purpose of this dairy school is to give
some information in regard to the
feeding and managing OF dairy herd.
This will not In any way duplicate the
work of the two men who have al
ready been at Montrose, but will sup
plement it, and in this connection 1t
might be well to help people to realize
that the work of the Farm Bureau is
to help with demonstrations to intro
duce economical methods that will
bring larger returns to the men who
are producing food.
At this dairy school talks will be
given upon thet food requirements Of
dairy cattle and how to use roughage,
and concentrates also the best method
of ventilating dairy barns and how to
keep the herd in good physical health.
If you have any form Of roughage
fodder, silage or alfalfa hay that you
would like to bring to the meeting,
do SO, or, If you have some question
about it be sure and bring it to the
meeting. This meeting will begin as

high wind were accompanied by fall

are that by tonight the thermometer
will have dropped to ten above zero.
This probably will be the limit Of the

weather is predicted to follow this
little spasm from the northwest.
The weather map this morning
shows some below zero temperatures
in the western area, but this high
pressure is forcing the storm across
the middle states at rapid rate. 1t
is believed that the storm reached
its zenith early this morning. Below

The Farmers and Other Organizations
BY r. r. Miner, County Agent

There seem to be an organized
Eeffort 70 associate the producers OF
food with any class that Is trying to
cover their shortcomings. Following
1.-THE close of the war the farmer was
considered as a profiteer caused by
the men who were making large
profits turning the attention of the
consumer towards the price that the
farmer was receiving for his pro-
ducts.
Not many months ago there was an
effort on the part of the meat packers
to form a committee with the farmers
and the results proved their efforts
were not to help with production.
For several days the papers were
filed with scare head lines telling
lof the packers and farmers uniting.
Then came call meeting of the
farmers and labor unions Following
these meetings the dailies had in big
letters Farmers and laboring men
meet to reduce the price OF food; /"
Farmers and laborers demand that
lment;" plans are being laid to re-
lduce the price of foods"
In all Of these newspaper reports

would give the reader the impression
that the farmers were trying to re-
Luce the cost OF the foods. That he
was actually cooperating with other
men to reduce his own commodity,
thus giving the reader the idea that
the farmer had been profteer1ng.
The producer of foods knows that
II he should charge for an eight
hour per day labor bill, overhead
charges, and 20 percent profit,
similar to manufacturers OF other
necessities. the foods would sell from
three to ten times the present price.
For example: Take the one article
used by every person, bread. II the
farmer donated the wheat to make
the bread, the ten cent loaves would
still have to sell for six and two
thirds cents per loaf.
The leather that makes the shoes
is very similar. The man who spends
perhaps two or three years growing

These stories led to others until
Chief Foley and Chief Hanton de-
Icided to take an inventory Of the
supply of superstition on hand
among the sailors in the rest room
waiting to be discharged.
James Arthur Chambers had an
exceptionally clever pig tattooed on
his instep.
There were at least a half dozen
men with butterflies tattooed on
their shoulders for luck, while not a
man waiting for his discharge was
not without one of the numerous
good luck charms that are for sale
at every port.

We might give numerous Other
examples, but this shows that it Ia
impossible for the farmer to reduce
1.-THE cost Of living very materially.
Perhaps we may find new nipple
lments to cultivate the soil that will
reduce the labor OF growing the crop,
but we will not cuase a bushel OF
wheat or a. bushel of corn to take
less elements from the soil and that
is where the consumers OF food will
always have to pay the bill. Unless
the producer can receive pay for his
crop SO he can replace his worn
machinery (the sdiD he must 60 out
OF business, and this is what is hap
Ipening.
We do not want to do anything to
cause class distinction, but when an
organization Of consumers begin to
boycott certain food commodities and
begin to force down the price below
the cost Of production the results
are likely TO be that the producer Of
that commodity will cease producing
$50 much and think that there is class
ldistinction. He may think that the

and at the same time ask for larger
