GUN CLUB ENT1cEs THE DUCKS
asee Oakes First is Slogan of Local
Organization

With almost everybody spending
the winter in California, Florida and
other southern points, the Oakes Gun
club has decided to take no chances
on the ducks following suit.
Last week O. L. Anthony, H. N.
Williamson and Fred Sletvold went
down to Hyatt's lake south of Ludden
and planted q lot Of wild rice and other
vegetation which experience has prov
en- to be attractive to water fowl, in
order that the birds will stop there
while taking in the sights.
L. E. Reko and o. E. Rugtiv went
down to the James river the first Of
this week and set out about hundred
wild celery plants with the same OBJ
ject in view.
Our local nimrods do not intend to
be left behind without even feather
if little preseason work will pro-
duce results. We feel certain that
when the birds find out how much
trouble the boys have taken to make
things pleasant and home-like for
them on their annual trip through the
country they will have the Conductor"
allow them a months lay-over in this
section. After they've stayed a while
maybe they'll be like the rest of US
and refuse to be chased away under
any circumstances.

BUREAU HEAD SPEAKS PLAINLY
Howard Says Opponents Intend to
Fight Movement

President ]. r. Howard of the Am
erican Farm Bureau federation de-
clares that the raising Of quarter
million dollars by certain interests at
the recent meeting in Cincinnati is .
high complimented to the effective
ness Of organized agriculture's efforts
to vitalize cooperative marketing.
81 regard it as a special compli-
ment to the Farm Bureau movement
when the marketing interests which
have prospered 80 long at the farm
ers' expense. band together and raise
q war chest to fight US. I am in
formed that million will be raised
if necessary, to fight the cooperative
marketing Of grain. Presently, I
think the grain interests will come to
realize that even a million is not
enough Of slush fund to stop the de-
termined, debated farmers Of Amer
lea from marketing their own prod
ucts comparatively to the best inter-
ests OF. both producer and consumer.
Ours is an economic movement. It
has been steadily developing for dec
ades and tried time and again by. the
fires Of opposition. The Farm Bureau
has vitalized cooperative marketing
in America. Every producer is alive
to the Importance Of joining with his
neighbor to have something to say
about distributing what he grows. The
progress Of economic truth is not to
be turned aside by any slush fund or
war chest. The consuming public is
with the farmer, knowing that his CO.
operative marketing plans will result
in cheaper costs of distribution with
the resulting advantage to the buyer.
The grain interests, contributing to
the slush fund, would better save their
money. They will need it, because
they will have to quit taking it so
easily by merely standing between the
farmer and the consumer. Neverthe-
less it is a great compliment to the
whole farmers movement to see the
panicky efforts to stop it by raising
a slush fund of a quarter-million and
brazenly announcing that it will be
used to throttle the efforts of the
producers on whom they have lived
all these years."
