Rags will always make their appearance where they have a right to do it.—IJr. Johnson. SENATOR MANGUS JOHNSON One of the most unique figures ever to hold a seat in the United States Senate will be Mangus Johnson of Minnesota when he takes up his duties at the convening of the Sixty-eighth congress. Senator John son has just been elected as the junior Senator from Minnesota, succeeding the late Knute Nelson, de ceased. "Magnus,” as he is known all over his home state? defeated Governor I’reus in the election several days ago and has announced that he will join the La Fol- lette-Wheeler-Brookhart bloc in the upper house. He was a candidate of the Farmer-Labor party and won easily over his opponent, who defeated him for gov ernor of the state at the last election. Johnson is a native Swede, iS fifty-two yifars old and has lived in this country thirty years; He talks with a decided foreign accent and says he is proud of it. He is what is known in political circles as a "dirt farmer” and is said to possess the loudest speaking voice in the state of Minnesota and when he reaches the capitol the halls of the senate chamber are ex pected to tremble when he gets his voice unlimbercd. Friends of Johnson assert that he has never worn a dresr. suit, and never will- He campaigned in his shirt sleeves and does not give promise to don the usual swallow tail coat and spats worn by senators. Before coming to America he was a glass blower in Sweden. He was elected to the senate on a plntform that evidently met with the approval of the people of Minnesota, and the middle west. It speaks for itself and if he accomplishes, or tries to even, all the things he has promised he will be the busiest man in the U. S. His platform was as_follows: "‘Repeal the Esch-Cummins Railroad law. ‘‘Restriction of the use of court injunctions in labor disputes. “A soldiers’ bonus to be paid by an excess profits tax. ‘‘Regulation of the packers, oil, coal, steel and nil the other big business enterprises popularly classed as ‘trusts.’ ‘‘Nationalisation of the nation's water power. > “National farm marketing legislation. “Curtailment of the powers of the Supreme Court so as to make impossible five to Tour decisions in de claring acts of congress unconstitutional. If he has his way the new senator would make it impossible for the court to declare any act of congress unconsti tutional. “Revision downward of the Fordney-McCumbcr tariff law. ' "Operation of the Federal Reserve system ‘in the interest of the people,' and not, ns he asserts is now the . case, in the interest of big business and Wall Street.’,’ ROASTING EARS BY THE CARLOAD Down Valdosta way they are growing corn for roasting cars and shipping them by the carload. The Georgia and Florida railroad runs through Val dosta and it is doing a fine truck-hauling business. The Lanier County (Ga.) News thus describes the busy scene of trimming and packing a carload of ■ corn: "The depot platform presented a busy scene, 14 men and boys being employed all day sorting, trim ming and crating the snowflake roasting ear corn brought in by 15 growers to make up a carload. The work was supervised by Mr. iJulian Mackey, of Val dosta, and Mr. J. R. Kramer, a northern buyer. Tho expense of packing came to 30 cents per crate, and a crate holds from four to six dozen ears of corn, ac cording to size. Messrs. Mackey and Kramer of fered to buy the carload at $1 per crate; that is 63 cents net. The carload was finally sold in the after noon to Mr. W. L. Miller at~$1.05 per crate. It is expected that another joint carload will be made up next week. Mr. R. E. Carter expects to have a whole carload of his own by that time.” There must be a good profit in grownig green corn for market as you not only get a good price for what you sell, but whnt you have left over is velvet, / and can be left to stand and mature. Besides, you have all of the fodder, which is Of itself a big item, k A farmer can get rich growing corn in this way, pro- B vided he has the facilities for shipping and market- W ing with a good demand.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—As a vnrd for a Reason's work, the farm- oA of the United States will have to pocket n, loss of 1472,000,000 this year’s wheat r.a result of the recent/slump In wheat prices. That Is the estimate of I. C. Moh- ler, secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. The slump caused .nullity by er-productlon throughout the world will sweep away tho earning* of millions of farmers. Mohtar esti mates, and leave them poorer than they were a year ago. It means a check in tfe prosper ity wave that has swept the coun try during the recent months, he believes, but will not bring on r panic. ' The loss estimate Is based on p production cost of $1.30 a bushel the estimate of wheat It costs : farmer to raise a bushel of wheal In Kansas this year. The farmer will get only an average of 77 cents a bushol for his product. "It means 40,000,000 people of the middlo west and west will have tc rut down expenditures during the coming year.” Mohler "It means there must be a change In the mode of living of farmers and those who depend upon the prosper ity of the fnrmers for a living. “Of course, farmers will make profit In other lines, possibly from their livestock and corn," the griculturnl expert continues. “But one can see that it will take a great deal of profit In those lines to bff- set the losses of wheat growers. ‘‘Kansas fnrmers will be f55/ oon.ooo Worse off for their year o work nnd investment In growing heat. “I am not a calamity howler and want to make the reservation thn« Kansas farmers have seen hard times before, and will pull through some way.” Last year the average price re reived by Kansas farmers to 1 wheat was 00 rents. The situation Is such that far ’ mers simnly will have to give »i i raising wheat In such large quantl- { ties.” Mohler says.
