No subject is more difficult to discuss
than the trade pacts as they relate to agri-
culture. Unfortunately they have been
made a partisan issue. Those who favor the
treaties admit that they do not know yet
what is going to be the final result and those
who most vigorously oppose them publicly
admit privately that there is definite possi-
bility that in the long run the direct and the
indirect benefits will be greatly in favor of
farmers as whole, although some farm
groups may suffer.
There is no question but that at the
South ST. Paul market this spring the pacts
were a direct influence towards lower prices
for cattle but there may have been influences
elsewhere set in motion by these pacts that
actually, in raising the general level of farm
prices, offset even to these cattlemen the
direct harm done. In other words, it is
possible and even likely that the prices re-
ceived for the cattle would not have. been
any higher than if the pacts had not been
made because of the demand created else
where for meats competitive to beef.
While the imports of farm products in
creased "a per cent in the six months which
the treaty has been in effect, shipments to
Canada also increased the same amount,
while non-agricultural products imported
from Canada rose % per cent but exports

was perfect from the farm standpoint but
in non-agricultural products the balance was
in favor of Canada and against us. This is
just the opposite of what the political pro-
pagandists would have us believe. They have
continually charged that the farmers were
being sold down the river in favor of in
dustry in these pacts.
This tariff is ticklish question. When
ever the farmers have advocated a high
tariff they have been stung. This is what
they did in the election of 1923 and what
they got was high tariff on industrial art
icles which served practically as an embar-
go on all foreign imports, ruined our foreign
markets for farm products and widened the
spread between what the farmer was getting
for his products and what he paid for the
things he bought. Wheat fell so low that he
couldn't get enough for it to pay for the
hauling to town to the elevator; corn dropped
to eight cents bushel. Always so far,
therefore, have the farmers suffered from
high tariff propaganda. Frequently it has
been Westerner, too, who has fostered it..
Look at Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ia, co-father of the McCumber-Ford tar
iff bill, ruinous to farmers, and Senator
Smoot of Utah, co-author of the Smoot- -Haw-
ley bill, which, in combination with the
monetary policy of the man from California,
brought farming in this country nearly to
absolute ruin.-Westerners all of them

Senatorial Prospects

THE ALREADY highly involved Mime
sofa political situation became all the
= more so last week when the Farmer
Labor powers chose Ernest Lundeen as their
candidate for United States senator, the Of
flee now held by Elmer Benson who hopes to
become governor; and sought until his death
by Governor Floyd B. Olson.
Long associated with labor factions in
Minnesota politics, Mr. Lundeen is hardly a
candidate around whom farmers will take
pleasure in rallying. Lundeen has clearly in
dicated leaning toward Lemke for presi-
dent. which isn't following Governor Olsons
leadership or a deathbed statement of the
late governor giving counsel to his party.
Essentially a labor man, Lundeen'S sim
cere interest in the Lemke candidacy and the
FraZier-Lemke bill may be questioned in the
light of that measures recent defeat at the
hands of labor members of congress. If
Lundeen now cherishes hope of helping
enact the Frazier-Lemke bill, it is something
of a reversal of his stand on farm matters.
Lundeen may contend that he foresaw
its downfall before the supreme court in eX-
planning his vote against the AAA which,
with all its faults and eventual defeat, was
the greatest attempt ever made to improve
the position of the American farmer. He will
find farmers divided on the advisability Oh
his vote against reciprocal trade treaties but
his mo" to the soil conservation act will cost
him farm votes.
That is it would if farmers were alto
gether satisfied with his opponent. His only
opposition comes from Theodore Christian
son whose stand on farm affairs is bit in
definite. Christianson voted for the AAA
and good many other new deal measures
when it was popular to stand by the presi-
dent. Now he is out telling what silly things
the democrats have done.
Personally we question whether the
farmer is going to get any appreciable break
with the election OF either

Racket Advertising

THE MERCHANT who does not believe
in advertising, one form or another, is
a rare creature in this day of high
powered selling and when by chance he is
stumbled on, the chances are hundred to
one that he was soured on all advertising by
falling for some type of racket promotion,
perhaps once but just as likely a dozen
times.
Although press associations frown upon
it and publishers talk against it at every
convention, occasional newspapers still go in
for types of advertising which should be
outlawed. One is the old familiar whose
who" page about which we warn our GUS
toners and friends on an average of once or
twice per year. In this game, the publisher
sells space to a promoter at regular rates
and allows him to resell the space at several
times regular prices.
The game is accomplished almost invar-
iably by telephone, the reason being that the
canned copy sounds good but looks as drab
as page of legal notices when all the flow
cry phrases are set in eight point type and
crowded together. Such advertising gets
about the same attention as legal notice
and very naturally doesn't tend to make a
regular, satisfied advertiser out of the vic
tim.

County Colony

COMETIMES an idea which appears to be
excellent does not work out as perfect
~ ly as expected when put in practice.
This may be the case with the county col
ony scheme.
1t was considered first rate idea to
construct inexpensive cottages on county
property near the county home in which to
house families which are consistently men
toned in official proceedings as county
charges.
The county is saving the rent on city
property where the colonists had lived and
the board is spared some of the complaints
from former neighbors of the charges.
But the colonists have never been salts
fled. Electric lights are not provided, a long
established county policy, although the de-
mand has been insistent. School authorities
were pressed for bus to haul colony chill
dren the short distance into town for school
but complainers were told the walking is
good.
Other such Incidents have come up and
been disposed of but the discipline problem
is more serious one. Drinking has led to
brawls involving several of the families liv-
ing there. How bitter feeling exists among
the residents there is only understood by
those who happened to visit the second floor
of the Granite block Monday and had their
eardrums pounded by coarse shouts of the
female colonists which drowned out the de-
mands of judge, sheriff and attorneys for
order.
1t is not yet time to condemn the pro-
ject for it has very definite advantages. But
unless possession of liquor by county
charges can be made a serious crime and
the regulations enforced, we fear life on the
relief coast will never be peaceful.

FIRST
MOTH HERE

Posing with the first large moth
to appear in Washington this
spring was the distinction enjoyed
today by Miss Margaret Bailie, Of
Clarendon, Va.
After admiring its brilliant old
rose and olive green markings.
Miss Bailie learned her new pet
is scientifically known as Philo-
samio cynthia, and is a native Of
China which became inadvertently
tranSplanted to the Middle At.
lantic States during the Civil War.
Quite common in local back
yards, where its caterpillar feeds
on ailanthuS trees, the cynthia
moth usually appears in the adult
stage in late May or June. The
winged creatures live less than q
week, and are incapable Of feeding
because they have no digestive
apparatus.
Miss Bailie also learned that Of
the more than 5000 varieties Of
moths found in the United States,
ranging in size from microscopic
bugs" to bird-like specimens with
a wing spread Of seven inches,
only two species in this territory
have caterpillars that damage
clothes or rugs. The rest feed on
leaves and grasses.
