IRGES US TO PLANT
WINTER WHEAT
- - -

The Colorado Ways and Means COM
mIttee has sent to all county commit
tees an urgent call to assist in the
great drive for billion bushels of
wheat in 1918. Judge Stone, chair
man of the committee has received
the following letter:
War Council
and
Ways and Means Committee
Food Supply
State Capitol, Denver
Aug. %, 1917.
Dear Sir:
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has set one billion bushels of wheat
as the target for the American farmer
to shoot at in 1918. This means plant
ing approximately fifty million acres
of winter wheat this fall and cor
responding increase in spring wheat
area next year.
/ view of the fact that congress
has specifically fixed two dollars as
the minimum price for wheat in the
principal primary markets for the
1918 crop, it seems that the farmers
Of this state will do well to take ad-
vantage of this certainty.
! would appreciate it if you would
give publicity to this letter in your
county at once.
Yours very truly,
H. w. CORNELL,
Director of Organization.
1t is quite probable that winter
wheat will be found paying crop in
Gunnison county some day, but un-
fortunately our season is so short that
to get a reasonable start in the fall
this wheat should be in the ground
right now. From time to time ranch
men here have tried wheat and it
grows all right, but to seed it in Aug
ust makes the work overlap haying.
The only solution of this is to pre-
pare the ground early in the season
and it will then settle into a firm
seed bed and be in the best possible
to plant with little effort
just under these August and early
rains.

In this convention the utmost need
of saving every ounce of straw in the
state and in the northwest was urged.
The possibility, even, of legally for
bidding the burning of strawstacks
was discussed One of the group
suggested that the burning of stack
ought this year to be punishable by
a sentence of at least thirty days in
jail.
1t is probable that efforts will be
made to work out the problem by
both of the methods suggested, get
ing the farmers who have feed to
AXE more cattle and shipping under
special freight rates forage to farm
ers who have cattle but no feed.
The Markets Division of the State
Commission of Food Production and
Conservation has the whole subject
under advisement.

Richard Anderson Now an officer


st. Peter Free Press.-Richard An
derson, who has been taking train
ing at the officers reserve training
camp at Fort Smelling for the past
three months, has received his COM
mission as second lieutenant in the
United States regular army and will
commence duty at once.
Lieutenant Anderson was appoint
ed to take training in the Fort Smell
ing camp by Captain Magner as one
of those selected from Company K.
During his stay at the camp he made
a splendid record and obtained per-
feet marks in all his work.
Those who are in line for COM
mission at the training were divided
into three grades. Grade A men were
given their commission at once and
assigned to active work. Grade B
men we're given their commissions
at once and will be held in reserve
on full pay. They are liable to be
called at any moment. Grade double
B are sent home and held in reserve
until further notice without pay.
Lieutenant Anderson served on the
Mexican border with Company K as
sergeant. He was formerly an in
jstructor in mathematics and science
at the st. Peter high school.

CHANCE FOR FARMERS
WITH FEED TO SPARE
DrOuth is Sending Large Numbers of
Cattle to the Stockyards-Com-
mittee at Work

prepared by the Markets Division
of the State Committee of Food Pro
duction and Conservation
A mighty effort will be made to
prevent the slaughter of breeding
cattle and other livestock this fall.
Ways and means for this prevention
we're discussed few days ago at a
meeting of the Markets Division of
the State Committee of Food Produc-
ton and Conservation with a group
of men from the South st. Paul Stock
yards and from the farms of Mime
lSOta.
The situation is really very grave
The drouth in parts Of northern Min
nesota, in North Dakota, and in Mon
tana is already sending large num-
bers of cattle to the stockyards. The
farmers shipping it simply cannot
hold it because they have no feed.
Two methods have been suggested:
Urging the farmers in regions where
there is a supply of forage to keep
their fodder and buy cattle, thus
saving at least part Of the cattle
from the block; persuading, the rail-
roads to grant special tariffs on for
age, in order that supplies may be
shipped to farmers having cattle but
no feed.

Speared q Gar Pike

Brooten Review.-WhIie out at
scandinavian Lake last Friday, E. E.
Johnson and r. v. Nelson took a
boat to go out to fish and while row.
ing on the east side of the lake they
spied a number of large fish. Not
being able to get them to bite on any
kind of bait they came back to shore
and took spear and went back, and
Mr.. Johnson was fortunate in spear
ing one of the fish. They brought it
to town and it weighed thirteen and
One-half pounds and was forty inches
long. 1t is called the gar pike. The
name is applied to the fish on account
Of it's long and slender body and
pointed head. It inhabits the lakes
and rivers of temperate and tropi-
cal America. How it got into Scand-
inavian lake is question we can
not answer. Harry Odell of the
BroOten meat market sent the fish
to Detroit, Mich, to have it mounted
and same can be seen at that place
when it comes back.

FARMERS FORUM : :;;=:::: : S:: !:

an early-sown crop of fall rye. with
rye sown at the rate of two bushels
per acre on we'll prepared land there
is a possibility of excellent pasture
for the various classes of animals.
Fall rye is best adapted to the needs
of sheep and they do exceptionally
we'll upon it. A thick growth or fall
rye is also acceptable pasture for
hogs and gives the opportunity for
material saving of grain. When we'll
grown, fall rye makes an excellent
fall pasture for cattle of any kind
It is especially useful in quickening
the milk flow from dairy COWS. Best
of all, a fall rye crop can be pastured
by sheep or cattle during the fall
months without in the least reducing
the WELD of grain from it the spring
following. Any one who is short OF
pasture should pillow up a piece OF
land and SOW it to fall rye by August
Is.
Where the rye is not wanted or
rye seed is not available, good fall
pasture can be provided by sowing
a mixture of oats one and one-halt
bushels, barley bushel, and Dwarf
Essex rape two pounds per acre. This
mixture sown by August Is will furn-
ish an excellent growth Of rough for
age that will be very acceptable when
the grass pastures are gone.-An-
drew Boss, University Farm, ST. Paul.

They Buv Quack Grass

William c.. Kendall q Co. of Lu-
verne, dealers in quack grass roots,
have now established buying sta
ton in Pipestone yesterday and made
arrangements with F. J. Peterson, of
the Rex Machinery, whereby Quack
grass roots brought in by farmers
may be delivered to the Peterson shop.
The Kendall Co. offers 10 to Is cents
per pound for quack grass roots,
which must be delivered free from
tops and dirt or should not be washed
or dried The establishment of this
market gives the farmer with quack
grass on his premises good induce
ments to clear his land of the pest
and at the same time make money
from the sale of the roots. Mr..
Kendall states that his company has
built up an extensive business at Lu-
.erne, employing at times as high as
seventy-five people.

Fall Pastures are Profit Producers

Fall Pastures are Profit Producers
It is important that livestock go
into winter quarters in good condi-
ton. Good flesh and vitality gained
during the fall months lessons the
cost Of carrying through the winter
It is difficult to make stock do as we'll
any place as on good pastures and an
attempt should be made to provide
the best of grazing facilities during
the fall months. In many instances
the regular pastures have been eaten
bare while the crops have been grow
ing and must be supplemented, if
best gains are to be made.
On most fields on Minnesota farms
there is an excellent growth of after
math on the meadows and in the
stubble fields. If this is not to be
cut for hay it should by all means
be grazed-off. This can sometimes
be done by fencing the entire farm
In other cases the individual field
providing the aftermath will need
to be fenced. In any event it should
be used, for by so doing the stock
can be put in better condition for
winter.
On farms where aftermath is not
available and where the pastures are
bare a good supplement is offered in
