DAIRYING WOULD BENEFIT

Philippine Islands independence is
an important question before Congress
today. The Philippine natives are
anxious to get their freedom. During
the Woodrow Wilson administration
they were promised this much cher
ished desire, but to date they are still
Uncle Sans subjects, due largely to
the sugar interests which profit to a
very high degree by their preferen-
tial tariff position on sugar which is
an important item on the islands.
The dairy industry of the United
States is interested i'm this question
from an economic standpoint, besides
it being a matter of justice. Tropical
oils are being imported here i'm large
quantities under free tariff from the
islands and used in the manufacture
Of oleomargarine and other butter sub
stituteS that come into competition
with good dairy butter. Philippine
independence, we believe, should be
granted as these people were promised
that both when they were taken over
from Spain, and as above mentioned.

EDITORS PROFIT

This years convention Of the Min
nesota Editorial Association which
was held in Minneapolis Friday and
Saturday was well attended and the
program was most excellent. Since
the association acquired field sec
rotary three years ago and got down
to more business, interest in the work
has grown by leaps and bounds and
the annual conventions now are much
more than just two days of visiting.
The time is taken up with worth while
discussions by able men and address,
es are delivered by leaders in the ma
tion-all in all making it a good meet
ing to attend from which all of the
editors can profit. Sam S. Haislet
is the able field secretary and l.. A.
Rossman of the Grand Rapids Herald,
was the president the past year. Mr..
Rossman is a worker and did much
to promote the interests of the assO-
citation. John f. Casey of the Jordan
Independent, was elected president
for this year.
The Minnesota Editorial Association
is the strongest body of state press
organizations in the country in point
of membership.

FULL PUBLICITY FOR AVIATION
minneapolis Starr

Once more Colonel Lindberg serves
aviation. His active participation
in the investigation into the west
coast tragedy in which 16 persons
lost their lives will give the public
confidence in the inquiry and its find
ings.
Aviation is still in the stage of de-
velopment where many of it's enthus-
lasts want to conceal its shortcomings.
The railroads. not so long ago, tried
to prevent information about wrecks
reaching the public. They learned
that was a foolish policy. Full pub
licity helped convince the public that
greater precautions would he taken
in the future than in the past
An unexplained airplane wreck, or
one that is not explained satisfactor-
lily, does much to make people suspi-
cious of aviation and its management
Most men and women will hesitate
to trust their lives to any mode of
travel the operations and mishaps Of
which are shrouded in mystery.

THE JOB YOU HAVE Is GOOD

Don't get dissatisfied with the job
you have for it is alright. even Though
ut times il may seem that the other
fellows is the best and the one with
the most chance for advancement.
We read frequently in the papers
about various men being honored-
men who have made good in their
individual lines of work Master
farmers are being honored all over
the country; an engineer. Herbert
Hoover is now the president of the
United States: Babe Ruth has made
an unprecedented record in baseball
and draws more money from his ac-
tivitieS than the president of the Unit
ed States; bank messengers get - be
bank presidents: round house clerks
get to be high in official capacity on
the railroads. Ii all goes to show that
ii is possible, by the dint of ones eff
forts, to hew a high niche in the walls
of worldly accomplishments.

he will be able to see he is doing
wrong. If any dairy farmer says he
cannot afford to buy butter while it is
high, he will not be able to buy when
it is cheap, because he must remem-
Der he is not the only one that is so
near-sighted.
This is the only solution l have for
the butterfat problem and / know
from experience that the best is to
weed, breed, and feed About eight
years. ago we were in the same fix
when butterfat dropped in January,
1922, down to 35c a pound, and we
had not needed those three words
then. But consequently the Askov
Cow Testing association was started.
| don't doubt that butter prices will
come back again, but l like to say to
you farmers locally who have not
given the testing association a serious
thought before, join us now, and be
prepared when something like this
happens again, as dairying will al
ways have its ups and downs.
Yours for weed, breed, and feed,

RECOMMENDS TESTING
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
In reading the article in last Amer
lean from Mr.. Striegl and also the
editorial in regard to the present low
price of butterfat | say that | agree,
but l believe one most important point
was overlooked, namely cost of prOduc-
ton, and / believe that many who re-
Gently jumped into dairying will burn
their fingers and jump out as quickly
again, just because the cost of pro-
duction will be too high. But l don't
doubt that those who in time needed
the three words, tweed, breed, and
feed" will come out all right. We
know there is no money in pro-
ducing butterfat at present prices, but
l think there is still living in it, and
at least it keeps us occupied and out
of mischief l think this is better
than some of our city cousins are do
ing at present-those who are walk
ing the streets looking for work.
In my opinion every dairy farmer
should find out which of his cows are
paying their way, and this can only
be done by testing. The old way of
looking into the bucket to see how
much milk is something of the past,
and there is no better time than just
now to make up your mind to join a
sible to do so. If no local association,
get tested anyway somehow, and next
buy or breed to bull little better
than you think you can afford to, and
last but not least, if you have 300
pound COWS or better, don't stint those
of production. You are simply raising
it. | know this to be so from actual
experience This is the reason
think it is most important, as it has
been shown time and again we are not
able to control prices, but let us be
prepared to meet the drop whenever
it comes and there is only one way
to do this and that is weed, breed,
and feed, and don't start from the
wrong end, by feeding 200 lb. cows,
but start in the order named. Dairy
farming is, and always will be, the
best kind of farming, or as Mr.. Streigl
says, about the only thing we can do
here.
In regard to dairy farmers eating
cleo. | say shame on the man who
is doing that. He has no right to
kick on present price of butterfat, as
he is doing all he can to keep it down.
The only right he has is to turn
around and kick himself and / hope
he does that so good and hard that

GET QUANTITY PRICES

On the front page of this weeks
issue is letter from Chris Frederik-
sen, chairman of the board of super
contains some thoughts that are both
logical and timely.
The editor of the American, who is
also at present mayer of Askov village,
has talked over this proposition with
Mr.. FrederikSen once or twice, being
in accord with his suggestions. If
we can reduce the expenditures in
our townships and villages we can
also reduce the taxes and we don't
know of any one who objects to the lat
ter at this time, While the savings, if
Mr.. Frederiksen' suggestions of pool
ing machinery orders are carried out,
may not be so great, nevertheless from
1919 to $3.50 is not to be ignored and
every dollar saved is as much as a
dollar earned
If a meeting is called and the pro-
posed organization is effected there
is also other matters than just pur-
chaSes to be looked into and protited
from. The county tractor is not al
ways procurable when wanted and
perhaps private parties might be in
duced 10 purchase such machinery
and do work for several townships if
the townships themselves DO not care
10 make the purchase.
The township elections ale to be
held in March and it might be well to
have meeting some time in Febru-
airy, or before the election if there is
enough interest for it, The meeting
could be held at central point,
Hinckley or Sandstone. Write if you
are interested, this pertains especi-
ally to township and village officers.
Opinions of any settlers and taxpayers
will of course be gladly accepted.

ANXIOUS TO HEAR STOCKWELL

For some years l have been a sub
scriber to the Public Ownership
League in Chicago, have read much
of their literature and have found
same very educational. Through this
medium | have been able to see that
the rates that are charged for cleo
tricity in this section of Pine county
are very high.
l have been a member of the Farm
ers' Exchange, cooperative organi-
cation in Pine City for some time,
and our electric bills for running the
motor used in grinding of feds have
run up so high that the Exchange
members have at times seriously con-
sidered putting in a plant of our own.
The power rate in Pine City is much
higher than the lighting rate is in
places like Ontario, Canada, Seattle,
or Tacoma
l believe farms should be electrified
here as they are in the Ontario dis
trict but the rates are almost pro-
hibitive.
Mr.. StOckwell is a well posted man
on this subject. He has had a bill
dealing with this question, allowing
the people of Minnesota to have the
privilege of vote on the state devel-
opment of power projects in several
sessions, and l am certainly going to
hear him if possible Friday evening
at Pine City.

THE JUST PORTION

Duluth business and professional
men recently had their 18th annual
Duluth day dinner at which time
prominent men spoke on the future of
their community and suggested i'm
provements, but it remained for the
Ri Rev. G. G. Bennett, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Duluth, to give
the real message of the evening. He
said in part:
IT am not interested in building
a big city, an overgrown city, but a
city of human beings. a city with lar
ger intercommunal relationships.
where the people are bound together
by mutual good will. When a man
has succeeded in business he should
eXpend his energies in behalf of the
community which gave him his sue
cess. Business as an end cannot be
considered. Consider the business of
life itself. That business is the reali-
cation that we must give to every per-
son the just portion he deserves"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-01-23

there is plenty of room for forestry
without cramping farming. When the
state becomes Overburdened with a
problem, and who will not admit that
the state of Minnesota is overburdened
with cut over idle lands, the federal
government considers it it's function
to extend aid. Experience indicates
that financially and politically the
task is too big to be handled by the
state alone"
In closing let me ask that, if there
is any question in your mind about
either phase of the subject, you in
vestigate personally before taking any
decisive action. If it were a private
corporation trying to put something
across, instead of your government
and mine, extreme caution should be
exercised. | still believe in Uncle
Sam. Do you?

ELIMINATING SUBSTITUTES

1t is only natural that the pro-
Queer of any article or product should
take the lead in the use of same and
show to the world that he believes
in his own product and thus set the
example for others to follow. So it is
with the dairy farmer, and especially
now when there is a surplus of but
ter The savings made by purchasing
and using butter substitutes is offset
by the lower price received for good
butterfat, in fact there is a loss SUI
stained by using oleOmargarine now
by the dairy farmers as whole. The
surplus of butter must be wiped out
in order to get the price of butter up.
And as to the saving it is doubtful
if there is any of that in the long
run considering the food value of good
butter compared to substitutes. Of
course if man in dire necessity must
resort to cheaper foods there can be
no reprimanding him for that act,
but generally speaking it will pay the
dairy farmer well to use his own pro-
ducts and thus show to others that
he believes in it as the best food.
In this connection also it is pleas
ing to note that not one pound of but
ter substitutes is being sold over the
retail counters in Askov, in fact that
has been the case for many years.
Two or three times since the cream
cry was established here nearly
twenty years ago attempts have
been made to supply the local
trade with butter substitutes but
only for very short period and
soon it was wiped out. That rep
resents a good cooperative spirit be-
tween the general merchants and the
cooperative creamery. We under
stand that the merchants in Pine City
and Sandstone have gotten together
on a. like program and will discon-
tinue the sale of butter substitutes as
soon as their present supplies are ex-
hausted. Likely other towns in the
county are doing likewise and we will
be glad to publish such actions when
reported to us.

A RISKY BUSINESS

Gambling with other peoples money
is something that does not pay and
sooner or later those who practice
such stunts are caught at it. Just
the other day the cashier of a bank
in Gaylord was arrested. charged with
being short in his accounts somewhere
between $4,000 and 100000. the money
having been used to cover losses in
speculation. Likely there will be some
result of the Wall Street crash. 1t
sometimes takes little time to be
shown up but unless the gambler has
the money to cover his losses he is
sure to be found out

its purpose, which is to provide, out
of the public purse, sufficient in
come for the old to enable them to
enjoy the last remaining years of
their lives in such freedom from the
fear of want as they have earned by
long service for society as citizens
of the Republic.
Federal old age pensions is the
right way to approach this problem.
This would insure an adequate adj
ministration of the law to people
under all conditions and in all states.
Meanwhile every effort should be
made to enact and make effective
such laws as exist that contemplate
the pensioning of the aged in the
states. This country is able to main
tain an old age pension law, and the
long delay i'm getting it is an evil
dence of our lack of real civilization
in this country.
