HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. More Butter Means Better Land. The increase of the butter pro- duction of the state is one of the things which have interested the men who have the advance of the state at heart. Each year the land that provides for the dairy cow is growing richer while the farms that are devoted exclusively to growing and marketing grain in its raw state| - are growing poorer and less produc- tive The reason is not hard to discov- er for it is a known fact that with every ton of corn sold from the farm bringing from $18 to $20 goes $5.5¢ worth of fertility; a ton of wheat worth $35 removes $7.50 worth of fertility; a ton of beef worth at the highest prices from $150 to $200 takes with it about $17 worth of richness, while a ton of butter worth today on the market of the world $600 takes with it only 49 cents worth of fertilizing ingredients, and by providing those nitrogenous foods which are necessary for greatest butter production—alfalfa, cow peas, soy beans fed in connection with en- silage—returns to the land with many times this amount. Commencement, On Friday evening, a class from the High school and a class from the cighth grade will be presented with diplomas showing that they have completed the prescribed courses in It will be the last time the graduates will be together as a school class. a satisfagtory manner. It is an cccasion of which the solemnity is cften not realized until years later. To many of these young people, the presenting of the diplomas will mark the end of their school days. They will be called upon to take their place in the ranks of active bread and butter winners. The oth- ers will have this stage of’ their life postponed for a few years in order that they may spend more time in preparation. Those who will no longer have an opportunity to be in school should remember that the word “Commence- ment” means the starting of life, the beginning of real living and respon- sibilities. It should mean an effort to realize the debt that each indi- vidual owes to society and the small part that he or she plays in the prog- ress of the world. determination to play the part well; to be an individual whose life will count for a positive something; to 8o live that when the last call comes, the days will not be found to have been wasted. Those who their schooling must realize the privilege that is theirs. Four, six, or eight years hence they will be called upon to face these same facts of living and responsibility but they will be bet- ter prepared. They will have had the privilege of more thoroughly exam- ining into the past, of becoming post- ed better on the present and of reach- ing a state of familiarity with the investigations that are being made into future possibilities. One and all, they must realize that the words of Dr. Lyman Abbott are true. “Education is for life, and The better the education, the bigger the service de- manded. Education is not for the individual as such, but that by be- ing better fitted, he may be a more useful element of society; that he may better aid in the march forward of civilization. It should mean a will continue life is for service.” Commencement is a great day—! the beginning and the end. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
