Misguided Movements

much beating Of breasts and hot

the trouble with many of these

belittle love Of country and an OPP

Loss Of Farm Markets

AS the effects of recent agricultural policies Of
the government are being more widely studied and
analysed it becomes evident that the farmers of the
United States have lost a considerable portion Of
their former markets. both domestic and foreign,
during the last two three years.
The extent of this loss may be readily
grasped by considering that agricultural products
which should have been raised on Is million acres of
American land imported into this country in
1885 At the time exports of food crops
reduced almost to zero.
According to J. F. Walker, field representative
of the Farmers Independence Council of America
Illinois and Indiana, acreage in the corn belt
states has decreased 10 million in the past five
years. Yet imported last year 20,427,000 bushels
of corn.
Vast quantities of wheat, meats, butter, lard ana
other food products also imported Farmers of
the country lost their domestic market to the extent
of these imports They lost their foreign market to
the extent of the reduction of exports
The reduction in crop production caused unem-
ployment on farms and consequent addition to re-
lief rolls estimated at fully million persons. Far
in foreign countries benefited accordingly.
Surely the American farmer is entitled to his
home market, and any policy of government which
denies him that market is short-sighted and detri-
mental to farm and urban population alike.

Questions Pertaining To

Problems Confronting Farmers and

When is the best time to trans
plant rhubarb?
Early spring Is the best time to
transplant rhubarb in this region.
Use good healthy divisions bearing
two or three well developed buds
for each hill. Rhubarb may be
transplanted in the fall, but an
open winter following might cause
considerable winter injury.-A. E.
Hutchins, Division Of Horticulture.
Would potatoes that were slight
ly frozen before harvest or during
storage be good for seed?
I think it would be unwise to use
frost-injured potatoes for seed. If
the injury was very slight, you
might obtain good results, but
more likely you would have many
weak plants or decayed seed
pieces, resulting in a poor stand
J, G. Leach, Division of Plant
Pathology.
Having a wet spot in our berry
field some years ago, we had the
place surveyed and tile drain put
in Strangely enough, this did not
help, and In fact made matters
worse even during the dry years
we had prior to 1885. Last year the
water remained on this area nearly
all summer. What could be the
trouble?
Without seeing your field we
venture two guesses: It may be
that when the tile was put in, the
grade was run the wrong way,
thus collecting the seepage from
the ridge and carrying it into in
stead of out of the pocket. On the
other hand, it may be that there
was peat in the pocket when the
tile was laid and that the peat set
tied after drainage, carrying the
level of the tile on the inner end
below its elevation where it cuts
the ridge. This also would make
the water run into instead of out
os the pocket. In few weeks we
will try to come out to Excelsior
and have look at this situation

be made by planting 100 or 200
seeds in a half inch Of sand or soil
in plate, kept moderately moist
and warm and covered with anoth-
err plate or paper. Waiting to see
how such seed will grow after 1t
Is planted is likely to prove disap-

Cannot Fool the Figures


When 1t is charged that the fin
ancial situation of the state gov
eminent Is worse than 1t was, the
response is that the statement is
not true or that it cannot be help
ed.
Here is something from the St.
Paul Dispatch on the condition Of
state finances.
In 1880 the state tax levy in Min
nesota was 81 mills; in 1885 1t IS
1857 mills. The state debt on Dec
ember 81, 1880, was SO million dol
ars; now it is 129 million dollars.
When Governor Olson took office,
he inherited a cash balance from
Theodore Christianson's admins
tration of $3,5OO,OOO. Today there is
a gross deficit Of IS million dollars
an estimated net deficit of not less
than eight million dollars making
! liberal allowance for future collec-
tions of delinquent taxes, highway
revenues and liquor licenses.
It may be said that depression
caused these conditions, but during
the same period, North Dakota has
increased it's cash surplus by six
million dollars; Iowa has paid off
it's bonded debt; Idaho has reduced
a IA million dollar deficit into a
cash surplus of 40 millions; Michi-
gan has turned a three million de-
ficit into a seven million cash re-
serve; Indiana has balanced its
budget, financed a Is million dol
lar social security program and has
10 millions in the bank.
II might also be recorded that all
of the local governments, taken as
unit, in Minnesota have reduced
both levies and debts.
The state and federal govern
ments have increased, in fact
doubled, their obligations at the
same time that the debts of local
communities have been reduced.
Most argument on this point Is
unnecessary. The public knows
more than it pretends to know
about the politicians.-Grand Rap

In Strange Company
With Senator Shipstead and 9TH
er progressive Senators like Nor
ris, La Toilette, Frazier. Borah and
Wheeler voting guilty" in the i'm
parchment of Federal Judge Hal
sted L. Ritter, Of Florida, 1t Is a
surprise and. to many a disappoint-
ment that Senator Elmer Benson
should have voted mot guilty" on
all seven counts. Magnus Johnson,
his primary opponent. already IS
taking advantage Of Benson's I'M
expected vote with the "reactionar-
les" Having only few days be-
fore made an attack on Justice
Pierce Butler on the floor of the
Senate, 1t was naturally considered
strange that he would want to
whitewash federal Judge who had
been guilty of a number Of shady
practices. On five of the seven roll
calls, majority voted guilty"
Had Benson voted guilty, Ritter
would have been convicted by the
necessary two-thirds on the first
ballot AS it was, Ritter won ac-
ouittal on six counts and had there
been one more Senator Benson, he
would have been acquitted on the
seventh and last ballot. That close
did Benson come to saving the
crooked federal judge.
No doubt Senator Benson voted
his convictions and really feels that
the evidence against the judge was
insufficient. He Is entitled to Gre
dit for taking the unpopular side
of a case when he could have made
votes for himself by voting with
Shipstead and the other progress
sives. But 1t is not easy to under
stand how he came to be in such
strange company.-Springfield Ad-
