Cong. Sinclair has introduced a bill

viding for the fixing of price on

considerable merit to Cong. Sinclairs
bill and it may be the means of re-
establishing farming on paying
basis.-Glenburn Advance.

proved to be so highly profitable that
the slogan in that locality is 400
marketable turkeys from every farm

The state tax commissioner will send
out state income tax blanks shortly
after the first of the year and he re-
ports must be in not later than March
Is. Blanks will be sent to all banks
and county auditors in the state for
distribution. Failure to receive blank
will not relieve tax payers from max
ing report. There is considerable
difference in the state and federal in
come tax laws, but the various
schedules on the state blank cor
responds very closely with the federal

According to the large number OF
stills which have been confiscated
abount the state, and the thousands
that are still in operation, prohibition
is not a bowling success. Where one
still is put out of business, a half
dozen take its place. Just common
wash boiler or a cream can, few
feet Of copper coil, few simple
twists of thet wrist and hocus pocus,
your still is ready for business. The
writer was recently informed that
six quarts of very good home spun was
made at a cost not to exceed three dol
lars.
Joel Salmonson is here for the
Christmas holidays. Recently he
went from Des Lacs to Indiana with
three cars of potatoes which Des
Lacs farmer shipped. He secured
$1.50 bushel for his potatoes in
Indiana and Joe says the market is
very good for spuds in the Hoosier
state but money is too scarce to per-
be if there was plenty of money. A
bushel Of potatoes brings as much
as six bushels of corn, which is the
staple crop of the Indiana farmer.
The Des Lacs farmers have found
that shipping potatoes to commission
houses is very neutrality-suspicious.
