long, he can move along at the rate
of about three kilometers, or 1B
miles per hour. The barges are all
heavily built, stem and stern model,
with a rudder running back far
enough to remind me of the old John
B. Horton. You remember her, don't
you?
mot only is this great country,
but it's people are a wonderful peo-
pie, also. 1t is most pitiful to pass
along the streets and see the num-
Der of cripples and others returned
home to recuperate.
"And widows. l have never fully
realized until lately that this war
was making so many widows, but it
is fact that considerably over so
per cent. of the women folk / meet
on the streets, in the stores or mark
cts are widows, and wearing war
widows distinguishing mark on their
hat or sleeve.
"They have great many German
prisoners here who are of great as
sistance to the farmers, as all are
employed in helping produce food,
and their work is reported as fairly
good. And besides, girl IA to Is
years old, with an old rifle, is all the
guard required for ten or twelve of
them in the fields. There is no to-
bacco in France-that is for the
French people-and it appears that
these cripples oil crave tobacco, and
fellow cannot help but give it to
them, either tobacco or cigarettes.
WANTED TOBACCO FOR FATHER.
1.-THE other day as the men came
in from fatigue call l noticed very
nice-looking little fellow, six or seven
years old, with basket on his arm,
trotting along beside them, and when
he halted at the gate the interpreter
told me he was trying to trade the
apples he had in the basket for
smoking tobacco, so tried to buy
the apples for cash, but he would
not sell them at any price. He want
ed tobacco. So went to my locker
trunk and took out two sacks of Bull
Durham, a package of Fatimas and
some papers and gave them to him.
Before doing so, however, found
that his father was Of a very re-
spectacle family and in good circum-
stances, but was a Sergeant and had
lost leg and one hand short time
before, or, in fact, had just been sent
back to his home, and 1t was the
father the tobacco was for. He was
certainly happy little fellow when
/ gave him the tobacco, and i will
never forget the expression of Joy
that shot across his face as i handed
it to him. saw him on the street
this afternoon and he recognized me
also pointed me out to someone
with him, possibly his mother or an
aunt.
About. the most familiar sight
along this river is tho old sycamore,
just the Same sturdy old fellows as
we have on Green River, and yet
they have nearly all been planted
and look pretty, spaced as they are.
ooh, yes! l see good many bird
dogs here hut have seen only two
birds-they appeared to be larger
than ours. OF course, we cannot tell
much about this war, but the con-
sensus of opinion is that the Ger
mans are hitting their dying stroke
and that all will be over in few
months-twelve months at the out
side, as it will take at least that long
for Uncle Sam to get to work"

County Membership Campaign

The executive committee of the
Farm Bureau at their meeting on
Nov. 10th, decided to stage the mem
bership campaign Dec. End to 7th as
requested by the government. This
campaign is to be carried on by town
ships. The township committeeman,
in conjunction with the executive
officer, if there is such in his town
ship, is to choose the solicitors and
have charge of the campaign in his
township.
The solicitors are to call on the
Farm Bureau members as we'll as on
the non-members. A membership
card is to be posted at each Farm
Bureau members place and one given
to each new member.
There are now 296 members. 500
membership cards have been ordered.
Allowing one for each present mem
Der an average of thirteen new mem
bers per township will have to be
secured to use up the cards. An
effort should be made to get twenty
new members in every township in
the county.

Labor Office Consolidated

The State Labor office maintained
by the State Safety Commission, at
101 Second Street South, Minneapolis,
for the past year and a half, has been
consolidated with the U. S. Employ
ment Service with an office in Mime
apolis. The understanding is that
the Public Safety Commission will
retain control of the Farm Labor
Department for the state with an
experienced man in charge.
The work of his Office on the part
of the Safety Commission has been of
material assistance in solving the
farm labor problems for the agri-
cultural classes of the state. Thous-
ands of men have been placed in
good positions and hundreds of en-
Urgency calls from farmers for help
have been filled, all of which has
resulted in the saving of thousands
, of dollars worth of grain and pro-
duce. The true value Of the Com
missions labor Office in this respect
cannot be overestimated.

having passed through the digestive
tract. Curled dock, very common
farm weed, terminated only four
per cent in it's natural condition. A
quantity of this seed was fed to a
cow, and 100 such seeds were placed
in a germinator. Ninety-eight out
Of the one hundred grew. The same
is true to some extent of lambs
quarters, often known as pigweed.
The seed of this weed terminated 81
per cent before feeding, 88 per cent
after feeding. The termination of
quack grass seemingly was not much
affected, as a termination of IS per
cent was secured before feeding,
and 80 per cent after feeding. The
viability of Canada thistle seed was
decreased to some extent, but enough
seed remained to infest field.
In view of the foregoing figures,
the farmer should be very careful in
the use of screenings. They should
either be ground to the very finest
possible condition, so as to crush all
weed seeds, or else they should be
fed to such animals as sheep, which
grind up and thoroughly destroy the
ordinary weed seeds.-R. c. Dahl

Minnesota to Supply Other States

North Dakota will suffer from a
serious seed corn shortage next
spring, according to a statement re-
ceived from the director of the North
Dakota experiment station, Fargo, by
Andrew Boss of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station.
Early frosts caught the corn in the
northern part of North Dakota and
even in the southern counties, and
very little corn was gathered for
seed before the frost.
North Dakota, therefore, appeals
to Minnesota and South Dakota to
save sufficient supplies in order that
North Dakota may be able to get
additional stock next spring.
The fact is, Minnesota was very
fortunate in its seed corn drive of
early September, in which an effort
was made to select enough seed for
next spring and the spring follow
ing. Calls like that from North

Rodents Cause $2oo,ooo,oOo Loss

The county is confronted at this
time with the great necessity of saw
ing food. Along the line Of food con-
servation, and a most important
factor in that work, is the fact that
wherever possible rats and mice,
which consume an incredible amount
of grain and stored food products,
be destroyed. It is conservatively
estimated that rats and mice cause
an annual loss in the United States
alone of 100000, 1000. This waste
can be, in large measure, stopped;
first, by building against" rats and
mice Ii. e. making buildings rat
proof) and secondly, by trapping and
poisoning. Citizens should, in every
way possible, keep all attractive food
