NEW ULM BROWN COUNTY, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY MAY 1gl

after the call last June, Mollison, in the
presence of myself, promised one of the
machine gun sergeants that if he would
keep on the good work he was doing at
Smelling, he would give him a COM
mission of at least a second lieutenant
so as to have at least one officer of the
GO. at New Ulm. 1t was admitted that
this sergeant continued his good work,
but Mollison did OF make good on his
promise. Again at Fort Smelling when
the regiment was mustered out, and the
question arose of turning over the
machine gun property, the military store
keeper and the officers of the company
wanted to have it turned over to Major
Pfaender, and he had agreed to sign and
become responsible for it, but the colonel
baked at the plan and would not allow
it: Capt. Jos. Hofmeister of the band,
also received scanty consideration at the
hands of the colonel. In short, Mollison
seems never to have forgotten New Ulm's
having elevated Buschers to the colonelcy
and this in spite of the fact that there
exists between the rest of the officers and
the men from Faribault, and those from
New Ulm, the kindliest feeling.''

potato field should be narrowed with a
plke-toothed harrow across the rows
to level down the rows and to kill weeds.
Within another ten days, just as the
potatoes are beginning to sprout, the
field should again be narrowed, the teeth
OF the harrow being set at an angle to
prevent uprooting the plants, If weeds
are very numerous, the field should be
narrowed more frequently. Minnesota
Farmers Library Bulletin No. 38 gives
additional details as to potato cultiva-
ton.
Seed Potato. Plots
Every potato grower should have a
seed potato plot. He should select his
best tubers, those which are true to type
and free from diseases. Then he should
give his plot extraordinary care. Virgin
soil or a piece of land which has not
grown potatoes for at least five years
should be used for the plot. Minnesota
Farmers Library Bulletin No. so gives
detailed information as to seed potato
plots.
Surplus Seed Should be Reported
Those having more than enough seed
potatoes should report to R.. S. Mackin-
tosh, University Farm. Those in need of
supplies should also report to Mr..
Macintosh. He will endeavor to bring
seller and buyer together to their common
advantage and for the good of the coun-
try in the present emergency Of war.

second annual meeting of the confer
ence OF state and provincial boards of

resolutions petitioning the President

can people for the treatment of dis
ease.
The drug heretofore has come from
Germany, where it is protected by Ger
man patent rights, anu the declaration
of war against Germany has cut Off all
shipments to this country.
The medical world has found that it
is the only effective agent in the treat
ment of certain disease and will be
powerless to work without it. The
health officers ask that the United
States government permit the manu-
facture of salyarsan in this country
and disregard the protection the drug
formerly was accorded under the Ger
man rights.
The health officers concluded their
conference today with the election of
the following officers: Dr. J. S. Pratt

dent: DR.. W. A. Sawyer, chairman of

Have Pro-German Sympathies.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 3.-Dr. Lauro
Muller has rendered President Braz his
resignation as minister of foreign af-
fairs. The government has received
information that the Brazilian minis
ter to Germany has been ordered de-
tained in Berlin and has ordered the
detention of Adolpf PAUL., German
minister to Brazil, who is on his way
to Uruguay
DR.. Lauro Muller has been bitterly
criticised in Brazil since the relations
between the republic and Germany
first became acute, on the ground that
he was pro-German in his sympathies.
His opponents accused him of using
his influence to prevent breach of
relations between Brazil and Germany,
and demanded his resignation. DIR.
Muller was appointed foreign minis
ter in February, 1912, and even at that
time was attacked as being too friend
ly to Germany, an accusation appar-
entity based in part, at least, on his
German descent. He is one of the best
known statesmen in South America,
and has made several visits to the
United States.
