MERGER { ADED
BY SWAN TON

w. /. Swanton's campaign for the
presidency of the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations, so far untouched
by any factional troubles over the
Harley p. Wilson traction merger
plan, is now on.
The platform on which he will run
includes a general program of civic
improvement, turing model
schools, parks, Fairgrounds. bathing
pools, national representation and
reduced taxation, but it is silent on
the big issue which may decide the
federation election, the merger in
dorsement.
Reports are. however, thai Swan
ton, who is civil engineer and who
comes from the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association, will be sup
ported by the antimerger, anti
higher street car fares group. while
the supporters of the Wilson plan
will concentrate on another candi-
date.
The Swanton candidacy will be
pushed by a committee of Is from
the Columbia Heights Citizens As
ISOLATION. headed by William b.
Todd. The appeal on behalf of his
contest was sent out yesterday by
H. c. Phillips, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, and Fl. w. Austin. secre-
tary of the American Association of
Engineers.

MANY APPROVE
FIGHT AGAINST
GHFARES

The Peoples Legislative Service,
which has been soliciting letters
from Senators and Representatives
opposing the proposed increase in
car fares announced today that 10
replies expressing disapproval of
the increase in greater or lesser de-
gree have been received.
Thirty-nine Senators and Repre-
sentatives were solicited for objec-
tions, Mercer G. Johnston, director
of the legislative service said today.
Nineteen of these sent direct re-
plies by telegraph or letter. Nine
of the kilograms could not be de.
livered.
All DisapprOve
"All kilograms received manifested
disapproval," Johnston declared, "in
greater or lesser degree, most of
them very strong disapproval Of the
effort to increase fares during the
tendency of the merger.
mot single word of protest
against the action taken by the
Peoples Legislative Service in be-
half of the Washington car riders
was received. On the contrary
much hearty commentator.
tBut for the intense preoccupa.
ton of many of those to whom we
telegraphed, in our opinion, the
favorable response would have been
much greater. We had much better
reason for believing that many of
those from whom we did not hear
men like Senator La Toilette, for
instance-would be opposed to the
fare boost than number of those
from whom we did hear"
Want To Know More
Johnston today made public
several additional replies which
have been received since the close
of the fare hearings. They were
from Senator James Couzens, of
Michigan; Ralph Gilbert, of Ken
lucky; Representative Ernest W..
Gibson of Vermont and Representa-
tive William p. Cole of Maryland.
None of the replies made public
today was an unqualified protest
against the higher fares. Each OF
the legislators explained that he did
not wish to enter a blanket protest
without knowing more about the
situation.

Although we have had only a
few cold days so far this fall. we
are already beginning to read in
the papers of deaths from carbon
monoxide poisoning. Usually it is
some man tinkering with his car
and leaving the garage doors clos
ed because of the chill winds. The
family misses him, makes search,
and finds him dead. Carbon mon
oxide from the automobile ex-
haust is a deadly, quick acting
poison. Under no circumstances
should person remain in small
garage with his engine running
and the doors closed.
But opening the doors is not
always enough. When there is ne
breeze, death may occur in an
open garage when the engine is
left running. If it is necessary
to run the engine, it is safest. to
go outside, or go to larger, well
ventilated garage. Deaths have al
so been reported where persons
were driving in closed cars, or
sitting in parked cars with the en-
gine running, if the wind happen
ed to be in such a direction that

West Branch Address
In his West Branch speech,
speaking amid the farm surround
ings to which he was born, Mr..
Hoover again took up the subjects
of Federal farm board and inn
provement of waterways as out
standing measures in his plan of
farm relief. Discussing the func-
tions of the farm board, he said:
"My fundamental concept of
agriculture is one controlled by
its own members, organized to
fight it's own economic battles and
to determine its own destinies.
Nor do l speak of organization in
the narrow sense of traditional
farm co-operatives or pools, but in
the much wider sense of sound
marketing organization.
'fWe propose with government
al assistance, and an initial ai-
vance of capital, to enable the
agricultural industry to reach a
statute of modern business oper-
alton by which the farmer will at
tain his independence and main
tain his individuality.

1927 Minnesota Dairy
Income Breaks Records
Sale of Butterfat Nets Farmers Of
State Over 113 Millions De-
mand Ahead of Production

Exceeding the income from any
other farm product, Minnesota
dairy farmers received $II3, ,6I3,-
474 for butterfat during the year
of 1927, an increase of $12, ,3Ns,-
141 over the payments of 1926,
N. j. Holmberg, state commission
er of agriculture and dairy and
food, announced Saturday.
The total amount received for
butter manufacture in Minnesota
in 1926 was 46.76 cents per pound,
while in the year 1927 SIS, ,754, ,427
over the amount paid in 1926, but
ter production increasing 7,178,-
694 pounds to $275, 1877, 1856
pounds in 1927.
Increases in both prices and pro-
duction account for the additions
to the farm income. The average
price per pound for butterfat paid
in 1926 was 46.76 cents, while in
1927 it was 51.21, Mr.. Holmberg's
tabulations for Minnesota's $50
creameries shows.
apparently we haven't reached
the top yet" Mr.. Hofmberg COM
mented. "The best sign however,
seems to be the fact that farmers
are increasing production to meet
the market demands without pro-
portionate increase in cows. In
other words each cow is now paying
better and the 'boarders' or cows
which do not pay their keep are on
the decrease"
Mr.. Holmberg also pointed to
the increase in the average prize
as indicative of good conditions in
the dairy industry Minnesota's
biggest industry today. He said
that the increasing uses for dairy
products and the increasing per
capita consumption of butter, milk
and cheese in the nation are keep
ing the demand ahead of produc-
tion.
The average price paid for but

Agricultural Notes
Flax Prospect Cut
By Presence of Rust

Flax Prospect Cut
BY Presence of Rust
Flax rust has caused heavy losses
in many parts of Minnesota this
year. Crops that appeared to be
bumpers-that gave splendid
prospect for splendid returns
were attacked by the rust and
yields in many instances cut one
half or more.
Rust is an old and erratic di-
sease. Losses from it vary great
ly from season to season and even
from field to field, says H. A.
Rodenhiser of the division of plant
pathology, University of Mime
sofa. It lives all its life on the
flax plant alone, first appearing
the latter part of June in the guise
of small orange-yellow spots on the
leaves and young stems. This is
the summer stage of the disease.
Later as the plants begin to ripen
larger black areas succeed the or
ange colored spots. This is the
black or overwintering stage of the
disease.
Plant doctors have made some
interesting discoveries about flax
rust. For one thing they have
found that it may be transmitted
from one crop to the next if bits
of straw bearing the black stage
are sown with the seed. For an
other, they long ago established
the fact that the rust may live
over winter on old infected straw
and stubble, often left in the field,
and thus cause centers of infection
for the crop the next year. They
have found, too, that as rust usual
ly becomes abundant about the
middle of July or later, the late
sown fax is more likely to be in
jured than the early sown.
These findings go to show that
the disease is preventable. In
any event, losses can be materially
reduced by planting only seed that
has been thoroughly cleaned, by
rotating crops so that the centers
of infection will be broken up and
destroyed, and by planting early.
Wilt resistant varieties of flax
originated at University Farm are
unfortunately, susceptible to the
flax rust. But strains of flax
which are highly resistant and i'm
mune both to rust and wilt are
being developed and soon will be
available. These strains are en-
tirely free from rust and wilt, while
other varieties i'll The same plot
may be heavily diseased and even
killed, says Mr.. Rodenhiser.
Special Bulletin No. 100 tells all
about flax rust and how it may be
held in check and eventually sub
dued. Write for a copy of the

Farm, St. Paul.

Grade Potatoes to
Get Better Prices

Heralding the 1928 potato crop
as the largest ever produced in this
country, staffmen of the division
of farm management and agricul-
tural economics, University of Min
nesota, foresee a low price range
throughout the season and strong
ly advise the careful grading of the
tubers on farm so that producers
can benefit by the better price
paid for the best quality stock.
"Use the culls and lower grades
for livestock feed, sell them to
starch factories, or throw them
away" these economists say: "In
any event prices will be low, but
it seems probable that larger to-
tai return for the whole crop will
be realized by sorting and discard
ing than it attempts are made to
market the lower grades. The
chances are that if this is done
ruinous prices even for the better
grades will result. :"
The university men urge in
creased attention to grading for
another reason. Minnesota po-
tatoes are quoted on the Chicago
market at from Is to 20 cents per
hundredweight less than potatoes
from neighboring states. "This
difference is due principally to diff
ference in grading" the staffmen
say. eff Minnesota potatoes grad
ed U. S. No. 1 consistently, this
differential would soon disappear.
With a big crop in Minnesota this
year offers the logical opportunity
to encourage rigid grading to es-
tablish reputation for Minnesota
potatoes and to put them on a par
ity with potatoes from other
states. ~

Mr.. Hoouer Outlines Practical
Plan For Relief Of Farmers

On two occasions since ibeeom-
ing the Republican candidate for
President, Herbert Hoover has
stated publicly his conception of
the farm problem and his plans
for its relief. One of these oc-
casions was his acceptance adj
dress at Palo Alto, California. The
other was his visit to the place OF
his birth, West Branch, Iowa.
On each OCCASION Mr.. Hoover
went several steps in advance of
the party platform and of previous
treatment of this subject in the
councils of his party. He has
shown depth of knowledge of the
real problem that is not equalled
by any other public man in Amer
lea. His great ability has permit
ted him to go to the very bottom of
the difficulty to find solution
that will apply not only now but
through all the future.
In his addresses on the farm
problem Mr.. Hoover has outlined
a threefoli plan of agricultural re-
lief: first, retention and revision
upward of the protective tariff ;
second, improvement of eur in
land waterways and route to the
sea; third, reorganization of our
marketing system with govern
ment assistance to protect the
farmer from seasonal gluts and
periodical surpluses.
Speech of Acceptance
Mr.. Hoover's speech of accept
ance outlined this threefold plan
in the following words:
can adequate tariff is the foun-
dation of farm relief. I would
use my office and influence to give
the farmer the full benefit of our
historic tariff policy. We have
pledged ourselves to make such re-
visions in the tariff laws as may be
necessary to provide real protec-
ton against shiftings of economic
tides in our various industries.
"A large portion of the spread
between what the farmer receives
for his products and what the
ultimate consumer pays is due to
increased transportation charges
Increase in railway rates has been
one of the penalties of the war.

great system of inland waterways,
