For several years the company made

ing obliged to sell their products at

hold their wheat this year has not
availed to keep prices up. The farm
ers have lost hundreds Of millions of
dollars by neglecting to sell as the
price has dropped with little Interrupt
ton since July. Some Of them at least
might have saved part Of their loss by
adopting the traders motto of cutting
a loss and letting profit run. They

kellogg's Plan is Good.

Senator Keflogg's proposal that the
federal tariff commission make a
thorough investigation of the impor-
tation of farm products and it's effect
on prices ought to be adopted without
opposition. There are so many factors
involved in the decline of wheat in par
ticular since last summer that better
knowledge Of the facts is necessary
in order to forecast the future for only
a few months or to Judge the probable
effect of an embargo or of prohibitive
or highly protective duties.
The dislocation of exchanges has re-
duced the price of all American ex-
ports by reducing greatly the foreign
demand, and has stimulated Canadian
wheat interests to ship much larger
quantity into this country. The in
equality of exchange is due to the ex-
cess Of American exports over imports,
an evil condition that would be made
worse by the prohibition of imports
and the encouragement of exports, az
proposed in the industrial conference
in Chicago. 5

HELP STAMP IT OUT.
Mile Laos C0unty's Deaths From Tu.
berculosis Last Year Reached
a Total of Eighteen.

The deaths from tuberculosis in
Minnesota is a matter which demands
the attention Of everyone. The per-
centage of mortality has been greatly
reduced during the past few years by
the state board of health in co-opera-
ton with county organizations but
much remains to be done. Everyone
can and should help by purchasing
Christmas seals and health bonds.
tuberculosis killed 2,244 men, wo-
men and children in Minnesota last
year, taking it's toll in every county
but one (Cook), which has scattered
population of but 1910, according to
official figures of the state board of
health. The toll in Mile Laos county
was Is, in Sherburne 2, in Benton 3,
in Isanti IL, in Kanabec 2, and in
Anoka 20.
Deaths resulting from this preventa-
BILE disease were heavier than from any
other cause. Pulmonary tuberculosis
caused 1861 deaths and 375 were from
other forms of the disease. Eight
deaths cannot be classified as to coun-
ties until further verification is OBJ
tanned
Hennepin county heads the list with
SOC deaths, 465 of them in Minneap-
oils. Ramsey county is second with
,294 deaths, 258 of them in st. Paul.
st. Louis county is third with PIT
deaths, 70 of them in Duluth. Dodge
and Hubbard counties suffered only
one death each.
Funds raised through the sale of
Christmas seals and health bonds are
used to fight tuberculosis and other
diseases in every community in the
state through education, demonstra-
ton and promotion of legislation. The
bonds are the equivalent of seals in
the amount of the face value of the
bond. Seals are for use on all letters
and packages mailed during Decem-
her.

Farm Bureau Meetiuq.

The farmers i he gicinity of Pease
are invited to atssad a meeting to be
held in the Pease school house at 1880
on Friday evening, December II. E.
W. Smith, who is directing the farm
bureau membership drive in this coun-
ty, will address the meeting. How
ever Mr.. Smith does not wish to do
all the speaking wishes to have
the farmers themselves discuss the
farm bureau association. This is a
farmers organization and every far
mer in the county should be interested
in it.

and each of these will have it's presi-
dent, secretary and board Of directors.
The farm bureau ought to benefit the
farmers in several ways. It should
keep the members informed as to the
latest methods of improved farming.
There is probably not single progress
sive farmer in Mile Laos county who
thinks that he is receiving the maxi
mum yield from his land with the la
Dor expended. The farm bureau CO.
operates with the federal and state
departments Of agriculture and the
state farm school. Surely the farm
ers should keep in touch with these in
situations. The farm bureau pro-
notes the community clubs. These
clubs should be Of especial benefit to
the boys and girls on the farm by
contributing much to their social life
and stimulating new interest i'll
agriculture. The farm bureau bids
fair to become a powerful organiza
ton. When a representative of a big
organization speaks he receives at
tention. If the farmers are organized
in a strong association every legisla-
tive body in the country will be glad
to hear the opinions Of this organiza-
ton and will not turn a deaf ear to
any Of their suggestions AS Mr..
Smith said Tuesday, do not blame your
representatives in the legislature and
congress for not pushing certain
measures that you may favor when
these men have been informed in
regard to your attitude on these
measures.
Senator Hamer spoke at the meet
ing in Milaca Tuesday and pledged
himself to do everything in his power
to secure laws that would favor the
farmers cooperative enterprises.
The farm bureau can undoubtedly
do much to aid in solving the market
ing problems. The grain growers in
Canada are today operating success
full grain exchange. No one supposes
all the middlemen can be eliminated.
Certain middlemen, and of course re-
tail merchants, are essential to any
we'll developed industrial system.
