Whv a Farmer Club?

Farmers clubs are being organized
in four different ways to meet the
special needs of the various localities.
The farmers family club promotes
sociability, good will and neighborli-
ness among it's members without
which life is not worth while. 1t also
serves as an exchange agency for the
circulation of ideas, community spirit
and enterprise.
The farm mems club is devoted
primarily to the solving of agricul-
tural problems and the business end
of farming.
The farm women's club aids in
solving the special problems Of farm
women, child welfare and the rural
schools. 1t makes contented women

Signs of Added Profit in Diaries


The business of the cooperative
creameries in the state shows that
dairy COWS may be made more profit
able than ever. While most grain
feed is high priced, there has never
been time when it would pay better
to feed we'll. The market for butter
and cheese is very steady and the
present prices will probably continue
throughout the winter.
For the month of September but
terfat reached the highest price in
the history of dairying in Minnesota.
Reports from 253 cooperative cream
cries show l that paid II cents; 6
that paid 70 cents; Ill, between IS
and 70 cents; So, between so and IS
cents; 30, between SO and SIS cents;
and 1, doing very small business,
AZ cents. The average of the 253
was 63.7 cents.
Cooperative cheese factories in
Minnesota paid from 70 to 80 cents
a pound for butterfat.
With the world calling for butter
and cheese and these prices prevail
ing, no COW should be allowed to go
dry through poor feeding and care.
Cows may now be fed liberal ration
of grain, and where there is poor
hay and other roughage, grain
should be fed. 1t will not only pay
we'll, but the world needs dairy prod

UNCLE SAM ASKS ALL
FARMERS TO ENROLL
Government Anxious to Have Farm.
ers Cooperate by Joining Farm
Bureau

Uncle Sam wants more members
in the Farm Bureaus throughout the
United States and has asked that a
membership drive be put on in every
county of the country during De-
cember. The Farm Bureaus is the
governments agency through which
it co-operates with the farmers and
as soon as the whole system gets in
good working order the possibilities
for practical help to the farmers are
unlimited.
The Farm Bureaus have been or
ganized less than a year. In fact
the year will not be up until next
spring. The biggest job that all of
these several thousand farm organ
izations have been up against was to
get started. The work was new and
the field untried. Nevertheless there
was valuable work to be done, and
about the only way the work could
be done was through some such or
ganization as county farm organ
ization. The government is desir-
Gus of using it's vast powers to aid
the farmer and when the farm bureau
system is perfected it is believed that
such a system offers the best kind of
an agency.
However, the first requisite is
members. The farmers themselves
must take an interest. There are
about 10000 members in Minnesota
now and as many more in each other
agricultural state. 1t is planned to
increase the membership to 100000
in each state and when this is done,
the government will have practically
the farm population of the nation
back of it in this great movement.
The possibilities for practical So
luton of farm problems through
such an agency directed by the gov
eminent are enormous. Not only
crop production can be increased but
the marketing problem worked out
because the government will have at
hand an accurate knowledge of what
food there is in the country, where
it ls, what it has cost to produce and
it will have an effective, ION the

every state and in every county that
it can get into touch with inside of
a few hours to carry out some need
ed plan. The Farm Bureau organ
ization simply mobilizes the farmers
of the country under the government
direction for the working out of
farm production and marketing prob
lens.
A few moments study of this will
indicate to any man what the posi-
bilities are that lie ahead of this gov
eminent effort and should suggest to
every farmer the wisdom of getting
back of the movement.
The county has been thoroly can
vassed and the membership of the
Stevens County Farm Bureau great
ly increased during the past couple
of weeks, but more members are
wanted. The cost to join is trifling,
in fact the government only charges
a fee because of the we'll known fact
that it is human nature to take
greater interest in a project that
costs a little something than in
project that costs nothing.
If you believe in farmers organic
ing, here is Uncle Sans plan. It is
a purely business proposition but it

standards of the United States fol
oats, prior to his departure last even
ing expressed disapproval of ths
grades as suggested in a recent bul.
letin Of the bureau of markets. g.
"Thcse proposed regulations are
similar to the wheat grades as first
established. have not had oppor-
tunity to give the matter careful study
but l am convinced from casual
reading of this bulletin that the sug-
gestod grades fould be unfair to North
Dakota. To test weight per bushel is
low enough, SO far as this state is con-
cerned, for North Dakota raises all
exceptionally high quality Of oats. The
low percentages OF cereal grain ad-
mixture allowed. however, seems to
be altogether unjust. An admixture
: Of wheat, rye, barley or speltz does
not detract from the value of oats for
feeding purposes, and in North Da-
kota, where these grains are planted
in rotation, it is almost impossible to
prevent mixture. Under the proposed
grades only one per cent OF cereal
grains is allowed in grade /; but two
per cent in grade q; three per cent III
grade 8; five per cent in grade 4, and
ten per cent in grade S.
Il cannot understand why three per
cent of wheat or rye should depreciate
the oats to a No. grade. Using oats
as we do in a rotation crop, it is i'm
possible to prevent relatively high
mixture. With close grading OF oats,
and with the probability that similar
grades will be adopted for rye and
barley, the only solution of the diff

$24.15 PER ACRE. is COST

A price OF $2.46 for 1919 wheat, at
Chicago. has been recommended to
President Wilson by a committee con-
sisting OF John N. Hagan, commits
sioner of agriculture and labor for
North Dakota, and George Hampton,

ers' association, which presented to
the president report of the delibera
tions and the recommendations Of a
conference at Washington between the
wheat growrs' association and the
senators and representatives from the
northwestern Wheat-groWing states.
Commissioner Hagan was compelled
to leave Washington before President
Wilson found time to give the COM
mittee an audience. but he Is under
the impression that Secretary Hamp-
ton has by this time placed the COM
mittees recommendation before the
chief executive.
"The price which we recommend is
the same as asked by the national ad-
visory board,' said Mr.. Hagan yes
terday. "lt would mean an increase

per cent, over the, 1918 price. I am
convinced that this increase is war
ranted by the higher cost of produc-
ton, which includes such factors as
enhanced costs Of fertilizer. farm ma
chinery and labor. together with less
efficiency in the emergency labor upon
which the farmers must largely de-
pend.
"The president has fixed the 1919
price of wheat at $2.20 at Chicago. but
at. the same time he has left the ques-
ton open by saying that he might
name a disinterested commission to
consider an increase in the price if
he could be convinced that an increase
was justified. Our committee has ask
ed him either to increase the price to

crease should be made.
