THE RED CROSS NURSES or EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE"-the toasted cigarette. o.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process Of treating tobacco
not only improves the favor of the tobacco
but it seals IN this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better. Ma n
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that il the frst
thing asked for.

With the poor keeping quality of
corn in this state, oats are being re-
tanned for spring feeding even in the
face of high prices. For Minnesota

to market barley but indications are
that they are not abnormally greater

QUESTIONAIRES TO ALL
FARMERS In COUNTY
Being Sent Out by County Agent to
Get Data Relative to Agricul-
ture

G. w. Nash, county agent for Stew
ems county, is now ION the job" and
that he believes in getting busy at
once" is evidenced by the fact that
he is already mapping out the work
for the year and making plans that
will mean great deal to the farmers.
This week he has sent out ques-
tionaires to every farmer in the
county in order to get information
that will be of vital Importance to
the agricultural work this year. If
every farmer fills out the question
aire and returns it, Mr.. Nash will
be able to tell the exact number of
acres OF corn grown in 1917, the
yield per acre, the amount of seed
corn saved, the amount the farmers
have to sell, the amount the farmers
need, the amount that will be planted
in 1918, all of which is very impor-
tant to assure a good corn crop this
year. He will endeavor to sell any
seed corn that farmers will not need,
and get seed corn for those who
haven't any. Such things as this is
what county agent can do for
community and emphasizes the i'm
portance of the work.
In addition to getting information
about the corn situation, Mr.. Nash
is also asking questions about the
wheat, oats, barley and alfalfa crops,
to find out how many acres Of each
waro grown last wear tho difforonf
kinds of seeds the farmers have to
sell and the amount they may need
to purchase.

Grain Still on Farms

The Bureau of Crop Estimates this
week issued its report on grain still
on the farms March 1, 1918 and the
amount shipped out of the county
where grown.
AS there has been so much specula-
ton relative to the keeping quality
of corn on the farms it is Interesting
to note that the report shows 49,
100000 bus. still on the farms in
Minnesota, March 1, 1918, compared
with 19,162,000 bus. one year ago
and 100000 two years ago.
There was concerted effort made
not only to feed as much soft corn
as possible on account of the poor
keeping quality but to ship cora
to markets where it could be dried
and thus conserved. However, there
was a good deal Of corn of fair keep
ing quality in the southwestern part
of the state. The report for the Uni
ted States is 1,292,9O5,O0 bus. COM
pared with 7S2,3O3,OOO bus. one
year ago and 1,116,559,O0O bus. two
years ago.
The report indicates that there lie
a fair amount of wheat still in farm
ers' hands in this state, the amount
being estimated at 13,912,OO0 bus.
compared with 5,546,000 bus. one
year ago and 19,844,000 bus. two
years ago. This reserve is not be-
cause farmers are holding back
wheat but in past years a good deal
was stored in country elevators
which is not now permissible.
While there is still considerable
corn held in farmers hands, the mer-
charitable quality is low, being only
81 per cent for Minnesota on March
1, this year compared with 76 per
cent last year and IL per cent two
years ago. The report for the I'm.
tied States is for March 1 this year
1913 per cent compared to S3.9 per
cent one year ago and I'll per cent
two years ago.
For the United States it is estim-
ated that on March / this year there

ALBERTA SCHOOL NOTES

A very good basket ball game,
one of the very best of the
season, was played here last
Wednesday evening between the
Norris boys and girls high school
teams and those of Alberta. The
game was strictly up to scientific
rules of the game. 1t contained high
educational value for both sides, the
real object to be accomplished in all
athletics in school. The score was
13 to in favor of Alberta in the
boys game and % to 6 in favor of
Morris in the girls game. The hon.
ors therefore, were evenly divided.
The Morris boys and girls showed
themselves perfect gentlemen and
ladies, quite much like the Cyrus
boys and girls always do. The Morris
school is to be congratulated upon
the correct training it evidently gives
its students. The coaches from
Morris were Mr. O'Connell and Miss
Woodman. Mrs. O'Connell also
accompanied the teams. After the
games the Alberta athletic club en-
tertained the Morris guests in the
home training department of the
teachers manse. This will be the
last game of the season with Morris.
The boys basket ball team jour-
neyed to Beardsley last Friday and
played the boys team there. The re-
suit was a defeat for Alberta. In
coming back the one car would not
work, and SO the players had to re-
turn by train the next day. The
snow storm made the return trip
nearly impossible for the cars.
The Thrift and War Savings
Stamps campaign is on in full force
in the Alberta school. "a baby bond
for every home in the district" is
the watch word this week.
The real patriotism of the Alberta
school is again shown by every boy
and girl in the entire school becom-
ing a member of the Junior Red
Cross voluntarily, paying his or her
own quarter as membership fees. 1t
is the best record in the county so far.
Most members are now busily en-
gagged in knitting or doing some 9TH
er patriotic work to help win this
war. Many members are members of
the various industrial clubs, such as
corn club, pig club, sheep club, gar
den and canning club, bread baking
club. This has been recognized by
the state food administrator, A. D.
Wilson, as the most valuable Junior
Red Cross work, especially by the
boy members of the society.
