Fall Flowing

The opportunity is here for more
fall blowing than ever hef)re triec
in this locality. This is a question
like almost everv other one, that
has advocates and opponents. And
both may be right to a certain ex,
tent. Some years it may do nc
good. But many believe that it is
good in the average year. A mum.
Der of farmers are preparing to
give it a through trial this year.
The impression prevails that the
ground should be plowed and left
rough, so as to catch the snow and
hold it.
In the older localities of other
states. the work of fall picwing is
regularly followed each season. In
these localities, in fact. all other
work is laid aside when it is time to
do fall blowing. 1t is only neces-
sary to go a hundred miles east or
south of Miller to corroborate this.
Ii the people of older sections have
worked it out and believe in it.
why isn't it a good plan to accept
their experience as a guide, and not
Judge this locality by one trial?

Money i'm Base Bail

The great American game of base
ball has become commercialized, like
everything else, and today it is max.
ing fortunes for managers and good
salaries for players. Many college
athletes find it a means of getting
enough money to start in business
or a profession. Last week a young
pitcher named O'Toole, under con-
tract to the St Paul club. was trans
fered to the Pittsburg League club
for the enormous price of $50, 500.
paid by Pittsburg to the st. Paul
manager.
Many of the professional ball
players of to day have saved enough
from their salaries to owE a good
farm. or a good business in some
town or city.
The base ball field offers an oppor.
tunity for any boy to win both fame
and money. But the boy who wins
must work for this success just as he
has to for any uccess IN life.

fore it goes into effect. The South
Dakota senator's and those from the
other agricultural states voted
against the bill because it is said by
its opponents that it will iniure the
farmer by lowering the price of his
produce. Economists and those
who favor the measure take the
ground that it will be Of more bene-
fit to the consumer than it will do
harm to the producer, as well as
making a strong bond between the
two countries.
This country has become so much
a nation of producers in the last
twenty years that it has rather over
looked the fact that the consumer
has some rights, and it is quite pos
sible that the practical application
OF the reciprocity pact will prove of
great benefit to the country at
large. As a matter or fact, the
farmer himself is very little inter
ested in the matter, and it has been
strictly a political fight.
