DIVERSIFIED FARMING ADVOCATED.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING ADVOCATED.
In an article published in the Sun
day Duluth News-Tribune, Hon.. E.
Q. Spooner of Morris comes out
strongly in favor Of what he terms
mixed farming-diversifed farming
is the better term. Mr.. Spooner
can not see much profit in raising
twelve bushels of wheat on hundred
dollar per acre land and disposing of
the wheat at seventy cents per
bushel. He advocates the raising of
more cattle, sheep, hogs. colts, and
poultry and dairy farming. In con-
Guiding his meaty and sensible
article Mr.. Spooner remarks:
"In mixed farming the earning
goes on all the year round and the
expense of operation is but little if
at all Increased, and the farm is
every year getting better because
the soil is getting richer, if the
manures are made use of as they
should be, and as they are not, in at
least nine cases out of ten, of those
farmers who operate as small grain
farmers.''
In this section of the state diver
slfled farming has been the rule for
years. and our farmers are reasonably
prosperous. The Rum river valley is
peculiarly adapted to diversified
farming.

quoted as saying in an interview at

Thousand strong next year, and we
will make things hot for the farmers

sHACknEFoRD HAS THE RIGHT IDHA.

Evidently the automobile trunk
line road advocates are in majority
| at the National Good Roads conven-
tion which is now in session at De-
troit, Mich. But there is at least
one man there who has the right
| idea of what is needed in the way of
road improvement - Congressman
Shackleford. Roads from the farm
to the farmers nearest market town
and not trunk line automobile roads
are what is needed. The following
press dispatch appeared in the
columns of Tuesdays Minneapolis
Journal, and we commend it to the
editorial writer of that paper who
occasionally airs his views on road
matters and who can discover no
merit in the Dunn road law:
Detroit, Mich, Sept. 30.--''U1ging
support of business roads, as op-
posed to so-called "touring roads, !"
United States Representative Dorsey
W. Shackleford, chairman of the
house committee on roads, in an
address before the American Road
congress here today: admitted he
was mot in harmony with the
dominant spirit'' of the congress.
He urged support for the "business
roads" class, which, he said, aimed
for "cheaper transportation and
lower cost of living"
The FIGURING roads, class, de-
clared Representative Shackleford,
"demands that the United States
shall limit it's road activities to the
construction and maintenance of a
few ocean to ocean and across
country highways of great perfec-
tion and then leave the rest of the
people to build their own roads or
do without, as they choose. The
business roads class believes that,
in dealing with roads, we must keep
in mind easy communication be-
tween the farms and the towns
and the railway stations so the
farmer may market his crops at less
expense and the town dweller may
get farm products more easily and at
less cost.
"The touring roads, class desires
to get away as far as possible from
local control. To accomplish this
bill is now pending in congress
which provides that new office
shall be created-that of public high
way commissioner-who shall keep
his Office at Washington, where he
may not be Influenced, nor even i'm
pressed by the yearnings of the
people among whom the roads should
radiate. The bill also provides that
all questions as to location, method
of construction and maintenance
shall be finally determined by the
commissioner of public hi ghways.
ut is not road, nor yet a few
roads that we want. What we must
have is general system of good
roads extending throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
"You want so, 900 miles of expen-
sive touring roads to be built in
forty years. I. want 1000, 600 miles
of business and postroads' to be
built in five years. I appeal to you
to Withdraw your opposition to a
plain peoples plan, which we desire
to pass through congress at the next
session. Our plan will not be ex-
pensive and a vast majority of the
people favor it,
Secretary Houston of the United
States department. of agriculture ex-
pressed views similar to those ad-
vanced by Mr.. Shackleford, and
urged good roads for the farmer in
preference to transcontinental high
ways for the automobiles.
