LET THE CHICKENS HELP WEN
THE WAR

The hunger period which threatens
the United States and it's allies in the
present war may be warded off, in part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken says A. c. Smith, head Of the
poultry department. Of the Minnesota
College Of Agriculture.
The hean is the only producing crea-
ture that can be proftably kept on
small areas such as city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste in
to highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses large part of her living for
several months in the year and during
this time is usually high producer OF
very fertile eggs. She produces her
kind much more often than any other
productive animal.
She can be cared for by women and
children and often by invaids and con-
valescents.
For these reasons, Mr.. Smith urges
that every well-selected hatchable egg
should be set at this season when eggs
are lower in price than at any other
time Of the year.
Other poultry including ducks, geese;
and squads should also receive careful
attention in view Of the present and
future food situation.

short courses held at the University
Farm. This year it will continue from
May l to June l, and the outlook is
for large number Of students.
The course, which will be under the
direction Of J. L. Mawry, offers oppQr-
tunity for the study Of subjects on
which the intelligent operation Of en-
gines depends and then for practice in
the handling of engines in the open.
For example, among the subjects
studied are: Elementary physics,
steam boilers, pumps, steam engines,
gasoline engines, blacksmithing, belt
facing, babbitting, pipe-setting, rope
splicing, soldering, tube-setting. All
Of these are studied by the practical
methods; that is by doing. In addition

BEANS ARE NEEDED IN TIM & OF
WAR

The crop production subcommittee Of
the state committee Of food production
and conservation recommends among
other things, the growing of beans in
order to ward off the dangers arising
from the present food shortage in the
United States, and to help win the
war.
The average yield of beans for Min
nesota is about Is bushels. With the
present high prices, this means that
beans should be a very profitable crop
this year. Here are few things to
remember in raising beans: =.
Light soils, sandy loans and loans
are better for beans than heavy soils
Small navy beans command the high
est market prices and fewer Of them
are needed for seeding.
Planting should be. delayed unit
danger from frost is past, but not toe
long, as the beans must have time tt
mature before frosts in the fall. IL
northern bean-growing sections, bean:
may be planted between May 20 an<
June 10.
f. Beans should be planted about al
inch and half or two inches deep. il
rows "a inches apart, with the plant
| about four inches apart in the rows
! They should be cultivated only oftel
enough to keep the soil mellow AM
free from weeds.

PLAN FOR SEASONS LABOR NOW

PLAN FOR SEASONS LABOR NOW
Farmers who depend upon transient
labor to harvest the crops this year
face the possibility of a scarcity of
men. By taking advantage of the
present situation, however, they may
avoid losses later through lack Of Ia
Dor.
A considerable number of young men
being released from the Minnesota
College Of Agriculture who have not
had much farm experience may be en-
ployed at this time at fair wages (ac-
cording to their experience), for the
summer and harvest season. It will
be cheaper to employ such men now
and keep them through the harvest
season than to be caught short-handed
in harvest and have to employ tran
sient labor at almost prohibitive prices.
To bring such young men and farm
ers needing them together, labor
agency has been established at Univer-
zsity Farm. A card addressed to the
agency giving the name, address, and
kind of help wanted and probable
length Of time Of employment, may as
s1st in securing needed labor to har-
vest the seasons big crop.

SPEEDERS BEING FINED

Three local persons were arrested or
Saturday and Sunday for automobile
speeding on the local streets. They
were brought before Judge Lyon. Those
arrested were Stephen Simonet, DR.. p:
E. Hall and Harry Schroeder. DR.. Hall
was fined SIS and costs and the other
two were assessed $40 and costs.
On Tuesday Frank Themes Of Pierz
pleaded guilty before Judge Lyon to
driving car without license and he
was fined So and costs.
DR.. Hall admitted that he was speed
ing but he said he was not driving
recklessly. He was on hurry call fol-
lowing an accident, he said.
It is quite generally claimed that the
local traffic ordinance conflicts with the
state traffic laws and that therefore 1t
Is invalid.

| KNUTsoN SCORES POSTAGE IN
CREASE

Washington, May 15-''T The public.
ity given by the American press to
all vital economic problems now con-
fronting the nation cannot be paid
with money, and we must not reward
it with the kiss Of Judas Repre-
sentative Harold Knutson Of Mime
sofa, thus concluded an attack on the
81 100000 war revenue bill in the
house late today.
His speech deals mainly with the
proposed increase in postage rates on
second-class mail, but he also objected
to the principles Of taxation in the
measure.
Scores Proposed Tax
"This new revenue bill,' he said,
"seeks to impose excessive and de-
structive taxes upon established bust
ness which derives no increased profits
from war conditions, but which already
has been punished severely by greatly
increased cost Of production due to ex'
listing conditions.
"From my experience of many years
in the publishing business Nh. Knut-
son continued, ri am convinced that
such prohibitive rates as are proposed
in this bill will destroy many pubnc2'
lions whose publishers are unable to
pay the tax.
VIII Cut Revenue
"The tonnage thus derived from
the mails will result in a net loss OF
postal revenue to the government and
thus destroy at one blow the very o.
iect Of this new taxation.
<'Bear in mind that q free press is
the greatest production Of democracy
ever devised by man. The American
press is performing an invaluable pub
lie service in helping to popularize the
Liberty loan, and it made possible
enactment of necessary war legisla
ton. Our press will protect the vel
fare of the boys at the front and buoy
them up in their hours. Of doubt ane

can be passed a1ong,' said W. s. Jone

THIS Is AN OFF YEAR FOR WHITE
9RUB6

Farmers in southern Minnesota who
are being urged to plant corn on fields
that have been in timothy sod OF old
pastures need not fear white grubs this
year, says A. G. Ruggles Of the Mime
sofa experiment. station. In old timo-
thy sod, the grubs changed to beetles
last fall. In May and June they will
emerge to feed on the leaves of trees,
laying the eggs at that time in the sod.
The new grubs will not be ready to do
any mischief this summer. In we'll cul-
tivated fields OF clover, few eggs are
laid, so that in 1918-1919 only the land
that is in sod this year will be infested
with grubs.
Corn planted on newly turned over
sod in northern Minnesota, however,
may be somewhat damaged this year
but not in 1918. Farmers in turning
over such sods should be on the look:
out for the grubs and if they appear
to be numerous, should not plant corn
! or other hill crops.

NILSSON ATTACKED IN SENATE
CRITICIZED FOR ALLEGED LACK
F. .~ OF COOPERATION.
Council Of Defense and Government
Shipping Board Are Also Targets
Of Senatorial Wrath.

Washington, May 17.-In beginning
consideration Of the 1890, 100000 war
budget, the Senate devoted an entire
session to sweeping criticism of tho
executive branch of the government.
Seldom has the Senate chamber been
the scene of such vehement attacks
continued for five hours behind closed
doors and renewed after the doors
were opened.
No progress was made on the bill,
but with the outburst of indignation
out of the way, Senate leaders thought
passage of the huge appropriation
measure would not be long delayed.
The Council of National Defense, COM
composed of cabinet officers, its civil
Ian advisory commission and tho gov.
eminent shipping board were special
targets of senatorial wrath, and Presi-
dent Wilson himself was sharply criti.
cized.
Powers Not ENLARGED.
The council was charged with 10
urption of authority and with unlaw.
fully delegating power to the advisory
commission. The shipping board was
assailed for alleged interference with
private ship builders and for insisting
upon it's wooden ship program. The
President was attacked for alleged
lack of cooperation and consultation
with Congress.
The upshot of the entire discussion
was adoption of an amendment BY
Senator Sterling of South Dakota, set
ting forth that the powers Of the
Council of National Defense shall not
be considered enlarged because Of wa1
conditions. A section of the bill ap.
propriating 100000 for the defense
council was the basis for the debate.
