The Pig Club Project.
Feeding period begins Nav first.

IccuiHS peIlOu5 DtSIHS way IlfSI.
Any boy or girl between the ages
OF 10 and f8, inclusive, may become
| a club member. If there are five
or more in the same community, they
should be grouped into regularly or
gained club. This can be made a
standard club by having a local club
leader in charge, having definite
program of work and holding at least
six club meetings, with record of the
meetings. A club charter will be
awarded after requirements are met.
Each club member must agree to
keep a feed record of at least one pig,
narrowed on or after March /, for at
least four months The state contest
closes September 1; so that the win
ming pigs in each county can be ex-
hibited at the State Fair A local con-
test may be conducted later, if desired.
In the northern part of the state,
where it is difficult to obtain early
pigs, the county contest can be started
not later than June / and completed
October 1.
The state contest for market class
pigs will be held in November. Grade
boars are Ineligible. The best grade
VI puIcUIcu Ddff0W Oh grade SOW can
be selected at the time of the county
show.
Each contestant should provide an
eighth of an acre of pasture or cult
waited crop as part feed. Best results
have been obtained by the use of some
pasture crop.
All instructions sent relative to the
care and management of the pig
should be followed carefully and an
accurate account kept of all items of
expense.

Employment of a teacher and nurse

vestigation of the poverty and unsani-
tary conditions under which many
Chinese children live will do much, it

TO- Minnesota's iron deposits ex-
tend over all the state north of
line from Lake Superior to the coun-.
ty. of Rock
IL. The state probably has more
than 100 times the amount of ore
that has thus far been proved up.
II. Iron ore has added S300,000,-
900 to the state tax rolls in the past
25 years; with fair taxation this
amount can be multiplied by two or
three, perhaps more, yielding the
state every year for CENTURIES
more in direct taxation than the adj
vocates of a tonnage tax now declare
that will yield.
13. If a fair taxation prevails the
state will receive, in royalties from
its mines, many times what any tom
mage tax can be made to yield
IA. Fair taxation will make Min
nesota the steel center of the west;
super taxation will lose that great as
set for Minnesota.
Is. The cost of a tonnage tax to
Minnesota will be many times the
amount it's advocates claim it will
benefit the state
16 No matter how much harm
the tonnage tax may do certain locali-
ties, the greatest injury it will work
will be to the state as a whole.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-05-05
No state levies a tonnage tax,

1. No state leyies tonnage tax.
2. Every state that has had ton
mage tax has discarded it as bad pub
lie policy.
3. The popular belief that a ton
mage tax will hit the steel trust" is
utterly untrue It will hit the people
of Minnesota 1t will help the steel
trust"
a. The direct result of the ton
mage tax will be to develop other iron
ore fields that are larger and richer
than the Minnesota deposits.
5. A super tax, no matter what
its form, is tax on industry and pre-
vents development and progress and
is therefore economically unsound.
6. Iron ore now pays the state
higher tax than any other form Of
property in Minnesota.
Z. Every industry that exists in
the state is encouraged-except one,
the iron ore industry. That is pen
allied.
8. If the policy of penalizing the
iron ore industry is not speedily
stopped, iron mines will be driven
out of Minnesota entirely within so
years.
8. If fair taxation prevails Min
nesota's iron mining will last for
more than 1000 years.

THE CANNING OUTLOOK.

Housewives who expect to do home canning this summer may have to do some scouting for rubber rings. The United States Department of Agriculture mentions this shortage among other drawbacks that beset the commercial as well as the home canners. Following is the text of letter received by A. J. Brundage of Connecticut Agricultural College, who has charge of the Boys and Girls Canning Clubs in this state:
 "A review of the canning situation in the country at this time reveals that nearly all the packers are finding it diffi- cult to secure labor and that the cost of the raw produce that will be canned this year will be high in price. This indicates that there will be a great reduction in the amount of commercially canned food and the cost will be higher than in pre- vious years. .
 Last year there were canned in the homes, 1,25o,000,00 cans. This year, the pack should be even greater. have learned from the manufacturers that the jobbers and retailers have not laid in a supply of rubber rings sufficient to meet the canning needs. It may be well to advise club members that rubbeS rings should be secured in advance of the time when the canning is done. It was found that number of the canning club girls could make substantial profit by can ming for the market If canned for the market, the product should be packed in tin or glass and carefully standard ized as to weight and quality. This year offers an exceptional opportunity to starr your club members in the commercial work"

BOYS SHEAR SHEEP

manufacturer who maintains a small flock of sheep on his country es- tate, recently applied to the New Haven County Farm Bureau for an experienced man to shear the flock. When the ex- pert arrived he proved to be a boy about sixteen years old. The job was done satisfactorily.
 This youngster had learned to shea. sheep as a member of the New Haven County Boys and Girls Sheep Club. He is now in demand among owners of docks who find that sheep shearing is not so we'll known an art in New Eng land as once was the case. A good many boys who belong to the sheep clubs are making money this spring at shearing sheep.
 At the shearing contest held by the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association on the farm of Ernest Nettleton near Middletown recently, youngsters but re- gently out of knee pants entered into competition with older men, both with machine and hand shears. They acouit- ted themselves creditably All of these boys own sheep at home
 The Sheen Breeders Association is en- couraging boys to take up sheep raising on the theory that the youngster who re- ceives this training is more likely to re- main on the farm and to become an as set to the state.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS


 producing only cordwood, the most un- profitable product of the forest. Com pared with chestnut, moss other hard wood trees in this state grow slowly and their second growth is valuable mainly for cordwood.
 The big demand is for saw timber Even if the present hardwood stands would produce it Gas most of them vii not, at least 100 years would be re- l quired, according to the forestry depart 1 ment of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. By l that time, if accurate account of costs and interest had been kept, the owners would find that they had played a los 1 ing game. There is, however. solution of the
 problem, Why not convert the present 1 slow growing sprout hardwood stands in-
 or softwood species by planting? There are. at least half a dozen conifers, pines spruces and larch. that. do we'll in Con- necticut. Planted coniferous stands may ], be expected to yield saw timber in 50 years and at the same time pay interest | on the investment comparable to that from other forms of business. 1 The length of time required to groH 1 a timber crop should not be a deterrent 1 If bearing a promising crop of timber land always has greater sale value thar | sprout hardwood land. On the othe, hand, if the owner passes his property on as a heritage to his children the lat ter will reap the benefits of his fore
 sight.
 Every owner of brush land and fores l land that has been cut over recently
 should plant such land to better species
 for by so doing he enhances it's value fo 1 himself, he leaves something of value fo l those who follow him and he helps t, supply the future needs of the public fo saw timber. If advice is needed, tn state forester, at New Haven, may b

FARM BOOKKEEPING"

An increase of nearly fifty per cent Ii the production of each worker in any industry in one years time would be s startling result of the adoption of eff. ciency methods. A dairyman in westerr Connecticut has accomplished such ar increase as the result of the adoption oI simple accounting method designed tc give Q daily report of the production oi each of his workers-lis cows.
 As consequence of changes in tbe makeup and the management of his nerd, resulting from his knowledge :. ot the facts revealed by the accounts; hf sold $202 worth Of butter from each COW in the year ending April l, 1920 instead Of the $151 worth of butter per COW sold the previous year.
 A minor part of tsiis increase was due 1t is true, to 2 slight advance in the price of butter, but most of it resulted from improved business methods In the face of increased costs due to higher prices of labor and supplies, this dairy. man was able to increase his net earn, ings by several hundred dollars by the Intelligent use of accounting.

Except for narrow belt along the Massachusetts and Rhode Island lines where pine grows naturally, Connecticut Is hardwood state.
 A decade ago chestnut grew well throughout the state, became merchant able in about 50 years, and reproduced naturally by sprouts. Its wood had many and diversified uses. Unfortunately the chestnut bark disease has for the present, destroyed the chestnut as tim Der producing tree Whether it will ever be commercially important again is prob lematical and if it does, that time vii be 8 number of generations hence.
