Dawes Gets Credit
For Farm Relief Bill

Continued from Page One)
the McNary- Haugen bill improved the
cotton situation, prices having in
creased as soon as the senate passed
the farm bill. Last week, he said,
10000 bales Of spot cotton were
bought as compared with the 10000
bales of spot cotton bought the CORE
spending week Of last year.
In the house the bill was slowly
being steam-rollered through, today.
The announcement by Representa-
tive Aswell, democrat, of Louisiana, at
the close Of Yesterdays session that
he will move for the substitution of
his own farm measure for the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill is considered a
challenge, which probably will result
in real test Of strength in the vot-
ing on the motion. If his motion is
lost then another substitution---that
Of the Curtis-Crisp bill--will be at
tempted.
To Vote Friday.
After consideration of amendments
to the bill its supporters expect TO
have the final vote on the measure by
Friday or Saturday, and If the legisla-
ton is retained in the form approved
by the senate, so no conference is ne
cessitated, it will be sent to the White
House immediately.
The belief that President Coolidge
will veto the bill was voiced at yes
terday's session by several representa-
tives. Many members said they would
vote for the bill because they think
the president will veto it, Representa-
tive O'Connor, democrat, of Louisi-
ana, said: "Others are planning 70
vote for it, although they openly adj
nit it is unconstitutional"
Cotton Mills Object.
An announcement by the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers
that the governors of five New Eng
land states had urged the twenty
eight representatives of their five
states to vote against the bill came as
an eleventh hour assault on the legis
lation. The association is sponsoring
drive against the measure.
Now that the branch banking bill
has passed the senate, the grouping
back of the farm bill shows some in
dications of split. 1t was log roll
ing bargain between the eastern bank
er senators and the western farm"
enators that passed both bills through
the senate.
Since that time Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, banker, has de-
livered his attack ON the McNary-
Haugen bill, and the insurgents have
become frightened of the branch
banking act. The passage Of the
farm relief" bill in the house, is not
therefore, the cut and dried affair it
was in the senate. But its propon-
onts feel sure of putting it across.
Must Kid John Farmer.
The bill is demanded by political
exigencies. There is widespread mis-
cry among the farmers. and though
the bill does not, in the opinion Of
those who have studied it, do much
for the farmer, it may make some
farmers think their representatives
are doing something for them. which
is all that politics requires.

GRADUAL PROGRESS
/. EXPECTED IN RADIO.
SIS
Commission Is Looking to
Practice for Test of
June ! Changes.

Gradual rather than immediate i'm
provement in the broadcasting situa-
ton is expected by the Federal Radio
Commission to result from the new
ALLEGATIONS which will "re-log" prac-
tically all broadcasting stations after
June I.
The new licenses, the commission
advises. prescribe powers, waves and
hour divisions which are to be tested
by actual practice. 1t is presumed
that the realignment of stations will
reduce interference to a minimum and
that few changes will be necessitated.
but the commission does not promise
the radio public ideal conditions at
once.
"The commission recognizes" says
an official statement, that the scheme
Of reallocation which does not at the
outset elimiante at least 400 broad
casting stations cannot possibly put an
end to interference. Accordingly, it
regards the new ALLEGATIONS, not as
creating in any sense an ideal broad
casting situation, but as providing for
the first time a sound basis for radio
service to the listener. With the CO.
operation OF the public and the broad
casters, the commission believes that
1t will be possible to improve condi-
tions progressively by an orderly proc
ess OF actual experience.
Until such experience has been
gained, both the listeners and the
broadcasters are urged to exercise pa

have to 're.Iog' his receiving set, and
may find considerable difficulty in To-
eating all the stations he desires to
hear. The broadcasters Will doubtless
find that many of their listeners are
at first somewhat bewildered by the
changes in frequencies. 1t Is the De-
lief of the commission. however. that
within a very few weeks the mate
rial reduction of local or regional inter
ference, the redistribution of frequen-
cics so as to clear most of the broad
casting channels, and the decrease OF
power for stations in residential dis
tricts, will combine to render radio
reception in general very much better
than it has been in long time"
As to the reallocations themselves,
it is noteworthy that the large and
long established stations, generally
conceded as rendering the most valu-
able and widest services. have in gen
eral suffered slightly, although their
powers have been cut in many cases
and they have often been required to
shift their frequencies slightly. AT
least 400 stations have been ordered
to divide time with each other, two
and three being assigned to the same
channel. Into the extreme lower end
of the broadcast band, or below 220
meters. some 200 stations have been
crowded.
That there will be specific instances
of dissatisfaction with the commits
sion's new requirements may be eX-
pected. Objections may be aired in
public hearings in Washington. 1t is
far from improbable that some may

JORDAN VICTOR IN
COUNTY SEAT ROW

Judge C. M. Tiff last Thursday
denied an application Of the town of
Lydia for an injunction to stop the
county board from considering a petit
ton which Jordan residents have pre-
scented in the county seat battle in
Scott county.
In denying the application Judge
Tiff dissolved a temporary restrain
ing order issued last Wednesday pre-
venting the county board from con-
sidering Jordan's petition.
j. A. Mayer, Scott county auditor,
testified as to the circumstances sur
rounding filing Of the papers by Jor-
dan residents.
The Jordan county committee,
which is seeking to have Scott coun-
tvs seat removed from Shakopee to
Jordan, sent out so teams of canvas
sers and in day and half obtained
500 more signatures than were requir-
ed on their petition, and filed it with
the county auditor.
Lydia started circulation of its petit
ton two weeks earlier than Jordan
but found the going much slower.
Lydia contends that it has priority
because its notice of intention to cir
culate a petition was filed first.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
BROWN FARM BUREAU

The Brown County Farm Bureau
will hold its annual meeting at the
High school auditorium, in Sleepy
Eye, Saturday, December 10. 1t is
almost 10 years since the Farm Bur-
eau was organized in Brown county.
On December 10, 1917, the first meet
ing was held to take steps for the or
ganization of the Farm Bureau. Dur
ing the elapsed time the organization
has gone through many trying situa-
tions, but today has membership as
large as or slightly larger than the
"flush" days during the war. So far
the largest part of the membership
was generally centered in the town.
ships around Sleepy Eye and the
city of Sleepy Eye. During the last
membership drive; however, the men,
bership in Springfield and Comfrey
and the territory adjoining has been
increased enough to bring it on a par
with the central part of the county.
Several townships in the eastern part
Of the county still have a very low
membership in the county organiza-
tion.
The annual meeting will be almost
an all-day affair. The township d.
rectors will meet at $50 a. M, and
transact the regular business in their
charge. At 1O:45 o'clock, the gener-
al meeting will begin. The annual
report of the county agent and home
demonstration agent, the financial re-
port of the secretary and treasurer
will take up the first part of the pro-
gram.
Lunch will be served at noon to all
members and their families present.
The Farm Bureau extends an invita-
ton to all business men of the county
to come for the monday lunch. They
are also invited to the meeting, but
if they cannot be present for both
they should not miss the feed.
Mrs. Ashley of Madelia, an active
worker in home and community work
will be one Of the afternoon speakers.
Peder Peterson, an active farmer of
Cedar Falls, Iowa, will be the ''head
liner" for the day. Eva Blair, form

Redwood County has the honor Of
having as one of its prominent farm
ers and cooperators in extension work
one of the sixteen 1927 Master Farm
ers recently announced. Mr.. Shelf
field, the winner of this honor, has
been very active in several county ex-
tension projects, including the car
load baby beef contest. Mrs. Shelf
field has always been active in the
Home Project work and Alden was a
very successful baby beef calf club
member-one of the nine representa-
tives at the Junior Livestock Show
from Redwood County this year.
"This marks the close of another
years achievements in County Ex-
tension work. An effort will be made
to strengthen the work where it has
fallen short and to conduct a more
effective, far-reaching extension pro-
gram in 1928 than the one just COM
pleted. The successes of this year,
attained only with the splendid CO.
operation and untiring efforts of the
many active leaders who have taken
part and helped in sponsoring the
various phases of the County Exten-
sion program, are an inspiration to
do better work.

the appreciation expressed by the
many people involved in the County
Extension program this year is re-
