IMMIGRATION APT TO DECREASE.
DURING 1916.

Figures compiled and given out by
Fred D. Sherman, commissioner of
immigration, show that during the past
year Of 1915, there were exactly 4,444
cars of immigrant movables handled by
the Minnesota Transfer Railway COM
pany of which Minnesota received 1906
cars and the balance going to other
states. This gives Minnesota a per-
centage of about 81 per cent of the total
number handled. Other northwestern
states, which are in competition with
Minnesota for immigration are as follows:
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Montana,
Canada, South Dakota and Washington.
The nearest competitor to Minnesota
last year in the way of receiving immi-
grant movables was North Dakota, who
received 648 cars; Wisconsin came next
with SOP cars; Montana, $50, Canada
1853, South Dakota 1913 and Washington
81.
prospects for immigration this year
are not as bright as I would like to see
them," said Commissioner Sherman, ''but
Notwithstanding this, I look for fair
movement to the northwest when the
spring opens and have no fear but what
Minnesota will maintain her present
percentage of receiving at least as much
if not more than all the other competing
states combined. The fertility of Min
nesota's soil, the low price of her lands,
coupled with many other advantages,
is becoming pretty thoroughly known
throughout the states of Iowa Illinois,
and Indiana and we are bound to receive
the bulk of immigration to the northwest
for some years to come.'

Give Credit When
Credit Is Due.

Sunday at the local post office, a
package marked "Perishable" was re-
ceived for member Of the Review force.
1t was not sent by special delivery, nor
anything further done to insure it's
prompt delivery than to mark it with
that one word. However, a member of
the post office force saw that one word
and to him it was significant and he did
not rest until he was satisfied that the
package would be properly taken care
of by the owner, in other words, he
started out of his own volition and de-
livered it to the person addressed. This
seems to us worthy OF comment since
Sunday was a very cold day and the
employe of the post office might we'll
have been excused if he had dismissed
the matter from his mind as being none
fof his affair or he might have taken the
easier method of telephoning to the
party to call for the package. But he
did not stop there, apparently believing
that nothing but the best service he
could give would be sufficient. Such a
spirit shown by all employees, and
employers as well, would make a con-
siderable difference in the comfort and
we'll being Of all and it is particularly
commendable in one holding a Federal
position.

PrepoAe People To Live;
Not To Kill!

The spectacle in the United States
Senate when few days ago resolution
having for it's object the stopping OF the
expectation of munitions to the countries
of Europe now at war, was pigeonholed,
should be an eye-opener to the people
who are continually preaching the pro-
gram of preparedness. Our national
legislators, and we include them all in
that statement with but rare excep-
ton, seem intent upon only one thing and
that is the problem of keeping American
commerce alive at the price of lives upon
European battlefields, regardless of in
ternational entanglements and regard
less of our people who have no sympathy
with the military spirit which all of a sud-
den seems to have embraced our states
men in it's grasp.
The resolution intending to stop the
export of munitions, however, does not
go far enough. Not only the trans
portation and export should be prohibited
but its manufacture as WE'LL And why
should we stop at the munitions problem?
Why not take second step and include
everything that has a tendency to pro-
long the present war? Any great Amer
lean who will come out today and by
voice and deed PROFOUND the doctrine
of peace in Europe by these methods
would be a patriot indeed.
The American people today are not
taking kindly to the preparedness pro-
gram. What they desire today more
than any other one thing is the assur-
ance Of peace and not elaborate prepara-
lions for war. If it is necessary that the
United States start up it's factories to
give employment to it's idle and in some
cases starving people, let the government
take the next step and begin the manu-
facture of articles which will enable the
people to live instead of to induce them
to kill.

SETTLEMENT WAS SECURED BY
FRAUD.

A verdict for $4,000 awarded w. H.
Jacobson of Mapleton, Mimi, against
the St. Paul road by the Blue Earth
county court has been affirmed by the
state supreme court.
Jacobson was a passenger on one Of
the roads trains wreaked near Mankato
in July, 1913. An agent got Mr..
Jacobson to sign release for $3.50. Later
Jacobson's injuries proved serious and
he filed suit for damages. The jury re-
turned $4,000 verdict for Mr.. Jacob
son and the company appealed.
The supreme court affirmed the judg-
ment, holding that the settlement was
procured by false representation on the
part of the agent for the company.

grapes and fall bearing Strawberries have
been produced. The new fall-bearing

varieties as the Superb, Progressive and
others. T,~, #4a
We confidently expect some very
valuable results from our experiment
station, and with the efforts put into this
work there is no reason why we should
not in future be able to raise the best
winter apples as well as other fruits in
southern Mimi, equal or superior to any
thing that is produced in this country,
and this part Of your state being in the
same degree of latitude will certainly
share in. this wonderful progress. 1922
Minnesota is partly depending upon
varieties from other states, Wisconsin
having quite number of apples that are
planted in, Minnesota. G. G. Patten of
Iowa has given us the Patten Greening
and University, also new plum known
as Patten Xxx.
The Minnesota State horticultural
Society with a membership of nearly
3400 is constantly urging it's members to
take UP the work of growing apple seed
lings to produce new varieties. The
growing of seedlings is considered of
such Importance that the Minnesota
Society has offered the following prizes:'
One thousand dollars is offered as a
premium by this society for Seeding
apple tree ''as hardy and prolific as the
Duchess with fruit equal to s:'the
Wealthy in size, quality and appearance,
and that will keep as we'll as the Malinda"
2. One hundred dollars Contributed
by c. M. Loring of Minneapolis) IS
offered for Seeding plum.
8. One hundred dollars is offered an
nually (total $700.O0) for seven years
for the best late winter seeding apple,
under prescribed conditions.
4. One hundred dollars for Seeding
roses OF the Rosa Rugosa type, to be
awarded in 1918. Rosa Rugosa seed
can be- had of the secretary at 10c per
packet.
S. Six hundred to one thousand
dollars in prizes for one acre orchards,
planted in the spring of 1914. Prizes to
be awarded in September 1921.
Whenever this prize of 100000 will
have been paid for the apple as described,
it will be good investment, as it will be
worth millions to the Northwest.
Altho am only to give you notes on
Minnesota fruit culture, I consider it
necessary to mention the fact that we
are also sharing in the benefits that come
from your S. D. experiment station.
Your worthy Prof. N. E. Hansen of the
Brookings experiment station, the largest
in the country, has given us some very
fine new fruits that are being disseminated
not only in Minnesota but in other states
as well. We cannot say too much in
praise of the work Prof. Hansen has done.
For our Northwest conditions, your
worthy Professor has outranked the
great plant wizard, Luther Burbank,
and you can congratulate yourselves in
South Dakota for having the Professor
with you.
AS formerly you had only the North
west blizzard, you now have also the
Northwest wizard.

their return they made an elaborate
report to Congress, urging the establish

that federal aid was unnecessary and

The Kansas Rural Credit Association

by the agricultural interests and its
