duction of sugar. Our next step is
to ssild a factory to thresh the
sugar from tbsebeets.
"This the farmers, for lack of
capital, are unable to do for them
selves. We Of the Northwest do not
ask for government aid. We do,
however, ask that the present laws
which have allowed us to prove this
system of agriculture is adaptable to
our own country be not disturbed as
capital cannot assist us if foreign
grown products of the soil are al
lowed to compete with ours.
''It might be that we could buy
these commodities cheaper but even
if they were given to US nothing
would be added to our prosperity, as
it is only by production we obtain
prosperity"
''This is just as much your fight
as ours" local men are told in the
letter from Secretary Peterson Of
Moorhead. Minnesota alone uses
annually between 200,000,000 and
230,000,000 pounds of sugar. The

Prospects for a Golden

enthusiastically it is we'll worth
the trouble to take such trip, for
all the small grain gives prospects of
the best crop for many years, prob
ably the largest crop ever grown
here-one will find beautiful fields
everywhere, but sight of the Sank
valley between here and St. Cloud is
a sight of unusual beauty and an in
spiration to all who view it. By TAX
ing highway No. A to within a half
mile of Spring Hill, then turning
east, crossing the river and following
the old river road into Richmond, one
is amazed at the great fields of fine
grain, half of which is wheat much
of the way. This seems singular, in
the face of the low wheat prices pre-
vailing until the last week, but never
the less much wheat was sown east
of Spring Hill. All these fields
promise fine crop. This is a trip
well worth taking for the road is
good all the way. Incidentally this
is now the best way to get to ST..
Cloud for at Richmond one picks up
trail No. 23 direct into St. Cloud !.
One drives only a few miles further,
and the road is very much better
than No. 8, the latter being in very
bad shape at present.
Highway No. west traverses a
country thick with beautiful grain
fields, especially west of Osakis, but
the Sank Valley now affords a sight
which is well worth the trip, a sight
which one does not often see here.
The farmers can surely smile now.

Though the people are accustomed
to think that the candidate who re-
ceives the greatest number of popu-

Presidency, there have been instances
in American history where Congress
has upset this theory. The history
of the United States shows that three
times has a candidate having small

been successful in attaining the Pres

Adams in 1924, Hays in 1876, and
Benjamin Harrison in 1888. The

of electors, the desirability of excer-

through northern, northeastern, and
Northwestern Minnesota, working up
enthusiasm to insure the success of
the Dairy Show.
I'm his taik with the local contingent
he stressed the fact that Sank Centre
was generally recognized as one of
the real leading dairy sections of Min
nesota and that its future develop
ment along dairying lines was yet in
its infancy. In discussing the ques-
ton of production he said moth
ing had developed at this time to in
dictate that America produced any
where near as much dairy products as
it could consume. He said that during
the month of June no less than twenty
million pounds of butter had been i'm
ported into this country from Russia

Gentlemen:
eve transmit herewith our report
covering an investigation of the ques.
ton of the advisabilty of constructing
a Hydro-electric plant on the Sank

City of Sank Centre.
"Our report indicates conclusively
that the investment is desirable from
a standpoint of supply of electric
energy, that it can be installed for a
comparatively small investment and
that the results will more than justify
the cost of the project on the basis of
power development only.
. ut seems ito US, however, that tht
investment should not be considered
only on the basis of power develop
ment, but from civic view point, for
it will maintain a lake level, which
will have great aesthetic value to
the city.
"It would therefore be our recon-
mendation that this construction be
proceeded with. A more complete
survey and detailed plans and speci-
fications will of course be required.
cit is of course, apparent to you
that the electrical energy to be OBJ
tanned from water power will not be
in sufficient amount to provide for
more than two years requirements
and consideration must soon be given
the installation of an additional oil

''In conjunction with the Hydro.

would be required instead of the Ito

En9ineer Recommends
Purchase of Water Power
by City of Sank Centre

The Water Light and Power Com
mission of Sank Centre are devoting
much study to the solving of the
question of whether it would be pro-
fitable for the city to resume the
generating of it's own electricity fol-
lowing the expiration of the contract
now existing between the City of
Sank Centre and the st. Cloud Public
Service Company in December of
this year.
The present contract calls for a
price of OPP per kilowat. The ST.
Cloud corporation made a PROPOSE
ton to renew the contract on the
basis of 02.75. Monday evening of
this week General. Manager George
Grote of the Public Service Corpora
ton met with the Light and Power
Commission in this city and SUBMIT
ed an entirely new proposition on the
basis of 02.5. This rate is not salts
factory to the commission as they are
convinced that the city can manu-
facture its own electrical energy at
considerably less cost.
Herald readers will recall that a
few weeks ago Mr.. McCulloh repre-
senting the Charles L. Pillsbury Co.,
consulting engineers, in company
with John N. McGibbon manager of
the Light plant, and Frank Perry,
chairman of the Water Light and
Power Commission, inspected Sank
Lake and the tributary land to ascer-
tain the feasibility of the light and
power commission negotiating with
the Central Minnesota Power and
Milling Co., of this city for the pur-
chase of it's dam across Sank. River,
and fiowage rights.
Under date of July 18th the Pills

this investigation indicating that it
would be, profitable and advisable
for the City of Sank Centre to take
over the water power.

Widespread Movement to
Bring Agricultural Prosperity
Moorhead Commercial Club Takes
Initiative In Important Movement
Sank Centre. May Coop.

Business men and farmers in Sank
Centre and vicinity may soon become
important factors in a far-reaching
movement to bring back agricultural
prosperity through complete change
in farm practices, if favorable action
is taken on request just received
from the Commercial Club of Moor
head, MINI.
E. S. Peterson, secretary of the
Moorhead club, has sent an appeal
for quick action on a resolution SINH
lar to that adopted in Moorhead, cop
les of which will be sent from here
not only to our representatives and
senators, but to President Coolidge
himself.
The resolution urges that condi-
lions be maintained in which the
farmers can work out for them
selves the salvation they have al
ready plannend, through substitution
for wheat and other crops that de-
stroy the fertility of the soil, such
crops as sugar and butter, whose prin-
cipal elements come from sunshine
and rain and hence contain very lit
tie fertilizing elements.
Efforts have been made on all
sides to devise some means whereby
farmers may receive a larger sum
for the crops they have been accus-
toned to produce" says the resolu-
ton which the Moorhead, Mimi, club
has already sent to President Cool
idge, a copy of which was sent here
with Secretary Peterson's appeal.
"Even if the assistance that has
been proposed, could be rendered to
our northwestern farmers" the re-
solution continues, cit would be but
temporary.
"The trouble is more deeply seat
ed.
"From the time of settlement of
these states until the present time the
principal crop has been wheat.
"For years the land produced from
forty to sixty bushels of wheat per
acre, but year after year this pro-
duction has been declining until at
the present time the average is but
seven bushels.
"We as residents of these states
have been depicting our soil without
realizing it..
"Our salvation lies in the complete
change of our agricultural practices
and not in political remedies.
Realizing this the farmers and
businessmen of Moorhead, Minnesota
and vicinity have been for years
working towards system of agricul-
ture based upon production of food
crops which take for their principal
element inexhaustible material in
stead of the mineral matters of the
soil.
"Such a system has rehabilitated
the worn-out soils of Europe and is
largely the cause of the wonderful
change during the last hundred years
in the prosperity of the Central Pow
ers of Europe. This system is based
on the production and sale of such
farm products as butter and sugar :.
