GROWING SOY
BEANS IN CORN

The Iowa agricultural experiment
station says that Iowa farmers who
have been growing soy beans in corn
for silage or hogging down, furnish
almost conclusive proof of the value
of the combination.
Some 800 farmers throughout
state co-operated with the experiment
station in the growing of these crops.
Over 700 of these men were we'll
pleased with the results and said that
they would use the combination of
soy beans and corn more extensively
in the future More than half of the
number of co-operators reported that
the yield of corn was increased rath-
er than decreased.
Statements such as Didn't decrease
corn yield" Coming crop to mix with
corn silage," Every good crop" eek
pect to plant beans with every hill of
corn next year." were included in the
farmers reports to the experiment
station.
Soy beans are high in protein con-
tent, and therefore the mixed silage is
richer than corn silage. The corn
yield is not decreased on soil of good
fertility, and a yield of little less
than one-half a ton of soy beans per
acre is received. These facts should
make soy beans a popular crop.

Holstein Cow Has Record for Pro-

Columbus, Ohio, June 8.-(By The
United Press. If one could make a
flock of dollar bills follow the Ohio
Calantha Baker system, riches would
be easily obtainable. o. c. B. is a COW
of Holstein extraction and she re-
produces her weight in milk and but
ter several times a year. Over at Ohio
State university, where she boards,
they call her the unbeatable bovine.
o. C. E. holds the record for milk
and butter production, university Of
ficials claim. Since March /, 1912,
she gave total of more than 100000
pounds of milk and 4,310 pounds of
butter o. C. B. rarely falls below a
mark of forty pounds of milk daily
and usually averages forty-five
pounds
Her unofficial record for the past
year shows production of 1896
pounds of milk and S37 pounds of
butter.
Prof. C. T. Conklin attributes o. C.
BIS success to a balanced diet. Of
course she comes from exceptionally
fine stock. But the scientific ration,
he said, makes possible her remark

forty pounds of corn silage, twelve
pounds of clover or alfalfa hay and
one pound of grain.

makes field labor increasingly di =
cult to obtain and at costs steadily
cending. It is the result of
viction, rather than of clearly
logically w6rked-out theory, that leg
lation in the farmer interest meets
prevail rather than objection.
Labor was granted special favor j
national legislation, but the sus
cion was present that politics, rath
than economics, was the influencin
factor. In the farmer case there
seems to be less of politics and more
of economies and there is an absence
of evidence that Congress was sub
iected to correction of the usual char
acter.
1t may be expected that the effect
feet of the new legislation will be to
increase the price of farm products;
far-seeing view must be that 1t is
destined to prevent still higher
otherwise why enact it? But the
prices and, by promotion of the
industry, guarantee the food upon
which the national life depends.-St.

Special Law for Farmers

With the knowledge that existing
conditions have imposed hardships
upon the farmer class which may be
catalogued, there is in addition a con-
viction that in general way the agri-
culturist is a special victim of condi-
lions and therefore subject for spe-
cial assistance Such conviction is
at the root of the passage of the Vol
stead bill legalizing farmer combina-
tions and the collective marketing and
sale of their own products. That it is
species of class legislation cannot be
questioned; but that it is legislation
justified by conditions in the argu-
ment which carried the measure thru
by an impressive majority.
Such legislation is the recognition
of the Importance of promoting the
general agricultural industry at what
is regarded as a critical period. The
farm is at the foundation of national
existance, to say nothing of national
prosperity. Our supply of foodstuffs
must be our first consideration Con-
ditions of late years have steadily
initiated against the farm and are
eliminating in situation which

Have "Fraud" and
SsTheft" Become Par
ty Principles

The Farnaer-Labor Party is legal
" organized political party, and have
nominated c. M. King of Pine River
as their candidate for Governor. In
the 1918 election with the help of
Mr.. Townley this political party cast
over III 900 votes in this State and
over 1900 votes in Redwood County
for Dave Evans its candidate for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. TownIey is now asking all who
voted for Dave Evans two years ago
to desert the Farmer Labor Candi-
date, fraudulently go into the Republi-
can primaries, swear they are republi-
/ cans, call for a republican ballot and
fraudulently vote the republican tick
ct.
The Primaries nominations, were by
/ law intended to take the place of the
party convention; and thereby give to
the voters of each political party a
fuller opportunity to make purely par
! ty nominations, whether Republican,
Democratic, Socialist or Farmer-La-
! Dor. So far as the law could guard
| it, the intent being that only demo-
Gratis were to vote democratic ballots,
republicans vote republican ballots and
Farmer Labor the farmer labor ballot.
Consequently the honest straight for
ward democrat would scorn calling for
| a republican ballot, and the fairmind-
ed republican would likewise hesitate
| going into a democratic primary, and
llcall for democratic ballot in order
| to thus commit fraud on the demo-
Gratis and thus dictate their nominees.
Mr.. Townley however has no such
conscientious scruples, even if it vio-
Iates and wrecks the primary law. He
is now asking all who voted for Dave
Evans two wears ago to commit both
perjury and fraud. He is asking them
to fraudulently invade the republican
| primaries, fraudulently swear they are
republicans if challenged, fraudulently
call for and vote republican ballots.
At every turn Mr.. Townley has
roundly denounced the republican
party and his followers have sympa-
thised with him. He has organised his
own Farmer Labor party with Mr..
King as it's candidate for Governor. If
he does not like the republican party
no one blames him if he organises his
own political party. This is his right
and his privilege, and his followers
should welcome an open and above
beard fair and square fight. But now
Mr.. Townley with base ingratitude de-
serts his political babe, and asks his
followers to commit wholesale perjury
and fraud. His boast is that he is
going to steal the republican organi-
cation, as if theft has become a party
principle. Since when has fraud and
theft become a cure for our country's
ills.
In the coming primary it will be in
teresting to note how many of his
followers are willing to throw politi-
cal honesty to the winds, and at his
bidding desert their own political par
ty on order to commit fraud on the
republicans.
The primary election law can only
be preserved if the judges of election
fully follow the law and do their full

duty in challenging election fully fol-
low the law-and do their full duty in
challenging every fraudulent vote pre-
sented. If the judges do their full
duty many of Mr.. Townleys followers
after for years denouncing the repub-
licans, after voting for their own can
didates, will hesitate to commit the
fraud Mr.. Townley has planned. 1t
will be found that thousands of nom
partisan leaguers are altogether to
honorable, and upright to desert their
own party in order to steal an organ
ization they loathe and hate.

claiming it masterpiece.
Not only this, but Comstock and
his successors have shown that
they do not even need to find a jury
which will agree with them. They
have repeatedly suppressed books
by merely threatening prosecu-
ton. 1t is the nuisance and ex-
pense of law suit, and still more,
the besmearing of their reputa-
tons which publisher and author
alike fear. '-
The viewpoint of the Comstocks
is simple, and one which no doubt
appeals to many Americans. 1t is
expressed in the title of one of
their pamphlets, which is labeled:
Morals, Not Art or Literature"
They take the view that no book
which could conceivably incite
anyone however young or feeble
minded, to think immoral thoughts,
or do immoral acts, should be al
lowed in print. They imply that
morals are all important and lit
erature of no importance at all
