RESIDENCE RULING

Citizens Leader Denounces
Move for Removal of
Restriction.

A bill introduced in the House by
Representative Gibson of Vermont
last Monday, which would remove the
three-year resident rule governing
presidential appointments of District
government officials was denounced as
an insult to the people of the District
OF Columbia by James d. Yaden, pres
ldent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. before the Dahlgren Ter
ace Citizens Association last night.

quainted with the governmental prob

made without reservation, although he
knew the District government is far
from perfect. 1t could not be per
feet, he added, stating that when an
organization is 100 per cent perfect
things are in a bad way.
There is too much destructive crit
lcism of the District government, he
stated, and it is the duty of organized
citizenship to make conditions better.
He appealed to the citizens to work
hard to better conditions, explaining
that resolution passing and letter writ
ing are but the beginning of the work
necessary for the citizens to get what
they want. The groups that get what
they want are the ones that carry
their fight into Congress, he added.
Says Jealousy Helpful.
Other organizations are jealous of
the citizens associations, but this
jealousy is helpful, he continued, as it
is encouraging and lets us know
that we are not kidding ourselves. "
The citizens associations have a
greater influence and a better oppor-
tunity to do good at present than ever
before, he concluded.

viding for the removal of the three

STATE ROAD SYSTEM

In a Western Minnesota paper
we find the declaration that "the
Babcock propaganda is pretty hard
to understand. One bunch of
staunch supporters says Minnesota
is tagging behind in the matter of
good roads, and another bunch is
continually pointing with pride to
our wonderful system of roads. I"

sistent in these two types of state
ments, if they were made by
the same person. Both are true.

April Crop Report

The condition of fall sown
winter wheat and rye in Minnesota
April 1, 1927, due to plenty of
snow covering during the winter,
is considerably better than on Apr
il 1, one year ago, according to
Paul H. Kirk, federal statistician
for the Minnesota Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service.
Winter wheat condition April 1
was placed at 81 per cent of norm
al, compared with 81 per cent re-
ported one year ago. This excel
lent condition is due to the good
growth last fall and plenty of snow
covering during the winter. There
perhaps has been some damage,
due to alternate freezing and thaw-
ing, but it was not great, based on
the April reports.
Rye condition April 1 was SO
per cent of normal, compared with
81 per cent April 1, one year ago.
The condition of rye, while good,
is not as high as winter wheat, be-
cause in certain sections of the
state rye was seeded rather late
and did not make as rapid or Wig
orous fall growth as wheat did.
While the pasture condition of
88 per cent of normal this April,
compared with "a per cent one
year ago, does not reflect actual
pasturage it does indicate that
soil moisture and other factors
are much more favorable than one
year ago when in many places
spring pasture was poor due to
lack of sufficient moisture.
Cash rents for different classes
of land show little change from
one year ago, either in the price
paid or the value of land rented.
The same is true of farm wages.

"The disease enters the larger
branches and the trunk through
diseased twigs, water sprouts, and
wounds. Bark cankers are form

these cankers increase in size very
rapidly, girdling and killing the
branches. When cankers are form

the trees may be killed or the cam

rots, which will eventually kill

Agricultural Notes
Dairy Cash Tops Farm List

The gross value of dairy prod
ucts produced in the United States
far exceeds that of any other farm
crop, declares the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute. In 1926, the
total value of dairy products was
$2,760,000,00. Next in import
ance was corn, followed in order
by hogs, hay and forage. The
value of dairy products in 1926
was 1876 per cent more than that
of cotton, 80 per cent greater
than that of hogs and worth more
than the total value of all wheat,
fruits, potatoes, oats and tobacco
produced in this country in 1926.
Because the cost of feeding was
lower the past year than for the
year before, the net income that
can be credited to the dairy in
dustry has shown even more of
an increase than the figures above
indicate. Farm prices for corn in
the first eleven months of 1926
averaged 81 per cent less than the
some months of 1925. And oats
were IA per cent cheaper. These
decreases are more than a full off
set for the increase of 5 per cent
in the reported farm price of loose
hay.
Prices for purchased concen-
trates for dairy cow rations in
1926 remained lower than the
year before, although by smaller
difference than in the period COW
cred by the foregoing figures for
prices received by farmers for
grains. Labor and other elements
of cost may have been slightly
higher during 1926 than in 1925,
but the change was hardly large
enough to be measurable.

roads has more nearly kept pace
with trunk highway improvement
in Minnesota than in most other
states. That is some reason why
car operating costs are lower in
Minnesota than in other states,
even states that have more paving
than Minnesota.
It is generally conceded by peo-
pie familiar with construction
costs and unit prices, that Mime
sofia, thanks to Mr.. Babcock's abil-
ity and integrity, has been getting
more roads per dollar than perhaps
any other state in the Union, and
has done more for the average
road user than the average state
has done.
But that is not getting away from
the fact that many states have been
spending larger funds for road i'm
provements than we have, and
many of them have paved much
greater mileages, Illinois has about
seven times as much paving as Min
nesota. Wisconsin three times as
much, Missouri twice as much, To-
wa is just getting started and will
be far ahead of US in a couple of
years.
Nor should the splendid results
achieved blind us to the fact that
we are hardly keeping pace with
the rapid growth in traffic, and
that we have many hundred miles
of trunk highway where traffic is
so heavy that it is impossible to
maintain a gravel surface at any
cost, and paving such routes would
be much more economical.
It is stated that good roads saved
Minnesota motorists $50,000,000 in
car operating costs last year. When
we remember that we have 637,-
900 cars registered in the state
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-04-21

and that the outlay for cars and
upkeep in 1926 was $300,000,00O,
we can easily believe that if these
cars had been driven as many
miles on the roads of 1920, the OPP
Grating cost would have been more
than $350,000,000.
Further road Improvement could
cut the cost of operating these cars
to 25O,000,000 a year. The fact
that we have obtained good re-
suits is the best reason why we
should continue the program, and
that program should include the
paving of every highway in the
state, including crossroads, which
aid the farmer in getting his pro-
duce to market at the lowest pos
sible cost.-Mankato Free Press.
