
young men and women who were we'll
known to professional New Workers
are even better known in hundreds
of small towns across the nation.
This very morning the mail In
forms me that Jed Harris, who ran
from a tyro to the millionaire class
as a Broadway producer only to drop
most of his fortune on flons, is de-
serting for the movie money zone.
With him goes Chester Erskine, who
was hailed as a wcndrous new wizard
director when he staged "The Last
Mile" only to fall down dismalAy on
his last effort. Harris, although ex-
tremely young, is already the subject
of a dozen Broadway legends.
what's funny is that his first show
in a long time to rate fair success
Is wonder Boy" which numerically
spoofs Hollywood.
It was only q couple Of seasons
ago. as I recall it, that a young man
named Robert Montgomery. appeared
in Broadway in a flop Titled High
Hat" or High Hatters," Of some
thing like that. It lasted but a few
days and this Montgomery lad was
no great shakes in it. And look at
him now.
Helen Hayes is back on the Rialto
where she is q perennial favorite, but
every Main Street knows her now
or should. Ann Harding, who did
such a grand job In 1.-THE Trial OF
Mary Dugan," seems welded to the
film capital.

Football TRAGEDIES

Coaches throughout the nation
should give earnest thought to re-
yamping football rules to prevent
deaths on the gridiron. There has
been too much eagerness to crowd
stadiums by making the game as
spectacular as possible. In the good
old days football "a a b~one-crush-
ing sport and many were the fatali-
ties and casualties on the battlefield.
Then followed a demand for re-
form. Many mass plays were elimi-
mated. 1t began to look as though
the game would become as harmless
as soccer. Shin guards were thrown
away, the old rubber nose protector
which made q player look like a mon
ster in moleskins was discarded. Pad
ding melted away as the game be-
came one of passing, punting and
end running.
Ambitious coaches, in developing
their technique under the new order
of the day, concocted some very dan
gerous plays. The wedge on the
kickoff brought into play a most ef-
fective and crushing mass Of football
beef. Against it 4 lone tackler ran
the risk of suffering major injuries.
Other offensive formations proved
dangerous and resulted in injuries
and even death.
There is no campus victory worth
the death of one student in football
scrimmage. Accidents are bound to
happen in all forms Of competitive
sport. There is no method by which
they can be entirely eliminated. Some
hazards of sport are bound to re-
main, but the increasing death rate
on football fields demands immediate
revision of the rules. Newspaper sta
tistics chronicle usually only major
football tragedies. Hundreds are in
jured each season whose names sell
dom reach the public prints. Others
suffer through life from the effects
of overindulgence in college ath-
letics.
The game al be made safer and
just as interesting under revised
rules. Many parents devoting their
lives to the education OF a son have
had their hearts bowed down by q
football tragedy that might have been
prevented.
Unless the rules are corrected, par
ents will take the matter into their
wi hands and colleges may find
that football cannot barter the lives
of undergraduates for increased gate
receipts.
