Christmas is, of all times of the year, the children’s
season. The giving of presents to children at Christmas
time is as old as Christianity itself, for it was begun by
the three Wise Men of the East, who came to Bethelehem,
where the Child lay in the manger, bringing gifts.
It is easy to forget what it is that Christmas commem-
orates. It is easy to think of it merely as a holiday time,

It looks, at first glance, as if it was a long ju m p from a
great Wall Street financial institution to the farmer a
thousand miles away. It doesn’t occur to some folks that
whatever affects the farmer affects the biggest banks in
the country. The bankers know that, whether the farmer
does or not.
The Guaranty Trust Company of New' York, for exam
pie, has just printed a study of fertilizers, not primarily
for the information of the farmer, but for the information
of the big business men who are the Trust Company’s cus
tomers. It is important news to them that sales of fertil
izers in the United States has continued strong during
the financial depression, so that the total for the year wifi
probably equal the record of 1929, which was next to the
largest year in the fertilizer business.
From an investment point of view, the Trust Company Ry men ns of a new

fertilizers. “The average yield in the principal wheat
growing sections of the country,” the Company reports,!
“without the use of fertilizers, was only 12 bushels to the
acre; the average cost per acre was $13.73 and the average
cost per bushel was therefore $1.14. W heat grown on the ]
same land, under the same crop conditions, but with a pro
perly balanced fertilizer, yielded an average of 281/» bush
els to the acre, with an average cost of 67 cents a bushel.”
That tells the story of the dollar value of fertilizer to
the farmer. And if it be argued that what is needed now'
is not more w'heat, which is probably true, it is also true
that, no matter what the market price of wheat may be,
the farmer who grows it most cheaply w’ill come nearer to
making a profit than the one who does not use every
possible method of increasing his acre-yield and cutting
his bushel-cost.

“A Form of Suicide”
A certain friend of mine prospered mightily in his
business and investments. I used to see him often, and it
distressed me to observe that his increase in w'ealth had
apparently added nothing to his peace of mind. He seem
ed to be always worried. His health was not too good.
With each added million he developed a new complaint.
The other day I saw him again’for the first time in near
ly a year. His eyes shown. He was full of pep and plans
—a wonderful transformation.
“You know, I used to talk about retiring,” he said, “and
I had just about made up my mind to do it when the stock
market crashed. Then I discovered that I couldn’t afford
to retire.
“I’ve gone back to work, and it’s the greatest tonic I
ever had. I doubt now if I’ll ever retire. When you come
to think of it,” he added, “idleness is just a form of
suicide.”
The phrase is striking, but the thought which it express
es is not new. Many men have made the same discovery,
and usually at the price of unhappiness.
Charles Lamb, when released at last from his drudg
ery of desk work at the India office, cried out that he
would not go back to his “prison for ten thousand
pounds.”
“I am free! Free as air!” he wrote estatically to a
