BOOSTING 4-H CLUBS
“Good pigs are scarce in Burma,”
Aid the Rev. B. C. Case, agricul
tural missionary, emphatically when
he visited the national 4-H commit
tee recently in an effort to solicit
aid to establish 4-H clubs In India.
Mr. Case, who, by the way, organ
ised the first school of agriculture In
far away Burma, feels confident
that the adoption of 4-H standards
and methods will tend towards rais
ing the standards of living among
the thousands oT backward farmers
in east British India. Already the
rural folk, steeped in ignorance for
•o long, are reaching out avidly for
our western methods of scientific
farming.
The farmer-minister related hu
morous and sad tales of the eager
ness to learn that is manifested by
the Burmese. When he holds an
agricultural meeting on some barren
hillside, as many as 3.000 have
flocked to hear the 10 command
ments for rice growers, to watch
plowing and planting demonstra
tions, and to study carefully charts
relating to the care and feeding of
pigs. Imported livestock and poul
try, sold as cheaply as passible, are
fairly clamored for by those who de
sire the basis for future herds or
broods. For there isn’t as much as
one purebred pig in all of Burma!
Indeed the desolate Burmese farmer
would hold an honest-to-goodness
American pig to be more valu
able than the gold that is so scarce
in that country.
But the youth of Burma Ls eager
to learn. Boys who wish to absorb
all of the knowledge on gardening,
animal husbandry, and agriculture
that Reverand Case can gtve oat,
crowd his little school, and, dur
ing the 3-year course that he offers,
work zealously on projects similar,
and yet vastly different from those
of American 4-H boys and girls.
For the Burmese boy, (and there
are over 40,000 on farms) realizes
that the inadequacy of his father’s
agricultural methods have retarded
the mental and physical growth of
his people. And that realization
alone is a great step towards the
Introduction of other civilizing fac
tors—sanitation, personal hygiene
and education.
Reverend Case dreams that with
in his lifetime an International 4-H
club will materialize, whereby boys
and girls of every land may join
together to strive towards (he noble
4-H motto—“to make the best bet
ter.” _
SHOULD READ MORE
One of the foremost agricultural
editors of the South a few years
back used a slogan that was full of
truth when he frequently said. "The
farmer who reads is the farmer who
leads." We doubt if there is any
other class in the world who has
the chance to get more real in
structive and worthwhile reading
along his various lines of endeav
or and for practically nothing than
the American farmer. Nearly 1.600
bulletins have been issued by the
United States department of ag
riculture and thousands of bulle
tins have likewise been issued by
the various state agricultural col
leges and departments of agricul
ture. It can be safely said that any
American farmer can just for the
asking get free the equivalent of a
$200 library, and can pick his sub

THE FARM GARDEN
Some one has well said that a
good farm garden is worth 10 acres
of corn. I would make the state
ment broad enough to apply in the
wheat region or cotton section, too,
says a farmer who believes in some
of the old fashioned methods.
On most farms there is no other
source of fresh vegetables except
the home garden—a few exceptions
on farms near large cities. Certainly
there is no comparable source as re
gards economy and high quality.
The matter of quality is especially
noticeable in such foods as sweet
oom and peas—foods in which the
sugar is rapidly changing to starch,
and which lose their tastiness with
in a few hours after gathering.
Likewise, quality is important in leaf
vegetables such as spinach, lettuce
and chard, which wilt quickly after
they have been harvested.
The value of a garden used to be
based largely on the saving it per
mitted in the budget for food, and
the variety it permitted in the diet.
That was perfectly in order. But
now we have come to think of gar
dens more in terms of health and
enjoyment. Vegetables have come to
the front in the matter of diet be
cause they supply roughage as well
as vitamins and essential minerals.
In order to build up resistance to
disease and provide iron, calcium
and phosphorus and vitamins for
the body, at least two vegetables
other than potatoes or dried beans
ahould be eaten every day.
Maybe gardens of yesteryear sup
plied all these things—but did they?
Not to the same extent as the
gardens of today, because we have
learned so much in late years about
food value, diet and the importance
of vegetables in the diet. It is sig
nificant that in the last decade the
consumption of celery, lettuce and
apinach has trebled. Iron for red
blood is better supplied by garden
greens than by patent medicines
It U not every garden, of course.*

In the fullest measure—only the well

Changing hay—teed sweet clover for
beans, peas and sweet corn; the root
crops, such as beets, carrots, par
snips, etc.; the greens and salad
crops, such as lettuce, celery, cab
bage, chard, etc.; the vegeable fruits,
such as tomatoes, squashes, egg
plants, etc.; and, in addition, smsll
fruits such as strawberries, raspber
ries. currants, gooseberries, etc,
Varieties are influenced by locality
and condition of the soil; what is
best in one part of the country’ is
not always best in another. It is a
good plan to use, for the most part,
varieties which have been tried and
found satisfactory. But don’t close
your mind on new varieties—try a
new one of at least one crop ever*
year.
Garden failures, when failures oc
cur, are due to nothing more or less
than not taking into consideration
certain fundamentals that lie be
neath the possibility of success with
a vegetable garden, no matter where
it is planted. Briefly, these funda
mentals are; Soil well worked and
well fertilized; good, clean seeds
planted at the right time and in the
manner best suited to the region;
moisture supply controlled by drain
age or mulch, or both where needed;
fences put up to keep out poultry or
other livestock; garden carefully
cultivated or mulched to check
weeds; plants thinned where neces
sary; insect pests controlled. If
these are attended to, one can leave
the rest to good Mother Nature—
except the eating.
In addition to food crops, every
well balanced garden contains flow
ers, annuals or perennials, or both.
The very little extra attention they
require is more than paid for by the
pleasure they bring.
PROFITABLE FEEDING
For some years past a successful
flockmaster has been grinding and
mixuig together fougliage and grain
feeds for his sheep. Tne results of
this feeding practise have been
highly satisfactory. Last year he
kept 215 breeding ewes. Until 15 or
20 day3 before lambing time, he
made up their ration of ground fod
der and soybean hay. He says the
ewes came through the winter in
spkndid condition. A few weeks be
fore lambing, he started increasing
the grain in their roughage grain
mixture and as a result these ewes
produced one of the largest hardiest
crops of lambs ever dropped on his
farm. He found that the above prep
aration of feed was also very satis
factory for lamb feeding. The young
lambs soon learned to eat the feed
mixture fed the older sheep, and
grew much faster than the lambs
he had previously grown, because
they received the grain roughage
mixture in addition to the nourish
ment they got from nursing thsir
dams.
Sheep growers in other sections
may be able to benefit by his ex
perience. Planning and growing
saisfactory feed crops and then pre
paring these crops so that the
greatest feeding value will be ob
tained from them spell success for
some sheepmen, while lack of at
tention to these matters causes oth
ers to make meager, if any, profits
from this business on their farms.
REARING THE CALVES
In experimental work, attempts to
feed calves without whole or skim
niilk before they have learned to
eat legume hay have proved disas
trous, the reason being a lack of
suitable proteins, vitamins, and
mineral matter. Saying this another
way, If milk is dropped entirely from
the ration of calves fed milk substi
tutes before they are able to con
sume considerable roughage, the re
sults are unsatisfactory.
Calves will begin to eat roughage
when from 30 to 40 days old. This
means the feeding of whole milk
until calves are about 20 days old
and then if liquid skimmilk powder
until the calves are about 60 da vs
old. and it would be better if this
teed were continued until calves are
00 days old.
Experimental evidence indicates
that the minimum whole milk and
skimmilk requirements for Hol
stein calves during the first two
months are 170 pounds whole milk
and 640 to 700 pounds of skimmilk.
Somewhat smaller quantities will
suffice for Jerseys.
GREEN FEED FOR HENS
Have you ever noticed how eager
chickens are for green grass early in
the spring and how they eat their
way out into the oat seeding if it
happens to join the chicken yard?
You have noticed also that produc
tion jumps up as soon as the hens
strike the fresh, green, succulent
grass. This indicates to us that fresh
green grass is an excellent stimula
ing teed and also that hfns do not
get enough of the qualities it sup
plies during the winter months.
Supplying green feed during the
winter months is a problem not
every one has solved successfully.
Some get good results from mangels
or rutabagas, others from cabbage,
while others feed sprouted oats. The
green colored leaves of alfalfa hay
and red clover come as near supply
ing the qualities of fresh green grass
as any feed we know of. Gather up
these leaves from the barn floor for
the hens.
GUARD AGAINST PNEUMONIA
During the early winter pigs are
sometimes housed under conditions
that favor losses from pneumonia.
Sleeping in strav piles on cold
nights there is a tendency for pigs
to pile up by which means some
of them become too warm On be
ing exposed to the cold wind of the
early morning such pigs are sub
jected to an Ideal condition for
contracting pneumonia. Further
more. the irritation caused from
particles of dust given off in straw
piles and inhaled bv the pigs is
a contributing cause of this disease.
Pigs should b? housed in cold
weather under conditions that will
keep them warm without piling up
too much tnd where the ventila
tion Is adequate to maintain a rea
sonably even temperature.
10 days or so. then change to some
other roughage for a couple of
weeks, then back to sweet clover.
This trouble Is not caused by sweet
clover pasture-only the hay.

Our “Royal” Guards
William Hard in the World’s Work
The secret service men are not di
rect presidential employees but “de
tails” from the treasury department.
Moreover, unlike the White House
policemen, they do not protect prop
erty. They protect only persons.
The persons whom they protect
ire the president, the members of
his immediate family and the presi
dent-elect. Thus speaks the special
statute devoted to this theme.
It will be noted that the family
af the president-elect is technically
beyond the purview of the statute’s
intentions. The wife of the presi
dent-elect has by implication the
right to go shopping without being
followed by secret service operatives.
That right tends to be terminated
abruptly as soon as her husband
swears to support the constitution.
Thereafter she and all other mem
bers c! his family who are thought
to be so close to him as to come
under the weight of the adjective
•immediate” are in general con
demned to perpetual continuous
surveillanec.
The number of operatives assigned
bv the treasury department to con
duct and to enforce this surveillance
is, today, nine. They have two mo
tor cars and two chauffeurs. Thus,
equipped, they can and do keep the
presidential motor car at all times,
in all its public processionals, and
in all its private excursions, thor
Dughly subjugated to their scrutiny
and control.
They also, on foot, in a squad of
two or three, are seen accompanying
the presidential presence in its twi
light perambulations around the
grassy public circle that lies directly
to the south of the White House
and that sometir.-.es summons Cal
vin Coolidge to ruminative exercise.
These plain clothes soldiers of the
commander in chief of the army and
navy have earned a large measure
of romantic regard from the news
paper correspondents an from the
public. They are the safeguarding of
the country from such tragedies as
overwhelmed it in the deaths of
Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley.
They do their duty with a fidelity
and with a determination in the
course of which they properly as
sert, whenever necessary, an instant
precedence over a.i other officers
and ministers of the government.
In theory the president could en
tirely dispense with their services
and entirely divest himself of their
watchfulness. The protection that
through them the treasury depart
ment bestows upon the president is
not by statute commanded: it is
only authorized. The president is
not obliged to avail himself of that
authorization.

An intelligent broker, in comment
ing upon this condition, said:
“Last August, after the big break
I urged my customers to buy Gen

my advice and put in orders, but
canceled them even before I had a
chance to execute.
“Yet nearly all these customers
came in of their own accord snd
bought General Motors way above

substantial change in the affairs of
the company in the meantime.”
A year or two ago the common
stock of a very important corpora
tion was selling quietly below 50. A
banking firm put its own customers
into the stock, after a long and
careful investigation had shown the
intrinsic value to be high, and tried
to persuade other firms to do the
same. But its representative almost
had the door shut in his face when
he called at other offices.
After the stock had risen without
their help, many of these firms tele
phoned him politely to call again.
Yeast and Prohibition.
Incorporated under Ohio laws in
1905 with a total capital of $6,000,
000,000, the Fleischfnann company
has steadily increased its business
until today it is one of the coun
try’s leading industrial concerns
with a net worth, as indicated by
market quotations for its capital
stock, of some $350,000,000.
The company's principal business
consists of the manufacture and
distribution of yeast. It is the larg
est manufacturer of yeast in the
world, and produces practically all
of that which is consumed in this
country. It also makes distilled vine
gar and malt, and is rated as the
largest producer in this country of
both of these products. Other pro
ducts manufactured consist of al
cohol malt extract, gin (in a Ca
nadian plant), and a number of
trade marked products which are
used in the manufactur of bread
The company also does a large bus
iness in dried and wet grains for
stock feed. Yeast, however, is un
derstood to account for about three
quarters of its gross business.
Manufacturing operations are
carried on in 25 different plants. Ol
these plants, seven are located at
Chicago, one at Montreal and others
in various parts of the United
States, mostly in the west, although
there is a plant at Baltimore and
another at Buffalo. Thirteen of the
plants are devoted to the manu
facture of malt and malt products
The others are used primarily for
the manufacture of yeast, al
though most of thpm are equipped
to make vinegar, two to make alco
hol and one to make gin.
The company also owns 24 country
elevators in Minnesota and South
Dakota which are used in connec
tion with its malt business, grain
being purchased direct from grow
ers. It also owns tank cars and
other transportation equipment.

Even in uOld Days” Many Editors
Maintained Dignified Policies
Conditions are getting better with the editors It
wasn't so very many years ago when we used to read in
the country press—the same article going the rounds— the
windup of which was in effect that the “editor kneaded the
dough without a darn thing on," so extremely poor r.nd
penniless was his condition. We have an idea that Fred
Wolfe of the Primghar Bell knows something about this
when his dear father, now gone to his reward, was strug
gling for existence in O’Brien county some 40 to 50 years
ago with a number of hungry mouths to feed.—Sheldon
Sun..
From O’Brien County (la.) Bell.
The foregoing from the Sheldon Sun set up thinking, trying
to recall any time when "Dad" was “struggling for existence,” as
Brother Bartz seems to think happened In the early days of Dad’s
newspaper experience.
No doubt he did some worrying about how he was going to
meet the pay roll on Saturday night, or the “ready-print" bill at
the end of the month, but if so we children knew little about it.
Dad was a genuine optimist. He did not believe In worrying about
anything. His philosophy was that there were Just two kinds of
things to worry about—one kind you could not help, and the oth
er kind you could help. If you couldn't help it, why worry? If you
could help it, again why worry instead ow helping It.
He had faith that in some way the Lord would provide him
with the means of paying his bills. He always did pay them, and
his rating In Dunn and Bradstreet’s might have been “slow but
honest;” but we are certain he was never refused credit by a
wholesale house and never received a shipment of merchandise
marked with the potent letters ”C. O. D.”
We recall having J. C. Kelly of the Sioux City Printing com
pany, from whom Dad bought the old patent insides that were
fashionable in country papers a quarter century ago, say that
“Your Dad's credit is good here for any amount—he may be a lit
tle slow, but we know we will get It some day.”
Neither can we remember of Dad printing any “begging" or
"pauper” stories In either the Sanborn Pioneer when he owned it,
or in this newspaper. He believed the printer was entitled to his
pay like the baker and candlestick maker, and went out and got it.
He lived a rather simple life. His demands were not large.
Fine clothes meant nothing to him. In fact his family thought
him too thoughtless about such things. He had no extravagant
personal habits. His greatest Joy was In substantial giving to his
church, to charity, and to aid the needy. His ambition was to
leave a little something to his children.
In going through his papers after his death we were surprised
at the number of receipts for contributions to all kinds of chil
dren's homes, temperance organizations, and church causes.
We can recall that we boys never had to ask more than once
for a dime of quarter for spending money—though we were taught
not to ask too often. He was liberal in the extreme with all of us.
Took us places when we were small and showed us everything
young minds would be Interested In. W’e recall with pleasure trips
to the early corn palaces In Sioux City, when ho sp^nt hours tak
ing us about town.
No, Dad may have had to borrow money at the bank to meet
the pay roll and to pay the paper bill, or to keep a pledge to the
church, but he never whined or begged in the columns of his pa
per.
He was raised to know poverty. His boyhood days knew no
electrical toys, such as my son demands, and his play was In the
woods studying nature or hunting squirrels with an old long rifle
still a relic In my home, handed down by him to my eon. It was a
muzzle loader and he moulded hls own bullets. He was expected to
bring back a squirrel, quail or pheasant for each missing builefr
and usually did.
True newspaper conditions have changed. It takes money to
own and conduct a newspaper today, and the man who exists, to
say nothing of prospers In the business, must have some business
sense.
We can remember the day when any printer with $50 or $100
could establish a newspaper. The type founder and ready print
houses would stake him for the rest. Every town had two or more
papers, and ofn ecessity some of them had hard picking.
There are two pieces of machinery in this shop now that each
represent more than the purchase price of the Bell when father
bought It. One of them more than twice that amount. As office
foreman this writer worked for less than one fourth what we now
pay our foreman.
Yes, dad knew some tough times, both on the farm In Frank
lin township before he purchased the Sanborn Pioneer, but we can
not recall the time when we did not have plenty to eat and clothes
enough to keep from getting arrested.
In fact we won der If Dad In his day did not get more out
of life, with its less complex problems, than we do today. Ills In
come was far less, but so was his overhead. He had been raised to
like the simple and true things of life, and did not miss the luxuries
that seem necessities today.
Boom in Shipping.
From Review of Reviews.
The Canada Nationals will put
four, if not six, new vessels on the
inland passageway to Alaska within
two years. Nine new Italian liners
have been put on the route from
Vancouver and Seattle to the orient
and through Panama to Europe.
The Japanese Nippon Jusen
Kaisha is building three new liners
for San Francisco, Seattle and
oriental trade. The Dollar Line has
five new ships for round the world
and oriental trips. The Matsons
are putting on two new vessels for
Australian traffic.
Yet I know of two big lumber
companies which are so short and
uncertain of regular 27-day vessels
to Australia that they will have to
build or buy two new ships for
their exclusive use. And the vice
president of the Hamburg Ameri
-an line has been in Vancouver and
Seattle recently, arranging a new
refrigeration service to the orient
and to Europe.
The people are not gambling on
the chances of a future boom. They
are meeting the immediate demands
of the present. Instead of the wa
terfronts of dead or sleeping cities,
as after the war, gulls roosting on
rotting ships, their harbors present
a review of masts and funnels such
as threads the Thames or shuttles
