Thursday, October "a, 1885.

The big event will take place JAM
uary to IL and will again be In
charge Of q committee headed by
L. A. Churchill.
The dates chosen are about 2
weeks earlier than the short
courses Of recent years, but AZ
usual the Week will coincide with
the annual meetings Of many lead.
ing farm organizations, including
the Minnesota Farm Bureau, the
Minnesota Crop Improvement asso.
citation the Minnesota Livestock
Breeders association, breed assoc
Citations and many other groups
allied with agriculture. All Of these
organizations will hold part or all
of their meetings on the University
Farm campus.
Though the University Depart
ment Of Agriculture Is the official
sponsor and host Of Farm and
Home Week, the rural people Of
the state are themselves very ac-
tive in promoting It's success.
Nearly every county will have To-
cal Farm and Home Week atten-
dance committee to spread infor.
nation about the short course, en-
courage attendance and organize
trips.
This year these attendance COM
mittees will undertake something
still more ambitious by preparing
radio broadcasts to be given over
a two-station hookup, including
WLB. the University station, and
WCCO, Twin Cities commercial
station. Thirty different counties
will have an opportunity to present
such broadcasts, the series to start
October 81 and run through De-
cember 26 with 15-minute broad
cast each Monday, Thursday. and
Friday, from ITO to 1:25 p. m. For
it's special broadcast, each county
will present historical talk and
music lead by local talent, along
with which there will be some Farm
and Home Week announcements Of
statewide interest.

Farmers will decide on Oct. &c
whether they or the processing in
dustry will run their business say
Farm Bureau leaders in urging an
overwhelming vote in favor Of con-
tinuation of the AAA program.
Until the Agricultural Adjustment
program was developed, farmers
raised everything they could,
whether the market could absorb
it or not, and took the low prices
that always accompany glutted
markets. Under the AAA program
they have seen the price advan-
tages of controlled production
says J. s. Jones, executive secretary
treasurer Of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau.
Hogs that were practically
worthless to the farmer before the
AAA program was instituted are
now worth real money,-corn Is
worth several times the pre-AAA
price. Wheat has advanced to the
best figure received in several
years. These controlled crops have
given an upward urge to other
meats and grains, says the Farm
Bureau leader.
The millions of farmers who are
cooperating with each other
through. the AAA program have no
intention of making food products
scarce-they know that their own
best interest lies in producing
everything the markets Of Ameri-
ca and the world can absorb. They.
however, realize the effectiveness
of doing what industry, labor,
transportation and all other lines
of endeavor have always DONE
they are restricting their output to
the needs of a receptive market.
Any other course would be econom-
ic suicide" declares the Farm
Bureau leader.
"It is not sufficient that mere
majority vote be given in favor OF
the AAA. Every farmer who wants
to hold the gains made to date,
and carry the program through to
satisfactory conclusion, should
vote in favor Of the AAA on Oct.
26, as the size Of the AAA major
ity is bound to have a considerable
effect on future procedure" Mr..
Jones asserts.
When bankers restricted credit
when factories reduced their out
put, when labor sought and won
shorter working hours, they set the
pace that farmers must follow II
they wish to succeed. Increased
prices on AAA crops have shown
that the program is workable and
practical, the farm leader AYERS.

SATURDAY SERMON
(By Alvah Eastman)


Because am convinced that the
sentiment expressed by Alvah East.
man In his Saturday Sermon OF
April 9th will appeal strongly to
the people Of our City, am asking
you to give 1t space in the columns
Of the Herald.
| ]. A. Dubois.
As the year rolls around, in mid
May we set apart a Sunday for tri.
butes to mothers.
That Is fine, and we wear flow.
ers Of red for the living and white
for those who have joined the an
gelic hosts.
What would be much better would
be to show them more love, kind
ness and appreciation in the years
they are with us, that we so often
forget, and pass over in needless
ness any expression Of even con-
sideration for their many weary
hours Of service, or their constant
effort to make the home life OF
father and children more happy
and comfortable. Many take moth
er's love as matter of course
without even giving her a thank
you"
Much has been written Of mother
love, and yet the story has never
been completely told, and never will
be, because words are impotent to
describe the depths of this devo-
ton and affection.
One of the most vivid portrayals
of the full measure Of mothers
love is the third chapter of Kings
1t was written mainly to show the
great wisdom of Solomon, but the
heart warning incident Is the sac
rifice mother was ready to make
for her child. We do not even know
her name. She was one Of two wo-
men, unmarried mothers, who laid
claim to the same child. Each made
strong protestations that the babe
was her child. AS between the two
Solomon could not decide, so he
called for his sword that he could
divide it, giving half to each.
"At this the mother of the
living child, whose heart yearn-
ed for her boy, cried to the
King, 20, my Lord, give her
the living child, never kill it,"
Although this woman had never
worn the marriage ring, she had
the true mother love of self sacri
flee.
There are many beloved mothers
in fact, most mothers, although
too many Of them get but scant
evidence Of that affection.
The saddest story Of civilization
is the tears shed by mothers over
hayward children, tears, If gather.
ed together through the ages
would create a great river, flowing
to the sea of forgiveness. The true
mother never wholly gives up hope
for those she carried under hel
heart, to whom she gave life.
Sometimes In our remorse when
mother lays down her burden we
erect costly monuments and keer
her grave bedecked with flowers
but that Is poor compensation fol
a life Of love and willing If weary
service.
It is SO easy to make mother hap.
py by thoughtful kindness, to LEI
her know that her love and ser
vice are treasured, that from the
lips of her children are ready
thanks, to make easier her life as
she and her children journey to.
oather-the mother's heart filled
with hope and ambition for her be.
loved, ever ready to serve and sac
rifice.
There is no more earthly unset.
fish love than that of the mother
for her children. She may not be q
queen of society, but she has the
pure heart, that makes her lovely
in character and in generous CIV
ing.

Commission Taboos Open Deer
Season
There will be no open deer sea-
son in Minnesota this fall.
So ruled the Minnesota Conser-
walton Commission following in
sistent demands on the part OF
many sportsmen for an open sea-
son and just as emphatic declara-
lions against an open season on
the part of a majority of sports
mems organizations. Unfounded
and ridiculous statements that the
commission had already decided on
an open 1885 deer season were
rampant, that licenses had already
been printed.
Daily newspaper dispatches mis-
quoted E. v. willard, Commission
er Of Conservation, with reference
to the deer situation and a grea'
deal of misunderstanding resulted
without any just cause.
IT have not been in the habit OF
making statements to the press
that might be interpreted as com
hitting the Commission in ad
vance Of formal action by 1t and
thus embarrass the members
Commissioner willard said.
"I have no personal interest In
an open season. Officially, the
Commission has declared the open.
ing and closing of seasons for the
taking of wild life as matters OF
policy for which reason it would
be decidedly bad taste on my part
to attempt to make public state
ments in advance of an opportunity
Of the Commission to express its
attitude. have not at any time
expressed myself either privately
or officially as favoring an open
deer season this fall"

PedestriGn In,pdtienee
Causes Accidents

To the Editor Of The Times:
I wish to correct q statement
published on your editorial page,
Saturday, September 2S, about
our policemen not showing con-
sideration for the pedestrians.
I don't think it Is fair to Judge
the whole Police Department by
what one or two members Of 1t
do. In my life in Washington, I
have always been shown every
consideration when crossing a
street. On, more than one occa'
sion, I have had policemen escort
myself and child across the street.
You can't expect a policeman
to stop traffic and let an i'm
patient pedestrian cross. On
streets where there is no officer,
it is thoughtlesSness on the part
Of the pedestrian that causes &C
cidents.
With an officer on duty at the
crossing, one has only to wait
and be patient to cross the street
safely.
No personal connection with
! the police force prompts me to
