"Winnebago, Mimi, Oct. e
Farmers may take a tip from
Fred Blowers whose test crop OF
cucumbers averaged Sl,l84 an

The above is taken from Min

Henry Larsen, north of Askov,

and wrote to Mr.. Blowers at Win
nebago requesting him to explain
how he was able to do so well on
one acre.
He received the following
letter a few days later:

say the price | got for cucumbers

Our government is ourselves;
and if we wish to improve our
conditions we must be willing to
help ourselves. If you will notice
the system of any big line Of
business, you will find that they
are very careful in regard to
overproduction and that they are
ever on the alert for new sales
opportunities, and believe this
principle must be applied to

Old Couple Inspired Writing Of
Blouse by the Side Of the
Road.

Detroit News: Sam Walter
Foss. the author of the poem,
The House by the Side of the
Road, was an enthusiastic ira
Weller. On one of his trips
through new England he came, at
the top Of long hill, to a little
Imprinted house, set almost in
the road. AT one side was a
signpost pointing to a well-worn
path and a sign. Come in and
have a cool drink Following
the path he found in the side of
the bank a spring of ice-cold wa
ter, above which hung an old
fashioned gourd dipper, and on
the bench near was basket of
apples with another sign, Help
yourself. He found a childless
old couple in straitened circum-
stances, with the rocky farm as
their only source of livelihood,
But il was rich in the delicious
spring of water and an abundance
of fruit, so a sign was placed
guiding to the water, and from
the time Of the ripening of the
first purple plum to the harvest
ing Of the last red apple a basket
of whatever fruit might be in
season was placed near. that any
one passing might rest upon the
long hill and refresh himself. The
old gentleman explained that
they were too poor to give money
so they took this way to add their
mite to the worlds well-doing.
The beautiful thought so i'm
pressed FoSs that he immortal
lied with his pen the ideal life
of helpfulness.

Editor Askov American;
After reading in your issue of

column, an article denouncing
Mr., Sapiro, the leader of the gov
ernment cooperative movement,
| believe a few comments on the
same would not be out of place,
| will agree with the writer
that the cost of production, for
some time, has been in excess
of what il has been worth on the
market at home, so what we need
is not MIR. Sapiro as producer, as
that line is already overdone-but
il he or any branch of govern
ment employees can help us to

two to three times the amount
paid by the consumer here from
what is received by the producer
at home, and that within fifty
miles of each other.
The question in my mind is:
are we not missing an opportunl-
ty on the selling question which
we ourselves might remedy by a
little investigation and co-opera-
ton on our own part and elimi-
nate some of the profit that is
going to a class of people who
have no interest in distribution
but to make a good profit at the
expense of both producer and
consumer?
When you stop to consider that
at the steel plant alone there are
over 1900 men who must be fed,
and half of these have families,
besides a city the size of Duluth,
you will realize that nearly all
food must be shipped in and dis
tributed.
am trying out the shipping
of a few of my farm products
here and might be able to report
something a little later.
believe if the editor would
publish a sketch of the life and
some of the accomplishments of
Mr.. Sapiro it would be interest
ing reading. A very good &C
count appeared in the "Ameri-
can Magazine" a few months ago.
This article is not intended to
censure the opinions of anyone
else, but is written as a sugges-
ton that we might be able to
better our own conditions.

by a man from the committee Of
New York City who sponsored
their coming to America, only
two or three of the performers
were professional athletes, those
having taken part in the Olympic
games, the balance had received
only a few months training at the
folk high school in Ollerup under
the excellent and able leader
ship of Mr.. Bukh.
After viewing the performance
of about two hours one could
hardly figure out where there
were any muscles in the body
that had not been brought into
action through the strenuous and
various forms of gymnastics
and it was all done with an ac-
curacy that is rare. Physical
exercise of this sort is surely
good for any man or woman
whether they be on the farm,
shop or office as it gets muscles
into play that otherwise remain
dormant, thus fitting them better
for any kind of work 1t creates
a healthy body and in a healthy
body there is better room for a
healthy mind.
Folk dances were also shown in
original costumes and these were
surely pretty in contrast to
modern jazz. Much singing
went along with the gym per-
formances.
Niels Bukh and his gymnasts
are making a brief tour of
America, showing in several of
the larger cities and have scored
great successes at all places.
They recently performed at
Washington, d. c., in the capitol
before cabinet officers, diplomats,
national educational officers and
others, being heartily received
and rendered a reception by
President Coolidge.
1t was at first planned to have
only one performance in Mime
apolis that of Monday evening
arranged by the Danish central
committee, but it was found that
all those who desired to see the
performance could not gain adj
mission that night so another
performance was arranged for
Tuesday evening under the
auspices of other societies
principally educational activities
of the Mill City,
Including the Askov young
folks who are attending the
State University and those tenn
porarily employed in the Twin
Cities there were between so and
100 Askov people that witnessed
the performance in the Mill City,
