The American farmer produce
raw autterfals for 70 per cent of
the notion’s commerce, bat he only
rwcehme about 10 per cent of the
attiooal income for this contribu
tion, according to Louis J. Taber,
of Colurabow Ohio, master of tbs
National Grange, at a meeting of
the Texas State Grange and re
turning delegatee from the Nation
al Grange tweeting at Portland.
Oregon, here this week.
Cooperation, teamwork and or
gamzation is the oaly solution) to
the problem confronting the farm
er, Taber declared in setting forth
the National Grange program for
return of prosperity. Home
must ha expanded, new uses for
farm products must be developed
and foreign markets must be held
< and expanded If the American
farmer ever is to be enabled to ex
change an equivalent amount of
labor and managerial skill in farm
products for the same value in tna-
chineTy, clothing and household
convenience* as produced by in
dustry, the speaker declared.
Taber pointed out that failure to
remedy the situation has resulted
from too many approaches as indi
virtual* and not enough concerted
action. "The one-step method of
farm recovery,’* he pointed out,
“must five nwsy to cooperative
action with the emphasis not on
production control, but on the capa
city tp consume, and an expansion
of this capacity.
We should scour the earth for
new products, exert extreme pres
sure'to discover new uses for our
present products of agriculture and
develop new plants.
“If President Hoover had follow
ed the ► recommendation of the
Grange when it proposed to export
debeWtare or drawback principle,
s<> long used in industry, I feel con
firtent our loss of foreign markets
for cotton would have been mini
mised and we would not have tueh
a tremendous carry over at the
present time.

i through the editorial
pages of The Battalion and through parsoUgl appeals to members of
the faculty, to give a brepthing spell te tjke students so that they
may have an opportunity to review, study, and fill |a the gape in the
material they have been stadying. As yet, few of the teachers on this
campus have hadi|M MaMgtjia their students’ point of view to take
the trouble to arrange their schedules so that last minute quisles will
not be necessary.
After all, the Importance of any course in anji university lies
the opportunity the students have to learn the material presented,
long ns the material is learned, not memorised, the course has sen
useful function. “Crai*ming'’ isn't conducive to leaning, t*it
neither are the dilatory methods used by mest students te covering s
course 4n the period of a semester. If students hgve an opportunity
to review rather intensively a week or so before the exams, the mater
ial gathered in their minds during the semester can be not only more
easily remembered, but put to practical use in the exams.
There ia no praetisgl laaspn why teachers should get so far
behind in their schedules that they must pile up w^rk at the students
at the last of the semester. There is extreme practical sense in allow
ing the students to have s week of rest and leisihrely review before
the great mental and nervous strain of taking<4m llpn
teacher’s admission that he “must" do so is an »dmiK*iot||Qf poor
organisation of hia material, regardless of the course he is teaching.
Dead Week does have h definite place at A. A if. Give the studenu
a better chance to get something out of the course* they take so th. y
can use the material later, rather than have a hazy, already half-
forgotten mass of date, data without the leeven of reaaening applied
to it.
