prepared by the United States Depart

Many turkeys are raised in Texas,
as well as a considerable number In
Mississippi and Alabama and in west
ern Florida. AS a general proposition
these birds are raised in small tiocks
on general farms, where plenty OF
range is available. Under such condf-
lions they usually yield a profitable
income. Not many ducks are raised
in the South, but considerable interest
is displayed in geese production, while
guineas also are raised on many farms.
Guinea eggs are used on the home
table, as well as being marketed, but
as rule the guineas are allowed to
run wild and are not produced on any
scale for market purposes.

chickens are kept, and by far the

One thing that the, farmer and city
worker must keep uppermost IN his
mind regarding the general election
next Tuesday is to get his women
folks to cast their ballots. The "old
parties" are leaving no stone unturned
in their frantic attempt to defeat the
common people and have been busy
organizing women's clubs all over the
state in vain hope of salvaglng the
steel trust candidates from next Tues
days landslide. The only way to
successfully counteract these activities
is to see that the wives and daughters
of the farmers and working men, as
we'll as all of their kinsfolk among the
gentle sex will go to t. he polls and cast
their votes for the peoples candidates.

for erroneous statements, but When'
as in the case of the visit of the steel
trust candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor in New Ulm last

WHERE 500, 900, 900 WENT.

Answering a correspondent who
asked if there had ever been any
accounting of the s100,OO0,00O which
congress gave the president as pocket
change to spend during the war,
the Albany Knickerbocker-Pre very
properly points out that when the
PRESIDENT asked for the money he
expressly stipulated that he should
not be called upon to render any
account Of how it was spent. Mr..
Wilson felt and said that it might
be embarrassing for him to be so
called upon.
This is now quite understandable.
But our Albany neighbor reminds
its correspondent, and the rest OF
US, of certain items supposedly
met from the little hundred-million-
dollar "chicken-feed" benevolence.
There was, to begin with, the grand
European joy ride which has kept

George Washington had to be prac-
tically remodeled to carry our rowing

ye9ry large and Very expensive or
chestra to- furnish music for the
chief and the swarming hordes OF
beneficiaries on the eleemosynary
floating palace during it's voyage to
make the world safe for democracy.
Of these there were, some l,40O,
including soc;ologists, astronomers,
cartograpnists, historiographers, bio
logists, photogra piers, financlers,
favorite "run-alongs," to say nothing
of tie innumerable throngs OF private
secretaries, secretaries to private sec
retaries, clerks, stenographers and
SO on, together with their sisters,
their cousins and their aunts galore.
And everybody on high salary and
all expenses paid. AS for automo-
biles, there was a whole snip-load
OF item and the supply scant enough
at that, fer the Paris people could
hardly hire taxicab in the city, SO
many Of them were in use by the
swarming hordes of the White House
Court suite. ~
We don't know whether Mr..
Wilson paid for all this and the rent
of an entire Paris hotel, with an in
cidental bill of million dollars for
damages, out of his hundred million
dollar slush fund or not. If he did

and if he paid out Of it also tie
cost of the royal progresses through
all the accessible capitals Of Europe,
that alone must have eaten appre-
ciably into the demnition total Of
the fund. Our recollection, however,
is that a special appropriation of
$5,0O0,000 was made to cover these
expenditures. ..
And then there we're the three

AneNt The Tures.

While we are aware of the fact that
the question of taxes in Minnesota and
North Dakota is, practically speaking,
a dead" issue during the present
political campaign, still it may not be
amiss to present to our readers for their
careful consideration a comparative
statement of official figures, secured
from the office of State Tax Commls-
sioner George E. Wallace of North
Dakota and from the office OF State
Auditor j. A. 0. Preus of Minnesota.
To begin with, the state taxes in
Minnesota for 1918 and 1919 were
$6,1O7, O06 and $14,400,743, respective
ly, an increase Of S8,293,737 or 1856
per cent for 1919. The North Da ota,
taxes in 1918 amounted to $1,000, 155
and in 1919 to $3,676,039, an increase
Of $1,9S5,884 or III per cent for 1919.
The matter of per capita state taxes
is also an interesting phase and one that
will bear looking into. Taking the
total Minnesota state taxes for 1919
($14,4OO,748) and the U. S. census
estimate of population for the same
year, which is 2,3?8,128, shows per
capita state tax of $6.05 in our state.
This as compared to a per capita tax
Of $449 in North Dakota with its
total taxes aggregating $3,676,039 and
a population estimated at SIT 1854 by
the u. S. census in 1919.
Approaching the subject ON a
different angle, the state taxes per
quarter section of land amount to
$ze.25 in Minnesota, as against 5000
in North Dakota. This comparison
should prove some what interesting to
our farmer friends.
Lest someone might accu Sc us of
telling only the half Of the story, we
will now present figures shcwng a
comparative statement of the total
taxes in the two states under con-
ideration-state and local taxes
together with the total tax per capita
amount and the total tax per quarter
section of land Here they are:
The total taxes-state and Iocal-ir
Minnesota for 1919 aggregate $780,
5O4,24e.34, making a per capita tar
of $46 and total tax per quarter
section of land of 1888. The com:
parative figures for North Dakota are
as follows: Total taxes, 1858 1904,
so; per capita total taxes, ,$s6, anc
total taxes per quarter section of land
$50.
The above figures are for 1919 taxes
Iayable in 1920, and are, TIE --latest
complete figures available for com
parison. The 1920 North Dakota
state taxes, payable in 1921, are
greatly reduced. The general state
tax levy for 1920 has been fixed a
1.15 mills, as compared with 1.9t
mills for 1919, making reduction o
40 per cent. Besides levying for The

The North Dakota tax exemptions
are very liberal, all farm improve
ments being tax free. In addition,
farm machinery up to $1,000, city
homes up to $1,000, workers tools
up to $500 and personal property up
to $3CO are exempt from all taxation.

Good news has just bten given out
to the farmers OF Minnesota by the
State Tax Commission and it contains
the information that the tillers of the
soil will have to dig down deeper in
their pockets and "come across with
more coin of the realm in the nature Of
taxes. The increases in personal
property taxes provide a 10 per cent
boost on automobiles, IS per cent in
crease on stations, 10 per cent adj
dition on sheep and 40 per cent
skyrocketing on hogs. One Of the con-
selling features of these increases is
the fact that the iron ore tax seems to
have escape d the upward trend in
