HAPHAZARD FARMING OUT OF DATE An Iowa county agent described the real cause of most of the agricultural distress, as follows: e Most of us have been so busy watching the move ment of the high prices of landibat we have forgotten almost all th fundamental principles that underlie all farm value While we wan and hope that our land will be high priced, we do not want it to b so high priced that it will not bring fair returns. The value of th poduce from our land is the thing of supreme importance to ever farmer and every land owner. A very considerable bit of seriou thought must be given to the carrying on of production in the busi ness of farming. Haphazard methods of farming, waste land, pool seed, inferior stock, all must go by the board if we are going to sue ceed in this new and large venture of high priced land. The method of our fathers and grandfathers can not possibly be used for success ful results. We must use our most modern methods and must dis cover and plan new things if our success is to be maintained. Th( scrub must be relegated to the scrap heap the same as the old horse power threshing machine and the old reaper. This is no idea thal has been hatched in pipe dream or in idealism but in cold facts thal stare us in the face. It is for us to go to work and plan out for our selves the things that are going to put the best stock and the bes1 equipment on our farms and to make them produce interest on theii valuation. up-grad- EE FAIR TO THE BOYS Distance in ton-mi- les per gallon of gasoline Ditt Gtavel 4 Concrete .

RAILROAD LIVING COSTS Note that a gallon of gasoline carries you more than twice as far on a Concrete d Road as on a dirt road and farther than on gravel In addition to being rigid and lowest in maintenance cost, Concrete Roads assure a marked saving in gasoline. discussing railroad rates, President Sproule of the Southern says that it is impossible to hope for reduced rates until liv-n- g costs of railroads have been lowered. "When everything the individual buys for use on the farm or n n the home is high, everything the railroad buys for use in its business is also high. After outlining the safeguards thrown about public interest ry the Transportation Act of 1920, Mr. Sproule, says: "The public nterest will be further served by seeing to it that the railroads are ermitted to pursue their calling without being harassed by any d nore legislation. Let the railroads devote themselves to the business, selling transportation at a fair price that will yield reasonable return, that they may get money for the purpose of ncreasing, improving and extending the railroads aiyd railroad jquipment of the country for the benefit of the people. "Such a public policy extending over a period of years in con-rawith past policies of agitatio and uncertainty will change the josition of this nation from one of shrinking railroad mileage into ne of expansion and new vigor.

The United States Senate has passed a bill designed to pre vent monopoly of radio communication and declares the air to be the "inalienable possession of the people and prohibits licenses extend ing more than two years. Just what does this mean? Some inventor, individual or com pany must pioneer in the field of radio before any benefit from it? use can be derived by the people. It is one thing to prevent monopoly quite another to prevent progress and development. Air legislation is just in the making. What it will eventually be no one can tell, but the constant scare about, monopoly of the air will prevent people from getting develepoments in wireless communication which should eventually become as much of a household necessity as the electric light and the telephone. Declaring the air to be the inalienable possession of the neoole" sounds fine.
