What We Think of Corpora¬ 
tion Farming 
(Continaied from page 89) 
In years gone by I have often looked 
upon the man getting large wages with 
covetous eyes, but I am in a position 
now where I can see that all is not 
gold that glitters. 
I still own my farm and have good 
men upon it, so I do not feel entirely 
lost, and trust that soon we shall see 
more profit for the farmer. The 
sooner the better for all.— Chas. R. 
Mellon, Seneca Co., N. Y. 
Our Duty is to Help Enforce the Laws 
I N the December 23 issue of Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist, I read the title 
“Wrong’ Cannot Correct Wrong.” I 
read this article with interest and I 
heartily endorse your views expressed 
concerning the Klu Klux Klan. I do 
not think that the Klan represents the 
true American principle, though Rev. 
Billy Sunday declared that the Klu 
Klux Klan is one hundred per cent 
American in an address at Charleston, 
W. Va. last winter. This was after 
Klan members had presented him pub¬ 
licly with a nice fat purse. It may be 
that “Billy’s” declaration was literally 
true since the Klan does not permit 
foreign born citizens to join them. But 
does this represent the true American 
principle for which our fathers fought? 
Is this the principle for which Lafayette 
fought by the side of General Wash¬ 
ington or Baron DeKalb and Count 
Pulaski died on American soil fighting 
by the side of American born citizens 
though all of them were foreigners? I 
am not a Roman Catholic myself, but 
when it comes to an organization, the 
main principles of which are founded 
upon prejudice against foreign born 
people without regard to their char¬ 
acter and against a great church that 
recognizes Jesus Christ as the savior 
of the world, which sends out its ad¬ 
herents to care for the helpless, the 
poor and needy in Jesus’ name; I am 
suspicious of that organization. We 
have enough to do to keep ourselves 
straight and to do what good we can 
without appealing to prejudice against 
others to bolster up our own ideas. 
Again I read on same page a quota¬ 
tion from Patrick Henry: “It is foolish 
to cry Peace! Peace! when there is no 
peace.” I think this is no less true 
to-day than it was when it was uttered, 
but in somewhat a difierent way. Be¬ 
fore the Prohibition Amendment was 
adopted the Government in a way was 
in partnership with the whiskey powers 
by granting license, they granted the 
privilege to certain persons to make 
drunkards of the balance of the people. 
This made it to the interest of the 
privileged class to enforce the law 
^against bootleggers, so we had few 
moonshiners and bootleggers. Now it 
is different, the privileged class must 
either go into other business or else 
turn bootleggers. Many of them have 
organized themselves into a regular 
lawless bootleggers organization. We 
have men of chai'acter and principle 
standing for law and order and some 
who slip into places of responsibility 
who court favors of the lawless ele¬ 
ment. Many otherwise good citizens 
are standing off excusing ourselves with 
the declaration that it is the officers 
business to enforce the law. It is the 
officers duty to enforce the law, but he 
cannot do this unsupported. He mu.st 
have help. We have a State officer 
in this State, West Virginia, in the 
person of W- G. Brown, State Prohibi¬ 
tion Commissioner who has the courage 
of his convictions. He is honest, ag¬ 
gressive and fearless in the discharge 
of his duty, still we have bootleggers 
and moonshiners in the State, b^ut I 
do not think so many as we had a few 
years ago. The fight is on against law¬ 
lessness and no good citizen should cry 
peace! peace! until the law against 
whiskey selling is properly respected 
all over this broad land of ours. Is 
it not the duty of every good citizen, 
whether American or foreign born to i 
stand for enforcement of law? Can 
we afford to leave this enforcement 
of law to an organization founded upo.i 
national and religious prejudices? 
I should hate to get along without , 
the good old reliable American Agr - ! 
culturist. — H. R. Eaton, Cortland 
County, N. Y. 
My Engine 
Do the 
“I set out to build a farm 
engine that would have every 
feature the farmer wanted 
and none he didn’t want. It 
has now been on the market 
six years, 'rhousands of sat¬ 
isfied users tell me I’ve suc¬ 
ceeded. I’m proud to have 
this engine bear my name." 
— A. Y. Edwards. 
EDWARDS 
ENGINE 
Th«r« it no other farm cnKint 
like it. Simple in construction 
and easy to operate. It is only 
one engine, yet it takes the 
place of six engines. It will 
give from to 6 H. P., yet 
it is so light that two men can 
carry it easily. Set it any¬ 
where and put it to work. 
Change power as needed. It 
is a 6 H. P. when you need 6, 
or IV2 H. P. when you need 
only IV2, or any power in be¬ 
tween. Fuel consumption in 
proportion to power used and 
remarkably low at all times. 
Adjustment from one power to 
another is instantaneous. It is 
many engines in one. Operates 
with kerosene or gasoline. 
Easy starting, no cranking. 
Low factory price—now lower 
than before the war. The 
greatest gas engine value on 
the market. And you can 
prove all of these statements 
to your own satisfaction—try 
the engine yourself—free of 
cost or obligation. 
What Users Say 
Ivan Ii. Blake, of Hanni¬ 
bal, New York, saynt “Only 
engine economical for all jobs. 
I run a 28-inch cord wood saw, 
a 24-inch rip saw, a washer, a 
pump, and a grinder, and it 
sure runs them fine. It has 
perfect running balance, and 
it sets quiet anywhere.” 
Robert Grnett, of Spokane, 
WaNhingrton, saya: “It has 
given entire satisfaction. Fur¬ 
nishes steadier power than my 
old engine which weighed twice 
as much. It is portable, adapt¬ 
able and free from vibration. 
If I sold my Edwards today, I 
would order another tomorrow.” 
Prank Poell, of Cologne, 
New Jersey, says: “It’s a 
great pleasure to own an Ed¬ 
wards engine. I run a wood 
saw, cement mixer, threshing 
machine, etc. Do work for my 
neighbors. Easy to move around 
and easy to run. I would not 
have any other.” 
Clarence Rufledse, of Man- 
itoulan Island, Ontario, 
says: “Have given my Ed¬ 
wards three years’ steady work 
rkaUe Etigtme 
FREE 
and like it fine. It uses very 
little fuel. I run a 28-inch 
cord wood saw, also a rip saw, 
8-inch grinder, ensilage cutter, 
line shaft for shop, chum, 
washer, separator and pump. 
Have had ten other engines, and 
the Edwards beats them all.” 
Kurt Krujfcr, of New 
Brighton, Hlnn., says: “I 
run a 30-inch wood saw, 8- 
inch feed grinder, also a pump 
jack. You cannot beat the Ed¬ 
wards for general farm work.”

For “nice” 
cultivation 
Safer than a horse cultiva¬ 
tor, faster than the old hand hoe. 
Planet Jr. No. 12 double-wheel hoe 
gives you the ideal combination of 
clean yet speedy hand cultivation. It 
is the riding cultivator principle ap¬ 
plied to a wheel hoe—cultivating both 
sides of the row at once, running 
close to snake out persistent weeds, 
always under the operator’s control. 
It clears plants up to 20 inches high, 
and cultivates equally well between 
the rows. Large market growers 
use No. 12 in batteries. Every farm 
which grows truck for sale or for the 
home table will find it profitable in 
time saved, in better results, and 
good for years of useful service, 
a Planet Jr, implement—that’s why.
