OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS IR =S iincisinns st e oo o A R SRR = MINNESOTA LEADS U. S, IN POTATO ACREAGE iMiiss Ethyl Carlson, Mrs. Q-car Hoglum called Henry Sawyer last Thursday. Mrs. George Luck was quite seri-| ously ill last week, but at this writing | she is slightly improved. According to the census taken last year, Minnesota leads all other states of the Union in acreage of potatoes. Minnesota had 331,930 acres planted to potatoes in 1919, while Ngw York, next in acreage, had 310,403, Wisconsin coming third with 294,424, and Michigan fourth with 280,538 acres. In yieid, New York comes first with 32,470,847 bus}lels; Minneso- ta second, with 26,690,056; Wisconsin third, with 26,376,021, and Maine fourth, with 25,531,470 bushels. All of the northwest states and eastern states showed a much lower acreage in 1919 than in 1909, with the exception of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Wisconsin acreage increased a little over 4,000 acres, while Minnesota acreage jumped from 223,- 692 to 331,930, an increase of over 108,000 acres. The very noticeable fact, however, is that while there was this enormous increase in acreage in Minnesota, there was a decrease in yield of 102,000 bushels, and in Wisconsin the decrease in yield was ..5,500,000 bushels. The state of Maine, with about one-third the acreage of Minnesota, yielded in 1919 within 1,150,000 bushels as much as Minnesota. This shows the value of intensive aoriculture so far as potato-raising is concerned. The fields in Maine are on an average much smaller than in the western states, and the yield is almost three times as great. The farmers and potato growers of Minnesota are losing much money from improper grading and marketing, according to the state denartment of agriculture, and, to overcome this, meetings are to be held all'over Minnesota by that department for the purpose of better acquainting the potato-raiser and Mr. and Mrs. Hanson from Sugar- bush, vigited with Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Roghoit, entoute to attend the servi- ces at the Silver Lake school.

But that time is not now. It has not been for many years. | The man behind the counter or the plow is just as vitally| interested in state and national affairs as is his cousin in the great city. ' ! The foreign news is just as carefully scanned from day to! day, and the field of research and invention is religiously scru- tinized. : | There is little that transpires in the world of affairs that is not known and understood by the man in his rural home, for it is through his constant search for advanced knowledge of a| practical nature that he is enabled to keep pace with the swift-| ly moving tides of life. If a just comparison could be made, it is probable that,| man for man, the person in the country town or on the farm! would be found to be better posted on the affairs of the world in general than the average dweller of any of the great cities. O GUARANTY OF OPPORTUNITY ONLY “Just as the Pilgrims had a vractical mind for material things amid effective pursuit of their higher ideals, so must| we with our inheritance. God never intended an achievement without great effort; there is no reward without great labor; freedom is the field of endeavor, not the fancied abode of idle- ness. Just as these fathers drew together toward ample com-| munity authority to make the nation and still preserve the free-| dom of those who compose it, so must we guard against the su-| preme centralization of power at home, and the super-state for| the world. More, we must combat the menace in the growing| assumption that the state must support the people, for just gov- ernment is merely the guaranty to the people of the right and! opportunity of that people to support themselves. The one out- standing danger of today is the tendency to turn to Washington! for the things which are the tasks or the duties of the 48 com-: monwealths which constitute the nation.”—President Harding at Plymouth. TP \ LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICA FIRST Republican senators and representatives are determined that property in the hands of the alien property custodian shall | not ba returned to its former owners until after financial read- justments with Germany have been completed.

This wonderful heritage for posterity is made possible by the art of industry. But the art of industry has accomplished other things as well. Sixty years ago men found oil in quanti- ties, from which they produced light. The Standard Oil Company took that oil and, in addition to light, produced from it, . power, and lubricants for the parts which ’ transmit the power—not to mention hun- dreds of other useful products. Fifty years ago people were delighted . with the oil which gave them abundant light ; but none could foresee the development which this ‘‘Rock Oil’” would make possible. It was the vision and courage of the men who founded the Standard Oil Company that made it possible for the automotive industry to come into being. It is the ability of the men who manage the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) of today that has made it possible for the auto- mobile to develop from the clumsy vehicle of twenty years ago to the smoothly-driven machine of today. For the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) constantly anticipated demand and produced gasoline of such quality, and in such quan- tity, and distributed it in a manner so thor- ough, that the automotive manufacturer could produce in large enough quantities to keep his product within the range of the modest purse. The art of industry is exemplified in the achievements of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), which will live for centuries and benefit posterity in a practical way, as the perpetuation of Caruso’s voice will benefit in an aesthetic way.
