3 PLOTS OF REAL
ESTATE YET TO
BEPURCHASED

The purchase Of all but three pieces Of
real estate comprising the north block
OF the war memorial plaza site was com
pleted today as one Of the last acts of the
outgoing Jewett administration. The
three remaining properties were not pur-
chased because in one case the owner is
in California in another a stockholders
meeting must be held before the deal
can be completed and in the third there
was not sufficient time to close the deal.
The city paid a total of S949. $3.50 for
the properties purchased. In each case
the price fixed by the city's appraiser
was paid. The purchases were completed
by the board of public works and Samuel
Ashby, city corporation counsel
Following the completion of the pur-
chases Mayor Charles W Jewett made a
statement in which he thanked every one
who had assisted in the plaza project and
declared he believed the purchase Of the
property was the outstanding act Of his
administration.
The following property was pur,
chased:
Mrs. Elizabeth New, property in Penn
sylvania street, $4,000.
Mrs. Laura I Hodges, property in
Pennsylvania street, $4,000.
William a. Guthrie, property in Penn
sylyania street, $4,000
City Investment Company, S60.500.
Volney T. Malott estate, property at
Meridian and North streets, S1S3.37J.

James A. and Lila Taylor, three pieces,
$1,000, S21, 625 and S37 ~. 80
Mary Weiss, property in Michigan
street. $37, 292.5O

was the indianapolis Propylaeum, which
is a corporation and sale requires a stock
holders meeting; the Mrs. Alice D Dis
settle property, because Mrs Dissette is
in California, and the Atlas Investment
Company property.

Work of County Agents.

A total of 1,OO1,O 900 persons were
served in various ways during 1921
by county agents and other farm bu-
reau and agricultural extension SER
vice workers of the University of Min
nesota, according to the annual report
of Frank E. Balmer, University farm,
state county agent leader.
Membership in county farm bureaus
has grown as follows: 26,136 in 1918,
3O,156 in 1919, 1920 in 1920, $4,000
in 1921. Of 70 counties IS have adopt
ed the continuous IS a year family
membership plan.
Important service was rendered in
supplying improved seed to farmers.
Improved seed corn was secured by
729 cooperating farmers in a. coun-
ties, amounting to 12,701 bushels, i'm
proved seed wheat by 697 farmers, in
volving 20,934 bushels in 43 counties;
improved seed oats by PIG farmers, in
volving 5,498 bushels in rs Counties
and improved seed potatoes by 1915
farmers, involving 33,875 bushels in
40 counties.
Although the cost Of the county
agricultural agent service, as jointly
maintained by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, state extern
sion service, county commissioners and
county farm bureaus for the year end.
ing June 80, 1921, was 1862 ,619.47, the
profits which resulted from demonstra-
ton work only of the county agents
for the year ending November 30
1921, amounted to 1851 ,231.33, little
more than one and one-half times the
annual cost of the agents work.

Some Disgusting Americans.

>~~.~~~~~~~ee~s
II the American people want right
to prevail in international relation
ships they must do away with that
petty and provincial viewpoint which
antagonizes the achievement of such
an objective. During the last week
forty-four citizens of this country
have taken it upon themselves to dis
tribute message to the people of
India in the form of a poster. In that
they are clearly within their rights
and there is nothing very harmful.
But when these same forty-four
citizens give out a message to India
pledging American support Of the ma
tionalist campaign to overthrow Brit
ish rule they are out Of order and are
acting contrary and injurious to the
American government.
Not only that. They are even false
to the people they propose to benefit.
Forty-four citizens would have the ig-
norant Indians believe that the Ameri-
can government is officially behind
their actions.
Nothing is further from the truth.
The American people, at least those
who are in their senses, are not for
meddling in India affairs. If Senator
G.. W. Norris Of Nebraska, Mayor
Hoan of Milwaukee and other political
trimmers of that type, want to pledge
their personal support to the India
mutiny we'll and good. But for these
same men to pledge the support of all
America to their scheme reveals that
either their prejudice will not let their
common sense prevail or else they are
mentally irresponsible.
If we remember rightly, America is
at this very moment confronted with
native self government problems in
Porto Rico, Haiti and the Philippines
that sound very similar in India. If
forty-four Americans are going out to
save the world and usurp the duties
that rightfully belong to the secretary
of state and to the government it
would seem to be wise that the saving
should begin with America, that our
colonies should be made satisfied with
government before we save the British
colonies.
Now that the forty-four have made
the Indian believe something that isn't
true, it will be interesting to see how
many Of them go to India, where "their
hearts lie," and actually do something
besides pledge away other peoples
rights.-Minneapolis Journal.

lows National Demand Suggest
i ed by Grain Growers.
St. Paul, Jan. 5.-Passage by the
United States senate of a resolution
authorizing federal investigation of
the export grain trade is the direct
result of thousands of letters and tele-
grams sent to Washington by grain
producers, at the suggestion of c. H.
Gustafson, according to northwest
headquarters of the United States
Grain Growers, Inc. Mr.. Gustafson,
Grain Growers president, three weeks
ago launched a national campaign to
obtain early action on this resolution,
charging that present ''ruinous prices"
were due to smashing" process,
despite an export demand that in 1921
absorbed 90,O0O,o00 bushels of wheat
more than in 1920.
In Minnesota, presidents of county
farm bureaus responded vigorously
to Mr.. Gustafson's appeal.
The resolution authorizes the federal
trade commission to inquire into the
margin between farm and export
prices of market manipulation, profits
and losses of grain export firms, and
methods used by foreign buyers. The
resolution was introduced last summer
by Senator E. F. Ladd, and was
"pigeon-holed" in committee until the
United States Grain Growers launched
nationwide campaign for it's pas
sage.

Bulletin on Farm Leases.

So many farms are operated by ten
ant farmers that various differences
and problems concerning rentals are
bound to develop. w. L. Cavert, farm
management specialist with the uni
versity's agricultural extension divi-
sion has prepared special bulletin
mo. 51) entitled Farm Lease Con-
tracts" which may be had on applica-
ton to the office of publication, Uni
versity farm, st. Paul. Mr.. Cavert
gives advice concerning the selection
of farm by tenant, the selection Of
tenant by a landlord, and keeping
up the productivity Of the farm, in adj
dition to explaining different kinds Of
leases. If called on, county agents
and the university's specialists will,
so far as their tenants permit, offer
suggestions to tenants or landlord in
solving rental problems and perplexi-
ties.

Good Year Ahead for Farmers.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Farmers OF
the nation can enter the new year Gin
a spirit of hopefulness and good
cheer" Secretary Of Agriculture Hen
~ C. Wallace said today in a state
ment setting forth what he considers
the bright side of the agricultural out
look. But in his message of optimism
the secretary warned that "boom
times" are not in prospect for the far
MGR in the near future. With the far
mer's situation improved those who
deal with him will find times better,
Here are Mr.. Wallace's hopeful signs:
Credit conditions are better both
through regular channels and through
the special agencies created to meet
the farmers needs. Interest rates
also are softening.
Reductions already made in freight
rates on farm products Tighten by
that much the transportation burden
which the farmer has been carrying.
Cost of producing farm crops will be
lower relatively in 1922 than in 1921.
Very likely there will be reduction
in the acreage of some Of the grains
of which we now have such large
surplus, and this should tend toward
better prices.
The paralyzing effect of the sudden
drop in prices last year is wearing off
and farmers enter the new year more
believing that the worst is
over.
Congress has indicated willingness
to enact such legislation as promises
to be helpful.
Farmers are coming to see more
clearly that the task of putting farm
ing on a sound business basis is really
up to them and that through orga-
nization they can reduce marketing
COSTS" Secretary Wallace said. "In
this they will have increasing help
from the department Of agriculture
and the various state agricultural COL
leges which now see better than before
that they must give the farmer the
same sort of help in the marketing of
his crops that they have been giving
him in the production.

with prices of farm products fall
ing and the future very uncertain,
even those farmers who had money
laid by-and there are large number
of such-have been restricting their

Now, with the growing belief that
prices have hit bottom, buying will be
resumed and should increase in VOL
