The Morris Tribune:
We have seen what the Mail Bag
has brought October s, a good shak-
ing up, but Mr.. Jacobson's and Ora
hams letter I'm going to pass up.
AS that is merely songs of praise that
that they prove their claims with the
farm bureau. If that society gives
this admission doesn't recommend
the farm bureau well. For a farm
ers' organization who can endure to
see its members pleased.
In regard to the Esch-Cummins
law, the farmer is the one who feels
the pinch most, he is contributing to
1t both ways in buying and selling.
The business man adds a little to his
ware in selling and then he comes
out alright. It only affects him
when the farmers buying power is
impaired or when the other fellows
pocket book is empty, your can't dis
pute that. But your organization
was not started by the farmers,
that's the reason for not taking any
interest in their welfare
Mr.. Schlegel takes pride in the
anti-future bill passedSand supported
by Mr.. Dorweiler. But what use Is
it in giving with one hand, and tax
ing 1t back with another. A law de-
| claring in one paragraph trading in
futures is gambling and taking it all
back the second paragraph.
Amendments had shorn it of all it's
effectiveness, it's authors admitting
that it was useless. A law passed
permitting organization of central
cooperative farmers selling agencies.
Another amendment took away
/ the right of farmers to organize CO.
operative banks to finance their mar
keting association. This last bill
Mr.. Dorweiler also was along in
choking to death. AS to Mr.. Spoon
er's stand on tonnage tax. I don't
know, but hope he will consider it
in the interest of us poor fellows out
here.
! We find it so hard to meet our
taxes, but his activity in legislation
in the past is we'll known, his revela-
ton of the reckless way the states
funds were handled. AS to one time
the drainage board demanding $3.50
| 900 to enable it to carry on it's work;
by his discovery the board had in
it's hand then an unexpended balance
Of 100000, for his work, for water
power, and railroad legislation.
Through his effort we are keeping
the harvest trust in the distance.
He has a big heart for the ladies,
wives and mothers; the mothers day
we are celebrating reveals the mans
character M. Anderson.
Objects To Single Purpose Cows
Rt 5. Morris, Oct. 16, 1922
To The Morris Tribune,
Dear Editor.
I just wish to say a few words on
what the bankers and county agent
! did for the farmers in bringing in
two car loads of single purpose cows.
They are right about it; we farmers
have all too few cows. There should
be at least rs cows and 25 calves
on every quarter section but why
: bring in single purpose cattle of
any kind. Would it not be better
to get them and help them to keep
and raise the calves they are now
sending to slaughter and sing, IT
have a calf that will soon be a cow"
It's the bull that's the indicator
on where we are heading for with
our cattle. If the cows in Stevens
county are not good enough, it's bulls
we need. Cows will never get us
anywhere without good bulls. There
are more good bulls in the county
than buyers. Why did not you
bankers and county agent put on
bull sale of different breeds. Forty
good bulls would make some mark.
