Need Protection

BY F. A. Smith.
Many Of us who are taking adj
vantage of the offer of garden
spots this summer are wondering
how we are going to protect our
vegetables from thieves, who will
slip in at night, and even in the
daytime, and steal the crops for
which we will put in many weary
hours.
The free garden sites in many
cases will be a long way from our
homes, and we will have no way
to safeguard them at night. 1t
would be a great help if the city
garden committee could devise
some way of having Waterman
on the job or plan some other
way of protection, so all our labor
will not go for naught.

~ ERNIANY was fortunate in electing Hin
" denburg president before Adolf Hitler be-
came chancellor. Once more this grand old man
is called upon to save the reich, but that seems
to have been his allotted task ever since the war
ended.
But for Hindenburgs personal prestige, the
chances are that Hitler would have won the
last presidential election, and what a calamity
that would have been!
AS it is, the progressive elements in Ger
many have been paralyzed temporarily by Hit

1t has been supposed by many, and still is
by some. that Hitler's object was the restora-
ton of monarchy. His conduct since entering
office, however, suggests that he prefers to Gre
ate mob of his own. Mob is the correct word
as illustrated by Hitler's Irritation with the Jew
ish boycott.
Apparently, this so-called man of iron has
very little in mind except to supply his follow
erS with excitement. This is logical enough
since it was the method by which he attained
popularity and power but it is far from being
craftsmanship.

landed Germany but for the obstacle which
Hndenburg represented.

It was precariouS situation not only for the
Jews, but for Europe
! The Jewish boycott is chiefly significant be-
cause of what it promised for all opposition ele-
ments If it worked. While protests from abroad
as well as the warnings of business leaders from
within, contributed something to its failure
Hndenburg can be credited with squashing it.

Wheat Crops
At 37--Year's
Low Vol'me
Government Estimate of To-
tai Is 5S5, 056, 500 Bushels;
Smallest Since 1896
AN INCREASE EXPECTED
Land Abandonment, Unfavor-
able Weather Bring Crop
Under u. s. Demands

Washington May Govern
ment statistics indicated wednes-
day that for the first time in the
twentieth century production of all
wheat in the United States will be
less than estimated domestic
needs.
The crop reporting board esti-
mated winter wheat production as
of May at 337, 4s5, 900 bushels, or
66.7 per cent of normal. If this
estimate materializes, it will be the
smallest harvest of winter wheat
since 19O4-the result of the most
extensive acreage abandonment in
the history of American agricul-
tural record keeping, 1872 per cent.
For years past, big SURPRISES
have aggravated a pressing farm
problem. The smaller crop may
necessitate drawing on the huge
existing surplus of wheat, expected
to be about 33O,0O0,0O0 bushels
July 1.
The latest government report on
spring wheat, which ordinarily ac-
counts for IS per cent of United
States wheat production, was made
March Is, when the crop reporting
board estimated that farmers In
tended to plant 20,9S6,0O0 acres of
all spring wheat, drop of 2.5 per
cent from last year.
The average yield for spring
wheat over 10 year period is 1915
bushels per acre which if realized
this year-would result in spring
wheat production of 247,51 500
bushels. This figure added to the
winter wheat production estimate
points to probable wheat harvest
of 5s5, 056, 500 bushels.
This would be the smallest wheat
production since 1896, when the out
put was $50 ,456. 900 bushels. At
that time, consumption was at a
much smaller point than in recent
years in which it has been estimat-
ed at 10000 900 bushels or more
annually.
In 1892, production totaled 726,-
s31 900 bushels Of all wheat while
in 1881 it exceeded 900, 0O0, 900 BUSH
els. The three smallest crops for
several decades were recorded in
1911, when production was 621 .0O0.-
900 bushels; in 1916, 5000, 900
bushels: and 1917 when the output
was 637, 900, 900 bushels. In 1915
the biggest crop in the nations his
tory was harvested more than l.
100000 bushels.

Sale of Sick Man S
Farm Postponed
800 Neighbors Protect Foreclosure
Proceedings at Fergus Falls
Wednesday Morning

Fergus Falls, MINK, May 8-Led
by a Unitarian minister, 300 Otter
Tail county farmers prevented fore
closure on the farm Of q man who,
they claimed was bedridden.
Acquiescing to the demands OF
the crowd, DR.. J. L. Curtis, Otter
Tail county coroner acting in the
place Of the late Sheriff O. J. Tive
ten, postponed the mortgage sale
on the farm of Abraham Matson,
near New York Mills. The mort
gage was for 1900 and was held
by the Finnish Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company.
As he surveyed the crowd which
gathered in front of the court
house, DIR. Curtis, prior to reading
the notice of foreclosure, asked:
lis there an objection to con-
Quoting this sale?" i.
Eyes," the crowd shouted.
Then Rev. John Flint, Of Under
waad. and George Miller, Of Fer
gus Falls, head Of the Otter Tail
County Farmers Holiday associa-
ton, informed DR.. Curtis that Mat
son, the farm owner, was i'll in bed.
DR.. Curtis then announced post
ponement of the sale for thirty
days. The crowd cheered.
At the conclusion of the proceed
ings, the crowd, remained to hear
addresses by Rev. Flint, President
Miller and James Flowers, young
Sebeka farmer.
The minister denounced Cover
nor Herring, of Iowa, for calling
out the militia at Lemars because
of foreclosure trouble. He warned
the people mot to believe the stor-
les you read in the big city news
papers about the Lemars trouble.
Most preachers teach us we shall
eat pie by and by in the sky, but
here's a preacher who thinks we
should have the pie now" he said.
Rev. Flint also praised Governor
Olson, asserting "he is a friend Of
the people and friend Of the
farmer"
Flowers advised the farmers to
take militant action" asserting
that is the only way we can get
action at all"
I'VE are waging a battle to save
our homes and through militant
action we can save Them" Flowers
told the crowd.

Sank Centre High lost heart

Sank Centre scored first when in
the fourth frame two runs crossed
the plate on two hits, and two err
rors. Schultz and Dubois were both
out, Schultz being forced by Pats
grounder. Butch socked out sing
lie and stole second. Kraemer hit a
two-bagger scoring Butch. Eben-
steiner was safe on an error at first

Melrose retaliated in the fifth by
scoring two runs. Ramacher, Lemm
and Kracker each got singles, ac-
counting for the runs. In the sixth
