GRoNNA FOR A

The Scarch-Light does not at all
times agree with senator Gronna IN
his conclusions b.! it believes that
snce he has been senator he has been
a quite faithful representative OF the
people and of the progressive rrpuh'l-
can ideas. He may be at fault III
some respects but so are others
Gronna stands we'll ait the National
Capitol and among his colleagues o.
all parties, irrespective of any en-,
trarv reports. He can be nominated
and elected. Whatever mistakes nc
ha smaAle in the past are but mistakes
similar to mistakes that would have
been made by anyone else.
This is no time for republicans tt
quarrel or let personal pique or Jeal
ousy step in. Gronna. as a candida
tefor senator would be al tower OF
strength to the progressive repub'l
cans.-Search-Light.

The Minneapolis Journal in an edi-
toriaI argues that because Of cheaper
corn from Argentine the consumer in
this country can get much cheaper
food stuffs and cheaper meats, for the
reason that corn enters into the many
food stuffs on the market and also in
to the raising of hogs and cattle. This
may be a good argument, but We do
not believe it. When you hit the Am
crican farmer 0 arc in Il measure
Gripping the country, and we wonder
how the farmers are going to feel over
! cheaper corr from abroad. Take for
| instance down in Iowa, Illinois, Ncb-
raska and many other states, where
the farmers are our principal corn rails
crs. Under present conditions the land
is not paying over about } to 4 per
rent on the investment, and now that
they are thrown in direct competition
with free corn from abroad, we Won
der what they are going to do. They
are going to be compelled to quit the
raising of corn, or the price OF their
land must be lowered. And when you
lower the price of land is it going to
be Il benefit or a detriment to the
country at large. 1t looks to us as
though the whole thing could be sum
med up about like this. Cheap corr
from abroad, cheaper corn lands an
less money for the farmers at home
more money for the middle man, an'
the fellow who has to eat the ".lohn
nvcahr" will have TO pay the same Ole
price.

Just another instance of how the
American farmer is going to be bene'
fitted ~ by the Democratic tariff IS
the fact that last week 100000 bush
els of lori from Argentine arrived in
New York, and that country is max
ing all arrangements to ship millions
of bushels here to compete with the
corn the farmers Of this country raise.
Nearly every state in the Union rails
cs more or less corn, and every bushcl
of corn imported here from Argentine
or any other country, is a direct blow
to our farmers, as it is bound to cheap
en- the price. And yet has any one
noticed the reduced cost of living
promised on account of taking the
tariff off of food stuffs7 This cheaper
living idea is only . joke, but the I'M
p~ortation of cheap corn is no joke to
our American farmers.

most any food product from the actual
raiser to the actual consumer it can
readily be seen that too many enid
dlemen' have their finger in the pie,
and consequently the farmer has to ac-
cept a small price for his products and
yet the consumer has to pay a big
price for the same. Take for instance
the matter of a bushcl of wheat if you
please. The farmer raises it by good,
hard labor and when he thr-shes lie
hauls it to the elevator where it is
purchased. The elevator mar passes it
along to the buyer in Minneapolis or
Duluth, and makes a nice profit for
| the handling. Mr.. Buyer in the cities
in turn takes his profit and hands it
ovcr to the miller. He grinds it into
flour, and after. making a nice profit
forhis mill he turns it over to his re-
tail dealer and before the farmer gets
his bushel of wheat back to him in
the form of -four he has paid 4 Irofit
to four or five people. This is only
! one instance, and in many other asses
thr conditions are even worse. Now,
the question is, what can be done &c
eliminate some Of this! We prilcve
that cooperation among the turner's
and consumers would work greatly to
III, bnn,G+ of bOtb and nut,l that
remedy is applied the farmer will be
compelled to take a small price fur h->
farm products, as compared with what
the consumer pays for them.

to go during leisure hours, and if they

that has their pool rooms conducted in

many fathers and mothers object to
their boys being continual patrons OF

ii; Feeding va1ue, alralta ana ~
clover are very nearly equal.
The white sweet clover seems TO-
give best satisfaction for both hay
and pasture. For hay, the plants must
be cut early-about the time the first
blooms appear. At this time the re
pulsive odor and taste are not so no
ticeable as at later stages Of growth.
EARLY cutting is best, because a sec
ond growth will come Immediately
and produce a second cutting or q
seed crop. The yield Of hay is re-
ported to be equal to or greater than
alfalfa. The handling Of q seed crop
is somewhat more difficult than alfal,
ia, as it skaters very badly. 1t Is also
essential that sweet clover be cut
high-about four inches-the first
time or there is danger of killing
many of the plants.
The requirements of sweet clover
as to preparation of seed bed, method
Of seeding, amount Of seed par acre,
etc., are practically the same as for al
falfa. 1t is not probable that sweet
clover will be found better than al
falfa, where the latter can be grown
successfully, but in the drier sections
or on land that does not grow alfalfa
readily, 1t certainly Is worth while
making a trial of sweet clover. The
agricultural papers lately have pub
lished many instances of successful
trials of sweet clover. For lack Of
space these are not reproduced here.

SWEET GLOVER

Valuable Plant-0ood Soil Build
er-White Variety Best.

BY J. q. HANEY, Grand Forks, N. D
There are two varieties of sweet
clover that are gaining favor as hay
and pasture crops, the white and the
yellow Powered. These plants are
closely related to alfalfa, but they are
biennials, that is, a single plant lives
only two years. However, the sweet
clovers are such persistent seed pro
ducers, the seed of such high vitality,
and the young plants so vigorous, that
when once established, it appears to
live from year to year. The ordinary
methods of moving it at random along
the roadsides or on abandoned Of I'M
occupied lots or fields, has little aV
parent effect.
Sweet clover is considered by most
farmers as a bad weed. 1t, however,
has long had friends who have learn
ed its value, and recently, especially
In the drier sections and on poor soil,
1t is gaining much favor as a pasture
and hay crop. The fact that it HIS 9
rather repulsive odor and taste, and
that stock do not eat it to any great
extent r the faults usually placed
against it. However when stock are
confined to sweet clover pasture, they
soon learn to like it and fatten very
rapidly, and there seems to be nc
trouble from animal bloating on
clover as there often is with alfalfa.
In Colorado, along the railroads, there

The question of cooperation in the
marketing of farm products is one
which is receiving much consideration
',ese days. not only from the farmers,
but also from the consumers. There
il no doubt but that in many instances
the Hmiddleman" is getting more than
his share Of the profits in handling the
farm products and it is about time that
an honest effort is made to cut MIN
out and arrange SOM why Whereby
the consumer can get his produce more
directly from the raiser. By such a
method it would not only reduce the
price to the consumer but at the same
time raise the price to the producer
