Stagnation means decay. As there can be no life in stagnant waters, just so there can be none in stagnant business. Get this fact well in mind: Business activity comes not from hoard- jng but from spending. ‘What would the world do without its spendthrifts? They may carryj a virtue to the extreme, but as to the effect on business, better far that than the hoarding of the miser. We are urged to rally to the colors; we are urged to enter the army of the furrows; we are urged to consecrate our all upon the altar of our country, and we are urged to PRACTICE THE STRICTEST KIND OF ECONOMY. The advice is conflicting. Our advisers should employ a different term from ‘‘economy.” It is right that we eliminate waste—wanton waste that brings good to none. And quit spending? want, and ultimate panic. Imagine a community entirely independent of the outside world. It has a combined capital of $100,000, which is sufficient to carry on all of its business. But the cry of “hard times” goes out, purses are closed, and the result is inevitable. The world is composed of communities. In and between these com- munities the public life blood (gold) must flow if life be sustained. But stop the flow of life blood and industrial decay and death is the inevitable result. We must earn, and keep on earning. And equally as important, we must spend, and keep on spending. Not waste, not reckless extrava- gance, but systematic, intelligent spending, that shall keep the golden life blood bounding through the commercial arteries of the nation, stim- ulating every nook and corner of the land to a well-nigh superhuman exer- tion. We must keep the armies of dollars moving if we would keep the living armies progressing. The idleness of one will insure the impotence of the other. Never! That way lies business stagnation, '3 | r, H 4 The government has asked the newspapers of the country to exercise a voluntary censorship, issuing to the papers a code of instructions.

Taylor. In a discussion of “The Relation of the Landscape Architect to Country Planning” by Albert D. Taylor, non- resident professor of landscape archi- tecture at Ohio State university, at the last meeting of the American Civic | association, some of the objects of rural development were emphasized. The primary problem of country planning as Mr. Taylor sces it is to make the country a better place in which to live. This presupposes atten- tion not only to the aesthetic stand- point, but to the economic standpoint. Hand in hand with the plan of mak- ing any particular town a better place in which to live is the problem of tak- ing it out of itself, of relating it to other communities. A nation wide de- velopment is necessary which shall tie -communities together in some unified way. One of the first steps toward this is, obviously, the building of good roads. These foster communication and acquaintance. Anuother problem is that of preserv- ing points of historic interest and great beauty, wud it is one needing im- mediate attention, not only for the pur- pose of preserving places that might otherwise be lost to the future, but also because such places can be bought now at a cost which is only a small fraction of the amount which the com- munities will pay later, perhaps, when they wake up to their responsibility. Lastly, among the many other impor- tant problems which might be men- tioned is that of tree planting, which needs special attention in the middle west. A good number of communities in that section, as well as in others, have no idea of the progress that has been made in city and country fores- try. By means of an educational cam- paign, including the exhibition of slides of successful plantings, such places may be enlisted in a movement very fruitful of artistic and economiic results. { INFORMATIGN FOR GARDENING. :SOHI‘CQI Where Those Seeking Practi- cal Knowledge Can Apply. Those whn are secking information regarding home, school and vacant lot | gardening may obtain literature and advice by communicating with the fol- lowing source: First.—The United States bureau of i education, Washington. In 1914 this bureau began an active campaign te promote school gardens. It has is- sued some literature "on the subject and is glad to furnish information and advice on special problems in answer to inquiries. Second.—The American Civic associa- tion. Washington, of which Richard B. Watrous is secretary. Two pam- phlets issued by the association are “How to Plant Home Grounds” and “School Gardens and Their Relation to Other School Work.” * Third.—The School Garden Associa- tion of America. Van Evrie Kilpatrick is president of this association and may be addressed at 124 West Thir- tieth street, New York city. The ob- ject of the organization is to promote school gardens throughout the country., Fourth.—The Philadelphia Vacant Lots Cultivgtion association. The sec- retary is James H. Dix, 1122 Land Title building, Philadelphia. This or- ganization has issued considerable lit- erature and is glad to assist in-the organization of vacant lot cultivation associations or clubs in other cities. Anti-litter Campaign. The Anti-litter league of New York tity has commenced another campdign. All the children in the public and pa- rochial schools have beenr asked to baly keep the streets clean. . Posters inform the public that clean- liness, health and civic pride go hand in hand and that “swine have no sense of public pride,” that trash receptacles reduce’ taxes and that litttering the streets is a misdeamnor. Saving Waste Paper. The school children of Washington, C., have recently completed a paper ving campaign which netted them $5,000 from the waste paper collected and sold. The total collection made by the youngsters amounted to 869,000 pounds, and the money secured from the sale of the paper went to the play- ground fund of the schools. @@0@@0@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ [ORCROR ROR ‘«Pgper Docs Express’’ AMACHINERY catalog : LT printed on delicate pink paper would be like a construe- tion foreman in silk overalls— and a booklet about perfume printed on heavy weight battle- ship gray paper would be like keeping the kitchen cabinet in the boudoir. .

Dairy farmers who have not already made preparations for tiding cows over the period of insufficient pastures in late summer and fall should not forget that many cows went nearly dry last July and Au, , says a Pennsylvania Agricultural college Dbulletin. Such conditions may Dbe avoided and inci- dentally the dairyman’s bank account strengthened by a little forethought. Maintaining the milk flow during the period of iusufficient pasture may be accomplished by feeding additionai grain, by feeding soiling crops-and by feeding silaze. Feeding soiling crops in addition to: the pasture secured by the cows helps to maintain the milk flow at moderate cost. The objection to this method is the tabor and planning necessary in planting and cutting such crops at the proper time. Unless one has some si- lage from last year's feeding soiling crops offer the most feasible feeding plan for the coming summer. The best, cheapest and most practi- cal way to tide over short pastures is to have an ample supply of corn silage. { Plan to have enough left over from winter feeding to take care of the short pasture period. This involves less la- bor than soiling crops, and the feed is handy and ready for use whenever needed. i The summer" silo should be rather narrow in diameter so that the silage may be fed at the rate of three inches daily to prevent spoiling. Begin now to plan for a corn acreage sufficient to insure silage for next sum- mer’s feeding. It will keep well with the exception of a small amount on top. Put up an extra silo. if needed. In the meantime plant some soiling crops for use this summer. S Snow In the Bible. ‘The historical books of the Bible con- tain only two notices of snow actually falling, IT Samuel xxiii, 20, and I Mac. cabees xiii, 22, but the allusions to snow are numerouss. in the poetical books. At Jerusalem snow often falls to the depth of a foot or more in Jan- vary and February, but it seldom lies. At Nazareth it falls more frequently ally lose money for their owners, and when these calves are kept until a vear old the loss is even greater, is the information brought by cost account records of the Ohio agricultural experi- ment station for twenty-six herds. The milk used to grow these calves is often of more value as human food than the veal produced. In the twenty-six dairy herds eight- een owners lost money on raising calves for veal. The average loss on 323 veals was about $1.95 a head. The average loss on raising 361 calves in thirty herds studied was $6.90 for the first year. Only five dairymen among the thirty raised calves at a profit. ‘When dairymen get a high price for milk they would be ahead by selling calves rather than raising such ani- mals for veal or beef. The milk would bring a higher price for human food than the veal produced from it. Pure bred calves usuaily bring higher prices for breeding * purposes, and in such cases it is profitable to raise them.
