BARNES discusses "Is there a 'National' Farm Problem?" in the current issue of Nation's Business, publication of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He sounds a note in accordance with President Coo lidge's view on farm relief legis lation, viz: it is impossible for leg islation to act as a panacea for all farm ills; and legislation tending to favor one farm commodity dis criminates against other farm pro ducts, hence is unjust and to be avoided. Mr. Barnes states an economic truth in his opening paragraph when he says, "There is no all-inclusive farm problem. Farm dis tress shifts from year to year, from crop to crop, and the unprof itable commodity, today, becomes the source of farm income, tomor row." With a wave of prosperity, people eat more light bread; in times of deflation they revert to coarser, cheaper cereals. This causes variation in dmeand for different products. And with the advance in favor of any product there is a strong tendency to over production, with a consequent in evitable price slump. Diversifica tion in farming is a good practice to keep farm revenue flowing more evenly. Mr. Barnes big plea is for bet ter business in farming, a slower remedy for its ills, but far more sure. In place of legislation, a very dangerous remedy at best if a remedy at all he senses the following needs: "Cooperative organization from the ground up ; "Standardization of product, which means economy in hand ling; "Security of contracts, which would add to farm price the de duction hitherto representing haz ards of contract; "Cooperative ownership and use of expensive but necessary equipment, like threshing ma chines ; Economy through large scale buying; "Easing of excessive tax bur dens by a determined stand for economy in expenditures; "Exchange of experience which perfects seed and animal strains and improves farm methods; . "Research which plans diversi fication with shifting market out looks." Government aid in helping ac complish these things which it is doing to an extent at the present time should not be objection able, however, we agree with the editor of Nation's Business who is Let's Do Our Best pj U.Jawrence nawtnorne "I don't see why It had to Exactly right," he said to I did about the best I could! Perhaps it wasn't very good. But I was anxious to get And then I answered, "Listen, Son! "Some days it seems a waste of time ' To work so long to make a rhyme, Or find a word that will convey Exactly what I wish to say. Sometimes I sit and wonder, too, If something 'almost right' will do. "Perhaps no one would ever note The careless way in which I wrote. But if we fail to do our best No matter what may be the tesk We lose a satisfaction, Son, That in no other way is won! To do 'about the best' you can Will not make you the sort of man I'm sure that you would like to be. So, when you do a task for me, To have you stick and see it through Means much to me but more to you!" loudly claiming there is too much "Government in business." But they cannot be truly accomplished until enough farmers willing to cooperate see the light and do it for themselves. Mr. Barnes sounds a warning note for the farmers when he sug gests just what might be the re sult of government price setting for farm crops when only 30 per cent of the population live on the farms, the remaining 70 per cent being consumers. The farmer might well stop and consider be fore demanding legislation m his behalf too strongly. American Money Goes Abroad. AMERICAN investments abroad in 1926 yielded a return of nearly $600,000,000, Federc! Re serve Board and Commerce De partment figures indicate. Dividends and interest on for eign holdings in 1925 were given by the Commerce Department as $520,000,000, and the securities, industrial and governmental, pub licly floated in this country as $10,- 405,000,000. The figures for 1926 indicate an increase in American holdings abroad of about $1,250,000,000 in publicly floated and private in vestments, making the total amount to about $12,000,000,000. One of the most significent fea tures of these foreign holdings is that the heaviest investments in industrial ventures are in Latin America. Officials regard Latin America as potentially the best market for this country. It is comparatively new and is being rapidly developed. Canada is the second most im portant field for American invest ments, the figures show, with Eu rope running third. Other invest ments are held in Asia and Africa. These figures are startling in themselves. They reflect the prosperity of 1926 in the United States. Man and His Soul. M AN without a soul would be worth about 98 cents on the open market. That is what the chemicals that go to make up a man would cost, scientists have figured. The chief physical elements in a man are oxygen, carbon, hydro gen, calcium, phosphorous, potas sium, sulphur, chlorine, sodium, magnesium, and iron. In addition are minute quantities of flourine, silicon and iodine. Oxygen forms about 65 per cent of a man standing five feet eight inches high and weighing 154 pounds. This oxygen together with hydrogen, to the extent of ten per cent, are in the body fluids. The carbon, calcium and magne sium are in the bones. In the bones, blood and mus cles are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous, while the blood con tains most of the chlorine and so dium. The iron is found in the red corpuscles of the blood and the sulphur in various parts of the body. Science can tell where these chemicals are ond in what propor tion they exist. But even so, they know only a little about the chemistry of life. They could buy the chemicals and they could com bine them in the proportions found in the body. But the thing tney would make would be far in ferior to the poorest excuse for a bei me. done." J, lit. O Uortua IbMbnlk awr-MT re IILL I L I Iff J I lVJ i r 1 ,,CL DtFrank Crane Says America Makes Her Own Prosperity IT SHOULD be remembered that the cause of prosperity in a counrty is not only its ability to produce, but its ability to consume. America is prosperous not only because its labor is efficient, it has great skill, and produces a large quantity of goods, but also because it contains a very large proportion of people who want a great many things. The superiority of America over Europe is not only caused by the fecundity of the American workman, but also by the su premacy of American wants. Recent figures show that real wages in the United States, that is, wages in terms of food, clothes and rent, says George W. Hinman, are double the real wages in Great Britain and three or four times the real wages on the continent of Europe. This is due not only to our enormous supplies, but equally to our enormous demand. In the prosperity of a country must be taken into account its ability to manufacture and transport, but equally important is its ability to consume. The advertisements in the newspapers are constantly creat ing new desires among our people. They are stimulating the want for more and better things and thus creating an enormous market for our products. Thus there is direct connection be tween the superior newspapers of the United States and its su perior prosperity. Whatever induces a people to want more and better goods is valuable, as well as whatever stimulates them to produce more and better goods. It must always be remembered that prosperity is two-edged. It must include a sharp demand as well as a sharp supply. Be cause the people of this country live so well and ask so many luxuries, there is a constant demand for the goods we produce. We sell much goods abroad and the profits from our external trade are considerable. But those profits are small compared with the advantage of our internal consumption. Andrew Car negie said some years ago that the Pennsylvania Railroad alone carries more goods than the entire shipping of Great Britain. man known. It is the possession of what is termed a soul that makes a man. Without it, man is worth 98 cents. With it he may be worth untold sums. MAINTAINING A GOOD POSTURE. From State Board of Health. . One of the simplest and most ef fective methods of bettering one's health is by maintaining an erect pos ture. Posture is an expression of the mental and physical state; also pos ture may modify and control mental states. The cultivation of a happy, cheerful, optimistic nature more readily achieves results when efforts are also made to walk with an elastic, springy step, to hold the head erect, and the abdomen flat. In an erect posture body muscles tend to remain taut, and afford a pro per support or pressure to the body including the circulation of large blood vessels. In a habitual slouch ing posture the blood of the abdomen tends to stagnate in the liver and the splanchnic circulation causing a feel ing of despondency and mental con fusion, headache, coldness of hands and feet, and chronic fatigue or neu rasthenia, and often constipation. One of the most important of all health habits is the habit of keeping good posture. When the head droops a strain is placed on the back of the neck and shoulders. When the shoul ders stoop the chest becomes flat tened and the lungs are cramped for room. When the body slumps forward at the hips the organs in the abdom inal cavity are not held in natural position. At the same time the mus cles are working a little harder than if the body were erect, for they are making an effort to hold the body from falling forward. A good posture cannot be main tained unless the muscles are kept ?trong by exercising. If the shoul der muscles are too weak to hold the shoulders in their normal position the chest tends to drop in. If the muscles of the back and abdomen and not strong enough the body slouches forward. It is not enough to have an erect carriage and a well-poised head. We must also have well directed feet. The foot in action should be placed in the ground in the line of direction parallel to the line of movement. The toes should point forward and neith fr be turned outward or inward. Games, outdoor sports, such as walking, swimming, basketball, hand ball, tennis, and golf, are excellent remedies for poor posture. The set ting up exercises of the U. S. Army, if practiced daily, will help the mus cles do the work of holding the body in a healthful position. Good posture pays because it Im proves the health, increases your economic value, gives you Bocial standing, and inspires you with the spirit that wins. Therefore, be it resolved that in 1927 I will establish the habit of maintaining a good posture. John Calvin Jonoa, 80 year ol6 plainsman, from DougUu, Ariiona. is visiting: Boston. He Mya'Tv fought many a trio of redskin, 1 my days, but the present day Happen have got me licked!" Flappers Scare Him Jl 'ill H vmvrTHE- Girls d today NEED l"S LESS UPSHCK The Author. A schoolmaster named Bird was al ways being reminded of this fact by the boys. Once upon entering the class-room he found the boys looking so grave that he looked around for signs of trouble. Sure enough on the blackboard appeared a familiar quo tation: "Hail to thee, blithe spirit. Bird who never wert." "Who wrote that?" he rapped out sharply. Dead silence reigned for some mo n.ents. Then a small boy said: "Please sir, I think it was Shake speare." In a Hurry. "How long will you be pruning that tree, Bill?" "Oh, another couple of hours." "Well, be as quick about it as you can, as I've been told to cut it down." These Modern Days. Mother: Now, Johnny, go upBtairs and wash your ears and comb your hair. Johnny: Oh goody, we're going to have company. Mother: Yes, your father is com ing home for dinner. A Perfect Excuse. Nurse was bringing little Ella home from a party and took her hand to help her up a high curbstone. "Gracious me, Ella!" she cried; "how sticky your hands are!" "So would yours be,' 'replied Ella serenely, "if you had two meringues and a chocolate eclair in your muff." How Foolish. Little Willie: Mamma, is Pappa going to heaven when he dies? Mother: Why, son, who put Buch an absurd idea into your head? Wanted to be Cured! Those who object, like the negro in this story, to the high fees of a good physician, do not always realise what they are paying for. The doctor in question was called out to attend nn unknown patient. When he arrived he found that a decrepit negro want ed his attention. The sick man first asked, "Hew much yo' charge, Doctah?" "Five dollars a visit," said the oth er, and when the negro had gasped his surprise, he continued, "That in cludes, you know, my time, exper ience, advice and the medicine." "A pore old niggah like me don't need all dem extras," remarked the patient. "Jist give me ten cents' wo'th of yo' cough med'eine, an' dat's enough fo' me." A Sure Sign. Maizie, the Cashier: You'd better give me a week off to regain my health; my beauty Is beginning to fade. Mr. Jensen: Why do you think so? Maizie: The men are beginning to count their change.

Symphilid injury to plants is so obscure as to escape detection, re ports the Oregon experiment station. Tlants from seeds planted fail to appear above ground or the newly sprouted plants wither and die. When this condition is caused by symphil- ids the attack is generall fatal to the stand. Effective control has not been developed but frequent stirrings of the soil with the cultivator or hoe is said to have value. Sulfur plant ed with the seed is thought to act as a repellant. In growing Oregon strawberries the cultural practices which varied the most widely are frequency, depth of cultivation, according to reports by the experiment station. Some plant ings are cultivated four or five timeB, others as many as 18 times in a sin gle season. Some are cultivated very shallow, some very deep, and others at all distances between. Preval ence of deep cultivation at least at some time of the year was found to be responsible for much damage to the roots. According to budgets of some east ern Oregon sheep growers a band of sheep is expected to return to the owner $8.00 a ton for hay, $1.62 for rrnge, 8 per cent on live stock invest ment, current wages for labor, and about 40 cents a head additional. If the grower owns the ewes outright, grows his own hay, owns his pasture, and does his own work the items of these budgets come into his own pocket. If he borrows the money to buy the ewes, buys the hay, rents the range and hires the labor 40 cents a head is all that is coming to him. This is for average conditions and there are always possibilities of doing a great deal better or worse. The Oregon ground squirrel occurs under favorable conditions in almost unbelievable numbers says the col lege extension service. In the semi arid districts it shares with other species of ground squirrels the cur ious summer aestivation and winter hibernation common to many animals. The best season for poisoning is early in spring soon after the squirrels are out and become active. When the females and young are above the ground late in May and June they are readily poisoned.
