The Farm Bureau has proven to be
one of the worthwhile farm organiza-
ton in. this country. 1t has taken
time to- make the organization sue
cess, but the work has been so prac-
>tical and so free from radicalism, OF
from political faint of any kind, that
it has appealed to the thinking far
mer, and he has given it his support
1T has proven a constructive agency
and, cooperating with an efficient
county agent, as it has in Latah
county, has helped solve many prob
lens for the farmer. Through the
efforts of the Farm Bureau, and the
county agent, the farmers of Latah
county have intelligently combatted
the rodents and the weeds; they have
secured better seed and where they
were willing, to cooperate and make
use of the organization, they have
grown better and cleaner crops and
haye profited generally.

HE'LL RAISERS IN THE SENATE
Minnesota's new senator is heralded
as a." hell raiser" and is expected
to raise it when he gets to Washing
ton. It's a reputation easily acquired
especially when it's possessor is gifted
with a voice like that of Magnus
Johnson, which is likened to the bel
Wow of bull. Still, the senate has
a way with raisers of the Internal
regions that sometimes raises the
same locality with their regulations
as raisers, says the Kansas City Star.
Mr. Johnson got his reputation in
Minnesota, where there is plenty of
room for his voice to travel, APP
plauding crows to hear it and no
hell subduers to put muffler on
him. But it will be different when
Mr.. Johnson finds himself in his seat
in the white-enameled refrigerator
known as the senate chamber, con-
templating the calm and frosty whis- |
kers of Henry Cabot Lodge.
"A good many senators first and |
last have gone to Washington trail |
ing fuliginous clouds that seemed to |
indicate they were taking hell right |
along with them for fear there |
wouldn't be any left to raise when |
they got to the senate. But their |
constituents who expected to see the |
clouds curling up through the senate
roof generally have been disap-
pointed We don't know just how
the senate does it, but we have OBJ
served that when a hell-raising SEN
ator has been received and ticketed in
that air-cooled chamber, has been
given his committee appointments, a
with attentive pages to wait on him
and the privilege of suggesting the
absence of a quorum, he is quite
likely to turn around and lend his
talents to those who are there to keep
hell down.
Considering what is expected of Mr..
in Minnesota, we cannot look
for him to surrender to the senates
spell so easily. He will try to do
some raising, no doubt. AS the latest ,
Of the raisers he will try to outraise
them all He owes that to his con-
and we would be disap !
pointed in him if he didn't make some {
effort to deserve their confidence.
Still, when we contemplate the row !.
If extinct or merely smouldering vol :
;anoes that went to the senate with
equations as raisers as high as his z
own, we cannot but fear for Mr.. {
Johnson. The senate will get him if a
le doesn't watch out. And if the SEN
tie gets him he's got to watch out :
