ping of day-old chicks and eggs by our ad¬

hatching of eggs. We shall continue to exer¬ 
cise the greatest care in allowing poultry and

Whether You Are Wet or Dry 
(Continued from page 53) 
bootlegging to keep from doing hard, 
manual labor. I know this is true 
of the low-class white people and 
colored race, as you cannot get one 
to work on the farm at any price. They 
say they can make from twenty to 
forty times as much (and make it far 
easier) in a single night in the woods 
and oftentimes in the broad daylight. 
“Through this section of the country, 
there has been more meanness and kill¬ 
ing and all kinds of accidents since 
prohibition went into effect than ever 
before. Two-thirds of the automobile 
and truck accidents are due to the 
drivers being under the influence of 
liquor. It is hauled right by our farm 
night and day to the nearby cities, 
towns and villages by automobile and 
truck loads. We have county court 
every week, and nine cases out of 
every ten to be tried are liquor cases. 
They often cannot get through with 
the cases for the week. Who can truth¬ 
fully say that prohibition is a benefit 
to the country?” 
Mr. C. B. of Pennsylvania sets forth 
his pro-prohibition views clearly: 
“Your editorial opinion of prohibition, 
I think, is much nearer the truth as 
to farm sentiment than that of your 
correspondent. There are, of course, 
some who are sincerely opposed to pro¬ 
hibition, but I have not seen any re¬ 
version of sentiment in that direction. 
There are some who fear that there is 
more chance, of their youth getting 
caught with poison booze" than of them 
becoming- law-abiding citizens anj] 
while this may be true in particular 
cases, it is certainly not true of farm 
boys and girls generally. 
Too Soon for Best Results 
“But ‘knock-out drops,’ wood alco¬ 
hol and fusel oil are not new adul¬ 
terants; the criminally inclined have 
been using thfem for years. Neither are 
moonshiners nor bootleggers new. Pro¬ 
hibition has not had a chance to show 
its full benefits, because too many folks 
have been waiting for it to enforce it¬ 
self, and as soon as this element re¬ 
cognize their mistake, there will be more 
insistent demand for thorough enforce¬ 
ment, which is needed. The partial re¬ 
sults have more than justified the wis¬ 
dom of the policy and farmers generally 
are b ight enough to see it, too.” 
Many correspondents write that they 
speak for a family or a group of friends. 
Among them is Mr. F. M. J. of New 
York. “A week or two ago you re¬ 
quested the farmers’ views on prohibi¬ 
tion. Speaking for this family; we are 
dry, very dry, whether light wines and 
beer or ‘40-rod whiskey.’ If any reason is 
required, I must confess that I know 
very little about wines, but have seen 
considerable beer and whiskey con¬ 
sumed and have never seen a single 
case where I honestly thought alcoholic 
drinks, whether light or strong, were 
of the slightest benefit when used as 
a beverage, and I have seen many cases 
where it was an undeniable damage, 
not only to the drinker and his (or her) 
family, but often to many others. 
“The only real argument in defense 
of booze is that of personal liberty. 
Ordinarily the more personal liberty we 
have, the better, and it should never 
be needlessly encroached upon, but 
when personal liberty degenerates into 
the indulgence of an appetite which 
does no one any actual good and often 
damages many (innocent as well as 
guilty), then that personal liberty be¬ 
comes a public nuisance and should be 
firmly and sternly treated as such.” 
“Whiskey is all right in its place, but 
its place is off the face of the earth,” 
says C. E. B. of New York, but P. N. 
of New York writes: “After making 
a careful study I find that 95 per cent, 
of farmers in my neighbborhood are 
against prohibition as it is to-day. The 
rich have a little yet and the poor have 
a little ‘still.’ ” 
“There are ten voters on our farm, 
all of whom are very anxious for law 
enforcement,” writes R. D. T. of New 
York. “I am very glad your paper 
is on the right side.” 
The result of a Grange vote is men¬ 
tioned by J. E. T. who says: “During 
the last year or two that we licensed 
public poisoning our Grange, Covert, 
Seneca Co., N. Y. voted several times 
on prohibition and every time unanim¬ 
ously for prohibition, so'you are safe in 
saying that 95 per cent of the farmers 
of America are opposed to establishing 
the reign of hell on earth for revenue.” 
An official vote is also given by the 
letter of F. J. Riley, Secretary of the 
New York State Grange who writes: 
“In answer to whether farmers want 
the Eighteenth Amendment or not 
and want it enforced, I am speaking 
for 99 per cent of 140,500 mem¬ 
bers of the New York State Grange, 
when I say emphatically, they do. The 
Grange has always stood for prohibi¬ 
tion, not only in this State, but in 
every State in the Union where there 
is a Grange. We have laws against all 
sorts of crime, but still we have crimes 
committed. Is the way to lessen the 
crimes, to repeal the laws?—No! Then 
why repeal the Mullin-Gage Law?” 
More pros and cons next time! 
Meanwhile, register your vote and 
those of your friends, if you have not 
already done so. 
No Longer a Haphazard 
Business 
(Continued from page 50) 
as the American Agriculturist Calf 
Club Scholarship, to which only boys 
in calf clubs are eligible. One of these 
scholarships is in the winter course of 
each of the State colleges of agricul¬ 
ture of New York, New Jersey, and 
Pennsylvania. The scholarship in each 
State is awarded to the boy most pro¬ 
ficient in calf club work in the State, 
who has raised the best calf, kept the 
best record of his work and submitted 
the best story of his project. The 
scholarship pays all the winner’s ex¬ 
penses while he is taking the course 
at the college. 
In a recent address, Alfred Vivan, 
Dean of the College of Agriculture of 
the Ohio State University, said: “The 
great need in American agriculture is 
to encourage the right kind of boys 
and girls to remain on the farm. The 
serious problem is not the number of 
boys and girls who go to the city, but 
the kind of boys and girls who remain 
on the farm. If we are to interest the 
right type of boys and girls in farm 
life, we must be able to promise them 
five things, all of which are possible 
in the farming cotnmunity, namely: 
the comforts and convenience of the 
city home, schools as adequate as those 
of the city, an attractive social life, a 
satisfying religious life, and an income 
equal to that which they could earn 
in the city.” 
When one reflects that the net profit 
realized by clubwork in the United 
States last year was $1,500,000, that 
club members are thrifty and have 
bank accounts, it is not hard to under¬ 
stand why the efforts of the colleges 
and schools of agriculture is directed 
to the boys and girls—the future 
American farmers, trained to meet the 
multiple problems of that industry, the 
feeding of the multitudes.
