There are 1875 cars registered from
Mankato, or one automobile for 2.51
persons.
"She is smaller than either Hib-
bling, with 1909 population, or Vir-
ginia with 14,022 population, yet
these cities have only $40 and
2,67S cars, respectively. Hibbing has
a car for every 4.42 persons, and Vir-
ginia for every 5.23. These two
towns, because they are located on
the worlds greatest iron range, with
one-fourth of all the iron ore of the
world at their doors boast that they
are the richest cities in the world of
their size. Yet they do not buy as
many cars as Mankato.
"WorthingtOn and Fairmont, in a
diversified farming region, there is
one automobiles for about two per-
sons. In Albert Lea, another great
dairying. center the proportion is one
car for 2.49 persons. In Owatonna,
county seat of Steele county, it is
2.56; inWaseca, it is 2.35; in Hutch
inson it is exactly two, in Wilmar it
is 2.71; in Monticello it is 1888 and
in Mortified it is only 1.19 persons

dairying centers.
t.. Enriches Everybody.
"Of course many of these cars are
owned, not in town, but in the sur
rounding country. That shows clear
ly, however, how this dairying indu-
stry enriches everybody, in town and
country alike. This industry puts
golden dollars into the blue jeans of
every man who milks the COW instead
of enriching only favored few in
the cities.
Here is another striking contrast
Fergus Falls, in the heart of Otter
tail county's dairy district, has a car
for every 1888 people Just westward
in Wilkin county, where wheat rails
ing still predominates, Breckenridge
has only one car for every 4.43 peo-
pie.
Cup the Red River Valley, where di-
versified farming is only started, and
farmers have been single-cropping
their lands with wheat or potatoes for
years, Moorhead has one car for ATT
people; Crookston for every APO in
habitants.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-12-24

I'm the numbering town of Bemidji
there is one car for 300 people,
and in International Falls, with one
of the largest paper mills in the.
world there is a car for every .4.23
persons.
Doesn't it look as if this diversi-
fed farming and dairying had some
thing to do with creating prosperity,
and the ability to buy cars?"
Dairy Products Hold Up.
Cali during the war, and the de-
flation period that hit us like Jap
anese earthquake the price of good
dairy products held up better than
those OF other farm products. In
1921, when the income from crops
fell 30 per cent, and from livestock
30 per cent below the 1919 levels,
the cash return from dairying was
only IL per cent less than in the peak
year.
1.-TWO startling facts also confront
us. With all our efforts to promote
dairying in the past so years, the in
crease in the cow population is not
keeping pace with the growth of the
country.
According to figures compiled by
the Minnesota department of agricul-
ture, in 1850 there were ten cows for
every SO persons in this country In
1860 there were 10 for every 81 per-
sons; in 1870 and in 1880, 10 for ev-
cry 43; in 1900, 10 for every A; in
1910, 10 for every As, and in 1920,
10 for every So persons.
This condition puts the United
States in the position of being obliged
to import dairy products, because we
do not make enough to supply. our
own demands, and we cannot increase
our cows fast enough to increase this
production.
1.-THE United States as whole is
really suffering from under-consump-
ton rather than any over-production
of dairy products. We consume much
less of them than almost any other
civilized country, yet it has been
shown repeatedly that this consump-
ton can be increased enormously by
the proper efforts of education and
advertising.

Chas. F. COLLISION, Agricu1-
tural Editor of Minnea-
. polls Tribune, Delivers
Constructive Address at
Askov Farm Bureau Unit
Meeting.

Declaring that diversified farming,
and especially the dairy industry, is
bringing prosperity to the farmer
wherever it is intelligently carried
on, Chas. F. COLLISION, agricultural
editor of the Minneapolis Tribune,
brought highly optimistic and con-
structive message to the people of
Askov and surrounding territory be-
fore the local Farm Bureau Unit
meeting on Saturday, Dec. IL.
Mr.. Collision gave many COMPARE
sons between various counties of this
state as well as those Of North Da-
kota-where dairying is carried on
extensively and where small grain
farming is done and has been done
continually for years-which goes to
show where the wealth is. He is
strong, for diversified farming and
dairying and knows how to bring
out the facts in manner that is in
teresting and instructive to hear. Oc-
with a good story. Many of those
who heard him will be interested in
reading his speech and going over the
figures once more and for that reason,
as well as for the benefit of those who
could not attend, the American is pub
fishing the greater part of it.
Mr.. COLLISION spoke in part as
follows: a. .
Golden Butter and Golden Dollars.
One of the most vivid recollections
of my early newspaper experience
was that of travelling across the state
of Iowa with William Jennings Bryan
on his first free silver campaign. l
was a young cub reporter then, re-
porting his speeches for Democratic
newspaper.
How well I remember all the dire
things that Mr.. Bryan said were going
to happen to America, unless the gold
standard was displaced by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
How we'll remember, also, the un-
precedented prosperity that follow
ed his defeat at the polls, some few
weeks later.
One is reminded of all this, by all
this talk we have been hearing lately,
about the terrible condition of the
northwestern farmer.
Nearly every speaker on agricul-
ture, whom the newspapers have re-
ported lately, has felt it necessary to
tell us "how many millions of our
farmers are deserving their farms
and how many of them are going to
die of want and starvation, unless
well, usually unless the speaker or
his candidate is elected something or
other.
Most Troubles Never Happen.
Now all this gloom is getting very
tiresome. There are many who be-
lieve it is not getting us anywhere,
to dwell upon our difficulties Some
of us are old enough to have had
many troubles-but the most of them
never happen. Some of us have liv-

Want Seaplane MoorinQ.

Aviators Davis and Merrill are de- sirous in securing mooring for their seaplane at a location near the Sew ard wharf and, in this respect, the suggestion was made that the Sew ard chamber assist them in obtain ing same. During the discussion of ways and means, it was suggested that one of the large anchors or moorings used by the round the world fliers, and which are owned by the government, be obtained The atten- ton of the chamber was called that the aviators have been charged a daily rental of $500, by a local res ident, for the above mentioned pur- pose, and one of the government anchors used.
 Geo. Sexton urged the local cham Der to get behind Nome in assisting the northern city in her efforts to ob- tain an air mail service, suggesting a feasible and practical route to Nome would be via Seward and Bris- tol Bay.
 The remainder of the meeting was taken up with listening to a num- Der of visitors, D. H. Williams, pres ident of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and manager of the West ern Alaska Fair Association; Herbert Johnston, a former Alaskan who is now engaged in business in Califor- nia and who is back on two months vacation; L. Kracke, head of can- nery and saItery company who has recently entered this field from south eastern Alaska Other guests who attended the luncheon were Jess Lan der, former resident of Anchorage who moved to Seward last week and proposes to engage in business here; Dr. w. H. Barr and son, Brit ton Barr of Michigan who have re- turned to Alaska for the third time to enjoy vacation. The speeches of Messrs. Williams and Kracke and Johnston, appears elsewhere in the columns of this issue of the Gate way.

Acknowledging the receipt of let ter from the Seward Chamber of Commerce, with reference to increas- ed appropriate for geological sur veys in the Territory, aggregating $150,000 the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, will assist the movement in every way in the coming session of Con- gress, according to Charles D. Gar field, director of the department.
 Other communications received by the local chamber during the past week, and which were read at yester- days luncheon and business meeting, held at the Seward Grill, was an- other letter from the Seattle organ ization with reference to aerial mail and passenger service from Seward to the Westward and Bristol Bay points. Tn this communication di- rector Garfield said: In the recent issue of the Seward Gateway it was noticed that Messrs Davis and Mer- Till were at Seward with their Cur tis seaplane looking into the matter of establishing this service. It is hoped that they may make a trip from Seward to Bristol Bay points and return for the purpose of obtain ing data relative to air conditions, landing facilities, etc., also for esti-

mating the cost.


 If this should be done the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce suggests that the Seward Chamber compile this data and adopt a resolution calling the attention of the Railway Mail Service to the necessity of the route and of it's support by the govern. ment. If this action is taken, it is suggested the Seattle chamber re, ceive a copy of the resolution ac- companied by the data referred to as a basis for cooperation and as sistance Mir. Garfield pointed out this is one of the several matters which he called to the attention of the local chamber during his recent visit in town.
 Constructing Landing Fields.
 From the Alaska Road Commis- sion office at Juneau, Jas. c. Steese, president, a communication was re- ceived concerning airplane landing fields and seaplane moorings in the vicinity of Seward. The Seward let ter, in which this matter was taken up with this department, has been referred to the Territorial Board of Commissioners for consideration in the light of recent legislation, it was stated
 Continuing the letter reads: The Alaska Road Commission is merely the operatin agency of the Territorial Board and is now engaged upon the constructor of authorized airplane landing fields in the 2nd and 4th divisions. Conditions in the 3rd di- vision are still being investigated by R. J. Sommers, Territorial highway engineer, and to date no locations have been approved in the 3rd divi- sion.
