growers asking that wholehearted
support be given to the under

One of the directors of the North

If you are not contacted be sure to

send a letter to one of the following
secretaries: Fred Martin, Finlayson;
E. o. Johnson, Sandstone, or julius

The contract and bylaws of the
organization have been approved at
meetings in Finlayson, Sandstone and
Askov. You may think that the by

exactly as you would like them to be.
but if that is the case remember only
farmers, who are raising rutabagas
can become members of the associa-

the contract will not be binding UNI
less 80 per cent of the acreage of

signed up.
You are not tying yourself to a
scheme promoted by some outsiders
who are to reap the benefit, you are
merely joining hands with your neigh
Dor in an attempt to better conditions.
There is a long way to go yet but
If we will honestly try to work to-
gether we may see the day when the
farmer can control his own product
from the farm to the consumer. So
far we are just working on the con-
troll of the flow to the market, but
there are many other problems to
tackle as soon as we are organized

bigger and better market, improving
the quality of roots, etc.
Fellow farmers we are facing con-

is without an organization will our
case be presented as it should be?
And do we deserve it?
This is not profit guaranteeing

to guarantee cost of production every
year. We must meet competition and
conditions as they are. Cooperation
in one little group cannot solve all
the difficulties facing us but we can
improve some of the conditions and
train ourselves for the big tasks that
must be done.
Let us unite and do our duty. 1t
will not be a so per cent organiza-

driven by Harold Kaltenhauser on
Friday night at the bridge on High

as a bus coming from the north

Former IOWu
Senator Offers
A Coop. Plan

Much is being said at this time
about how to better farm conditions
and many plans have been formu-
lated and some have been offered
with little enthusiasm evidenced so
far by those affected. Now Smith w.
Brookhart, former Iowa United States
senator, comes forth with plan
whereby cooperative farming COM
munities would be created through
out the country with the government
holding title to all of the land.
Mr.. Brookhart's plan as quoted to
Republican state committee is as
follows:
"The Farm Bureau federation of
the state of Ohio has declared that
the government should lease and
operate the farm lands. This sug-
gests a permanent reorganization of
agriculture. At one time the gov
eminent owned most of the farm
lands. The parting with this title is
one of the great mistakes of Amer
lean craftsmanship. 1t can only be
corrected by the government resum-
ing the title and reorganizing the
farms into cooperative units big
enough to meet the demands of mod
ern machinery, efficiency and civiliza-
tion generally.
This could be started by the ac-
QUESTION of a tract of land in each
agricultural congressional district
To- erh ho Of onf
organization. Let it be equipped with
village for modern sanitary living
conditions, with school, hospital and
adequate medical and nursing staffs.
To do Own Processing.
ct should also have a machine
shop and small industries for pro-
cessing its own products. 1t should
have good roads, the best machinery
and the best livestock. 1t should
also have complete electrical equip
ment and cooperative bank and
department store. 1t would then be
operated by a cooperative organize
ton of farmers and laborers.
IF this could be done on a scale
large enough to give it a fair trial
it might lead to a final solution Of
the age-old farm problem.
II also have the confidence and
belief in my government to think
that it could organize cooperative
farm under the plan stated in that
platform and preserve the independ-
ence and liberties of the farmers and
promote their general welfare better
than the mortgage companies and the
bankruptcy courts are now doing

and cooperative shipping associa-
tions, all conversant, with the situa-

Considerable feed has been shipped
into Pine county as we'll as other
counties, through the Offices of the
federal government and the state but
more is needed to save the situation.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that many cattle are undernourished
and some are actually starving. This.
it was stated. is especially serious
in the case of cows that are about to
freshen, they lacking strength and
vitality.
The telegram, sent in the name Of
the Pine County Drouth Relief Com
mittee, to congressman Magnus John
son and Harold Knutson, and Sena-
tors Henrik Shipstead and Thomas D..
Schall, reads as follows:
The Telegram.
Federal and state funds available
for drouth relief exhausted. Pine
county still has forty days which
stock must be fed. Farmers in des-
perate need have been rationed from
day to day; considerable stock dying
from lack of proper feed. Many farm
ers have helped themselves to date;
need help from now on more than
heretofore.
unless immediate funds are made
available, disturbances and riots will
be unavoidable. Farmers are des-
perate and situation must be cared
for Immediately
"All surplus hay in county has
been consumed. This is not merely
a gesture. Cannot put the picture
before you as it is; situation terrible;
farmers and business men alike ap-
prehensive of outcome If immediate
relief is not forthcoming at once"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

At the moment when these lines
are being written members of the
steering committee of the interna-
tional disarmament conference are
assembling for their long delayed and
often postponed meeting at Geneva, the
purpose of which is to attempt a re-
vival of the conference.
Whether the attempt will be sue
cessful or not, no one can tell just
now; informed opinion is rather pes
simistic about it because of the I'M
relenting attitude adopted by Ger
many and France in connection with
the problem of German rearmament,
and aso because new elements were
injected into the discussion at just
about the hour when the steering
committee was ready to begin its de-
alterations. A further reason for the
pessimism which has been expressed
in many capitals is the fact that an
ornaments race is actually in prog
ress-and it will be more difficult to
stop it now that it has started, than
ii should have been to prevent it be-
forehand.
Brighter Picture.
1t cannot, however, be said that
prospects necessarily will justify the
skeptics, for there are some posi-
bilities that results may accrue from
the Geneva committee gathering.
Arthur Henderson, former British
prime minister and now president of
the international disarmament con-
ference, expresses the hope that 1--WE
may be able to get limitation agree
ment at the very least" and added,
Perhaps we will achieve some be-
ginning of a reduction of arms"
Mr.. Henderson came to Geneva from
Paris, where he had been in confer
ence with French Foreign Minister
Louis Barthou, and apparently the
talk cheered the Briton, although he
did not reveal any of it's details. He
did intimate as his personal opinion
that disarmament is moving once
more" for shortly after the commit
tee meeting is over Foreign Minister
Nicholas Titulescu is planning a visit
to Paris, also for the purpose of discus
sing disarmament; German Ambassa-
dor Won Hassell is to be sent from Rome
back to Berlin to report to Chancellor
Adolf Hitler that Mussolini wants the

concessions which may be made, re-
