Cr J tlint's the answer. Generally speaking the American people are trustful.
OnnQGIlCG The very nature of the government and of business practices tends to teach
confidence. Taken into dally practices It makes for better society, strong friendships and
consequent prosperity.
Resultant upon the war there has grown up a feeling of economic unrest. Iu Russia the
splrltwas capitalized' by Lenino and Trotsky and Is known as Bolshevism. In America It Is
Socialism, I. W. W.'lsm or Anarchy. But It differs In degree j some are disciples of Karl Marx,
while some are the willing followers of A. C. Townloy, Non-partisan league dictator.
A prominent physician told a putnt that being sorry for one's self Is the most difficult
dlseao to cure. The. preaching of the Socialist agitator tends to muko the prospective victim
sorr.v for himself, breeds discontent and promises a paradise of chaos Instead of organized
government.
A Constltut' ',-' Convention will be held In Nebraska In December. Nominating poUtlons
must be filed for delegates by August l) election In November. Who will represent you at that
convention? Who wquld you hire to manage your business If you were sick? Better apply Uie
same feasonh,., to the election of a delegate to the convention that .you would to the man who
handles your money qr your horses ! , x
There is danger that a dominant minority may control tho convention and dictate
policies to a subservient majority.
The New Nebraska Federation urges Uie elecUou of delegates who ure broad enough to legislate In
the Interests of all the citizens of Uie state; men who ure actuated by putrlotlq Intelligence rather than
class prejudices.
If you aro interested in the purposes of our.
Federation we solicit your membership in any
of the three classes $1, $5 or $25.

LET US Pfil NT IT FOR YOU
FARM BUREAU NOTES
C. It. Youinr, Comity Agent
A letter from tho Omaha Hay com
pany states that they aro in position
to handle largo quantities of straw.
Wo have written them asking for
prices.
Correspondence from Mr. K. F. War
ner, of tho State Extension Depart
ment, states that it js not generally
advisable to pasture sheep' or cattlo
on whoat iields as the chaff and
straw has a tendency to cause acuto
impaction. He adds, that, while
there seems to bo hut a small amount
of grain, tho stock will soon learn to
locate it and sovero attacks of indi
gestion are apt to follow.
Every ono should bo on guard for
the new potato disease, tho potato
wart. This is a spongy growth on
tho tuber, light brown whon young
and black and decayed when old.
This is a European diseaso which in
some unknown way appeared on a
Pennsylvania farm, where it was first
observed by tho U. S. Department of
Agriculture. A report this year in
dicates that it has appeared in Wis
consin. Tho diseaso is very bad,
practically paralyzing tho potato in
dustry when onco it gains a foot-hold
Samples of anything that looks sus
picious should bo sent to tho County
Agent or tho State Experiment Sta
tion. Tho special government report for
July showed only threo states report
ing a normal potato crop. Theso
three nro not extensively in tho com
mercial business. Tho decrease in
tho other states rango from 2 to 8
per cent.
Mr. H. G. Taylor, assistant county
agent leader of Montana, writes that
owing to the severe drouth in that
state, thcro will bo a surplus of men
available for farm labor in other
states. Tho number of such men io
estimated at between flvo and six
thousand. This olFico will bo glad
to assist oi! (armors in securing this
labor.
