Valuable Pointers on the
Planting and Use Of
Fodder Corn


Fodder corn is corn sown in drills
50 thickly that no ears are formed.
1t IS used instead of hay, more es-
pecially with cattle aud sheep, aud
may be fed with good results to
horses.
In feeding value it is better than
timothy nay, especially tor dairy
It yields from two t. four times as
much per acre as hay. It has yielded
as high as eight tons Of cured fodder
per acre on the Experiment Farm.
A crop may be harvested the same
season it is sown which can not be
done with hay.
1t is q cultivated crop and has q
value in this respect 10 that it tends
to keep out weeds. quack grass. etc,

40 DAYS

We are to have special dis
count sale for forty days. WHY?
Because first, in some lines we
have too large stock for this
time of the year, and SO we are
willing to sell these out at an ex-
ira close margin. Second, : we
contemplate making some changes
in our store which requires a large
expense and we must turn much
of our present stock into money
before doing so. Our ambition is
not to have the BIGGEST jewel
cry store in Minnesota, but rather
to have one of the neatest little
jewellery etores in Minnesota and
run in the neatest and best man
ner. We have good reasons to
hope we can and will have such
store in the near future.

WILL LIST LAKES.

Instructions have been given to j.
P. Saunders Of Rrainerd, connected
with the fisheries department of the
state fish and game commission, to
list all the lakes in the counties of
Morrison, Cas- and Crow Wing: also
their acreage and depth of each, and
the kinds Of fish that are found in
them. This is probably. only part
of the work which will be done IN
this state, and others will doubtless
be instructed to do likewise in other
counties. The information thus re.
ceived will be used as q basis fol-
intelligently stocking or restocking
the lakes IN the future.

the scaler's report said there was
hardly enough timber to bother about
on the tracts.
However, the state has already cut
900, 600 feet of timber from the three
sectionP, and this timber will net the
state moro than a, 600. Half of this
money goes into the state treasury and
the other half INTO the state school
fund. He believes that there is still
about million feet of dead and down
timber TO be logged next winter.
According to Arnold, the park will
not Only prove wonderfully attrac-
tive and beneficial summer resort, bot

THE POLISH STRUGGLE FOR
IIRERTY
sf&4
FOR

American citizens of Polish descent
all over the United States are aroused
at the appropriation Law recently
passed in Prussia. which deprives
Polish subjects of property rights,
compels them to vacate ct once ali
lands occupied and owed BY them
and to accept such compensation O.
the government chose to give them.
Many of the greatest Germans pro.
tested against the law, whose purpose
is to Germanize the Polish provinces
in language. customs and In every
other way. It is claimed that the
law, while outraging every principle
of Liberty, is also . violation of tho
compact entered into by Austria,
Russia and Prussia in 1916 ct tho
Congress of Vienna, when Prussia
pledged .hereelf to safeguard the reli.
glon and language Of the Poles, and
to respect their property riQhtss
From time immemorial the Polea
have d~elt upon this land, and they
naturally feel bitter over the Law
which makes t em alien t3 the land
Ct their forefathers. They are asking
tor the Sympathy ard assistance Of
sac civilized world. At meeting in
Milwaukee March 9Th, the following
resolutions, which we'll express the
feelings of Polish sympathizers, were
adopted: ....
RESOLUTIONS T..
Resolved, that we citizens of the
United States, resident in Milwaukee,
assembled III mass meeting at the Kos.
ciuszko Armory, hereby express our
adherence at the policy of the Prus
sian government toward its Polish
subjects, policy of relentless porsecu-
ton for many dc cades, colmipating in
the passage-of the appropriation law
against the Poles.
We regard such law as a most ssri.
Gus menace to the existing social or.
der, as direct step toward anarchism
in that it sanctions an attack upon the
inviolability of private property
rights, and approves of the revc lntion-
ary and communistlc principle Of con-
t'scatioD. We express our Indignation
at the rerfdlous course of the Prus-
sian government towa ard it's Polish
subjects in violating all of the rights
which said government has solemnly
pledged itself before the world to safe.
guard and protect. ..:....-
We as the citizens Of republic
which protects tho weak within her
borders as well as beyond, irrespective
OF nationality voice our protest
against q government which directs
unjust legislation against it's peaceful
subjects for no other reason than of
their nationality.
We express our sympathy tor those
afflicted by such unjust and inhumane
legislation. and we hope that the
wrongs inflicted upon them may soon
be righted.
Resolved further, that we hereby
call upon our representative in Con-
gress and respectfully urge them act
lively t. support the resolutions now
before the House of Representatives.
