No longer must the seeker after music from his radio dodge up and down his dial in an effort, usually vain, to find something beside political speeches. No longer will tie man seeking quiet conversation wi h his fellows be : ccosted with theor ies of government and statements of what has been done with the country and what should be done That is definitely out of mind and can and will all be forgotten like last Saturday’s football game. Sometimes it seems as if it was of no more importance But seriously, it is probably better for all concerned that one side has won a decisive victory and will have the welfare of the country completely in their hands. Legislation that will be needed by the democrats to put their policies in effect can be passed with a minimum of argument for their control of both house* of con gress is absolute Many things that were said in thecampaign can best be forgot ten and we may confidenUy expect that nany < f i he promises made wi 1 be forgotten for upon closer study of the problems they will be foun I unworkable and a$ the voters themselves let the ques tions slip from their minds the officials will do 1 kewise. It is so in all elections We do not and cannot expect the incoming administration to instantly bring a satisfactory faim relief, or put all unemployed to work or even bring beer back in time for St. Patrick’s holiday. Our problems are not s tiled because of an election * Too many of our troubles, both local and national, msut be changed by the peo ple themselves and cannot be passed to a federal government. The financial success of this county will still depend on raising wheat more cheaply than it can be done in other like countries The conditions of nature that make our wheat crops possible will not be c ia ged by the election and we are not absolutely convinced that the price will be greatly effecte 1 by any act of the administra tion The most important thing that vil! aid agriculture isorginiza. m strong - nough to enforce its demands V\ e have the start of it i v an 1 upon ds development depends in arge degree our future independence.

Shorty will be gone for the winter during which Zeig will be temporary butcher. There is considerable comment around town about the budgets that are being debated back and forth be tween the school board and a group of taxpayers- The board made up a budget calling for $14.905, but upon protest over a $2550 item for delin quencies ih tax payments it was agreed to change to a lower figure. The failure of banks and the loss of the sinking fund for bond retirement makes a much larger budget neces sary. It will probably exceed $10,000 in comparison to $3170 last year- JOURNAL, MORO, feated by the Me ro team last Friday To the Voters pf Sherman Coupty: I wish to thank the voters of the evening by a score of 22-33. county for their support in the recent Mrs. Dick Reckmann spent Monday at the home of h' r mother Mrs. J.

Some of the farmers who learned their camp cookery from practical experience alongside wool and whedt wagons fifty years ago have volun teered to do the cooking. The dates of the meeting are De cember 2nd and 3rd. a Friday and Saturday. Those who would like to go to Condon on these dates but are sorrowful about, but unashamed of their financial inability to do so in the style of the days of old are rt^ quested to get 'in touch with the Sherman bounty Journal office where plans are being made for the trip. There will be free and untram meled discussion of taxation, wheat production, wheat handling, coopera tive movement and all other ques tions relative to farmer needs at the meeting and many well known econ omists and legislators will be on hand to speak to the wheat growers.

Ordinarily the barley will sell for more than three times the price of hay, but last winter was a mark- Oil exception to this rule. “Even with the cheap hay of this coming winter it is likely that the grain will be less than three times the price of hay, and under such con ditions there is likely to be a more liberal feeding of grain,’’ Potter said- % Ground or steam rolled barley .is an excellent feed, a little less valua ble than corn, except that a straight Combination of barley and alfalfa has a tendency to cause cattle to bloat. <Any other mixture of grain with the barley seems to reduce if ) t is very gnatifyirg to learn thr. n^h the medium of the hahots of the elec- tfitjite cf the countyjlhat my ebon ser vice to th< m in the bounty ck rk '«‘■office has b< en pless ng: My aim through out my elective ti re will be to continue tDMiV tie ptop'e ratkftu to ily George ('.

Grain has never been fed in the west in any such liberal amounts as is customary in the corn Belt, but where a few years back it was unusual for a feeder to use grain at all, now the practice is becoming quite general. “Where a corn belt feeder would feed from 15 to 18 pounds of grain and seven to eight pounds of hay a day, the western feeder will give only a third to a half as much grain and three times the quantity of hay. The bulk of our steers on hay and grain will get from five to eight pounds of grain a day.’’ “Experimental results at the Live stock Branch Experiment station at । tor j i'.i <•< n venj* tue 1 have nr- raigid for you to leave your F hoe Work at Walter A.
