Farmers in the localities mentioned are laying plans for a larger acreage of corn, sweet clover and alfalfa, and will feed more stock and milk more cows than they have in the past. Numerous trench, pit and stave silos are being constructed. Mr, Keller, one of the grain buyers at Halliday, stated that during the eight years he has bought grain at that point, the best price ever paid for wheat locally was $1.74 per bushel. He said, “If that price could have ‘been realized on the crop raised this year by Andrew Weidener, 14 err northeast of Halliday, there woul not be so much stir about eae saad pigs and milking cows.” Weidener, he explained, had 100 acres that produced 1,700 bushels of No. 1 hard wheat which, if sold at present prices, would fetch only about $850. At the top price men- tioned, which ruled a few years ago, the cash return would have been closer to $3,000.00. Many other farm- ers in the locality had wheat crops yielding from 17 to 20 bushels per acre, but claim the wheat was pro- duced at a loss. Part of the loss, they say, is accounted for by the expendi- ture for gas and oil on tractor- equipped farms. Held Grain and Lost Joe Marx, Werner, stated that he could have received $1.18 a bushel for his wheat last year, hauled direct from the machine, but he held it and recently sold a part of it for 62 cents @ bushel. He said: “The price went down 17 cents the first three days the Federal Farm board was in session.” Marx is raising Hampshire hogs and Shorthorn cattle, and is growing some alfalfa. Nils P. Christensen is one of the farmers near Werner who is getting ready to say goodbye to grain farm- ing. This year he raised 300 acres of grain without hired help. He paid $650 for operating expenses and sold all the grain for $550, which left him $100 behind. On the other hand, the 12 cows that he milked during the year paid back $1,100 in stock and cream sold, and the expenses under this head were only $400. Aasmund Twingley, who resides on the homestead that he settled on in 1906, made this statement: “Tuat first year I got 65 to 70 cents for my wheat, but what I had to buy was cheaper, Now I am getting 54 cents @ bushel for the same kind of wheat, and must pay double for the goods I need.” Twingley raised 60 acres of corn this year and is using it to pre- pare 90 hogs for market. “was my sali AL paniadge hat 25 pores 0€ Bala bow flint and Minnesota 13 corn, which he has stored in a trench silo. Several years ago when farmers and ranchers of the. Missouri Slope began to adopt modern methods of stock breeding and mixed farming, W. C. Pelton was one of those who led the movement in the Dunn Cen- ter neighborhood. He built larger and better buildings, invested heavily in registered cattle and started dairy- ing on a considerable scale. Named Pelton’s Folly Skeptics who continued to pour condensed milk into their coffee shook their heads and predicted that the new-fangled undertaking would come to grief. They named it Pel- ton’s Folly. The designation nad in it a dash of eccentric humor; it ap- pealed to Mr. Pelton and he prompt- ly painted it on the front of his large new barn. And it has been “Pelton’s Folly” ever since. Thirty years ago Mr. Pelton was , and his flock of 370 sheep now consists of full-blood Corriedales, S lelds of wheat this year panned out 28 bushels to the acre.

Attorney General Speaks From KFYR in Local Navy Day Observance Strength governed by good inten- tion is today the best guardian of peace, Attorney General James Mor- ris said in a Navy day address over the radio here last night. “Our nation is safe from attack only as long as its strength is recog- nized by others,” he said. “The per- sonnel of the American navy believes in peace. The principal point of dif- ference between them and their at- titude toward peace and that of the honest pacifist and his attitude to- ward peace is one of method. “The navy believes that peace with Piustice can best be attained through trusting in the integrity of the Unit- ed States of America. Since the world has no police power to which we can appeal for protection, then we, ourselves, must be strong. Strength governed by good intentions is today the best guardian of peace and since we must trust our protec- tion to someone, let us place that trust in the government of the Unit- ed States and its navy.” RR g i be led from k, ten, thereby denying the jack is led from king, jack, ten it Whenever possible way from tenace 8 ace, queen, x x, il Rt xx. ‘When opening leader’s hand is as strong as four trumps to the jack, & short suit should not be opened as it will work out to the advantage ot the declarer.
