Last winter, when it looked as
if the Minnesota Potato Growers
exchange was not going to get
more than one half of its auticipat-
ed tonnage, went out into the
country, when the temperature
was cold enough to freeze an Es-
kimo and blazed the old sawdust
trail with sixty five meetings thai
brought in 5000 cars of potatoes.
At some of these meetings /

Honestly, Hard boiled as /

l heard him talk. He cussed the
farmers, swore at them, used vile
language, abused them shook his
fists at them, bullied them, and
discussed everything but the econ
omics of the problem. And they
made a big hit with them-until
they woke up the next morning
and realized that they had received
nothing the night before except a
free emotional spree -
- In this case we would like to
have the farmers note that Mr..
Rubinow freely says that the reas-
on why they succeeded in getting
the potatoes out of the farmers
was by talking them into San

up the next morning with an un-
pleasant realization of the effects.

Early Indian Farming
Described By BaImer

That no less than twenty eight
definite farm practices were deyel-
oped and followed by the American
Indians north of Mexico is the as
sertion Of Frank e, Balmer, State
leader of agricultural agents, in an
article on The Farmer and Min
nesota History" the quarterly
magazine ot the state historical
society. 5.
The Indians, declared Mr.. Bal,
mer, reproduced wild plants. pro
pagated cultivated varieties of
wild plants, practised plant breed
ing, planted seeds in hills or rows,
used fertilizers, broke and pulvcr-

Have any members of your
family had tuberculosis, or have
you ever been exposed to the dis
ease.for a prolonged period9 This
is the question people of the coun-
ty are urged to ask themselves,
and if the answer is yes, exam
ination is strongly recommended.
The Minnesota Public Health
Association, which sponsors the

alton of persons who have been in
contact with tuberculosis, points
out that the disease is contagious
through close and extended expos
ures such as exists in the home.
Because none of the early symp-
toms are alarming, the Association
further explains, people infected
with the disease often do not feel
sick enough to consult a doctor
until it has passed the incipient
stage and is more difficult to check.
Periodic examination is RECON-
mended as the surest method Of
discovering the disease early.
No treatment will be given at the

adopted by the white farmer, and
dried corn by air circulation.
The Red men discovered the
narcotic effect of tobacco smoke;
cured tobacco by artificial heat;
made syrup and sugar; preserved
fruits, berries, and meats; buried
vegetables for purposes of pres.
servation; extracted oil from nuts;
extracted paints and dyes and
stains; and utilized vegetable fibers
by spinning and weaving. They
gave the white man the priceless
legacy of Indian Corn, of which
they raised no less than a million
bushels yearly; contributed sweet
corn, pop corn, tobacco, pumpk.
Eins, squashes, and some varieties
of beans; cultivated, spun, and
wove cotton; practiced irrigation;
performed varieties of agricultural
undertakings comparatively; kept
meat in cold storage or refriger.
alton, that is in snow; and devel
roped agriculture to such degree
in large regions that their subsist.
ence chiefly depended on it.
After discussing the general
back ground of the agriculture OF
the American Indian, Mr.. Balmer
traces the history of the farming
development of the Minnesota In
dians, then sketches the story of
the beginnings of agriculture by
white men in Minnesota, and
makes a plea for the study OF the
farmer in relation to general Min.
nesota history. He urges the col
lection and preservation Of the rec
ords of Minnesota farming. calling
upon farmers organizations, indi-
viduals, and all others interested
ITO cooperate with the Minnesota
Historical society, which is at
tempting to build up a large col
lection of letters, diaries, account
books, and other records that

for some two or three times their
worth upon the regular market
values, but unfortunately forthem
and very fortunately yfor the farm
ers, they did not succeed in selling
sufficient stock to take up the. op-
ton, and the deal fell through,
but it is now being revived, in
case that Secretary Jardine sue
ceeds id getting his One hundred
million dollar bill through Cong
ress. The farmers have already
had experience with one of the
Sapiro enterprises, the Minnesota
Potato Exchange, and the expert
ence has been bitter one, but un
fortunately, it is hard to have
them realize that potatoes was
only one of the commodities orga
nized at that time, and the present
proposal is to organize all of the
farmers commodities and putthem
in the hands of one great big sell
ing corporation. which is being
financed by the government by
this one hundred million dollar
loan and managed by Aaron Sap.
iro and his associates. 1t is rather
difficult to get the farmers to re
alize fully the serious nature of
this plan, should it go through,
and the enormous profits for the
promoters, which is capable of be
ing made on an enterprise of that
kind, explains the reason why it
is that the supporters of Mr.. Sci
Wig is able to spend so much mon
ey in this district at the present
moment The Potato Exchange
cost the farmers of Red River Val
ley around a million dollars and
enabled the middleman of the
large cities 10 make a great deal
more. And when it is understood
that potatoes is only one Of the
commodities, it can be easily re
allied the amount of money there
is in it for the promoters, and how
much they can afford to spend to
elect men like Mr. Selvig. who
has been their friend and willing
to assist them in putting every
thing over, which they requested.
