Next Sundny Is Mother's Day.
Everybody who knows they Invo had
n mother should go to churclj una
wear a (lower, or ribbon or flag in
her honor. Keel, If sho still lives,
white, If she has gono beyond, nml
would It not be a good day for Chris
tian mothers nnd children who arc
not Christians, whether present or
absent, to come to tho common Fath
er and begin In tho way of life eter
nal. Could a boy or Sflrl sionor
mother more than to enter Into
Christian faith and thus assure her
of your decision to seek the greatest
good In this world and eternal bless
ing beyond?

We now have n supply of gopher
traps. These may bo secured at the
FnrtnUurcau office. We can alio
supply you with gopher poUun.
Cold, wet weather such as wo have
been having is surely good for devel
oping bcours In young pigs. Every
thing possiblo should be done to kee,t
their quarters clean and dry. An op
portunity for plenty of exercise
should be given them. When young
pigs develop scours give each one a
tca?poonful of castor oil vm feed the
sow. both nlnht and morning, n tea-
spoonful of copperas (sulphate of
Iron) in a little slop. If the bows
are milking heavily, it is best to cut
down on the milk producing part of
the ration, for n few days.
In a very short time the Farm Bu
reau is going to launch the "Puiu
Dred Sire Only" campaign, We feel
that with high pi iced land, feed nnd
labor, tho farmqrean no longer afford
to ralbe common or inferior livestock
and that tho most practical way to
meet these conditions is iy using
only pure-bred sires. This means
everything, including the rooster and
other males found In the poultry
yard.
There was n time when a hoi ho was
u horso, a cow a cow, etc. This time
has passed and they ore pither scrubs,
grades, cross breeds ur pure-breds.
This Is a welcomed change- but tho
sad thing is that on too many form
the change from tho lower to tho
higher of theso groups comes much
too slow. No country should rival
ours in tho breeding of livestock.
Yet, wo havo always, until since the
outbreak of tho lata war, annually
imported largo mimbci'3 of breeding
animals. This country rivals all
others as a natural breeding center
and should lead tho world.
In tho bettor sire campaign, wo do
not ask that tho females be pure
bred; only tho mules. It h simply
marvelous tho transformation that
Mvo or tluco cios-ses of n good siro
Will make in tho nifsnrlnrr uVinn
crossed v'ith common or Inferior fe
males. A survey will soon bo mado to learn
tiio exact status of tho livestock In
tho county as regards scrubs, grades
und pure-breds. This will furnish
us a foundation on which to build our
btructure. Your co-operation will bo
greatly appreciated.
To those farina agreeing to use
only pure-bVed sires, wo will furn-
isu a tx-M metnl emblem painted in
two colors. Any Individual who owns
any livestock, the breeding females
ofwhlch aro bred to a purc-brrd
male, may enroll in tho nationwide
"Bettor SlroBettcr Stock" crusr.Jo.
Such persons will rcceivo from the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, n certificate 8x10 inches on
paper stating that fact.
A good many farms and poisons
two already qualified to receive theho
emblems and certificates. With many
women tho poultty is tnoironly lle
stock. If standard bred males have
hrecded tho flock, the owners muy no-
euro the certificates. The same may
bo true of a junior club member.
But to rcceivo tho motal emblem, all
males used on the farm must no pure
breds. If you can qualify lot usSioar
from you at once.

GIVE THE FARM
LOAN SYSTEM
FAIR CHANCE
Dean Coulter of West Virginia
Agricultural College Opposes
Changes in Farm Loan Act.
FARM MORTGAGE BONDS SAFE
Experience of Germany With Joint
"stock Land Banks Bonds It Re
assuring to American Invest
ing Public.
"Give the farm loan system, In Its
present form, a chnnce. I worked for
It for years before It was enncted. It
has not had a chance to fully develop
on account of the short time It has
been In operation and on account of
war conditions. Leave tho system
alono long enough for it to prove Its
worth."
This was the nppeal made by John
L. Coulter, dean of the West Virginia
Agricultural college, to the United
States senate committee on banking
and currency.
There was pending a bill, commonly
known as the Smoot bill, which, if
passed, would make farm rnortgago
bonds subject to the Income tax. This
tax on the bonds would result In nn
Increase In the Interest rate on farm
lonnB and nlso would drive the Joint
stock land banks out of business.
Wants Both Types of Banks.
Dean Coulter believes there Is a
distinct service for tho Joint stock land
banks to perform and a distinct serv
ice for the federal Ifcid banks to per
form. He believes that the bonds of
both banks should be exempt from

The University of Nebraska is one
of the leading institutions in the
study and investigation of the appli
cation of engineering to agriculture,
or in the development of farm ma
chinery, nccordlng to eminent engin
eers and educators gathered at the
recent dedication of the new agricul
tural engineering building at the
State College of Agriculture. The
new building with its equipment
cost nbout 8250.000. and If it- were
built now it would cost fully twice ft
thnt amount. Distinguished engin
eers nt the dedication said it was
tho ilnest building of its kind In the
world und the best equipped for in
structional work and investigation m
tho subject of power farming. The
agricultural engineering department
is now one of tho strongest depart
ments of the University. Therowcrc
nearly 1,000 registrations in this de
partment for the school year just
closing. Four hundred nnd fifty
pten took short courses in automo
biles, trucks and tractors this year.
Tho superintendent of construction,
speaking of the dedication, said the
building would stand from 300 to
400 years.
Dipping Follows Shearing
Most sheep growers follow tho prrff
tice of dinning soon after shearing in
order to cet rid of ticks. It is ne
cessary to dip tho lambs as well as
tho ewes, because the ticKs tenu io
leave tho older sheep for tho lninbs.
Many use nn ordinary hog dipping
tank, If they have only iv few sheep.
Others dip the lambs in n barrel and
wash the ewes. A small water tank
will nlso serve the purpose. It pays
to do a good jolt and see thnt every
part of the animal is thoroughly wet.
Any srood standard creosote dip will
do. An examination should be made
in n couple of weeks and if ticks ire
found another dipping is In order.
However, in piost instances one good
dipping will ho enough.

taxation. In a letter to the senate
committee he said :
"It will be a grlovous blunder to re
peal the tax-exemption clauso as ap
plied to either the Joint stock or the
federal land banks and It would be a
serious blow to tho system to drive
either type of these land banks out of
business. The two types of banks nre
demanded by the Investing public and
are demanded also by the borrowing
public.
"When the original act was passing
through Its various stages in congress,
we fully Investigated the viewpoint of
the Investors. We found that many
who are Interested In farm mortgages
or loans on farm lands said: 'We
would prefer the bonds of tho federal
land banks because they would repre
sent the joint or co-operative liabili
ties of scores of small farmers, and
they are, after nil, the backbone of the
nation. When they fall we nre all
lost.' We found about an equal num
ber who insisted : 'We want bonds Is
sued by Joint stock banks with double
liabilities, with limited right to Issue
bonds (only 15. times their stock com
pared with 20 times for the other) und
with bonds based upon farms of indi
vidual, large-scale fanners where
brain supervises brawn.'
Farm Bonds Safe Investment
"It was clear to us that there were
two classes of farmers to serve, those
who wanted to form associations, nnd
those who wanted to 'go It alone.'
"Tho two classes of farmers and the
two classes of Investors nnd, therefore,
two sources of funds for the develop
ment of agriculture, nil looked toward
more food for our great urban centers,
which, If it would not mean lower
prices, would at least mean that prices
would not go so high as otherwise
would bo tho cuse.
"You may bo Interested as to the
situation In foreign countries during
the war. Even In Germany during the
war, the two types of banks (the Joint
stock and the co-opera tlvo banks) con
tinued to thrive side by side. I urn
told that the bonds of the stock banks
sold better than government bonds,
while tho co-operative land banks
(landachaften) bought largo blocks of
government bonds. In other words,
governments may come and go, may
rise and fall and change form, and
government securities may bo accepted
by the new government or may be dis
claimed, but bonds based upon farm
mortgages are as good as the land It
self, which is as enduring as tho world
and morg-Pennanent than life ltself,'
