Q. M. CORPS TO OBSERVE 146TH ANNIVERSARY Indianapolis Dinner June 16, Will Be Part of International Observance Indianapolis -will Join with other cities of three continents, June 18, In dinners to be held in observance of the 1461 h anniversary of the quartermaster department of the United States Army. The dinner here will be held at the Claypool Hotel, with commissioned officers and civilians who held commissions in tie department during the war and a large number of business men attending. Governor Warren T. McCray will make an address at the dinner. Civilians who stood behind the department, furnishing supplies during the war, also will attend. John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who served as a colonel in the aviation service, will give a talk. OFFICER REVIEWS HISTORY OF lORPS. A brief history of the founding of the quartermaster corps is given by an officer of the department, as follows: June 16. 1775, in Carpenter's flail. Philadelphia, the lawmakers of the federated colonies, facing the problem of supply for the fighting men of the new nation, enacted the following legislation: “Resolved, That there be one quartermaster general of tbe Grand Army, and one deputy under him for the separate army. That the. pay of the quartermaster general be SNO per month and that of deputy by S4O per month.” Thus came Into being the quartermaster corps, known In the beginning as the “military stores department.” Coming into being during the very days that the Nation was going through the throes of birth, the quartermaster corps from an humble and unpretentious beginning, has grown side by s'.de with the institutions and traditions of our country, until today it stands the largest and oldest supply department of our Army, and one of the most important In the world. What the quartermasters of the Army had to do In the limited land operations of ISI2 was well done, and not a little of Jackson’s victory at New Orleans was due to the supplies which were brought up to him by those entrusted, with the task. GAVE VALUABLE AID IN' MEXICAN AVAR. The triumph of the American arms during the Mexican war was due In no small measure to the fact that the quartermaster department was able to solve with success the difficult problems of supply and transportation that confronted It. In the Civil War *n army which had more than two million enlistments was well clothed, fed, sheltered and transported for four years, and this In a theater of operations where even single-track railroads were rare, and highways were little better than glorified trails. In cur Indian campaigns It was the faithful, rugged workers of the quartermaster department who supplied the clothing and transported the food which made It possible for our soldiers to fight beyond the limits of civilization, that the American pioneer, carrying the flag of progress, might wend westward h : s way. Poring the Spnnish-Xroeriean War our fighting men In the United States. In Cuba and Porto Rico and in the far away Philippines lacked neither food, shelter nor clothing, thanks to the ability of the quartermaster and subsistence departments to meet successfully tropical and other conditions that had never before presented themselves to the supply departments of the Army. The quartermaster corps has Just emerged from the mightiest conflict of *ll time with the brilliant achievement of having successfully fed. clothed and otherwise supplied 2.000,000 across 3.00 u miles of ocean, while caring for an equal number In camps and cantonments nt home. In speaking of the work done by the corps in France General Pershing tail: "The task of supplying an army the *ize of the American expeditionary force In the field of operations, so many thousands of miles from home depots, was never before attempted. The quartermaster corps carried this task to a triumphant conclusion and thereby made possible Mfe success of the- fighting troops on the nirne. Pt. Mihiel and in the Argonne.” W Again in a report to the Secretary of War the commander in chief of the American force in France expressed In the following words his appreciation of the work of the quartermaster corps. “The quartermaster corps has had a difficult and varied task, but It has more than met all demands that have been made upon It. Its management and Its personnel have been very efficient and deserve every possible commendation.” Second only to the long list of achievements of the quartermaster corps in war are the services it has rendered our people in disasters, during time of peace. CATE SUCCOR IN' JOHNSTOWN FEOOD.

In the Johnstown flood of ISS9 It was the quartermaster department that made it possible for the despairing Inhabitants to win their battle while they mourned more than 6.000 dead. After the San Francisco earthquake and Are fifteen years ago the Army quartermaster and commissary were rushed to the scene xvlth their tents, food, clothing and bedding to help the devastated city rise from its ruins. When the waters flooded the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the tidal wave engulfed Galveston the quartermaster corps did heroic work in sheltering the homeless, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. Amongst the several peace time services that the corps is rendering the country may he mentioned the benefits that our farmers and stock raisers are now deriving from the activities of the remount service. Primarily functioning as a service of animal supply for the Army, Its experts havo already placed more than 150 stallions in practically every State in the Union for the convenience and use of those who breed animals. The light horse was passing out of existence because of the rapidly extending use of automotive power and the quartermaster corps has charged itself today with helping to restore that useful animal to the place it deserves in our economic life on the farm and on the road. In fact, the fighting man is dependent upon the quartermaster corps from the day he joins the colors to the day he leaves the serviro and should this severence be caused by death, it is the quartermaster corps’ that is charged with placing him in his final resting place and keeping green the spot. In this respect the splendid work of the graves registration service in its reverential duty of looking after the soldier dead of the Nation during and since the World War will ever be a monument to the corps.

Threaten They’ll Isolate Town if Speed Trap Holds COEUAIBrS, Ohio. Jane D.—lsolation by automobile owners Is the threat held out to London, the seat of Madison Coanty, twenty-five miles from the State capital, unless It abolishes a speed trap now maintained by municipal authorities to catch unwary travelers. Formal demand for Its abandonment has been made of Alayor Gordin by the Ohio State Automobile Association through Charles Janes, secretary. If tills Is refused notices will be sent to all automobile clubs In the State to avoid the town. At present the Columbus and Dayton clubs are advising members to keep a sharp lookout for the trappers, and the same warning Is given to motorists from a distance. Because of reconstruction work now being done upon the national road drivers virtually are forced to detour and pass through London In order to reach Dayton, Springfield and Cincinnati.

Agriculture in New Zealand

BY W. I>. BOYCE. I asked an official of the New Zealand department of agriculture why the dominion does not raise more wheat and oats, its principal cereal crops, and why the acreage sown in the last year or two was smaller than in the past. “Sheep, principally,” he replied with a smile. “Our rainfall Is so plentiful, an average of fifty inches a year, and grass and forage crops grow so rapidly and heavily that the farmer finds sheep will pay him better than cereals and without so much work that he can devote to other things. There Is another reason, too. Fertilizer is high here, three times as much as it was before the war, and the farmer will not pay tbe price. Most of our land requires a little fertilizing to prcfluce Its best. The government tries to Induce the raising of more wheat by guaranteeing a minimum price and fixing the maximum price at the same figure for which Australian wheat can be laid down in New Zealand. But the lure of sheep raising Is too strong.” Thnt Is why New Zealand raises wheat and oats for its own use only end depends upon her sheep and her dairy produce for most of her export trade. The North Island raises less than 5 per cent of the wheat and oats grown In the Dominion and it is the fertile plains of Canterbury and the fields of South Otago where cereals, mostly oat*, aro grown. On the other hand the northeastern district of the North Island near the seashore grows the very small amount of corn which Is planted In New Zealand. The South Island leads, too, In the production of barley, peas for export as well as homo consumption, beans, linseed, grass and other farm seeds. In all parts of the Dominion the native flax is grown and the fiber is exported in great quantities, principally to America for the manufacture of ropes and twine. A great quantity of the fibre is manufactured Into cordage In New Zealand, but the exports alone amount to around $6,000,000 (six million dollars) annually. Os the total area of 43,500,000 (fortythree and a half million! acres occupied In New Zealand, 16,000.000 (slxt en million) acres were in pastur* on land upon which seed had been sown. The figures for last year show that grain was sown on 700,000 (seven hundred thousand) acres, that grass for seed and hay was being grown on 000.000 (nine hundred thousand) acres, that 25,000 (twen-ty-five thousand) acres were given over to orchards, while 25,500,000 (twenty-five and one-half million) acres were wild lands and consisted largely of sheep and cattle ranges. The rest of the land under occupation was given over largely to small gardens and plantations and private grounds.

DEPARTMENT STKESPES CULTIVATION OF GRASS. The department of agriculture Is particularly Insistent in Its campaign of education to Impress the Importance upon the farmer of the proper cultivation of grass crops. It must be remembered that In Its native state the lands of the Dominion were mostly covered with heavy bush and that It has been necessary to chop down much of it and then burn over It to clear tho ground. The farmer has learned that it Is foolish to turn large numbers of stock out on wide open spaces unless he has first sown It to grass of the very best kind About a third of tho lands now In grass have been ploughed, the rest being sown without cultivation of the ground. Yields of wheat ar.d oats depend principally upon the season. In 1918 the season was unfavorable. It Improved the following year and in 1920 was still better with an average yield throughout the Dominion of thirty-six bushels to the acre for wheat and about thirty-eight bushels for oats. In a previous article I described the bountiful yields of wheat which are obtained In the Canterbury plains where some fields produce as high as ninety bushels to the acre. These nre exceptional, however, and yields of fortyfive to fifty bushels to the acre are more commonly found there. It Interested me exceedingly to Inspect a field of turnips which had been grown specially for the fattening of sheep during the winter months. In this particular field a small patch had been fenced off for feeding a small flock that was low In weight. The sheep had eaten off ' all tho tops, which were about two feet high, and then had gone down the row's and eaten off one side of the roots of the turnips themselves. The farmer In'* formed me that later they would come down the rows the other way and would eat off the other side of tbft turnips and finally would pull the roots out of the ground and eat them. In the North Island there are a great many thousand acres of volcanic, or pumice lands, where the government Is making n strong efTort to treat the land so that It will become productive. The discovery was made that near the edges of small streams and lakes where livestock had rolled and pawed up the earth a crop of rich grass had sprung up. The government authorities believe that l ploughing, harrowing and rolling this ground ultimately will result in making it suitable for crops. It is la the “backblocks,” as they are called, where the pioneer of New Zealand | is laboring today to clear the land for his farm. V.Tth ax and saw he is clearing off the timber and brush, then burning over the laud, blowing up the stumps and ploughing. Having put the ground in shape he Is turning more and more to his department of agriculture for soil analyses and advice as to what his land best is suited to grow. GOVERNMENT OPERATES FOUR EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. IVlth agricultural and pastoral pursuits the principal industries of the Dominion, the department of agriculture has developed Into one of the most important branches of the government and the service which It renders to the farmers seems to be most complete. There are four large experimental farms, located In different parts of the Dominion, where conditions are analyzed and

experiments conducted for the benefit of the immediate neighborhood. Anew departure has been made in that classes are held for the farmers, at which they are shown the methods employed and the results achieved. At'these farms, in addition to general farming, work is constantly going on-in hog raising, dairy produce, bee and poultry keeping, plant and seed selection nnd orcharding. Throughout the dominion aro scattered small experimental areas for determining the best things to grow according to peculiar local conditions. In addition to the government farms two farm organizations havo organized model farms where the best dairying methods are demonstrated. These two farms are financed and managed by the fermr rs themselves, a member of the department of agriculture being chairman of the committee in charge. Th government has arranged small tubsidles extending over seven years to Insure the success of the financial end. Field Instructors are kept out virtually the whole year nnd biologists, and other scientists are sent out to study Insect cml plant and animal diseases. In the laboratories nt Wellington thousands of seed samples are tested each year for the farmers, and constant examination la being made of fertilizers. New Zealand authorities are anxious to settle as many people as possible on the land, for it Is upon the products of the land that the country must depend for lls prosperity. It Is too your.g a country and too far away from the rest of the world -to engage in manufacturing on any great scale. Asa result the government has regulations which make it easy for those who are willing to get out and rough It for a couple of years to acquire a farm of comfortable size, either by purchasing It or on such long leases that they really have the best of It compared to those who have freehold lands. 7 RAND DISTRICTS IN THE DOMINION. The dominion Is divided Into seven ■and districts, each nnflor the supervision of a commissioner who transacts all routine business In the sale, leasing and occupation of lands belonging to the crown. The commissioner with three men chosen bv the governor general nnd one by the crown tenants in the district, act as a land board for that district. There nre three methods whereby government laud may be obtained by settlers. One is by outright purchase, another by lease with the right to purchase ultimately and the third only by lease with no option to buy nt any time. To rent land with a view to buying It lat.-r the tenant pays a rental equal to 5 per cent of the sale price of the land. On land which Is leased only the rent Is 1 per cent of the snle prb-o. I-flnd Is divided Into three classes. For the first class lands the sale price Is not less than $5 an acre, for second class not less than $250 an acre, and for third class not less fhan $1.25 an acre. The above are the minimum prices on the poorest quality of land. The holdings are limited to 656 acres of first class, 2.000 seres of second class and 5,000 acres of third class lands to any one person. For town and suburban lands the prices are correspondingly higher. The man who leases land with a view to buying has twenty-five years in which to pay off the debt, but leases without the option of buying run for slxty-sii years with the privilege of renewal. There are modifications of these terms for those who want to settle on the land for only short periods. When land la bought outright certain Improvements must bo made, as la the case with leased lands, and residence on the land is compulsory for two years on most crown lands. At this time the government owns 4,500,000 acres, of which 700,000 acres 1 open for settlement. Most of thnt which Is not open consists .of rugged, mountainous lands which is suitable only for pastoral purposes. The holdings of the government vary from year to year ns more and more Maoris dispose of their holdings which nt this time are around 4.000,000 acres. Rately some 150.000 acres aro disposed of each year, cither sold or leased, although normally the acreage , disposed of each year is double that. TENDENCY AGAINST URGE RAND BORDERS. Os recent years the legislation on land has tended more and more to prevent In dividuals from obtaining large blocks of agricultural lands and using it for pastoral purposes. The government frequently takes steps to compel big landdivide their tracts and permit more settlers ti come In Usually It is not difficult for the government and the owner to agree upon a price, but If ; the owner is obdurate the government | takes the land by condemnation. In one I instance in a district of the North Island the government decided that one man was too great a land holder and compelled him to sell half of it. On that half the government settled thirty-two families, while the original holder has suffered no loss In his income because he began more general cultivation of the half which he had left. The government takes steps to prevent any h.a.dships when land Is thus subdivided by advancing the a money necessary for subdivision, for survey and the cost of construction of bridges and roads. Since 1-594 the government has had laws which permit it to advance money to worthy settlers. The smallest advance made Is $125 and the largest Is $12,500. The loans must be repaid In thirty-six and one-half years at a rate of , 1! per cent a year. Since the advance to settlers law was ; put into operation money loaned to 50,(00 persons has totalled $100,0(10,000. Half of the principal has been repaid. The department makes a net profit for the government each year of $250,000. The government has made it easier Tor returned roldiers to acquire land and some B,OCO of them have been enabled to

settle on either virgin or Improved land. Great care is taken in selecting those who want to become pioneers in the backblocks. It is tedious, hard toil and only the fittest oaa survive It. Very few of those ex-soldiers who have once embarked on this work have given It up. I? the returned soldier prefers to buy private land which already has been improved the government will advance him $12,500 on the purchase price, $3,750 with which to fence, clear, buy stock or implements and $250 for his household furniture. NEW ZEALAND’S TAV SYSTEM. And now what taxes does the New Zealand farmer pay? I.and tax is assessed on the land the same as if It were unimproved, with exemptions and deductions, according to the value of the holding. Where the land Is mortgaged still further exemption* are allowed. In certain cases where the landholder Is hard up the commissioner of taxes has the power to give even greater relief than those provided by the exemptions. The present system of taxation Is that of a progressive land tax, the object being to break up the large holdings of land by putting a higher tax rate per acre on large blocks than on small holdings. Absentees and shareholders In land companies pay a 56 per cent higher tax than those who live on the land. In addition to the land tax the farmer must ray nn Income tax on earnings above $1,500 a year. Exemption of $1,500 is allowed on Incomes up to $3,000, and above that the exemption gradually decreases until on Incomes of $4,500 there la no deduction at all. For every cbll ! under 16 years of age an exemption f $125 also Is provided. The experience of the American ranchman ami farmer has been that sheep ar very hard on land. Most of our sheep ranges, however, aro on dry nnd poor land and often where the sheep cannot find anything to eat for themselves the year round. Ilerc sheep never are put up In the winter and the fifty Inches of avernge rainfall furnish abundant pasturage, nt all times. Tho general system hero Is to change sheep from one fenced rnngo to (mother so they xvlll not eat down the grass too closely or destroy the roots. Another explanation for tho very healthy sheep they havo here is (ho abundance of little streams which run through every pasture. The fact that 16.000,000 (sixteen million! acres, or mo- than n third of tho whole country which has been opened up nnd once cropped has been turned back into sheep and cattle land proves that they pay better than grain.
