There is no reason why the farmers of our country should not organize into associations for their mutual benefit and progress. In fact itis a wonder such has not happened many years ago. Many problems have confronted the farmers which in their own way they have tried individually to solve, or it may be that a community of farmers may n some instances have combined to present a stronger front than the individual only to find a still stronger array of talent and influence opposed to them. There is no question but that in the past as a class the farmer has not been able to make himself heard in the legislative halls of our country as he should be heard and there is no wonder that at last they had found it necessary to combine their entire forces to put over their programs. Byt the unfortunate part ‘of ‘this campaign has been the’ ‘man or men they have allowed to set themselves up at the head of their organization and dominate it with such principles and movements as will eventu- ally, yes, which has already, made them ‘more gervile than they ever were under their former conditions. ] ; What a pity such men as A. C. Townley should have been allowed to be set up as self-styled leaders of honest, hardworking men? Never have any group . of men, be they farmers or others, been so flag- rantly exploited as have been the followers of * this czar. It is a pleasure to turn from the machinations of such men and discover that there is in. existence and bidding fair to become a tremendous- power . such an organization as the International Farm Congress. When all the farmers of America join together under such a platform as this congress has adopted they will find no opposition from the press of the country, but on the contrary will be heartily supported and will win the respect of all classes. The principles as laid down by the International congress reads as follows: 1. Undivided loyalty to country, first and al- ways, with no conflicting obligations; the protection of its institutions and the preservation of -its tradi- tions. A 2. Pledging adequate production on the farm, and demanding it in the factory. 3. The enactment and enforcement of such leg- islation as will reduce the spread in prices between Aprodncer and consumer to 8 minimum, with severe punishment for all profiteers. 4. Prompt suppression of all industrial disorders, and the deportation of all alien agitators and red flag Yollowers. i 5. Requiring all able-bodied men to work a reasonable number of hours per day or week, at some constructive or useful occupation. 6. Opposition to the calling of strikes for any reason other than emergency, and demanding that ' _ industrial strife be settled by arbitration. —_— ————e SORGHUM CANE GOOD b CROP FOR MINNESOTA| It is pointed out by John J. Wil- laman, of the agricultural .bioche- mistry division of the Minnesota col- lege of agriculture, that although Minnesota is on the northmost limit of the sorghum growing regions of the country, the United State census shows that the tonnage of sorghum to the acre is greater in this state ihan the average for the country. Ac- cording to Mr. Willathan, Minnesota growers can expect 10 tons to the acre on the average. If care in plant- ing, cultivation and choice of seed is taken, 12 or 13 toms can be ob- tained, and in favorable seasons 15 to 18 tons to the acre is not unusual. The cane brings from $7 to $9 a ton at the sirup mill. “No wonder then,” says Mr. Willa- man, “that farmers are enthusiastic about having a sorghum sirup mill in the neighborhood. It means an outlet for a cash crop with very satis- factory returns. “Hand stripping of the cane, hand reading and hand bundling are now done away with in the up-to-date sirup factory. A corn binder is driven through the field and the bundles of whole cane are hauled away to the mill. In other words, the crop is handled from planting time through harvest exactly like corn. The mill has machinery which removes the heads and leaves.” WAIT, DONT OPERATE Take Sto-l-gal. & Doctor's Prescription for Dissolving Gall Stones and for ted Stomach Ailments.
