THE KM) OF A PERFECT DAY
The evening of June 10 marked
the close of not only a perfect June
day, but of a highly satisfactory
commencement and of a very suc
cessful year's work at the State Col
lege of Washington. t
Everything seemed to combine to
make the graduation of the. class of
1920 a notable one. The weather
was ideal and all the exercises were
unusually good. The baccalaureate
sermon was the best and strongest
delivered here for several years, the
class play scored a tremendous hit,
and the address to the graduates by
Dr. Coulter was a masterful and in
spiring message, one of the finest
ever delivered at the college. There
was a large attendance of alumni,
and all the old grads seemed to bo
imbued with a spirit of optimism and
enthusiasm regarding the future of
their alma mater. I
The record of the past year fully
justifies this optimism. The college
has recovered from the unrest and
unsettled conditions brought about
by the war, the attendance was the
largest in the history of the institu
tion, work is well under way on two
new dormitories which will be a big
help In meeting the rapidly increas
ing demand for rooming accommoda
tions, and bids will soon be called
for on the partial construction of the
dairy building which was authorized
by the last session of the legislature.
The college work has progressed
smoothly and efficiently under Presl
deLt Holland, who is growing con
stantly in the confidence „nd esteem
of the people of the state, as his ac
quaintance broadens and his grasp
on the problems of building up a
land grant college to the maximum
of its protential usefulness develops.
Truly the evening of June 10,
1920, marked the end of a per
fect commencement day and of a not
ably successful year In the history of
the State College of Washington.

OPENING THE FARMER'S EYES
> The income tax is having the total
ly unexpected result of bringing the
farmer to realize how little the farm
ing industry has been making in the
way of net profits. That the farmer
himself has had an awakening by
this action of the government in
forcing him to make a computation
of his year's business, is indicated by
statements now and then coming
from them. One, a fair example, Is
in the form of a letter to the edltoc
of the New York World, by Patrick,
Wright, a farmer of Custer. S. D.,
who, writing under date of March
22, says:
"Heretofore the farmer never fig-

urcd or kept books till the income
tax compelled him to do so and to re
port to the collector of revenue once
a year. As long as he did no figur
ing he was happy and contented to
work 16 hours a day for his board
and clothing and thought he was do
ing first rate. But when he had to
figure he then found out lor the first
time that he was working for prac
tically nothing and not making three
per cent on his capital invested. Now
can you see how the cat jumps?
"The real truth is that the farm
er is doing as well today as he did
any time in the last 50 years, but not
better, and the income tax figuring
made him the most thoroughly dis
contented and disgruntled man in
America today. When the post
master general sent out that ques
tionnaire it was like adding insult to
injury, or. to put the situation in a
nutshell, the revenue collector com
pelled him to figure himself out a
confounded idiot and then the post
master general asked him how he
felt about it.
"Now, Mr. Editor, you were the
cause of bringing the typical farm
er under the provisions of the in
come tax law. You even suggested
that it could be fixed up in com
mittee, and so it was; and let me tell
you, by way of propheteering, that
the tidal wave is coming slowly but
surely and nothing can stop It, and
that you are the very man who
turned the flood gates wide open. It
is extremely funny to read in farm
magazines such phrases as 'It would
have been better to let sleeping dogs
lie,' and 'We all knew that several
months ago.' but never said a word
about it. It was a gross mistake to
compel the farmer to figger."
A high authority in the business
world a few years ago made this re
mark: "Tell me any firm's" account
ing system, and nothing more, and
I will tell you whether or not it is
a success." The same rule should
apply to the Individual. Without
question, the fact that most farmers
have had no accounting system ex
plains the fact that they have kept
on year after year with net earnings
of perhaps two or three per cent, or
even without any profit at all. When
one begins to make out his income
report, he will perhaps grumble a
little if he discovers that he must
pay a sizeable tax. But, if on the
other hand, he finds that he comes
nowhere near the income that is con
sidered important enough to be
taxed, it is but natural for him to
make some effort to see to it that
his income is increased. If satisfied
in ignorance of the fact that he has
not been getting ahead, he will no
longer be content, once he discovers
the fact.
Thus it is that the income tax sye-
tern, requiring reports in really cor
rect form specified '■] by the govern
ment, is going to result eventually In
an improvement in the farming busi
ness, for the simple reason that the
farmer will see to it that he has an
income big enough for the govern-!
ment to see, or else he ''change j
his vocation.South Dakota Union
Farmer.
EXPERIMENT WORTH WATCHING
Western farmers will be interested
in an experiment in wheat marketing
that is being conducted in the North
western states. The farmers there
are forming an association to dispose
of their wheat co-operatively instead
of throwing it on the market ln the
ordinary way. It is planned to en
gage expert salesmen to sell the pro
duct to millers and exporters. Specu
lators and profit takers will be elim
inated and all the proceeds, minus
handling charges, will come back to
the growers. The general outlines of
the plan have been worked out and j
whether or not it is adopted will de- '
pend on the farmers themselves. If
enough support is secured to guaran
tee an annual volume of 15,000,000
bushels steps will be taken to pro
ceed with the scheme and provide
handling and marketing facilities.
The proposed plan embodies two
features of more than ordinary in
terest. One is that the farmer who
joins the association assigns to it
the right to market his wheat. He
signs a hard and fast contract, run
ning for six years, to deliver all his
wheat, except feed and seed, to the
association, to be sold for him when
and where the best prices can be se
cured. The other is that the wheat
of all the contracting growers will be
pooled according to grade, the net
proceeds to be pro-rated back to the
growers according to the amount de
livered to each pool. These and
other important features are ex
plained elsewhere in this issue. The
proposed plan is simply an attempt
to apply to wheat marketing those
co-operative principles which have
worked with such remarkable suc
cess on the coast in the marketing of
fruit and other products.—Canadian
Grain Growers Guide.
HEROES OF PEACE
Has the spirit of service, the self
sacrificing devotion to duty which
was supreme during the war, died In
the hearts of our people? That a
great change has come about is evi
dent. The pendulum has swung
back. Consciousness of duty well
performed seems not so satisfying.
The demand is for larger material
reward. On every hand there is a
mad scramble for more money.
In contrast to this prevailing ten
dency is the attitude of the teachers
who have remained at their posts,
faithful to the children committed to
their charge. They furnish a stimu
lating example of unselfish, patriotic
service. They are not as well paid
proportionately as before the war.
Thousands of them have received
only slight increases in salary while
the cost of living has doubled. They
have seen a hunded and forty thou-

, sand of their comrades drop out, dis
heartened, during the past year.
They are compelled to pinch and
save until they are reduced below
their normal efficiency. Yet they
hold on heroically, like the soldiers
of the Lost Battalion, faithful to
their trust, glad of an opportunity to
give themselves in service.
"Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war," and these are
her heroes. Suffering from the eco
nomic results of war, they continue
to serve the childhood of America.
All honor to these guardians of our
nation's treasure. Let us hasten the
day when the people of our country
shall recognize the Importance of
their profession, appreciate the value
of their services.—Hugh S. Magill,
in the N. E. A. Bulletin.
