I'D in W:.lren was haulei in Monday
hya Joe N.egert, who raised same en-
his farm one and one half miles from.
this city. MI. Wiegert told us that.
he had hauled in several loads before.
during tie fall but this load which
contained AS bushels, was the first
one that we happened to see, and to.
tell the truth It looked good to us, IN
al, much as we had been brought up
in a corn country and there is, SEEM.
ingly,S a certain charm about corn
that is lacking in other grains. Moth
ing better illustrates the change in
methods of farming in the Red River
Valley than the marketing of loads
Of home grown corn. Mr. Wiegert
lad twenty acres planted to corn this
year and he says that the yield is
something better than fifty bushels
per acre, of sound, we'll matured ears.
AS he is selling the corn at so cents
per bushel, the returns from each
acre is $50, which is not so bad, con-
sideling also that by growing the
corr the ground has been put In a
high state of cultivation and next
year will yield big crops of other
grains. Mr.. Wiegert is SO well pleas
ed with his corn crop this year, that
he says he wished he had had his
whole farm planted to, corn. The
Pioneer Loan g. Land CO., viii buy all
|hes can spare at the price mentioned.
I Mr. Wiegert has demonstrated that
corn can be made a good paying COM
mercial crop in this valley and in the
Years to come many farmers will no
idoubt grow corn more extensively
and may even make it their chief
crop. At the railway stations corn
cribs Will have to be erected for hand
ling the crop just as is done III Tlli-
nois, Iowa and other corn growing
lsIates. Corn, clover and alfalfa
make a strong combination for the

! AfaERicAN RED CROSS u

son at Alvarado. the principal of the
public schools at Oslo, the Arts and
Crafts Club at Middle River, and
Miss Olga Blomsness at Newfolden.
The above and many other enthusias-
tic workers in the good cause thru
out the county, propose to make the
sale Of Christmas seals this year q
record breaker Fifty per cent of the
proceeds go to the MARSHALL county
Public Health Association and fifty
per cent to the Minnesota Public
Health Association, for use in the
prevention of tuberculosis. AS "a
further incentive, the first ten coun-
ties sending in $l00 for stamps sold,
viii receive the services Of baby
welfare a. nurse free for one month. 1t
Is to be hoped therefore that the sale
OF Christmas seals will be pushed
with all possible energy at the star,
50 that our county may be one Of the
first to send in this amount. Just
think how valuable the services Of a
baby welfare nurse may be to. hun
reds Of young mothers without ex-
psrlence in caring. for the little ones,
who have come to bless their homes.
And then we must not forget that
Fifty per cent Of the proceeds stay
right in our own county to be expend-
ed under the direction Of the Marshall
County Public Health Association in
combating the scourge Of tuberculo-
sis. No one will miss a few cents in
vested in Christmas seals, costing on
" one cent each. No other invest
5nient cf a small amount has such
great possibilitie for doing good.
Let everybody buy a. supply Of the
stamps and remember to place one on
every letter or parcel mailed from
now until Christmas time. Push the
campaign for the sale Of seals early,
g that Marshall county may be one
OF the first to report sale of $100
and thus secure the services of a baby
welfare nurse. President Vincent Of
the Minnesota University, strongly
endorses the idea of the Christmas
seals as a means Of fighting tubercu-
lesis. Governor Eberhart does the
same, and he has issued the follow
ing special health message to the
children Of the state:
Health Week Greeting
tsDear Pupils: The Health Week
which the great State Of Minnesota,
through me as It's Rsyernor, has set
aside for special cefebratian, begins
with Tuberculosis SUNDAY and goes
on with Measles Monday Typhoitl
Tuesday, Whooping Cough. Wednes-
day, and 80 TO the end.
But want you all to understand
very clearly that health does not con
sist merely in escaping disease, al.
though that is one Of the first and
most ilnmed diately important things
for al of tus to do. The second and
equally important thing is to culti-
vate our bodies. Every Minnesotan
should be strong in mind and limb,
clear-eyed, clear Drained, ready in
every part Of his Or her physical
makeup to take hold of and carry
out great work in this great world
which we inhabiit.

you will be groWn-rps, until you are
