He is the man who drove Mr. Dean out of Randolph when the Nonpartisan league was organized. I would judge that the laboring man and the farmer were to decide the price of corn-picking. Please tell me whether this is lawful. I am a mem- ber of the Nonpartisan league. E. J. HERBES. The clipping inclosed by Mr. Herbes declares that a committee appointed by the county council of defense and a like committee by the Farmers’ union of Cedar county met on September+25 and fixed the maximum corn-husking price at 8 cents and board per bushel where an elevator is used and 9 cents and board where the corn must be scooped from the wagon. Two hun- dred and fifty dollars is to be assessed against any employer who violates the ruling and a $50 fine for any per- son acceptmg more than the maxi- mum price. If the facts are as stated above there can be nothing legal about this one-sided action. There is no con- tract between the employers and the workers, because the workers were in no way a party to it. Councils of de- fense at most have power to arbitrate labor disputes, which is-quite different consulting the employed and levying fines for taking higher wages. The farmers may be interested in getting men to work for them at a reasonable figure, but there are few farmers who would sanction this high-handed and un-American method of getting this result. The Leader has not heard of another case like it in the Northwest, and it is undoubtedly a special inter- est trick to separate farmers and hired workers politically. This action and the earlier one of driving a League man out of town appear to be cut out of the same cloth. Whether the prices set are fair or not is en- tirely beside the point ‘and in no way can justify such arbitrary dealing with the livelihood of free American citizens. _ FARMERS AND THE DRAFT HE new plan devised by the gov- ernment of creating an advisory board to work with the draft boards, which was announced in the Leader much needed. The Leader receives that some of the draft hoards at least are taking essential lanor from the farm, and according to a news re- port a ‘draft official-in Nebraska is taking every man from any farm where the women look fairly strong. The farmers should remember that they know more about farming than men drawn from other classes, and when draft boards, in ignorance or otherwise, make mistakes violating the spirit and letter of our draft laws, it _is their duty to take the proper means to protect the essential farming - mdustry as: much as it is their duty to go to the front if their farms and their families can ' get ~along without them. Ope of the most frequent ‘mistakes the town ‘men on owner, who'is s done httle or ‘Randolph Times-Enterprise.

B. Gilbert, Postoffice ' Box 575, St. Paul, Minn. o Where the local draft board has, in the opinion of the. farmer, made a mistake, he should be sure that the advisory committee 'gives his case serious attention. More than this, the draft regulations provide for appeal to higher bodies. CONSOLIDATION OF ‘WAR WORK SOCIETIES HE more prominent of the war- work association§ have decided to combine their efforts in ralsmg funds in the next campaign, which is to be put_on from November 11 to 18. A combined fund of $170,500,000 will be asked for to carry on the work for the comfort, physical and spiritual, of our soldiers and sailors in this coun- - try and over the seas. The following list shows the seven organizations participating: Young-Men’s Christian Association. Young Women’s Christian Associa- tion.’ National Catholic War Coun‘cll (Knights of Columbus). Jewish Welfare Board. | War Camp Community Servife. American Library Association. The Salvation Army. This consolidation in campaigning for funds will probably appeal to every one as a great improvement over the old methods, involving as they did a great amount of unnecessary dupli- cation of publicity and personal effort. GOVERNMENT URGES FARMERS’, CO-OPERATION. ,." ARMERS’ organizations and fer- tilizer dealers are urged by the United States department“of agricul- ture to combine orders for fertilizers so as to permit maximum car loading.” The average load in 1917 was 20. tons to the car; whereas a 50-ton average is entirely possible. Two. years ago such a recommenda- tion would have been regarded as rank business heresy, and farmers who talked co-operation and tried to prac- tice it were ridiculed by those -sup- posed to possess “the know-how.” The government also depends on co- operation in working the farm loan bank. Hoover says the hope for better marketing. conditions depends on the organization of producers. Isn’t it a little funny the way the farmers’ ideas meet the test of war- time conditions and the way the meth- ods of the all wise anti-farmer ‘gang have to be revised? NEW RULING ON DROUGHT AID HE Federal Farm Loan bank an- nounces that there is a balance of $2,350,000 in the fund set aside to aid farmers in the drouth seéctiens and that this balance will be divided among the states of North Dakota, Montana and Washington. North Da- kota is to get $600,000, Montana $1,- 550,000 and Washmgtoe $200,000. The limit is raised from $3"to_$56 an acre on a maximum of 100 acres. Applica- tions should be made at once by the farmers in the drouth areas of these states who need aid to continue farm- ing. The loans are not made to rent- ers or to others who can not give an uncondmonal lien on the crop. FARMERS MEET REAL TEST _OF l{grmo'rlsm
