Mrs. Dave Whittet, who with her
husband celebrated the fifieth ami
versary of their marriage last week,
told members of the country Ladies
Aid of the Methodist church of early
day troubles at a party in her honor
last week: Her story follows:
We were married at my parents
home, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bunting
March %, 1868. going Immediately to
my husbands parents where we lived
until October that year as my hus-
band had rented land and in October
we moved onto farm about four
miles from there where we resided I'M
til we made up our minds to 90 west
to Minnesota and we again returned
to Grandma Whittet's.
We spent the winter with them un-
Til May 16, the day after my birthday.
We started for Minnesota with our
little son. Byron and four head of
horses, IL head of stock and our big
Newfoundland dog and one of our
school mates who wanted to see this
country. He helped drive the stock
and do the cooking which helped me
out wonderfully My husbands broth
er and my brother spent one night
with US and then went home.
We had rain on the road Just twice
on all the journey and both times we
were visiting with friends. It rained
one other day just little: I had some
clothes that I wanted to dry SO STEP
ed into house and asked the lady of
the house if / could dry them and
she sure refused so I gave her my
blessing and went on. We made about
Is miles aday, sometimes having to
stop early on account of some of the
stock being tired. My husband would
milk the cows, then put the milk in
a crock, set it in the wagon and by
night we had nice bit of butter on
top-the motion of the wagon did the
churning. We then had butter for
use for frying eggs and meat.
Arrived June III
Our living was mostly meat, pota-
toes. eggs and milk and did not cost
us much. We bought it mostly from
the farmers during the first of the
journey, then when settlers were
scarce we laid in q supply at the
towns. Our faithful dog travelled all
the first day and got foot sore. We
then took him into the wagon to rest
at times.
Well. we journeyed on until June

Dealing Difficulties

~ HE most severe criticism we have heard of any
recently is that "he started knocking the new
deal before it had started" Politics are import
ant in American life but agree with the complain
ant that they out of place at the beginning of
national administration, especially when the coun-
try faces crisis.
Any deal is certain to contain items that dis
please many of The economy bill helps the tax
payer but many government employees and persons
receiving compensation cannot be expected to enthuse
over it. The beer bill has host of opponents The
farm bill creates uproar in many circles. Even a
bill to put great numbers of unemployed to work
fought by certain labor leaders.
And each is entitled to his opinion and the right
to voice it, but beyond it all IS goal which we all
hope to reach Knocking will never bring us to that
goal The only hope is that will tolerate what we
object to, laud what agree with and cooperate
wherever possible Time will care for most of The
Objectionable parts of the program.
Someone, who for lack of better things to occupy
his mind, has figured out that hole half mile deep
and mile square would provide ample room for all the
people living in the world today if they were piled one

in the world were dumped into the Grand CANYON the
entire mass would be little more than hump in the
bottom of the valley Such figures force us to adjust

Working Together?

HARDLY a day goes by but what we hear this
n despairng remark: Farmers just can't cooper
ate they will" If this is true, then there
is little hope in farm relief But is it true
Rural history in recent years has been one of rise
and fall Of farm organizations. Several formed to
fight the farmers battles have had faulty leadership
others too radical too reactonary. Some got
into politics, others died natural death.
Right now there are several strong groups repre-
senting rural sections and efforts have been made to
bring them together behind program. All
wish the end, but some wish to take detour,
others the main road. While are blaming congress
for what has done has not done for the farmer
must admit the weakness of having too many organ
izations with too many programs.
Supposedly the Roosevelt farm program was the
outgrowth of farm organization conferences but imed
lately it attacked by the president of of the
groups who gained the public eye by the protest and
gave farm opponents the best of munitions We re-
Gently received publicity story from another of the
organizations which contained this phrase says the
chief of the foremost of them" Not statement which
will encourage harmony exactly
Redwood county has enough cooperation
among farmers in years several projects to
convince that there is hope that all farmers will
work together eventually But to hasten that time,
farm leaders must forget jealousy and the love of
publicity which now is altogether too apparent.

Produce Market Notes

Prices of fruits and vegetables
continue the months slightly down
war dtrend. Further market weak
ness in potatoes, onions, apples,
and southern vegetables has devel-
Oped since the middle of January,
but declines are small. Northern
cabbage has held the limited price
recovery at some shipping points,
but in general the cabbage position
is irregular and rather weak under
the pressure of sizeable eastern
holdings and rather liberal shipment
from the South. Onions are near
lowest prices of the season. Pota-
toes are fairly steady now but have
lost about 10 per cent of the early
winter rise. Apples tend slightly
lower owing to active shipping move
ment and lack of export demand.
Supplies of produce have increas-
ed with the return of milder wealth
er in some parts of the country. The
daily shipment total is now almost
as large as it was a year ago and
the slow general demand keeps
prices of most lines lower than in
January, 1882. Increased production
estimates on most of the early
southern truck crops suggest liberal
receipts if the growing season con-
tinues favorable and prices are high
enough to encourage full shipment.
Sweet potatoes are selling at near
ly unchanged levels. Shipments are
less than they were last season.
price level is not far
from that of a year ago. Eastern
sweet potatoes sell higher than they
lid i'm January. 1882, ranging so to
S5 cents a bushel for Maryland and
Delaware stock, compared with S5
70 60 cents last season. Supplies
are reported light to moderate in

Sagging Apple Prices
Eastern apple markets have sag

in jobbing markets. Most eastern
cities still report moderate supplies
and rather slow demand. New York
