LIVESTOCK RECEIPTS GROW
South st. Paul Market Record Shows
Large Shipments for May
This Year.

South st. Paul.-South st. Paul live
stock trade during May maintained the
big percentage of gain shown over the
corresponding time in 1913, which the
previous months this year displayed.
The largest volume Of receipts ever
arriving at the local market in the
fifth month of the year came in in the
period just passed, slightly more than
5000 cars having been unloaded at the
chutes during the month.
This made gain of about $50 car
loads over the month of May last year.
Cattle received numbered about 25,-
300 head and calves made total of
14,100 more in this division.
1t was the largest May run of hogs
on record, nearly 10000 porkers COM
ing in from the farms of Minnesota
and adjoining states. The Northwest
has been making fattering showing
in the output of swine thus far in
1914, when comparison is made with
the so-called corn-belt region to the
south.
Sheep and lamb receipts were sea-
sonable at South ST. Paul with a to-
tai of slightly more than 10000 for
the month. This is the off season for
marketing such stock in this territory,
however.
South st. Paul receipts since jan
uary 1 aggregate about $4,000 cattle,
$4,000 calves, 100000 hogs, $4,000
sheep, $500 horses and 1925 cars.

st. Paul.-The efficiency and econ
Dmy commission, appointed by Cover
nor Eberhart for the purpose of re-
organization Of state government, has
made its preliminary report to the gov
ernor and people of the state, the OBJ
iect being to obtain suggestions from
the public for Improvement upon the
plan of government devised.
The recommendations of the com
mission embrace three main features.
First, reorganization of the ex-
ecutive service.
Second, installation of the merit
system in civil service.
Third, adoption of the budget
system of making appropriations
as recommended by the governor.
The plan for reorganization of the
executive service contemplates the
elimination of the multiplicity of state
boards and bureaus and the grouping
Of the executive service under six
general heads to be known as the de-
partments of finance, public domain,
public welfare, education, labor and
commerce and agriculture. All come
under this division except the secre-
tary of state, auditor and attorney
general.

trict, According to Experts
Predictions.

Winona.-A the trees have
blossomed more fully than was pre-
dicted this year, there will be no
abundant fruit yield in this part of
Minnesota, according to growers.
The conditions for the developing
of bumper crop have been ideal,
with practically no frost, but the ap-
pie trees and other fruit-bearing plants
blossomed only meagerly, substantial
ing the assertion Of growers that
good year is followed by what is
known as the off season. Last year
the apple crop was so abundant that
thousands of bushels of the fruit were
used as feed for hogs. The same con-
dition, it is declared, was generally
true with all fruit. Only the trees
in the most favored districts have
borne fully this spring, it is said.
Dealers here have announced that
they will not contract to sell carload
lots.

State Newsef General Interest
KITTSON BOYS GROWING CORN
Many to Take Interest in Pro-
ducticn.

Hallock.-Kittson county is becom-
ing corn, alfalfa and stock raising
district. Fully so per cent of the
farmers have tracts of from twenty to
two hundred acres seeded to alfalfa
and corn.
Great interest is being developed in
the acre-yield corn contest for 1914.
This is probably due to the demonstra-
lions and instructions given at the
short course held in Hallock this
spring. This contest is being conduct
ed by the university agricultural ex-
tension division and is managed in
Kittson county by the Hallock high
school agricultural scientist. The par

ages of 10 and IA and residents of
Kittson county. Each must not raise
more than four acres of corn from
which to select the acre which will be
considered in the contest at harvest
time.
Accurate accounts of expense and
reports of all operations in growing
the corn must be kept Three re-
ports of crop conditions will be re-
CURED, after planting, cultivating and
harvesting. All contestants must per-
sonally attend to the growing and cul-
tivating of the corn. Cash prizes will
be awarded in the northern zone of
the state as follows: First prize, $40;
second, $50; third, $40; fourth, $40
and the next ten ranking contestants,
s. each. A sweepstake prize of 5000
is offered to the boy who secures the
highest rank in the state contest.
In conjunction with the state con-
test the First National bank of Hal
lock has offered 500 in gold in prizes
to the eleven boys of Kittson county
having the largest yield of corn to
the acre. The rules and regulations
of the agricultural extension division
apply to this contest.
The First National bank has also Of
fered to loan to farmers of this coun-
ty $4,000 at low rate of interest for
the purpose of buying and raising
registered cattle
The Kittson County State bank of
Hallock has set aside a sum for loan
ing at low rate of interest to farm
ers who desire to construct silos.
Plans and specifications of silos have
been furnished by the university ag-
ricultural extension division.

Business Men Repair Roads.

Fairmont.-Lawyers, bankers, mer.
chants, real estate dealers and other
business men of Fairmont donned
overalls and spent day working on
Fairmont streets. A committee of
business men agreed to solicit funds
to be used for street improvement.
Four hundred dollars was raised, but
when the committeeman looked over
the streets and realized the deplor-
able condition some of them were in,
they volunteered to work upon them
for day. Seventy-five business men
worked all day and put the roads in
good shape.

Rules Obeyed.

Twenty -fve-cent baseball seems to

Until few years ago, when most OF
the club owners In the American and
National leagues began constructing
new stands, there were many 25-cent
seats. But since then they have been
growing scarcer and scarcer. The old
bleacher area In most Of the parks
has been cut into three parts, the two
parts nearest the home plate selling
at so cents, and only the little stretch
that is farthest away from the plate
being allotted to the 25-cent fans.
The rules of the big leagues provide
for 25-cent seats, but they do not
specify the number. Because of that
little error that would have protected
the 25-cent fans the magnates have
reduced the bleacher seats from num-
bers far into the thousands to mum
bers In the hundreds

alfalfa will be cut this week and the
crop generally is good, while small
grain and other clover grasses are
making splendid growth. Corn plow-

best ever seen in the county. Pota-
toes are all planted, and many Of
them are up and ready for cultiva-
ton. Everything indicates an abun-
dant crop. Pastures are fine and milk
and cream receipts at creameries con-
tinue heavy, but the price of butter
has ranged much lower than for sew
