IF CLOVER KILLS
OUT THIS YEAR
IBy the County Agent


What if clover kills out this spring
and you should want to make some
cheap butterfat next winter out of
some homegrown feeds? What if
your clover killed out and the swamps
next August were all covered with
water and you couldn't cut any hay?
Would you sell your cows or try to
have them live along on poor feed such
as corn stalks, or would you do as
some farmers do III northern Wiscon-
sin and plant field of oats and peas,
which would make as good hay as com
mon clover and would yield from two
to four tons of hay to the acre. be-
lieve most farmers have thought about
planting field peas one time or another,
but this is the year TO act. For hay
purposes. plant early about one and
0nc-half bushels of peas and one and
one-fourth to one and one-half buShel
of oats on we'll drianed soil. Use Il
common drill, plant fairly deep, drag
down smooth after planting, and just
let nature grow you the best crop OF

MINNESoTA's COOPERATIVE PLAN.

The Herald invites attention to the series of
articles on the cooperative legislation of Minnesota
now running in it's columns. These articles have
been prepared as the result of a careful examination
7 OF recent legislation in Minnesota intended to facili-
| tate the work of cooperation in marketing by, the
farmers Of that state and after interviews with state
officials and other leaders with reference to the pro-
visions of the laws and the results which they are
/ expected to accomplish.
The purpose Of this study Of Minnesota legisla-
ton is not to urge upon the people OF North Dakota
legislation identical in detail, but rather to point
perience of Minnesota, of very effective and very
complete cooperation by the farmers in the mar
keting OF their own products without the revolution
tzing OF a state government or the adoption of So
/ ~cialistic policies.
The Minnesota Legislature has provided plans
i whereby the farmers of the state can organize for
the. marketing OF their own products and the pro-
motion of their common interests, carrying the co.
operative work as far as they wish, and Terminal
ing It when and where they thing best, with the
/ entire machinery always and everywhere in their
4 OWN hands, responsive, to their own purposes and
/ subject to their own control. Under that plan the
! farmers create their own local organizations, eom-
bine those organizations into larger and more gem
! eral organizations if they wish, and continuing that
policy as far as they deem prudent. They may, #
| they wish, retain possession Of their products until
those products reach the hands Of the consumer, or
they may terminate that control at any desired
j point.
The Minnesota plan is based on the conception
I that the farmers of the, state, having a common oe-
I eupation, have common interests which can best be
4 served by cooperation and coordination of effort
\ among those having like interests, WITHOUT the in
4 terterence Of outside control. The North Dakota
. socialistic plan is that of outside control by profess
! sional politicians over the vital interests of the

CARUSO.

Enrieo Caruse is dead. Doubtful as the public
has been OF the complete recovery of the great tenor
from the illness which came upon him last winter,
the news Of his death will shock the music loving
world for no intimation had been given. that a crisis
was Imminent. So suddenly. sometimes, is the bus
mess OF life brought to a close.
Caruso has been universally regarded as the
worlds greatest tenor. Accurate comparison of him
with other great artists Of the past is impossible,
because the others have left no concrete evidence Of
their %triumphs. In this respect music has occupied
2 peculiar field. The painters, the sculptors, the great
literary artists have left to us the visible results Of
their work by means Of which we may judge of their
quality. Music has been a thing of the immediate
present, and when the vibrations which it created
were stilled it was gone forever.
Caruso came upon the scene late enough to
share in one form the kind of immortality that is
by the great wielders Of the brush, the CHS
lei and the pen. The researches of science and the
refinement Of mechanical art have perpetuated his
voice in q manner unknown to his predecessors, and
generations hence will be able to judge what
manner of artist he was by listening to his own tones
Reproduced with extraordinary faithfulness.~
Caruso would have become famous without the
lphonogTaph. But the phonograph has multiplied his
audience by thousands, and have made him famil-
lar to MILLIONS who might never hope to hear him
i'm person. Without this aid Caruso might or might
not have received something like the adulation once
Ilavished on Patti and Jenny Lind, but without it
itranced by his tones would have known of them only
through meager and unsatisfactory descriptions.
It is impossible to measure the, service Of art
and the artist to humanity. According to its type
and quality it may provide entertainment, the occa-
sion Tor relaxation, solace in sorrow or glorious in
inspiration. CaaTuso was master Of every form Of vo-
|eal aTt, AAlHlest Hniracrlously endowed, he added to
his endowment the highest training that the world
|afferded and, at least among the singers Of his age,
he stpepd uiaequallied.

IMPROPER SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

The pure food law prohibits the interstate trans
portation OF adulterated food articles. It lays down
certain principles which are to govern in deterrnin-
ing whether or not q given article is adulterated. 1t
provides for the creation Of a body whose duty it is
to apply those principles to commodities which are
being marketed and to attend to the enforcement Of
the law. This board3o or commission necessarily has.
large discretionary powers, and the individual citi-
'zen,is protected against the abuse Of those powers
by his right to appealt to the courts.
Such an arrangement is logical and sensible 1T
lis in accord with the preeedents established by the
trainers Of the federal constitution when they lard,
down broad general principles and left to the several
branches OF the government the duty OF, applying
Ithose principles to the needs Of the day. The consti-
tuition declares, for instance, that no person may be
deprived Of his property without due process Of law.
II does not undertake to specify what particular acts
|areto be considered violations Of this principle. That
lis to be determined from time 70 time as each issue
arises.
Ever since the pure food law was enacted eff
forts have been made to reduce it to a bill of partic-
|ulars by applying it's general prohibitions to specific
ARTICLES. This means the perversion of the law from
providing artificial faipalS benefits e Risyf for Special interests te es's' on IN
la basis into which the element of fraud does not en-
ter. The effort made under the cloak Of that laws
prestige is to enlarge the market for particular COM
I%modities.
Examples Of this tendency are found in the bills
now pending in congress the purpose of which is to
place the ban OF adulteration on milk which contains
any fat other than butter fat, and thereby to bar such
milk compounds from interstate commerce. If this
|is done, the person who thinks his personal interest
lattected by the marketing of any other product COM
pounded from various ingredients may with equal
|propriety ask that similar action may be taken inaais
case, and the result will be that instead of useful
and workable law of vast benefit-to the public we
shall have a mass of undigested and indigestible de-
tails whose sole purpose is the promotion of the in

In the hearings before the house committee on

Mle1cn seemed to have some difficulty in conyine-
ing members Of congress Of certain facts which
ought to be familiar to all who have even the most

these.is the fact that the functions Of the farm loan

that the two cannot be combined without confusion.
The proposal under immediate consideration
was that OF diverting to the use of the land banks

with additional funds out Of which to make loans

established, and the proposal were to establish them
As has been done, with their bonds free from taxa
zion, he would oppose the plan, as he did not regard
that policy as sound. Nevertheless, he advocated
the %extenslen proposed in the bill on the ground
that the banks had actually been established in pur-
function in q particular manner, which they were
unable to do because Of lack of sufficient funds. He
was in favor of making the necessary advance in or

original purpose.
