A VIEW OF RUSSIA
Grand Rapids Herald-Review

A favorable indication of the future of Russia
is found in the interest of the people of that country
in the United States. visit by Russian engineers
to the mines of the Lake Superior district is not
display of Russia whskers much it is an indica-
ton of interest of intelligent men in important min
ing problems
We of the United States know little about Rus
sia What we do know is doubtless constructed
largely through our prejudices.
There several fundamentals which point the
way to the future. The present disorder of govern
ent is the fact that the Russian people have
had no experience with government. They never
took any part in it, They are very much today as
the French were following the revolution. The
monarchs have governed Russia they had gov
erned France and when self government came 1t was
tool that the people did not know how to use. The
present extremes in Russian government will doubt
less be and day that great nation will
doubtless have stable and well formed national ex-
istence 1t will either have this will be virtually
demolished
Another element in Russia's favor is the posses
sion of great natural Russia has enough
iron COAL oil and wheat to go around. AS yet its
government does not know what to do with these
things but the people will realize the power,
prosperity and happiness which come from the pos
session Of natural wealth. When that time arrives
there will be hope for the future.

WOOL PRICES FOR
1880 WILL Be Low
J. B. Wilson Says Outlook Is
Not Bright-Twenty-FOur
Cents Likely Figure
LARGE WORLD SURPLUS
Cooperative Organization Will
Handle Clip Produced in
Seventeen States

The general outlook for wool
prices this season is not hopeful,
according to J. B. Wilson, secre-
tary of the National Wool Market
ing Corporation, which is the mar
keting agency for wool organized
under direction of farm board.
There is a world surplus of
WOOL" Mr.. Wilson said 1.-THE world
market on wool is the weakest it
has been in 26 years The situa-
ton in Australia is especially bad.
J The supply there is so great that
, the clip is not being offered as a
whole, but is being offered at in
tervals."
Mr.. Wilson would not hazard a
guess at the probable American
price for wool this season, but in
timated it would not be more than
"a cents a pound for the kind of
wool produced in Minnesota, and
it might be as low as % cents.
"This is bad news to be sure"
said Mr.. Wilson, "but nothing is to
be gained by not looking at the
situation squarely.
"The work of organizing the
wool farmers into cooperative is
going forward rapidly" he said, in
] discussing the program of the Ma
tional Wool Marketing Corpora
ton. "There are 3OOO0O,O00 pounds
of wool marketed in this country
and the cooperatives affiliated with
the national setup will handle at
least 1OO,OOO,O0O pounds.
"This is assured on basis of pres
ent organization progress. Unfor-
tunately the market is going to
; be low, but the National will be
able to stabilize it to degree that
will protect the farmer GROVE"
from fluctuations and believe will
be able to get him better net
price for his product than if we
were not organized.
1--WE will handle one-third of the
wool clip in Minnesota, Iowa, North
Dakota, South Dakota. Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, Ohio, New
Mexico, Arizona, California. C~o-
gon and Washington, and we will
handle a considerable portion of
the clip in Texas, Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska.
"The organization work is being
done by the cooperatives in the
several states. The national cor
poration is merely the federation of
these state organizations. Under
the system, practically all wool is
pooled and the farmer gets final
settlement for his at the end
of the season. However, we finance
the farmer through a system of
loans.
"He can get cash for his wool to
the extent of 80 per cent of its
market value. Of this amount, the
intermediate Credit Bank provides
Is per cent and the federal farm
board advances us funds such thai
we can loan the other rs per cent.
The system is simple and the farm
er gets his cash Immediately and
without Unnecessary red tape.
"The wool is gathered up by the
state cooperatives and most of it
will be stored in the New England
states. At the end of the season,
settlement is made with the farm
er and he receives in cash what

FARM BOARD WILL FINISH FURROW
morris Tribune)

Opponents of the Farm Board program dilate
upon the enormous task which they have undertaken
and friends of the Board will readily agree that it
is big job, all right all right But the Farm Board
demonstrating from day to day that they have set
their hand to the pillow and intend to finish the fur
row. and are entitled to every confidence. For that
reason petty criticism should restrain itself. When
the Board asks for reduction OF wheat acreage, 1t
makes reasonable request and should not be crit
icized because of the problems involved which every
one knows large. The reduction, if accomplish
ed, will be voluntary and far as our observation
goes in our limited field, note considerable
tendency the part of farmers tc comply with this
request. Chairman Legges statement that more
money can be made by planting four of wheat
instead of five is apparently being accepted as good
gospel which it is.

THE MAN FROM HOME
Fairfax Standard

Fairfax Standard
Over near Sacred Heart in the County of
RenvilIe, on the farm which, with additions
and improvements he still owns, was born
the man who has made such splendid record
for himself in his home community and
throughout the state, that he is deemed
worthy of consideration for the highest hon
or the state has to offer-that of Governor.
He is Nathaniel j. Holmberg, who at the
present time and for the past ten years has
held the office of State Commissioner of Ag
riculture, and Dairy and Food Departments.
Mr. Holmberg is the son of sturdy Swedish
parents, who emigrated from Sweden, mar
ried and raised their family of eight children
in log house on the Sacred Heart farm.
There Nathaniel, the fifth child, went to
country school when he could be spared from
the farm, from there he went to high school
in Renville, and then to the Agricultural
Farm School, from which he graduated in
1902
In 1908 he married Hilda M. Peterson, a
Renville County girl, and they have one
daughter, Edith, born in 1911. Mr.. Holm
berg, Republican like his father, first en-
tered public life as Supervisor on the school
board of Sacred Heart township for three
years. In 1907 he was elected Represen-
tative in the State Legislature, was reelected
in 1909, IL, '13 and in 1914 became a can
didate for the State Senate to which office
he was elected
Mr.. Holmberg has the courage of his
convictions, and is known for the honesty and
justice of those convictions. He says he be-
ieveS in economy-but not painfully so-and
in good roads-but not extravagantly so.

TT ALL DEPENDS

In an address delivered recently at Fall River,
Mass, former Mayor Seasongood, of Cincinnati, who
was the first head of the city under the commission
form of government outlined the benefits which he
believed had to Cincinnati because of this
change in the form of its government But in con-
cusion Mayor Seasongood declared that "in the end
form will itself bring about good municipal gov
eminent This be accomplished and retained
only by the constant interest and active partcipa-
ton of the citizens"
There be quarreling with this latter OPP
nion. No matter whether city has the political
form or the commission form of government it can
not have good, efficient administration unless hon
est efficient wide-awake officials put in charge
of the government. And such officials cannot be put
in office unless they selected with care and put
there by the voters themselves. If the proper Of
fcias selected to run the city, it will have good
of municipal government Certain forms may be
but the fact remains that the form-whether it be
political commission cannot succeed without the
right kind of officials.
What is true in municipal is true too in state
and national affairs. Our federal Constitution has
provided for an admirable, republican form of
government But unless choose officials who have
the ability to understand and carry out that form,
and to apply sound economic rules and business
methods in the legislative and executive departments
the country will not make the progress that it should
. After all it is up to the people. If they in
teigent and sufficiently interested to choose the
right kind of officials the government will prosper,
whether 1t be municipal, state national If they
fall down the job they cannot expect their charter
their constitution to succeed in spite of their
neglect Of duty.

There is much talk, much too much, about the
necessity of having 'son" at the end of the name
if candidate hopes to get anywhere in Minnesota
election Whatever truth there may be in this
thought there is doubt that the racial angle is
perpetuated and perhaps intensified by the constant
emphasis placed on it by politicians and political
writers.
Why not give the various candidates chance
to stand their own personal present merits with
out climbing the family tree. We hope the day is at
hand when announcement of a candidacy will not
bring a supplementary announcement from the press
that the candidates people came from Boston or
Bergen Berlin. For that matter, won't it be great
when a candidate is recognized as being from Mime
sota not localized the Red River Valley, the
Iron Range, the Cities, that extensive and unde-
fined region called Southern Minnesota.

ever is due him over the 80 per
cent loan he has received.
Our association was organized
in Chicago last fall. The meeting
was called by the farm board and
was attended by representatives of
cooperatives having a membership
of 1880 growers.
"R. E. Jones of the Minnesota
Wool Growers Association was
elected director of the national at
the Chicago meeting.
ANY cooperative can join the
National, if it can qualify as a CO.
operative under the law, and if it
handled not less than 100000
pounds of wool in 1929"
The federal farm boadr has ap-
proved advances to the National of
$5,000,000 but not over 100000 has
been drawn as yet. With the ap-
proach of the clipping season, how
ever, the fund will be drawn on
fast, and undoubtedly more than
the $5,0O0,OO0 will be asked for.
Asked if the proposed wool tariff
would aid the wool farmer, Mr..
Wilson said:
"The wool rates as now adopted
are the best for the wool grower
ever put into a tariff bill. We have
"a cents a pound on raw wool, the
highest protection tariff bill ever
carried for wool. But one of the
greatest aids for better wool prices
is the Is cents a pound rate on
wool rags. There are more than
100000 pounds of wool rags inn
ported into this country and they
display not less than 25,OOOOOO
pounds of wool. The new rate will
help to build the home market for
WOOL"
Asked why probable price on
wool to the farmers this season
would be less than rs cents a
pound with the tariff rate "a cents
a pound, he explained the "a cent
rate is on clean or secured wool
and that it takes two pounds of
raw wool to make one pound of
clean wool so that the tariff rate on
the wool as it comes from the farm
is really II cents a pound and not
"a cents as might be understood.
"And that is a high rate and
entirely satisfactory to the wool
farmer" said Mr.. Wilson.
''Wle will have between 10000
and 10000 wool farmers scattered
over 20 or more states in our CO.
operative setup.
1--WE expect another year to be
so organized as to handle a much
larger portion of the wool clip
than the one-third we will handle
this season." he stated.
"The country has not heard so
much about the wool setup as it
has heard about the marketing pro-
grams for some of the other farm
commodities, but the wool farmers
have been joining in most salts
factory way, our organization is
being rapidly perfected and we ex-
pect it to be one of the commodity
marketing organizations that will
demonstrate the success of the ag-
ricuItural marketing act and the
success of the cooperative system
as developed by the federal farm
board"

II feel urged to contradict this wide

voice is the better the more of one basic
tone it contains and the less of accom-
