“Through Diversified Farming the Farmer Will Do More for Himself—” By ALEXANDER LEGGE, President International Harvester Co.

|HIS is an age of specialization in almost everything. Why, then, call upon the farmer to do practically the opposite and diversify ? The answer is simple. Only by diversified agriculture can the average farm be made to produce something that will keep on

adding to the farmer’s wealth, the farmer’s returns, all through the year. The one-crop farmer—as, for example, the man in spring wheat territory who raises wheat alone—is not productively employed and his land is also idle for a considerable part of the year. And all the time the fixed charges against his farm keep on piling up. There is no idle period i for taxes, interest, insurance, or any of the fixed charges of upkeep. They are working all the time. How long do you suppose any kind of business could survive condi- ■ tions like thoseone-crop farming, running only part of the year? There is plenty of risk in farming at the best. Every farmer is compelled to gamble against the weather, against various kinds of crop- I destroying pests, and against fluctuations of market demands and prices. Diversified farming is the best insurance I know of against these risks—the insurance of the feed lot, the dairy barn, the hog pen, the hen house and the garden. If you want to know how the facts fit with these theories, ask the credit man who deak with customers in any agricultural community; ask | the banker who do« business with both kinds of farmers. Experience has clearly proved that in any locality where the farmers have gone in for live stock, dairying, poultry raising, gardening, or other forms of diversified farming, they need little accommodation from the credit standpoint The credit man or the banker will t.ell you that exactly the reverse is true in a community that is devoted to one-crop i fanning, of wheat, or cotton, or corn, or any other single product. As far as I can read the signs of the future, I see no indication that r the fixed charges for farming are going to be materially reduced. And since the'rfanner cannot expect much, if any, reduction in his fixed charges, his hope of betterment must lie in improvement of his returns. For this improvement he may derive some help from co-operative marketing and from other economic measures that farmers can bring into i play by pulling together. But, for the most part, the farmer, like the rest of us, must find his own cure.for his own troubles. I firmly believe that through diversified farming, individually studied and individually applied, the farmer will do much more for himself than anybody will ever do for him. “Chicago Is Rather Obese; a Voluptuous Beauty With a A ßad Breath’. —’ By NELLIE MARGARET SCANLAN, in New York Time*. Chicago is rather obese; a voluptuous beauty with a bad breath. Os the medley of sounds in Chicago the one that lingers is the grinding of brakes on Michigan boulevard. If Chicago had as much faith in God as it has in brakes, heaven would be overcrowded. The wheat pit is in Chicago. The wheat pit fluctuates; it fluctuates greatly at times. Lately they have had to brace the walls with steel girders and constantly watch the levels. Chicago says that it wasn’t the ’ wheat fluctuations that threw the building off its base, but a subsidence of earth. But you ask Kansas! i One man actually told me that Chicago was prosperous. He even quoted figures to prove it. But he was a dull wit. Why stress so obvious a fact? The general attitude is: "Well, what do you think of tßi ca g°? Not that we care a d-—n what you think; we’re satisfied with, it.” Chicago is a sausage city, made from the mixture of many meats, ground fine. Fat and muscle, flesh and blood, have gone to its making. Some are floating in rich gravy; others are fried in oil. There are two extreme Chicagos, but ip between is a lot that is just plain “hot dog.” Chicago wants to be a world port. It probably will be. If Chicago wants to be a thmg»-it doesn’t hesitate to try. I shouldn’t be surprised if some day faahiops change and it is more desirable to be considered a South Sea island. Then Chicago will lay a pipe line to the Pacific ' ocean and build, itself a coral reef. ; • Trouble With College Athletics: Too Much Athletics and Too Fqw Athletes , . • : a - 1 - Yr if By WALTER CAMP, in Wood’ll Work. i' The trouble with college athletics is that there is too much athletics’ and too few athletes. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent, and the product is a few score athletes trained to the last notch. The other i unnumbered thousands of college students are satisfied with the secondhand glory in the skill of “our team,” and for the most part do not realize their own failure to secure a share in the general athletic benefit. After all, it is not the amount of money taken in at these sports, it is how that money is expended that counts. We may have gone too far in the erection of huge bowls, and stadiums, but time alope can tell — meantime these structures yield the necessary funds to support not only the major but the minor sports, and to defray the general athletic upkeep. The great -problem to be attacked is extravagance in the expenditure of these receipts and the almost universal tendency toward centering too much of the outlay upon a too limited few, as well as failure through lack of careful scrutiny to make these sums go as far as they might in tangible results of benefit to all the men in the university. “Among Us Are People Ignorant or Heedless of Fundamental Principles” By JUSTICE FLOYD E. THOMPSON, Illinois Supreme Court. Among us there are people, ignorant or heedless of fundamental principles, wbo seek to force their private views of conduct upon the whole people and to push their program through to the destruction of principles which constitute the very fabric of the American- system. These intolerants preach that the individual has no rights save those which society confers on him and that the majority may do with the individual as it pleases. To them I reply whenever a centralized government, and not the citizen, is made the source and repository of all power the Constitution of the United States is scrapped. However concealed, despotism is the invasion of rights and. privileges which are’ inherent and inalienable and whichare enjoyed by the grace of God. The line of proper restraint is and always will be undefined, but it | can be said generally that when the right of a citizen to do an act which can co-exist with the freedom of action of every other citizen is prohibited, individual liberty is invaded. Arthur Ponsonby, British Parliament—The war for liberty and justice has yet to come. It will be the war of united democracy against the stale traditions of discredited governments—not a war of people against peoples. It will be a war against bad conditions, against poverty, misery and ignorance. The real enemy is established inside every country. It is - the spirit of tyranny, greed, materialism, intolerance and militarism.

FLOWERS TRICKED BY LIGHT Some, However, Decline-to Be Deceived Twice and “Go to Bed" by Artificial Sun. Flowers susceptible to sunlight will display the same reactions under pow erful electric lights, reports Arthur ■ Pillsbury, pHieial photographer at Yosemite National park in California. He has been making motion pictures of | flowers awakening and retiring. He explained, however, that some flowers, like the Evening Snow, would awaken with the artificial sun, bnt refuse to go to bed by it. The habits of most of the folding and unfolding blossoms, he said, are so well established j that one could tell time by them because they arouse themselves at a certain hour and fold their coverings about them'with equal regularity.
