TEACHERS SALARIES RAISED
SCHEDULE HERE NOW UP TO AV-
ERAGE OF OTHER CITIES OF
THIS SIZE IN STATE

A step has just been taken by the
board of education of this city toward
retaining the good teachers and as in
ducement to other good teachers to
come here to teach school, by raising
the schedule of salaries all along the
line This action was taken at a meet
ing Of the board Monday afternoon.
In the past it has been a hard mat
ter for the local board to get good
teachers and to retain the good ones
after getting them on account Of the
low salaries. In this city, according
to statistics, the teachers wages have
been considerably below what they
We're IN other cities Of the same size
throughout the state and for that rea-
son the greater percentage Of teachers
secured were inexperienced. After they
have taught a year here they have
been able to get positions which paid
a larger salary. Hereafter the sala-
ries paid the teachers here will be
equally as large as in other cities of
this size.
State High School Inspector Phillips
was at the board meeting and he
strongly recommended the increase.
The schedule established is as fol,
lows: For teachers Of the first to sixth
grade, inclusive, $50, $50, $50, 5000
and sos. For the seventh and eighth
grades, 500, $65, $67.50, $40, $3.50
and $75 per month.

LOCAL ATTORNEY FINDS OPIN
ION OF ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL ON QUESTION

AS result of question arising as
to the constitutionality Of the law es-
tablishing four-year-terms for county
officials, an old opinion from Assistant
Attorney General C. L. Hilton has
been referred to by D. M. Cameron,
which opinion holds that the law is
constitutional. The opinion was re-
ceived by Mr.. Cameron while he was
county attorney of this county. The
opinion follows:
FYou are advised that in my opin-
ion the legislature had the authority
under the constitution to provide as it
has by law for the increasing Of the
terms Of office of certain county Of
ticers The length of terms of office
provided for in the law in question is
not fixed by the constitution, and I DO
not construe the constitutional provi-
sion above referred to as preventing
the legislature from passing law
frightening such terms Of offce.''

PURE SEED RAISES YIELDS AND
s55@ PROFITS. 81

Pnre-bred seed grain adapted to the
conditions under which it is growing
will increase crop yields very materi:
ally over common or unimproved seed.
Any farmer can improve his grain seed
at little cost. ~. !,
Many years of experimentation
have shown that improved varieties,
such as Minnesota No. 281 and Mime
sofa No. 295 oats, and Minnesota No.
los barley, are much superior to the
to the common types of yield. Min
nesota No. 1859 wheat has raised the
yield OF wheat upon thousands Of
farms in the state.
A few dollars spent for pure bred,
improved seed grain will be sufficient
to grow enough seed to plant several
acres the following year. This improv-
ed seed should be put in plot by it.
self or at one end of the regular field.
Care should be taken in harvesting to
see that it is kept separate from the
rest of the grain. If the main field
is growing a different variety, it is
we'll to put this seed in a plot by it.
self. The seed-bed should be we'll pre-
pared and clean. When harvested, the
grain should be we'll shocked and cap
ped to avoid damage by the weather.
This will insure seed grain Of higher
quality and stronger termination.
The next year, the seed produced on
this pure-bred seed plot may be used
in the general fields and in two sea-
sons time the farmer can be growing
pure-bred grain. This kind of grain,
thoroughly cleaned, treated for smut
and grown on clean land, will enlarge
the yield and improve the quality of
the small-grain crop, and larger crop
crop will be obtained at little increase
lin the cost Of production. The sale of
pure-bred grain for seed will make a
profitable side-line, too. - t.
This spring is a good time to be
gin making the change that will put
the farm upon pureseed basis.-P

COOPERATION BASE OF BETTER
DA1RYNG

The foundation Of profitable dairy:
ing in Minnesota is in the cooperative
creamery. If the time ever comes when
true competition ceases and Minnesota
dairymen find themselves in the posi-.
ton of those in some Of the south.
western states, the business Of pro-
ducing milk and dairy stock will be
severely handicapped.
Some creameries in the state are
paying from to cents a pound more
for butter fat than others, though all
have the same market in which to sell
their butter. The causes of difference
in the prices are the quality of the but
ter and efficiency in the management
Of the business. Machinery better
suited to the needs of the establish
ment or buttermaker better qualified
to do his work well might improve the
quality of the product.
A creamery institute corps is being
organized at University Farm, st. Paul
to work in the western half Of the
state, where cooperative creakneries
are most numerous. It is expected that
meetings will be held at several places
in the latter half Of this month";.

the season than they are now.
Look over your spraying machinery;
polish up the rusty parts; replace the
broken or missing parts.
Prune out old or cankered wood
from the apple trees before spraying
operations are begun.
Look over the fruit trees and see
whether scale insects are present. If
so plan to give the dormant ime-sul-

Raspberry canes injured by red
necked cane-borers and tree crickets,
if they were not cut out last year,

Formaldehyde for the treatment of

They defeated them easily on the To-

GRADE GUERNSEYS % BE REG.
ISTERED

A production registry OF grade
Guernsey cows has been established
at the Northeast Demonstration farm
and station at Duluth. It is thought
that the registry will stimulate i'm
provement in Guernsey herds by plac-
ing premium on registered bulls and
by standardizing the market price Of
good heifers.
The only animals that will be in
Guided in the registry are cows and
heifers from registered Guernsey bulls.
The registry is of production, not of
individuals, and a certain production
record must be made before the ami
nal is eligible. The aim is to elimin-
ate the scrub bull, and the grade bull
as we'll. Values will tend to become
standardized on the basis of produc-
ton, and as a result both buyers and
sellers will be protected.
Here are the conditions of registry:
All records must be made and vouch.
ed for by a regularly organized test
ing association or farmers club through
a special committee.
| The dam must have an authentic rec
lord of at least 200 pounds Of butter
fat in single milking period.
The animal must be from duly
registered, pure-bred Guernsey bull ani
a COW holding at least the minimum
record for butter fat. In. case thu
dam 8 record is not available, the COW
or heifer must make a record of 30t
pounds in one lactation period. If sh'
ranges between 200 and 800 pounds
she becomes a foundation COW. In ad
dition to production requirements AM
breeding, the cow must conform t.
general breed in color and type.-M

GRASS NURSE CROP SHOULD BE
LIGHT

It is important that good stands of
grass be obtained in making new seed
ings. Livestock raising is increasing
rapidly and grass is becoming more
valuable.
A common practice is to SOW grass
seed with some Of the spring grain
crops. Many have an idea that the
grain crops serve useful purpose IN
protecting the grass seed. AS a mat
ter of fact, the grass would grow bet
teri sown' alone on clean land. Many
times, however, farmers cannot afford
to lose the use Of their land for sea-
son and, for that reason, grow a crop
of grain while seeding to grass.
Barley or spring wheat makes the
most desirable crop to SOW the grass
seed with. If the seeding of grain
can be hghtened somewhat, it gives
even a more favorable chance for the
grass. Barley sown at the rate of "a
bushel and half an acre, or wheat
at the rate of bushel and "a peck,
would be better, so far as getting a
stand of grass is concerned, than heav'
Ter seeding.
The ground should be we'll prepared
and the crop should be removed just as
soon as it natures. If the grain lodges
it is likely to smother out the grass
It is sometimes advisable to cut a
piece Of grain before it is mature tc
prevent the smothering out of the
grass crop. Since it natures earle,
than other spring grains, barley has
an advantage over the other crops as a
nurse crop.
Attention to all these matters viii
guard against shortage of feed next
year.-Andrcw Boss, University Farm
