Forester Opens Aid
On Windbreak Plans.

Plan now for windbreaks to be
planted next spring, advises P. o.
Anderson, extension forester, Univer-
Sity Farm He is assisting county
agents in about 40 counties in con-
Quoting meetings discussing the proper
arrangement of trees, methods OF
planting, and the best combinations
of varieties. He also advises farmers
individually regarding the laying out
of tree plots and other points on which
they desire help. The meetings, which
began in December, will continue
through April
Farmers Unable to attend these
meetings may secure help from their
county agent, or direct from Mr.. Ander-
son by writing the Agricultural Ex-
tension Division, University Farm, St
Paul. Mr.. Anderson viii supply litera-
ture giving information about wind
breaks and will assist farmers in Sc
curing windbreak trees at advantageous
prices.
Mr.. Anderson urges an early start in
planning windbreaks in order to have
the stock on hand so that planting may
begin as soon as soil conditions permit.
This, he says, will give the trees the
best chance possible to take advantage
of the spring and winter moisture, en-
abling them to get good start before
the dry summer months. Late plant
ing is apt to disappoint.

A Holland university pro-
fessor has succeeded in cooling
a space of 10 cubic centimeters
to within 0.75 degree of alb
solute zero, the point at which
theoretically there is total alb
sences of heat. This calls to
our recollection the early days
of northern st. Louis county
when for months during the
winter the thermometer froze
beyond register. Capt. Nor
com, superintendent at the
Soudan mine, sent in a requisi-
ton to the company for a Their
mometer and when asked
whether he wanted a Faren-
heit or Centigrad instrument
replied that he didn't care
what brand it bore but it was
to be six feet long and to begin
at zero. Since the removal of
the timber from this country,
weather has changed remark
ably.

UNCLE SAM IN BUSINESS
Zone of the Prize Winning Editorials in the N. E.
Government in Business Contest)

Because of the apathy of business men and
others who should be alert to the menace of govern
mental interference with private enterprises, a
small but aggressive minority in Congress is
making progress In its attempt to socalize all
American industries.
These advocates of governmental operation of
business and industry have already placed severe
burdens upon private enterprises through excess
sve regulation, as first step toward their goal
In order to further harass these enterprises a
multitude of government bureaus, commissions,
boards and other agencies have been set up with
their army of political job holders to inspect in
vestigate and intimidate.
If these tactics shall succeed in destroying
private business the road to government operation
and socialism will be open This, of course is the
ultimate object of the whole scheme. And if it
succeeds we shall all be slaves to an all-powerful
political machine like that which is enslaving the
people of Russia today.
Experience has demonstrated that govern
mental conduct of business is inefficient or waste
full, or both. Our experiment with governmental
operation of the railroads during and after the war
is an example Our Post Office Department now
shows yearly deficit of $150,0000O0. We have
squandered S250O00,000 or more through the
governments excursion into the cotton and wheat
markets. We have wasted many millions in re-
camation schemes for the purpose of bringing
more land under cultivation to increase the agri-
cultural surplus. We have borne enormous losses
IN the shipping business And so on.
The tragic aspect of all this is that con-
sequences Of these foes must be borne by the tax
payers, whose private businesses have been injured
and in some cases virtually destroyed by the Fed
eral government. Socialistic experiments in many
of the individual states have had the same inevi-
table results.
1t is time that every citizen who believes in the
encouragement of private enterprise and in
dividual effort should protest against the encroach-
ments Of government in business The place to
protest is at the ballot box Relegate the social
istic politicians to private life and keep them
there-Marcy B. Darnall, Herald Florence, Ala.

PROPERTY TAX
Levy DECLINES
State Records a Two and One
Half Per Cent Reduction
in 1881.

General property tax levies in Mime
sofa for all purposes payable this year
showed a decrease of s3,181, $50 or ap-
proXimately 21a per cent under the
total levies of the previous year, j.
G. Armson, chairman of the state tax
commission, announced Saturday.
Excluding special assessments, the
total levies for all purposes, state and
local, in Sc of the 81 counties of the
state which have filed their official
statement with the commission, amount
to S120, Its, 9OO38 for 1881, compared
with S123, 359, 75727 in 1880.
Although the total reduction in
county and local levies amounted to
81, 150, 1859 for 1881 compared with a
year ago this was offset by an increase
of Sc, 968, 1880 in state levies.
The levies for the state revenue fund
increased s2,973, BOOST. For miscellan-
eous purposes the state levies show an
increase of 81 ,281 ,070.64, while for edu-
cational purposes there is a decrease
of s370,218.30, and decrease of SIS
174.11 for highway purposes.
The largest decrease in state units
was in local school levies where the
