A Threat To Dairy Farming

When unfettered by artificial control, the ma
tura tendency is to raise the various products Of
the farm in best suited to their economical
and profitable production Farmers in the North Cen
trail States well as in several of the Western
States have found this be true in the production
of dairy products, and the principle applies to the
raising of livestock, as we'll as to crops grown dir
ecty from the soil. dsqueting note to dairy farm
is the interest which is developing in the South
in the matter of daryng and livestock raising
The Southern farmer. induced by the government
to curtail his cotton production is turning his other
wise idle acres to stock raising and dairying.
According to census reports just released an in
terestng shift in the livestock industry is noted This
report reveals that six million cattle being
raised farms in the cotton belt which did not
raise cattle before and the has half mil
lion more brood sows than in 1880. Under the new
Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, it is
predicted that the Southern farmer will turn his at
tention also to dairying and the raising of legumes,
In the meantime Brazil and other foreign coun
tries are rapidly increasing their cotton acreage.
Livestock and dairy farming in the South is not
conducive to better prices and it threatens overpro-
duction and decided loss to those communities
turally adapted to dayng and livestock production.

Minneapolis Needs 1t
From Our Exchanges

Chicagos offer to help Minneapo.
lis do a much needed job of house
cleaning causes the risibles to rise.
Had the offer come from a city
whose own political skirts were
clean 1t would have been more
apropos. But Minneapolis needs a
thorough application of soap and
water. The fact that the present
chief executive of the state (born
and reared in Minneapolis) has
steadily allied himself with the un-
derworld, has caused Communists
and other undesirables to make
Minneapolis the Mecca for their
unholy activities. The present may
or of Minneapolis was elected by
these elements. At the election last
May when he was chosen, fifty
thousand registered citizens stayed
at home, but the undesirables all
went to the polls and voted. Is it
any wonder that the bad eggs" are
so much in evidence?-A. M.
Welles in Northfield News.
Roosevelt's new farm bill has
made it tough for the dairy farm
er of Minnesota. There could be
some offset to this damage if Con-
gress would put a healthy tax on
butter substitutes. The sale of such
substitutes increased so per cent
in 1885 over 1884 More than $780,
900 pounds were sold and the num-
ber of dealers handling it was trip
led. This equals the production of
million and a half dairy cows.
The government taxes colored oleo-
margarine, but on uncolored butter
substitutes which make up the
great bulk Of the sales, the tax is
only one-fourth cent a pound And
practically no tariff protection is
given against the foreign fats and
oils which make up "a per cent of
the fats and oils used in making
butter substitutes. If Roosevelt real
ly wants to help Minnesota farm
ers, he could get tax on "ole" to
help make up for what they will

Rural ElectrificatiOn

With rural identification one of the vital prob
lens of today, the scarcity of electric service on
American farms is surprising especially so is that
true of the state of Minnesota where only 6S percent
of the farms receiving central station electricity
chart prepared by the Rural Electrification
as compared with other modern conveniences on the
farm such the radio, telephone and the automo-
bile and yet it is true that its would be greater
asset in farm operation than any other power now
available.
In the United States the farms with electric
power would total only about Is percent, while 50
percent without this convenience. Sixty percent
telephones and thirty percent equipped with
dios.
Running water in the buildings is made available
through electric service Consequently this service
the farms is the percentage ratio cleo
tricy, namely IS percent with and So percent with
out water pped into the buildings.
Minnesota, although not the lowest in rural cleo
trificaton, ranks with the lowest in the Union, and
is listed with twenyhree other states in the lower
states of the Mississippi with the exception Of
Iowa. and the Southern states. Heaviest of
rural electrfication in the Northeastern states
including Iowa Wisconsin and Illinois, and in the
far Western states In of the Southern, well
as the md-Western States rural of electricity is
almost non-eXistent.
The REA project will make electricity available
practically all farms, and although the Stearns
county project has not been allowed plans for its
early completion are being made through the county
unit.
The standard of living American farms is not
what it should be what the farmers entitled to.
However, rural electrifcatiOn is step in the right
direction and its early installation will enhance
farming, IS well values of farm lands

School Dist. 43,492,213 31,O10,824
One of the things that should be
noted especially by the casual
reader Is the fact that counties,
townships, cities, villages, and
school districts have cut their tax
es in the past five years, while the
state of Minnesota has increased
its levies.
Another thing of Importance Is
the fact that the smaller the gov
ernmental unit is the more 1t has
cut it's taxes. School districts and
townships the smallest government
tai units in our system of govern
ment had made remarkable prog
ress in cutting taxes. Counties were
not so economical, while the state
government actually piled up
huge deficit besides raising its tax
es nearly as much as the other
smaller units cut theirs!
In this report may be found the
greatest argument ever to be ad-
vanced against the Capitalization
of power in either the federal or
state governments.-Cla Inde-
pendent.

Fish as well as wild game need
the assistance of man both in win
ter and summer. In the warmer
months when the season is open
and sometimes when 1t is not, fish
ermen are apt to take more than
the limit, by hook, spear or dyna-
mite. This winter the ice has froz-
en- SO thick as to cause fish to suf-
focate in many of our lakes. Last
week Game Warden Raumer,
Councilman Chiodini, and others
came to the rescue of the finny
tribe in Moose lake, south of Eve
leth, by opening up air holes. There
is no telling how large the loss will
be in the countless lakes in this
state on account of severe cold
weather and thick ice this winter.

Prompt Work Saves Thousands of Fish

EVeeth.-Thousands of fish were saved in Moose

ened to exterminate all living matter in the lake For
three days employees provided by the council and the
club, working under game wardens, cut the ice
away making channels and air holes for the fish The
situation occurred when thousands of fish were fore
ed to seek air in the springs located along the
Tor about 200 feet, the ice locking them into this
small area Thousands died of suffocaton and others
were frozen into the ice but the prompt measures of
relief aided in saving the majority of the lakes fnny
