ADOLPH KLAUSE GETS "A
SECOND ARMY PROMOTION

A letter recently received by Chief
of Police John F. Herzog, from First
Lieutenant Adolph Klause of the Second
Regiment, M. N. G., now station ed at
Camp Llano Grande, Texas, brings the
news to the lieutenant's New Ulm friends
that he has received second promotion
and in other ways honored since going
to the border.
Lieutenant Klause, soon after reach
ing Texas was made chief of police of the
Second Regiment, and now the general
in command of the camp has promoted
him to be provost marshal, having COM
mand of the military police of the camp,
consisting of an entire division, includ-
ing nine regiments of infantry, two re-
giments OF artillery, lot of cavalry,
scouts, signal corps, engineers, medical
corps, and the necessary transports.
The lieutenant continues to live with
Co. A., but has an office in the division
camp headquarters.
Lieutenant Klause, shortly before
his latest promotion, had returned from
Florida where military shooting con-
test was conducted during the month
of October. In that contest the lieu
tenant was awarded a bronze medal
for the score he made on the 1,0O0-yar DIS
range, making score of 40 out of a
possible so. He also received a medal
for his work on the 25-yard pistol range.
The Minnesota Rifle Team took fourth
place out of fifty-six teams competing in
the national match.
In his letter Lieutenant Klause says
the weather along the Rio Grande is
now about on a par with that of the
vicinity of New Ulm in June. The
farmers are at work the same as in May
in Southern Minnesota. Beans, cab
bage, sugar cane, sweet potatoes and
other crops are up nicely.
Lieutenant Klause sends his regards to
all New Ulm friends.

WHY SHOULD STUMPS PARAI,IzE
FARMING?

That extensive farming, rather than
intensive farming, is still the great pro-
blem Of the American farmer is a fact
beyond argument. The expert obser-
yer sees the'evidence on every hand
millions of acres going to waste which
might be ridded Of stumps, plowed.
sowed, and made the focal points for a
new tidal wave Of farmer prosperity
1t is no exaggeration to say that most
OF America s logged-over land is rich in
agricultural possibilities.
There certa.c'y IS nothing new in the
idea Of harncgsinS forest land to the
pillow. American history makes it's start
upon the clearing in the forest-upor
that first scanty crop Of corn which
served for the initial Thanksgiving
dinner Of the Pilgrim Fathers.
With up-to-date methods and machin
cry Of stump pulling at their disposal
many modern American farmers hest
tate to do the very thing which ou
forefathers were obliged to do with tn
pillow, painful labor of their hands.
True to the adage that history re
peats itself, the first American land
clearing has found it's counterpart i
many subsequent feats Of daring lam
cultivation. For instance, there is tn
interesting story Of the three Bene
dictine monks, who some thirty year
ago, founded a colony in the wilds O
the Ozark mountains of Arkansas.
They were not equipped with moder
methods and machinery. They dug u
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1916-12-22

the stumps in the most primitive manner
Yet, today, this colony has 100 acres OF
land under a high state of cultivation.
And this land has proved its ability to
produce better than $13,500 worth OF
crops, dairy products, poultry, etc. IN
a single year.
In Arkansas, in Louisiana, in Mon
tano, Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Wis

but wise and thrifty immigrants have
bought hideous, barren stump lands for
song and promise. And by patient
industry they have redeemed these
lands and made them blossom into a
sure means Of independence and pros
perity. Thus they have put to shame
many a less progressive native farmer.
The clearing and cultivation Of for
est lands, which has been an impor-
tant American industry from the day
that the first white man landed on the
shores Of Plymouth has yet to take on
the aspect Of great nationwide move
/ ment. But farmers as a class are be
coming more alive to the gold that lies
under their stumps than they have been
and the next few years should witness
q much more earnest and concerted
effort on the part OF farm owners to IN
crease their holdings in good cut-ove1
land, and prepare it with whatever
stump-land they already possess fol
the sowing and the reaping. Il is the
next step necessary to make the aver
age American farm a better rounded
and therefore better paying propc-
sition.
