1871 AND 1921

\ comparison between what vic.
torious Germany eAacted Of France
in 1871 and what the allies are now
demandin. of Germany in defeat is
both pertinent and i!lnm;natig, in the
opinion Of some OF our editorial OBJ
servers. The indemnity paid by
France after the Ffanco-Prnssian
war was five billion francs, or one
billion dollars, and the Germans did
not retire until it was paid in full.
The present bill against Germany for
TIVE hundred twenty-siX billion gold
marks payable in forty-cwo years, eN-
rerts estimate, is equivalent to a
present cash payment OF tWenty-one
billion dollars-which is less than
the war-deht Of the United states
alone.

tho private buyers in most Of the
potato producing centers. This year
there will be fully $50 local associa-
tons Of growers in the exchange, ac-
cording to its officials, and from one
third to one-half Of the Minnesota
crop will be marketed through the
exchange.
That's how fast cooperative prof.
ects get under way in Minnesota.
Marketing problems in Powder
River county in the past have been
left to individual instead Of collec-
tive action and the results to be OBJ
tanned here through united or o-op-
erative action will be just as pro-
nounced as in Minnesota. Organiza-
ton of community clubs will be a
long step in this direction.

THE COMING TARIFF BATTLE

The falling prices OF farm prod
ucts are attributed by some of our
agricultural experts to the imports
of cheap products from foreign
lands, and If these could only lie
kept out by tariff wall, prices
would then be restored to a point
where the American farmer could
make profit. So argues the farm
err. What the consumer thinks Of
plan to restore higher prices, is OF
course, another question, and the ac-
ton of congress in passing a tariff
bill is not expected to end the mat
ter, as an old-time struggle for a
more permanent tariff seems likely
to be staged in all its fury by the
ers. but also manufacturers, are
showing an interest in protection
from cheap foreign products, and the
people who want lower taxes are
glancing at the tariff as source OF
revenue to make ta-reducti0n posi-
BILE. So making d tariff is a serious
business, as congress knows from
long experience, and as the Provi-
dence Journal 0nd.) now points out
in discussing the fOrney emergency
tariff bill. And the tariff game is
one that two can play at pointed
ly remarks the Springfield Republic
can. Ind.) as it hints at retaliation
Certainly it is no longer the local
issue" that it used to he called. as
we are reminded by the New York
Journal of Commerce. True. there
was a time, when government eA-
penses were a billion dollars a year
OR Whereabouts, that tariff revenues
were counted upon as an important
item, but now that our expenses have
jumped to more than four billions
for the next year, tariff evenues
are more like drop in the bucket,
thinks the New York Tribune CInd.-
Rep.), for lat most, the tariff can
not be expected to yield one-eighth
Of our national outlay. Besides,
adde The Tribune. the Fordney mea-
sure lis not intended primarily to
increase revenues, but to help some
domestic industries through trying
period of price adjustment"

COOPERATION

II you uOl appreciate now read
lily farmers may solve their own
marketing problems in large meas
l,re, visit to Minnesota will prove
instructive. There, in a state that
has been a pioneer in cooperative
enterprise, You will find the Mime
sofa Potato Exchange. Now, the po-
tato exchange is an infant as far is
age is concerned. but potentially it's
young giant, eloquent OF the new
found power OF the farmers through
organized effort. Pephaps ono group
OF farmers, to anticipate this story
somewhat, has been able to get such
far-reachins results in a short time.
And no new-fangled laws We're nee
essary.
Launched by a small group of
farmers in the winter and spring OF
1920, the Minnesota Potato Exchange
came into existence on the jump. 1t
had the pledges OF thirty local ship
ping associations OF potato growers
hot very pretentiOus number
and that was about all, except a con-
viction that the growers could save
money by Shipping and marketing
their own crops.
In six months seventy additional
local shipping associations Of potato
growers in all sections OF the state
had been organized and affiliated
with the central exchange. Five
thousand potato growers had pledS-
ed their crops 10 the new venture i'll
farmer marketing.
Meeting in Wadena, Mimi, July
IL to %, 1920, the growers perfect
ed permanent organization. and
when their crop vas almost ready
for the market, Went about the task
of setting up the machinery to mar
ket it. Just then, they We're not
very many JUMPS ahead OF the game.

ers, they employed. =. W. Aamodt.

That was on July 21. Aamodt took
the first train for Michigan. and
spent a week studying the system OF
the Michigan Potato Exchange.
Returning to Minneapolis. he OPP
ened state headquarters OF the en-
change there August !. And there
were few jumps to spare. One week
later, the first OF the Minnesota po-
tato crop, shipped and sold by the
producers, was going through the
exchange. And producer-marketed
potatoes have been going to market
i'll rapidly increasing volume ever
since in Minnesota
Early in January, more than ST.
100000 worth of potatoes had been
marketed through the exchange, and
officials of the new organization,
surveying the amounts pledged by
the local associations, estimated that
the years business OF the exchange
would reach $4,OUo,000--not bad
Fer the first season.
Approximately one-fourth Of the
Minnesota crop is being marketed
through the exchange. By January,
more than 1000 cars Of potatoes had
been sold through 1t, and thousands
of dollars had been saved to the
producers. Prices paid farmers were
ranging from 10 to 80 cents hun
bred pounds higher tnan private
shippers were paying, while there
was no way of estimating the extent
