Agricultural Notes

I have noticed some silver-gray
insects in my attic, a distinguish
ing characteristic of which are
three long slender projections at
the tail end. What are they, and
how may they be controlled?
The insects are called silverfish,
or bristle tails, the latter name
coming from the projections. The
silver color is due to a covering
Of scales. Usually these insects are
not sufficiently numerous to cause
damage, but when they are, they
sometimes nibble at fabrics. They
have been known to eat the starch
under wallpaper and loosen 1t over
a considerable area. Stored pro-
ducts may be protected from these
insects by using a product known
as dichlorocide. Sprinkling infested
areas with mixture of 1 part
sodium fluoride in IL parts flour
Is also effective. Where bristle tails
congregate in large numbers they
may be killed with a kerose n e.

Sank Centre, Mimi.
August %, 1888
To the Herald:
Some of our well informed bust
ness men maintain that the ap-
praised value of Sank Centre is too
high, and should be lowered. That
matter received the first considera-
ton of your appraiser, and is duly
being considered by the Board of
Equalization.
No definite information has been
furnished to show that a general re-
duction is justified, but l have OBJ
tanned information indicating that
an investigation might confirm
such a contention. Reduction in
appraised values would bring a
higher rate, state rate remain the
same, and the county rate would
not be appreciably more, so such
reduction should mean a less tax
to pay.
This problem is the most import
ant one before the Board of Equal
ization. 1t is rather difficult to re-
duce values withut first having good
reasons so to do, because the State
Tax Commission has the authority
to raise all values if they can show
cause.
My appraised values of Sank Cen
tire real estate total per cent be-
low the 1886 values. The Board of

Farmers Interested

With Co. Agent, st. Cloud

A large number of the farmers
in Stearns county will soon be TAX
ing advantage of the loan program
available on wheat under the pro-
visions aof the AAA of 1889. Com
modify loans are available on
wheat stored on farms and approx
ed country elevators. According to
the county agents office at st.
Cloud many farmers in Stearns
county will be making loans this
year. On Tuesday, August ~, COM
mitteemen, wheat sealers and in
spectors were called together for
the district meeting at st. Cloud to
review the plans to conduct the
program. These men will soon have
their supplies and will be ready to
make bin inspections and do the
job of sealing. All folks interested
in securing loans communicate with
the county agents office at St.
Cloud, MINI.
Folks interested in storing the
wheat on farms should make sure
that their granary is in satisfac-
tory condition to keep the wheat in
good condition for a period of
time. The wheat loans mature
May 81, 1889 and bear interest at
4 per cent, To secure loan 1t Is
necessary that wheat grades at
least No. or better. Basic loan
rates for Minnesota farmers at ter
minal markets in Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth are No. 1 dark
northern spring, Bic, No. 1 north
ern spring, 79c, No. 2 amber durum,
TIC, No. 2 red durum, 55c, No. 2
hard winter, 75c. The loan rate
value out in Stearns county will of
course be slightly below the rates
at the terminal market plus &c
handling charge. This Of course
does not hold true where grain is
stored on farms. One regulation of
special interest to farmers is that
providing an allowance of 7c bus
hel to the borrower who finally de-
livers his wheat in payment of the
loan. This 7c allowance will be paid
to farmers who store their wheat
on farms if the price of wheat does
not rise sufficiently to enable him
to pay the loan. This Is an encour-
agement for storing the wheat on
farms which should appeal to far
mers who are in a position to pro-
vide their own storage.

Equalization figures total 2.48 pei
cent above 1886, the raise in dol
lars being $44.6S2. The 1886 rea
estate value is $1,794,2 29.
The Board of Equalization fig.
ures are more nearly correct than
mine, if the same base valuation
figures are to be followed, because
there is fully SCI, 400 in new con-
struction which does not show in
the 1896 figures. I recognize the
Board of Equalization raises as be-
ing fully justified in the most part,
for these raises surely make for a
closer equality between actual dol
lar value which each taxpayer poss-
esses, and the amount of tax which
each pays.
Speaking from the taxpayers
standpoint, I feel that a general
reduction would be treading on
dangerous ground, unless informa-
ton tending to justify such re-
duction is first obtained. The cost
of obtaining such information
would probably be less than the
cost of a reassessment which might
be ordered by the Minnesota State
Tax Commission, or which might be
done by their own men at our ex-
pense, a situation which happened
to the village of Mound this sum-
mer. I would certainly regret a
causing the State Board
to step in, for am sure we can run
our own affairs capably if we work
such problems out sincerely and in
diligently. am impressed with
the sincerity of the Board, and OF
course they are handling it in an
manner, but I am equal
ly certain that more information
should be obtained before any gen
eral reduction is made.

FAIR SPEAKER
HAROLD E. STASSEN

Those attending the Stearns
County fair at Sank Centre Mon
day evening will have an opportun-
ity to hear Harold E. Stassen, hard
hitting candidate for governor. He
comes from Glenwood, where he
will speak in the afternoon and
Tuesday will be at Breckenridge,
for an address before the Wilkin
county fair crowd.
With characteristic frankness,
Mr.. Stassen charges that insofar as
the Benson machine is concerned

or glittering illusions, has asked

New Deal professors have calmly
told the people not to worry. 1t
will be taken from the rich, they
say, and the cost of building dams,
trimming trees, producing terrible
plays and other federal projects will
be paid from taxes taken out of the
Golfers Of Henry Ford, and the
Rockefellers and Duponts.
But now the time has come when
all good taxpayers will have to
come to the aid of the party. The
gentlemen with million dollar in
comes can no longer be depended
on to foot the bills. Most Of their
money-up to eighty per CENTS
now being taken from them. If all
the rest were extracted and they had
to get in the relief line with the
rest of us, the amount SO collected
would run the government, at its
present spending rate, for a few
days only.
So new story Is being told. Not
long ago Senator La Toilette called
Walls Of wrath down on his head
because he suggested that the ex-
emptions on the lower income brac-
kets ought to be lowered, so that
the boys and girls with smaller in
comes could be tapped. Now SEN
ator Pat Harrison, chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, a sound
and hardheaded financier, by no
means in sympathy with profiigacy,
has come forward with the state
ment that if the present expendi-
lures and collections keep up, with
expenditures remaining far out in
front Of receipts, the next Congress
will have to take more taxes from
the little fellows.
Senator Harrison stated that 1--WE
face a deficit in this fiscal year of
some $3,9O0,0O0. II conditions do
not improve by the time of the ses-
sion we naturally will have to con-
slider lowering income tax exemp-
tons and perhaps broadening the
middle brackets. But hope we
won't have to do 1t.
There won't be any new taxes if
/ can help it unless we have to
raise more revenue to save the
credit of the country. would rath-
er that it be done through a pick
up in business and a curtailment of
government expenses"
Senator Harrison stated off the
record that the present nuisance
taxes" and the undistributed pro-
fits tax would have to be contin-
ued, with the prospect of more in
come taxes, of course, coming in
addition.
Senator Harrison wisely express
ed the hope that the necessity for
tax burdens could be OBJ
waited by a pickup in business and
a curtailment of government ex-
penses. Most unbiased observers
are not optimistic on this score. OF
course they are hoping for and ex-
pecting a pickup of business in the
fall, of some kind, but even the
most hardened optimists do not
look for a curtailment of govern
ment expenditures. The last Con-
gress appropriated four and half
billions for relief. With no signs
of a permanent recovery and with
the next Presidential elections just
around the corner, no decrease in
government spending is in sight.
The Pollyanna predictions Of no
higher taxes on the common man
are about to fade IN the light of
present economic conditions. But
you ought not to object if you help
ed plan it that way.-Ex.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
POT AND KETTLE
From Our Exchanges

Quite regularly we hear a ter
rible wall about Hobbies at Wash
ington, which would indicate that
our Senators and Congressman are
being influenced" against their
will by designing persons who
would mould them to their hearts
desire.
This is a lot of bunk. In the
first place, if a member Of Con-
gress has not sense enough or
courage enough to form his own
opinions and act upon them, he
ought to resign and go home. Be-
sides, there is no reason to cen
denim lobbyists for one class and
commend lobbyists for another
class. Every important group in the
nation has its lobbyists in Wash,
ington.
The farmers have their lobby,
SO have the labor unions, the vet
Grams, the prohibitionists, the blue
law advocates, the various indus
tries-in fact every conc e Nv a b e
class, either constantly or at inter-
walls, is importuning Congress to
do, or not do, this or that.
AS intimated above, if Congress.
men are fit to be Congressman
there is little harm in the long run
in having representatives Of var
ious groups in Washington to pre-
sent their views and give informa-
ton respecting them.I
There is little sincerity in lob
byists of one group denouncing
lobbyists of an opposing group. 1t
is case of the pot calling the ket-
tie black.-Exchange
