WASHINGTON COMMENT.
History is full of tales of desperate
chances which succeeded because
some man wa.? not afraid to lead. - In
America today exists a chance, far
from desperate, and but waiting a
great leader who will point the way
?who will he be?
The press is full of "remedies" for
the industrial unrest which results
in strikes and lockouts. Editorial
after editorial explains that all that
is needed is a fuller understanding between
capital and labor; a mutual
forbearance, a playing each into the
other's hand, a cooperation between
them for their mutual advantage.
All, it is explained, which is needed
is for some great corporation to lead
the way and treat labor as something
to be considered, consulted, profited,
and helped,^ or some great body of
labor to lead the way and, instead of
seeing how much they may exact from
an employer for the least work, to
try the other scheme and see how
much they can do in a given time to
profit the employer and let the wages
depend not on organization and
threats, but upon the work done and
the spirit of cooperation.
That's all!- But as yet the leader
does not appear. No great corporation
as yet fails to get the best of
the bargain if it can when making
terms with labor. No labor organiza
tion as j et has considered the employing
interest before it's own. And
if you ask why, the answer is plain;
because men are selfish, because men
distrust each other, because experience
ha. proved, to each that neither
is whnllv to be trusted.
Then -.he answer, the real answer,
is an ii-calcation of a spirit of unselfishness
and a spirit of trust. In
other words, all those who stand in
r. church and admit the Fatherhood of
God, must stand in factory, at bench,
beside desk, in a bank, on farm, railroad,
and in mines, and practice the
Brotherhood of Man. Then, and not
until then, will the leader arise who
will make capital and labor truly fraternal
instead of opponents.
We all see. But we do not all see
clearly. When we see an evil, we
often say, "let us passs a law against
it" in the child-like beilef that what
is forbidden is eradicated.
A nrohibitorv law mav. or mav
not, be necessary. But unless, behind
that law, is the will of us all that that
thing not be done, the law does more
harm than good. People can not be
made over by law. They can be made
over by one, and only one thing, education.
If we find a baseball game
H
y
before 11 o'clock on Tuesdays an ob- ?
ijectionable moral lapse, we may, if ?
we can command enough votes, get ?
a law passed agajnst playing ball 3
j until midday on Tuesdays. But un- 1
I less the community feels that what t
we think is an evil is really evil, the <
boys and the ball players will play (
when they get ready, and the com- i
munity will go to see them do it, law 1
or no law.
There are many people in this i
country- who know the evils of child :
labor, and many states have laws reg- i
ulating it. But the law is often ]
broken, and there are many places i
where there is no law about it. The '<
way to eliminate the evil of child la- 1
bor is to educate the whole country i
in regard to it; the law will follow I
automatically, and the evil be as <
much ended as piracy, or burning at
the stake, or the ducking stool. i
There are many people in this 1
country who know that our transpor- j
tation problem is not solved, while i
strikes and lockouts continue to inter- 1
rupt it. The way to make it adequate i
is not to pass law after law forbid- t
ding this and compelling that, but to 1
educate all of us so that we all know 1
that the whole people's right is su- <
perior to any right of any group. i
Education?not only the wisdom in 1
books, but in the ability to think, i? s
what we all need. Good schools, 1
good teachers, Federal aid, as in the i
Towner-Sterling bill, now before congress,
to create a Department of Edu- <
cation; these are the hope of all of .<
us who as yet do not see with as clear 1
a vision as do those who lead our <
thought and crystallize our ideals. <
And if we can not get out of the <
national habit of passing a law about i
it, let us pass our laws for more and i
better education. i

Soil Building. I
The soil is a "Farmer's Bank" and 1
if he takes out of if! more fertility 3
each year in growing his crop than 1
he puts back into it, it is just like '
drawing on his bank account?it will
soon get where his checks will be *
turned down for lack of funds. 5
So your farm will refuse to grow *
a paying crop. One of the greatest (
objects ^farmer should have in view 1
ii? t-?- ?:i 1 i,_ ; I
IS 10 DU11U up nis sun aim inarwc- iv
more fertile each year. And this can J
be done in no other way than by diversification,
rotation of crops and by
sowing leguminous crops such as
peas, velvet beans, bur clover, crimson
clover or vetch. In the next
thirty days either bur clover, crimson
clover or vetch should be sowed.
Land lannot be ma edrich by hauljing
guano to the farm and putting (
it on the land. If this could have
been done, this country would have
been a rich, fertile country. Any
farmer in this country can so farm
his land as to make a living on it,
pay his taxes and make his farm
double or even treble its production
in six years by using the proper
methods of agriculture and there is
nothing that will pay him a greater
profit than to adopt these cethods.
Working poor land is very expensive.
I know most of the land is too poor
to ero\v a leiruminous crop and the
land has to be inoculated before it
will grow them, and seeds are expensive
but? I want to suggest a sure
and simple method so any /armer
will be able to start these leguminous
crops to growing on his faim. They
recommend about 15 to 20 pounds of
crimson clover to be sowed to the ^
acre and 18 to 20 pounds of vetch
sowed broadcast and I have known J
a great many who failed to get a j

ibout cents per pound and there are
i great many farmers who haven't

\'ow, I want to suggest a iitt.e p.ac- 1
.ical and cheap way that any farmer e
ran use to get these crops growing
>n his farm. I have tried these melh- v
aIs to get my land inoculated and I t
enow they will do it.
These crops should be so.ved with- t
n the next 00 days or they can be j
?own at once in your corn fields or
otton fields. Take a short goplte. r
>!ow and run a shallow furrow in the 1
niddle, then fasten a small chain c
ibout five feet long to the foot of
;he plow. Get a sma'.l cedar limb 1
ibout 1 1-2 feet long anu fasten to r
;he other end of the chain, let it i
Irag in the furrow to cover tiie seed ^
<o that the inoculation bacteria will t

lot gee Kinea oy me sun. iou win 1
iave to drop these seed through a i
?uano funnel. Walk just behind the
nan who opens the furiow and drop 1
iie sed and the brush will come along <
n the furrow to cover the seed. By
;his method, three pounds of seed will j
>e enough to sow an acre of corn <
and and 3 1-2 pounds enough to sow j
:otton land with rows three feet
vide. You can buy inoculation
:hrough this office for 50 cents per (
icre for less than five acres, pver
ive acres the price is 40 cents per
tcre I
I prefer vetch to either of the clovers
and it is much easier to get a 1
stand. As stated above, most of the ^
and is too poor to grow leguminous c
:rops. This is true, but by this meth- '
>d, vetch sown in rows in January 1
:an be fertilized with 50 pounds of 4
nitrate of soda to the acre and the y
retch will run all over the land and *
vill make a fine growth and then 1
^our land will be inoculated for all
;imes to come. If you plant this j
same land in corn, plant in the vetch 1
, ? l ?
rows ana see now mucn oetter cum
fou make than wheie you did not
plant the vetch. It will be equal to *
250 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. (
You can build your soils to a highir
state of cultivation under no other ^
system and under boll weevil condi- *
dons you cannot afford to buy guano. ^
3row your soils rich and you farmers 1

Ysleta, Texas, is the oldest town in
;he United States, according..to tradi:ion.
It is believed the town was
bunded in 1640 by Don Francisco
^asquez Coronado, a Spanish explorer.
This would make it 25 year.s older
than St. Augustine, Florida, the
>ldest town of authentic record.
Rules for Successful Hog Raising.
1. Good brood sows should always
rcise, and a good bed. v
lave a balanced ration, sufficient ex:rcise,
and a good bed.
2. Farrowing rails, no matter of
vhat material they are made, will
?e worth their cost.
3. Many of the pigs are farrowed
>etween midnight and dawn and it
>ays to be there.
4. A good dry bed, changed often,
nakes up for a lot of other imperections.
Plan to have a supply of
Iry betiding handy at all "times.
5. Contrary to popular belief,
logs can not thrive in filth. Avoid
nanure piles, dusty stalls, and staglant
pools. Probably more trouble
vith pigs starts with suckling a sow
;hat has been lying in a stagnant
nud hole than from any other cause,
inless it be dusty pens.
6. Plenty of clean water should
>e handy at all times, for the pig
Irinks often if he has the chance.
7. Plan to have clover, alfalfa,
-ape, rye or soy beans at all times
m the farm and cheapen the cost of
jroduction.
