CHEMURGY-
AND AMERICAN FARMS

~
CHEMURGY--
AND AMERICAN FARMS
SOME 30 years ago, James Hill
proposed method for increasing
American farm production. At that
time we had a foreign market for
the surplus of all of our farm prod
ucts. The Hill proposal resulted in
the enactment of legislation for the
employment of an agricultural sci
enlist in each county in the United
States-the county agent.
The plan worked. These trained
experts, placed by state agricultural
experiment stations, carried scien-
tific agricultural methods direct to
the farmer and applied them direct
ly to each individual farm.
We had a market for our in
creased farm production through,
and for, two or three years after the
close of the first World war. When
we stopped lending European ma
tons money with which to buy, they
stopped buying and the American
farmer suffered.
We will not again have farm
market capable of absorbing all of
our potential farm products until we
can find new uses for those products,
or produce those things for which
new uses can be found.
Industry must come to the relief
Of the American farm by utiliza-
ton of those things that can be
produced on the farm, as well as by
a utilization of those things that
now are considered farm waste.
It is through the comparatively
new science of Chemurgy that these
things can be, and are being, ac-
complished, thanks very largely to
the efforts of one man, Wheeler Nc
Millen.
Mr.. McMillen is urging the enact
ment Of legislation that will provide
for Investigations of new crops which
can be grown in the United States,
and also for new industrial uses for
crops now grown on our farms or
from the present waste from these
crops. To the agricultural commit
tee Of the house of representatives,
Mr.. McMillen recently made the
statement that of the 100000 known
species of plants, not more than 500
are known to have commercial val
ue. He said that Of the many vege-
table products imported from for
eign countries and of which we are
now suffering severe shortage,
most Of them could be produced
from crops that can be grown on
American farms.
Mr.. McMillen sees agriculture as
the next great expanding industry
in the United States, with oppertuni-
ties for every small farmer, and in
this he sees a safeguard for the
American philosophy of govern
ment. .-4s4--- s....stvs.s. sIsssss :. zsse4.

AMERICAN SYSTEM
GIVES ALL A CHANCE

GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE,
as our Constitution says, equal OPP
portunity, for every man. Govern
ment cannot provide equal ability,
initiative, the will to succeed or en-
ergy with which to pursue success.
Government can so discourage ini-
tiative and ability as to make the
achievement of success almost, if
not entirely impossible. BY doing
so, it does not raise the standard
of the incapable, but by limiting the
activities of the capable, will lower
the standards of all.
Henry Ford was born with no
more opportunity than were mil
lions of other men, but few had the
ability, initiative, the will to sue
coed and the energy of Ford. With
these qualities, he achieved a sue
cess that has been beneficial to the
people of the nation. Directly and
indirectly, that success has created
hundreds of thousands of jobs. It
has made homes and the comforta-
BILE support of families possible. It
has provided markets for the farm
ers' products. 1t has raised ma
terially the living standard of all
America. When Henry Ford is gone,
what he has created will continue.
knew two farmers who settled
on adjoining claims in Nebraska.
Each had the same number of acres,
the same soil, the same rain and
the same sunshine. They had equal
opportunity. One succeeded, the
other failed. One had ability and
energy, the other did not.
Three men of my acquaintance,
three brothers, were educated at
the same university. Each had
equal opportunity. One became an.
efficient, successful business execu-
tive. The other two became clerks.
There was difference in the abili-
ty, initiative and energy-one, or all
of these, attributes to success.
The success of no individual bene-
fits only himself. It is the cumula-
tive results of success which cause
US to prosper as people. It is
success that creates wealth and
jobs. The success of one does not
condemn another to the morass of
poverty and want. It raises the gen.
eral standard of all.

TODAY WE MAKE automobile

MONTGOMERY SIDELICHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINEs :

Did you ever hear the story of
how and why the Young Mems
Club of st. Johns was organized?
We warrant some of the members
did not know until they heard Will
lard Harvey read the history of the
Club Thursday evening at their
annual banquet-that a spotted
animal was really responsible.
1t seems that in the Fail of 1917
the Rev. Franklin Johns Bohannon,
rector of st. Bartholomew parish
had a Bible study class composed
of group of young men of the
Olney vicinity. They had started
at the beginning with Adam and
Eve, and on this particular even
ing had arrived at the place where
Jacob was working for his father
in-law Laban.
Laban had bargain with Jacob,
whereby Jacob was to receive all
the speckled and spotted of the
flock, in return for caring for it.
Get out your Bibles and read this
it is most interesting-read how
Jacob unanswered to have the
majority of the offspring born
speckled and spotted! Our goth
century breeding for purity, size,
color, is not new after all
centuries before the birth Of Christ,
Jacob knew how to control the
color of his flock.
Anyway, this story led to a
discussion by the class Of whether
or not their present day condition,
tduring World War ~ was due TO
herit &c or envi onment. So in
terested did they become that Mr..
Bohannon suggested meeting once
month at the various homes to
thresh out matters they had not
time for in Sunday School. Thus
the Young Mems Club came into
existence just 25 years ago.
The charter members, besides
Mr.. Bohannon were: Ferguson,
Ivan, and Talbot Barnsley, Francis
Kirke, John Muncaster, William
and Martin Hines, and George
