approximately 500 pedigreed bulls,
which in the normal course of agri-
cultural development would now be
the basis of new pure bred herds in
the northwest, remain in the hands
of members of the Minnesota Here
ford Breeders association because
farmers of the northwest lack the
funds to buy. This statemen is
vouched for by J. S. Jones, secretary
of the association.
SUGGESTED REMEDIES
Under the subjects heretofore out
lined, we respectfully suggest for the
consideration of the committee GER
tain remedies which we believe absol-
utely vital to agriculture, through
vigorous unified action of all
branches of the federal government
properly concerned.
A-Finance-Cred facilities must
be adjusted to the needs of agricu1-
tural production and distribution.
The 80 to 80 day loan suited to
ordinary commercial and Industrial
enterprise is not equally adapted to
the needs Of agriculture; it puts the

Shocks $50 Acres in 8 Days

Elbow Lake Herald-Carl Meyer
claims he is the champion shocker
of Minnesota. He started work Friday
morning, July Is, for T. c. Mobraa-
ten, five miles west of Elbow Lake.
Two binders were cutting in the
field, and about ten acres of grain had
been cut when Mr.. Meyer started
! work. He shocked the last of $50
acres Monday afternoon at 1855
o'clock. He was idle about half day
because of rain so the actual time of
shocking was about eight days. At
the end of the run, Mr.. Meyer had
caught up with the two binders.
Meyer shocks with fork. He said
it is harder, but faster. He not only
makes claim to speed, but defies any
! one to put up shocks better than his.
The grain shocked on Friday and Sat
urday before the big storm all stood.
Some of the straw was very heavy
and the fields averaged about the
normal amount of straw.
A good shocker is expected to keep
up with one binder. Meyer caught
up to two binders after they had q
start of about ten acres. Is there
anyone ready to dispute his claim as
the champion shocker of Minnesota?

COUNTY AGENTS HOLD
MEETING AT GLENWOOD
Agents From Fifteen Counties Hold
Convention To Plan Work And
Consider Marketing Projects

Allen w. Edison, county agent at
tended a convention of county agents
from fifteen counties bordering on the
west central district of the state at
Glenwood on Monday and Tuesday
of this week. The purpose of the
gathering was to plan definite pro-
gram of work for fall and winter.
Especial attention was given to the
poultry industry and to the three
outstanding marketing projects, the
Minnesota Cooperative Creamery AS
sociation, the Central Cooperative
Commission Company operating in
South St. Paul and the U. S. Grain
Growers Incorporated.
The Central Cooperative Commits

the best salesman according to Joe
Montgomery, field man of the COM
pany. Enough shipping associations
have already signed up with the Cen
tral Cooperative Commission Com
pany to cover IS per cent of the stock
shipped to st. Paul from Minnesota.
The Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cry Association plans to form district
units which will save thru co-opera-
tive shipping, 40 per cent on every
100 pounds of butter shipped accord
ing estimates made from experience
in Meeker county.
Mr.. Edison has procured the SER
vices of N. E. Chapman in Stevens
county, September 16 and II to con-
duct a poultry culling school, the OBJ
iect of which is to teach at least a
few people from every township in
the county to Gull their own focks.
Mr.. Edison said that any farmer or
woman from farm can gain suf-
fcient knowledge of poultry culling
in one day at such schools as Mr..
Chapman conducts to make it unne-
cessary to hffe professional cullers
to do the work at Sc a head as some
counties are doing.

MORRIS INDEPENDENTS
DEFEATED AT HANCOCK
In Fast Eleven Inning Game: Cub
Thinks Umpire Both Blind
And Deaf.

The Morris Independents with
about three hundred fans journeyed
down to Hancock Sunday to play the
fast aggregation of that little town.
The game was fast and furious. 1t
took eleven innings to win it. But
tell was on the mound for Morris,
and pitched A / ball all through the
game, holding Hancock to few
scratch hits and striking out practi-
cally every batter on the Hancock
team.
Willie of local fame also did good
work for Hancock getting his usual
number of strike outs and allowing
very few hits. But that is not ali,
Hancock had the best of it all the
way thru even on the Jumps" The
umpire could neither see nor hear.
Here's how it happened. The first
score made by Hancock was made
from a sacrifice fly. The runner on
third got half way home when the
field caught the fly. Of course Mr..
Umps couldn't see that, but the
crowd did. That was the first score.
Here's how they got the last score,
(Which they needed the worst way,
as understand they hate to lose a
baseball game down in that town.
With a man on third and second, a
/ Hancock batter was hit by pitched
ball, the ball going back of the catch
er and the runner on third scoring
and winning the game or rather
stealing it.
They say Mr.. Umps is running fol
mayor of Hancock, and as usual was
working for votes.
Here's To The Umps.
We journeyed over to Hancock
To win a game at ball,
We took nine good men with us
To win we though twas all.
But we found upon arriving
In the little town down east
That it took ten men to win
This furious game at least.
And now that this game is over.
And we'll forgive him for the pas
But just remember dear old "Umps'
We've got your Number at last.

from Butte, Montana tipped over on a

he died. His remains arrived in Nor
ris yesterday morning.
The funeral will be held at 900
o'clock thiss morning from Assump-
tion church. Burial will be in CAL

MONTHLY REPORT OF
STEVENS COUNTY NURSE
Health Survey and Demonstration
Lectures in Towns of County Make
Up Work for July

The first two weeks of July were
the county. The township was used
as the working unit, and an attempt
was made to visit each home in the
township to determine the general
health Of the community; to tell the
people about the Heart and Chest
clinic to be held later in the fall, urg-
ing any one to attend that has not
fully recovered from the effects of the
Flu or who are at all worried about
their heart or lungs; to tell the wo-
men about the Demonstration Lee
lures (held the last three weeks Of
the monthly and to gather informa-
ton for the clinic in the fall. It
is an almost impossible task to
accomplish all this in two weeks, but
in connection with the other work of
the month 80 homes were visited. AS
soon as the nurse returns this work
will be continued. i
The extreme heat, unusually early
harvest and now threshing all COM
bined to make the Demonstration Lee
lures poorly attended. Some Of the
towns turned out a few for each
lecture and it is believed that those
attending we're well satisfied, but one
or two towns seemingly forgot about
the lectures and consequently missed
an opportunity of getting some use
full and practical knowledge of Bed
side Nursing, First Aid and Child
Care. An afternoon was spent in
each of the towns in the county in
order that everyone wishing to might
have an opportunity to attend.
Stevens County has gone another
step forward in the march Of progress
and is TO be commended On the far.

to appropriate sufficient funds to con-
tinue this nursing service another
year. In work of this kind it is i'm
possible to show enough definite
results in one year to satisfy all the
people that the work is good, but
given a fair chance not a tax payer in
the county will regret the money
thus spent.
The month of August will be vaca-
ton time for the nurse. On her re-
turn the work of the Health Survey,
the County Fair and the Heart and
Chest clinic will be taken up.

SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

The specific problems In which the
farmers of Minnesota are most Wit
ally concerned are problems of agri-
cultural financing, transportation,
foreign competition, effecient market
ing. and taxation. The first four of
these fall under the broad head of dis
tribution. None involve production; !;
although production itself may be-
come seriously involved if proper
remedies for existing conditions are
not found and applied.
The American farmer is an efficient
producer. But unless, through his
own efforts and through proper and
necessary legislative assistance, he
can make the marketing of his pro-
ducts yield a return commensurate
with the actual cost of efficient pro-
duction, he cannot long remain an
efficient producer.
If the farmer must borrow money
in increasing amount and at relativ-
ly high rates of interest in order tc
make an inadequate income balance
the actual cost of production and liv'
ing, he will be compelled to curtai
operations, to operate with less CAPT
tai, to use less help and buy less
equipment. The inevitable result oi
such a process is less efficient produc
tion. The consumer as we'll as thu
producer will be the sufferer.
AS an example of the effect Of thu
present situation on the development
of agriculture, we cite the fact tina

FOOD PRODUCTION In
DANGER, Is WARNING
Inadequate Credit, Unfair Deflation
High Freights Declared Running
Farmers
MINNESOTA Farm BUREAU
FEDERATION NEWS SERVICE
BY NEIL H. SWANSON
EIs4o

St. Paul, July 3O-Congress must
act Immediately to give farmers relief
from high freight rates, inadequate
credit, foreign competition and in
efficient marketing if it expects to
restore nationwide prosperity. That
is the warning sent to Washington
today by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation. 1t accompanied a detailed
summary of the agricultural problems
of the state, supported by evidence of
specific injuries suffered by the pro-
ducers as a result of a present econ.
omic conditions.
The complete statement follows:
The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, after long study of the condi-
tions confronting the farmers of the
northwest, has prepared statement
of it's views on the situation. This
statement it respectfully offers to you
as chairman of the joint committee
of the house and senate, to inquire
into agricultural conditions and sug-
gest remedies, in the hope that it may
be of some assistance to your COM
mittee in it's investigation, and may
help you in obtaining remedies now
urgently needed.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton is made up of $4,000 farmers,
one half of the agricultural producers
of the state. These $4,000 farmers
| of f.
ely a quarter of a billion dollars. We
know that the statements to follow
express their unanimous opinion OF
the present difficult situation con-
fronting agriculture.
Any statement setting forth the
general situation must apply with
equal force to virtually all farming
communities. Violent deflation has
forced the market value of the farm
er's crops below the actual cost OF
production in many instances. Sc
= drastic has been the process of della
ton that although the total produc-
ton of Minnesota's ten principa
crops in 1920 exceeded 1919 produc'
ton by II per cent, the 1920 crops
we're worth $194,428,OOO less thar
those of ten crops in 1919. These
figures are based on statistics of the
bureau of crop estimates of thu
, United States department of agricul
ture.
This violent deflation has brOugh
agriculture into it's present desper
ate situation because the process o
deflation has not operated so quiekl!
4 nor so effectively on those commod
tiles which the farmer must buy will
his deprecated dollar. Farm pro
, ducts in May, 1921 had fallen in mar
ket value to within II per cent o
their average for 1913. Wholesal
prices for all commodities in Ma
= were still higher 81 per cent tha
= the 1913 average. These figures ar
from statistics compiled by the fed
. eral bureau of labor statistics.
Commerce and industry are so dc
pendent on the farmers normal pun
chasing power that restoration c
2 that purchasing power is absolutel
|, essential to bring the whole economi
fabric of the United States back
n normalcy.

WOULD DEpoRT LORD MAYOR
Britain Will Not Molest De Valera
Until He Shows His Hand

Deportation of Donal O'Callaghan,
lord mayor Of Cork, who arrived at
Newport News last week as stow
away, has been requested of the de-
partment of labor by Acting Secretary
Davis of the state department.
Mr.. Davis request was in writing.
He quoted as his authority for acting,
the proclamation issued by President
Wilson on Aug. 8, 1918, designating
the secretary of state as the one who
shall decide whether an alien coming
under passport regulations should be
admitted or denied admission to the
country.
The legal right of the state depart
ment to issue an order of deportation
for the lord mayor will be contested
in the courts if necessary, according
to an announcement by his counsel.
Advices from London state that ap-
parent immunity for De Valera will
continue as long as he maintains 81
lence and does not participate in the
affairs of the extreme nationalists.
At the same time the government
is somewhat perplexed as to the best
course to pursue with regard to the
returned president of the Irish re-
public" and virtually has decided to
await the voluntary showing by De
Valera of his own hand before COM
ing to a determination with regard to
his disposition.
The government has not officially
admitted knowledge of De Valera's
presence in Ireland, because that ad.
mission would raise the question why
he had not been apprehended.
