SELLS SUGAR AT SIS AND COL
T.ECT2

St. Cloud Times: With every con
sumer realizing all too keenly that
sugar has advanced to nearly pro-
hibitive stage, stranger made his APP
pearance in the vicinity Of Paynes-
vile and Brooten offering to sell sugar
at SIS sack, just So less than the mar
ket price. The salesman accepted or
ders of any size, collected half the
purchase price upon sale and was to
collect the remaining half upon deliv-
cry. The half paid down was guar
antee Of good faith assuring him the
sale Of the staple commodity after its
arrival.
The man secured a team from the
Parker livery at Paynesville. After
the horses had been gone three days,
Deputy Sheriff Archie Chisholm was
informed and commenced a search For
the man and team. IN. his search he
learned Of the game the man had been
operating and was not surprised to
find, when he reached Brooten, that
the man had departed during the
night and left the livery team in
Brooten.

FUNSTON SUGGESTS
EVACUATION DELAY
Recommends Remaining at Vera
Cruz Until Oct. 10.

Vera Cruz, Sept. 1.-THE American
forces will not be withdrawn from
Vera Cruz before Oct. 10, If the war
department at Washington accepts
the suggestion of Brigadier General
Frederick Funston, who recommended
that the steps incident to the evacua-
tion of the city be taken with delib-
Grafton.
Perhaps the chief consideration OF
General Funston in recommending
this date. it is believed, was q desire
to give the thousands of Mexican ref
ugees here an opportunity to leave
the country. About 500 priests, 200
nuns, dozen generals Of the old
army and scores Of officers Of lower
rank are among those who sought
safety within the American lines.
By far the greater part Of the fugi-
tive colony. however. are men and
women Of all stations in life whose
names in most cases had been EN-.
ployed by Huerta's government in va
rlous capacities. u

BEH1
The fact that the total prod ton Of
corn in Minnesota has doubled during
the past ten years is perhaps the most
significant thing in the agricultural
development Of this state No farm
crop is capable Of furnishing SO much
fattening material at so low cost Of
production as this cereal. The stalks
properly cured in the shock, or what is
better, in the silo, provide an extreme
ly valuable adjunct for cattle feeding,
says H. r. Smith, University Farm,
st. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Smith found after a series Of
experiments, covering period Of ten
years, that beef can be produced in
Nebraska at the lowest cost and with
the highest profits on combination
Of the corn plant and al1alfa hay. In
every experiment where this combina-
tion was fed, there was found to be a
substantial profit over and above the
cost Of food, even at times when other
combinations were fed at small loss.
Glover belongs to the same family
as alfalfa, and can also be used in ex-
'cellent advantage in connection with
Icorn. Both hay plants supply the nu-
TRENT which is lacking in corn, name
ly, protein, to give a well balanced ra-
tions though alfalfa is somewhat rich
er than clover in this.
The growing Of more Z. corn means
cleaner land in Minnesota, and when
fed to livestock, as should be done to
be most profitable, it is certain to en-
courage the growing Of more clover
and alfalfa for use as a supplementary
feed. Both add greatly to the fer
1tility Of the land, making it possible
to increase the yield to the acre.
With Increased corn production ma
turally follows more livestock, adds
Mr.. Smith. It is especially favorable
to the production Of beef cattle DO
cause of the roughage such cattle con
sumo in Connection with grain and be-
cause large number can be fed on
the farm with but little labor.

Since the formation Of rocks is ex-

priceless value. According to Prof. J.
Bowman. many glacial scratches that
were made on rock during the last gla-

years agoSare still as fresh as II they
had been made only yesterday. Yet,
since the glaciers thus recorded them
selves. man has come up from the
cave and the stone-hammer. Seventy
thousand years is very short time

that the roots and litter on the ground
afforded, the soil is soon washed away.

DANGER FROM BAD POTATOES.
And Maine Tubers May Be Barred From
Market.

Augusta, Feb 24.--The proposed quar-
antine of Maine potatoes because of the
powdered seab disease will be taken up
with the authorities at Washington al
a meeting there on Feb. 26 by commit
tee appointed yesterday by Governor
Haines.
The committee consists of John A.
Roberts, commissioner of agriculture I;
Prof. Charles ID. Woods, director of the
Maine agricultural experiment station,
and William A. Martin of Houlton.
1t was appointed at the conclusion OF
long session, behind closed doors, of
the executive council, at which large
delegation of Aroostook county potato
growers were present.
1t developed at the hearing that DR..
y. E. Melhus of the federal horticultural
board, accompanied by Albert X Gard
ner of Rockland, state horticultural, and
Professor Woods had been investigating
conditions in Aroostook recently.
Reports showed the disease to be prev
alent in the towns along the New Bruins
wick border, but it has not yet devel-
oped in other parts of Aroostook county,
nor in the center of the state.
The horticultural board at Washington
has had the matter of establishing a
quarantine under advisement the past
two weeks. In view of the apparent
seriousness of the situation the officials
hope to prevent the necessity of any
federal embargo on the shipment of po-
tatoes from the state and that the ma
tional government win accept the in
spection by the authorities of Maine as
means of protection.
