Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—A popular
magazine some months ago sent a let
ter to alf our senators and congress
men asking them what, in their opin
ion, would help most to keep the
boys on the farm. A certain senator,
noted for terseness of speech and
horse sense, wrote, at the bottom of
the page an answer of five words,
which I commend to all American
citizens as being adapted to solve
I more agricultural problems than this
[one. The senator’s reply was: “Make
farming profitable, by—!”
The prosperity of the farmer is to
the business world what soil fertility
is to the agricultural world, the
fundamental basis of all permanent
succes* Many farmers in the past
have made the mistake of thinking
that they could get rich by skinning
the soil, and many business men like
wise have made the mistake of think
ing that they could get rich by skin
ning the farmer. The only way
that the farmer can make a perma
nent success of farming is to keep up
the fertility of the soil and the only
way that the business world can be
permanently successful is to insure
the continued prosperity of the farm
er.
The use of legume crops has been
advocated ever since the days of the
Roman empire and probably long
before that; because they not only
were paying crops, but had the added
advantage of gathering from the air
and depositing in the soil more nitro
gen than they expected. The legume
should be the model for every intelli
gent business man in his dealings
with thq farmer.
When a banker loans a farmer
money, he should loan it to him at a
rate of interest and for the kind of
investment that will,enable the farm
er not only to pay back his loan, b'ut
to gain for himself a margin of pro
fit. The railway manage1 who makes
rates for the farmer fo' shipping fer
tilizer and other merchandise to the
farmer, and for shipping the farmer’s
produce to maiket, should1 make a
rate that wili leave the farmer a mar
gin of pvoV. The milulenirn who
handle the farmer’s pcoduJO should
endeavor to get him such prices and
should charge him only .-uch commis
sions as will leave the farmer a mar
gin of profit. In the long rain, it is
only thus that the banks, the railroads
and the commission men can insure
their own profits.
If the leaders of the business world
will lay this lesson to heart; if on
New Year’s day throughout this coun
try they will take the legume as their
model, and the words “Leave the
farmer a margin of profit” as their
motto, it will do more to increase pro
duction and reduce the high cost of
living, it will do more to keep the
boy and girl on the farm, it will do
more to create an invincible national
efficiency and to push forward the
work of national preparedness, than
any other single step that can be
taken.

BILLY SUNDAY TO
TACKLE A BIG JOB
(Juneau Dispatch)
The Reverend Billy Sunday has un
dertaken to save the soul of New
York city. The picturesque baseball
evangelist will tackle the metropolitan
devil next April.
It will be the climax of a career
during which scores of thousands
have professed conversion. New York
is regarded, rightly or wrongly, as a
very wicked city. The chances are
that it’s no wickeder than any other
American communities—it only looks
so because it’s larger. Per capita sin
fulness seems to be pretty much the
same everywhere. But inasmuch as
there av; 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 peo
ple, with a fair proportion of the old
Adam in them, within reaching dis
tance of the tabernacle Mr. Sunday is
going to set up on Manhattan island,
it’s obvious that he’ll have plenty of
work to do.
It’s the biggest job that any evan
gelist has tackled since Jonah set
out to convert Nineveh. All friends
of righteousness will wish the Rever
end Billy better luck from the start
than Jonah had. .
His venture naturally recalls, too,
the famous drive of John Alexander
Dowie against New York city in 1903.
That campaign was a disastrous fail
ure. There are important differences,
however. Mr. Dowie attacked the
metropolis with a horde of fanatics
and roused the metropolis to antago
nism and ridicule. Mr. Sunday takes
up the task alone, appealing to the
people’s sporting blood and command
ing respect in spite of his eccentrici
ties, by his self-evident manhood and
sincerity. There’s a world of differ
ence, too, in the sort of religion the
two represent. Sunday preaches
plain, old-fashioned Christianity. His
language and method are his own, but
his doctrine is the tried and tested
sort that has always been found ef
fective when presented by a strong
personality.
It seems in keeping with this pre
tentious enterprise that the distin
guished sky-pilot has been made into
a corporation. His work will be
conducted in the name of the “New
York William A. Sunday Evangelical
Association, Inc.” New York turns
even evangelism into the mold of
big business. We may hear yet of
Wall street trying to float a “soul
trust.”
Wanted—A neat appearing young
lady of good character to wait on
trade. ..One who can meet the general
public preferred. Only replies by cor
respondence in own handwriting con
sidered. Give address. 333
