purchase Of submarginai agricul-
tural lands for the purpose Of re-.
ducing output has been urged, such
an undertaking Is not feasible. Sub
marginal land Is not an important
factor In total farm production. II
enough were purchased to reduce
production to any significant de-
gree, a very difficult problem Of
population relocation would have to
be faced. The present plans for
land purchase are designed to fos-
ter desirable population relocation
and improved land use. Scattered
settlers In the areas selected for
purchase operations will be aided
in moving to other lands better suit
ed for farm development and bet
ter located with regard to existing
settlement. The situation Of the
settlers will be improved by the
move; the cost Of providing needed
public services will be reduced, and
greater opportunity for public uti-
lization Of solid blocks Of land for
forestry or other purposes will fol-
low. While being developed in
connection with the adjustment adj
ministration, this is not matter Of
production adjustment but one Of
adjustment in land use.
The production adjustment pro-
gram has been referred to above as
temporary expedient. This is no
disparagement Of its value. It
does emphasize the Importance Of
laying long run plans. The time
to do that is now, not some time in
the distant future This Is a mat
ter which warrants the attention
Of farmers generally and Of every
one connected with or interested in
the welfare Of the agricultural In
dustry. In giving 1t consideration,
1t Is important that all angles be
weighed fully and that decisions
not be unduly Influenced by interest
in or antagonism towards the
emergency program. Features Of
the present program which may be
employed advantageously for
longer period should be retained;
those not so adapted, should be dis
carded.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1934-10-11

problems which agriculture lie fac
ing. The idea Of overproduction
probably has been emphasized too
much and the need for reasonable
recovery Of markets too little. II
industry Is not to recover, II the
purchasing power Of consumers Is
not to be restored, and If reasonable
reestablishment Of export trade
does not take place, agricultural
prices will continue at low levels
unless output Is reduced permanent
ly. To the extent market restoration
takes place, to that extent general
curtailment will not be needed al
though there still may be some need
for adjustments in the case of GER
tain produtcs.
Domestic per capita consumption
OF some farm products, such as
pork and lard, has been well main
tanned and this has been pointed to
as an indication that the effects Of
domestic recovery may be overesti-
mated. It Is important to distin-
guish carefully between consump-
IlOLl dIl0 oCkudLlu.
fers to the quantity used. Demand
includes price as well as quantity.
Thus, an increase In consumers
buying power may be reflected in
an increase in demand which will
provide outlets for larger guam
tity at existing prices or will make
it possible to dispose OF the same
amount Of product at higher
prices. Per capita consumption Of
pork and lard has been maintained
at the cost Of very low prices. Re-
covery Of purchasing power should
make 1t possible to maintain con-
sumption at higher prices.
Industrial recovery Is Of pri-
mary Importance to permanent ag-
ricultural Improvement. While the
thing for agriculture to do temper
arily is to adjust its production to
the situation, the long run hope
must lie in the recovery Of activity.
Due consideration must therefore
be given to methods Of achieving
industrial recovery. Attention, like
wise, must be given to ways and
means Of recovering some of the
foreign outlets for farm products
which have dried up during the de-
preston. For the time being, the
adjustment program accepts the
existing situation because it can do
nothing else. However, 1t Is not
true that nothing can be done
about it for the future. To the ex-
tent we give up foreign markets
for agricultural products we will
have to curtail production perma-
nently. To the extent these mar
kets are recovered the curtailment
problem will be simplifled. Their
recovery depends largely on our
own trade policies. 1t is not main
tanned that we can recover these
markets without cost. It should be
clear, however, that we can not give
them up except at the tremendous
cost involved in a permanent and
extensive agricultural curtailment.
No one seriously contemplates a
total loss Of export markets. Nor
does anyone conceive Of situation
of their sudden and complete recov-
cry. The choice Is not between the
two extremes but rather in how far
we are to retreat towards self-suf-

Excerpts From The Herald Of
Thursday, Oct. 8, 1914-Items Of
Interest Of 20 Years Ago

Twenty-eight farmers, residing or
owning land between Sank Centre
and Melrose, met in this city Thurs
day to discuss ways and means OF
Strengthening the channel Of Sank
River between Sank Centre and
Melrose. If this can be accomp-
lished 1t will reclaim a large acre
age of meadow land.

prayers for universal peace were

to YOU You know the buildings
are closed and the youngsters
scattered to all points of the com
pass, and you continue your speed
without Stacking.
Now, however, those signs have
a great significance. Throughout
the country, thirty million children
have again picked up their text
books and readers and are busy at
their schoolwork. The signs are
a vital warning to all motorists to
watch out for the youngsters.
In spite Of the efforts of school
authorities and safety workers,
automobile casualties still account
for more child fatalities than any
other accidental cause. Last year,
400 boys and girls of school age
were killed in such mishaps, and
many thousands more were In
Jured.
The evidence underlying the sta
tistics appears to place the blame
heavily on motorists, for the
youngsters have shown remark
able ability to watch out for them
selves by observing safety rules
and principals. In five years, for
example, while motor vehicle ac-
cidents involving adults have in
creased "a per cent, those involv-
ing children have decreased 20 per
cent.
It has been said that the achieve
ment in the schools Is the brightest
spot in the entire safety movement.
Children can be taught to respect
and obey the rules Of governing
their own conduct in traffic, but
they are helpless If careless motor
lists refuse to cooperate.
Motorists, take care for school
children. The sign:"School Ahead
Slow Down." is driving COM

To get men back to work without

job to be accomplished. We are
inclined to believe that much Of

ficiency or how far we are to regain
lost ground. There is some trace
in the adjustment program Of an
apparent acceptance Of the loss Of
these markets as beyond control.
This attitude is unfortunate.
If one Is to hazard q guess for the
future, 1t seems reasonable to as
sumo that neither the farmers nor
the consumers Of farm products are
likely to accept as permanent the
present program Of making adjust
ment payments to farmers to with
hold some Of their acreage from use
or to reduce their livestock opera
tons. Such a program is not the
most effective utilization Of re-
sources. A long time program
should permit the most efficient
production by the most efficient
farmers on the best lands available.
1t needs to be sufficiently flexible
so that shifts in production can be
made among areas In accordance
with changing conditions and tech
mic.
A point Of some importance with a
longer time price raising program Is
that Of distinguishing between rails
Ing the purchasing power Of unit
Of commodity, such as Of bushel
of wheat or 100 pounds of hogs, and
raising the purchasing power Of
farmers. The reduction in output
offsets part Of any increase In unit
prices which may result and to the
extent this takes place, the benefits
are limited, particularly in view of
the fact that reduction in output
does not mean a corresponding re-
duction in costs Of farm operation.
The adjustment payments have
been referred to as crop insurance.
I'm view of the fact that they rep
resent a minor rather than a major
part Of the farm income, their in
surance features are a by-product
and do not justly continuing the
plan merely to obtain this benefit.
The value Of the present program
in an emergency such as that caus-
ed by the drouth also has been
stressed. The administrative set-up
and authority under the act are
very helpful in handling the live
stock problem in drouth stricken
areas. The permanency Of the adj
justment program, however, will
depend upon its value under more
normal production conditions rath-
er than upon its adapitability TO the
exceptional emergency.
The adjustment program is max
ing definite place for land planning
and this phase Of the program
seems reasonably assured Of per-
manence. Present plans include a
program Of purchase Of some sub
marginal farm lands. This is long
time program which should not be
confused with the emergency adj
justment program. While federal

Agricultural Notes
Should Open Up Sod When
Watering Trees

Trying to water lawn trees with
out doing something to open up
the sod is about as useless as II
would be to take a shower bath
with a raincoat on. DR.. J. G.
Leach, University Farm plant sci
enlist, says hundreds Of valuable
oaks and other trees on lawns
could be saved from drouth by
proper watering.
Most people, says DR.. Leach, do
not realize that little or no good
can be done by merely sprinkling
water on the grass near the tree,
or pouring some into hole dug
around the foot of the tree. To
get at the problem right, it is
necessary to know that the feed
ing roots of large tree are 10
Gated some distance out. In
spreading trees, such as oak or
elm, these feeding roots reach
out at least as far as the outer
branches. The bulk of the feeding
roots lie in a belt located straight
down from the outer six feet OF
the trees branches.
When one wishes to water a tree
therefor, he should take a long
tined spading fork and open up
cracks or Sits extending down
through the sod as far as the fork
will go. Pushing the fork down
and prying it slightly to and fro
will make Sits wide enough to
let the water in readily without
seriously damaging the lawn. In
fact, these openings can be
pressed shut with the foot after
the tree-watering is done. The
six-foot belt referred to should be
thoroughly punctured with Sits
about foot apart each way.
When treated in this way, the
soil will drink up literally bar
rels Of water with no part of II
running away. Ordinary sprink-
ling on lawns does very little
good, the soil being so packed
that the water fails to penetrate
deep enough to do trees any good
although the top soil may even
be muddy.
DR.. Leach says the same prin.
ciple holds for watering small
trees, shrubs and hedges, the
place to apply the water varying
of course, with the size of the
plants.

Many things about the disease are
not yet understood, but apparently
one horse will not catch" 1t from
another, without the agency Of q
mosquito or other carrier. Veter-
dnarians have a serum which in
large doses has proved successful
for treating affected animals. In
small doses the serum immunizes
horses so that they will not take
the disease. This immunity lasts
only for about Fl to 80 days, how
ever. For that reason, vaccination
is not advised until the disease in
the near vicinity, especially since
animals stand a fair chance Of be-
ing saved after actually getting
the disease promptly treated.
Horses should be closely watched
and a veterinarian called at the
first hint Of sickness. Symptoms
are many, but among the most
common are tagging behind and
profuse sweating, If the horse is
working; or failure to keep with
other horses in the pasture. Loss
Of appetite, difficulty in swallow
ing, hanging Of the lips, leaning
against objects, walking in circles,
discharges from the nose and even
going into nervous fits, are all
symptoms.
Up to September 1, cases were
recorded on about 1876 farms in
Minnesota, most Of the trouble be-
ing in Jackson county, where the
disease first appeared near Heron
Lake Cases were also present in
the counties Of Mobiles, Cotton
wood, Murray, Pope, PipeSone,
Douglas and Wilkin.
General frosts, which will kill
the mosquitoes, are expected to
end the spread Of encephalomyelitis
for this year.

Save Small Grains and Flax for
Seed

Save your small grain or fax
crops for seed.' That is the ad-
vice of the Minnesota Crop I'm
provement Association to its mem
bers, all of whom specialize in the
production of crop varieties i'm
proved or recommended by the
Minnesota experiment stations.
Because of the prolonged drought
the grain crop is almost total
failure in many parts Of Minneso-
Ia, says statement in the August
number Of the Minnesota Seed
Grower, the associations official
publication. "A few counties in the
northern part Of the state have
good crops, but they will not be
able to provide all the seed needed
for the rest of the state. Therefore,
we urge all farmers, able to har-
vest fair crop, to hold seed Of the
recommended varieties until next
spring, since there will undoubted-
ly be a strong demand and a good
price for 1t.
