Washington letter

w aSh1n9tOn Letter
BY Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
Suppose we forget about war
and rumors OF war for a few
minutes and consider things
which will promote the peace
and prosperity of the American
people.
What is the Congress doing
with the rural credits bili?"
writes a man in Lamar. He
says he is paying eight percent
for the money he has borrowed
on his irrigated farm and ten per
cent on the amount he secured
to purchase some cows. He has
learned that over in France and
Germany. before the people of
those countries went into the
war game = farmers could bor-
row money for four percent. and
he wonders why we can't do
something like that in this coun-
try.
There is no reason, except WE
DON'T. Congress should pro
vide the necessary machinery 20
produce the desired results, but
for various reasons it refuses to
get down to business on the
problem. We need a farmers
lobby in Washington, to remind
representatives of prediction
promises.
The story Of what some Europ-
can nations have done in the way
of agriculture development is
enough to make us ashamed of
ourselves.
Take little Denmark as an ex-
ample. 1t is a near speck on
the map with a large population.
About half a century ago, Den
mark became involved in a row
with Prussia and lost some. of its
nest valuable provinces. As a
result the Danes sank rapidly in
to condition of extreme poverty
Necessity compelled the adoption
of new methods. The govern
ment and the people cooperated.
Now, as the result of fifty
years of this enlightened endeav-
or, THE DANES ARE THE
WEALTHIEST FARMERS, PER
CAPITA, IN THE WORLD.
HOW DENMARK DID 1T.
How did they do it? A mod
ern rural credit system. scientific
farming and cooperative buying
and marketing. President CIV.
Dabney of the University of Gin
cinnati has recently written the
story of Denmark's triumph in
most attractive fashion.
The rural credit system is
based on the very successful
German pattern and allows the
farmer to secure money at from
four to five per cent. The gov
ernment does not make direct
loans but it rigidly supervises
the operations of the land banks.

experts 20 instruct the people
in the breeding of live stock.
Even in the breeding of single
hogs the individual farIper will
consult the expert. These ex-
perts furnish their services read
lily to the farmers who ask them.
The result of-this has been. the
rapid Improvement Of live stock
and a steady increase in tho
quantity and quality of the milk
and the character Of all dairy
products.
In many herds the quantity Of,
milk annually given by each cow
has been increased over one hun
dred gallons. The Danes attrib4
ute much Of this increase to their
scientific methods Of milking, as
we'll as to this scientific breeding.
The creameries impose severe
rules upon the farmers as to the.
methods of feeding the cows and
of handling their milk, and the
loyalty of the men to their oE=..
ganizations is remarkable. ThN
Danish trade in butter alone
and their butter is considered the
best that reaches the London
market has multiplied ten times
in twenty years.
Severe economy is practiced in
all matte rs, with remarkable re-
suits: This economy extends
even to the cows; which are hit
ched and required to Craze a
portion of the pasture until it is
eaten clean. They milk three
times a day, milk tests are sys-
tematically applied, and the cows
with poor records are discarded,
while the calves of record mothers
are kept for the farm.
COOPERATIVE SELLING.
The Danish cooperative meth
DDS of producing and selling are
also mostinteresting. The coop
erative dairy movement now in
cludes one thousand societies
with two hundred thousand men,
bers, and it delivered last year
over five billion pounds of milk,
which produce two hundred mil.
lion pounds of butter worth sixty
millions of dollars.
Similar cooperative societies

There are two poultry mems as

The man weo delivers stale eggs

Obituary.
EDNA STRASBERG.

The funeral of Miss Edna Strasberg,
whose sudden death was briefly noted
in our last issue, was held from the M.
E. church Friday afternoon, the edifice
being far too small to hold all who
came to pay their tribute to this popu-
lar young lady. The floral offerings
were most profuse and beautiful. Rev.
Hooton spoke most feelingly of the
character of the deceased, her connec-
ton with the church choir and Sunday
school as we'll as her important social
position in the community. The occa-
sion was one of impressive sadness as
a long procession wendell its way to
the cemetery where the earthly re-
mains were consigned to the grave.
The deceased was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Stras-
berg, born in this city June rs, 1898.
Her education was received in the pub
lie schools of Edgerton where she grad
uated in 1911. She Immediately began
her work as teacher, first at Shopiere,
then one year at Indian Ford and was
on her third year in the Hardware dis
trict, four miles west of town. when
the sudden summons came. She is sur
vived by her grief stricken parents,
two sisters, Mable and Grace, and two
brothers, Robert and John, all of whom
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their affection.

Jack Dahlgren, sporting editor of the
Lacrosse Leader Press, writes as fol-
lows:
Oshkosh and East Green Bay are
claiming the state high school football
championship because their elevens
have not been defeated during the last
season. Edgerton claims the honor be-
cause her high school football team has
won every game it has played and not
because she is undefeated. Oshkosh
and Green Bay have not won all of
their games. Therein lies the differ
ence, if records are to be used as the
basis for determining the title, and
that is the method being employed by
Green Bay and Oshkosh.
''The blots on the Oshkosh record
are the IL to IL game with West Green
Bay, defeated eleven, and the to 0
contest with East Green Bay. The
East Green Bay record shows that the
team failed to defeat Marinette, Osh-
kosh and Menominee, the scores being
respectively Z to Z, 0 to 0.
Compare it with the Edgerton rec
ord of ten games won, none lost and
none tied. The only redeeming feature
of the Oshkosh argument is that her
eleven is willing to meet any disputing
team In post-seas0n contest. Other
wise her claim amounts to nothing.

A very pretty home wedding took
place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cash Williams in Albion Thanksgiving
day when their daughter, Bessie Will

Hallett. To the strains of the Lohen-

marched unattended to the altar and
the Rev. Sayre said the words which
made them man and wife. Only the
immediate relatives were present and
after the ceremony wedding feast
was served. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hal

They will be at home to their friends
