WHAT CAN Be DONE
TO MINIMIZE THE
Sc HOPPER MENkcE
By GONIUs LAURsEN

think we all realize tina, UNI
less free grasshoppeer poisC will
be available this spring, that we
have a very small chance of har-
vesting a crop this year. The
grasshoppers will pretty surely
beat US to it, and unless we eX-
plain this situation to our rep
resentatives in Washingington,
there are no signs that we will
get it.
This something we all ought to
be able to get together on, so /
am asking that individuals, farm
organizations, and commercial
clubs make it their business to
put all the pressure they can on
our representatives in Washing
ton to secure this poison.
It's not only Sheridan county
that is infested with this pest, but
many other counties are in the
same danger of having their crops
destroyed, unless something is
done. The time to do this is right
now and not when the hoppers are
eating our crops. Then it is too
late to start saying that some
thing ought to be done about it.
l see no reason why a work pro
ject can not be made out OF
spreading this poison. There will
be plenty of people again this
summer who will be needing re-
lief in some form or other and
what kind of work can be more
useful to all the people than get
ting rid of this pest? And people
doing this work will be able K
start working right outside thei1
door.
Let's all take hand in this.
1 am especially asking the com
mercial clubs to take this up, al.
so newspapers that are interested
in helping the farmers harvest Z
crop SO they again can get OFF re
lief.
There is no doubt but the grass
hoppers last year did damage fol
a much greater value than all th'
relief we got during that crol
year, and indications are that the1
will be much worse this year.

Judicial Oligarchy
Attacked by Olson
Bx FLOYD B. Olson

Here's the public welfare clause
in our constitution, drafted by a
constitutional convention composed
almost entirely of agriculturists,
and the Supreme Court holds that
the public welfare clause does not
cover agriculture.
That is the most novel decision
I have seen yet. 1t bears out a
conviction l have had for some
time that the Supreme Court acts
as a governing body rather than
an interpreting body.
Ours is a government of checks
and balances, but there is no
check on the nine men on the SUI
preme Court unless you call a con-
stitutional amendment a balance.
The main argument of the court
majority, that the AAA is a vlo-
lation of states rights, is a leg1s-
tic subterfuge. If the Minnesota
Legislature undertook to pass a
law with reference to the produc-
ton or price of wheat, the Sup
RENE Court would hold it const1-
tuted an interference with inter
state commerce-then you'd see
states rights go into the ash can
By a to 3 decision, the cour'
invalidated North Dakota Law
which sought to require grain buy
ers to stop so-called dockage by
fixing new grades for wheat. 1t Il
impossible for the states to az
anything to help agriculture.
I say that despite the fact !
was against the AAA because l
was based on an economy of scar
city instead of an economy O.
abundance.
1 If the Democratic party has an!
courage it will propose some con
stitutional amendments to the vot
ers at the next election and max
them the basis of the contest
I Such amendments should b
framed to give the Federal gov
eminent greater powers OF regu
lation over matters of common
welfare, such as production OF 6as
/ ic food commodities and employ
ment.
/ Unemployment and agricultur
houd be made Federal problem
because the states cannot contrC
hem. We cannot even fix intra
tate rates on our railroads be
,ause the lines are part OF line

Light Weight Wheat
Not Recommended
For Use as Seed

INQUIRIES to the Extension Of
flee indicate that many farmers
are considering the use of light
weight wheat for seed, says M. j.
Peterson. County Extension Agent.
Seed wheat samples sent in by. the
farmers of Sheridan county test
ed for termination vary from 80
to 90 per cent. This indicates the
necessity for termination tests.
Generally speaking wheat should
weigh so pounds or more per BUSH
ell. If light weight wheat is used
it should be famed until this
weight is obtained. Even 30 pound
wheat may not gerninate prop
erly.
Experiments conducted this win
ter in the Montana State College
Greenhouse show that light weight
wheat does not have enough food
stored to withstand unfavorbale
cnditions such as extreme cold,
drought, and disease as well as
wheat weighing up to standards
m6nL1OLlSOs
The necessity for treating light
weight wheat for smut is espec-
ialIV great this year. Varieties
such as Ceres are especially sus-
ceptible to smut and under nc
circumstances should it be seeded
without treatment. The New I'M
proved Ceresan has been recon-
mended by farmers, lwho have
compared It with other smut
treatments) as being superior C
other smut treatments.
