DO YOUR PART.

Several recruits are needed to bring
the Americas Light Infantry to the
required number for the minimum
peace strength which is 65, besides
the number required to bring the
company to war strength.
The A. l.. l. is as much the heart
ard soul of Americas as her schools.
her churches and her people. 1t is
soul of our soul, and blood of our
blood. 1t bespeaks the best that is in
the city, and to the number of out-of-
town recruits, the Times-Recorder
welcomes them.
The Fifth Georgia regiment is al
ways referred to as "Atlanta's OWL"
Can't the A. L. I. belong to Americas.
They need recruits, and every young
American who can swear his alleg-
lance to the United States govern
ment and the Stars and Stripes should
not hesitate.
Augusta is embarrassed. The Al
gusta Chronicle is appealing in path
etc tones for the people to rally to
her battalion. They have not muster
cd to peace strength, much less war
strength. But all around us-Atlanta
Macon, Columbus, Forsyth-that pa
triotic pride is being shown.
Americas must at least do her part
and it is to be regretted that she does
not do more.
Is Europe right in charging us a
country of -worshippers?

LIVESTOCK BY-PRODUCTS.

That there is money in livestock NJ
one will gainsay who has studied and
looked into the situation.
Under careful management the live
stock industry may be made extreme
ly profitable, but under poor manage
ment, the results will be the opposite
and those who engage in ii can lose
a pile of hard earned cash.
There are other profits besides tina.
of livestock itself. There are by
products so to speak, and if these are
conserved or preserved, call it what
you wish, the profits may be increased
aid the industry enhanced no little
bit
Take the matter of manure, if this
is taken care of and not wasted, a
nice little sum can be realized in the
way of saving in the purchase of
other fertilizers, besides you get a
better quality than that you buy
So if you are in the livestock bust
ness don't fail to prepare for the
saving and the conservation of the
manure, for unless you do your profits
from the industry will be very mater
tally lessened.

getting the farm properly drained,
and the landscape effect to work

crops, they are experimenting with
pure bred beef cattle of the Shorthorn

grades of each kind. In all these ex-
periments they often find that they

HOG RESTAURANTS
FINDING FEED FACTS
Farm School Wants to Know for
the Benefit of Hog Raisers
of This Section

Because we all confess a liking for
the Well-fed and contented hog who
let's the world wag along while mer-
ciless Time brings him ever closer
to the smokehouse and breakfast ba-
con stage, the "hog restaurant" was
the most popular of the many expert
ments visited by the hundred of visit
ors at the agricultural school last
Friday. s.-
The restaurant is across the
road from the school in an alfalfa
field fenced off into acre pastures. In
some of these plots are brood sows
being summefed on alfalfa and water
alone, at noscost except that the land
is worth. perhaps $5: 90 "a year, and
besides suppl Iyihg feed for the sowa.

lation into new unity,
something different from and some
thing better than either the old or
the new element. DIR. Vincent ex-
pressed entire confidence that the
choice of America, as between a
policy of aloofness and a policy of
recognizing its world obligation,
would choose the latter, standing
for world peace and good will not
weakly but definitely and positively. {.
This statement as to the future fol-
lowed a swift outline of American
crises, by which it was shown that
Americanism is a changing thing, a
growth, by which standards are ad-
vanced.
A may pole dance and a series of
national folk dances by young wo-
men of the teachers summer train
ing school at the school of agricul-
ture preceded DIR. Vincent's ad-
dress. the young ladies were
trained by Miss Myrtle Johnson, of
the school of agriculture here, and
their work was applauded generously.
Each group was obliged to repeat its
performance.
An automobile tour of the station
and some of the tributary farming
country, a meeting of the Alumni As
sociation of the West Central School
of Agriculture, boys and girls cub
meetings, a. tennis tournament, a
lawn supper, and a community party
at which there was dancing were 9TH
er features of the day. Frank Han
cock, president of the Morris Com
mercial Club had charge of the auto
mobile tour.
The members of the Board of Re-
gents and of the experiment station
staff, at Morris Friday, were: F. B.
Snyder, A. E. Rice, C. w. Glotfelter,
C. G. Schulz, President Vincent, Dean
A. F. Woods, R. W. Thatcher, An
drew Boss, F. j. Away, R. M.

all but one plant, while the next row
to it, the Baltic, has had only one per
cent winter killing, an equally good
record being made by the Minnesota
Grimm and the Turkestan. The Oak
ota seed sold so extensively thru this
section by the West Central Mime
sofa Development Association has
under test showed a low degree of
winter killing and a good yield. Here
is seen also the yellow -fowered Siber-
ian alfalfa which Prof. Hanson
brought from the edge of the ice
fields. 1t is absolutely hardy, lies low
to the ground and has a branching
root, but yields only one crop year.
Besides the variety tests. trials are
being made also to determine the
best time to seed, the amount to seed,
the preparation of the seed bed and
whether with or without catch crop,
and whether or not to fertilize. Plots
are fertil'zed with gypsum, acid phos-
phate, acid phosphate and sulphate
of potash and sulphate of potash alone,
and the general conclusion so far is
that alfalfa does not need a catch
crop and the West Central soil does
not need fertilizer. The truth is that
alfalfa will grow like a weed in West
Central Minnesota, and you have to
kick it out to kill it.
On the old alfalfa field across the
road from the school, experiments are
being made in growing barley, wheat
corn and rye on alfalfa sod. The
field was in alfalfa, for five years, and
it took powerful tractor to break up
the heavy roots.

for Morris, according to an announce
ment made by E. c. Higbie, superin-
tendent of the local agricultural school
and experiment station
The town declared a holiday in hon.
or of the visit. Business men closed
their places for part of the day and
teachers and students of the summer
session of the school of agriculture
offered attractive entertainment.
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist, a
member of the board of regents, was
not forgotten. Incidentally he was
mentioned in praise by two of the
afternoon speakers, F. B. Snyder,
president of the board, and F. W. Muir
ply, of Wheaton; and each mention
of his name was met with applause by
the twelve or fifteen hundred people
present. Mr.. Snyder, the first speak
er of the afternoon, having skctched
briefly the history of Minnesota, made
a forecast of the states future. In
doing so, he referred to Governor
Burnquist's recent order to the auth
critics on the iron range to put an
end to the rioting there at any cost,
reading the governors telegram. Then
he expressed approval, and the crowd
t: seconded the sentiment by vigorous
applause. Mr.. Murphy, following
. with lessons from the life of Lincoln,
touched upon the same incident, and
again the crowd sounded its approval.
Twelve young women in the garb
of milkmaids, after the addresses,
proved themselves genuine milkmaids.
Six handsome cows from the barns of
the experiment farm were led out and
tied up beside the dairy barn. In re-
lays of six each, the young women at
the word then set to milking the cows.
They MIXED for two minutes. There
upon the other six took turn OF

measured. The first prize in this
novel contest-an ice cream freezer
went to Esther L. Norsen, of Whea-
ton. The consolation prize-a small
milk pail, filled with candy-went to
Rose j. Nelson, of Hancock.
The first prize in a stock Judging
contest, in which beef cattle, dairy
cattle, and draft horses were judged,

LEUTY AND GAME
CHOSEN ON BOARD
Annual School Meeting was
Quiet-Central and Lincoln
Sites May be Sold

The annual school meeting was held
in this city Saturday evening and
passed off very quietly, little or no
interest having been created. The
attendance was small and there was
no contest in the election of officers.
Drs. G. E. Caine and Amos Leuty
were the officers whose terms ex-
pired. Both were inclined to refuse
a denomination but at the urgent soli-
citation of friends they consented to
permit the use of their names and
were unanimously reelected.
The only important matter that
came up for discussion was the pro-
position to dispose of the Central and
Lincoln school properties and the
board was authorized to proceed in
the matter if conditions arose war
ranting the sale. The matter has been
discussed BY the board members at
former meetings and it is understood
there is a divided sentiment on the
matter of selling the Central pro-
perty. Several prospective buyers
have made inquiries. The matter viii
be taken up at some future meeting Of
the board.

CORN TAKES POST
GRADUATE COURSE
Experiment Station wants 1t to

Yield Better and Mature
Still Earlier

Minnesota No. 13 corn and Wiscon-
sin No. are taking a post graduate
course at the West Central Minnesota
Experiment Station. It is we'll known
to corn raisers that the type of this
popular corn is not yet fixed, and so
the farm school is giving it a course
of training to work out some of the
bad habits of half-wild ancestors that
occasionally break out in present re-
presentatives of the Ianily. The
school desires to train the corn to
mature earlier and produce a more
uniform ear of still better yield.
In other fields of corn the amount of
fertilizer that the corn likes best is
also being inquired into.
Then there are rows and rows of
wheat, 153 in all, standing up like
pupils at a spelling bee, and each try
ing to make the best possible record
in yield, and disease resistance, and
adaptibility. While Prof. Miller
plays no favorites among them, but
gives them each the same painstaking
care, and marks the score of each
one ruthlessly, yet it is noticeable
that he takes pride in the record that
some are making.
Every body knows that continuous
cropping with one kind of grain is
bad for the soil, but the station
takes nothing on faith, but wants
to know just how bad the practice
really is, and so here the visitor
finds plots which are being sown tc
the same grain year after year, anG
