Labor

The Farm Bureau Office has been
working with the secretary of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
in securing information from the
farmers of the county concerning
fair wages for farm labor. Fifteen
replies have been received from in
quiries sent to IS farmers. This in
formation has been compiled and sent
to the secretary who will use this
with information secured from other
counties in determining fair wages
for farm labor.
During the past three weeks it has
been impossible to place more than
one or two of the Is or 20 men who
have called at the Farm Bureau office
for work. There is bound to be a
great shortage of labor later on and
it is too bad not to keep some of
these men in the county. 1t may be
possible that some of the farmers
wanting help have not made their
wants known at the Farm Bureau
office.
The Minneapolis Board of Educa-
ton has sent out a letter stating that
they have 300 boys who can be
placed on farms after June 18th.
These boys have had some training
along agricultural lines and are am
bilious and anxious to learn. Any
one wishing to secure any Of this
help should apply at the Farm
Bureau Office.
Another source of securing help is
through the employment agencies in
Minneapolis and st. Paul. 1t is
necessary to advance the fare and the
mans baggage will be sent direct to
you to insure his arrival. While
this method has not proven salts
factory in all cases, there are many
instances where good men have been
secured

Call for Ho1steins

Since the first of the year a number
of inquiries have been received at the
Farm Bureau Office as to where Hol-
stein heifers and COWS can be pur-
chased. Due to the fact that we have
to go outside of the county for such
cattle and that it is more economical
and satisfactory to buy cattle in car
load lots, an effort is being made by
the Farm Bureau Office to obtain a
list of all parties wishing to purchase
stock If possible, arrangements will
be made for these buyers to go in
parties to see the stock before buy
ing.
One prospective buyer who wants
10 or IL head would like to go on a
trip of inspection the last week in
June. If there are any others who
could go at that time, arrangements
could no doubt be made if the Farm
Bureau office is notified. Still an
other buyer plans to go to Jefferson
County, Wisconsin, county famous
for Holsteins, after threshing this
fall and it would probably be posi-
BILE to arrange another party for that
time
Morris tribune., 1920-06-18
The farmers reply follows:

WI. y. !. jules.
Dear Sir-We appreciate your
kind reply to our ad in the Sun, but
are afraid you are not progressive
enough to be considered a candidate
for job on this farm. This is an
up-to-date place. Candidates for
jobs here always arrive by airpIane.
Your offer to come up by railroad
train shows you are in the Rip Van
Wrinkle class We have no use for
anyone twenty years behind the
times.
"As to an eigft-hour day, we long
ago discarded such oId-fashioned
methods. We run on the houTIess,
wireless system. There are no hours
for work at all. Everything is hour
less and wireless. An operator de-
votes a few seconds to the Utterance
Of a thought. The mere opening Of
his mouth starts disturbance in the
air that sets the wireless forces In
motion. There are the in
visible, Irresistible air waves and we
have results. Under this system we
do not pay by the week or the month.
We pay a fixed rate per thought.
Your valufng your services at so alb
surdly low a figure as $40 per week
indicates you are not skilled labor
not skilled enough to achieve q
thought.
GAS to our COWS, they are all
graduates from a college for the
higher education of COWS and do not
have to be MIXED. No horses are to
be hooked up here and we are even
getting beyond the age Of tractors.
Morris tribune., 1920-06-18

Airplanes are quicker and quite as
efficient.
''It is extremely painful to us to
have anyone think we could be guilty
of owning anything so out Of date as
an automobile. We keep<a fleet Of
limousine planes with expert pilots
and mechanicians awaiting the pleas
ure Of all employees of this ultra up
to-date farm. Our stenographer is
away at the moment on a little re-
search jaunt to the North Pole, re-
searching comparative temperatures
that we may decide whether to make
hay on the Fourth Of July or wait
until the fifth. It is due to this that
/ must ask you to pardon this scrawl,
the stenographer having taken our
typewriter along with him.
"Now, if you are disposed to wake
up and care to honor us with visit
by plane 1--WE insist on your coming
this way, so as not to destroy the
morale of our force, one man)-you
may be able to demonstrate thought
that might lead to business.
"Thanking you for hoping we may
be able to secure your valuable serv-
ices-you say they are valuable, and,
Of course, you should know-yours
very truly.

ture last year was such a success
that it will be repeated this year.
The date has not been definitely set,
but it is planned now to hold it
about the middle of July. All Farm
Bureau members and their families
and friends are invited to come and
make this a great day.
The experimental plots and stock
will be inspected and a good program
of speaking is being arranged for by
Supt. P. e. Miller. The special topic
on the program will be the Dab
cock Amendment" This will give a
good opportunity to get accurate in
formation on this important topic.

pared for a good time.

Wool Marketing

A large number of the county
farm bureaus of the state are organ
izing county wool growers associ-
ations for the purpose of marketing
the wool comparatively. Such an as
ISOLATION would be organized in this
county but for the strong association
which now exists at Hancock. This
association has been in operation at
least seven years and the present
secretary, A. Overstad, says that for
the past three years that he has been
secretary, the association has secured
on the average five or six cents a
pound more than the local market
price.
In the spring they ask the prin-
cipal wool buying firms for sealed
bids on wool in three grades, No. 1,
western fine and rejects. A date is
set for the wool to be delivered and
a card notice of the date the wool
will be taken at Hancock and the
prices offered for each grade is sent
to all the previous patrons. A con-
siderable number of farmers outside
VI LuS ,11dISOCh AN'
brought their wool there.
Inasmuch as this association is
we'll established and we'll known
among the buyers, it is thought in
advisable to organize another associ-
alton in the county but rather tc
advertise the present association sc
that a larger share Of the wool Of
the county will be sold through it
Anyone in the county with 100 lbs. Of
more of wool would find it worth
while to haul the wool to Hancock
Wool growers on a small scale coulC
combine in a neighborhood and maxi
the hauling less expensive. The WOO
is graded and paid for the day it i
brought in.
AS soon as the Hancock Associa
ton decides on the marketing day
we will do what we can to advertis
the matter throughout the county
A list of sheep owners has been Sc
cured from the 1919 assessors rec
ords and each Of these will be sen
a notice of the marketing day. TIL
date usually occurs during the las
week in June or as soon as the woo
is all sheared.

Sow Thistle

County agents in southern and
central Minnesota have been warned
to extend every effort to help extermi-
nate the SOW thistle, which is now
so bad in northwestern Minnesota
and threatens to overrun the state
Stevens county is among the coun-
ties having patches Of SOW thistle.
Efforts will be made to acquaint the
farmers with the weed by distribute
ing posters with cuts of the weed,
and, if possible, having growing spe-
cimens in the banks of the county.
Once established, the thistle gives
no quarter. 1t smothers the crop on
entire fields. Now is the time to
wage war against this weed. Action
now will be effective.

Save Eggs for Next Winter

Now is a good time to put down
eggs for winter. The eggs are OF
better quality than later in the sea-
son and the present prices are about
as low as can be expected during this
period of high quality. Eggs will no
doubt be much higher in price next
winter than now and it will pay to
preserve some. Water glass and lime
water have proven to be good pre-
servatives. A five-gallon jar will
serve for preserving IS dozen eggs,
Morris tribune., 1920-06-18

enough to supply an average family
during the winter months.
The water glass method provides
that the water shall be boiled and
then cooled before the water glass,
sodium silicate, is added. Fresh and
clean eggs should be used and they
should be covered at least two inches
with the water glass solution. The
crock should be left in a cool dry
place.
The lime water method calls for
the use of unslacked lime and water.
After the lime has settled and the
liquid is clean, it can be used the
same as water glass. This method is
recommended when water glass can
not be obtained.

FREIGHT Rates

Mr.. Thorne, who represented the
Corn Belt Meat Producers Associa-
ton for several years in their fight
for just freight rates for cattle, has.
been secured by the American Farm
Bureau Federation to represent the
farm interests at rate hearings to
see that freight rates on farm pro-
ducts are not unfairly raised. At
such hearings the greatest increase
ON freight rates are made where
there is the least protest and repre-
sentative, such as Mr.. Thorne, will
no doubt be worth much to the farm
ers in securing fair rates.

formed into the American playground
during the Elks convention July 5
to 10.
Preparations for the invasion of
forward rapidly by all business inter.
ests in Chicago, and the committee
in charge of celebration plans have
completed a program of entertainment
that rivals those of ancient Rome.
The incoming Elks will be dazzled
by the lanes of purple and white, by
the blare of score of bands and by
the sheet lightning electrical display
that will set Michigan boulevard
ablaze.
In the Loop" district alone there
will be ten thousand posters of wei.
come scattering the sky.scrapers. The
fronts of buildings will be swathed
in purple and white, the Elks colors,
and confetti and streamers of purple
and white will sprinkle the Loop from
airplanes at midday.
The program of entertainment GOV.
ers everything from Olympic games
to world championship contests of
cowboy sports.
Many of the American athletes
who will compete for world champion
ship in the Olympic games at Ant.
werp, Belgium, this year will have
their tryout July with the opening
of the Elks Grand Lodge Convention.
Practically every event included in
the games will be staged. The meet
will be larger than any ever before
attempted in America.
District try.outs will be held
throughout the city prior to the big
meet and winners will take part in
the championship events July 8. The
winners at these championship trials
will be eligible to the Olympic games
in August. Boy try.outs and cham
pionship events will be sponsored by
the Amateur Athletic Union, Of which
Col. John V. Clinnin is president OF
the central district.
A great wild west shUw-direct
from the far west and embracing more
elaborate features than any ever ex'
hibited before-will make the down
town district resound with Indian
yells, and will serve as bright side
light to the main program. Prizes OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 will go to the
winners in pony racing, roping, tying
and rife and revolver shooting.
The gala week will bring forth ar

All the ornamental poles that carry
their myriad lights will be draped in
Elks colors. There will be a pylon
forty feet high at each street inter.
section surmounted by American and
Elks flags intertwined. There will be
electric fountains on the lake front
that will flare up like sparks from a
beaten bonfire
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will be spent by the big stores of
State street to transform the fronts
of their imposing structures into
quaint and foreign effects. The en-
trance to each store and shop will be
a replica of some well known historic
spot. For instance. to buy haberdash-
cry one may enter an ancient French
cathedral, or TO buy lingerie, milady
may pass solemnly through the SOM

thousand years ago.
