Let the latter turn their sheep | ranches into cattle ranches and theie \by further relieve the ninety millions ‘DEVELOPMENT MEN | py furnishing them cheaper beef. | “And the fate of the army of woolen workers? We, the “geese who lay the golden eggs,’ believe ‘that it is one of the basic causes |of the high cost of living that the woclen workers, steclworkers and other factory workers—brought into the country for the purpose—to the exclusicn of the farm workers, upon. Whom we depend to feed us. Let these woolen workers come to Itasca |county, Minnesota, or to an} part of the state, or almost any part of the great northwest and raise the neces- jsities of life for which the ninety |million people are clamoring, and | both the woolen workers and the ninety milliors will be greatly bene- fited. “From where I sit, I can see thousancs of ecres of fertile land producing absolutely nothing.
