TO L0eeERs AND OTHERS
EXPECTING 70 CUT timber

Plans for operations in the woods
will soon be under way for the COM
ing season. 1t is our desire to work
still more in harmony with the oper-
ators this season than was possible
last year. In order that your work
may not be hampered after logging
has commenced it is advisable that
an early understanding be reached as
to the areas to be cut over and the
methods of brush disposal to be en-
ployed. I wish, therefore, that you
would let me know at the earliest
possible date just what land you
intend to log or let contract for
logging the coming season. 1 will
then be i'm position to look over the
land more thoroughly and in CO.
operation with you decide upon the
best and most economical methods
of brush disposal for each particular
type of timber.
In accordance with the law. notices
setting forth the descriptions of
lands must be conspicuously dis
played at camps where any cutting is
being done.

help TO PREVENT DISEASE #
RUY RED CROSS SEALS

Minnesota women have eagerly re-
sponded to appeals for aid for Bel
gium babies, French babies, Ameri-
can babies-all children of stricken
countries everywhere.
How many realize that America is
a stricken country? How vital their
humanitarian efforts are to the fu-
ture of their nation and their race?
The fact is that more than $4,000
American children die every year
from a preventable and durable dis
ease-tuberculosis, the 'great white
plague. Some of these are Mime
sofa babies.
Officials of the Minnesota Public
Health Association urge citizens in
this and every other community in
the state to help save the babies
and the older folks, too-by invest
ing in Red Cross Christmas Seals.
The $250,0O0 fund to be derived from
the annual seal sale will be used for
the fight against tuberculosis and
other diseases during the coming
year.
Government reports state that
nearly half the child victims of tu-
berculosis succumb to tuberculosis
meningitis. Science has proven that
the disease is not inherited but be-
come victims by infection in early
youth.
Only through educating the public
in health needs, in methods of pre-
venting the spread of disease and
knowledge of remedial measures, can
the health of the community, of the
nation be safeguarded, health ex-
perts emphasized.

County Farm Bureau
Column =
Edited by County Agent

Those of our members who read
the farm papers of the northwest
have no doubt noticed the news of
the organization of the state feder-
alton of county farm bureaus. More
than half of the county farm bur-
eaus of the state have endorsed fed
GRAFTON and others will take action
during the coming months. Men,
bers should study any material
available i'm their farm papers as to
the purpose of state and national
federation. An opportunity for the
discussion of the subject will be af-
forded at meetings to be held dur
ing the coming winter.
The organization of a Minnesota
Potato Growers Exchange is now
under way and will probably be
completed at statewide meeting
proposed to be held in January next.
Michigan has had such an organiza-
tion in successful operation for sew
!eral years and the potato growers
Of that state have reaped the benefit
of higher average prices. Now is
the time for this county to get
ready for affiliation with the state
exchange. This will mean getting
together on varieties to be grown,
treatment of seed for the preven-
tion of disease, and careful grading
Of the product. The Tofte commun-
ity through the recent building of
it's fine potato warehouse and the
installation of grading machinery
has laid the foundation for a busi-
nesslike handling of the work.

Minnesota would not be complete
without the statement that Wyom-
ing, neighboring Western state,
is indulging in similar dreams. One
of it's revenues is state royalty on
oil, and last year over $1,OOO,OOO was
realized from this source, and the
figure is climbing. This, it's opti-

Legislature will be able to keep pace

RED CLOVER SEED
SITUATION OUTLINED

The red clover seed supply is
much better this year than it has
been for two or three years. To OBJ.
tain greater wheat production, the
hay acreage was materially de,
creased, and seed production was eff
fected. In addition, climatic condi.
tions were very unfavorable. This
year, however, with more suitable
weather the clover production i'm the
state is very nearly normal, and
much above normal from the stand
point of quality, says R. C. Dahl.

places in the state is exceptional

section of the Pacific northwest, the
crop is, however, short, being con.

The prices for clover this year
will pobably be at last years level
adds Mr.. Dahlberg. On the basis of
figures in the October Seed Reporter
the seed houses are now paying
farmers an average of about IL
cents pound for country run Of
seed. Carefully recleaned seed OF
high quality is sold by seed com.
panies at about 50 cents a pound
In view Of such existing high prices
the farmer should carefully clear
any supply of clover seed he may
have on hand. and have its quality
determined. In buying, quality
should be known before paying fo1
the seed, since the lower the quality
the lower the price. Glover seed OF
