Why Don't Farmers Strike

Editorial by Tergixerous Tim in the Mortified News
When the farmer in from his daily toll and
himself down in his old chair and lights his
cob pipe that is full of Od Tom pride of the
Cabbage Patch" and picks up daily paper reads
Miners Strike printers Strike" Railway
Voting to Walk OUT he wonders what is aling
fellows who working eight hours day for twice
much pay he is receiving for fourteen hours
he puts his paper away and goes to bed and gets
up the morning at five just usual and while the
eight hour fellow is still slumbering, he wends his
out to the field to put in another long day.
Has he. ever had it in his head to strike?-no
never he plods and while others specializing
his crops will be and how much they will make
of efforts of his toll He works and works that
the city may have enough for the winters
supply Prices may be low, yes, low that he does
receive half the compensation of the artisan
in town but does he stop and throw the sponge? No.
But why shouldn't he strike? Why should he be
satisfied half loaf while others getting full
one? Just what would happen should he and his fellow
farmers get their hind legs morning until
say: We'll stop producing until get living
better yet saving wage" Would not the wheels of
industry stop turning their axes and would not the
people of all cities begin to suffer untold misery and
want? Why don't some of the fellows who clamor
ing eight hours and pay consider the hours
of the farmer and the part he playing to right things
up gone wrong and take their medicine from
the spoon that he is drinking from?
What would the price of bread be if the farmer went
eight hour shift tomorrow? What would the
price of milk and butter be if the farmer
eight shift and had keep two to for
his cattle at regular hours?
And yet some folks would have us believe that a
proposition is the that farmers should
tie Wouldn't that make beautiful spectacle for
double team? Mr.. Farmer all harnessed up with Mr..
LabOrer. When nOOntime the driver snapped the
whip Mr.. Farmer would still be the team and beside
him would fresh horse in the shape eight
to trot the next half day. How long would Mr..
farmer stand hitched like this?

THE WHEAT FIELD

Here's pretty thought put into words by the editor
of the Marshalltown Iowa) Republican:
Harvest time. The wheat turning golden, the hay
in swaths The end of annual mystery of growth.
Not the end. No the end than beginning.
The miracle shall reproduce itself next season.
Growth is unending. Life does not die. The rip
ened grain harvester gathers to shelter shall
be sowed again. spring green with the spring and again
turn yellow reaped and garnered 1t is unendlng Lie
does not sleeps for time to awaken in its time
The mystery ripened Seed it's resurrection to
again active fe is naturally the symbol OF hu
man growth rpening and resurrection. If a grain or
wheat shall the active principle of life to be
sown and spring, and ripen and be reaped again. so
shall the seed Sewer planted rise again in the
spring of a resurrection.
The materialists denial of a resurrection finds its
answer in the noddng wheat awaiting the and
the garnerng the year. Every tiny seed re-
plies to say that immortal, that death is but the
interim between the harvest and sowing time between
the fall and the resurrection of the
spring.
Confident the sower spread the seeding wheat across
the fields last spring. faith he awaited the green
shoots that kept the promise of the Trustfuy
he watched it wave the winds of Gratefully
he reaped and garnered his harvest Behind all his labor
and hope the faith that has it's foundation in
the mighty purposes of the universe
So somewhere, the Master Sewer, scattering life
from His hands, not for the moment, but forever, to
spring grow and he reaped, and again renew itself
as the wheat in the springtime of the resurrection
The wheat field is pledge promise. From the
tiny blades grass the mghtiest tree sending its
branches heavenward the pledge and promise OF
the resurrection 1t cannot fail.

ROWS OF CORN TO
KEEP E ! / RllADS OPEN
Highway Official Points Practical
Way for Farmers to Serve Own
and Public Interests

Every farmer in Minnesota can help
Materially to keep the roads open next
winter by noting present conditions
and then planting corn in the spring
to serve snow fence purposes.
Charles NJ. Babcock. state highway
commissioner, is. recomm ending this
plan after being convinced that it
gets. results. w. F.. Rosenwald, state
highway maintenance engineer, gave
the details:
Farmers should now take special
notice Of places where the roads fill
with snow drifts. Next season eight
or ten rows of corn should be planted
to the, north Or west--about so to leo
feet back from the road and the en-
tire length of, the stretches which drift
full Of snow. The corn roWs..if left
standing, will act as snow fences, and
effectualiy keep the roads open. The
success Of the plan is being demon
strated this winter in several local
tiles in the state. : IA: ;..$, &C.
= The highway engineer said that gen
eral adoption Of the corn rows for
snoWfences will get results. which can
be maintained at no great expense un-
der winter snow clearing operations
The statement followed numerous ex-
periments with heavy machinery to
pillow snow drifts from the roads in diff
ferent parts OF the state. -
Commissioner. Babcock said that the
principle, demand for snow removal
comes from operators Of comm ercial
passenger bus and freight truck lines.
The cost is SO great, he added that
al extensive snow removal campaign
would leave no money for highway
work during the regular, heavy-traffic
season. -" 49,

replied 81 don't think So
The discussion waxed quite warm,
most Of the speakers agreeing that
the city needed other improvements
such as modern schools, with shower
paths, etc., ana that the city was bur
dened with paving, etc., without add
ing the expense Of the upkeep Of this
armory. Some Of the speakers claim
ed that cities who have these armories
do not want them.
