THE TUBERCULOSIS QUESTION:
Editor Willmar- Tribune:

Editor Willmar Tribune:
My attention has been called to an
article in the Tribune on the tuber.
culosis question, and some of NV
friends think I ought to answer it. I
nave no controversy with DR.. Hill.
who is the hired propaganda, while
l am only a volunteer citizen making
suggestions for the benefit of the pub
lie in general, of which I myself am
member
IN fact, my object of this tubercu.
losls controversy has been accomplish
ed. My object was simply to stop this
headlong rush into vast undertakings
before we know what we were at. OF.
tertail county has now tuberculosis
sanatorium in operation and I would
suggest that that plant be studied be-
fore this county starts on the project.
am satisfied it is good policy and
good Business to wait and see how
those in operation are coming out.
II it can be demonstrated by ex-
perience that county sanatorium IS
a good thing and practicable in coun-
ties situated as we are, why by all
means let us get one. Until these
vital points are settled we had better
wait.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
tuberculosis is social rather than a
medical disease. All evidence goes to
show that the improvement of social
conditions reduces the mortality ev-
erywhere. Cleanliness, good food,
temperance in all manner of living,
these are the great representatives. of
consumption. And these ordinary ev-
cry day virtues of the middle class Of
the population are the concerns of
the homes and the individual. Just
how to carry this propaganda of right
living to the superior and inferior de.
generate of humanity is the problem
and still more, just how to adjust mod
ern industry so as not to overstrain
the worker. The tuberculosis ques-
ton is not solved by the erection of
hospitals, however desirable hospital
accommodations may be. It can only
be solved by personal right living plus
healthy constitution to begin with.
- Respectfully,
DIR. CHRISTIAN JOHNSON.

COOPERATION IN THREsitlNo.
BY. Prof. Thos. Shaw.

AS threshtng Is now done In the
West It is too costly. The common
method Is to hire machine that pro-
vides It's own threshing crew. Pay
ment is made on the bushel or sack
basis according to the locality. This
may be very convenient way Of get
ting the work done, but it is too cost
~. In the far. west where the wheat
is sacked, the cost Of threshing and
of the sack taken together is about 13
cents per bushel, never less than IL
cents. In the Dakotas and Montana 1t
is equally dear relatively, except that
it is not sacked. This is tribute
which the farmer cannot well afford
to pay when the prices paid for wheat
rule low, and when there is long haul
to market the grain.
But there is another objection to the
present system. When the crop is
very abundant the present system does
not provide sufficient number of ma
chimes to do the work with sufficient
Thickness, much of the unstacked
grain must remain many weeks in the
shock before it can be threshed. Where
stacking is not much practiced this
leads to loss, and when the weather
turns adverse as it sometimes does,
the loss is increased. At such times
the charges for threshing are also in
creased. This does not mean neces-
sarily that the thresher plumbers the
farmer. It is probably true that very
few threshermen make rich. But it
does mean that the wisdom of doing
all the threshing with virtually hobo
labor is to be questioned. Surely there
is better way.
Would it not be good plan to let
the wheels Of progress go backward a
little to prepare the way for old time
practice? Why would it not be a good
plan for several farmers to combine
and purchase a threshing outfit to do
their own work? The number who
may thus combine will be banged by
the size of the farms. Usually the CO.
operative plan would embrace from
three to six farmers. One of the nun.
Der would probably own an engine u.s.
ed in blowing that could be used, also
In running the grain separator. These
farmers could buy machine smaller
and less expensive than the giant ma
chimes now in use. Such a machine
would not work so quickly as the 9th
er. On the other hand it would be
less expensive to operate, and it would
also be less costly.
Think of the advantages that would
follow! The farmers themselves could
provide all the labor including that
OF both teams and men. They could
begin threshing whenever they so de-
cided. They could prosecute the work
until 1t was all complete. Should the
weather prove adverse, serious loss
need not result, for those farmers
would be in a position to complete the
work at the earliest date possible.
AS diversity in farming progresses.
the need for such system will be-
come more pressing as the difficulties
from maintaining the present system
will manifestly increase. In farming
the truth will hold good as in other
things, that a penny saved is a penny
gained.

GOVERNOR ENDORSES PLAN.
Addresses Statement to the Publish
ers and Readers Of Mime
f. sofa Newspapers.

erS ana nea0er8 OF mime.
r. sofa Newspapers.
My attention has been called to the
proposed Newspaper Week." Octo-
Der 10 to Is, by a committee Of the
Minnesota Editorial Association. Per
NIT me to say that approve most
heartily of this plan to advertise Min
nesota and trust that many papers
will join in the movement to give
special mention that week Of the great
and varied resources of the state, its
rich farming country producing bread,
butter and beef sufficient to feed mill
ions, its vast forests, it's great min
eral wealth, its lakes and streams
and beautiful scenery. Every newspa-
per in the state can with pride call
attention to it's own prosperous COM
munity. ->. ">
The publicity given to the resourc-
es of our state will give our citizens
renewed appreciation of the opportun.
tiles before them for. acquiring the
necessities and comforts of life. But
II the state is to derive the full bene'
fit, Newspaper Week" should also be
a means Of calling the attention OF
people in other states to our healthfu]
climate and fertile soil, to the guam
tity, quality and variety of the pro
ducts of Minnesota. The publishers
must have the cooperation Of private
citizens and civic organizations. One
effective way in which they can aid is
by obtaining copies of their local pa,
pers during Newspaper Week" and
sending them to their friends in other
states. To do this will help in finding
new markets and creating new ed.
mands for the products of Minnesota
farms and factories, and will aid in
bringing settlers to the unoccupied
lands still found in some Of our coun.
ties.
