FARM PUBLICITY

DARTLY because of their own modesty and
r partly through the limited range of acqu-
aintance held by their local newspaper men,
farmers rule do not get much publicity
through the columns Of the press, even when, as
frequently happens, they achieve successes thai
would well warrant what is commonly called "a
good write-up." Probably that accounts for the
wide attention that newspaper men will be likely
to give the of Henry C. Lau, farmer Of
Redwood county over west of here, whose wise
administration of his farming affairs got noised
abroad sufficiently to attract the atton of The
Farmer of st. Paul, which gave pretty good
article about his achievements, together with
illustrations of his comfortable farm buildings in
recent issue.
1t appears that Mr. Lau is president Of the
Minnesota Crop Improvement Association and
also president of the Tri-Coupty Farm Improve
ment Association of Redwood, Lyon and Murray
counties which may have helped to secure Tor
his place the favorable attention it has received
hut it is worthy of note that in almost all cases
of prosperity among our farming folk, the really
helpful thing is what the farmer has accomplish
ed for himself. This Mr.. Lau's case is the story
of rundown grain farm rejuvenated during ten
years of intensive husbandry after he took charge
Of it, with net result of its paying him hand
some dividends in the way of living while en-
abling him to develop such barns and farm build
ings as a modern farmer would like, and greatly
improving the generally productive nature of the
soil itself. OF course, it has to be acknowledged
that only mixed farming secured these results
and this too only at the expense of the most pain
stalking management on the part of Mr. Lau and
his family who united to bring about these re-
suits.
The Free Press believes there many cases
similar to this which could be found all over
southern Minnesota, including a considerable
number here in Nicollet county, which never find
their way into the public press. They would be
interesting, as well as heartening and inform
ing to the public at large and to other studious
minded farmers, if the instances of such success
and the methods by which it is obtained could be
more generally made known. The farmers OF
this part of the state are hard and careful work
ers as rule, and they achieving results that
would be most surprising to the one-crop grain
men who call themselves farmers in the newer
sections of the Northwest. And apparently it is
being accomplished through carefulness in keep
ing up their soil, and by diligent and patient work
in which the head cooperates quite well as
the hands.-St Peter Free Press.

These are the days when life is darkened by
all. sorts of tax clouds, including automobile, in
come and personal. 1t might be well for to
stop and consider bit who pays the taxes ans
way. When the matter of new school building
here was preached the statement was made, not
once but several times, that by all that is just
only the Taxpayers should vote the PROPOSE
ton. The statement has been made rela-
tive to other suggested civic improvements and
one gets sort of fed up on the tendency of tax
payers to take on "high caste" airs as though
they the only citizens who do anything for
the payment of public expenses. Let's consider
the matter fairly and squarely. Who pays the
industrial the mercantile tax; is it the fellow
who owns the plant or is it the consumer Of the
products, or is it both? No owner of such a
plant fails to add in the taxes as a part of his
overhead and to base the prices for his product
on the cost of production plus the overhead. II
he does fail to do this he fails in one of the big
clements of good business and in most cases
"lasts quick" business man. Then another
thing is to be considered. Does the who
owns property here and pays the tax thereon and
then buys his merchandise from outside concerns
support the town as loyalty as does the man on
salary who pays no tax but spends every cent
of his earnings with local dealers, for food, CLOTH
ing and other factors of his family's livelihood?
In all fairness to the on the salary who is
thus loyal, we must admit that he pays more to-
wards the support Of his community than does
the man who pays possible two or three hun
bred dollar tax and then sends twelve or fifteen
hundred out of town to pay for groceries, cloth
ing, shoes, etc. purchased of some mail order
house. This tax question is much involved. Ev-
cry loyal citizen who lives in community and is
buying the necessaries Of life there is paying the
taxes of that community even though he may not
have to call at the office Of the County Treasurer
March LIST. and June LIST. The indirect" tax is
far reaching in its ramifcations and meanderings
and merits study. And it is well for US not to
forget that the fellow who can show record of
Redwood Falls salary checks exchanged for Red.

Some one who is more or less opposed TO
warfare as means of settling differences Of
opinion, states that "the Esquimaux is no Chris
tian; he doesn't know thing about poison gas. ;"
The logic in that statement is certainly stretched
a bit more than it naturally should be but the
little comment it makes on warfare between
Christian nations is assuredly timely.
