Only $1,75O,0OO of $780,
100000 Lent, Still IN

GOOD CROP STIMULUS
Budd Sees Biggest Year for
Hill Road in Volume of
Agricultural Yield

st. Paul, July 22.-Minnesota's
farm land situation, already i'm
proved over a few years ago, is
going to become better with the
harvest.
Eugene Meyer, chairman of the
War Finance corporation, brought
that forecast to the Twin Cities
Tuesday night.
AS a basis for his forecast, Mr..
Meyer pointed out that of $780,
100000 lent to Northwest farmers
by the corporation, only $780,
900 remains unpaid.
Good crops are virtually assur-
ed for the Northwest, Mr.. Meyer
believes, and the harvesting of
these crops will be a "tremen-
dous factor" in lettering the farm
land situation in the Northwest ter
ritory.
Coincident with Mr.. Meyers
forecast, Ralph Budd, president of
the Great Northern railroad, pre-
dlcted in Chicago Tuesday night
that "This year is going to be the
biggest in volume of agricultural
products that the Great Northern
has been called on to handle.
I'VE are prepared to handle
Its, 100000 bushels of grain" Mr..
Budd said. eve have assembled
10000 box cars in the Northwest
and expect to see many more tray
cling westward soon for the ship
ment of the bumper CROP"
An Associated Press dispatch
from Chicago quoted Mr.. Budd
as saying that the farm income of
Minnesota, North and South Dako-
ia and Montana would be $780,
100000 more this year than it was
last year.

Mr. Meyer, who also is chair

Wafer Supply Is
Found Sanitary
Minnesota Department of Health
Examines Samples From
Local System

There has been some criticism
of the Sank Centre water supply
the claim being made that there
was an odor from the water ano
the users became somewhat al
armed.
This odor was general in al
parts of the city. To settle mat
tiers samples taken at variou.
points of the system were sent tt
the Minnesota Department o.
Health for examination and analy
sis. The following is the repor
received "a short time ago:
This water supply is OBJ
tanned from six eight-inch
tubular wells, averaging 40
feet in depth, located at the
pump station. The water is
pumped to a low receiving
reservoir and from there to
an elevated steel tank from
which it is distributed for
public consumption. Data
relative to this supply are
contained in the reports Of
previous Investigations made
by this Division. The last
investigation was undertaken
on December 1, 1925, at
which time the sanitary as
pect of the supply was consid-
cred satisfactory. No chang
es have been made in the
construction of the supply
since that date which would
affect the sanitary aspect.
Analytical date: Samples
Nos. 26228 to 1928, inclu-
sive, represent water col
lected from the pump station
and from various points on
the distribution system. The
% archaeological examinations
of these SAMPLES show the
water to be of good sanitary
quality as evidenced by the
low bacterial counts and the
absence of the B. coli group
in 100 c. C. amounts in all
samples. The physical ex-
animation of Sample No.
26228 shows a water with
low turbidity, moderate col
or, and no odor. The chemi-
cal examination shows hard
water with a high iron con-
tent.
~ The field survey showed
conditions which were salts

point of view, and in the
analytical results, indications
of contamination were not
found in the water on this
date. This water supply is
considered safe for public
consumption. -a

Residing in Territory Ad-
iacent to Sank Centre
BARLEY AND OATS RIPE
Corn is About Two Weeks
Late But Developing
Rapidly

orally be cutting their oats ana
barley the first of next week
There has been an occasional
field of Gopher oats cut this week.
Wheat is coming along in a sat
isfactory manner and will he ready
in 10 days or two weeks.
The Twin City papers are
carrying stories of rust conditions
in various sections of the North
west. While there is a limited
amount of black rust in the ter
ritory adjacent to Sank Centre it
is not at all serious at this writ
ing.
Corn has made rapid strides in
the past 10 days. Most of it is
about two weeks behind a normal
corn year. 1t will take good
weather into late September to
make an average corn crop in
Central Minnesota.
Wednesday the Herald editor in
terviewed a number of farmers re-
siding in territory adjacent to
Sank Centre relative to the outlook
of small grains and corn. The con-
illusions follow:
Thos. Flahaven, Getty, south of
Sank Centre-There is some red
rust in the small grain; have not
seen or heard of any black rust in
this section; oats and barley are
being cut. Corn is about ten days
behind normal. There was diff
fculty in jcultivating corn this
year because of the healthy growth
of weeds before corn was large
enough for cultivation.
Henry Thierschafer, residing
six miles east of Sank Centre
There is the usual amount of red
rust. / believe there is more
black rust in my vicinity than
there has been for five years. The
crop has not been materially
damaged as yet. Oats and barley
are being cut. Corn is late but is
tasseling out. -.
Elbridge Cass, one mile south
of Sank Centre-There is plenty
of rust, both red and black, and
small grain is being damaged. The
crop will be average at best. Corn
is about two weeks behind a norm
al year.
Henry White, residing 9 miles
west of Sank Centre-There II
some red rust, but have not dis
covered or heard of any black
rust in this territory. Barley and
oat cutting will start next week.
The prospects for a crop are most
gratifying. Corn is a couple OF
weeks late.
Nick Orth, farm four miles east
of Sank Centre-There is some
red rust on my farm, but haven't
discovered any black rust. Barley
and oats are still green, but will
likely be ready in a week. It will
take at least two weeks for wheat.
Corn in this section is about three
weeks late.
Joseph Neirman, five miles
northwest of Sank Centre There
is little red rust in the oats !;
haven't heard of any black rust ;,
The prospect on the whole is
most satisfactory; will commence
cutting oats and barley the first
of the week. Corn is couple of
weeks late but coming along fine.
Henry Bergman, residing just
south of the city limits-I haven't
seen any black rust in my crop;
there is probably the usual amount
of red rust. I am not worried
over the rust situation. Corn

GOLDEN DAYS
Dream of Employers; Want
Labor to Yield War
Profit

New York.-In the hope that they
can re-establish war profits, Massa-
chusetts textile manufacturers claim
that the 48-hour week and high" la
Dor costs are driving cotton mills
South or out of business, says the
Textile Worker, official magazine Of
the United Workers of America.
This labor magazine proves by sta
tistics that workers are producing
more than before the war at lower
yard or pound cost. In 1914 the
weaver operated from to IL looms
for from So to S12 for 54-hour week.
The weaver now operates from 6 to
AZ looms, and in some instances 81,
for SIC to $28 for 48-hour week.
He produces from rs per cent to 500
per cent more in 1927 than in 1914 at
from so to 100 per cent more cost for
labor, but the yard or pound cost is
lower when the difference in unit pro-
duction is considered
"In view of these facts" says the
Textile Worker, ''some of our cotton
employers are using every means, fair
and foul, to restore the 54-hour week.
All benefits accruing from improve
ments on mill machinery go to the
manufacturers. Ours is the only in
dustry where this practice is main
tained
"The textile manufacturer who adj
vocates long hours is generally the
incompetent and inefficient War
profits are his dream Reducing
wages is his hobby Wartime over
head expense is maintained and the
horde of misfts he took under his
wing during war days are on his pay
roll. There they must remain because
he gave his word in the lodge room OF
in the sanctum Of some politician that
those recommended would have Jobs
in perpetuity.
"These were the days when excess
profits could be fixed so as to make
gifts to friends with a pull. This
plan reduced excess profits reports t.
the government and at the same Tins
made them solid with their political
and lodge associates.
Everybody paid but the prohteel
and now some Of these profteers ar,
believing for public sympathy"

COLLECTIVE BAR
GAINING

The principle Of collective bargain
ing originated with the workers. 1t
is their contribution to the advance
ment and promotion Of industrial
peace and tranquility. They have
consistently appealed for the substi-
tuition of collective bargaining for
force, domination and industrial
strife in industry The workers have
sought to promote understanding and
stabilize the industrial situation
through the acceptance and use of
collective bargaining.
It is the workers plan and their
contention that misunderstanding be-
tween employers and employees can be
eliminated, that the causes which
make for industrial strife can be
greatly reduced and that efficiency,
cooperation and good will can be
brought about. The breach between
employers and employees can be
bridged by personal contact, frank

arrived at through collective bargain
ing. Through the operation Of col
lective bargaining wages have been
increased, the hours Of labor reduced,
tolerable conditions of workshops and
factories improved, a higher standard
Of workmanship and output made
possible and an Improvement in the
Imorale and standards Of living among
