OrWdShiv3ton Letter

Washington. Sept. 30--Impar-
tial observers watching the ever
shifting scenes in Washington are
quick to admit that propaganda
plays many parts and always pre-
dominates. The mere fact that
the highest Governmental offici-
ais counselled news writers about
the need of discriminating be-
tween true accounts and cleverly
disguised publicity shows how
seriously propaganda is regarded
in officialdom. II was most I'M
usual for the President to sound
the warning note but our foreign
affairs are at stake. Occasional
ly our sentimental instincts over
come our ordinary good sense.
With this thought in mind, a
simple request was made to the
effect that the American press
give clear and unbiased reports
of debt negotiations with foreign
governments. Some writers,
swayed by maudlin sentiment,
have pictured the American Gov
eminent as a Shylock demanding
payment of other nations.
Insofar as opinions here were
affected by this chatter, the Fed
eral Government was not disturb
ed. However, foreign press agen-
cies, subsidized by their respec-
tive governments, would reprint
these dispatches and make it APP
pear as the American peoples re-
pudiation of their Governments
action. Their methods of dissemin-
ating this misinformation is sim
liar to that utilized by some thea
tiers who take certain favorable
phrases from press reviews and
eliminate the balance of the criti-
cism.

sions. The American Debt Fund

Having lived his life in Mime
sofa, Mayor Nelson is thoroughly
conversant with the problems Of
the Northwest embracing the
farm. the small community and
the city. The story Of his rise
to political prominence as mayor
Of the states capitol city, the
youngest man with one exception
to occupy that position, reads like
a page from fiction. Born in
Browns Valley. Mimi. May 10.
1892, he worked his way through
high school. Manchester College
and finally through the st. Paul
College Of Law. He was appoint
ed corporation counsel for the
city Of st. Paul in 1920 and dur
ing his term made an enviable
record. This fitted him admirab-
ly for his duties as Mayor, his
knowledge Of the city charter
and his progressive spirit maxi
ing it possible for the city TO re-
cord its greatest growth in his
tory.
With his customary courage,
therefore Mayor Nelson has tack
led the job Of editing for one day.
Already he has laid plans for nu-
merous features recording the

Burton refused to consent 10 the
French program. The business
sessions were held behind closed
doors.
Meanwhile, social functions
were held and here propaganda
cropped up. The social lobby is
the most effective political weap-
on. A subtle, suave diplomat or
distinguished visitor somehow
can do more politically through
society than in political circles.
Flattering attentions to a So
cially ambitious wife or daughter
of a Government official will
bring pressure to bear at home,
and oft times a legislator will
vote according to his family's
sentimental ideas and contrary
to his own convictions.
Similarly. foreigners cultivate
certain news writer's by shower
ing social attentions upon them
and indicating the bestowal of
decorations and other political
awards. The average writer
would rather play golf with his
brethren than take tea at lega-
tions. If some diplomats and pol
iticians seeking to use the press
to advance their own cause could
hear the unadulterated opinions
given at the Nineteenth" Hole
Of Washington clubs, they would
realize the absurdity of hatch
ing out crude propaganda.
The French are not alone in
this work. What has been said
above applies equally to all for

HOUSE PULLETS EARLY
FOR THE BEST RESULTS

Making good use of the poultry
house goes hand in hand with hav-
ing a comfortable house into
which to place the flock, says
Cora Cooke, poultry specialist at
University Farm. One essential
for this particular time of year
is to get the pullets into their
laying quarters early-the first
of October or earlier. This is
the time they need to be housed
for the winter if they are to
start promptly on a winter of
steady laying.
Someone may ask, Shouldn't
they be let out at all after Octo-
Der first?" The answer is No
if the house has been made COM
Portable beforehand"
Good egg production can be OBJ
tanned only where conditions are
regular from day to day. Sudden
change in either the management
or feed of flock checks egg pro-
duction very quickly. The wealth
er changes suddenly from an ex-
IRENE to another in October and
the birds are kept busy adjusting
themselves to conditions just at a
time when all their effort is
needed in getting ready for their
winters work. IL does not help
matters any to let the flock out
on the warm days and house
them when the weather is bad.
Pullets thus handled are restless
and do not settle down to work.
On the other hand, early Matched
and well grown pullets put into
their laying house on a good win
ter ration by October first can be
producing 10 or more eggs apiece
in November.
Money spent on improving
the poultry house will be repaid
most quickly if the house is put
to immediate use.

EXPERTS WILL STUDY
CORN BORER PESTS

Minneapolis, Sept. 28.-Depra-
dations of the European corn Dor
er, one of the most recent and
most dangerous insect pests to be
introduced into the United
States. have become so serious in
certain parts Of the corn belt that
a committee representing the
principal agricultural experiment
stations of the Middle West is to
make a tour and study conditions
according to Dean Walter c. Cof-
fey of the University of Mime
sofa, department of agriculture.
They will make the trip this
week. returning early in October.
Seeking permission of the
Board of Regents for the trip out
side the state, Dean Coffey laid
emphasis on the menace which
this new insect enemy holds for
the agricultural regions where
corn is a major crop. The party
will visit places in Iowa. Illinois,
Indiana. Michigan, and probably
will go into Ontario. Dean Coffey
said
The Board of Regents also ac-
cepted a gift Of approximately
So, 600 from a commercial fertil-
izer company to pay the ex-
penses of an investigation to de-
termine the relationship, if any,
between the prices Of tobacco and
potatoes and the use of fertili-
zers. Cornell University and the
University OF Minnesota were
chosen as the institutions to re-
ceive such a gift. Cornell to study
tobacco and Minnesota potatoes.
The work will be carried ON by ex-
perts on the university staff,

Just finished a busy tourist
season up here. There were
about twice the number of tour
lists passing through here than
last year. The Richardson High
way is rapidly becoming better
and it won't be long before u will
probably be known as a bculc-
ward.
Winter is fast closing down
on us, we had an exceptionally
cool summer. the snow never left
the tops of the mountains around
the Copper River valley. Guess
the climate must be changing up
here, at least so they tell me.
The fox ranchers are doing
we'll nowadays up here. some Of
the ranchers are planning on
starting a combination lynx,
mink and fox ranch, the idea be-
ing to save food. After the fur
has been taken off. the lynx will
be fed to the minks and the
minks to the foxes and in turn
the foxes to the lynx. thus soly-
ing the food question.
The gold fever has somewhat
subsidized up here. but several
prospectors have recently been
told by Indians about q valley
some hundred miles off, where
there is an unlimited deposit OF
gold and undoubtedly there will
be a rush in the spring. There
would have been already IL grub
stakes had not been so scarce this
year.
We have had several bad wash
outs this summer. the railway
washed out in several places and
traffic was blocked for a few
days. This part of Alaska has
had the heaviest rainfalls this
year than even the oldest pioneer
can recall, when his memory is
best.
Hunting season just opened up
and the old timers are out trying
to get theirs, while | have not
seen any great amount Of large
or small game being brought in
| understand it is plentiful. This
is yet TO be proved.
The natives around here have
just finished their salmon season,
the salmon run was light this
year and consequently food for
the dogs. ETC., will be light this
winter. They will be on short
rations. The native women are
still kept busy so that time will
not hang heavy on their hands.
The men are storing up energy
for the winter.
