VERNON

One of the most delightful trips
imaginable was that taken by Miss
Elsie E. Smith, of Nebraska; Miss
Bernice Claire McCallum, of Min
nesota, and Mrs. Alice H. Ross dur
ing their stay. here with the: Univer-
sity of Virginia, to Monticello, the
home of Thomas Jefferson, the i'm
posing, yet plainly elegant, Colonial
mansion, which he planned in his
boyhood and finally constructed upon
a wooded mountain that sweeps
down to the peaceful valley which
was his plantation and surrounded
on all sides by the most delightful
picturesque scenery, overlooking the
city of Charlottesville. From the
time one drives in at the gate and
entrance lodge, up the One-way
graveled road, the eye takes in sur
passing beauty of trees, shrubbery,
and wild flowers for which Historic
Virginia. A halt is made and on the
right are a number of visitors at
the famous Jefferson graveyard,
said to be one of the most beautiful
in existence. The tall shaft of
white marble on which is inscribed
in his own words: Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson, author of the
Declaration of American Independ-
ence of the Statute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom, and father of the
University of Virginia, is the center
of attraction. Many other tOmbs are
noticeable of the Jefferson and Ran
dolph families. A short distance
away the mansion-the patriotic
shrine maintained by voluntary con-
tributions from the patriots of Amer
lea to the Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial Foundation with a number of
other smaller but beautiful build
ings, tsands out in all it's glory. Of
its thirty-three rooms, twelve on the
first floor, ont including the base
ment filled with the most beautiful
and costly relics of several genera
tions, are open to the public. Some
of the most striking objects of his
ingenuity are the clock with weights
attached, his bed between two
rooms and so it could be hoisted or
lowered at will, the One-way stair
cases, the alcoves for, the beds, the
scroll work and mantels brought
grom Europe and the ceiling sur
mounted with an eagle and sur
rounded by stars-all objects of ad-
miration. The mansion was packed
with visitors and the guides (col-
ored) were very hospitable and po-
lite. In the rambles over the we'll
kept lawns were to be seen the law
office, Honey Moon Cottage, where
he lived for a time, while Monticel-
10 was in process of construction,
thirty-two years from 1910 to 1902,
and the observatory, where he sat
with his telescope and watched the
building of the University of Vir-
ginia which he planned. 1t was a
most delightful visit and life long
desire of the writer. Her friends on
the trip are California school teach
ers and Miss MacCullOm has taught
in Spain.

CROP CONDITIONS
ALONG ATLANTIC
COAST IMPROVING
TCorfinuca from First Pagrl

LONFAAhee0 gfNHF E'N% -
The watermelon acreage in the
late shipping States increased 30
per cent compared with last year
and total melon acreage is largest
on record. Shipments are still ex-
tremely heavy from Georgia. Prices
in northern markets are about S1OO
a car lower on some sizes compared
with last season. Condition of the
crop for July was about average and
nearly the same as in June but
somewhat better than in July year
ago.
Early apples are in moderate sup
ply and market quality is improving
with the progress of the season. New
Jersey Williams sold at 81 a bushel
in Boston. Midwestern Olderburgs
brought $3.50 in various markets but
general range of Transparents and
other early varieties was S1.25 to
S1.75 in eastern markets. Although
the commercial crop promises to be
nearly the same as in 1929, the in
dicated production in the North At
lantic region is nearly One-third lar
ger than that of year ago and
slightly more than average. The
light crop of Baldwins, the leading
variety in New York State, affects
the prospects for the late market.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania ex-
pect crops exceeding the five-year
average and New England promises
an output larger than last year or
the average, but the southern and
midwestern crops are short. Prices
already range somewhat higher in
the middlewestern markets than in
the East.
Although the peach crop is pos
sibly equal to that of 1929, more
than half the indicated production is
in California which fact places good
eastern peaches in favorable posi-
ton. New York has better than
average crop, likewise New England
but conditions are rather unpromis-
ing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
the Middle West. Shipping season
has advanced as far north as North
Carolina. Hileys from that State
brought tops of SIS in New York City
on six-basket crates in mid-July.
Sales in producing sections ranged
$3.50 to So.
About half the current supply of
carlot lettuce is from New York
State. Supply and demand is re-
ported moderate in leading markets
with prices slightly lowe rat wide
range of 25 cents to 81 per crate.
Lettuce of fair quality sold at so
cents or more in most cities.

blood and then cannibalistic tenden-
cy becomes a vice.
For birds 1920 weeks old, on
range, at least a 71s foot hopper
should be provided for each 100
birds. This will allow at least Is
feet of feeding space per 100 birds.
When they go into the laying house
in the fall of the year a 10 foot
hopper should be provided for each
100 pullets.
1t is also desirable to have wa
ter fountain at each end of the
trough so that the birds will not
have to waste so much energy in
going to other places in the house
for their water supply. Remember
that $50 of the body weight of the
bird is water and $50 of the weight
of the egg is water; therefore, 1t is
very essential that the proper
amount of feeding space and plenty
of water be provided for the pullets
and hens if maximum and economic
egg production is to be expected.

Cannibalism is often caused by IN
sufficient hopper space being pro
vided for the birds. Chickens having
a desire to eat will begin to peck
at the ones eating at the hopper,
the feathers will be injured often
times causing bleeding. AS result
of this the birds get taste of the

MANY SIGNS MUTHATED

Because many persons thought
Iessly use the road and trail signs in
the national forests as targets,
carve their initials in the signs, or
otherwise mutilate them, the Forest
Service is put to extra expense in

showed as many as SO per cent of
the signs mutilated in one forest two
years after they had been erected.

loss of life are naturally more impor-
tant than the loss of money or valu-
ables-but the loss of neither is nee
essary if the proper precautions are
taken.
1t is peculiar how the knowledge
that people are keeping money hidden
about the house travels to the ears of
the night prowler-but nevertheless
it is a fact-and these homes are the
choice prospects on the robbers list
BY using the services offered by

DOING GOOD WORK

Mellon interests who have had and
have at the present time considerable
political influence in Washington.
The aluminium interests have been
able through high protective tariff
on their products to exploit practi-
cally every family i'm America buying

The coalition group also refused to
give the lumber barOns and exploit
ers a tariff on both lumber and ce-
ment-products used by all folks

of the ordinary man instead of those
who tie up with special interests.

HITS MINNESOTA PLAN

Senator Peter Norbeck of South Da-
kota, writes to the editor of the Farm
err and Breeder, Minneapolis, giving
his views on the farm relief problem
and incidentally raps the so-called
Minnesota Plan" in the following
words:
You are quite right. This fight is
entirely up to the farmers. If they
cannot grasp the meaning of equality
or are not willing to put up con-
tinual fight for same. they will have
to go without it.
There has been much better re-
spouse of late than formerly, and !
think our people are beginning to
realize. after ten long years, some
thing they should have grasped fairly
we'll in ten months.
THE Minnesota Plan of Farm Re-
lief is mainly words. 1t has refer
ence to mild relief" 1t has nc
thought of parity" Those who wrote
it did not understand. and maybe they
did not want to understand"

WOLF TRAPPING STAFF
SkOy Americana:

Editor Askov American:
According to the Duluth New Trib-
une see that the state is employing
a wolf trapping staff. This staff. to
be used for trapping wolves, is COM
posed of experienced trappers who
claim they can trap wolves cheaper
than the present county system is
doing today.
The wolf trapping staff believes
they can save the state money by their
new system, yet they demand large
salaries in doing so. Where is the
saving in this new system? If these
men can trap wolves so cheaply and
conveniently. why hasn't the state
brought their system into use before?
Minnesota pays fifteen dollars boun-
ty on wolves while our neighboring
state of Wisconsin pays double this
amount. l do not see why the wolf
trapping staff wouldn't be more
profitable in a state like Wisconsin
if their system is so cheap and prac-
teal
| still maintain the bounty system OF
our state is the best.

Mile Laos County Times: In the
latter days of the great Roman empire
the people who had grown rich from
the labor of the masses of the people,
imported slaves to do the work on
the farms and in the factories, while
the Roman citizen was thus crowded
off from the land and forced into the
cities in a hunt for chance to make
a living. When the barbaric tribes
invaded the country there was nobody
willing to fight for country that had
destroyed their opportunity to make
a living and the masses of people well
coined the conquerOrs as friends who
could treat them no worse than they
had been treated. The importation of
Mexican and Filipino laborers into
the United States to replace white
men is giving hint of the beginning
of the same conditions in this country.

THE LONDON CONFERENCE

Millions of people all over the civil
lied world are hoping for some bene-
fits from the conference of nations at
London where they are trying to les
sen the chance for war. European
nations and America are continually
spending more money for war arma-
ments, building large battleshipS at
a cost of 35 to so millions of dollars
per ship, and in a few years junking
same, as according to many experts of
modern warfare these large ships are
considered obsolete. This has the re-
suit of piling up more and more taxes
on the backs of the people and con-
tinually increasing the hazards of war
as history proves that the nations
building up the greatest war ma
chimes have gone to defeat and some
times decay. Excellent examples of
this are the Spanish Armada, Ma
poleon, and Kaiser Wilhelm. Pre-
mier J. Ramsay Macdonald. the great
leader for. international peace. de-
serves the united support of the peo-
pie of the world.

THERE Is A REASON

The BroOks-Coleman street car bill,
special privilege legislation put over
in 1921. is responsible for one of the
scandals in Minnesota political his
tory. 1t has caused to a great extent
the political death of some of Mime
sofas political luminaries and no
doubt will retire few more in the
next election because of the failure
of many Legislators to vote for the re-
peal of same.
Under this law the street car COM
panies have been able to practically
double the street car fares i'm Mime
apOlis, st. Paul and Duluth, from sc
to 10c per ride. 1t has destroyed the
home rule practices in reference to
the street cars and put the juris-
diction into the hands of the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission, where
the special interests very much pre-
ferred to have it for obvious reasons.
The street car company operates
some of the Twin City busses which
were given tax reduction by the last
legislature of 1870. The fact of the
matter is that the bus tax reduction
bill is first cousin to the Brooks
Coleman bill and of course got the
o. X. of the boys in the legislature
who favor special interests for what
they can get out Of it and because
they figure that that is the easiest
way in which to be reelected to office.
1t might be interesting for the farm
ers of Minnesota to study the methods
of the street car company and various
other groups who are getting special
privileges from the legislature. They
rarely express their opinions direct
through the press or on the public
platform, but they do seem to be able
to get results. There is reason.

WORKING PEOPLE
TO BUILD UP OWN
POLITICAL PARTY
County Conventions Being Held Over
State Preparatory to State Farmer.
Labor Convention at st. Paul,
March % and %; Floyd Olson I'm
Demand.
BY H. G.. TEIGAN

ST. Louis county Farmer-LabO rites
held a rousing convention in Duluth
on Sunday, March 2. The meeting
was called to endorse legislative can
didates and to select delegates to the
state convention.
Floyd B. Olson, Hennepin county
attorney and VIM. E. McEwen, editor
vention shortly after the delegates
had assembled. Both speakers urged
Independent political action as the
proper method for achieving success
upon the political field. There is
only one way for the working people
to achieve their ends upon the politi-
cal field and that is to build up a
political party of their own" said
Mr. Olson.
There were about 200 delegates in
attendance and every part of the coun-
ty was represented The gathering
was the most enthusiastic Farmer
Labor convention ever held in ST.
Louis county. Indications are that
all of the delegates chosen to repre-
sent the county at the state conven-
ton will be in attendance when it
takes place on March 27 and %.
LeSueur Folks Want Olson.
Frank Nyblom, county chairman of
LeSueur county, writes the state office
of the Farmer-LabOr association that
his county will be found among those
giving large majorities to the Farmer
Labor ticket next November What
is desired at this time is that a good
meeting be held at LeSueur or at some
other point in the county prior to the
holding of the state convention. 1--WE
should like to have Floyd Olson give
a talk here some Saturday afternoon
says Nyblom. No doubt Mr.. Olson will
arrange to be with the LeSueur
boosters of the Farmer-Labor cause
as Mr.. Nyblom requests.
Even in conservative old Iowa the
cry is being heard to come over and
help them establish a state Farmer
Labor party. Gale A. Plagman, di-
rector of organization for the farmers
of Iowa, asks that the Minnesota
Farmer-Labor association render as
sistance in launching Farmer-Labor
party there. To show that he means
what he says, Plagman encloses re.
