The energtic farmer who could make a larger suc cess of his farm but does not because he thinks it is bringing him a fair re turn might learn that be is really 4 slaving to no purpose.

In a recent issue of the Breeder's Gazette it is pointed out that many farmers fail to earn 'as much as their hired men.' That is, the net result of their efforts does not afford them a hired man's wage. Some farmers, of course, make what is equal to a con siderable salary and some of the best farmers make not only a good return from their farms as investments but also a large salary and even an over plus. : ' Assuming a farm to be worth $20, 000 and the farmer's net income at the end of the year to be $1,500, the . Gazette contends quite properly, that ' the farmer's earnings are only $300 a . year for his own labor. The invest ment return, at 6 percent, should be ' $1,200, leaving the return for labor only $300 or $25 per month consider ably less than the wage of the aver age hired man. For farmers who are r unable to earn from their own .labor more than the hired man's pay the Gazette recommends other activity. It is quite right. A farmer should, by intelligent application, earn at least $3,000 net from a $20,000 farm. That means only an annual income from labor of $1,800, which is decided ly not too much for the intelligent ef- fort put into such a farm by a good former. . "' ' In order that a farmer may determ ine what his own labor brings him, the Gazette recommends that he keep ' a sufficient record of his business; that he take an inventory at the be ginning and close of the year, and keep account of all expenses and re ceipts, including the value of that por tion of the produce of his farm which is used by himself and his family for 'their subsistence. That mans, in short, that there should be more sys tem on the farm; that the farmer, while he need not be an expert nc- ers. The addition 01 a considerable number to our farm population would be of little value if there were no im provement in farm methods. We need more farmers, it is true, but we need more good farmers, not more poor ones. Once the standard of farming were raised, we should have more good farmers, for farming would show better returns and would attract men who have it in them to be good farmers. . .

A new species of offender is making his appearance In pur . prisons as a result of the stead ily growing drug habit those who steal in order to buy drags. They come to us as men and boys charged with petty lurceny, but they nre victims of drugs, for If they did not Indulge the chances are that they would not steal. I'cw of us can knowthe extent to which the use of drugs has spread. Mothers write to mo by almost every mall for ad--vlce as to measures they may take for the saving of their sons and daughters. They face, ns we do, the fact that heroin is a drug to which nearly every one may have access.' It is under no ban. and because of that it has become the most generally used of all. We are seeking now to secure ut Albany legislation which will put heroin In the for bidden class. Miss Katherlne H. Davis. Commissioner of Correc tions. New York City. SAYING3 OF SAGES.
