incidentally, the New York Times
OF Jan. % carries a leading edi-
torial on 'Pragmatic Government"
which comments on an article by
a certain Mr.. Walter Mills, who
makes praglnatism the historical
philosophy of the American gov
er1lmeot. The "Times" claims to
take issue with this, but actually
1t gives us quite good explana-
ton of the meaning of pragmatism
in its dynamic political sense. 1t
says: This might appear as an
endorsement Of the theory that the
secret of success in community life
is for everybody to feel that we

Tor the ruling class to propagate
amongst the workers at the present
time! Those who are dissatisfied
with capitalism, those who are be-
ginning to question the capitalist
system, let them at best adopt a
philosophy which says, yes, we are
on the way TO new society, but
we do not know how to get there.

The real value of the New Masses
article is that it examines the Yari-
GUS philosophical ideas of Calver-

CALVERTON'S VALUE
TO CAPITALISM
The reason for the recognition Of
Calverton as a Marxist by the bour-
geois world, and the renegades, is
APPLY stated by the article: by
now it must be manifest that the
reason the bourgeoisie regard Cal
Verton as an authority on Marx
ISM is because he is ideologically
safe and because his theories give
a distorted and misleading account
of Marxism- Leninism as a body of
knowledge"
THE class source Of all attempts
to reconcile MARKHAM philosophy
with bourgeois philosophy, of re-
vising Marxism on the American
scene must inevitably be traced to
John Dewey. Calverton said: 1.-THE
materialism of Marx was as prag-
matte as modern Instrumentation"

Schnaulhausen, and Harry Elmer

Filling Station Saves
Time for Apple Growers

A filing station for the apple or
chard is a time-saving development
introduced recently by few Mas
sachusetts apple growers. Spray
ing the fruit trees to control pests
is the most important summer time
job of the fruit grower and, accord
ing to pomologists Of the Massa.
chusetts State college, most grow
ers must spend more than half of
their time driving to and from the
water supply. BY building a large
concrete supply tank in the orchard,
several growers have been able to
eliminate much of the extra driving
and lost time, and have been able
to cover their orchards with protec-
tive sprays In about half the time
required before. Massachusetts
State college men are advocating
the use of these ''filling stations" as
a means of cutting the cost of
growing fruit.

Ed Clausen known as THE Lone

While trailing q wounded moose

An aperture permitted light to en-

The campaign will be directed at

sion and excessive run-off of rain

mated. on the basis of present
prices, to have cost the farmers of
the nation about four hundred mil
lion dollars a year.
The public works bill specifically
provided that a portion IF the huge
construction fund made available for

lied In the prevention of soil erO-
sion. The amount to be devoted to
this purpose has not been made
known by Public Works Administra-
tor Donald Sawyer. but is expected
to involve several million dollars.
AT the same time, .he agricul-
turaI adjustment administration,
under the Department of Agricul-
ture, has announced that a cam
paign against soil erosion is to be
conducted in conjunction with the
acreage reduction program en-
bodied in its cotton and wheat plans.
Announcing the plan for wheat,
the agricultural administration de-
clared that "a shift of lands taken
out of wheat production into soil
building OF erosion prevention uses,
is contemplated"
A few days later, it accompanied
its cotton acreage reduction plan
with the announcement that 'land
taken out OF cotton production may
be used for the production of soil
improvement or erosion preventing
crops"
The Department of Agriculture
has established fen erosion expert

areas. under the present plan for

Heavy rainfalls last year are re-

Sheep Do Well on
Alfalfa Pastures
Experiments Result in the
Acreage Of the Popular
Crop Being Doubled.
BY w. C. KammIade. Assistant Chief In
sheep Husbandry, College of Agri-
culture, University of Illinois.
WNU Service.

Alfalfa. to which Illinois farmers
are turning as substitute for corn
and some of their other surplus
crops, has proved in experiments
to be one Of the best pastures for
the $4,000 sheep and lambs on
farms of the state.
Even with lamb valued at only
5 cents a pound, alfalfa pasture
brought a gross return Of $24 an
acre in experiments conducted last
year by the college. The alfalfa
maintained an average Of seven
ewes and twelve lambs an acre for
100 days. During the time the
lambs were on pasture they gained
enough weight to equal $50 pounds
Of lamb an acre. In addition the
pasture maintained the ewes.
This is in line with experiments
which have been conducted at sew
eral different experiment stations
during the past few years and
which show that an acre of alfalfa
furnished more feed and produced
more pounds Of lamb than any 9th
er crop.
Largely as a result Of expert
ments conducted by the College Of
Agriculture, alfalfa has become
such a successful and popular crop
in the state that the acreage of it
has been tripled in the past IA
years. In 1919 only SS,96S acres
were grown, while last year the
total was 2S8,OOO acres. 1t was the
experiment station Of the agricul-
tural college which first discovered
and demonstrated that the cause
for the general failure Of alfalfa in
Illinois was the lack of suitable
nodule bacteria In the soil. Since
then the institution has followed
up with numerous experiments es-
tablishing superior varieties, inn
proved cultural methods and profit
able utilization of the crop.
AS a pasture for sheep and lambs
alfalfa seems to be much less like
ly to cause bloat If the sheep are
placed on it and not removed. This
is the opposite OF what is common
~ advised. A satisfactory method
to follow seems to be TO let the
sheen have a good fill of bluegrass
or to feed them large amount of
palatable roughage before they are
turned on the alfalfa and then
leave them on continuously. I'm
der this plan no cases of bloat have
been reported in experimental work.
When alfalfa was pastured this
way last year in the Illinois expert
ments, II seemed to be little, If any,
more likely TO cause bloat when
wet than when dry.
