Talk about bone headed farmers.
1t looks like there were a few left in
Bottineau County, when they would
meet in Bottineau to organize a

We notice by the papers that women
in certain sections Of the state are
working in the harvest fields. They
have nothing on the Starbuckites who
we believe can show as large a per
centage of girls and women in the
harvest fields as any place in the

that bodies of I. w. WIS so called,
refuse to work at top notch wages,

Curbing the Waste

Just now the housewives of the coun-
try are being deluged with advice and
warnings as to waste in the kitchens.
In nine families out of every ten the
advice is superfiuous, from the fact
that prices and pockets fail to harmon
ize. Economy was the first lesson
learned by the women when the pres
ent era of high prices opened. There
is practically no waste in the average
American home.
The waste and extravaganza In this
country is in the hotels, restaurants,
cafes, etc and in the mansions of the
idle rich. Intelligent economy will
never be praeticed in these places so
long as people persist in from SIX to
ten course meals, of which but a small
fraction is consumed; the residue going
to second hand resorts or to the swlll
barrel. No system of food economy
can be successful that permits waste of
products for no other reason than that
the waster has the price.

FOOD ROBBERS

Mr.. Hoover charges that the people
of the United States are being robbed
of millions of dollars by food specu
lators.
The same charge has now been made
for more than three years past by this
or that government official, and moth
ing worth while has ever come of it.
If, Mr.. Hoover has the evidence
that there exists robhing-that is,
acknowledgements in food stuffs;
if he has proof that there exists con-
spiracy and combinations to mulct the
public, it is his duty to place these
facts before the government of justice
that prosecutions may be instituted.
The federal laws are explicit and ad-
equate in their prohibition of such an
ti-public acts, and if fragrant VIOLA
tions exist without action by the gov
eminent, it constitutes sad reflection
upon the competence of the department
of justice.
The American people have listened
to these charges of food price manipu-
lation long enough to be entitled to
the expectation that something will
be done about it; and, if nothing is
done. that the officials who make these
charges hold their peace.
Mr.. Hoover has raised the old cry as
an argument in behalf of the admins
tration's food control bill. That bill
may be all right, but the arguments
is all wrong. If there are food hand
lers in this country so lost to the pat
riotic necessity of the moment that
they line their pockets by com bining
to gouge the public, the remedy for that
in the first place, is not price fixing by
the government. but the strong arm of
the law.
If that arm is not exercised, the
American people must come to the con-
illusions, either that it does not want
to strike or that the charges are bum
combe-Free Press.

Oyerproduction not to Hit Staple Crops

How much and to what extent should
the question of production bother
the Wisconsin farmer this year? Is it
wise for the Badger food producer to
sit back and worry about the t'bottom
being knocked out of everything next
fall?"
."Not many of the thinking farmers
are letting this bugbear idea get fixed
in their minds to any extent, = stated
H. C. Taylor, who lives on, and oper-
ates, a large Dane county farm.
Broadly speaking, there is but lit
tie real chance for an over supply of
the country's staples-such foods as
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, beans,
peas, and hay.
"The reason of this.is plain. Such
food stuffs either enter to a great ex-
tent into international trade, or direct
or indirectly used in army rations AS
things seems now, prices for staple
farm food stuffs will apparently keep a
high level, and quality goods will be
rewarded with exceptionally high
premiums.
"There is another phrase to the ques-
ton. AS much can not be said of arti-
eles which must be used for immediate
consumption, or in other words, the
foods stuffs which do not usually enter
international trade. Hence it is a good
policy to use discretion in expanding
the areas devoted to such classes of
food"

There's a Silo on Every Third Fam
in Wisconsin

l. Because silage helps the dairyman
supply his herd with succulence in win
ter as we'll as in summer.
1t helps to keep the cows healthy and
productive in the winter when green
feed is lacking and dairy prices are the
highest.
2. Because crop of corn has Is to 80
per cent greater feeding value when
put in the silo than when fed as dry
fodder. This is due to the facts: Q) that
much less of the feeding value of the
crop is lost in the ensiling process than
through weatherlng of fodder in the
shock; and (2)that silage is eaten prac-
cally without waste, while consider
able part of the dry corn fodder is re-
fused by the stock.
8. Because silo enables the farmer to
make the best possible use of frosted
corn. Even immature corn may be
saved by putting it in the silo.
a. Because when the dairyman feeds
palatable silage and good legume hay
he needs to buy much less of the ex-
pensive mill feeds to keep up heavy
milk flow than when he feeds such
roughage as timothy hay and corn fod-
der.
5. Because silage for summer feeding
is the best possible insurance against
drought stricken pastures in late sum-
mer.
1t costs less and gives much less trou-
BILE to grow and feed silage than it does
to produce a succession of soiling
crops such as oats and peas, green corn
and clover or alfalfa.
6. Because good silage from matured
corn can be used for the production of
milk for all kinds of cheese, according
to many competent cheese makers.
Creamerymen long ago favored feed
ing of silage to dairy COWS.
WHY Nor A SILo ON EVERY FARM?
A silo sbuilt this year will cut your
feed bills; will be permanent addition
to the profit-producing equipment of
your farm, and mighty valuable asset
when you want to rent or sell the place.
