CI: WHEAT PLANTINGS REDUCED SHARPLY AFTER CAMPAIGNS Livestock and Dairy Interests/ Also Increase Their Coop- erative Marketing DAKOTA FARMS DIVERSIFIED | wae i Wisconsin Dairy Farmers Band Together to Market Milk to Condenseries i Chicago, Feb. 28.—(7)—Converts to the agricultural gospels of co-opera- tion and reduced acreage have been the most numerous this year in the plains states of the upper Missouri and Mississipp! valleys. In Nebraska, North and South Da- kota wheat plantings were sharply cut. and in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, livestock and dairy interests have increased their co- cperative marketing agencies. Weather Governs Corn Last summer's drought touched only the fringe of the corn belt, southern Indiana and Illinois. Corn prospects in these states depends, ac- cording to A. J. Surratt, agricultural statistician at Springfield, Ill. upon spring conditions. ‘Wet weather will mean curtailed acreage; dry weather, no reduction. “Parmers largely will forget the plight of last fall if their crops show improvement.” said Surratt. “We usually forget our past hardships wiien times are good.” A, E. Anderson, Nebraska crop statistician. said the 400,000 acres formerly planted in wheat, and freed by this year's acreage reduction, probably will be given over to alfalfa and clover. W. F, Schilling and Samuel R. Mc- Kelvie, farm board members, spoke many times in the northwest, always stressing advantages of co-operative marketing. Their efforts are reflect- ed in such statements as those of Alva H. Benton, marketing specialist. North Dakota Agricultural college, Fargo, N. D. mOpoperative livestock shipping as- | sociations now number between 300} and 400, and over 40 per cent of all livestock passing through South St | Paul market now are handled by} farmers’ cooperatives.” Many Crops in Dakotas ‘The Dakotas have such a diversi-! fied agriculture that depression 1 one or two crops does not materially depress the state. North Dakota pro- duces almost half of the flaxseed crop | and with South Dakota grows much of the rye and alfalfa. i In virtually all the middle-westert: | states larger numbers of hogs Baa sheep are being fed. Jowa has a half-million more hogs, while South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas have larger numbers of sheep grazing. The number of cattle on eed in the corn belt, however, is the lowest since 1921, This is attributed | to the last fall's corn shortage. Wisconsin largely is depending up- on cooperative marketing to bring; some relief. About 4.000 Wisconsin dairy farmers are banded together to! market milk to condenseries. Wis- consin’s livestock federation coopera- tive expects to have 50 local coopera- tive units before the end of the year. Tax Burden Criticized { Earl Smith, president of the Illinois farm bureau and Charles Hill, chair- |. man of the Wisconsin department of | agriculture, believe farm taxation is/ one of the major problems, contend- ing the tax burden should be shifted from real and personal property to in-| comes. | The financial depression has ac-' celerated group farming in the mid-| Gle-west, according to C.

Editor of The Tribune: | Congress has passed an act which will permit the veteran to borrow from the government 60 per cent of the cash value of his adjusted com- pensation certificate. There are three and a half million veterans holding these certificates. Secretary ot the Treasury, Mellon, has strenu- ously opposed it and the president has udvised against it at this time. - Both of these officials base their objections upon the effect such a measure will have upon the finances of the government. The present law permits a loan to the veteran of 221% per cent at 514 per cent interest upon the present value of such certificate. ‘The new law increases the amount to 50 per cent at 4% per cent interest. This makes it possible that the gov- ernment will be called upon for an estimated one billion dollars in loans | should but two-thirds of the amount! made available be applied for. It is recognized that our government has done more for those who have served it in war than any other country has ever done for its defenders. We have provided the war insurance, the bonus, a soldier's hospital in every state but one, and the adjusted com- pensation. There is no limit to which our government should not go in pro~ viding hospital accommodations and a rehabilitation of the disabled sol- dier. He should receive the maximum @ government can give in readjust- ing his affairs so his living can be assured. In other words we should make up for him as much as is nu- manly possible what he has lost through his impeirment: “It is to be regretted that, through our system of Politics, too often the most needy haye not had the influence and poli- tical pull to get their just desert, while others have, through such sup- Lata received more than their share. As to the making of this increased loan there is room for an honest dif- ference of opinion. No doubt that, if the law is very generally taken ad- vantage of, it will make necessary a large refinancing by the treasury and a bond issue by the government with a consequent higher rate of interest and a lower premium than now pre- vails upon government issues. But on the other hand we are not making a new claim against the government. The adjusted compensation has here- tofore been agreed to and in due time must be paid. We are merely provid- ing that an additional amount of what at a later date must be paid, is; made available at this time to those veterans who desiré it, The veteran who avails himself of the advance | must pay 4% per cent interest upon such advance. There is nothing so| serious about this.

Editor of The Tribune: The Untied States senate has| grown to be an august body of con- siderable proportion in the business of governing our people. It has built derly transaction of business which at times hinder the "due and orderly” transaction of business as was con- templated by the forefathers who framed the constitution. It has built up @ tradition of senatorial courtesy that, when applied to the confirma- tion of appointments to office, it dele- ‘gates its advics and consent of the senate to a single member, or the .oers of the senate from a single state, the state in which the office is to be filled. If a federal judge is to be appointed by the president to fill a vacancy in the U. 8. court in one of the states, through senatorial courtesy the senator or. senators of that state affiliated with.the political party in power, is permitted to dic- tate the advice and consent of the senate. The other members of the senate vote perfunctory ‘aye,’ ‘aye’ as directed. And then we wonder why we get political and unsuitable men in high places. The plain intent of | the constitution is that the judgment {of each member of the senate shall be exercised upon each appointment, and a majority and true verdict be rendered thereon. Any other method of determining the advice and con- sent of the senate is a flagrant vio- lation of the intent and spirit of the constitution which our senators, upon taking the othe of their office, swear that they will maintain and support. Just now we have pending in the U. 8. senate a pitiful example of how this courtesy works out. The«presi- dent has nominated Gunnar H. Nord- bye, of the Hennepin county district court, to be judge of the federal dis- trict court in the state of Minnesota. Senator Schall, of that state, assumes to tell the president to nominate one Ernest A. Michel, an attorney of Minneapolis and a personal friend of ae senator, to be the federai judge in Minnesota. There appears to be no doubt that Judge Norabye, whom the president nominates, is much better qualified by training, experience upon the bench, moral standing -and fit- ness for the position, than is the senator's choice. Yet, if the members of the senate refuse to exercise thelr | only judgment as to the qualification and fitness of the appointee by trading their vote to Senator Schell in return that he will vote for their choice when the office is to be filled in their state, the senate is surely de- teriorating from functioning as it is intended by the constitution. _ stances such as this have caused the senate to give much bad “advic® and consent,” and lowered that body in the esteem and respect of the Bene, It is possible that we are sending to ide, “Hymue Woosualse” (Good- Fellowship hour for young people, Parents having children to be bap- i luda, jover-supply of teachers.

A READER, Mohall, N. D. Editor of The Tribune: ‘Will there be room-in your People’s Forum for a teacher reared on # farm to express herself on the proposed educational bill to raise teachers’ qualifications? This bill should, by all means, be passed. Why should North Dakota standards be lower than those of neighboring states? Why should teaching be the work most eas- ily prepared for after completing a high school course, thereby supply- ing more people than it is easy to count with something to do until they can decide what their life work is to be? Why should rural schools, year after year, supply the means of earning money for an_ education Any /one who is a good teacher with next the ranks of the teaching profession those who have no right to be there, who are merely marking time (and being paid for it) until something more desirable is at hand: ‘No doubt many of this. latter class do make pretty fair teachers but they never can be first-rate teachers for they lack that thing which is most essen- tial to success in any occupation or profession—tove for the work itself not just for the’ remuneration it brings ‘in money. ‘How ‘will this law accomplish this miracle you ask? Very few are going to spend the time and money to get one year of nor- mal-training unless they feel pretty sure that they wil remain.in the profession. ‘The opponents-to- the passage of the proposed law argue that @ teach- er should be fudged by service rather than by a certificate, Right. Would an additional 12 weeks of training in any way detract from the ability to render satisfactory service? Rather, the opposite would be expected. Any- to no training would he a better teacher with training. And it is better teachers that are desired, is it not? A certificate fs some indication, for @ student should not be graduated from _@ teacher training course un- less he is capable of teaching. At least he will not get good recommend- ations from the school. Ability do do janitor work was men- tioned in one letter on this question. be ae I must ask by what method of reasoning anyone can reach the conelusion that more training is going to deprive any individual of this obits ity? .One who doesn’t know how to do the things connected with janitor work in @ school and can’t learn how surely hasn't intelligence enough to be @ teacher. Let us hope that the legislators have sense enough to see that the Loma of the proposed law would efit the rural schools of North without getting the benefit of that education? The chief concern seems to be that if qualifications are raised salaries must be raised and the expense will be greater than the rural community can bear. This need not be so. Rural salaries compare favorably with those of towns, though they are lower in dollars and cents.. A rural school teacher can save as much as one in town. Board and room in rural sec- tions ranges from $18 to $25 a month, in towns it ranges from $25 to $35 a month. Clothing expenses are not as great, Then there are the count- Jess miscellaneous expenses, picnics, club dues, treats and so forth, which will mount up where several people work together. One needs only to look to Minnesota to see that expense need not be increased. There 36 weeks of normal training are required, but the salaries, if anything, are lower than in North Dakota, and there is no lack of teachers as a result, either. There is a hue and cry about the thing about that is that it isn’t the least qualified who are jobless, “Pull” willingly admitted. A teacher gets a }Position because those who do the: hiring know her personally or know, someone who knows her. The choice is based chiefly on character instead of an ability to teach whereas both. should be considered. ‘Once in & while one finds school board mem- bers who are even a little suspicious, {of a well-trained, experienced teacher who “condescends” to apply for a ‘rural school. “There must be some- | thing wrong or she wouldn't be apply- ing for a dinky country school. If she’s any good, she ought to be able to get something better.” And so they take little eighteen-year-old, in- experienced Mary Brown, who is phy- sically and morally all right but not trained for the work. Certainly no one will dispute that, training is necessary. Mere knowl-| edge of “readin’, writin’ and ‘rith- metic” is not enough. A knowledge of psychology, child-study and meth- ods is The teacher must be able to evaluate her results, to know how to put things across, to know many methods of presenting subject-mattcr so that if one fails, she can try some other. Enough of of normal training. If 12 weeks is not enough training for a city teach- er, who can secure the aid of other teachers, principals, and superinten- dent, surely it.is not enough for the rural teacher who must rely almost entirely upon herself. Of course,| many teachers in rural schools do. splendid work, considering their handicaps, but do you not all agree that that work would be even better if training were increased? A farmer writes, “the mere fact, that the 12 week teacher holds 66% of the rural positions tends to prove that these positions are either not desired by those of @ higher education or that the 12 week teacher's famil- jarity with rural conditions makes her more valuable as a rural teacher.” Does he mean to imply that only 12- week teachers are familiar with rural conditions, that only farm girls take the 12 week course? Just how would an ddditional 24 weeks of training impair anyone's familiarity with rural conditions? Surely no one would’for- get all about it in so short a time. This qualification would not be con- sidered the most important one for any teacher, although it is a great asset both to herself and the school. The quotation also alludes to the smaller percentage of more educated teachers in rural schools as an in- dication that such positions are not. desired. As was mentioned, “pull” sometimes alds the less educated ones to crowd out those who are really hetter prepared. Then it must be admitted that. in any line gf work the greater the requirements to qual- ify the greater is the prestige con- present. rural teaching populati their jobs by the passage of ae pre posed law. Never fear! Those who really want to teach and whd have their hearts in the work, will find means to enable them to qualify even under stricter requirements.

Let us hope that they will not be hindered -in doing the_right thing just because they or their friends have sons and daughters who are ready to become “twelve-week”: teachers, It is time that such selfishness should cease to stand in the way of better education in our state.
