At the second annual meeting OF
the Minnesota State Farm Bureau
Federation held at St. Paul Novem-
Der 10Th and goth the following pro-
gram was drawn up by the 800 dele

Bureau Federation meeting and assist

WINNER, st. Cloud; Math Leppa,
Kimball; Gust Leverson, Brooten.
John Gretsch, Avon; P. j. Wester-
ard, Belgrade; C. L. Arnold, Wat
kins. The program adopted follows:
First-Distribution of Farm Pro
ducts.
1t is highly essential that more
economical and efficient system for
the distributor of agricultural pro-
ducts in Minnesota be devised to the
end that needless Intermediates be-
tween farm and consumer be elimin-
ated; that products be marketed in
quantity and under conditions which
will assure the greatest possible re-
turns to the producers. This i'm
plies:
(a) That the existing terminal ex-
changes in Minnesota which deal in
farm products and as yet have not
granted membership privileges to
frmers selling associations on equal
terms" with all other selling agen-
cies holding membership therin be
required to do so.
(b) That, in addition to the above
such terminal facilities to be provided
by cooperation of producers, either
within the state or at export points,
as the demands of the trade in farm
products require.
(c) Tha agriculture can only be
made permanent and profitable when
the producer. of food receives the
cost of production plus fair pro-
fit for his products, and therefore
the prices such producer receives
should have some relation to such
cost of production and the means to
accomplish this result should be pro-
vided by cooperation action.
I'D That to know accurately and
fully the cost production of food
stuffs, the necessary facilities for a
complete and accurate system Of &C
counting of the cash items going
into the production of food should
be had and provided.
Second-Reporting Marketing Con-
ditions.
The Importance of providing pro-
ducers in Minnesota with reliable and
prompt reports of the current market
conditions both in this state and at
all other important market points
is obvious and prompts the follow
ing announcements in relation there
to-:
(a) That the state make ample
provision for the reporting of cur
rent market quotations and supplies
of agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts. ~
(b) That suitable publicity be Civ
en- such market reports in order that
any shipper may easily and prompt
ly avail himself of such information.
(c) That reports of transportation
facilities, of railway rate and routes,
be made available to shippers.

SOME GOOD SPUDS

Amos and Art Radcliffe are harvest
ing on their farm northwest of town
what can easily be called bumper
potato crop. ! They started digging a
field of sixteen acres last week and
hauling to town by team and auto
truck, a crop that is going 800 crates
to the acre, They are experts in po-
tatoes and have the advantage ofpos-
sessing a farm composed of soil that
cannot be beat anywhere, but, never
theless, when potatoes are yielding
over three hundred bushels to the ac-
re, they are a paying crop even at the
price of this year..
Henry Schmidt, a neighboring
farmer finished digging a field last
week that also ran 800 bushels right
through.

WHEN MOTHERS SICK

There amt no comfort in the house,
upstairs or down,
The baby's always fretful, pas face
always wears frown;
We try to hold our grip on things,
but the gloom it settles thick
over all the whole creation,
When Mothers sick.
Don't anything go right at all, the
victuals don't taste sweet,
An if it's pie or puddin' we don't
relish what we eat;
The house is still and lonesome and
our joy just seems to stick
In the shadows Of our sorrow,
When Mothers sick
Seems like there amt no sunshine,
just clouds and clouds of gloom,
Til fellow almost wonders if it's
darker than the tomb;
An all the preachers preachin'
doesn't help us, not a lick,
For our faith it sort O. leaves
us,
When Mothers sick.
But when the doctor doesn't poke
his bald head in the door,
And when the neighbors don't inflict
their sympathy no more,
The sunshine SENS as bright as once
the clouds were thick.
And the air is full of music.
Mother isn't sick

COUNTY PROGRESS
SEEN IN AUTO TRIP
Western Part of Villas County
Shows Development Along
Many Lines-Trip Is
Worth While.

Last Friday, we were accorded an
opportunity of accompanying Alex
Higgins on a business trip across the
county which called for several stops
along the way. The first item of in
terest encountered was in going over
some Of the new federal highway un-
der construction by W. H. Bent, in the
vicinity of the Red Oak resort, Those
who have driven over much of the
Villas county highway system know
the kind of roads that Walter builds
and it was apparent that this will be
no exception to the rule after it be-
comes packed and settled, and will be
greatly appreciated by those who have
occasion to travel it.
Arriving at the resort of Edw Gabe
considerably past the noon hour and
inquiring what the prospects were to
get something to eat, Mr. and Mrs.
Gabe said if there was one thing they
enjoyed doing more than another, it
was serving late meals. Accordingly,
it was soon served, and from the va
riety and amount spread on the table
they were expecting a threshing crew
that afternoon. Mr. Gabe has made
improvements this year, consisting of
an electric light system throughout.
several new cottages, and the most
striking and elaborate one, is dance
pavilion and refreshment parlor that
compares with the best city affairs in
up-to-date furnishings and fittings, and
must add greatly to the pleasure Of
the sumner guests there.
A call was made at the Log Cabin
resort on Big St German and J. H.
Hunter and wife were found trying to
catch up on rest little after one of
the busiest seasons since they have
been in the business. A little later
they expect to spend the winter on q
vacation trip to get in trim for another
strenuous season next year.
The next evidence OF progressivenes
and change was seen in passing thru
Woodruff, where several new business
places were noticed, one of which is
the home of the bank that started in
tha village last spring The main
street has been graded ana cnrbsa
preparatoryNto laying roadway that
will be permanent and the town gem
orally, has an air of thrift and push
that is in keeping with the well de-
veloped farming country around it,
which by the way, lays largely in the
town of Arbor Vitae and Villas county.
John Hanson of that town and its
present chairman VINO has been farm
ing on large scale there since he
moved over from Eagle River few
years ago, has one of the best sets of
farm buildings in the county, consist
ing Of large farm house, built bun
galow style, and a barn of extra large
dimensions, though none too large to
house the big herd of cattle and work
horses noticed around the place. Both
are built Of cement blocks and add
much to the appearance of the whole
neighbcrhood.

1t has been said that The Youths
Companion has had more readers
per copy than any other publication in

has been it's unuttered slogan. In its
articles, editorial and otherwise, it
has dwelt upon the Importance Of good
citizenship. In all its contents it
has aimed to give not only entertain
ment, but stepping stones to higher
things"

REPORT WORLD CROPS
Heavy Increase In Every Crop
Except Potatoes and
Sugar Beets.

WASHINGTON Production figures
on the agricultural crops outside of
the United States, assembled by the
International Institute Of Agriculture
at Rome and given out by the United
States department of agriculture,
show greatly increased yields for 1920
in almost every division.
The 1920 wheat crop in countries of
the northern hemisphere, including
Bulgaria, Spain, British India, Fin
land, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada,
Guatemala, Nigeria, Egypt and Tnnis,
is 1,046,67O,00O bushels, or 101.6 per
cent Of five year average production
for the same countries, and 1874 per
cent of 1919 production.
Area now planted for the 1920-21
wheat crop in the southern hemi-
sphere, in Argentina, Australia and
South Africa is 28,384,O acres, which
is 1884 per cent of the crop area for
last year, and 1921 per cent Of five
year average.
Rye production in 1920 in the north
ern countries named amounted to 212,-
249, 900 bushels, 1898 per cent of the
five year average, and 1902 per cent
of the 1919 crop. Oats produced TIL
$4,000 bushels, 1928 per cent of the
five year average, and 1868 per cent
of 1919.
Potatoes and sugar beets were
smaller crops in 1920 than in 1919, for
a part of the area, but the production
was considerably greater than the five
year average.

IN CENSUS REPORT
Nations Census Complete and
Figures Are Explained as
to Increase and Drop
in Population.

The total population of continental
United States is 105,683,1O8, an in
crease of 13,71O,842, or 14.9 per cent.
The growth of the country's popula-
ton was not expected to show so
large relative increase during the
last decade as during the previous dec
ade, because of the almost complete
stoppage of immigration during the
World war and the heavy emigration
during that period.
In the decade ending with 1910 the
total population of the United States,
exclusive of its outlying possessions
was 91,972,266. During those ten
years the numerical increase was the
largest of any decade in its history,
while the rate of growth was 21.0 per
cent. The gain in that decade was
four times what the total population
of the country was in 1890, when the
first federal census was taken, while
the total population in 1910 was al
most % times larger than it was in
1890. z
With the outlying possessions, the
United States in 1910 had a population
of 1O1dl5, 487. These possessions in

Some excitement was created in
Eagle River Sunday afternoon when
four cars drew up at the Cook garage
to load up with gas, and it was learned
that one car belonged to Federal
Agent Grove, of Marquette, Mich and
that the others had been confiscated
as related above. One car, said to
have been the one driven by the man
who was killed, was bullet marked
enough to plainly impress upon the
densest of minds what it means to
resist government official authority
when it arrives at the scene of law
violation. This car contained evil
dence enough to last a hard drinker
a good many years and the others
were said to be equally well loaded
and the total sum of value represented
large fortune.
A dispatch in the Milwaukee Senti-
mel Tuesday stated that another man
was shot and killed at Mercer Mon
day in an encounter with the federal
agents, but the report has not been
further verified. Most of the Hurley
supply of whiskey is said to have
been coming from Milwaukee of late,
and automobiles were used as the
means of getting it to the ultimate
consumer"
According to all reports Hurley has
been a long time finding out that there
is drastic prohibition law in force in
the United States but with a few
more such object lessons as this to
point the way, it will not be long in
discovering that the U. S. laws are
something to be respected if not adj
mired.
