Making the Farm Pay, by A. Gilbert ; 192 pages, illustrated; for sale by Educa- tional Department, Nonpartlsan League, Box 2072, Minneapolis, Minn. Single copy, 40 cents, paper; 75 cents, cloth; lots of 10 or more, 30 cents each, paper. HIS little book, just off i| the press, is better de- scribed by its subtitle, “A Study in Better So- cial Organization Affect- ing Farming.” It deals with methods of lowering the cost of supplies to the farmer and.of securing better marketing service rather than with farm practice on the farm. In his preface, the author points out that while it would be a mistake to disregard improvement in the meth- ods of agriculture the predominant issue is social. With marketing con- ditions as they are no amount of im- provement in farm methods would give the farmer the prosperity he has the right to expect. The failure of our congress to do anything to im- prove marketing and the evident in- ability of our so-called business lead- ers to devise anything which does not make the problem worse ‘instead of better, indicates the extent to which the problem is neglected. The book is divided into four parts. The first takes up the point that farm returns can be increased by cutting costs and raising selling prices and states that the farmer has two meth- ods of entering business—public own- ership and co-operation. The second part discusses such farm costs as interest, taxes, freight, supplies and insurance. The third part deals with marketing of different products, such as livestock, wheat, butter, milk and potatoes. The fourth brings out some important points on the relation be- tween farmers and city workers and on town and country, with a conclud- ing chapter on making county gov- ernment businesslike for the common people. The book is made up largely of ar- ticles which have 'appeared under the name of the author in the Nonpartisan Leader during the last two years, with connecting material to show the relation of the parts to the general subject of better returns for the farm- er. It furnishes a source of informa- tion on most of the planks in the Non- partigan league platform, but several subjects treated, such as fire insur- ance, crop insutance and reform in our tenancy lawsg are outside of the League platform. Mr. Gilbert’s views on the relation between the public own- ership advocated by the League and farmer co-operation would be valuable to any who fail to see how the first will stimulate the latter. The Economic Consequences of the Peace, by John Maynard Keynes. Harcourt, Brace & .Howe, New York, publishers. Cloth, $2.50.

Germany is required to pay an indeterminate in- demnity of $25,000,000,000 or more. To pay this Germany must, of course, export more than it imports. Ger- many’s largest exports are coal, iron ore and machinery. But the same peace treaty that requires the indem- nity took away from Germany, with- out payment, virtually all its coal and 76 per cent of its iron ore, and without manufacturing machinery? At the same time that the peace council cut down the possibility of Germany in- creasing its exports it barred Ger- many from limiting imports, provid- ing that wine, silk and other luxuries from allied countries must be allowed to enter Germany without let or hin- drance. The author asks how, when the ready money of the classes in Ger- many that still have it is taken by purchases of wine and silk, can the German government expect to take steps to collect the enormous indem- nity demanded ? Mr. Keynes does more than discuss the economic terms of the peace treaty and their probable consequence. He tells, in some detail, just how these terms were drawn up, how President Wilson’s consent to them came to be gained and how -political pressure in England compelled Lloyd George to change front on the indemnity ques- tion. The story reads like the truth. The picture of President Wilson is so fair that probably 90 per cent of the president’s friends and 90 per cent of his enemies would agree that it is just. Mr. Keynes does not attempt to moralize. But if there is a moral to be gained from his book it is that the peoples of the world must exercise more care in the training and selection of their politicians. The statesmen of the allies and of Germany alike are shown as selfish, bungling, demagogic blunderers, unfit to be intrusted with the responsibilities of the government of millions of people. SUNFLOWERS FOR SILAGE Sunflower silage has much the same feeding value as corn silage, accord- ing to analyses made at the North Dakota Agricultural college and short feeding experiments in New York and Montana. The trials made at the Wil- liston and Dickinson (N. D.) substa- tions indicate that one can expect one- fourth to one-half heavier yields from sunflowers than from corn. Doctor H. L. Walster of the North Dakota Agri- cultural college states that Mammoth . Russian or Giant Russian is probably | the best variety, but the Black Beauty and White Beauty also are good. The seed costs 18 to 20 cents per 100 pounds. It takes five to seven pounds per acre and can be sown with the corn planter. If the land is clean, seed in rows; if weedy, better plant in hills and culti- vate both ways. Sunflower seed can also be sown with the grain drill, clos- ing up some of the holes so as to sow in rows 36 to 42 inches apart. Culti- vate as for corn. Cut for silage when from one-half to three-fourths of the seed is in the late milk or early dough stage.
