MINNESOTA BEATS NEBRASKA.

MINNESOTA BEATS NEBRASKA.
The northern half of the state of
Minnesota is pretty much north. 1t
Is one Of the shortest season districts.
It doesn't get warm till late in the
summer and it gets frost early in the
fall. 1t is not on an equality with
Nebraska when it comes to being in
the corn belt" Yet the northern
half of Minnesota this last year pro-
duced eleven bushels more corn to the
acre than did the state of Nebraska.
What's the answer?
There is an agricultural school in
every county of northern Minnesota.
Nebraska has no such institutions.
One Minnesota county has seven az
ricultural colleges. And the state
gives every high school that teaches
agriculture, $1,000 a year
Minnesota appropriated $350,000 to
carry on university extension work,
in which scientific agricultural meth.
DDS should be carried to the farmers
by experts. Nebraska appropriated
but $17,500 a year for such work.
Most of the work of that kind done
in Nebraska, will be done free by the
scientists, for the good of the cause,
and in most cases they will pay their
own expenses.
why northern Minnesota produced
eleven more bushels of corn to the
acre last year than this corn belt"
state of Nebraska.
It's time for Nebraska to realize it's
morning, and wake up.

rotary of the treasury will take seven

demands reduction in the tariff

SHEEP.

The report by the tariff board on
Schedule X focuses attention on the
wool industry. Dropping the political
viewpoint, it will be interesting to
look in purely non-partisan way at
the present status Of the sheep.
Sheep have not quite held their own
in the United States for the past ten
years. There were 57,216,OOO of them
In 1910, and SLIPS, Ola in 1900.
Scarcely any other branch of Amer
lean industry has offered such quick
and bountiful returns as have been
gained in the west, provided the work
was done scientifically and efficient
ly. A young man in Montana a few
years ago had eighty head Of cattle.
He was unable to support his family
from their increase and finally sold
out and bought sheep, taking some
also on shares. He sold out after
four years with $4,000 to the good.
The reverse side of the picture APP
pears in two other young men who
came into Montana at about the same
time. They had $500 between them,
they bought sheep and rented on
shares. They had comparatively mild
winters, and in four years they were
worth $4,000 apiece. The favorable
weather made them over-confident.
A severe winter came along. Sheep
died by droves. They did not have
enough hay. and had no shelter sheds.
At the end of their fifth winter they
had just enough sheep to pay back
what they had borrowed on shares.
Much depends too on getting good
men for herders. A good sheep herd

opher. self contained, content with a

voices and moods of nature. Once

UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA


When the normal humanity of Amer
lean citizens protests against the
darker side Of Russian terrorism, it is
customary for Russian diplomats to
tell us that we are under obliga
ton to Russia for her traditional
friendship"
Meanwhile, Russia's 500 or more
spies in this country seem to think
we will bear watching. 1t is related
that one night in 1907, Rev. DR.. Ly.
man Abbott delivered an address in
New York denouncing Russian tyr.
amy.
At 10 p. m. the same evening, per.
sons who made a call at Washington
on Baron Rosen Russian ambassador
found that he already had full re.
port Of the doings of that meeting.
The Slav, logged and daring by ma.
ture, adds to these gifts mastership
at diplomacy. He uses the ceremonial
language Of courts with convincing
great stress on the slippery adjec.
tives Of the great international game.
The appeal has always been made
to northern statesmen that Russia be.

the civil war. The unanimous vote of
the northern congressman for abroga-
of hn VII .,
that this is regarded as ancient his
tory, also that the north has never
regarded this alleged relation as based
on sympathy with the northern at.
titude toward slavery and the ques-
tons growing out of that institution.
Russia at that time had a revolution
in Poland, and she probably sympa-
thized with any nation having family
difficulties on hand, without much an
alysis of the nature of those Difficult
ties.
Russia did try to bring about medi-
alton in the war of 1872, which was
to her credit, though perhaps a de.
sire to get England clear for the fight
against Napoleon was an influential
motive there.
Russia's remoteness, and the fact
that she never had colonies over this
way to lead to limitations, has no
doubt led to a certain negative friend
ship for us.
But real international friendship is
based on likeness of ideals and tenn
permanent. The Russian may wear
very correct clothes and show very
good table manners when Uncle Sam
invites him out to dinner. But to
win our real love he must stop urging
on the cruelty of his Cossack soldiers
when they are removing the legs and
arms of Jewish women and children.

THE ROOSEVELT PETITION.

The filing of a petition in Nebraska
upon the coming primary ballot, for
president, will attract attention once
more to Nebraska, because of the nov
city of the scheme, but the plan is not
apt to have great significance in pc.
litics. of it's own weight, unless there
should be later developments to show
that the colonel is in sympathy with
the movement, which all his previous
statements have made doubtful. If the
petition were to be supplanted by a
statement from Roosevelt that he
could not prevent it, or if he We're to
remain so persistently silent as to in
dictate that he was in sympathy with
the movement, then an important pc.
litical chapter might be written. Up to
date Col. Roosevelt has stated re-
peatedly that he is not a candidate,
and his friends declare he will not
be.
The petition shows for one thing
how divided are enemies of the ad,
ministrations. 1t creates a split in Ne.
braska instantly, the La Toilette forces
coming out with a statement that a
vote for Roosevelt is a vote for Taft,
and urging all insurgents to stay with
La Toilette. On the heels Of this
comes word that Senator Cummins of
Iowa is about to announce his own
candidacy.
1t is apparent that the insurgents
have abandoned hope Of naming La
Toilette, and that they are consider,
ably split up. But the petition is not
apt to make Roosevelt a candidate
any more than he has been all along
and we have it from him that he is
not in the running.
Many of the colonel's friends believe
that he could not be elected this time
and that defeat would hurt his chances
for 1916. And the belief is gaining
ground among republicans generally,
regardless of prefix, that Taft is the
only man who can be elected in 1912
They point out that Taft will be nom.

his achievements is placed before the

THE PHILOSOPHY OF TOYS

The Christmas toy giving season is
annually the occasion of much fine
spun argument among our moralists
concerning the influence of toys.
A few years ago it was seriously
argued that the prevalence of the
Teddy bear was destroying the ma
ternal instinct among girls. To this
1t might be replied. that as wicked
nurses and heartless parents long
held the child heart in terror by
threats that the bears would eat
them up, so a social service was rem.

suaded to look at the bear as a friend.
This may be regarded as particularly
true, now that a cultivation OF anti

The question of the amount Of pro.
