LIGHT HENS NET
HIGHEST RETURNS

A. H. Olesberg. the new manager
of the Redwood Falls Cooperative
Egg and Poultry Association, called
on customers at Wood Lake last We'd
nesday. Before entering this new
line of work Mr.. Olesberg spent one
year as Farm Project expert for the
University of Minnesota and two
years as an Agriculture expert for
the U. S. Government. IN conversa-
ton with the editor he stated that he
would be glad to give his services in
any community activities.
This association paid 26 cents per
dozen for eggs that graded extra,
% cents pound for light hens and
20 cents per pound per heavy hens
the last pool. This spring there has
been a great demand for, light hens
and they have been selling at prem
ium. Light hens are commanding a
very good price at the present time.
This association is strictly a CO.
operative association operating on the
pool system. They pay Chicago and
New York prices less the actual ex-
pense of the handling.
Olesberg has introduced some new
changes at Redwood Falls which will
greatly reduce the operating expenses
of the association, thus netting the

AFTER ALL, is THERE ANY
OTHER WAY?

The senate would have none of the
McNary-Haugen plan of farm relief
which proposed to assess the producers
for the cost of dumping the crop sur
plus abroad
And now it shows that it will have
none of the Tincher plan, though the
president approved it; for it has beat
en- that measure more decisively than
it did the other.
The senate, however, adopted a
measure appropriating $225,OOO for
government help and direction in CO.
operative marketing, and it is very
likely that the house will accept this
proposal and that it will be the only
measure of farm relief that will be
produced at this session Of congress,
now rapidly drawing to close.
One objection to price~fixing is that
if it worked it would result in an en-
barrassing increase in the surplus of
some crops. No farmer would fear
over production if he felt that the
government would bolster the price
no matter what the production might
be-
Cooperation, if it could be worked
out in all crops as it is low in some,
could guard against over planting and
ver-production as we'll as enable the
organized farmers to warehouse a
surplus in fertile year against lean
year, instead of depressing prices by
dumping it on the market.
What the Western farmer is sup
posed to want is straight government
help, and it is difficult to convince him
that his best chance lies in free field
where he can help himself. 1t may
take time, but he may yet learn that
in cooperation, with government help
in organization, lies his best hope
for the future.-Duluth Herald.

MUST TELL 'EM

The Minnesota doctors had a big
meeting in St. Paul last week and i'm
ported one of the big guns of the pro-
fession to tell them that America is
the most quack-ridden nation on the
face of the earth. Why shouldn't it
be? Everything in America from
chewing gun to Christianity is "sold"
on merit of high-class truthful adver-
Using, while the medical profession
clings to moss-grown idea that truth
in medicine might lose its caste if it
were publicly proclaimed. The mod
ern craftsmanship methods are aband-
oned completely to the healers and the
quocks. If the medical profession
would realize that they are living in
the twentieth century and would junk
certain outworn traditions, they would
perform a great service 10th for the
profession and for the public. When
all is said, the plain truth is that in
this day and age of the world, and es-
pecially here in America, the public
buys advertised goods, believes in adj
vertising goods and is suspicious of
the un-advertised article Occultism
doesn't go in America, either in med
icine or motor cars.-Morris Tribune.
