That big wind-bag proved to be

Half an hour before the time set,
the Slasher pulled something entirely
new on us. In some manner he sue

said he slipped and fell. Anyway, we
had to excuse him.
'The first thing did this morning,
when we got out of range of fire was
to bust him. l stood him up before

MANY SHEEP FOUND ON
STEVENS COUNTY FARMS
Pair Price Being Received This Year
for Wool-New Rules
Made

There are many farmers in Stew
and they all find them money makers.
One of the herds is found on the
farm of A. C. Welfare north of Nor
ris and others on the Max Stevenson
and Ben Winters farms. The
West Central School of Agri-
culture keeps a small number of
sheep. Probably the largest herd in
the county is kept by Mac Davis at
Donnelly. He has nearly $50 sheep
and lambs on his farm just on the
edge of that village.
The regulations for selling and
marketing wool this year are diff
erent than they have ever been but
the price is considered good, most
farmers getting from SIS to So cents.
The wool has to be sent to one of the
distributing centers and graded be-
fore the exact price can be deter
mined.
The cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul have been selected by the Uni
ted States War Industries board as
the distributing center for the wool
to be used in the United States. This
means that the Twin Cities will be-
come one of the largest wool markets
in the United States and will receive
and distribute about 100000
pounds a year.
The commission men and dealers
of the Twin Cities must be licensed
to receive and sell wool. Farmers
are urged to pool their clippings and
different communities should aim to
consign the wool to one dealer, as
prices will be regulated on the diff
erent grades This can be done with
profit to the grower. 1t will save
in cost as we'll as being more con-
venient. The price in different Sec
lions will be SIS to so cents a pound.
Minnesota is one of the great
wool growing states. Wyoming leads
the country with a production of
about 100000 pounds of raw wool
year and about 100000 sheep.
Minnesota's production is about 81
100000 pounds from $4,000 sheep.
Most Of Stevens county farmers have
completed their shearing for this
year, though the work was delayed
on account of cold weather. Gen.
orally, results are satisfactory from
the sheep raisers standpoint, not only
in the size of clip but in lamb prod
uction.

are the price for threshing per bus
shell, the price per day for labor of
those assisting in the work of thresh-
ing, including engine men, separator
men, teamsters and field men.
1t has also been suggested that a
threshermen's committee be appoint
ed and wherever possible a portable
elevator should go with each thresh-
ing machine to save man power in
storing grain in the farmers gran
aries. These things will be brought
up at the meeting.
The matter of the needed number
of men and how to secure them will
also be discussed, and many other
things of interest and to the ad-
vantage of the threshermen and
farmers will be brought up.

With more than 200 prisoners in

because of labor shortage, officials
are urging that some legislative ac-

and helping to meet the increasing
need for workmen.
At present of the 215 prioners in

PENDANTS are awaiting trial at the
