eat. Would 1t pay me to grind or

In general. it will not pay you to
grind or chop coarse hay this year,
especially when hay is as plentiful
and cheap as it is in Minn O a
now. Grinding or chopping hay will
not make the cows eat any more
pounds of it, nor will it make the
hay any more digestible. However,
you may make poor hay m ore
palatable by sprinkling a little mo-
lasses-sweetened water over 1t.
These poor roughages need a high
protein supplement fed with them
to give satisfactory results with
any class of livestock.-H. r. Scar

that the policies laid down by the
National Labor Relations Board
were influenced If not dictated by
John L. Lewis, President of the
c. 1. o. We have not yet gotten to
the point where we can get along
without the employer and it is
therefore incumbent upon us to
see that he at least gets a fair
break to which he is entitled but
is not now getting.
Sharing Profits With Labor
A very interesting hearing is be-
ing conducted in Washington these
days which has to do with the pro-
posal of big business to share all
profits with their Employees.
Strange to say, labor leaders are
opposed to it on the theory that it
is an attempt to substitute the plan
for collective bargaining. 1 do not
believe that their fears are well
founded. Certainly if an employee
has a stake in the earnings of the
concern for which he is working II
is going to stabilize labor relations
and at the same time give every
incentive to become more efficient
and in othr ways have a greater re-
gard for the welfare of his en-
ployer. The plan is now being used
by some large industries with very
good success. It's universal opera
ton would drive the agitator and
racketeer out of business.
Opposes Return OF Colonies
It is said on high authority that
the American government is strong.
ly opposed to the return to Ger
many of the West African colonies
taken from that country at the
end of the World War. If the re-
port is true President Roosevelt
should be censored for interior
ing in a matter with which we
have no concern. This is not the
first time that he has stuck his
head out" in European affairs
and it is beginning to look to me
as though he is seeking to go down
in history as war President,
otherwise why would he ask for
such enormous sum of prepared
ness on land and sea, and also,
why does he continually interject
himself into questions with which
we have little or no concern. Mr..
Roosevelt must realize that the
more we interfere in European af-
fairs the more likely we are to be
drawn into the next war. 1t would
seem that he has his hands full
at home with between II and II
million people out of work, with
factories running only part time or
completely shut down and with
over 20 millions on relief.
He demonstrated his weakness
for butting in when he attempted
to purge certain Senators and
Congressman in the late campaign.
At that time he got his wrists
spanked for his pains, but inter-
fering with foreign affairs is a
much more serious matter. I am
thinking that we will give a sigh
of relief when his successor is
sworn in.

Observations
from Washington
By CONGRESSMAN KnuttsOn

Could Not Make Trip Over District
This letter is written from my
bed in the st. Cloud Hospital
where 1 will be confined for a
week or two as a result of having
fractured an arm just below the
shoulder while on a trip to the
western part of the State where !
had been to visit the Lac Qui Parle
Water Conservation Project on
Wednesday of last week.
AS a result of the accident it was
necessary for me to cancel the
trip that 1 arranged to make over
the District for the convenience OF
those who wished to see me and
since the time that Congress will
convene is drawing nigh, l suppose
the trip will have to be postponed
until next year. Let me suggest to
those who had planned to see me
on this trip that they write me
fully as to what they had in
mind. can assure them that their
communications will receive every
attention.
British Canadian Trade Agreements
It is much too early to pass
judgement upon the trade treaties
that were recently signed between
this country and Britain and Can
ada. The importance of the British
Canadian markets to American ex-
ports is reflected in these figures:
American exports to the United
Kingdom in 1886 were $40, 122, 900,
accounting for 10 per cent of this
country's total exports to all coun-
tries. In 1885 the trade was $433,-
399, 900. In 1929 before the British
Empire preferences were clamped
on, American exports to the United
Kingdom were $848, 100000. Simil-
arly, Canada, Americas second
largest customer, purchased 1884,
ISL, 900 in American products in
1896, a gain under the first year
of the Canadian trade treaty Of
$50, 957 900 over the previous year.
The United States provides nearly
so per cent Of Canada's entire for
eign purchases.
In view of the above figures it
would seem the part of wisdom to
suspend judgement until we can
see how the trade gre m s
work out. In the final analysis the
whole thing is trade arrangement
and therefore must be a give and
take proposition.
Will Amend Wagner Act
The next Congress will undoubt-
eddy make some drastic changes in
the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
AS it is now worded the employer Is
absolutely lestopped from doing
anything to protect his own inter-
ests whenever differences arise
with his employees. The admins
tration of the Act has been very
bad and there is strong suspicion

Which Is better to feed hogs, wet

Dry-rendered tankage is more
palatable, has higher quality of pro

wet-rendered tankage. It also has
higher quality protein and greater
feeding value than meat and bone
scraps. Wet-rendered tankage and
meat and bone scraps, however
may be fed satisfactorily by mixing
them with vegetable protein sup
plements. Such additions do not Inn

THE LONG VALLEY
by John Steinbeck

Some of the finest work that the
author of "Of Mice and Men" has
ever produced has been in the short
story or novelette, form. Always a
superb craftsman who leans to
economy of words and directness
and concreteness of impression,
Steinbeck often includes in a sin
gle tale as much material as
another author would spread thin
ly throughout novel.
Many of the stories in this vol
ume have been widely talked about
but never before been available to
the general public. Two, Flight"
and "The Leader of the People,"
have never before been printed.
One, Saint Katy the Virgin" was
issued only in a private edition of
which no copies were for sale. One,
the famous RED Pony" which
some people consider the greatest
thing Steinbeck has ever done, has
only been available heretofore in
AN edition limited to 500 copies at
$40 a copy, of which the publishers
have long been out of stock.
Altogether there are in this vol
ume sixteen magnificent stories,
counting the three part of 1.-THE
Red Pony" Almost all of them are
set against the BACKGROUND of the
Salinas Valley that Steinbeck has
preempted as his literary domain.
Here we see once more the paisan-
os of Tortilla Flat, the barley ranch
hands of Mice and Men, the agri-
cultural workers of In Dubious
Battle-the farm boys, the idlers
on the wharves of Monterey, the
simple people Of the land so pro-
foundly brought to life in all of
Steinbeck's work.

BOOK SHELF
THE JOYFUL DELANEYS
by Hugh Walpole
BY Bernice FnneS0n

they were all playboys, and
to be that at this terrible time of
world crisis was dreadful indeed"
Hugh Walpole, the most robust
romanticist of our time, has writ
ten the story of gay, irresponsible
family faced with the aggressive
march of poverty, who continue to
play when they should be working
to laugh when they might have
cried, and to help others as much
as themselves.
When Fred Delaney wished his
lodger, Patrick Munden, revolu-
tionary what Happy New Year,
dt was with a fervor that echoed
the wish for himself because the
year held little promise. True, he
had his own cheerful family with
him under one roof, but what would
they do if the house had to go
finally, after one hundred and fifty
years? What of Meg, his buoyant
wife; and of Kitty, their beauti-
ful daughter; or Bullock, their
novel writing son who picked up
cigarette money by writing for
Punch? The story of what did hap
pen to the Delaneys that year and
to the roomers who lived on the
second, third and fourth floors, is
a picture of the past, present and
future.
Hugh Walpole has created a
group of convincing and arresting
