RED LAKE VALLEY

Mir. E. E. Oxley, of the Uni versity, met the children of Red Lake on Saturday, March 16, to suggest ways and means for especially good gardens this year. MT. Oxley has charge of childrens gardens in Arizona and has been very active in the, Salt River Valley and so told our boys and girls what was be- ing done down here. The in. spiration and enthusiasm which meetings of this. kind bring are probably as valuable or even more so than the information gained. And there was much information. About eggs which the University was preparing to sell at half price to Club mem bers, where best to get good thoroughbred pigs, what kinds were the best, how to make money via the garden, pig and poultry route, germination tests Babcock testers, etc., etc. MT. Oxley explained the record book to be kept by each child, told of the report cards to be sent in, reading some which he had from Club members in oth- CT parts of the state A num- Der of newspapers are printing these reports and Red Lake children too will soon see them selves in print for the following are going to- join the National Boys and Girls Garden Club: NormanMcLean Burns Mclean Grace Mclean, Joyce Mclean, Prebble Kincannon, Hazel Kin, cannon.
 An organization meeting is planned for the near future, at which others will come into the Club. $
 Itis not possible to praise too highly the value of the work of this kind, it makes of gardening and farming a profession, bring ing intodirect application those things taught at school which so often seem useless or at least lifeless to the boy or girl. Eng fish spelling arithmetic, science all become alive. It teaches the use of system and order and at last but not least adds to the food of the nation and so helps win the war. No boy or girl in Red Lake is a stacker!
 MT. DeLore Nichols, who ac- companied MT. Oxley, supple :, mented and added to the lat ters talk, especially fitting his information to the grown peo- pie present. Before MT. Nich- ols and MT. Oxley left they sug- gested ways and means for an of meetings between and Williams farm CTS and also for the annual bar becue.
 The next meeting of the Red Lake Woman's Club will be held at the school house on Saturday, March 31.

There is no foundation for the alleged violations of law attributed to our Com pany by agents of the Federal Trade Commission and want to say emphatic ally that Swift & Company is not party to any conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment. Nor has Swift & Company been guilty of improperly storing foods or of making false entries or reports.
 Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing felony by acting in collusion on Government bidsl
 We have done our best, with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing offood supplies for the US Army and Navy and the Allies, now be- ing handled through the Food Admins tration.
 We will continue to do our utmost.ur- der Government direction to increase our production and assist the Food Admins tration. We consider that the opportunity 10 CO-CPefatc WnOte-neartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most press ing duty.
 The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference ndmisplaced empha- sis, given to disconnected portions of the correspondence taken from our private files and read into the Record, false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion.
 The services of the packers of the United States are most urgently needed, and regret exceedingly that we should at this time have to spend our efforts in defending ourselves against unfounded, improved, and unfair assertions such as are being daily made public.
