the labor income was nearly three
times the average labor income.
Lower production costs can not
be attained by inefficiency. but they
can be had by eliminating the poor
acre, and producing more per acre
on the good land, through proper
soil treatment and good cultural
practices. The farmers in Morgan
county today who produce the most
corn, wheat, oats, and hay per acre.
and who have the most wool and
lambs to sell per sheep, or the most
dairy products per COW, or the most
eggs per hen, are the farmers who
are having the least difficulty in
making the farm business yield a
profit. The farmers who are get
ting these higher yields per acre
and per animal are the ones who
are putting into practice, through
the extension service, the teach
ings of their experiment station.
Warns Against Use Of Bargain
Seeds
Beware of advertisements and
mail order solicitations for so-called
bargain seeds is the warning of r.
d. Lewis, farm crops specialist at
the Ohio State university, who be-
lieves before such seeds are pur-
chased is the time to determine
whether or not they are true bar
gains or an expensive disappoint-
ment. Such lots of seed he says,
are quite apt to be Of low quality,
trashy, weedy, and poorly or not at
all adapted. Another so-called
bargain to avoid is that unreclean-
ed, untested seed which may have
been produced in the locality Few
that a law percent of weed seed in
field seed may result in very
thick distribution of such weed
seed. For example, one percent OF
weed seed in red clover may result
in distributing as high as 1905
weed seeds per pound of the red
clover sown. The use of truly
good seed, according to the crop
specialist, is one of the important
means by which the farmer can in
crease his efficiency and cut costs.
1t is folly to use seed of unknown
variety, adoption and quality, and
thereby introduce a weak link. in
the chain of economic efficiency of
production. To obtain worthwhile
crops at the lowest possible cost,
seed of known variety adaptation
and quality must be planted, for
only such seed will take full advan-
tage of the favorable conditions
brought about by thorough tillage
and other farm practices.

 That is probably correct. And so long as high tariffs restricted immigration and other restrictions to intercourse among nations continue to mount higher tighter, apparent necessary to get through national boundaries with military force will be present. Commerce cannot be shut out of green pastures with anything less effective than bayonets AS long as the national restrictive policies continue we look for peace earth.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK.

National Thrift Week began Sunday, the anni- versarv of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, called the first civilized American" It was not by reason of his cosmopolitan culture that Thrift Week opens on his natal anniversary, however but because ne was the first American to attempt to preach as well as practice the virtue of putting part of ones earnings aside for rainy day.
 Thrift is a word borrowed by the English lan- guage from the Scandinavian. It means more than hoarding money mser hoards his wealth but does not thereby qualify for the reputation of being thrifty Thrift, says standard dictionary is "care and prudence in the management of ones resources. To be thrifty in the words of the En- cyclopeda Britannica, is ito be prosperous.
 safe investment is of an evidence of thrift than a savings deposit account Never was there a time in the history of the United States when good investments were so cheaply to be had. And investments are not necessarily confined to stocks and bonds. They can be made to advantage today in all of the necessaries of life in food cloth ing real estate homes furniture for homes, in the thousand and one things including labor, that go to make life livable.
 Economists say that one of the most serious problems facing today is to induce people with money to spend it for things they actually need There has been since the crash of 1929, too wide spread a tendency to hoard money as if it were something of value in itself It is of course, the part of wisdom to save money. But like every other practice it can be overdone To spend wisely and in time is wise as to save when frugal1ty is the greater need.
 The need today is not to pile up idle bank accounts It is for spending judiciously. Every dollar so expended under current market conditions will bring returns greater than be achieved after the effects of depression begin to evaporate That is lesson that ought to be heavily emphasized in this years National Thrift Week,

Japan "Off Gold"
Manchester Guardian.)

It is less surprising that Japan has gone off gold" than that she has remained it so long. Her financial difficulties have been actue for several months She has watched closely the effects of sterling depreciation the Lancashire cotton trade, and much has been heard in the Japanese papers of the advantage that has been given to Lancashire goods in all the markets in which Japan and Lan- ashre meet in keen competition Actually Lancashire has probably gained less by the cheaper pound than was generally expected, but with the cheaper yen many hopes will dwindle or disappear. The recent recovery in Lancashires trade with China is in the main attributable less to the lower value of the pound than to the ant-Japanese boycott the in- tensty of which will in all probability diminish Japan, like Lancashire, will have to pay more for her American cotton, but what matters most to the Lancashire industry is that the margin between production costs in the two industries which sterling depreciation had almost equailzed may be again strongly in Japans favor

Beating Up a Clerk.
New York World d-Telegram.)

Federal dry agents fresh from their annual Christ mas ballyhoo stunts of breaking up furniture in night club raids try their fists on a cordial shop clerk Barney Greenberg, of Brooklyn, is the clerk who has made allegations of being beaten by Dry Agents Frank Farley and Stanley Nelson when Greenberg told them he did not sell wine.
 Farley says the clerk became violent. Wine was later found in the shop. Not cause enough to man. handle the clerk so roughly that he had to be treated for scalp aceratons, a broken thumb and bruises. Dry law enforcement is one thing beating up clerk is another.
 What is Prohibition Administrator Andrew Me Campbell going to do with his agents? What is Federal Attorney Ame of Brooklyn, going to do? Are these officers of the Federal law going to that Greenberg gets justice?
 In view of past performances of Federal officers protecting dry agents in sympathetic Federal courts we presume the answer is obvous-a big No!
 All the need for a public defender! All the more need for thorough investigation of Fed eral Prohibition enforcement in New York.

The Return to Reason.
Cincinnati Enquirer9

(C1nclnnaC EnQulrerD
 There is heartenng encouragement in the declara- tion of Under Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills who just has declared There will be trip to Europe this winter, meaning that the efforts iof European nations to nvegle the United States into taking part in the forthcoming separations conference are futile-not to be considered
 Preparations are punitive in their nature. This Government rightly has nothing to do with them for their settlement. That is purely Europes busi ness. And Europe has now been told so by the Presidents personal adviser in all matters apper- taining to international finance.
 The statement made by Secretary Mills would seem to indicate that the Administration is inclined to attend to pressing and imperative mat Iters at home fact for which the American people Twill be truly grateful.
 AS the days go by it is probable that America land Americas interests will increasingly command first and superior attention at the hands of the President and Congress Heaven knows that our lown troubles weighty enough and distressing |enough to demand the very best that the ability and patriotism of American statesmanshp has to loffer.

Democracy's Slogan.
Seattle Times.)

Out of 100000 slogans submitted the Democrats have chosen, "Hse! Flaw! We're coming back, , las their battle cry in the campaign of 1882. The committee which made the selection consisted of Senator Copeland of New York Senator Shepherd lof Texas, and our Senator Dill The author received an honorarium for $l00. Since the pthy declaration may have beauties invisible to the casual observer it would be premature to say that he overpad.
 The "Hee! Haw!" part of the slogan, of course, is the derisve challenge of the donkey symbol of the Democratic Party It is the equivalent of what is known in the vernacular Of the street as the morse laugh" and is intended to direct Republican minds to their impressive difficulties. The re- mainder of the expression implies trumphal return of one who has been in exile for considerable time Considered in all it's bearings, the slogan appears to lack that elegance and that intellectual quality which we ordinarily like to encounter in campaign notices

STRAWBERRIES, FROZEN 15 MONTHS,
 MAINTAIN QUALITY.

Pacific Coast strawberries packed and frozen for more than year in a laboratory experiment, have maintained excellent quality and from 90 to 99 per cent of the organisms in them that cause spoilage have been killed, the United States Department of Agriculture reports Effective killing of these organ isms is one of the chief problems in the frozen pack method.
 Meteorological studies frozen pack fruits and vegetables started last year in the recently established frozen-pack laboratory of the Bureau Of Plant Industry in Seattle, Wash. The work has been under the direction of James A. Berry, and preliminary results available.
 Sound fruit suitably packed and promptly frozen was excellent in quality after being frozen for f2 months, the report shows Inferior overripe fruit however, had poor appearance when thawed and was not in marketable condition
 In the strawberry studies meteorological analyses were made of 100 samples of Pacific Northwest strawberries, chiefly of the Marshall variety. The samples were packed in the 1880 season in paper containers and in No. tin cans, without and with vacuum and in sirups of different strengths Eff teen months after the fruit had been stored at 15 degrees F. the fruit was thawed and again analysed microbiologically This analysis showed that 90 to 99 per cent of the organisms had been killed Berries having 10000 organisms per gram at the time of packing gave counts of 1000 or less The chief surviving organisms are species of Penicillium
