Country Gentleman Slurs Stir Farmers
Storm of Protests Aroused by Unfair and Untruthful
Attacks of Curtis Publication
TUDIED misstatements
about the Nonpartisan
league, made by the
Country Gentleman, a
pretended farm paper
which circulates more ex­
tensively in the cities than on the
farms, have drawn A storm of protest
from such farmers as have seen them
and know the facts.
In an editorial called "Blessings and
Brightness," the Country Gentleman
makes false statements about. North
Dakota taxes. In an article called
"Coming Through," the League is
charged with being allied with the I.
W. W., disloyal, working toward class
hatred, etc., etc., while the article it
self is designed primarily to create
class hatred by pitting the farmer
against the laboring man. Following
are quotations from a few of the
many letters received by us on the
subject:
George Cartwright of Cleveland,
Ohio, wrote the Country Gentleman:
"Your editorial reminds me of a
prominent Cleveland man's statement:
'I read the Saturday Evening Post to
keep informed on what the pirates
want the people to believe.' If Mr.
Townley is not given space to reply
to your editorial your readers can
only conclude the Country Gentleman
is conducted .for the same purpose.
When you have any further
roasts to hand the Nonpartisan league
it is to be hoped you will have the
decency to print both sides, as the
Literary Digest recently found it nec
essary to do to keep up the appearance
of being fair." ,"
FARMER RESENTS
ADVICE ON POLITICS
Col.,
In a
J. S. Jossiason of Roggen,
wrote the Country Gentleman.
letter to us he says:
"I believe the signs of the times are
very hopeful when national agricul
tural papers (like the Country Gentle
man) use up so much valuable paper
and keep us farmers informed as to
the proper political belief we should
have. I sometimes wonder why they
dont spend some time and money
keeping us informed as to the safe
stocks and bonds and give us a 'tip'
once in a while so we may keep the
meal a little nearer to the top of the
barrel. But I suppose they will when
they have given us the proper political
training to take care of our wealth.
Yours for the 1920 victory
despise ourselves. It is our duty to
try to climb up to a higher standard
and not try to pull our brother down
to our standard. Farmers and wage
workers are not organizing to get
something for nothing nor to get more
than belongs to them."
John F. Ford of. Fontana, Cal.,

W. Currie, editor, repeating untruth
ful statements in regard to North Da
kota taxes, the attitude of the League
on the war, etc., and adding that a
Mr. Pickett of the magazine staff
had been sent to North Dakota to
write a new series of articles about
the League. Commenting upon the
untruthfulness of the "facts" already
cited, Mr. Ford says: "How fair
and impartial these articles are likely
to be can be imagined from the ex
treme partisan tone of Mr. Currie's
letter."
Besides these letters the Leader has
received letters from as far east as
New York, from as far south as Okla
homa, and numerous .letters from
Minnesota, North Dakota and other
League states. Most of our corre
spondents say they have written the
Country Gentleman, demanding that
that paper stick somewhere near to
the facts in its future articles about
the League. The editor of the Leader
also has written the Country Gentle
man, pointing out in detail the mis
statements that were made about the
League, but thus far no step has been
taken by the editors of the Country
Gentleman to correct their misstate
ments or to apologize.
PREVENTING GARLIC FLAVOR
Dairymen and creame^ymen in
many states are troubled every spring
by garlic or onion flavor in the milk.
This is due to the cows feeding on
garlic or wild onion, one of the first
plants* to start in the pasture in the
spring. There are two ways of pro
tecting the milk from garlic flavor.
First, prevent the cows from obtain
ing garlic and, second, manage the
herd on garlic pasture so that there
will* be the least possible chance of
getting the flavor in the milk.
Often the garlic is found only in
one patch in the pasture, and this can
be temporarily fenced off and pastur
ed with'Other animals not producing
milk.
Where garlic is scattered all over
the field it will be impossible to keep
the cows away from it, but by remov
ing them to some other field three or
four hours before each milking the
flavor will be reduced to a minimum.
The odor in milk is strongest from
cows which have just eaten garlic,
and tiie odor is reduced as the time
between the eating of garlic and milk
.ing is increased. In case no garlic-free
pasture is available it would be advis-
.: -MEAT CONSUMPTION fe
That the farmers are the chief pork
and poultry consumers, when a com
parison is made on a per capita basis,
while the city dwellers eat a greater
proportion of beef, veal and mutton
country and of the city and country
population that has ever been obtain
ed.
The total meat consumption per
capita is 9 per cent greater in the
country than in the city, and excess
in varying degrees is found in every
one of the customary geographic divi
sions. Beef consumption- is nearly
two-thirds greater in the city than in
the country
