The United States is now undergo

If machines can be made to do the

out of life, and still leave an oppor-

ITALY'S SHAM PARLIAMENT
(St. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press)


Mussolini has approved the appor-
tionment of representation to the new
Italian parliament-if body which is
only consultive and without legisla-
tive-power can be dignified by that
term. The last of the parliaments
elected under the constitution of 1848
passed out of existence last week. 1t
was but half a legislature at that,
since many of the members opposed
to MussOlini withdrew in 1924 and
forfeited their seats. The remainder
merely acted to legalize the de-
crees of the dictator.
The new body will be even more of
a sham. Labor syndicates, employ
ers' associations and other organiza-
tions recognized by Mussolini are per-
mitted to nominate 500 names as can
didates for seats in the two houses.
The lists will be submitted to the
Grand Council, which will Gull out the
undesired and add others if it chooses.
When the list has been cut to 400 it
will be placed before a limited num-
Der of recognized voters who will
have the privilege of voting yes or
no on the list as whole. No other
candidates will be permitted and the
voter has no selection.
Americans jibe at Congress for its
mediocrity, its wordiness, its procras-
tination. Congress is guilty of all
these things, but still it remains an
Independent law-making body, consti-
give effect to their views of the public
interest.

PINE COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ACTIVITIES
BY w. F. HAMMARGREN
County Agent.

Cooperative creamery meetings are
being held throughout the county.
Most of these farmer creameries make
it a rule to pay out everything every
month. There are still some paying
dividends. The Hinckley Cooperative
Creamery is paying two cents divi-
dend and the Brook Park Creamery
has paid out one and one half cent
dividend per pound of butterfat de-
livered to the creamery. Some other
creameries may announce dividends
at their annual meetings. Farmers
not supporting these creameries are
missing an opportunity to help build
up the best paying institution in Pine
county.

MOgens Tuxen, tester of the Askov
association reports that a pure bred
Holstein COW owned by Harry Morten-
sen, north of Askov produced II
pounds of butterfat in November and
76 pounds during the month of De-
cember. This same cow was very
consistent producer during 1927 and
1928. Producing 1852 pounds of
milk containing GA pounds of fat or
figuring it in pounds of butter she
produced S421a pounds of butter. She
has good chance to repeat this year,
from information available she is the
highest producing COW in the county
at the present time.

Progress of Eastern Pine county is

years ago farmers institutes were
held at ClOverton and Markville. The
only milk available for coffee was
canned milk. Now we find a coopera-

pounds of butter year. Seventy per
cent of which is Land OLakes. Just
one thing accomplished by the County

Anton Racer of Munich township re-
ports very good crop of red clover
seed. He has about 1000 pounds of
this seed for sale. Surely this crop
will help out, especially, when pota-
toes failed as a cash crop. Home
grown seed of this kind is to be pre-
ferred over imported seed. Conditions
in Pine county are very favorable for
the production of grass seeds and may
well be considered by more farmers as
another cash crop.

CAMPAIGN METHODS

Geo w. Empey of Hinckley, the
man who in the last state legislative
campaign in Pine county wrote the
article, Don't Swap Horses in the
Middlerof the Stream" has been APP
pointed engroSsing clerk in the leg
islature. and thus has got his COM
pensation for the part he played in
the campaign. 1t will be remembered
that the editor of the American, who
was a candidate for the legislature.
gave out a tax expose showing that
Mr. Empey had made a big saving
on his taxes delinquent for five years
on his residence in the village of
Hinckley, under the law for which
Representative Therrien was taking
so much credit-Chapter 119, H. F..
No. 1876. Senator Thwing of Grand
Rapids. is the father of the law. With
the new job Mr. Empey has, it is hop
ed that he will hereafter be able to
pay his taxes in full and not get in on
80 per cent saving, for the regular
taxpayers and those who pay up in
full each year are the ones who have
those who are cute and smart enough
to figure out loopholes-those who
perhaps live above their means and
have to figure out some stunts to
get by
1t appeared that some folks thought
that the tax expose which was pub
lished in the American Nov. 1st and
also sent out in circular form might
not be correct-a thought evidently
worked up by the opposition. No
little time and effort was expended
in getting it correct and if it had not
been so there was plenty of legal
talent and money on the other side
to have made it interesting for the
writer. Remember that we stand
back of every word that appeared in
that tax expose. Things put on black
and white have to be correct or the
author may be brought to account.
COMMISSIONING or cheap talk is much
easier to get away with.
A circular was gotten out by the
opposition a day before the fall cleo
tiOn. That was a different thing and
several statements contained therein
would look bad if analysed
Mr.. Therrien received a majority
vote at the election and that settles
the election with US, although there
was certainly an elegant chance to
have contested on the grounds of that
circular which contained false ana
misleading statements. 1t got by
however and got him many votes and
that was the object Mr. Therrien is
now recovering from an operation and
when he gets back to work and on his
feet again we may take up this cir
cular and analyZe it in the columns
cedure.
Though used in a political cam
paign the literature must be truthful
and must be able to stand the test
of an examination in or out of the
campaign. This pulling the wool
over the eyes of the public, any
thing to get by and using practi-
cally any conceivable means to at
tain the goal must be looked into
and it won't hurt any to have it
analized a little out of the campaign
when the excitement does not run so
high, so that the public is guarded
against the same kind of tactics in
another campaign. 1t must be able
to stand the light of day or it should
not be used.

this includes the production of both
the old hens and pullets. Eggs, when
eggs are high make it possible to
make profit on poultry. Duplicating
summer conditions as near as pos

hens in the house are necessary to
get results like this. Hens, running
around in the barnyard in the winter,

stated, largely confine their activi-
ties to the roots and to the worms
can be attributed a number of
plant disorders, each a little differ
ent from the other, and each can
be laid to one of the more numer-
Gus species OF nematode worms.
NJ e h o d s of distinguishing the
worm diseases were told.
Physiological diseases of plants
are quite similar to the same dis
orders in animals. They are most
ly due to some improper growing
condition, such as poor soil and
poor light, which both tend to
impart weakened condition to
the growing plant and make it sub
ject to other ailments. Plants that
are planted in the wrong climate
or are in other ways subjected to
conditions not suited to that par
ticular species, are easily subject
to a score Of physiological all
ments.
Mr.. Anderson did not treat on
the doctoring or preventative meas
ures of the plant diseases. but CON
fined himself to explaining the
characteristics of the diseases, the
harm that each worked and how
the garden layman could define
each. The treatment of plant dis
orders will be covered at a later
lecture by Mr. Anderson.

PLANT DISEASES
LECTURED ON BY
]. P. ANDERSON

An entertaining and instructive
lecture was delivered by J. p. An
derson to the members of the Jul
neau Garden Club and a score of
non-member garden growers last
evening in the Legion Dugout. Mr..
Anderson's talk had to deal in par
ticular with Diseases of Plants"
AT the start Anderson classified
the main plant ailments in three
divisions; diseases that are caused
by the various fungi growths, the
nematode worm disease and physi-
illogical diseases. These ailments
were covered in the order given,
and these diseases, Mr.. Anderson
explained, are the chief causes of
plant disorders not only here, but
In the South as we'll.
Plant parasites were not touched
upon as these were explained as
being not a disease but a foreign
agency which attaches itself 10
all plants and works its destruc-
tive harm living off the plant
growth and that it was not a plant
condition in itself that brought the
destructiveness. Parasites will be
covered in a later lecture by Mr..
Anderson

plain that the blighted potato, mill

der this group. Plants in the
north, such as potatoes and other
tuber vegetables, are an easy prey
to fungi and to enable the grower
to distinguish this disease, Mr. An
derson gave several pointers to
go BY that would enable them to
ascertain if the ailment was fungi

gical diseases comprise large
