Remedy Social Conditions.
Work1ngmen's compensation laws
are enacted by the states to remedy
social conditions. Under the old law
the employers were held liable for
only such injuries that occurred
through their negligence. If they
were not negligent they were not re-
quired to pay. Inquiry revealed that
a great many accidents occurred
through no ones negligence. They
just happened. Their victims had be-
come burden to society. An increas-
lngly large number was annually
thrown upon the so-called Industrial
scrap-pile. These had to be cared for
either through private or public char
ity. The new thought declared this
was not right, and it was held that
industry Should be made to stand the
financial burden of the accidents oc-
curing therein. The state then set
| out to- find a way to compel industry
| to bear this burden. Only a few were
paid anything at all under the old
| law. The new law provided all should
| be paid something.
Difficulty in America.
| It is more difficult to enact this
sort of legislation in America than in
foreign countries because of our dual
form of government. A just compen-
sation law would provide that injured
workingmen be paid a goodly portion
OF their wages during incapacity., On
! account of the high cost to industry
it was deemed advisable to limit the
time Of payment in Minnesota to not
to exceed 400 weeks in extreme cases.
That is less than eight years. after
which the totally incapacited must
shift for themselves or fall upon pri-
vate or public charity for support
Labor is not satisfied with the pres
ent law. 1t does not provide just or
adequate compensation. To increase
the amount Of compensation under
the present system would in all likli-
hood operate against Minnesota in
dustries unless all states could be in
duced to also raise the compensation
to be paid. So labor says to employ
ers: "You are carrying the private
insurance companies on the back of
industry. They are costly. Their
agents must live. OF every dollar you
pay them for insurance they keep
from 40 to so cents for themselves.
We think we have better plan to
provide more just compensation to in
jured employees. We will save for you
that 40 and so cents you now pay to
the insurance companies; we will
build up machinery by which you can
pay your premiums to the state, re-
lieve you. Of all further liability, and
make the state the administrator to
see that your money is expended in
such manner as to prevent the vic
Tins Of accidents from ever becoming
objects of charity.
''Ohio and Washington have tried
this plan and it has proved successful
there. Norway has tried it for years.
Britain. the birth place of employers
liability companies, tried every other
plan and failed. and it finally had to
| come to state insurance, as we will
be forced to do. You must either &C.
cept our plan, or you will be CON-
PEELED to pay higher rates for private
insurance as we cause an increase in
the amount of compensation to be
paid"

More Dairy Cows Are Needed.

Consumption of rye in this country
was stimulated by the war to about
5O,00O,0OO bushels. If this rate of con-
sumption is maintained, a crop of 75,-
100000 to 80,0O0,0OO bushels would be
necessary to provide 25,OO0,00O bushels
for export, indicating a total acreage
of 5,500,0O0 to 100000 acres, in COM
parison with 6,8OO,OOO acres sown last
fall
''In any consideration of the prob
able foreign demand for American
wheat and rye based on pre-war con-
sumption experience" says the depart
ment, "a greatly increased transporta-
tiOn cost and the existing condition of
international exchange cannot be dis
regarded. 1t seems clear that if
the foreign exchange situation con-
tinues as it is or becomes more alb
normal it will constitute a powerful
stimulus for some foreign countries to
seek grain in countries other than the
United States, or to produce it."

tries to get back to their normal cat

their needs it will be necessary for
them to import dairy products, and at
the present time this country is sup
plying large quantities. Last years ex-
ports were so large that about 2,0OO,-
900 pounds of milk were required to
make the products, or 100 pounds from
each COW in the United States. The

decrease and imports will increase with
the exception of condensed milk. It
recommends that dairymen give par
ticular attention to economical feed

trates in large lots or the cooperative

SAYS BONUS MEANS ANOTHER LOAN

Granting an additional bonus to
service men would mean another large
government bond issue, which the
country is in no position to stand at
present, Secretary of the Treasury
Glass told the special house budget
committee a few days ago.
Glass strongly opposed the bonus,
claiming a majority of the service men
would consider it an affront to their
patriotism at a time when the govern
ment is sorely in need of funds.
To-day the credit of the United
States is imperiled,' he said, "by prof.
ects initiated in congress to get the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
More wheat should be sown this
fall than was the average in pre-war
years, but not so much should be sOwn
as was sown last year. This is the
outstanding fall farming recommenda-
ton of the United States department
of Agriculture, which is watching the
changes of world supply and demand
while European countries are getting
back to normal in food production and
thus affecting the market for Ameri-
can products. The departments sug-
gestions are based on the observa-
tions of specialists who were sent
abroad to report on foreign conditions
and probable needs, and on the most
extensive reports it has been possible
to obtain from other sources in this
country and other countries.
AS to winter wheat, the department
suggests that 100000 acres be sown
this fall to this crop, and that 20000,-
600 acres be sown in 1920 to spring
wheat, making a probable aggregate
production in 1920 of S30,000000 BUSH
els, of which 200,000,000 bushels would
be available for export after home
needs are met. This production would
Approximately equal the average yield
of wheat in the United states for the
five years 1915 to 1919, inclusive. The
five-year average is thought to be a
safe guide for American farmers.
Suggested Acreage for Wheat.
The suggested acreage for fall-sown
wheat is approximately 85 per cent
of the area sown in the fall of 1918,
and is about the same as was sown
in the fall of 1917. The suggested area
for spring wheat is approximately 88
per cent of the area sown in each of
the last two years. The combined acre
age of winter and spring wheat sug-
gested for 1920 is about Sc per cent
of the acreage sown for the 1919 crop,
slightly more than the acreage sown
for the bumper crop of 1915 and about
4 per cent less than the area sown for
the 1918 crop.
Winter Rye.
The pressure of war demands for
rye has ceased, and it does not seem
probable that exports next year will
greatly exceed 25.OOOOnn bushels.

and labor-saving devices.
Live Stock.
"What our foreign trade in meat
and meat products will be in the fu-
ture is impossible to predict with any
degree of accuracy, owing to many
factors which may affect it," the de-
partment says. "The exports will prob
ably decrease as compared with the
past year, as the European countries
increase their production of live stock
towards the pre-war production"
Other factors affecting American ex-
port trade are rates of exchange which
in many cases are decidedly unfavor-
able to those countries most in need
of our meat and meat products; cam
paigns, being waged in the European
countries for increased production and
decreased consumption; prices of
meat pEOUuCCS III LulS country dS COu-
pared with the prices in other coun-
tries having meats for export; avail
able ocean tonnage for shipping from
other countries.
However, pork exports at least prob
ably will be greatly in excess next
year of the pre-war annual export. The
European countries probably will re-
quire two years to get back to pre-war
pork production, and their present
needs are great.
Poultry.
Pre-war production Of poultry in
most European countries, the depart
ment says, will soon be resumed. EN-
phasis in this country is placed on
more efficient methods Of production.
Whether increased production should
be undertaken must necessarily de-
pend on local conditions as to feed,
labor, and other factors.
