Tib WdDOUd SG!!0 INFORMATION Ef.lI.lER AVAILABLE May 2, 1912 To the Editor: In your Issue of yesterday I notice th.U.Mr. Hurtl of Ktanfleld Is making a laudable attempt to test the adapta tion of the grain, black emmer, to the semi-arid lands In his vicinity. Farmers who desire further informa tion as to this Russian importation might do well to communicate with It. C. Huffum of Worland, Wyoming, lie is said to have successfully exper imented with it. and to have develop ed an Improved winter variety by crossing with winter wheat. The grain may be just what is wanted in the dry lands north of Echo In this county, where the soil is rich but the moisture limited. The literature upon this cereal tells us that black emmer Is a strictly win ter grain, having the appearance of barley, but having about the same food value for stock ns wheat, to which it seems to be a near relative. It requires little moisture, yields of ten as much as seventy bushels to the acre. It Is a northern production and will stand severe cold. I trust that others will emulato Mr. llurd in this test and that the agricultural depart ment of the government may be ap pealed to for added Information. Respectfully, STEPHEN A.

The fear of war is consuming the homes of the rural and village populations of Ger many, France, (Jreat P.ritain and the United .States in a single generation, according to a bulletin on the school observance of Peace day, which is soon to be issued for free distribution by the United States bureau of edu cation. In discussing the cost of war, the bulletin says in part: "War debt began with the nineteenth century. Not until the establishment of con stitutional government had nations any credit in the world of finance. The bond of a king was notoriously bad security. Since 1800 the war debts of the nations have grown by leaps and bounds. That of Europe as a whole amounts to more than 26,noO,OiMl,l0n, bearing interest at the rate of $1,150,000,000 per year. All thene endless caravans of ciphers represent sums which have nevei been paid, will never be paid, can I never be paid, so long as the present system of national armament goes on. For practically the entire amounts now raised by taxation in civilized na tions go into the support of armies and navies. The United States, in splendid isolation from old entangle ments, without an enemy in the world and bound by ties of blood and com merce to all civilized nations, spends 7J per cent of her income in this way. The civil, or non-military, expedi tures of Europe are so small as to be i negligible. "At the present rate of expenditure the four countries of Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States will spend in the next 40 years, the life of one generation, for the support of armies and navies an amount sufficient to build 20,000,000 country and village houses at an av erage cost of $2500 each. With father, mother, and four children in each of these houses they would fur nish homes for 120,000,000 people, which is more than the total popu lation of these four countries living in villages and the open country. Thus the fear of war Is consuming the homes of the rural, and village population of these great nations in a single generation. It Is estimated that the total direct cost of the armies and navies of the world each year in time of peace is $2,500,000,000, which equals the to tal valuation of the wheat and corn crops of the whole of the United States." The bureau of education's bulletin which is entitled "Peace Day," con tains suggestions and material for the observance in the public schools o" the occasion, which comes on May 18. The bulletin was compiled and in part written by Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews, secretary of the American School Peace league. illj SHOOTS HAI'IDS IX TIXY, 1UA1I, SKI Ft' SAYIXU HOYS AXI) GIIU.S. Terre Haute Women Hoe to Do Away With Public IMnco Halls.
