SECURING ARICULTURE
The life of a farmer is never one of
great joy because of the many trou-
bles that beset an agriculturist at
every turn of the way. After the
World War conditions became such'
I that the ability of a farmer to main-
tain a satisfactory income was taxed
to the utmost. Low markets, ineffec-.
Then and there they agreed upon a
set of Canons of Jourpalism, a code
of ethics for newspaperdom., It was
too bad that all the critics of the way;
American newspapers are run were
not "listening in". What they would
have heard of journalism's self-re-
spect and fundamental beliefs in de-
cency and fairness would have been
nighty good for what ails them.
The editors in that "upper room"
did not get out and range the wide
empyrean for the clauses of that
code. The material lay ready to their
hands.
They simply took the best and bet-
ter practices of their everyday work
and put them together. Most of the
code clauses are a sort of "second!
nature" ,nd more or less common-
places of newspaper making to meet
newspaper folk.
There is no new thing in these Can-
ons of Journalism drafted and approv-}
ed by the American Society of News-
paper Editors. Nor is there anything
"revolutionary'? about the code to
men and women who spend their
days on the greater and decenter
American newspapers.
For instance, one section of the
code deals with "Responsibility". The
veriest unlicked cub of a reporter
must be taught that. Other sections
deal with "Independence" and with
that great rghit" Freedom ,cf the
Press" guaranteed to Nation and
Newspaper by the Bill of Rights. "Im-
partiality" and "Fair Play" and "De-
cency have their places therein.
Grouped together in the Canons are'
"'Sincerity, Truthfulness and -Accu
racy". Light-minded folk who sneerI
at the printed word, shrug the shoul-
der and lift the superior eyebrow
might have been helped had theyI
heard the codemakers discuss thei
very special hell that ought to await
the insincere, the willfully inaccurate
will become one of the paramount
issues. Solution of the problem must
begin with the elimination of indi-
vidual wastefulness. We as students
are not exceptions fo the rest of thel
nation in this respect. We daily waste;
time, both our own and that of oth
ers. We waste money in uselss ex-
penditures. We throw away clothing
which might well be given some
charitable institution for use of less,
fortunate persons either in this coun-
try or aibroad. If we would take stock.
of ourselves along this line we will
find many instances where we may be
able to better ourselves by conserya-
tion.
And another generation of campus
politicians has passed on to the ranks
of eternal fame.

It has often been said of the Amer-

wasteful of all peoples. Lack of con-
servation is acknowledged even by the
supreme patriot to be one of the char-
acteristic failings of the nation as a
whole. In all industries, time and
labor are squandered daily. During
the war we found that we could in-
crease the output' and efficiency of
our factories greatly by keeping them
running day and night, and by a more
careful conservation of materials.
