Hog Cholera Warning

The Veterinary Division of the
Minnesota Agricultural College has
issued a warming to be on the look
out for cholera in 1917. With war
conditions demanding that every en-
terprise for food production be main
tained at its maximum efficiency, it
is dOubly important that cholera be
kept from gaining fOOthOld in any
locality Most of the farm bureaus
have developed means for handling
outbreaks promptly and vigorously.
1t is not too early for every county
to satisfy itself that methods of re-
porting outbreaks, maintenance of
serum depots, veterinary cooperation,
methods of feeding and care, are all
so we'll organized that effective con-
troll measures can be rigidly applied.
During August, September and
October, 1916, a considerable amount
of serum was sent to points much
scattered within a section of the
state which may be described as
bordered on the North by Stevens
county, and extending about three
counties wide to the southern part
of the state, thence east to Fillmore,
along the southern portion of the
state. This southern strip extends
north to about Scott county.

GETTING READY TO USE
POWER OF STATE IN WAR
Plan Used Here is Model for Other
States Farm Labor Problem
to Be Solved

Rapid progress has been made
during the last few days by the peo-
pie of Minnesota in solving the many
local problems connected with steps
being taken to prepare for the war
by getting ready to use the power of
the state to the best advantage.
The North Star State is we'll to
the forefront among it's sister states
and it is thought Minnesota's plan
will be followed in many parts Of
the Union.
The women of the state will be
brought into complete harmony with
the efforts of the Safety Commission
so that their work, recognized as
among the most important, can have
the fullest scope and produce the
greatest results. Under the direction
of Mrs. T. G. Winter Of Minneapolis,
an organization will be perfected
which will reach into every part Of
Minnesota.
County directors appointed by the
Commission of Public Safety are busy
systematizing the work in their re-
spective counties so that there may
be the least possible waste of effort
and that every citizen, man, woman
and child may do their bit in the

On Monday afternoon, at the Com

PATRIOTISM EVIDENT AS
NEW FLAG IS RAISED
Patriotic Songs Sung and Patriotic
Address Made by Prof. Miller
at City Flag Raising

In spite of the threatening wealth
er, large crowd assembled on the
lawn at Grove Park Tuesday evening
to fittingly celebrate the flag raising
of the new flag on the new staff both
of which were donated by the patri-
otic citizens of NORRIS.
When so many flags were being
f1oated about town a short time ago
someone suggested that we ought
to have city flag flying from city
flag staff, as President Adams of the
Commercial Club explained at the
exercises Tuesday evening. The sug-
gestion was no sooner made than
Commander Amos Pushor, of Over
ton Post, G. A. R., started around
with a subscription list and soon had
ample funds for the new flag and
new staff.
The band rendered patriotic airs,
the girls glee club of the high school
led in the singing of patriotic songs,
and all we're stirred as the beauti-
full national emblem was slowly
raised to the top of the staff where
passing breeze caught it and spread
out it's folds in thrilling splendor.
Supt. P E. Miller made a short
but eloquent address of why the city
was raising this f1ag-to show our
devotion to the principles which the
flag stands for. 1t had stood for lib
erty in rs, and 1912, in 81 and '98,
and today the United States was
again engaged in a war involving
those same principles of liberty, and
he hoped that when this war is fin
ished, there will be a greater mea-
sure of liberty not only for ourselves
and our allies, but also for the peO-
pies of the nations with which we
are at war. The United States is
in no war of conquest, but true to
it's traditions is fighting only for
freedom. The address was most en-
Enthusiastically received as voicing the
sentiments of all.
The exercises we're closed with
the salute to the flag, a recitation on
'"The Flag is Passing By" by some
of the grade pupils and the singing
of other patriotic songs.
The flag which was raised was one
borrowed for the occasion. A much
| larger one has been ordered, but the
flag makers are so rushed that it
could not be obtained in time for
be used as soon as it arrives.

W. G.. Smith, of Bureau of Soils, and
F. A. McMiller, of University,
Start Work at Once
WILL TAKE ALL SUMMER
Every Piece of Land in the County
Will Be Visited, and Soil and
Subsoil Tested

A complete soil survey Of Stevens
county is to be made this summer,
and w. G.. Smith, Of the Bureau of
Soils, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, and F. A McMiller, of the
Division of Soils, Minnesota Expert
ment Station, are already here ready
to begin work. DR.. Away, head of
the Division Of Soils of the Minnesota
Experiment Station, is expected here
this week while plans for the sur
yey are being made. Superinten-
dent P E. Miller, of the local agri-
cultural school. will also be connect
ed with the survey in an advisory
capacity.
Complete soil surveys are very
much desired by the leaders in agri-
cultural experimentation and devel-
Opment, and this county is most for
tunate in having secured a survey
here. Surveys have already been made
in typical counties like Pennington,
Anoka, Ramsey, GoOdhue and parts
of Carleton, Rice and Lyon, and this
county has been selected as typical
of West Central Minnesota until de-
tailed surveys can be made of every
county of the state.
When interviewed at the La Grand
hotel, Mr.. Smith stated that the work
would probably take all summer, and
they may not finish before frost. At
least every quarter section in the
county will be visited, and in some
places several sOundings will be made
to each quarter. Both the top soil
and the subsOiI will be sounded with
an augur to a depth of three feet,
and the deeper substrata will also
be studied wherever possible, espe-
cially to determine it's relation to
subsoil drainage. 1t is expected that
a dozen or more recognized types of
soil will be found in this county in
various combinations, and the lOca-
ton of these different soils will all
be carefully plated, and soil map
of the county published by the gov
ernment and available for general
distribution.
Those who heard DR.. Always lee
ture at the Farm School Short Course
last winter will recall the practical
benefits of such a survey which he
pointed out. The soil survey gives
to the farmer accurate knowledge of
the element with which he is work
ing, and gives to the experimenter
the exact data necessary for the sue
cessful solution of crop problems OF
all kinds. When once the physical
and chemical characteristics of GER
tain soils are known, the experiment
er can announce with certainty sue
cess or failure with that soil when
used for certain purposes. The sol
survey is fundamental to those ex,
periments is scientific agriculture
which finally result in large increases
in the soils productive power by g
proper utilization of the elements
found therein.
