TO HASTEN RECOVERY

1t is inevitable that agriculture must some day
return to normacy but the problem OF Fastening
the time excessive burden upon the land
will be lifted is still to be solved.
Leaders beginning to think along sane lines
in their effort lessen some or the gref that man
made errors have imposed upon agriculture in the
past. Thought today L turning to the advocacy OF
wider markets for farm surpluses, advanced more
than year ago by the Gram Committee on Nation
al Affairs in survey of the farm question.
This committee specified that any legislative plan
agricultural recovery should be based upon
these principles:
Should not require curtament of agricultural
production to fit only domestic needs, but should
through trade exchange open the world market for
whatever surplus of food other raw material we
care to produce.
Should not require the creation of any addt-
ional governmental machinery the employment
of single government employee.
Should not add anything to federal govern
ment expenditures in administration"
1t was also declared that the outstanding world
problem today is interference with distribution; that
speculation is the basis upon which rests the
structure of international commerce. that there are
certain channels through which commerce natural
ly flows, and the laws of supply and demand are
immutable
All recognized authorities also insist that the
farmers future markets should be kept broad and
liquid, unhampered by needless restrictions.

was more picture of that city than of any
of the western towns But in spite of his
denials Main Street is accepted as Sank Centre.
When he travelled to his birthplace today, he
went over paved highway, quite in contrast to
the roads wnen he wrote that most delightful
book, Free Air." that started in Stearns county,
has reference to st. Cloud, at a time when farm
ers found profit in maintaining deep mud holes
in the roads, that held until they were pulled
out by real horse power. Those who seem to
forget the great improvement in highways could
get realistic view of conditions only a few years
ago by re-reading Free Air"
Since then he written several of the best
sellers and so great Is his fame that the an
nouncement of new book by Sinclair Lewis i'm
mediately brings big sales, readers taking 1t on

Carload Of Trout Daily TO Improve
Fish Life

A carload per day of trout is be-
ing distributed in Minnesota lakes
and streams in the northern part of
the state by the Division of Game
and Fish in order that fish life may
be improved. During the past six
weeks, 30 carloads of brook trout,
brown, rainbow, Loeb Leven and
lake trout have been placed in lakes
and streams in the Lake Superior
north short country and in the vi
cinity of Park Rapids. DR.. Thad-
deus Surber, superintendent Of fish
propagation activities for the divis-
ion, said that more than a million
trout fingerlings were distributed
in this period.
Shipments of trout have been
made from the state-owned fish
hatcheries located in st. Paul,
Lanesboro and st. Peter. Six
trucks are utilized in the moving
of the trout, three in loading oper-
atoms at the hatcheries and three
located alternately at Two Harbors
and French River for distribution
purposes.
more general distribution of our
supply of stream and lake trout
fingerlings was impossible this
season owing to the extremely
warm condition of many of the US
ual trout streams of the state" DR.,
Surber said. Low water caused
this abnormal raise in water tenn
perature and the continued drouth
in many instances caused streams
formerly planted with trout to COM
pletely dry up. In order to pre-
vent large losses Of trout, we have
been compelled to select streams
and lakes where water conditions
are as near normal as possible.
