a N ANNUAL EVENT to which Red
~ wood Falls looks forward as q willing
host is the Glass "A high school basket
ball tourney, an event which this weekend
brings players, coaches and fans from
neighboring towns to struggle for the right
to represent the group Of smaller schools in
the district meet at New Ulm.
Here is fair competition The schools
are comparable in size and facilities, a con-
dition seldom found in Journeys Loyalty
for the team that has been frequently
trounced through the season is as sincere
as that given the tourney favorite. Conso-
lation games, so often listless in bigger
meets, are as earnestly played as though
all honors depended upon them
Yet behind all the eagerness to win is a
feeling of friendliness and good fellowship
which overshadows rivalry and bitterness.
Many come knowing their chances are slim
but determined to make the best of them.
Each game is new game and seasons
records are all wiped off the scoreboard at
the start.
Redwood Falls is proud and anxious to
play host to such an event.

Paying High For War
-HE ADMINISTRATION at Washil

vTHE ADMINISTRATION at Washington
estimates that the American govern
ment, to date, has spent 1900, 900, 900
on it's World War veterans. The new bonus
will add substantially more than $2,OOO,-
100000 to that. And if pensions ever come,
the figures will become astronomical.
But it is too late for us to start weeping
about it now. The time to have worried
about all this expense was in the spring of
1917, when our participation in the World
War was still ahead of us.
The lads who went to fight the Ger
mans for us in 1917 and 1913 didn't invent
the pensions-and- bonus system; neither, il
should be added, were they the ones who
thought up the idea of drawing cards in the
World War.
In other words, this colossal expense
that goes dragging on and on long after
wars dead bones have been laid to rest-it
just comes with the bicycle. Declare war,
and this is what you get.
And if we don't like it, there is one fool
proof way to avoid it; by staying out of war

Winter Resorts At Home

r N THESE DAYS of cheap, rapid travel,
the most common remark heard in the
fall is: Il wish l could go away for the
winter" And always this means, to go to a
land with warm climate where we can be out
of doors all we want to, and escape two win
and the monotony and WEAKNESS of being
shut in for weeks.
After digesting all this, it is worth
while to give moments thought to some
thing refreshingly and startingly different.
Newspapers of New England states have
joined in an advertisement in trade jour-
nal, with this heading: New England-the
Greatest Winter Resort-and Greatest Win
ter Market for Cold Weather Goods" The
theme is developed in part as follows:
New England already is the nations
leading winter resort and substantial por-
tion of it's tourist visitors and their New
England spending is derived from the long
winter tourist season, now getting into full
swing. Thousands of winter pleasure seek
ers are arriving at New England resorts
via the famous 'ssnow trains" cars and
buses. Taking leaf from the registers of
many successfully operated hotels during
last season, "a hostelries closed in "a will
stay open. Over 80 winter carnivals are
planned for different towns, more than
twice last years number-all of which will
accelerate present cold weather buying pow
er.
And so, resourceful New England peo-
pie do not propose to sit back and let the va
cationists and pleasure seekers all go to
Florida or the West Indies or California,
but will entertain them with the invigora.

Federal Reserve and Reserve
bank currency ceased to dow in
to the agricultural community by
this method. In fact SO far as
the farmer was directly concern
ed the Federal Reserve banks may
just as well not have existed. It
is not my intent to accuse the
Reserve board of ulterior motives
in taking the action they did, but
who is to deny that agriculture
was victimizef by the banking
system. If not by despotic act
of those responsible for its activi-
tives, then by the very nature of
the bank act, the psychological
effect of which is to feed credit
money lavishly to an already
gluttonized spending populace, or
financially starve them to a point
of utter wretchedness.
1t would seem then that using
short time farm paper as basis
for currency issue is means of
agricultural destruction as well
as a national hazard. This leads
to the following proposal: Place
the Federal Land bank on the
same basis as the Federal Re-
serve Bank. Give the Land Bank
access to the same source of cur
rency supply as has the Reserve
Bank. Issue currency against a
resource that is permanent: that
is not speculated in on the ex-
change and that is not subject to
sudden fluctuations-farm land.
An act such as this would not eff
feet the investment market mas
much as farm land mortgages
constitute only a small portion of
the nations total investments. The
interest charge could be placed at
two per cent which would pay ad-
ministrative costs and build re-
serve. The rate of principal pay
ments should not be a fixed an
nual charge but should vary be-
tween zero and three per cent.
The object thereof is to reduce
land Indebtedness during periods
of high prices while at the same
time using principal payment
money to retire Land Bank cur
rency from circulation.
During periods of low prices,
no payments should be made on
principal thus leaving more
money in the community. By the
settling of estates, purchase Of
farms by tenants, etc., the amount
of Land Bank currency would,
over a period years vary but lit
tie. A limit, of course, should be
set at one such mortgage per
farmstead owner. The producing
capacity, / think, and not the dol
lar value of such produce should
be the basis for arriving at loan
values in order to prevent, over
period Of years, excess, up or
down, in appraisals, and enact
ment of state laws prohibiting
the recording of second land
mortgages in excess of a fraction
of the first would ply break on
speculation. High land values

farmers. Assurance of a home
and an adequate income should
be the goal.
Since it is obvious that deple-
tion of our soil fertility is men,
ace both to the farmers financial
welfare and the nations future
food supply, soil conservation
should be dealt with under this
plan. The Land Bank could ac-
quire farms by purchase on
which, under proper tenantry,
soil conservation or land retire
ment could be practiced. Further
more with mortgage contract as
outlined above no farmer should

Mystery Of Poor

Expert Says.

Through a new potassium test ana

era, the mystery Of corn crop failures
on some older soils has been solved.
Farmers who lined their land years
ago, in many cases phosphated It and
have been growing clovers regularly
In the rotation. have suddenly found
that corn has begun to fail. In some
fields the poor corn shows mp In spots

failure. The soils often r high In
fertility. and until recently the cause
Of the failures has been unknown BY
the farmers working the land.
With the ~perfecting Of tests for
available potassium, or potash. It has
been found that most such failures
have been caused by u lack Of sum
Client potassium Since corn seems to
be especially sensitive TO this eIe-
ment, It is the first crop to show 2
need for the mineral.
Soils showing a deficiency Of potas-
sium bnt containing plenty Of the
other fertility elements will again
yield normal corn crops II treated with
potash fertilizer. It also has been
found that application Of manure and
straw win help delay the time when
lack Of potassium becomes serious.
Both and straw should be
applied before decay and teaching
have had time to carry away the
potash and other elements Of fertility.
Return Of straw to land that has not
grown clover may reduce yields tenn
porarily BY tying up the small amount
Of available nitrogen found in such
soils.
