DRAINAGE MEETING
CALLED FOR FARGO
THREE STATES WILL COMBINE
IN SEEKING HELP FROM

MINNESOTA AND RED RIVER
VALLEYS MAY SOON BE
BENEFITED.

New Ulm will be represented at a
meeting at Fargo next week when plans
for draining the territory along the
Minnesota and Red rivers, and other
streams tributary, will be discussed.
Mayors of all the cities interested have
been invited to be present or send
delegates to the conference, which will
be held in the North Dakota metropolis
next Monday and Tuesday, November
10 and IA.
A communication from A. R. Kaercher
of Ortonville, received by Mayor L. A.
Fritsche, outlines the plans of the con-
ference quite fully. He says that so
far as the meeting itself is concerned,
efforts are being made by the committee
in charge to have a large attendance.
The Governors of North and South
Dakota have agreed to be present and
it is also expected Governor Burnquist
of Minnesota will be there as we'll as
most of the senators and representatives
of all three states. An effort is also
being made to secure the attendance of
the chairman of every town board along
the Red river valley.

TWO ROBBERIES IN BROWN
COUNTY ON MONDAY NIGHT

Two robberies took place in the
west end of Brown County some time
during Monday night So far no trace
of the perpetrators of either crime has
been discovered. One of the robberies
was committed at Sleepy Eye and the
other, at Springfield.
At Sleepy Eye the Pioneer Hardware
Store, owned by Bertrand & Son was
entered through the back door and
goods valued at about $4,000 stolen.
1t is believed that three men were
involved in this affair. The goods
taken consisted Of quantity of gloves
and mittens, five razors, and pocket
knives valued at about $85.
The robbery is believed to have
taken place about 10 o'clock Monday
night and it was discovered early Tues
day morning but the sheriff's office
here was not notified. During the
day Tuesday Sheriff Julius heard of
the robbery and left in his car to make
an investigation.
No trace of TIE men has yet been
discovered. Sheriff julius took the Chief
Of Police at Sleepy Eye to task for not
notifying his office.
well, l didn't know who to call
up," was the only excuse offered by the
officer of the law.
At Springfield George Wurmstein's
saloon was entered through window
and twenty quart bottles of whiskey
taken. This was supposed to have
taken place about o'clock Tuesday
morning. Two men, one tall and the
other short, were seen in the vicinity
Of the saloon during the night and are
believed ito have been the thirsty Wis
itors. Mr.. Wurmstein drove to New
Ulm Tuesday and notified the sheriff.
1t was also through Wurmstein that
the sheriff heard of the Sleepy Eye
robbery.

to 100000 acres. The amount to be
benefited along the Minnesota would be
quite as large, and it is our aim to have
a bill presented in Congress that will be
of equal benefit to the territory covered
by the Red and Minnesota river valleys.
eve must have a representative body
of men to represent the interests along
the Minnesota river, that we may work
as one man, so that we can get the united
action of the three states focused on the
same thing and at the same time, and if
we do that we will get just what we ask
for
For many years the different interests
have been working, each community for
itself, but it is now believed that if all
the interests are pooled and all work in
unison much more Roadway will be made.
1t is proposed to ask the Federal
Government to aid in financing the
drainage plans upon large scale.
Machinery will be sought with which to
carry on the work for which the locali-
ties interested will repay in ng time
payments.
Mr.. Kaercher says that from govern
ment surveys he is convinced that the
following impounding reservoirs will be
sufficient to relieve both valleys from
overflow even in extremely high water:
Red Lake, Ottertail Lake, with it's
tributary lakes; Traverse Lake, with the
territory that can be made tributary to
it; Big Stone Lake, Lac Qui Parle Lake
and reservoir at Redwood Falls, with
some dredging in the Minnesota river,
and control works in the Ottertail and
Rabbit rivers, with canal to Traverse
Lake.

Cash FOR FARMERS
IN RAISING PORK
SHOW COST CAN
BE REDUCED TO 3 CENTS
A POUND
ALFALFA PASTURE MAKES HOG
MEAT WORTH $15s TO THE
ACRE

That Minnesota farmers can produce
pork for 3 cents a pound and sell it for
8 cents, is the contention of Stewart
Leaning, county agricultural agent Of
Nicollet county. Mr.. Leaning is the
author of an article which appeared in
the St. Peter Free Press, last week,
which is we'll worth a perusal by the
farmers of this and other districts.
There is a large amount of data in
Minnesota and other states to show
that under present conditions pork can
be produced at from three to four dollars
a hundred pounds" says the Nicollet
agent, Live hogs this summer have
been selling at from nine to ten dollars
a hundred, and it is evident that the best
methods are not generally practiced or
that hog growers are engaged in very
profitable line of business. Inquiries
among large number Of breeders in
dictate that the former conditions usually
exist ~
Pasture Lands For Hogs Urged.
Gains in dry feeding are slower and
more expensive than in pasture lands,
Mr.. Leaning contends. Under those
conditions the cost will reach six cents
and often more. One of the essential
problems of the hog grower is to make
as great a use of pasture as possible.
The majority of farmers appreciate this
fact and allow their swine the range of
an alfalfa or bluegrass pasture, although
this methods is open to the objection
these plants do not provide pasture
during the entire growing period of the
hog and consequently part of the gains
must be made by expensive dry feeding.
R. C. Ashby, of the state experimental
station, having charge of the swine feed
ing Investigations, has been making
some valuable studies in the most practi-
cal pasture methods for this class of
livestock. He recommends feeding of
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-11-08

corn in scientific quantities and the free
use of the rape and alfalfa pastures.
BY feeding lots of hogs four pounds Of.
corn per hundred pounds live weight
and then giving them access to the rape
fields he was able to produce $500
pounds of pork per acre. The same
amount of corn on alfalfa pasture pro-
duced 400 pounds.
Winter Rye For Spring Pigs
Another plan worked out by Mr..
Ashby and other experimenters is to put
spring pigs on winter rye pasture as
soon as they are old enough in the spring
and let them stay there until May when
they are put in to alfalfa pastures, and
the rye is plowed up and planted to
corn. 1t is said that an acre of these
pastures will support Is to % hogs.
About the middle of August the hogs
should be turned in to. the flint corn
pastures, which are usually ready about
that time. The swine will do their own
husking. After the flint corn has been
cleaned up they may be turned into dent
corn, it being assumed that fields of
both have been planted. In the latter
field they will be finished. Experiments
show that corn thus fed has brought
$1.20 bushel, and there has been no
handling of the corn and but very little
of the swine.
The value of the pork produced on
rape pasture was $135 an acre and that
on alfalfa was $158. From these
amounts must be deducted the cost of
labor and the risk involved, which has
been found to run from $50 to $40 an
acre.
The figures are the result of. careful
investigation and it is believed they
are applicable to farm conditions general
.ly.
Station Wants Co-Operation
In order to determine the farm costs
generally the state experiment station
is anxious to get in touch with few
farmers, next season, who have decided
to handle their hogs in definite manner
and will do little weighing and keep a
few feed records. The state farm Of
fcials believe that it will pay any farmer
who will cooperate with them in this
matter. The number of these demon
STATIONS will be limited to not more
than fifteen or twenty in the state, and
it is hoped that some Brown county
farmers will be willing to take part in
them.
