/ want to call the attention of the
different teachers and their pupils to
the County School Meet which is to be
held at Somerville, Tennessee, on April
29th. This meet has been arranged for
the different schools of the county for
purpose Of bringing them together at
some central point where they might
come in contact with the other young
people of the county and know each
other better A program has been
worked out along the lines of literary
and athletic attainment and covers the
grades ranging from the fifth grade
through the tenth. This program COW
ers spelling ready writing, and the
usual stunts that are carried forward
on the play grounds as sports for the
young people.
1t has been suggested that each
school bring dinner sufficient for the
members of the school and at the noon
hour the schools can spread their lunch
in the way and manner best pleasing to
themselves.
The program is not as elaborate as
we hope to make it another year. but
owing to the lateness of making the
start and due to the fact that several
of the schools have disbanded for the
summer, we have made program that
will serve as start and we hope for
much improvement another yesr.
Plans have been laid whereby absolute
fairness may be given each and every
contestant of every school in the
county. J,B. SUMMERS

VALUE OF COTTON
seed AS FERTILIZER
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
,nomic, Says Authority.

Atlanta, Ga. - February. - It would
be a mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer, as some farmers are talking
Of doing, according to J. N. Harper,
several years In experiment station
work 10 the South, and now director OF
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con.
tinuing he says:
SIT would be mistake for two rea-
sons: First, the South would be de-
prived of a great wealth producing
substance-cottonseed OIL, and sec
ond, cotton seed are not the best form
Of fertilizer to apply.
"On the first point, while II Is I'M.
fortunate that the vegetable oil market
is eff and the oil miller cannot offer
what the seed are really worth. II 10
better to accept what the miller can
afford to give than to allow. the oil to
be destroyed when 1t is needed %
much especially in starving Europe.
ITO use cotton seed as fertilizer
Is to throw away the oil Of the seed,
for oil Ia not plant food: In fact, 1t La
believed that II win retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied, It is not
possible to scatter It so as 10 feed
the crop properly. It puts the plant
food on the land IN Jumps as repre-
sented by the seed.
1T takes the seed long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact.
no great amount Of the plant food In
cotton seed is ever actually used by
the crop. AS evidence Of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin 2S6 Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. page
s, from which we quote: The seeds
are incased in hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them, and the kernels
contain oil which is supposed TO retard
their decomposition, so that consider.
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case Of very dry season,
It does not become available fast
enough TO supply the crop, and no
doubt q portion OF 1t fails to become
available until after the crop natures.

SPOKE TO SALES CLUB

o. M. Hatcher Gave Good susges-
tions to the Members
The Sales club of the "Y" had
treat last night at is weekly session
o. M. Hatcher, manager of the Lit
tie Giant comany, spoke on Service
Fundamentals in Salesmanship." In
the course of Mr. Hatchers remarks
emphasis was put on the idea of be.
ing we'll prepared before starting in
the salesmanship game. Most Of the
managers and presidents of firms
and big corporations are recruited
from the sales end Of business. This
is true for the reason that statesmen
are dealing with the human factor.
They must know the workings Of
mans mind.
A splendid supper was served at
six O'Clock. The entertainment
committee, composed of howard Mel.
son, Robert Swanson and Oliver
Oleson, was responsible for this part
of the program. These young men
will make a name for themselves
before many weeks pass.
Two sales demonstrations were
given by Messrs. Smith and Swan
SON. Some improvement was shown
over those held last week. M. H.
Chesbrough and o. M. Hatcher were
judgs on this phase of the work.

LOCAL LIVESTOCK,
NATION VOTE CAST TODAY
CONTINUED From Page One.1

Marshall declared formally that Mr..
Harding had been chosen President
and Mr.. Coolidge, Vice President
in official language that the announ-
cement should "be deemed SUI
ficient declaration of the persons
elected President and Vice Presi
dent Of the United States, each for
a. term beginning March 4. 1921"
7 The joint session today was or
dered by resolution of both Senate
and House. At one O'Clock, led by

right Of the chamber,
Galleries Lose Enthusiasm,
In opening the ceremonies Mr..
Marshall gave the usual warning
against demonstrations by the spec.
tators, a warning which always mas
been honored in the breach until the
galleries lost their enthusiasm under
tneN verbal procession of formal an
nouncements by the four tellers.
The votes canvassed today were
cast last January 10 by the electors

daily at the vice presidents Office,
Duplicate returns also have been

Among the personal messengers who
brought the ballots to Washington

announced the vice president asked
II there We're any objections. These
by law, are required to be voted on

CAANGEFARM|NGMETHOD.
PRESENT CONDITIONS MUST
BE MET, SAYS FARR
Plan For Future; Every Cloud
Has Silver Lining; What
To Do
M. Fl. FARR

The hand writing is on the wall
progressive farmers must meet pre-
sent conditions and plan for the fu-
ture. This means a change in farm
ing methods. -i
The writer has observed local
conditions as a result of trips ex-
tending between Mortified and Fari-
bault on the east end to Cottonwood
and Window on the west end. There
is just one outstanding fact. East OF
Mankato there is a great deal Of
dairying done, with the correspond
ing activity in all live stock lines in
Guiding beef cattle, hogs and poultry.
The east end is prosperous-no ono
can deny that. Prosperous because
whole milk, cream and butter checks
come in weekly or monthly to pro-
vide a steady, dependable income.
Much fertility is kept on the farms,
clovers and grasses are grown, corn
is fed to stock. Dairy herds and
silos are plentiful-unfailing sign oil
progressive farmers. Skim milk is
fed to calves. pigs and poultry with
the animal heat still in it, providing
anced ration. The rough grains are
ground before feeding. Much corn On
the cob is ground for feed.
And The West End.
West OF Mankato in the counties
visited, corn is the money crop
Market prices have been receding-
IS everyone knows. Spring wheat
yields have been small and generally
speaking not very profitable crop
over an average Of years with pres
ent valuation of land.
Go one MIGHT cav that the xuocf
end is the dark side or the picture
but every cloud has silver lining
The future is bright with promise fol
those who will seek the advice oil
county agents and the state depart
ment of Agriculture. Many OF our
better farmers practice what they
preach and are well satisfied with
the returns from farming as a bust
ness, year after year.
Everyone agrees that as the com
munity is prospering-so our towns
There is too great a portion OF the
population of this country living in
cities and towns.
The swing of the pendulum OF oul
national life, is now toward the farm
and farm occupations. Agriculture
is our greatest asset as a nation.
Dairying and live stock point the
way to larger and more certain returns
from farming. The United States
department of agriculture crop re-
porting beard reports that 1900
acres of winter wheat were sown
the fall Of 1920, as compared to TO-
000 acres the previous year in Min
nesota.
Winter wheat has proven a very
dependable and profitable crop and
is necessary in our crop rotation
Small acreages of sugar bcets have
yielded high returns in some local
tiles.
See your county agent and keep
better farming methods and farm,
better yourself. Head work counts
in farming as well as any other bus
mess enterprise. FL.
