PLAN CLASS PLAY

The class play entitled "And Billy
Disappeared" which was staged by
the seniors of the Hinckley school,
was huge success.
The cast was well selected for their
respective parts and with the fine
training they received under the di-
rection of Miss Hazel Oerke, English
teacher, they made a fine appearance
on the stage. There was a large
crowd out for the play. such that the
Hinckley theatre was filled to it's ca
pacity. A seven piece orchestra fur
nished the music.

Editor Askov American:

A writer in last weeks edition of
the Askov American accused me Of
"slamming the farmer" He based
his accusation ON my letter to the
American the previous week.
A brief review of my letter will dis
close that l outlined the plan of the
proposed Farmers Cooperative
creamery and l publicly gave my
moral support to such project. If
that is "slamming the farmer, then
every farmer, business man, organ
izer, or anyone, who has ever, or is
now supporting the organization of a
Farmers Cooperative creamery, have
been, or are "slamming the farmer.
If that is what you call "slamming
the farmer, l have lots of company.
To quote portion of my letter, 1
said, 81 appreciate the fact that the
east and north end of Windemere
township have an excellent number
of progressive farmers; farmers that
will look into the future and lay their
plans for steady progress" Is
that "slamming the farmer?" 1 will
let you judge, kind reader.
Since my letter was published, 1
have had farmers come in every day
and commend me on the attitude l
took, and some of those farmers are
shareholders and regular patrons of
a Farmers Cooperative creamery.
What Irregularities exist in human
nature? )
No, my friend, l am not "slamming
the farmer" and if there exists
businessman anywhere in small
village throughout Minnesota or the
United States that is "slamming the
farmer, he is not worthy of being
classified as business man.
The writer of the letter in last
weeks issue also brought up the SUBJ
ject of the migration of farmers to
the city and he connected my name
unfavorably with that circumstance.
have nothing to do with it but l
will say this: Is it not well for the
producer of farm products that the
non-producing factor increases and
the producing factor decreases dur
ing these times when there is ten
dency toward a surplus or an over
supply in farm products? But then
again, the migration of farmers to
the cities is offset by the number
of people moving back to the farms
combined with the increase in acre
age of the present farms which in
all, accomplishes a logical economical
adjustment.
The debate at this time, however,
concerns a creamery, and if l may
waive all accusations of "slamming
the farmers" for a moment, l want
to bring out one more point and that
is, that figures available prove that
to build a cooperative creamery at
Sturgeon Lake will not increase the
financial burdens of the farmers at
all. Even if the cream deliveries
from the parts of Windemere town
ship that the criticisms are the hot
test, are excluded, there is enough
cream going out to centralizers from
the surrounding community that if
that cream was marketed through a
farmers cooperative creamery 10
cally, the gain thereby made would
pay for the creamery within a few
years.

week, April 16 to 81. Why be kind
