than he has morals in politics. Real
style is an outgrOWth of honest
thought; it must be sincere, absolute
ly and always. And Wilson has little
use for that quality in his activities
He puts his faith in something diff

taking the trouble to make good. He
is president already why bother to
be right?
A fine literary style IS a great
achievement, and like all great things,
is the result of conquering difficulties.
Wilson goes around the hard places.
He takes hundred words to say what
thoughtful man would say in ten,

conceal his lack of thought. Except

Hondale Community Discusses
Local Problems

On Wednesday afternoon December
3, eight Of Hondale's leading farmers
met at the home Of Ed. J. Berwick
under the auspices of the Farm Blu
reau 10 discuss the farm problems that
are peculiar 10 that community
Those present were Ed. ]. Bern
wick. DIR. D. Bowen, Delos Osborn, y.
0sterhaut. w. Il. Osterhaut w. NJ.
Gregory. f. NJ. Kimhall. and Leroy
Hon All the men present were keenly
sympathetic to this plan or working
with each ether to solve their various
problems that stand In Me way OF
the best success.
The following problems appeared to
be the ones 'requiring present atten-
ton:
I. The larger corn stalk b0rer has
done considerable damage In the vicin.
ity of Hondale this past seoason and
the farmers fear that unless som'
strenuous efforts are made TO eradi-
cate this pest that another year ii may
bc beyond control. Methods Of eradi-
cation were discussed and Mr.. Ed. ].
Berwick was asked 10 experiment
with various farm implements In order
to find which would he the most suit

this will become one Of the country
wide problems of work.
6. The Lady Bean Beetle also came
in for her share OF condemnation DR.
Bowen win investigate the types OF
sprayers that will give the best salts
faction to spray beans and II is hoped
that the community will cooperate In
the purchasing OF this machine as well
as that Of threshing outfit.
Z. The membership campaign for
1920 Farm Bureau members started
off wonderfully well In this communi-
ty. Seven OF the eight men present
signed up their membership cards and
shelled out their dollar. Mr. w. Il.
Osterhaut Is chairman of this project
and he will at once endeavor to get
every other farmer In the community
for membership IN the Bureau
The county agent who was present
II; this meeting was very much pleased
With the willingness and eagerness OF
these men 10 work together In the solv-
ing of these problems and II Is expect
cd that the Farm Bureau organization
will be exceedingly helpful In Hondale.

county will Dave strong argument
for repeating the law that protects the
crow.
Fourth. One OF the most serious
problems confronting the Sllton far
mers is the inroads made by the
johnson grass. Nearly every farmer
has some OF this weed and f~w farms
that have neglected to kill 1, out are
very badly over run. And these few
farms act as breeding places to infest
the entire community.
All of the men present agreed to dig
II out, root and branch on their
II out, root and branch, on their
were even willing to contribute labor
to help ON other farms provided an
earnest effort Is made to make a
thoro cleaning up. Mr.. Il. A. Lewis
and G. ID. Hatfield will work together
In securing the cooperation of every
farmer In that community and siren
''o effort win be made to get entirely
~ NJ the pest before II spreads any
further.
Simmons Smyer was chosen to direct
the membership campaign In that com
munlty. He got busy at once and Sc
cured the names of all present for
membership and all who were unfor-
tunate enough to have a dollar along
were asked TO part from IT, II is ex.
pected that nearly 100 per cent OF the
farmers OF that community will be
Farm Bureau members.

Men at Silton Round Up Problems for
the Farm Bureau

Those present at the S.'ton Commu-
nifty meeting at the home of j. X.
Smyer ON last Wednesday night 10 dis
cuss the farm problems that need at
tentioR were q. ID. Hatfield, II. A.
Lewis, o. III. Lehman, J. II. Hestend,
Louis Smyer and simmons Smyer.
The first problem to arise as in
nearly every other community was
that OF the corn stalk borer. While this
pest has not done az much damage In
the Sllton community this past year
as il has In some other community,
yet its devastation hns been serious
cnoug TO require attention. Action to
pow out the corn stubble so that the
freezing weather will kill the pest
will be taken at once. Mr.. X. A.
Lewis, the county commissioner, from
that district will head up this project
and he will endeavor TO get all Of the
farmers TO cooperate TO make thoro
cleaning up of this pest.
Second, bean worm different from
the lady beau beetle has been giving
trouble in that community for the past
few years. This pest bores through
the bean pod and into the bean causing
many Of the beans to be worm-eaten
and full OF worm-holes. The pest has
net been definitely identified but II
resembles the old fashioned cotton
boll-worm. Mr.. Hatfield, who has been
troubled with this pest will continue
studies on methods Of eradication and
will attempt to secure the assistance
Of the College Entomologlst.
Third, crows and blackblrds were
unanimously condemned at this meet
Ing. Their damages have been enor-
mons on the milo and other grains and
the whole nelghborhood Is In favor OF,
making war on them. Mr.. Louis
smyer will endeavor TO ascertain the
damages done by these brids In that
community and II like estimates can be
secured from other communities Luna

able 10 dig out the corn stubble and
bring them TO the surface where the
freezing weather will kill the pest that
Is now alternating In the tap root OF
the corn stubble. As soon as Mr.. Bern
wick is satisfied as to the best tool
to be used he will dissimlnate this IN
formation.
2. The tomato wilt which has de.
stroyed from 10 per cent 10 90 per
cent of the tomato stand In the Hon
dale community came up for serious
discussion, There seemed no definite
Information available relative TO stop
ping the ravages OF this disease. How
ever, Delos Osborn who II keenly In.
terested In this problem was asked 10
continue studies and experiments on
varieties and methods of cultivation
to see ifshe might not discover some
preventative.
II Is feared that the failure OF the
crop this season will greatly affect
the acreage planted this coming year.
However, the people in Hondale, real
lie that failures happen at times with
any crop and that failure very seldom
happens 10 the same crop In successive
years. They, therefore. do not intend
TO give up on the tomato proposition.
g. Both the marketing of the sweet
potato through canning and curing in
n community storage house was brot
up for discussion. This crop produces
wonderfully well In that community
and II would be sure mOney-getter
provided the marketing situation can
be worked out satisfactorily.
Mr.. Osborn will investigate the fea-
sibility Of adding extra equipment to
the Hondale Canning factory TO handle
this product. He will also enquire In
TO the marketing of the canned sweet
potato. II Is alleged that II this prof.
ect will work that IL will add at least
another six weeks during the year for
me operation Of the factory. This
would be considered quite desirable by
the londale people.
4. One OF the greatest needs in the
community Is that of adequate thresh-
Ing facilities for beans. At present
there Is no threshing outfit In the en-
tire community and the farmers are
considerably inconvenienced To bring
In such outfits from the outside. II
was suggested that the most feasible
solution to this problem would he for
that farmers Of thesyicinity 70 coop
crate In the purchasing of communi-
~ thresher.
Mr.. w. H. Osterhaut was elected
10 investigate as-tO which makes of
bean threshers give the best satlsfac-
tion; where they may be purchased,
and the price. As soon as this infor-
maj tion Is in hand efforts will be made
TO finance the getting Of such an out
fit.
3. When the damages OF the crow
was mentioned everybody in this group
threw up his hands in horror over the
ravages Of this black pest. Every one
agreed that strenuous action should he
taken TO get rid of the pest and DR..
Berry Bowen was asked to obtain an
estimate Of the damages done TO the
farmers in that community and report
the same mt the annual meeting Of the
Farm Bureau where IL Is hoped that
