WHY THKY I'OMK.
Our city cousins are spending their
w inter evenings dreaming back-to-the
land dreams, talking about "three
acres and independence." and pictur
ing the easy, toil-free life of the Hon
of the soil. And some of them are
ecniing out to farms to try their
hand at making green things grow.
They are restless under their burden
of indoor work and the high cost of
living, and next summer's farm
work seems mighty pleasant when
one is sitting by his hot air register
cn a cold night.
City papers have printed interest
ing stories of men and women who
left city employment to make for
tunes in fields of grain and pens of
pigs. City folk read about billion-

of making a comfortable living.
Many are now planning to leave
their city homes with a few dollars in
their pockets. There will be many
failures among them. Some are com
ing with enough capital to get well
started. They will thrive if capital
is combined with learning and energy.
Naturally, every person who leaves
the city forthe farm, thinks he can
make good on the land. Thinking
so doesn't, however, make it so. The
average city-bred mail is a poor
farmer. He cannot stand farm work
as well as he stood shop or office
work. And it requires as much
agricultural knowledge to be a suc
cessful farmer as legal education to
be a money-making lawyer.
Herbert Quick, member of the
United States Farm Loan Commis
sion, is the foremost farm student
who opposes the flow of city-bred
men to farms. He insists that no
man without farm experience should
assume the responsibility of owning
and managing his own farm. Quick
believes that city workers should
first serve an apprenticeship as farm
A YORI OK WARXIXG.
j In a statement received by the
J Collector t f Internal Revenue, Mil
! ton A. Miller, from Commissioner
i Daniel C. Roper, taxpayers are
'cautioned against allowing them
j selves to be imposed upon by
jstrangers who claim to be "Income
j Tax Kxperts." They should dis
criminate carefully between really
i helpful, authoritative advice in tax
matters, and irresponsible advice.
Mr. Roper states further that the
bureau is arranging to furnish for
the benefit of Income Tax payers in
every city and town in the country, a
free advisory service by trained
collectors, agents. Inspectors and
deputies. At the offices of Collectors
and their Deputies and at other
central points, free information and
advice with respect to filmg returns
under the new Revenue Bill may be
had up to the final date for fiiling
such returns.
Ranks, Trust Companies and sim
ilar responsible institutions have
always cooperated in furnishing au
thentic Income Tax information, and
have generously offered to serve the
government and taxpayers in this
respect again this year. It is the
aim of the Bureau to bring its
agencies as close as possible to every
person and to make available in
official form all necessary informa
tion regcrding the requirements of
the law. The Bureau welcomes aid
from every responsible agency in its
efforts to enlighten the people on tax
matters.
Kvory taxpayer Is assured of a
square deal from the Government
based entirely on the tax lews and
regulations and the facts in his case.
No other influence is allowed to enter
into Internal Revenue matters and
Agriculture has learned that farm i laborers, and that city women should
start in the kitchen of a farmer's
wife's home. Both husband and
wife thus would learn farming from
the bottom up.
"You can't learn farming from the
top down," Quick asserts.
Those city people who are having
their annual winter farming dreama
would do well to write Quick or the
United States Department of Agri
culture setting forth their qualifica
tions, resources, knowledge, and then
let a farming expert decide whether

of whether the taxpayer appears in

Firms or other persons who offer
to prosecute claims against the Gov

claims as determined by the facts and

It was not so many years ago that
a $100 hog was a neighborhood
scandal.
Nine farmers In ten then would
consider a man unbalanced, possess
ing more money than sense, who
would pay one hundred real dollars
for a single hog.
In skimming through some recent
sales of breeding stock, taken hap
hazard over two thousand miles of
country, we gather items like these:
The 1917 grand champion of the
national swine show sells for $2600.
Breeder refuses $2500 for a young
ffice once held by Clay, Blaine, sow.
Carlisle, Crisp, Reed and Cannon will In reports of a dozen mid-winter

A thousand dollars Is hardly an
average price for a proven noar in
the championship class.
Ten thousand dollars has been
paid for a single heg in the past
year; probably more, for our reading
of hogology Is but 'casual.
The point is that this country has
in a decade become the chief hog
breeding spot on earth.
Not only does the nation lead in
strictly American breeds, like the
Chester White and the Poland China,
but in imported breeds like the
Berkshire and Tamworth American
breeders no longer need to go abroad
for fancy foundation stock.
A pig is no longer just a pig.
He Is more likely to be worth
$1000 and to be housed in a better
home than the average farm family
dwelt in when dad was a boy.
And these fancy prices are proven
