EDITORS TAKE A HAND

Minnesota editors have adopted
the methods that have heretofore
been used by big business, and pow
ertully financed organizations in
| submitting their demands upon Con-
gress. This time about 125 editors
OF rural newspapers in Minnesota
with The circulation of their news
papers totalling 495,350, with ap-
proximately million and a half
readers, have issued a signed "State-
ment 20 Congress" which has ap-
peared in page advertisement IN
/ the Washington newspapers. "This
statement" the advertisement says,
is paid for entirely by the above
Northwest newspapers.
The purpose of the advertisement
is demand that the tariff bill now
before Congress be passed with as
little delay as possible" The state
ment says that the farm readers de-
mand the passage of the bill Ac-
cording to the statement:
"They regard the early massage of
the Tariff Bill, with its increased
and comprehensive farm rates, as
more important. from the standpoint
of farm prosperity, than anything
else Congress could do at this time.
"This belief of many Minnesota
farmers is based on two things:
"F'irst-The prospect for larger
American market for farm products,
which will come through the oper-
alton of these new farm tariff rates.
"Second-An understanding Of
how this large and more stable mar
ket will fit into the prosperity pro-
gram accompanying the new mar
keting systems to be developed un-
der the terms and with the assis-
tance of the Agricultural Marketing
act"
The statement expresses disbelief
in the theory that agriculture is
fighting industrial rates. The fol-
lowing paragraph indicates very
clearly that Minnesota editors arel
not in sympathy with the coalition
that is seeking to make a tariff for
farmers only. On this point the
statement says:
eve do not believe the Tariff Bill
should now be held up indefinitely
to slash the industrial rates OF the
1922 law, as it will be delayed IL
there is an attempt to make indis-
criminate changes. There would be
delays not only in the Senate, but IN
the House, and especially In the
Conference Committee"
The Minnesota editors have gone
to bat in favor of their views IN
very practical way, and they are
performing a great public service
Hats off to them!

WEIGH YOUR MILK AND FEED
By Prof. Walter B. Krueck

By Prof. walter b. hrueck
Pay the cow for her product as
the creamery man pays you. You
would not like to receive the same
milk check as your neighbor, if you
were delivering more milk and
richer milk than he.
But too many COWS receive the
same pay from their owners, re-
gardless of how much they produce.
And right there is where great
many dairymen can save money on
their feed bills.
They say that it is hard to tell
from the length of frogs legs just
how far he can jump. Although we
know that certain characteristics in
dicate the ability of COWS to pro-
duce a large amount of milk, we
cannot judge accurately by merely
looking at them. Therefore, the
only safe and profitable way to
judge our cows money making ca
pacity is to place both the raw and
the finished products on the scales.
That many men have had erron-
eous ideas of the proft-making abil-
ity of various COWS in their herds
has been definitely demonstrated in
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
ton work. There are many cases on
record in which the supposedly un-
profitable COW has proved to be the
most profitable COW in the herd and
vice versa.
When all COWS are fed the same
amounts we may be limiting the
ability of the high producing COW to
return maximum profits. On the
other hand we are undoubtably was
ting feed on the low producing cow

WILD TURKEYS
COMING BACK

From various parts of the country
for the last few years there have
come reports that the wild turkey,
almost extinct except in thickly
wooded mountainous and inacces-
sible regions, is becoming more nu-
merous, and is even venturing near
er the settlements than has been its
habit. One of these birds, shot near
the Presidents Summer Camp in
Virginia, was sent to the White
House by one of President Hoover's
neighbors on the Rapidan at
Thanksgiving.
The apparent comeback Of the
wild turkey, after being almost ex-
tinct, is the cause of much interest
on the part Of nature lovers and
spOrtSmen.

SUSSEX COUNTY LEADS In
CONTRIBUTION FOR POOR HOUSE

I There are about so inmates in
the Kent County Home or $5.68 will
be contributed to each for clothing
New Castle county lags. There
seems to be an understanding in
New Castle county that the inmates
are well supplied with clothing. AT
ter inquiring into the matter |
learned from Superintendent Nc
Farlin that all clothing was sup
piled the inmates except hats and
coats. 1 asked how they got their
hats and coats, the reply was: "If
they haven't friends to give them
any, they do without" 1 trust there
will be enough friends to the poor
in New Castle county to continue to
send in contributions so that the
inmates will not be disappointed at
Christmas time.
New Castle county is (no doubt
spending the money appropriated by
the legislature to the very best ad-
vantage. On investigation, learn
ed that 100000 of their allotment
was turned over to charity, and with
the amount remained, considering
the expense of taking care of 265
inmates) much credit is due Super
intendent McFarlin and his very eff
ficient wife for their splendid man.
agement in that institution. The
fault, no doubt is due to the insuffi-
cient amount appropriated by the
county.
The following amount has been
sent in from the ministers of New
Castle county thus far:

ASKING ABOUT FARM
LANDS IN MINNESOTA.

Inquiries about Minnesota farm
lands are coming in to the office OF
the Ten Thousand Lake Greater Min
nesota Association at an increasing
rate, officials of that organization re-
ported this week.
During the past month alone, Sol
different persons from other states
wrote to the Association for informa-
ton about farming opportunities in
Minnesota, indicating that they were
considering coming to Minnesota to
live. Virtually all sections Of the
United States, and even foreign coun-
tries were representa- among those who
sought information about Minnesota's
agricultural resources.
These inquiries are coming in with
little or no advertising to attract
them" Roy E. Dunn, president of the
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Mime
sofa Association, said when the
comprehensive advertising program
stressing our agricultural resources,
planned by the association, begins to
make itself felt, the inquiries will null
tiply.
Minnesota has agricultural re-
sources which few states can equal.
Farmers all over the country right now
are looking for opportunities such as
we can offer, and if we advertise them,
many will come to Minnesota"
The association now is engaged in
campaign to raise 100000 for a more
comprehensive advertising campaign
for Minnesota, one that will stress the
states agricultural resources as well as
its recreational attractions. Every
county in the state will benefit from
this new program of development, MIR.
Dunn said, and the association expects
much additional help from the farm
ing communities especially. Local
committees in the various counties
now are raising the funds to make the
enlarged advertising program possible.
Increased funds are needed for the
association this year not only because
of the agricultural advertising under
taken, MIR. Dunn explained, but the
state must carry on more aggressive
advertising campaign for tourists if
Minnesota is to hold its present posi-
ton. Other states, notably Michigan,
California, Colorado and Florida are
raising huge sums this year for adver-
Using.
Michigan, which is one of Mime
sofas keenest competitors, is raising
nearly half million dollars to adver-
tise its, attractions. Minnesota, even
to hold its present position, must in
crease its efforts, MIR. Dunn said.
Tourists spent $90,000,000 in Min
nesota last summer" he pointed out.
That is too big return to the state
to risk losing for sum so small as
100000"

MUST SUE ON WAR
ms. BY MAY %

Legion members are requested TO
call this article, prepared by Peter 8.
Rash of the Minnesota Legion rehap-
ilitation committee, to the attention of
veterans affected by the ruling in
volved. Department rehabilitation
chairman A. B. Kapplin of Duluth
will value cooperation in securing
publicity for this data, as less than
two weeks remain before the time
limit expires.
Comrade Rash writes: Congress in
1928 enacted a law which provides
that no suit may be brought against
the government under Section 10 OF
the World War Veterans Act, 1924,
of War Risk Insurance unless brought
within six years after the right ac-
crued for which claim is made, or
within one year from the date of the
approval of the amendatory act.
This provides that claims for per-
manent total disability or death bene-
fits Under War Risk Insurance Con-
tracts will outlaw (unleSS action Is
started before May 20, 1920 where the
claim arose more than six years ago.
"Any veteran who carried war risk
insurance while in the service and
who believes that he became per-
manently and totally disabled while
his insurance was in force may have
claim against the government on
which a suit can be brought in spite
of the fact that the bureau has de-
MED his claim for insurance benefits.
Here's An Example.
Gas an illustration: A veteran who
was discharged during the year 1919,
who carried war risk insurance and
stopped paying his premiums i'm
mediately on discharge The veteran
may be given a varying compensation
rating from date of discharge, but as
matter of fact he may be able to
prove that he became permanently
and totally disabled while his insur-
ance was in force.
Permanent and total disability is
defined as follows: Total disability IS
such disability that precludeS the vet
eran from following substantially
gainful occupation; this disability is
permanent when it is founded on con-
ditions which render it reasonably
certain that such disability will con-
tinue throughout life.
What Veterans Should Do.
In such case the veteran may sue
the United States in federal court on
his insurance contract and have a
jury decide whether or not he became
permanently and totally disabled be-
fore his insurance lapSed, and wheth-
er or not he may recover on his war
risk insurance.
"Ex-service men who believe they
have a claim will on request be fur
nished by Legion State Headquarters,
Old Capitol st. Paul with a question
naire. On filling out and returning
this QUESTIONABLE it will be reviewed
by a Legion committee versed In
government insurance matters which
will advise the veteran as to his
rights Prompt action is essential as
May 20 is less than two weeks away.
