GREAT DANGERS THREATEN- ING OUR CIVILIZATION (Continued from Page 1) learn to understand orders quickly and accurately and to fulfill them promptly and to learn to give them and to see that they are obeyed? Would it not be a good thing to have our men thus trained for days of ‘peace as well as of war? And then if we should again have war, one-half of the time required to prepare for army life will have been attended to. Remember, militarism is not cre- ated by those who defend their civ- ilization, homes and liberty. It is created by the barbarous mind of _ those who want to couquer other men. And as long as this exists we must prepare to resist those who would impose militarism on us. The Second Danger, Another danger to our civilization has become obvious since the fight- ing has ceased, and so obvious that no one can avoid it. It is the danger of resort to violent, direct action for accomplishing a purpose that may be good or evil, instead of working, 1f the purpose be good to have it re- act on the intelligence and appeal to character, and then to trust for its success to the conversation that will come. I don’t say that we must not resort to force to achieve some ends. I be-| lieve many times in human history | armed resistance has been right; but always one test shold be applied at | the beginning. First, have all other means been exhausted? Second, is it probable that the end can suc- ceed? If we must answer no to either question then the resort to force can have no justification. Direct action is another way of spelling terrorism and yet it is a real danger threatening our civilization. The most mischievious people are those who want direct action instead of patience, education, reason, and consideration in settling the things that they are smarting under. The Third Danger. A third danger threatening our civilization is the false teaching that is being put into the minds of the people concerning the thing we call democracy. They say if all men are equally qualified to vote they are equally qualified to hold office. It is this policy that has brought about ro- tation in office. This is not democ- racy but is foolishness. Two facts contribute to the devel- opment of this idea. One goes back to the Declaration of Independence, which says that all men are born free and equal. This is not true. All men are not equal in height, not equal at second base, at quarter back, at lifting weights, as sprinters, in algebra, or in various other things. Thomas Payne suggested that in- stead of saying that all men are born free and equal it be said that, all men are created equal in respect to rights. That is good democracy. The other development of the idea is from writers, mostly radicals, who | say that all men should have equal | opportunity and that then they will | become equally competent. There- | fore, the environment of men should | be right, then all men will become richt, good and competent. I say that democracy should stand for equal opportunity, but I would see to it that that opportunity en- tended into the intellectual and mortal field. It should stand for equal moral and educational discip- line. Then I would say watch your men and see how many use it. Then voters! choose your representatives, aldermen, senators, and governors from among those democrats who having had equal opportunities, have actually shown disposition to make use of them. Try to make democracy a work- able thing and not let it break down into a dictatorship. Dr. Giddings was at College in the spring of 1917, the darkest time of the war period.

The Feeding Value of Grain Sorghums. By JOHN C. BURNS Head of Animal Husbandry Department Numerous tests have been made by the Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas Experiment Stations to determine the feeding value of the grain sorghums, particularly, kafir and milo, in comparison with Indian corn. In several tests conducted with cattle, sheep, and hogs at the Texas Staticn, equally as good results were obtained from kafir and milo, pound for pound, as from ground Indian corn. In several tests at the other stations the feed- ing value of these grains varied from 7 to 12, below that of Indian corn. If we take into consideration the results of all tests, we can conservatively say that the feeding value of threshed, ground kafir, milo, and feterita, on the average, is within 7; of that of ground Indian corn. Kafir, milo, and feterita can be used in live stock feeding for every purpose for which Indian corn can be used, and with good results from the standpoint of the health of animals and the quality of animal products pro- duced. In other words, they can take the place on Indian corn in any ra- tion in which the latter has a place, though, of course, to obtain equal re- sults, on the average, in the case of such substitution, proper allowance should be made to cover the difference in feeding values. It should, there- fore, be merely a matter of relative prices as to whether one should feed the grain sorghums or Indian corn. In the preparation of kafir, milo, and feterita for feeding, they should be rather finely ground for horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, in order to ob- tain the best results. Since these grains are rather hard, flinty, and com- paratively small, there is a greater saving in grinding them than in grind- ing Indian corn. For horses, cattle, and sheep, the ground heads, on ac- count of the value of the pomance or brush as roughage, can be used to ad- vantage. Hogs can not handle much crude fiber; hence, it is best to use the threshed grain in hog feeding. If the heads should be very dusty, threshing the grain for horses may prove advisable, in order to eliminate much of the dust. Whether threshed or in the head, these grains should be ground rather fine for the best results. On the average, good kafir, milo, and feterita heads should yield 75¢; threshed grain. The Animal Husbandry Department of the A. and M. College of Tex- as has been using ground milo, kafir, or feterita in the place of corn in feed- ing horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, for a number of years and we are well pleased with the results.
