Cultivation Pays and is Patriotic.

Careful cultivation means more corn
and more corn this year means more
profits to degree that is not usually
the case, for this is year of high
prices which are sure to continue. Be-
sides to cultivate is to be patriotic.
Cultivation, says A. C. Army, Uni
:versity Farm, st. Paul, kills weeds,
puts the soil into condition to stimu-
late growth, and keeps the moisture
in the ground where the plants can
use it.
With the seed bed firm below, mellow
at the surface, and freed from weeds,
shallow early cultivation will kill the
weeds as they start, prevent the forna-
ton of soil crust, and retain the mois-
ture. For this cultivation a narrow
shoveled cultivator or a tight harrow,
the teeth of which are adjusted to slant
backward is best. The cultivator is
the better of the two if there are small
loose sods or other material that may
prevent the corn plants from reaching
the surface. Narrowing should be
done on a bright afternoon when the
plants. are slightly wilted and not
easily broken. ~, .- ~.
If the seed bed has not been
thoroughly prepared, if heavy rains
have packed. the seed bed after plant
ing, medium deep cultivation, either
before the corn is. up or as soon as
the rows can. be. seen, followed BY
deep and close CIVILIZATIONS each way
by the time the corn is from four to
six inches high, is good practice. -

Daniel AndersOn's Regrets.

Hon. Daniel Anderson, formerly of
Cambridge, himself a brave volunteer
soldier of the civil war, writes the
Union the following characteristic let
ter from his California home:
To the Princeton Union:
The perusal of Memorial day SER
mons and other patriotic utterances
contained in the Union of May 31st,
awakens with the writer the old habit
of desiring to say something, too, but
unfortunately my ideas are too stale
to coincide with many of today's do
ings-current events are too fresh to
suit antiquated notions; consequently
my remarks will simply consist of a
series of regrets.
In the first place I regret exceed
ingly that the three years last past
were not devoted more to prepared
ness, and less to underwriting, by
which our present environments might
have been very different that is
worrying over split milk-while pres
ent emergencies loom up in our midst
Am I alone to view with Notifying
regret, the evident apathy prevailing
in rallying to the colors of our army
and navy? Are we turning into "a
nation of degenerates, or are we only
in state of hesitancy during the pro.
mitigation Of heretofore un-Americar
ideas? Had our civil and military
authorities in the early sixties decided
and proclaimed that an army pro-
Cured by CONSUMPTION would be more
efficient and more desirable than one
of volunteers, I know one man who
was sufficiently DESTROYS to make a
good soldier to have awaited his
chances of being drafted. Are there
any now?
But to proceed: regret what
seems to me an unwarranted inclina-
ton, official and otherwise, to exag.
gerate in regard to the seriousness
of our condition in the present war
Let it be admitted that the U. S. arc
not on war footing, but even then
are we so insignificant as nation
that Notwithstanding the confidence
heretofore expressed by our allies tt

Stoneburg Ought to Get Busy.

There are two Farmers NOn-P artisan
Leagues in Minnesota, but the North
Dakota aggregation seems to be it, if
Vance Chapman, "The County Chair
man," is to be believed, and Vance gen.
orally sizes things up correctly. John
Stoneburg ought to get busy without
delay or his organization will not get
a look in. By the way, the farmers of
Minnesota have always heretofore
been able to secure the enactment of
any reasonable legislation they de-
manded, and they will in the future,
without employing expensive lobbyists
to urge their cause. :.
In his current weekly letter to the
country press Vance devotes this para
graph to the league:
"That money makes the mare go is
evidenced in the costly headquarters
maintained by the Farmers Non-Par-
tisan League in St. Paul; One whole
floor in well-known down town office
building is under lease by the league,
and no expense has been spared in
fitting it out. A long row Of plate
glass windows bears the league name.
Here the several hundred organizers
employed by the league report and it
is here where their collections of SIS
and SIG a member are sent. Organ
izers, it is said, make from $125 to
$3.50 week and only the best are en-
ployed. Here also is where A. C.
Townley, the brains of the organiza-
ton, and who report says has bios
somed out into the near millionaire
class, is to be found. That the league
has made Roadway in the rural dis
tricts cannot be denied. Farmers
clubs are its chief line Of activity and
all meetings Of such are invariably at
tended by it's organizers and speakers
of merit and persuasion. Where cash
is not available notes are taken and
these find a ready sale at the local
bank. It is said the league would
rather have note than the cash. Re
ported disloyal remarks by some of the
leagues organizers and officers con-
corning the government bond issue and
the CONSUMPTION act have been brought
to the attention of government
officials, but A. c. Townley, the head
of the new political movement, says
these reports are without foundation.
He insists that the league is helping
the government instead of hampering
=! it," .'.-

Our College BOYS.

When the writer of this article was
graduated from college in August,
1861, one of his classmates was in
Libby prison. Exactly one-half of the
class served during the war in army
or navy. All through the spring and
summer months of that first year of
the civil war the scenes on every COL
lege campus of the land were similar
to those we are now seeing. The boys
of 1861 did their part; the boys of
1917 are nobly showing that they will
do theirs.
It is an inspiring spectacle. Our.
college students are the pick of our
youth. Whether they are poor boys
working their way to an education to
fit themselves for higher places in the
world than their fathers occupied, or
the sons Of well-to-do parents prepar-
ing to take stations already made for
them, our country produces no finer
type Of young manhood than they
represent. Their conduct at this time
makes it clear that the estimation in
which the people Of the United States
holds them is not higher than they
deserve.
What are they doing? What are
they not doing that young men can do
in this hour Of their country's call for
help? Long before we entered the
war there were American college boys
driving ambulances in France, flying
in airplanes over the battlefelds, and
doing Red Cross work. Many were
in the trenches. Now there is no
branch Of the service into which they
are not entering BY hundreds and
thousands.
"Units" from the different colleges
for various duties are embarking
weekly for the scene of conflict.
Plattsburg and other training camps
are fitting future army officers for
their duties. The navy and the coast
patrol attract those who are invigor-
ated by the smell Of the salt sea. Even
those who have offered themselves
and been rejected as under weight, as
wearers of eye glasses, or as having
some other slight physical defect, are
drilling and training against the day
when such small disqualification will
be overlooked in the demand for uni
versal service. 81.
The country is safe, and the most
optimistic are justified in their conf:
dence for the future, when the flower
of our manhood thus dedicates itself
to it's preservation Youths Com
panion.

achieve victory without us, the situa-
ton is now represented as almost
desperate, requiring the most strenu-
Gus efforts, and almost degrading
sacrifices, in order to succeed. Inspir-
alton to confidence and unity is what
we need, and in case paternal admoni-
ton to practice frugality and self
denial, tends to build up national OPP
timism, give it to US right and left;
if not, let that which we have already
received, suffice.

A SUCCESSFUL PICNIC
Continued from page y

when one would suffice, as we'll as the
cost of extra help, extra machinery,
etc., was pointed out. Let the cream
cry make cheese if necessary, said the
speaker. " ....
The unfairness of paying the same
price for poor cream as good cream
demands was pointed out. Besides,
he said, there is no incentive for the
careless farmer to improve his meth
DDS unless improvement means more
money to him. He urged that cream
be bought according to grade.
- He also suggested that the monthly
or twice-a-month pay plan be adopted,
as measure of economy.
In conclusion he strongly urged the
farmers to guard jealously the inter-
ests of their creamery. The farmer
will suffer with weakened creamery,
he said.
A ball game between the Princeton
and Milaca mines was the final num-
Der of the program, and, of course,
Princeton administered it's annual
trouncing to the neighbors from the
north. The final score was to 3.
After donating one run to Milaca
the locals got busy and sailed the
game away in the first frame. Doane
was first up, and got on after lacing
out hot grounder that was imperfect
ly fielded. Jesmer then smote one on
the nose for clean double and Doane
beat it home. Smith was given his
passports to first on four wide ones,
but Mallette went down on a fly to
the guardian Of the keystone sack.
Berg soaked one fair and square for
three bases, scoring Smith and Jes-
mer, and he counted later on a wild
pitch. Princeton was retired before
Milaca's "rep" was entirely ruined.
= Both sides died in rotation in the
second, and Milaca was also blanked
in the third. Princeton annexed it's
last tally Of the game in this round.
Jesmer was retired, but Smith bumped
one on the beak for screaming dou-
BILE, and scored when Mallette's
grounder was not properly fielded.
Mallette was forced out, and the side
took to the field when Skahen went
down.
Milaca grabbed another run in the
fifth, being aided and abbetted by
errors on the part of the local per-
formers. A triple by Wickham fol-
lowed by an error gave Milaca it's
final run.
Wilkes was on themound for Prince
ton with Skahen at the receiving end.
Naegli and Soderquist were in the
points for Milaca. Messrs. H. J. Plaas
and F. Manke pulled off the umpiring
stunt to the eminent satisfaction of
all.
The picnic was the initial one of it's
kind to be held here, but it is to be
hoped not the last. It was rousing
success. The directors Of the cream
cry and Manager Warner and his as
sistants certainly did themselves
proud.
The Glendorado band made a decided
hit with those present and the lively
airs discoursed by this excellent or
ganization added not a little to the
success of the picnic.
