NOTHER novel by this most prolific of radical propagand- .ists, the author of “The Jun- gle” and “The Brass Check,” to name the best-known of his earlier and late works. “100 Per Cent” is a well-merited castigation of that crew of “super-patriots” who seized upon the war and its aftermath to bait and persecute labor leaders, radicals, lib- erals. and so-called aliens. Whether Mr. Sinclair, as his critics are fond of declaring, has cleverly exaggerated and distorted the facts concerning the tactics of big business in “fighting the reds,” the reader can judge for him- self. Probably anticipating that crit- 1c15m the author furnishes an appen- dix in which he enumerates what he says are the facts of actual events on which the. most important incidents of the novel are based. Whether the au- thor meant to do it or not he has given PAGE THIRTEEN a none too complimentary picture of some of the extremists and “nuts” in the radical movement, as well as a pie- ‘| ture of “terrorist” methods used to crush labor organizations and radicals. NORTH DAKOTA Official Field Crop Inspection, by H. H. Bolley; Twelfth Annual Report of the Dickinson - Substation, 1919, by Leroy Moomaw ; Cropping Systems® for North Dakota, by Edgar I. Olson; all published by North Dakota Agncultural college, Fargo, N. D. Obtainable upon request. LTHOUGH these reports are gotten out primarily for the benefit of North Dakota farm- ers, as a part of the excellent work being done by agricultural col- lege authorities in that state, there is much material in them of benefit to farmers generally. The pamphlet listed first, by Professor Bolley, will be of interest to farmers everywhere who are interested in the better seed movement. The Dickinson substation report will be of interest to all farm- ers in the “dry lands” district. The third pamphlet will be of benefit to many farmers in South Dakota.and Montana whose farming conditions are similar to those of North Dakota.. | PUBLIC OWNERSHIP The Acquisitlve Society, by R. H. Taw- ney. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Howe, New York. R. TAWNEY, a member of the British coal commission, | analyzes the theory of pri- vate ownership of public utili- ties and natural resources and finds it has not worked. He argues for a new system of property rights and indus- trial organization based on function, the theory that the welfare of the public should preva11 over the right of private profits. - FARMERS LOSE ON CATTLE Flgures on the cost of fattening beef cattle in sections of Missouri, Indiana and Iowa during the past two years, given out by the United States depart- ment of agriculture, bear out the fig- ures already issued on results of feed- ing in Illinois and Nebraska. On the average, cattle growers in the areas covered by the reports just issued fail- ed to make as much on their cattle as they might have made had they sold their corn, in spite of the low price. In Missouri, where the investiga- tions were carried on in co-operation with the University of Missouri, the cattle covered in the surveys arrived at market having cost the farmer as follows: Winter 1918-19, all cattle (8,475 head), $13.78; wmter 1919-20, cattle coveréd by survey records (3,415 head), $13.90; by cost-accounting rec- ords (2,076), $13.83. Counting corn at the.farm price cur- rent when it was fed, there was an- average loss of $4.54 per head for cattle covered in the first winter of the study, and of $20.95 and $23.70 per head, respectively, for the two groups covered during the second winter. In Iowa, where the studies were con- ducted by Iowa State college, with the United States department of agricul- ture co-operating, the cost was even greater. Averages were as follows: Winter 1918-19, all cattle (3,996 head), $15.82; winter 1919-20, cattle covered by survey (3,165 head), $13.52; by cost-accounting method (1, 129 " head), 14.41.
