An Incidental Factor.

While the statement of James A.
Farrell, president Of the United
States Steel corporation, made in St..
Paul Saturday, that he does not care
how many tons of steel the allies
are throwing into the Dardanelles,
and that the war is but an incidental
factor in the steel business, must be
taken with a grain of salt, the fact
remains that he is one of few men
so situated that they can give Eek
pert" testimony as to the present
prosperity Of the United States.
It is therefore interesting that a
man so prominent in the financial
world should be quoted as making a
statement such as the following:
"The European war is merely an in
cidental force in increasing the pros
perity of our nation. Our business
is increasing daily in volume. The
general -aceelefation of business since
last Demember is quite marked"
Mr.. Farrell insists that mills
throughout the country are operating
within seventy per cent of their ca
paeity and that this prosperous con-
dition is growing more pronounced
each week.
"Good crops, prospects of more
good crops, good railroad conditions
and general optimism, was the rea-
son assigned by President Farrell for
the prosperous condition of the coun-
try. Answering question as to
what would be the condition of the
country if the European war con-
tinued for. one year and the United
States remained at peace, President
Farrell insisted that he believed that
the European war would not in the
least enter into the prosperity of
this country.
But Mr.: Farrell is not the only
American who has true knowledge
of the present prosperous conditions
in the United States; not the only
one who 'foresig1rts a bright future.
1t is such utterances as his which
are to assist in promoting business
to that point of activity where the
prosperity of this, the greatest nation
in the world will be noticeable to
the most Askeptical.

SILAGE SUBSTITUTE
FOR SMALL FARMS

On large farms, succulent feed is
provided in the form of ensilage. On
smaller farms, or where there is no
silO, root crops, such as mangels,
rutabagas and stock carrots may be
used with profit as substitute. Sill
age is produced almost entirely with
machine labor. Roots require good
deal of hand labor, but entail little
or no extra expenses for machinery.
Ten tons of roots per acre-about
the amount than can be grown on
land that will yield so bushels of
corn to the acre is not a profitable
crop, but 20, or even rs tons may
easily be secured under good man
agement and will pay we'll.
Experience shows that definite
system of cropping should be ar
ranged so that one may be preparing
for his root crop year or more
ahead. Heavy manuring, followed
by a crop Of potatoes that can be
cultivated with horse labor, will re-
suit in a good crop of potatoes, will
enrich the soil, destroy weeds, and
leave the soil in good shape for a
root crop.
Mangels, as rule, are the best
roots to grow. They should be plant
ed in rows from 2 feet to 80 inches
apart, to allow for cultivation with
a horse. From 8 to IL pounds of
seed will be required for an acre.
The seed should be planted about
orn-planting time, or very soon a.
ter,-on deep-plowed, thoroughly disk
ed and pulverized soil. The cultiva-
ton at first can be done with a
wheel handhoe, later with horse
and fine tooth cultivator. When the
plants are from 2 to inches high,
they should be thinned by chopping
crosswise of the row with a good
sharp hoe, leaving little punches Of
plants from to 10 inches apart.
These punches should then by hand
be thinned to one plant. After that
large part of the cultivation can
be done with a horse cultivator.
Twenty tons of roots will furnish
20: pounds of roots per day for 10
COWS for 200 days. Roots are not
only valuable for dairy COWS, but are
just as valuable for young stock and
brood sows.

TWO DEBATE TEAMS TO BE
CHOSEN.

A new ruling of the interscholastic
debating board was put into force last
week by the announcement that this
year each high school would have two
instead of one debate team in the con-
tests. The debates will be held under
the triangular system, where each high
school will debate both sides of the
question with two other high schools in
the district. Principal Hutson made
a second call for volunteers, to which
several new debaters responded. The
men who had made the team at the first
try-outs have their places assured al
though they will not necessarily form one
Of the teams. A shift may be made in
order to make the teams as closely equal
in ability as possible. The members for
the second team will be selected at a
public try-out on the same manner as
the first team. This will give three
more men a chance for training in de-
batting on the first team, and two others
besides that for alternates.

ready to laugh mirthlessly over it and
hold the paper up to scorn and say a

both hands tied, and proceed to bawl
out the editor publicly. And the edi-

it look like twenty cents. The windows

is at her club, the kids see the moving

when it means that the poor must go
to jail while the rich can pay fine
and escape.
A son Of a very rich family was ar
rested in New York the other day
charged with running an automobile
while drunk-which is, by the way,
an admirable occasion for being arrested.
He was convicted. The law allowed
the judge to fine the man or to send him
to jail, as he pleased; or he could i'm
pose the alternative Of fine or imprison-
ment.
The judge, however, sent the man tc
jail for thirty days.
=, The culprit's parents pleaded fo1
mercy" They were willing to pay
any kind of fine. They wouldn't
haggle over the amount-just name it
and they'd pay it gladly. Only their
boy mustn't be sent to jail.
He was, though.
"The payment of a fine would be no
punishment Of this young man. said
the judge; mo punishment at all. 1t
wouldn't cost him anything, and it
wouldn't cost his parents anything
they would feel.
The judge was right. The posses
sion of money ought to imply no i'm
munity from punishment. 1t ought
not to avail to procure immunity,
ever. 1t does procure such immunity
in too many cases.
If there were more such reasoning
by those charged with the adnainistra-
ton of law there would be fewer COM

LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE.

Attention is once more called to the
motion pictures which will be taken IN
the city next Saturday. On that day
the camera man Of the United Educa-
tional and Publicity Bureau will be in
New Ulm for the purpose OF taking
motion pictures. This is the first time
in the history of the city that this is
being done. The object OF taking these
motion pictures is for the purpose OF
showing on the screen the activities
of the citizens of New Tim and the
farmers in the nieghborhood who make
New Ulm their trading point. If there
are very few people on the street and
if very little shopping is done on that
day it will not reflect to the credit OF
New Ulm. For that reason it is almost
imperative that large number OF people
be on the streets.
Motion pictures are being taken OF
quite a number of cities in the State
and it is the intention to exchange them
so that the people in different parts OF
the State will have an opportunity to see
what the neighboring cities look like
and what they are doing. 1t ought to
prove quite an advertisement for the
city. Remember, these films will be
shown at the Ruby Theater and if you
want to be on the pictures you must
arrange to be on the streets OF New uln
on Saturday, October 18th, when the
camera man will be in town. The
motion pictures will include all public
buildings, residence sections, parks, bust
ness blocks and all places Of interest IN
and around New Ulm. The Minnesota
Street pictures will be taken during the
afternoon when it is expected that the
largest number of people can arrange
to be about.

IN EARLY DAYS.

1t is with deep appreciation Of the kind
ness OF Mr.. Theodore Crone that we
acknowledge his assistance in the prepa-
ration of the article on Merchandising
In Pioneer Times, given on Page Fifteen
in the supplement magazine. MIR. Crone
took a great interest in the preparation
of the magazine and his assistance was
of cOnsiderabl use to us. However, the
portion of the article referring to the fact
that Crone Brothers carried the farmers
thru the Grasshopper Time was added
by the editor since we have often been
reminded of the fact therein stated, by
some of those who benefited by the
assistance Of the firm. Mr.. Crone has
also given us another interesting story
of the grasshopper days, telling how the
people made living when there were no
fields to work. The magazine is crowded
to the brim with accounts OF New Ulm's
Industries SO we relate here some of the
incidents mentioned by him.
Mr.. Crone says: ''The only money
in circulation in those hard times was
received from the sale of grasshoppers.
by catching the creatures and killing
them in quantities, they received from
the state price of $500 per bushel of so
poOilOo- LII Cillo way 1udIy pcoplS uldOS
enough money to keep them in supplies
over winter. Later when the hoppers
came in such quantities the price dropped
until it finally was only a dollar bushel.
Many a pesky grasshopper was drowned
and soaked in his death-bath over night
so that he might help to make a heavy
bushel when his catcher took him to
market the next morning"
Amusing now, but not so funny then,
were the devices Of the people to catch
their enemies. Boys and girls, now the
business and professional men and the
housewives Of the city, would start out
day after day with sack fastened to a
barrel hoop and run thru the fields until
they had all the weight of hoppers they
could carry. Farmers rugged up an
apparatus something like sail on drag,
with receptacle to hold the hoppers that
9sw against the sail and drove about
across their fields, endeavorlng to RID
themselves of the plague. A great pit
was digged in town and after the hoppers
had been paid for they were dumped into
the pit and burned. It is said that at
times the insects were so thick, that
breathing was unpleasant, particularly
for those who could not breathe without
opening their mouths.
Another amusing instance was related
by Mr.. Crone in connection with the same
period. There was no other chicken feed
except the grasshoppers and the result
produced among the biddies rather put
the fruit of their labors in the discard.
The yolks of their eggs would be deep
red in color, and not particularly appe-
tizing to gaze upon. In Chicago on Com
mission Street they called them "Grass-
hopper Eggs" and that settled the sale
and they would be taken by consumers,
if at all, only at very low prices.
