Observations

Farmers Have Inning

Farmers Have Inning
The farmers of the Northwest
had an opportunity to express their
views on the agricultural situation
to the Senate Agricultural Commit
tee at st. Paul on Friday and Sat
urday of last week. Practically
every county in the Sixth District
was represented and some Of the
county delegations contained an i'm
pressive number.
Almost without exception those
who expressed their views main
tanned that dairy products and rye
should be included as basic conn.,
modities in the forthcoming legis-
lation and am in full accord with
their views. I would also include
potatoes. The AAA accomplished
very little for our part Of the coun-
try because of its failure to recog-
nize dairy products and rye as ba-
sic commodities and it was not un-
til the Soil Conservation Act went
into effect that we began to derive
some benefits. Certainly, these
three items will have to be includ-
ed If am to vote for the measure.
Z was very much impressed with
the talk made by John Brandt,
President Of the Land o. Lakes
Creameries. Mr.. Brandt asked for
sufficient tariff protection to give

POKEY DRIVERS BREAK
STATES NEW ROAD LAWS

'Pokey drivers are a menace on
the highway and whether they
know 1t or not are breaking the
state law when their road pace
forces traffic constantly to pass
around them"
Thus does w. F. Rosenwald,
state traffic engineer of the state
highway department, classify the
driver who loafs down the highway
with no regard for the traffic be-
hind.
tits true that in most instances
the person who drives 30 miles an
hour in zones where speed Of so
is reasonable are the old school and
sincerely look at themselves as the
only drivers practicing safety on
the road. Ironically, they go dan
gerously slow because they believe
in safety.
'But il the tortoise-like drivers
would consider that they are fore
ing traffic Of normal speed to flow
around their cars thereby CHANGING
headons with traffic from the cp-
posite direction, If they would con-
slider the chances that impatient
drivers will take to pass them, If
they would consider the wear and
tear on the nerves Of the drivers
behind them, they cannot help but
become aware that they are not
safe drivers but dangerous drivers
who at times constitute a bigger
threat to life and limb than the
motorist who consistently drives
over sixty. They gamble with their
neighbors' lives II not with their
own"
The highway patrol has been or
dered to pointedly warm pokey
drivers to step up their speed to a
reasonable rate. If these warnings
are not needed, they have instruc-
lions to bring offenders into court
for prosecution.

Two things in particular impress
themselves upon Capitol City visit
ors these days. The most outstand-
ing Is the growing uneasiness
among state employees resulting
from the purge" that Governor
Benson is prosecuting with increas-
ing vigor. The other is the swarm
Of people who are on the payrolls
wherever one looks throughout the
Capitol building.
In regard to the latter-we ran
across some rather interesting stat
istics on Friday while rummaging
around in some of the depart
ments. While waiting to interview

farmer; creation Of q surplus hold
ing pool for seasonal SURPRISES; and
regulations requiring that Ameri-
can importers be compelled to pur-
chase commodities produced under
the same sanitary regulations as
prevail in this country. say we
should at least place our foreign
competitors on the same level az
our own producers. Mr.. Brandt also
favored the inclusion Of dairy pro-
ducts in any farm measure.
I was glad to hear Mr.. Brandt
take the position that he did with
reference to protection for Ameri-
can agriculture, against the COM
petition of foreign peasants, poems
and coolies because have been
pleading for this very thing for
many years and I feel that he has
INDICATED my position.
Government To Buy Potatoes
On Friday last Farm Administra-
ton officials made public plans to
remove IS million bushels Of this
years large potato crop from nor
NAL trade channels. The feeding of
low grade potatoes to livestock and
their conversion into flour and
starch will be encouraged. 1t Is
hoped that this plan will result In
bringing the price of potatoes up
to level where the grower will net
a reasonable profit for his crop.
Since my last letter haven't
heard anything further from Wash
ington with regard to my proposal
that the government buy ten mil
lion bushels of rye for export. ! am
afraid that the bulk of this years
crop of rye is now out of the hands
of the growers so anything that Is
done now will be too late to be OF
help to the 1887 crop.
Wants World Government
I was very much surprised to
read in one of the twin city papers
a few days ago a communication
from Carl A. Ryan, who was the
FarmerLabor candidate for Con
gress in the Sixth District last fall
wherein he advocated a world gov
eminent. Perhaps I had better
quote from Mr.. Ryan's letter in or
der to do him justice. He says
president Roosevelt knows thai
only through the establishment Of
Democratic world government car
the earth be free from the curse Of
war. Today we have village govern
ment, city government, state gov
eminent, national government, and
the next logical step is world gov
eminent with an international con
gress backed by world courts, ar
International police and an interna
tiontl naval patrol"

with pulling chestnuts out Of thu
fire for England, France, Russis
and other European countries wher
we signed the Armistice on Novem

tive.

es of the peace.
Ed. McKeever, deputy director Of
the division Of Game and Fish, in
charge of law enforcement in the
division, stated that it is difficult
to secure convictions even when
the evidence is unquestionably
against the defendant.
I'm many instances coming to
our attention, defendants have been
dismissed without even the semb-
lance Of elaboration on the part of
the jury" Mr.. McKeever said.
"Such an attitude makes it almost
impossible for our state game war
dens to perform an adequate job"
Cases where possible will be
turned over to federal courts for
prosecution so that greater respect
for game and fish laws may result,
he stated.
No Danger In Eating Properly
Cooked Ducks
With Minnesota's annual duck
hunting season on in full blast,
Harry e. Speakes, director of the
division Of Game and Fish, assur-
ed residents that there Is no dang
er in eating wild ducks when the
food is well cooked.
University psychologists invest
igated two or three localized out
breaks of botulism in wild ducks
This is a type of food poisoning,
Occurring in September the condi-
ton is now practically non-existant
in the state.
Heat all of the meat for at least
20 minutes at the boiling point and
any danger will have been eliminat-
ed" Mr.. Speakes said.
Use of Motors For Duck Quest
Defined
It is illegal to use an ordinary
rowboat when hunting wild ducks
or other migratory waterfowl II {
motor is in the boat even though i
may be removed from actual posi-
BILE operation.
To clarity any misunderstanding
that may arise in the taking Of wa
terfowl from an ordinary rowboa
when the motor is detached from
the boat, Harry E. Speakes, direct
or Of the division Of Game ant
Fish, requested an opinion from
William s. Erwin, Minnesota's at
torney general.
'Tt is quite clear that in thu
event the motor is placed on shore
before shooting takes place, that i
would not be violation" Armont
D. Brattland, special attorney gen
eral assigned to the Department o.
Conservation, stated. "But the use
of a motor when travelling from one
part of the lake to another NIGH
constitute a violation as the law IN
defining "the taking of wild game
includes pursuing together witt

birds or quadrupeds.'

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home

I have q few hens In my flock
which In spite Of the fact that they
appear to be healthy and have
good weight, have become lame,
sometimes being unable to walk.
What causes this?
This is difficult to say, but If the
birds appear to be in good laying
condition with good red combs and
full, soft abdomens, it is likely that
they are suffering from insufficient
cod liver oil. This may occur If a
normal amount of cod liver oil Is
used. The way to discover a cod
liver oil deficiency is to feed each
Affected bird a little of the oil; the
birds will recover if lack Of oil
causes the condition. An extra pint
of the oil may be added to 100
pounds Of mash If this condition is

In addition to providing for price

the bills through as they are now
written and calling for the creation
of a new highway safety division.
But this is not regarded as likely
Il seriously doubt if there will be
any chance of getting the bills
through the House at all, unless the
provisions for creating a new High
way Safety Commission are removed"
Representative Con c. Johnston, of
Irelell county, chairman of the
House Committee on Roads, which
has been considering the bills, said
today. For while I personally be-
lieve that the highway patrol, the
drivers license division and the pro-
posed bureau of identifications should
be grouped into a new department
with an able man at it's head, re-
sponsible only to the Governor, the
outlook for making these changes at
this session do not seem to be very
bright"
One of the difficulties involved in
making any transfer of the highway
patrol and drivers license division to
the governors office or to a new
commission, is the fact that the APP
propriation for both of these agen-
cies is now Jumped with the appro-
priation for both of these agencies
is now Jumped with the appropriations
for the Department of Revenue and
the motor vehicle bureau. This means
that a supplemental bill would have
tc be introduced and passed by both
houses separating the appropriation.
The Revenue Department also main
tains that if this change is made, it's
appropriation will have to be increas-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 a year to
provide additional license inspectors
for the motor vehicle bureau.
With the House getting begged
down deeper and deeper every day
and with members of both houses be-
coming more and more inclined to
kill bills about which any controversy
arises, most observers feel that, while
the assembly may transfer these high
way safety activities to the governor
are more likely to stay just where
| they are-in the revenue department.

PREDICT $4,000 MORE
FOR SCHOOL SUPPORT

The state public school fund will
supply 100000 for the support this
school year according to the estimate
made by c. Fl. Williams, superintend-
ent, using the average daily attend
anee Of pupils for the last school year
as the basis of computation, which is
the method followed in determining
the actual payments from this fund
for the ensuing school year.
This amount will come direct to
the 19 school districts Of the county,
distributed on the basis of pupil at
tendance Of the previous year. It in
cludes allotments for the purpose Of
payment Of school operating costs,
transportation, and tuition. Quarterly
distribution Of the state public school
fund are made each school year on
the last day Of August November,
February and May.
The amount as computed for the
new school year will represent an APP
proximate increase of $4,000 over the
receipts Of the former school year.
