Crop Outlook
Very Encouraging
FIELDS HAVE SELDOM LOOKED
MORE PROMISING AT THIS
TIME OF YEAR.

1t is predicted that Redwood county
is going to have one Of the biggest
yields of small grains, hay and corn
that it has had in several years. Not
Withstanding the fact that corn was
very backward in the early stages of
planting, due to the excessively damp
and cold weather, it now gives every
indication of producing big yield. In
some localities it is reported to have
cared, having attained a growth of
five feet.
Other grains, such as rye, wheat,
oats and barley are all in splendid
condition and are likely to produce
bumper crops If the rainfall is not
too excessive within the next two
weeks, the cutting of small grain will
commence soon. Rye is already ripen-
ing and promises fine yield.
The farmers of this county are also
fortunate this year in their livestock
production, especially in the raising of
hogs. So far this season there has
been very little cholera reported and
this means a big saving to the farmer.
In case this abundant harvest is not
destroyed by hail or storms, the pro-
ducers of Redwood county are going
to have an unusually prosperous year.
This will mean good business all along
the various lines and a loosening up
of the money stringency that has af<
fected the whole northwest.

County Celebrates
independence Day

The independence Day celebration
held by the citizens of Lamberton was
one of the best affairs the neighboring
village has had for many years. It
was conservatively estimated that
several thousand people attended the
celebration The morning program
featured big street parade and in the
afternoon there were interesting
games and sports. The big attraction
was the ball ground where an i'm
mense crowd witnessed double-head-
er game, the Lamberton team being
in the spotlight, playing both Com
frey and Slayton.
There also was a big farmers pic
mic held within two miles of Lamber-
ton. This picnic was also well at
tended. Max Treu, of the Redwood
County Farm Bureau, was one OF the
speakers of the day. Mr.. Treu's sub
iect was the value and Importance OF
cooperation among farmers. This
was listened to very attentively and
warmly applauded by his audience,
Al large number of people from Red
wood Falls and vicinity helped Lam
berton celebrate the day in fitting
manner. Others attended celebrations
at Morgan, Fairfax and Arlington.

One Of the best games of baseball
staged by the Redwood Falls team this
season was held at the fair grounds
Sunday afternoon, when the locals beat
Olivia by a A to score. The crowd
was not only a large one, but the fans
from far and near were in exceeding
ly good humor and enjoyed the game
immensely.
''Tink" Baldwin was on the mound
for Redwood with cole picking them
off the bat. The game from the be-
ginning was a pitchers battle, with
the odds in favor of the home battery.
In the first frame Redwood brought in
three scores, which were sufficient to
put the game on ice for the local team.
s'Tink" was in. fine form and had 6
strike-outs to his credit in the first
three innings. If he had continued the
game at that rate he would have made
dandy record but his team mates
implored him to let Olivia hit the
ball.
Redwood's infield and outfield were
working in perfect unison and the
Olivia batters found it impossible to
pierce the line They made several
rallys, but failed to dust the home
plate for more than one score. Red
wood now has one of the best teams it
has had for years, and its members

local manager, states that the season
was financial success, and the pub
lie as whole is very well pleased

they have guaranteed the sale of six

Tax Collectors Coming.

In this, as in every other section of
the country, there will be conducted
during the next two months an inten-
sive tax drive for the collection of de-
linquent sales and other miscellaneous
taxes, such as the so called luxury
tax, the soft drink tax, the admission
tax, the manufacturers tax, the tax
on jewelry and work of art, the tax
on toilet articles and proprietary med
icines. Reports of laxity on the part
of dealers and other persons respons-
iblesfor the return and collection of
these taxes have reached the Bureau
of Internal Revenue from many sour
ces.
To remedy this condition, Commits
sioner William M. Williams has as
signed to the work of investigation It's
special revenue officers. These men
will compose flying squadrons which
will visit every large city in the Unit
ed States, cooperating with assistant
supervisors and field deputies. The
total force numbers 1000.

Farm Bureau
Not In Politics
PRES. ALLEN RESIGNS BECAUSE
OF MISUNDERSTANDING FOL-
LOWING PRIMARIES.

S. L. Allen, Winnebago, president
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton since it was organized, re-
signed at special meeting of the
board of directors held last week at
University Farm, ST. Paul. Mr.. Allen
quit to relieve the organization of
any embarrassment that might result
from his recent political activities.
As a purely personal matter, he had
made several speeches in favor of j.
A. O. Preus, and despite his efforts to
prevent such an impression, a report
was current over the state that in so
doing he was representing the State
Farm Bureau.
Victor Holmquist, Hallock, vice
president, will serve as the federation
executive until new president is ap-
pointed.
In accepting Mr.. Aliens resignation,
the board made it plain that the
federation must continue as nom
political organization. Mr.. Aliens
action was strictly personal affair,
and did not meet with the approval of
the Farm Bureau Executive Commit
tee.
The board accepted Mr.. Aliens res
ignation, only after the whole propo-
sition had been discussed at length
and no other course seemed advisable.
"The resignation, said Mr.. French.
"must not be construed as having the
slightest political significance. 1t was
necessary to keep the record straight
and it sets precedent that should
be of great value to the movement in
the future. This organization could
not make progress if it became en-
broiled in every political campaign
that comes up. We have a distinct
mission, and that is to look after the
business affairs of our farmers as a
body. Our first big task is to mater
tally increase the membership, and
if we are to do what is before us, we
must have the support of every farm
er, regardless of his political or re-
ligious affiliation.

political organization. A membership
in this organization does not in any
way interfere with the members po-

Bureau Holds Picnic

The annual joint picnic of the Red
wood County Farm Bureau and the
rural schools of Redwood County was
held in the beautiful grove or the j.
j. Troske Farm, near Wabasso last
Thursday. Arrangements for the Gay
were made by County Agent Max
Treu and County Superintendent Mrs.
VIM. Duncan.
Dean Thatcher of the State Agricul-
tural school was among speakers and
his address greatly pleased the audi
ence. Because of unsettled weather
conditions and the fact that the pic
mic had been postponed from the date
first set the attendance was not ex-
tremely large, but the occasion was
most pleasant one for all who did
attend.

State Fuel Chief
Urges Coal Needs
MCGEE GOING TO WASHINGTON
TO CONFER WITH COMMERCE
COMMISSION CHAIRMAN.

j. F. McGee, newly appointed state
fuel commissioner, will leave tonight
for Washington to confer with Chair
man E. E. Clark of the interstate COM
naerce commission in an effort to Sc
cure preference orders for lake coal
shipments, he announced today.
Mr.. McGee reported that the situa-
tion remains unchanged here. Coal
arrivals at Lake Superior ports have
increased in the last two weeks, but
the increase has been slight and fails
by large margin, to assure this ter
ritory of coal supply for the coming
winter. Latest reports show that the
docks are now 4,180,000 tons behind
1918, and 5,600,000 tons behind 1919
Approximately 100000 tons must
be delivered to the northwest during
the next four months in order to pre-
vent a coal famine before spring, ac-
cording to estimates by the coal COM
mittee of the Civic and Commerce as
sociation.
Coordination of efforts of all state
and municipal officials, civic organi-
cations and businessmen in the north
west who are working to secure this
supply is the plan of the state railroad
and warehouse commission at the gen
eral conference called by Ira B. Mills,
chairman, at the state capitol at 9 p.
m., Wednesday. Congressman, whcie-
sale and retail coal dealers, traffic ex-
perts, state and municipal officials and
representatives of civic organizations
have been invited to attend.
0. p. B. jacobson, state railroad and
warehouse commissioner, who has
been in conference with the interstate
commerce commission during the past
10 days, will return to submit the la
test developments in the situation to
the conference, Mr. Mills said The
meeting was called upon recommends
ton of Mr. jacobson, who wired the
commission here that priority orders
for this territory are not in sight and
the situation remains" very serious" "
Mr. Jacobson has been working while
in Washington with Senator Knute
Nelson and Frank B. Kellog, and w.
FL. Groyerman, secretary of the North
west Coal Dock Operators associa-
ton. He visited the lake ports, max
ing a survey of the supply, en- route
to the capital.
State commissioners, coal dealers
and others working on the problem
view with alarm increasing exports of
coal to other countries. If other relief
is not granted, an effort will be made
to stop the use of cars for hauling
this coal, they said During May l.
942,00a tons were exported, the larg-
est alaount in any one month since
October, 1919. In April and May g.
845 900 tons were exported or $4,000
tons more than has been dumped at
Lake Erie ports during the entire sea-
son. This rate of export continued
during June, according to word from
Washington, but figures are not yet
available Minneapolis Journal.

nation to share their opportunities to
make others happy, and to teach each
to find the secret of happiness for
himself. A part Of the training is 10
help the boys and girls to see the Suf-
fering and sorrows of humanity and
to assist in relieving them. Redwood
County has done wonderful Red
Cross work in the public schools, un-
der the leadership of Adella G. Dun
can, superintendent Of the county
schools, and the able teaching corps
Of the county. This work, so we'll be-
gun, will now be carried on under the
direction OF Mr.. Lukens.
Disaster Relief.
1t is the intention of the County Red
Cross to be ready at all times to af-
ford relief to striken community.
There is valuable lesson to be learn
ed from the dreadful tornadoes which
have visited many of the surrounding
sections of the state. Newspaper re-
ports have told how these communi-
ties have met much of their own need
by having ready workers trained in
first aid and unselfish service. A few
years ago such self reliance would
have been impossible. In the Redwood
County Chapter there is a Disaster
Committee ready to call out efficient
workers in case Of need.
Life Saving.
1t is expedient that people residing
near swimming holes, bathing beachs,
| reSuscitating drowning persons. Be
I Igg-,.1-i
! will be visited by life saving expert
who viii give demon tratiOns along
these lines. Bathing places each year
claim toll Of many thousands Of peo-
/ pie, and in order that Redwood Coun-
/ ty may not have to meet this toll the
towns of the county will he given a
/ generous part Of the services Of this
! expert.
Public School Nursing.
1 Another feature Of the Red Cross
program is the carrying on Of the
public school nursing-a work which
was started by the Red Cross Chapter
! last year, and which met With very eX-
cellent success. This work has to do
not only with the correcting and
checking OF disease tendencies in chill
! dren of school age, bat also aims to
instruct parents and others in the
warding off Of diseases Of various ma
| lures.
If there is, in Redwood County. a
person who holds the antiquated idea
! that Red Cross work ceased with the
declaration of peace, it is time this
person aroused himself to look about
and see the ever increasing necessity
of just such work as the County Chap
ter has elected to carry on under the
| guidance of Mr. Lukens. The big ideal
of every true worker in the Chapter is
SERVICE-not the handing out of
funds, food or clothing, but the big
ger service which fosters indepen-
dence in those served and which makes
it possible and practicable to give rea-
dy assistance when necessary. The
keynote of the splendid program is the
spreading of the spirit of helpfulness
and foresight. To this end The County
Chapter, through its leaders, is ask
ing the generous cooperation of every
man, woman and child in the County.

cation has engaged Leo Dahms, of
Morgan to take the position formerly
held by Max Treu in the agriculture
department of the high school. Mr..
Dahms comes highly recommended
having recently had charge of the
agricultural department at Aitkin,
Mimi. He is a young man of marked
ability and no doubt will keep this
department up to the splendid stand
ard it maintained under the supervi-
sion of Mr.. Treu.
