As a means of increasing the

more fertile. To this end, the farmer

It is pleasant to have a speaker say
nice things to us but it is not help-

is the truth. Naturally, much of
the truth about our country, as about
every country on earth, it not pleas-

foreign lips. But it takes a foreign-

is by studying our faults and not our
“winning ways” that we may learn
how and where to improve and make
of ourselves better citizens and
our country a better country.

Another crop season Is almost upon
us. Before much progress is made,
the farmer could, with advantage, take
stock, so to speak, of the agricultural
outlook and base bis plans tor tbs
year accordingly.
What of the outlook?
To begin with, the agencies of pro-
duction impaired by the war are not
yet on a normal basis. This being
true, the demand for food and feed
products as well as the raw materials
of manufacture are still unsatisfied.
It is well to mention here that the
wheat and rye acreage of this country
was decreased about twenty-five per
cent last fall and tbis will, <M neces-
sity, have a bearing on the foodstuff
situation this and next year.
Prices of farm products have reach-
ed b.gh levels, and the indications are
cow that they will not be much lower
any time soon High prices, however,
do not necessarily stimulate produc-
tion.
Farm labor, a very important factor,
is not only scarce, but higher in price
than ever before. Doubtless, the cost
of other necessities in fanning will be
u high, If not higher, than tn 1»1».
To make farming profitable this
year, in the tight of conditions
existing the fanner must either ,n
crease the efficiency of his meth-
ods of production, or else he must get
less net profits from his operations.
Of the two methods suggested, un-
doubtedly that of speeding up the
agencies of production is to be looked
to for relief.
There le no doubt that the method
used on the 'average farms could be
improved to such an extent that great-
er yields per acre could be made
tn fact, the average acre yields of
crops grown must be increased; for
In the past .the average acre yields
have been so low that they have paid
but little if any more yian the cost
of production.

QUME* Q FOR ALL
□llULO THe FAMILY
A movement has been set on foot
by some of our citizens to have the
people of Commerce 'help in beauti-
fying the grounds at the College by
each person buying a tree and set-
ting it out or having it set out on
the campus. The tree would cost
but little and the labor of planting
it would not amount to much, and
the wonderful result that it together
with the many other trees would
make in the appearance o* College
hill in a few years would afford the
donor of the tree much personal sat-
isfaction.
The keeper of the grounds will
water the trees and care for them,
but should one die, the original don-
or should replace it. By this means
there would soon be- a complete
stand of trees. A person who gives
a tree will continue to own it in n
sense, and will keep track of it an-1
watch it grow, thus developing a
personal interest that will increase
as the tree stretches skyward from
year to year. Probably the schoo'
management will maintain a record
showing the name of the father of
each tree for those to read who in
later years may enjoy the shade of
spreading oaks and tall sycamores.
A plat of the grounds has been
made showing where the t ees are v.«
be planted. The kind of trees to be
selected, when, hpw and where to
plant them, end fthcr information
may be had by apalying’ti President
R. B. Binnion, or to R. E. T MeCav.
tre, secretary of tfie Board vt “’radc.
It is expected khat the Boar-1 of
Trade will have a meeting next Mon-
day night, at whjch time the .natter
will probably be tjrough* up a id some
action taken to carry out the plan.
As Arbor Dayj which is the na-
tional tree planing day. is nearly
here, the same being the 22nd of
February, it is necessary that what-
ever is to be dole must be done
quickly.
