Beuch, Ju. .an; February 19, G. Schneider and Walter Oelke (evemng), Blue Earth; f‘ebruary) 20, Eberhardt Bros, Good Thunder, and Small’s Steel Pavilion, Mankato evening, - plans are being méde to go into coun- ty politics and elect farmers’ tickets to the county offices, pledged to an hon- est and fair administration of the law. Under the new League rules, decision as to whether county tickets shall be named is left to the League member- ship in each county, but the strong undercurrent of opinion is setting to- ward general participation, to the end that North Dakota shall have honest government from top to bottom. Most of the counties plan to build up their county organizations under the new “home rule” plan, selecting a local farmer and paying him enough money so that he can afford to devote all his time to organization work for a year. Under five years of the League in North Dakota, besides the political progress that has been made, farmers have seen théir buying and selling en- terprises more prosperous and free from political interference, the better- farming movement ‘making greater headway along the right lines than ever: before and business men coming to see .that they must co-operate with the farmers sometimes, instead of ex- pecting the farmers to do all the co- operating with them. Because of ‘what has been done in the last five years the Leaguers are planning for a big- ger and better five years just ahead. SEEING THINGS (Editorial in the Prairie Farmer.) In a recent report on socialism by a committee of the American Bar asso- ciation, the following statement is made: “If the conditions in North Dakota were as favorable to the success of bolshevism as they are in Russia, Townley today would be the Lenine of the Northwest and his" Soviet gov- ernment would go to all the extremes of tyrannical dictatorship that are now suffered by the Russian people.” This is all bunk. The North Dakota farmers are plain, common sense Americans like the rest of us. They are carrying on what seem to be radical experiments in government ownership. If these experiments turn out badly, the rest of us. will not be hurt. If they turn out well, we shall all be benefited. Any one who throws up his hands and shouts “bolshevism” is making -a fool of himself, for the North Dakota farmer and the Russian Bolshevist have nothing in common. GRAIN WEIGHTS FALL Figures recently obtained by the crop reporting specialists indicate how plant diseases, adverse weather: condi- tions and the like reduce crop yields to a greater degree than is shown in bushels or other units of measure. - Wheat of the 1919 crop has an aver- age weight per measured bushel of 55.5, which is 4.5 pounds below the standard weight. This is the lowest weight since 1904. The average weight per bushel of oats of the 1919 crop is 31.1 pounds, nearly one pound be- . low the standard of 82 pounds, the lowest since 1908, Barley averages 45.2 pounds instead of 48, the standard. The only ‘other time during the past 10 years when the average weight of a measured bushel of barley was S0 low was 1916. The bulk of these three crops was harvested at about the same time and all jof them were affected by diseases and, in many sections, by excess moisture and other adverse conditions. MACHINERY SERVICE The larger and more substantial sizes of farm machinery give cheaper service than the lighter sizes, since the cost for repairs is much lower for the heavy machine than for the lighter machine, while the first cost is but a fraction greater.—U.
