A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS TO PREVENT USELESS TAX UPON AGRICULTURE. i t By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union The farmer is the paymaster of industry and as such he must meet the nation's payroll. When industry pays Its bill it must make a sight draft upon agriculture for the amount, which the farmer is compelled to honor without protest. This check drawn upon agriculture may travel to and fro over the Itigirettys of cone nierce; may build cities: girdle the globe with balida of steel; may search hidden treasures in the earth or traverse the skies, but in the end it will rest upon the soil. No dollar will remain suspended In midair: it 13 as certain to seek the earth's surface BS an apple that falls LYoin a tree - When a farmer buys.a plow be pays the man who mined the' metal, the woodmen who felled. the tree, the manufacturer mho asoenibled the raw material and shaped it itito an ar- ticle of usefulness, Ute railroad that transported it ad the dealer who sold him the goods. lie pays the wages of labor and capital employed in the transactiun aa well as pays for the tools, machinery, buildings. etc., used ill the construction of the commodity and the smile applies to all articles of use -and. diet of hint - self and those engaged, t in the sub- sidiary lines of industry. There is no moron in civilization that does not rest upon' the back of the farmer lie must pay' the bills —all of them. The total value of the nation's annual agricultural products es around $12.000,000,000, and it is safe' to esti- mate that 95 cents on every dollar goes to meeting the expenses of sub- sidiary industries. The taunter does not work niore than thirty minutes per day for himself - a the remaining thirteen hours of the day's toil he devotes to meeting the , payroll of the hired hands of agriculture, Bitch as the manufacturer, raitroad, commer- cial and other servants.

Legislative House -Cleaning Needed. While the war is on and there is a lull in business, we want all legisla. tiie bodies to take an Inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning Is needed and econo- mies can be instituted here and there that will patch the clothes of indigent children, rest tired mothers and lift mortgages from despondent botnes. Unnecestotry workmen taken off and useless expenses chopped down all along the line will add to the pros. perity of the farmer and encourage hini In his mighty effort to feed and clothe the world. If any of -these industries have sur- plus employes we can use them OD the farm. We have no regular schedule of wages, but we pay good farm hands on an average of $1 50 per day of thirteen hours when they board themselves; work usually runs about nine months of the year aud the three months dead time, they can de the Chorea for their board. It the) prefer to fern) on their own account there are more than 14,0110,000,000 'acres of idle land on the earth's sur. face awaiting the magic touch of the plow. The conaperisation is easily, ob tainable from Federal Agricultural Department statistics. The total average annual sales of a farm1 in the continental United States amounts to U16 int, the cost of operation Is $310.0e; leavine the farmer SI76 per annum to live on and educate his family. There is no occasion for the legia latures making a position for surplus employes of industry Let then' come \back to the boil\ mid ahare with us the prosperity of the farm. When honesty Is merely a good policy It is a poor virtue Lazy farmers are just as useless as dead ones and take up more room. LANDS FOR SPRING . PLOWING Disking Plays Important Part In Break- ing Up Stubble Into Small Pieces —Prevents Evaporation. (By JAM Es 0. MA ltSII ALL. Colorado Experiment Station.) In the management of land for spring plotting, disking plays a moat Important part. When land has stub ble on it. disking breaks up the :stub ble Into small pieces so that when it I. plowed under a utore uniform die tribution of the organic matter is assured and the danger of retarding the upward movement of water is greatly reduced. Furthermore. the stubble or organic matter mill decom- pose much tnure rapidly.

DISCOVERY OF TEPARY BEAN Plant, Long Cultivated by Arizona In- dians, Gives Wonderful Results as Dry Farm Crop.
