CALVES BECOME VERY ANNOYING

Many times the residents of Front

bawling of calves kept in a pen under

of a steamboat for shipment to mar

of small calves were put in the pens
there and kept until yesterday. They
kept up a continuous bawl and the

that we are far more patriotic, far

time of the first Red Cross campaign.

Still, in our city we have attained
certain degree of efficiency, without
the drawbacks accompanying the eff

the time of the first Red Cross cam
paign, we called together a group of
about one hundred and fifty of our
Invest wires, almost entirely from the
membership of the Chamber of Com
merce. An executive committee was
appointed. Ten team captains were
chosen. These captains in turn Sc
fected five men for eac hteam. De-
finite territories were allotted each
team. Our quota was $4,000. We
raised over $4,000 in two days cam
paigning.
For the Y. NJ. c. A. campaign, the
same men were called together. The
teams were enlarged to ten men eacn.
Our quota was 10000 We raised SIP
450-twice as good as the country as
a whole, despite the fact that we did
not have the moral effect of a local

was unanimously voted to make the

canvass under and around my machine
in order that may make thorough
grain-saving cleanup after each move.
5. I will insist on careful feeding
of the bundles (sheaves) to the ma
chine and supervise my pitchers as
much as possible so that they will
avoid unnecessary shattering.
6. I will keep my engine in such
condition that it will deliver the
necessary power to keep the cylinders
moving at the speed required by the
manufacturers.
z. I will advise the raking of
shock rows so that no grain is left
in the fields by the bundle wagons.
8. I will encourage the use of tight
bottom bundle racks so that grain will
not not shatter and be lost when it
is hauled to tn emachine.
9. I will encourage the saving Of
grain, and If any wastage occurs
which should be prevented, will APP
peal to the County Threshing Com
mittee, in cases where cannot adjust
the matter myself.
1t should be understood however, by
all threshing machine owners that the
signing of this pledge card in which
he promises to live up to as far as pos
sible the above nine sections; that it
is simply an appeal made by the Unit
ed States Food Administration to his
patriotism. No threshing machine
owner will be compelled to sign this
pledge card. In brief so far as the
county board which in all counties is
composed of the County Food Admin
istrator County Agent and the thresh-
ing machine inspector appointed by
the first two members of the board
has as yet been, instructed the only
government requirement which is
absolutely necessary for machine own
ers to abide by according to law is
that of reporting wheat threshed
monthly and other cereals at the end
of the season. All necessary instruc-
tons in keeping these records will be
furnished in the report books VIII
will be mailed to, machine operators
before the opening of the season.
There also seems to be a misunder-
standing as to the governments set
ting prices which machine owners will
have to charge for threshing. 1t
should be clearly understood by all
farmers and threshing machine own
ers that the government has in no way
dictated prices to any state or district.
Whatever prices are charged for
threshing this fall will be prices set
by the threshing machine owners
themselves the same as in years pass

There appears to be at the present

There appears to be at the present
time considerable misunderstanding
between threshing machine owners
and farmers of this coutny as to what
the governments supervision over
threshing operations during the COM
ing fall will consist of. Some thresh-
ing machine owners have gained the
impression that they will not be al
lowed to start their machines this fall
until they have received permission
or certificate from threshing ma
chine inspector who will be appointed
in the county. This is a mistaken idea
as all machines will be allowed to
start operation whenever their SER
vices are desired the same as in years
passed. The only government regula-
tion required Of threshermen which
has reached our office at this date is
covered by Section two Of an act of
Congress (public number 40, IS Con-
gress) approved by the president and
secretary of agriculture. This act in
brief requires all threshing machine
owners who plan on operating ma
chimes during the coming season to
report monthly to the office of the
county agent the number of bushels
of wheat threshed during the month.
These reports on wheat must be mail
ed by all machines operating in
Stearns county this fall to P. w.
Huntemer Melrose, MINI. The report
on cereals other than wheat threshed
during the coming season must be
sent in at the end of the season. Re-
cord books for keeping these accounts
and report blanks for reporting at
the end of the month the amount of
wheat threshed during the month will
be mailed out to all threshing ma
chine owners as soon as the supply is
received from the head office of the
Grain Threshing Division which is To-
Gated at AZ Broadway, New York City.
All threshing machine owners will be
requested by the United States Food
Administration to sign the Grain
Thresherman Pledge cards which will
be mailed out from the state office.
When a thresherman signs this pledge
card he is pledging himself tn the TO
lowing:
1. I will do my best to properly
repair my machine so that it can be
adjusted to save grain.
2. I will encourage the threshing
of grain only when it is dry and ripe,
unless greater loss will be incurred
by waiting.
8. / will discourage the tendency
to RUSH threshing operations beyond
the capacity of my machine.
4. If possible I will use a large
