conservation leader of the state is a
wild-eyed hyena.
Had it not been for the effective
work of the State Department of Agri-
culture in eradicating grasshoppers
in the Red River Valley in 1881, farm
ers there would not be enjoying the
temporary prosperity that dominates
the Valley this year. At least that
is what agricultural experts say.
They point out that the grasshopper
plague of 1881 was a serious one, and
if nothing had been done about it at
the time, the pests would have in
creased to such alarming numbers
that by 1894 there would have been
little wheat to sell at $1.10 a bushel.
Such prosperity as is now being
witnessed in the Red River Valley
does not mean that the problems OF
the farmer have been solved, but
points emphatically to the weakness
of our system. While farmers in the
Red River Valley prosper, thousands
of other farmers throughout the
northwest are in a dire condition OF
want. The condition of farmers in
Minnesota this year is an calculation
of rugged individualism under the
present capitalistic system-a few
prosper from the miseries Of the
many. However, farmers do not be-
grudge their more fortunate contem-
poraries in the Red River Valley, but
look forward to the day when gov
eminent, through the right kind OF
egislation, will give to agriculture
its proper place in the economic sun

Mr.. Hay said.
The Importance Of adopting Amend
ment No. 4, which is to be voted on
at the general election November 6,
is reflected in the large acreage Of
state-owned lands contained within
the confines of Minnesota's two ma
tional forests, the Superior and the
Chippewa. To formulate economical
sound forest management plans for
both state and federal forests in the
state, it is vital that the approximate
$4,000 acres of state-owned lands
within these forests be exchanged for
federal lands located preferably in
state forest areas. This needed con-
servation measure must not be made
a political football in the campaign
now under way.

of the doctors. A pint of milk each

that should be allowed in a properly
balanced diet.

pears who has an allergic sensitivity
to milk. Such a child is terribly
handicapped because he must get all
of the necessary calcium and other

and often he doesn't get it.
Most children can drink all of the
milk they need. They like it too,
if they are properly trained. If they
do not like it, it is usually the fault
of the adults in the family.
The campaign of the AAA to in
crease milk consumption among chill

to the medical viewpoint. But it's
greatest value, if it is successful, will
be in the guarantee provided for bet

During the last month certain types
of child labor not regulated by codes,
but in conflict with the high STAN
dards set by the child labor laws OF
Minnesota were brought to the atten-
tion of local courts. One night club
proprietor and two walkathon man
ayers were fined for using children
rs entertainment features. The Di-
vision of Women and Children, State
Industrial Commission, is charged
with the responsibility of enforcement
of the Minnesota minimum wage
law. Minnesota is one of 16 states
which thus protects the wage rights
of minors. In carrying out this re-
sponsibility a wage adjustment of 1876
was secured during the last month for
a minor boy who was employed for
one year contrary to the state mini
mum wage law.
