Whitehall Town 1Eoetiu9.

,Svea. Mimi. March %, 1917.
Editor. Willmar Tribune,
Willmar. Minnesota.
Dear Sir: In ~the report of township
meeting for township Of Whitehall. in
your paper last Issue, we note the fol-
lowing misstatement: "Resolution pass
ed. condemning the laying out, or estab-
fishing of county ditch No. 80. and
authorizing and instructing town board
to take an appeal in case County Com
miss1oners establish ditch"
We would dislike to accuse our es-
Unable secretary, who undoubtedly was
your informant, Of uttering a falsehood.
but fear he strayed from the straight
and narrow path, when he wrote the
above in his account of town meeting.
What his motives were. we do not know.
but suspect he may have private in
terests which may be affected by the
| establishment Of ditch No. 80. OF
course, however, we do not wish it to
appear that his efforts in behalf Of the
| township are unappreciated but such a
| glazing Misrepresentation Of facts
might bear looking into.
For the benefit Of those who may
have read the erroneous report, we wish
! to say that this is what really was
done at the meeting on the ditch mat
ter: motion made and seconded attn
| case County Commissioners establish
county ditch No. 80, the town board be
authorized and instructed to protest
and fight assessment levied on town OF
White1eld." They were NOT author
tied NOR instructed to fight the Els.
TABL1SHMENT Of the ditch.
| We do not object to ''Whiteffeld Wall
| Street. being the dominating force in
town politics, but we do object to 1t.
operations being extended into our pri.
| vate projects and affairs.
Very truly yours,

to do this thing. 1t is that these dead
shall not have died In vain.' We know
how hard it Is for those who have had
the misfortune of deaths In their fam

The Frye frog bill has passed the
house in spite Of the attacks Of as VIC
ious special interest lobby as ever as
sembled to assail an attempt to check
the appropriation Of a public resource
for private profit. 1t faces a similar
attack In the senate.
Once upon a time Frye the frog
man" was 4 legislative joke. That was
six years ago. There was something
laughable about bill for an act to pro-
tect the field frog. And folks laughed
at the bill. and its author.
But when he introduced this bill.
Rep. Pascal II. Frye Of Willmar knew
what he was about. He let folks laugh
so cheerfully that. pretty soon. they de-
cided to let tho old man" explain what
| it was all about.
And 1.-The old man" explained. In

growing crops every year. mosquitoes
drank the blood Of beef and dairy cat

ducing their milk production.
Frogs subsisted Avholly upon tho lar

and graduated to a straight diet of bugs
when they grew up. They were nat

the frog. in districts where they oper-
ated. was practically exterminated.
These were the facts which Rep. Frye
hammered home. It was the plain ar
gument of plain man plainly pointing
out the practical. dollar and cents value
OF the frog to the agricultural producer.
TWO years ago the legislature passed
his bill. but it was vetoed by COVER
nor who afterwards admitted that no
had mistakenly considered it a frivolous
measure.
This session the bill was introduced
again, to meet with strenuous opposi-
ton from the interests whose revenues
1t threatened. This opposition Rep.
Frye met fairly. finally conserving to q
compromise which. while not wholly

WOMEN IN THE
FIELD OF FARMING
More Than Five Thousand Wome,
in the State are Actively
Engaged in Farming.

Ames, Jan. 20.-Mere man will
take a back sea- and listen to the
fine points Of farming as practiced
by Iowa women farmers at one OF
the big evening meetings on the pro-
gram of the Ames winter short
course and farmers week, Jan. 20
to Feb. 8. That evening, Wednes-
day, Jan. 81, has been set aside as
women's night and the program will
be in entire charge of the Iowa Wonl-
en- Farmers association and the
home economies department of the
college.
Half a dozen of the prominent
farmers of Iowa and nearby states
will speak at that meeting of their
experiences and Of the possibilities
for women in the field of farming.
Probably n of the Invest talks will
be that given by Miss Tura Hawk.
only home economics denlonstrator
in the state, who is leading. the
women of Black Hawk county into
the realm of better housekeeping.
She will talk on "The Work Of the
Woman County Agent" Mrs. Nellie
B. Richardson Of Des Moines, presi-
dent of the association and Mrs. N.
B. Ashby of Des Moines are also
scheduled for an address that
ing. On the following day at the
conference on farm management
Mrs. w. w. Gingles of Castana and
Miss Flora Harris of Indianola will
speak.
The Iowa Women Farmers associ-
alton is a unique organization of
women farm owners and managers
of the state, formed last year at the
Ames winter short course. That it
fills an enormous field is shown by
the fact that there are some 5,426
women in Iowa who are actively
gagged in managing and working
farms, controlling operations on
about $4,000 acres of land in the
state.

ter. One thing is certain and that
is, the boys will be much better of
to remain until spring now, instead
of making such a change as would
be necessary now from Texas to
Iowa. The Iowa Guardsman had the
following to say recently of the
weather in Texas:
Reports coming from Iowa Al to
the cold weather make pleasant for
many men the stay on the border.
Where a few months ago it vas the
cry Of everyone that they would like
to go home, now the majority of the
men want to stay until spring, or
summer. The old saying that ut is
going to be a long. long summer
will be true in every word, if anoth-
er few months are spent on the bor-
der.
There is very little discomfort
among the Iowa troops at the pres

The Iowa lO3 Oats.

The Iowa 1O3 oats are early oats
which originated at the Iowa College
farm and are said to be the best
yielding oats in the state. The Des
Moines Register. in speaking of the
good work of the county farm agent
in Black Hawk county, says: "No
line of work in the county, directly
improving the yield of any crop, has
given nor direct and quicker re-
turns than oats improvement work,
Iowa 1O3 oats has become a stan
dard variety ION upwards of $50
farms in the county. 1t has out
yielded the home variety on nearly
every farm during the last two years,
particularly this year."
