Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Only 24 Acres By means of newspaper advertisements, posters and word of mouth, farmers of North Dakota are urged to plant less wheat this year. | ‘The seeding season is almost at hand and the time for'the farmers of the state to accept or reject this | suggestion is now. Upon their verdict appears to depend | much of the prosperity of this region, for unless the} farmer gets more for the products which he produces, business and industry in this area will continue under a handicap. It is no altruistic attitude which causes experts and businessmen to join in the cry to plant less bread grain. They are thinking of the farmer in terms of what he can buy and pay for. They want him to do well, that they may do well. The specific appeal is that the average farmer plant 24 acres less wheat this year. If he does, according to the data prepared by the Greater North Dakota association, the state’s wheat acreage will be reduced 20 per cent. ‘This will be in line with the recommendations of the federal farm board and if that organization has accom- plished nothing else, it has demonstrated that the sur- plus is what reduces the market price. ‘The posters make no promises as to what will happen if the farmers act under the plea. In a business so vast as wheat-growing, no one can reasonably be expected. to make promises. With millions of dollars at his com- mand, Alexander Legge hoped to bolster the falling price of grain more than a year ago. After pouring millions of dollars into the purchase of this commodity, the ef- fort was partially successful, but the price at which wheat finally was stabilized is a heart-breaking one for the; farmer. If huge crops continue to come on the market, 50 that American wheat must continue to be exported, the farmer can expect prices little better than he is now getting. This is certainly a discouraging prospect. | ‘On the other hand, if each farmer cuts down his wheat acreage, there is a possibility that we may work off the tremendous surplus still hanging over the American mar- ket and return the price of wheat to something like nor-} mal. So the advertisements and posters assert that reduction in the wheat acreage may mean more money for less wheat. It may sound unreasonable but the thought behind the statement is true. The value of a product—especial- ly one in common use and which people must have— often is measured by its scarcity. In countries where water is difficult to get, it is very expensive. i What to do with the 24 acres which is taken out of wheat production is not really a problem. Other crops may be planted and should be planted, but even if nothing else is available it might be good business to make the cut anyway. With wheat selling far below the cost of production, every additional acre planted means an increase in the loss. The suggestion that alfalfa, corn, sweet clover or ‘feed crops be substituted seems sound. Records kept by farm- ers who have fed their wheat and rye as well as coarse grains show an additional profit in marketing their grain “on the hoof.” ‘We have heard much in recent years of the “cow, Sow and hen” and some farmers have hesitated to get into these diversified lines. However, it is clear that those who have made the step are relatively better off than their neighbors who failed to do so—everything else being equal. Finished hogs, well-fed steers and fat lambs bring in more money than No. 1 wheat at 57 cents and rye at 16 cents, A bushel of wheat will add many pounds to a pig or @ steer and some feeding tests have shown rye, worth 16 cents in the elevator, to be worth more than 80 cents on the hoof. What the farmers of this area do will be watched with interest. It is most important to them, of course, but the importance of their action with regard to business generally cannot be overestimated, for farmer and busi- ness-man rise and fall together. The Reward of Faith Charles Curtis of Pomeroy, O., may smile a little sometimes at the mottoes and poems which optimistically tell the world to keep on keeping on. It is so exactly what he did. And he won. It took him 34 years to learn to walk after a farm accident paralyzed him at the age of 20. But he never gave up. He could only move his head for the first 10 years of his illness. But he could talk into the telephone and give news as @ country correspondent for a newspaper. the head of the line of march where warriors go, steel- clad, to follow the flame of a gallant banner. They have not learned that there are infinitely greater martyr- doms where it takes more strength to make a lantern of one’s courage and swing it in the dark, than to face the conquering cannons. So Charlie Curtis kept on. Not because he wanted to be a hero. Just because he wanted to walk. After 10 years he sensed a alight feeling in the tips of his toes Then he found he could roll over and few inches. His sister fitted pads to his as he crept. Then he grew strong crutches and finally he threw them aside and Now at the age of 70, he walks proudly and to house, with wares to sell. won his reward ... a pair of legs which most men Jose. He did it because his faith never faltered. aL nin i agricultural past 10 years have repeatedly urged the establishment of sanctuaries to preserve species of animal life that are fast disappearing. Africa is becoming civilized. All this is thoroughly disheartening to one who likes to believe that somewhere in far-off places real adven- ture still exists. And what of future generations of small boys? Already most youngsters have discovered that cowboys can be found only in rodeos or wild west troupes; that Indian reservations are groups of farm houses with here and there a filling station or soft drink stand. AS for pirates—they disappeared a hundred years ago. Now there is to be no Africa, no impenetrable jungles made blood-curdling by the roar of lions, the thunder of herds of elephants and blazing campfires waiting for 50} cannibals to toast their victims. Of course, there is still the circus, but the lure of the “Big Top” was never the same as that of the jungles. Africa modern? Africa civilized? Yes, it is all most disheartening. Mr. Justice Holmes Chief Justice Hughes in his radio speech in com- memoration of the ninetieth birthday of Mr. Justice Holmes called his associate “invincibly young.” Those two words sum up the matter concisely and accurately. Few men experience active life at ninety. Holmes’ creed is “To live is to function.” His decision is not to retire until he can no longer function. That outlook on life has kept’ him young and his mind today is as alert and supple as ever. What a wealth of experience has been his! Born in 1841, eight years before the California gold rush; long before the wealth and importance of the great western | frontier were known. Upon his graduation, the Civil war 'had been in progress a year. He threw himself into three times, once seriously. He began the study of law when American jurisprudence was emerging from a most trying epoch. It has been his lot to contribute might- For nearly half a century he has served his state and his nation as a distinguished jurist. He was often heard to say: “The ‘work is: never done while the power to work remains.” ‘ He has been: referred to.as the great dissenter, but that term does not reflect the real character of the man. It was he who said that “the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.” He based his decision on the theory: “that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes (the peoples’) can be carried out. That at any rate is the theory of our Constitution.”. | | | An International Language A new magazine, “The International Forum,” has be- gun publication in Berlin. It ‘is to be a monthly, devoted to “the exposition of German, American: and British ideas.” h And this new international magazine, which’ will con- tain work by German, British and American writers, is printed entirely in English... The editor explains that @ great many educated Germans read and speak Eng- lish, but that few of the corresponding class in Britain jor America understand German. French was considered for the magazine, but rejected on the ground that, de- spite its reputation as an international language, French is really “a medium of exchange among the Latin races.” So English it is, and one more victory in the bloodless ‘pattle that is making our own tongue the international language. None of the several efforts to create an artificial language has made anything like the progress toward universality that has been made by English,’ aided by literature and‘tha roving spirit of its peoples, and latterly receiving @ still further impetus from the radio.

There. hasn't been a time since the war when building could be done on such a low cost basis as at the present moment. Lumber is low, hardware is low, labor is low, and, in such times as these, bargains are to be had in building sites. Fargo lumber dealers, hardware dealers and other building supply men report that their prices have been reduced until they are now on a lower level than at any time since the war and in some cases are even down to pre-war levels. Also contractors and others in the building trades are now seeking to keep crews intact and are ready to make sacrifices in profits just to keep things going until more Prosperous times appear. : Undoubtedly there are many persons in Fargo who have been planning on @ home of their own. Others are living in houses which. would be improved by con- siderable modernizing. We believe they will find the present building situation one well. worth studying. : The Northwest’s Farm Aid Program (Minneapolis Tribune) In #-current interview, Dr. John Lee Coulter, former head of the North Dakota Agricultural college and now @ member of the federal tariff commission, again stresses the fact that for a decade or more the northwest has been following a practical farm aid program that has been getting practical results. He urges its elaboration in accordance with the facts demonstrated by experience. Showing the effect of last season’s acreage adjust- ment campaign, Dr. Coulter points out that acreage transferred in 1930 from wheat to flax production re- duced the current wheat surplus by at least 50,000,000 bushels. Dr. Coulter hopes and believes the farm board will suggest @ program for each section of the country sub- stituting some more profitable production fer crops that must go into export. This is a field in which such limited experiments as have been made indicate that much can be accomplished. ‘ Canada, Russia, Argentina and Australia are unable to adjust wheat production to domestic consumption demands. They must continue to endure the vicissitudes of a world market and fight for the right to sell in it while utilizing the keenest methods of competition. In the United States we have a wheat surplus of 200,000,000 bushels or less. It is not a tremendous prob- demand is evidenced by a population of 125,000,000 peo- ple. For that reason the surplus should be a less trouble- some problem here than in most of the world’s wheat producing countries. Its control is largely a matter of disposition on the part of the producer. In pointing out the possibilities of regional acreage adjustment, Dr. Coulter emphasizes an objective that is receiving more attention and interest as the facts of the production situation become clearer. ‘The northwest has demonstrated the benefits of dairy- ing, crop rotation and increasing the feed crop acreage. Sections of it may profitably produce more corn hogs. Exhausted wheat land used as pasture will cut production of production showing they are cropped at well be ‘utilized for pasturage, reforestation or “dark continent” in the interest of science during the that struggle on the side of the Union and was wounded, ily to its development over a period of several decades. |” | America. lem to scale production down to domestic demand as that) { ‘What do you need to know?

S. writes: “I am 25 years old, and a recent physical examination proved me to be in the best of health. I would like your opinion as to the cause and the treat- ment for a diminishing keenness in my mind.. Recently, I find I must stop and think deeply whenever I Speak or act and have become most unnatural. Now, upon taking a stim- ulant (such as the smallest amount of liquor) I am completely myself again. Would excessive smoking numb one mentally?” Answer: Your question probably answers itself, for you doublessly are an excessive smoker or you would not ask the question, Give up smoking entirely for awhile and you will soon find out whether or not the smoking has been producing the dimming of your mental faculties. Pressure Cooker Question: -J. W. asks: .“Do you think that foods cooked in a pressure cooker lose any of their value? Would this method affect the vitamins?” Answer: Pressure is an excellent way of preparing foods and superior to the ordinary methods. The vitamins are always affected by cook- ing if the cooking is continued too long. Tuberculosis Question: H. G. asks: “If a man had tuberculosis in an advanced stage, please te]! me how the wife can avoid contracting it?” Answer: There is very little dan- ger of a healthy person contracting tuberculosis from one’ who has the disease. If the wife maintains her lives carefully to keep Hi well she may teat perfectly ‘safe. ?
