GRADE ROOT CROPS
ON TIMBER FARMS

ON TIMER FARMS
To meet the feed situation in north.
ern Minnesota. M. J. Thompson, super.
intendent Of the Northern Experiment
Station at Duluth, suggest the grad.
ing Of rutabagas, the feeding of the
tons and Door grades to stock, and the
marketing Of the choicer grades, if
possible, not until late in the winter
when the market usually advances.
This suggestion is made in answer to
the question especially pertinent this
year whether to feed roots or grain.
One pound Of grain is usually re-
garded as equivalent to from four to
nine pounds of roots. This compare
son, however, Mr.. Thomson says, ig-
nores the succulence Of the roots so
essential to the health and productive
ity Of animals. Likewise, in the
northern Minnesota situation, it leaves
out of consideration the cos: of ex-
change. That is, of hauling the roots
to the market and Of hauling the
grain back. Moreover, tho yield of
rutabagas last fall ranged from two
to four tons.
Therefore, even with rutabagas at
from 81 to $25 ton, Mr.. Thompson
feels that the plan. should be consid-
cred.
AS a general result of the years
work at the Northeast Station, Mr..
Thompson recommends a good acre.
age of hay and roots annually on ev-
cry timber land farm.

SEATING RINK ON HIGH SCHOOL
GROUNDS
(Contributed)


The opening of the rink at the high
school has been delayed little by the
extreme cold weather the first of the
week. The rink when completed will
show the good results of cooperation
and the community spirit.
Many thanks are due to Mr.. Lille
dahl and the boys who help him PIE.
pare and care for the rink.
The Civic league at its November
board MEETING voted 500 the play
ground committee to be used for re-
crea zion purposes during the winter.
At the meeting Of the committee the
next day it was decided to try and
plan for rink, but the funds avail
able did not justify a large outlay.
Mr.. Gordon suggested tina by CO.
operating with the schools and having
the rink at the hig. school grounds
the cost Of the same would be very
little if the boys would help with the
work of preparing and flooding it,
Sup. Dobbyn and Mr.. Zipoy both
favored this plan and Mr.. Liljedah1
offered to make the rink and food it
if the boys would help.
The city fire department loaned the
hose and the Water Power company
the water. The RINK, while under the
supervision Of the schools, will be
thrown open to the public evenings.
It it believed that the public will
show it's appreciation of the good work
of the boys by helping to keep it
clean.
Those interested in boosting che
rink would like to see skating become
so popular that more room would be
needed.
There are two ways the demand for
more space could be granted. One by
having larger rink, financed anu car
ed for by the CITY. the other way
would be to have more small Kinks.
In many places they have small
Kinks located near the different school
buildings SO that the younger children
do not have far to 60.

IS THE PUREBRED SIRE PROFIT
ABLE?

ABLE?
A: nice little problem IN farm arith-
metic arose when farmer asked the
agricultural extension division Of the
University of Minnesota recently
whether it would pay him, with ten
COWS, to invest $3.50 in purbred sire
six months old. The answer was
worked out somewhat as follows by
W. L. Cavert:
A purebred bull six months old, pur-
chased for $3.50, would doubtless sell
for from $50 to 500 for beef when
about two years old. This would
mean depreciation Of $50, or $25 a
year.
The average investment in a grade
bull is perhaps $50. The average
amount invested in a $3.50 bull kept
two years with depreciation Of $25
a year would be 1925. The difference
against the purebred is $75. Six per
cent interest on $75 is $3.50.
A young grade bull would increase
in value rather than depreciate. The
increase might be 500 year.
Assuming that the two bulls would
cost the same amount for feed and
care, the. total difference N cost each
year would be $4950 ($25 plus $3.50
plus $2o), to be charged against the
purebred.
If one raised FIVE heifer calves each
year, this would mean an added cost
Of about $40 each; if ten such 'alves,
about SIS each.
But-a well graded COW will usually
sell for from $40 to $50 more than a
cow Of mixed breeding. Furthermore,
we'll bred, high grade cows are usually
worth much more for ones own use
than is indicated by the difference in
the market price.

The degree team Of the Maccabee
lodge Of this city, which is one Of the
best in the state, was at Brainerd OIL
Monday night, where they initiated

mander E. H. Haas Of St. Paul anc
George Gerritz, sargent of the state
lodge and record keeper for the local
lodge, also went up for the meeting.
The Brainerd Dispatch, in a writeup
Of the meeting had the following to
say of the local team:
"The degree work evoked continu
Gus applause. George Gerritz, ST.,
Great Sergeant, occupied the Past
Commander IS station. He is the eff
cient record keeper Of Little Falls

Howard Hovey, Erick johnson, Geo.

estness and power, and made OF the

the best ana noblest in man, and serv-
ing also IS an inspiration to the local

gree team too which We'd with some
Of the best and which will now prob
