the contract. Nearly half the present
acreage has been signed during the
last 80 days. At the present rate of
progress, the quota will be obtained
by the end of the year. If we are
able to do this, the cost will be great
ly reduced and we will have two
months more in which to solve the
warehouse problem. A survey of the
state shows that better warehouseing
facilities are absolutely necessary in
Minnesota to carry out our orderly
marketing program"
Success of the campaign, from a
financial standpoint, was assured last
week when business men of Mime
apolis and st. Paul reiterated con-
fidence in the program and told the
committee that lack of funds would
not be permitted to cause suspension
of the organization work.
S. G. Rubinow, campaign manager,
working in Kittson County early in
the month, signed almost 1000 acres
in three days. E. w. Smith, working
at Glyndon and vicinity signed $500
acres in two days. Reports from all
field organizers indicate that the pre-
sent low market has made organiza-
ton work at least so per cent easier.

Plan to End Potato Cam

The Organization Desires to Cut Cost
and Give More Time for
Warehouse Program

Plans for completing the campaign
to organize the new Minnesota Potato
Growers Exchange by January 1,
instead of March 1, as stated in the
contract, were formulated by the ex-
ecutive council of the general state
organization committee, at meeting
held in st. Paul last week.
This decision was reached after the
executive officers had made care
full survey of the work thus far, "All
indications point to successful
organization campaign" says ]. A.
Monson of Bhaham, chairman of the
state committee. eve now have q

weight in Grand Forks and only
slightly higher prices elsewhere, po-
tato growers have come to under
stand that the only possible hope for
the future depends on the formation
of a grower-owned marketing agency
which can substitute orderly market
ing for the present dumping system.
Last year the potato growers OF
the Northwest suffered disaster be-
cause of over-production and the
workings of the dealer-dumping sys-
tenn. This year, with smaller crop
and willingness on the part of the
city people to pay fair price, the
existing marketing system has again
broken down completely, and the
growers who had been expecting the
potato crop to pull them out Of the
hole are again forced to sell the crop
for less than the cost of production.
The dumping system so correctly de-
scribed by Aaron Sapiro on his re-
cent visit to the Northwest is again
getting in its deadly work. Growers
are dumping against other growers,
and dealers are dumping against
other dealers. While the present
crop of potatoes will eventually be
sold at good price to the ultimate
consumer 1--WE paid eighty-fve cents
per bushel for potatoes at city stores
last week., the grower must take the
bankrupt prices now prevailing.
The organization of the new Min
nesota Cooperative Potato Market
ing Association is progressing slowly
but surely. Concentrated effort dur
ing the past two weeks on the part of
the State Organization Committee in
Red River Valley counties brought in
many new growers contracts, over
/ thirteen thousand acres being signed
up in that district alone. However,
it will require the best efforts, not
only of growers, but of business men
as we'll, in order to sign up the re-
quired acreage within the time-limit
set. The potato marketing organi-
cation proposed is no dream nor does
it promise impossible things. 1t is
merely sensible application OF
sound business principles to market
ing, a plan based on successful CO.
operative experience in California
and elsewhere, and a plan which is
ooPpoI tCu Wy CiliIlhlIiS UuS1liCSo ulcIl
and thinking farmers who see in CO.
operation way out for the potato
industry.
Minnesota farmers will serve their
own best interests by quickly putting
over the potato marketing organiza-
ton. Once that is accomplished, our
first experiment in the plan of com
modify marketing organizations as
applied to general crops will be under
way. The, other commodities can
then be studied and organized if de-
sirable. Farmers should remember
that every single idea involved in the
potato organization has been fol
lowed out by many co-operatives, in
GLIDING our own highly successful
Twin City Milk Producers Associa-
ton. When the potato marketing
plan comes your way, whether you
are potato grower or not, remem-
Der the crop that is now selling at
ruinous prices and give the move
memt boost. This is the big cooper
ative job now at hand, and let us
finish it up before others are under
taken.-The Farmer, st. Paul.

Post: Heard new one luther day.
A young man travelling in a. Ford car
and looking for work on a farm,
stopped at the Paschke farm north of
town. George did not need man
at that time, but old him a man by
the name of burke, living a mile and
a half west, needed a man-that it
was good place to work, and money
was always ready. Does he live on

AMERICAN LEGION !:
Il u naau a q q q q Il Il y I

Recently the papers carried
story concerning the generous action
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
Minnesota in appropriating one thous-
and dollars to pay the salaries of op-
orators to run the tractors which the
Minnesota State Highway Depart
ment had loaned to the colony of dis
abled soldiers at Silver Star.
Two weeks after the tractors be-
gan operating one man had nine ac-
res, one eight acres, and another elev-
en- acres stumped and piled, ready for
breaking. Here was twenty-eight
acres ready for the pillow in only two
weeks. The average cost of clearing
land in the vicinity with dynamite,
teams and man labor, is $50 per acre.
Here is S1400 worth of clearing at
practically no cost to the disabled
soldiers because of the splendid CO.
operation of the Minnesota Highway
Department and the Veterans of For
align Wars.
Visitors to this colony are surpris-
ed at the wonderful amount of devel-
opment work that has been done by
these men in so short period of
time.
That the assistance rendered these
disabled men is appreciated is evil
dinced by extracts from the letter of
acknowledgment sent by the Silver
Star Association: eve wish to thank
you from the bottom of our hearts
for your very liberal donation. Bud
dies, your cooperation has been a
Cod-send to the men at Silver Star
Colony. 1t will aid us towards get
ting on our feet and making a real
living much sooner than we ever an
ticipated." And they add in a post
script: "All visitors, Government or
otherwise, have remarked on what a
wonderful showing we have made for
the short period of time we have been
here. They are all soon told that had
not the Veterans of Foreign Wars
donated $1,000 for tractor operation,
we should not have made such big
showing" and this is just the be-
ginning!
At the present time it may be said
that all the farm colonies supervised
by the u S. Veterans Bureau are
prosperous.

Government Gives New Explosive
For Clearing of Land

Eoghteen million pounds of soda
tol, an explosive left over after the
world war, will be given to the farm
ers of the United States for clearing
and improving land. While the farm
er must pay for the mixing, cartridg-
ing, and shipping, there will be no
charge for the material itself.
Sodatol is composed of As per cent
of TINT and 55 per cent of nitrate of
soda. There are 240 sticks in every
100 pounds of sodatol, and every
stick has as much power, says A. ].
Schwantes, university land clearing
expert, as stick of ordinary dyna-
mite. Limited supplies of No. 6
blasting caps will be distributed free
of charge f. o. b., st. Paul, at the rate
of 100 caps for 100 pounds of soda
tol. Sodatol is nearly as sensitative
as ordinary dynamite, and a No. 6
cap will give complete detonation,
says Mr.. Schwantes.
Because the cartridging and carry
ing charges are less, sodatol will cost
the farmer less than picric acid. The
cost f. O. b. at Barksdale Wis, where
the material is being placed in cart
ridges, will be y$5.07 for every 100
pounds when orders are given for
carload quantities of 10000 pounds
or more. In fact, all shipments from
Barksdale must be in carload lots
which will be taken directly into the
county or community where the farm
ers have pooled their orders.
For filling local orders smaller
than carloads the University of Min
nesota will maintain powder magazin-
es at St. Paul, Bemidji, and Virginia.
The price will be $7.15 per 100
pounds f. o. b. from the nearest
point of shipment mentioned. Fifty
pounds of the new explosive is pack
ed in boxes having gross weight of
62h pounds each on which freight
has to be paid. The maximum amount
which a farmer may order is 1000
pounds; the minimum 100 pounds.
All orders, whether for a carload
or less, should be sent to the division
of agricultural engineering, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, and be accom-
panied by check or draft made pay
able to the University of Minnesota.
Order blanks and full information
can be obtained of county agents and
AOSdi UclhSIo VI ny WIiIliiS dIlCCIy
to University Farm. The first ship
ments from Barksdale will be made
about September Is. Mr.. Schwantes
says: "Sodatol will not freeze and
can be used at all times of the year.
Orders should be placed as soon as
possible for explosives needed this
fall. There is bound to be big de-
mand from various other states as
well as from Minnesota."

Marketing the Potato Crop"

Minnesota, recently came Hugo Sch
miedel to find a welcome under the
starry folds of the flag he fought in
1917 and 1918, as a soldier of the
German Army. With him came his
9-year-old son, Gunder, and soon will
follow him his wife and younger
children. To Hugo and his son, the
United States looks like heaven, they
say. Sixty men wanted to use their
passports and thousands of Germans
long to come to the u. S. A. America
is a great and wonderful country and
her citizens cannot too much appreci-
ate the blessings they enjoy, thinks

Minnesota Ranks Eighth
Minnesota Legionairs are getting
all set to renew their 1923 member
ships for 1924. All dues are due on
January 1st of each year. By get
ting all present members squared
away by that date, there will be more
time available to go out after new
members and increase the Gopher
Legion membership standing in the
nation. This year Minnesota ranked
eighth among the departments, being
led by New York with 10000 men,
bers, Illinois with $4,000, followed by
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio, Massac-
husetts and California. Behind Min
nesota comes Wisconsin and Indiana,
to increase this figure to 10000 or
more in 1924.
Labor Indorses Legion
"That the American Legion and
organized labor have many construc-
tive aims in common is shown by the
recommendation of the National
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor to the national
convention of that organization, held
recently in Portland, Oregon" de-
clares Ludwig I. Roe Of Montevido,
State Commander of The American
Legion of Minnesota, who cites the
following extracts from the report Of
the national labor body, the subst-
ances of these resolutions being in
line with the declaration of the Leg
ion in national convention assembled

American Legion
"The cry is coming from all parts
of the United States for the Ameri-
canization of the foreigner. No bet
ter time could campaign to this end
be launched than at present, and its
success would be made more certain
by complete restriction of immigra-
ton. Illiteracy is growing at a rapid
rate. In order to protect our institu-
lions from danger, we must impress
upon Congress the necessity of re.
stricting immigration to an even
greater extent than is provided in the
present law"
