Agricultural Agents and the State De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Under an act passed, the matter of
establishing state rural credits will be
submitted to the voters at the next
regular election. Estab bishment of
such credits demands change in the
state constitution. Q
Provision is made for the organiza-
ton of land mortgage associations.
Under this law, a group of men can
get together and finance the clearing
and improvement Of agricultural lands,
giving long credit terms if the farmer
desires. s
Counties are permitted under the
Bissette Law to appropriate money for
the clearing~of lands that are agri-
cultural in character. This law is
similar in it's action within the county
to the existing state law relative to
drainage.
A land classification law is enacted
providing for the classification Of un-
occupied lands within the State. This,
together with provision for continued
experiments on peat and sandy soils
gives Minnesota the beginnings of a
business-like survey of its unused
agricultural lands.
A weed supervisor under the State
Department. of Agriculture has been
provided and statewide control is
placed in his hands. Special provision
is made for the era dication of the wheat
producing barberry. .s
The Cold Storage Act Of 1919 is
Widened in its scope to protect the in
terests Of producer and consumer by
the labelling of cold storage products
where they are sold in competition
with products fresh from the farm.
State aid to County Fairs was in
creased by a total of $l5,000.0O
enabling each county complying with
the State requirements to secure at
least $500.
Bills for the more complete protec-
ton of grain and livestock shippers,
amendatory to present laws, were
passed.
Resolutions memorializing Congress
to protect various agricultural pro-
ducts from foreign competition were
passed and forwarded to Congress.
A resolution memoralizing Congress
to enact legislation prohibiting and
curtailing speculation in farm pro-
ducts was passed.
A resolution asking the Interstate
Commerce Commission to make illegal
the existing freight discrimina tions on
steel and steel products was passed.
The State Department Of Agricul-
ture is given power to establish an In
spection Service covering potatoes and

Important Ruling.
Unless an applicant for an automo-
bile license is able to give the engine
number of his vehicle, he is not en-
titled to obtain license, according to
an opinion from the office of Attorney
General C. H. Hilton, given to Mike
Holm, secretary Of state, Thursday.
Where a new engine block has been
put in or the original number on the
engine has been obliterated, the pur-
pose of registration would be defeated
If the owner were allowed to obtain a
license without giving the engine NUM-
ber, the ruling states. It warns against
the practice of buying and selling cars
with oblitereated numbers.
The opinion, written by James r..
Markham assistant attorney general
points out requirements of automobile
registra ton, one of which is the fur
nishing of the engine number of the
car.

Moving pictures are marvel to the
South Sea islanders, according to a
recently returned visitor to that por-
tion of the globe. The tragic part Of
the film is too much for the natives,
he said, and there is so much weep
ing and groaning that a man has to
go up in the gallery and tell them
that it will all come out all right in
the end. Thus assured, the audience
proceeds to wipe up and watch for
further developments, and when the
heroine is rescued and the villain is
thWarted. pandemonium breaks loose,
for the people not only shout, but
dance with joy.
