Washington, Aug. 6.-Though
official Washington is particular
ly dull at this time of the year.
those who hold political jobs or
those who expect to receive po-
htical favors, are obviously con-
cerned over the caprices of the
market for farm products. 1t is
said in many quarters that the
yield of the soil and the demand
for the products holds the key
to the formation Of a third
party. The increasing COM
plexity of political conditions
continues to BATTLE even the most
astute politicians who realize
that public opinion is profoundly
interested and divided on the
chances of a third party getting
a permanent foothold after the
November elections.
The formal notifications to the
prospective candidates of their
nomination for the Presidency
revives partisan interest in plat
forms and resolutions of in
tentions. Impartial observers
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1924-08-07

are unanimous in their declara-
ton that it would be folly to pre-
dict the outcome of the autumn
elections at this early stage OF
the contest. Political leaders
are cognizant Of the necessity Of
stimulating party activity on the
great questions of the day and
familiarizing the voter with the
party commitments. Always
sensible Of the limitations of the
people, these party leaders do not
intRd to wait for human nature
to change but revise their own
institutions to fit human nature.
As one thoughtful leader stated
recently, There is no hope in put
ting a square collar on a horse
and then condemning the horse
for failure to grow a square
neck.
The claim was advanced in
many quarters that economic fac
tors more than political ideals
may govern the rise of a third
party. The political dopesters

Cow Testing Association No. 2
which takes in the territory
around Pine City, shows that the
production in these herds are
holding up in good shape. Ac-
cording to reports sent to us by
H. c. Roth, tester of the associa-
ton there are % cows that have
produced over 40 pounds of but
terfat during the month of July,
out of 1853 cows tested; ii of the
rs herds tested averaged Is
pounds of butterfat or over.
Richard Downing in Royalton
township, is the owner of the
highest producing COW milking
only twice a day. This COW pro-
duced 1886 pounds Of milk and
SAT pounds of butterfat. The
highest producing COW in the as
ISOLATION being MIXED more than
twice a day is owned by Weider-
man brothers. This COW is a pure
bred Holstein and produced 1886
lbs. of milk with a total of 75.4
pounds of butterfat. The report
also shows that the average for
the month of July for the whole
association is 1868 pounds of but
terfat per COW. This average
would indicate that for a ten
month period the average would
be something over 260 pounds of
butterfat per cow. The state av-
erage is somewhere around $50
pounds of fat which would indi-
cate that there must be some
very good cows in this associa-
ton. Following are the names of

ing over rs pounds of butterfat
