ST. PAUL STOCK MARKET

A substantial increase in cattle re
ceipts at most leading western mar
kets early in the week combined with
a slackened demand from the country
for stockers and feeders and with a
dull and weak trade in dressed beef,
due largely to the industrial situation
which is slow TO show any marked
improvement, were depressing factors
in the cattle trade on early days of
the week and declines were general.

was 0 increase in supplies and
losses of as much a 25C to SOC We're
noted. With some dropping off in sup
plies toward the weeks close, how
ever, the market strengthened and
most Of the early losses were regain

good beef grade reached 1925, during
the week with a fair showing Of sales
from S8.25GS.S5, and bulk of the steers
selling from $6750S.0O. Strictly
choice heifers have sold in small lots
at $750GS.0O, with bulk of the butcher
COWS and heifers finding an outlet at
$42506.5O. Gamers, cutters and
bulls show little change for the week
A seasonal swelling in veal calf re
ceipts has acted as a bearish influence
in the market for this class and prices
are about soc lower than a week ago,
with packer top $500 at the weeks
close. Strictly choice heavy feeder
steers sold during the week at $3.50
QS.75, and better grades are quoted

GROW ALFALFA THIS YEAR

Il should like to see every farmer
in Brookings county grow some alfalfa
this year." says Tom Mahe,, president
of the Brookings County Farm Bureau.
He has stated many times that he be-
lieves alfalfa. is the best paying crop
that can be grown in the county, and
il is not difficult to grow. One ton
Of good alfalfa hay is worth n ton
Of bran in feeding value"
Every farmer can we'll afford to
seed some alfalfa this year, when
prices are so uncertain. Less expense
is needed in growing alfalfa than in
most any other crop.
Alfalfa may be seeded with small
grain this spring, or in the last cult
walton of corn. The main thing IN
growing alfalfa is to have the ground
well plowed and a good firm seed bed
prepared. Alfalfa should be planted
less than one inch deep. When seed
ing alfalfa with a nurse crop about
rs per cent less small grain seed is
needed. Ten pounds of alfalfa seed
to the acre is plenty when the seed
bed is well made. Do not expect al
falfa to fight weeds. Inoculating cul-
ture for alfalfa can be secured at the
college. Grimm seed is the most
hardy and the cheapest seed to SOW.
Farmers who are unable to obtain good
seed should write the Farm Bureau.

WE WONDER WHY

An exchange says that if a man
went out with his head dolled up
in a three-cornered dingus with
kinks and cu%rlicues. and a cats tail
and a chicken head pinned on one
side, and a young whisk broom and a
bunch OF young onions on the other,
and two strips Of red flannel hanging
down the rear, he would be arrested
and slammed in the BOBBY hatch. But
a woman can do it and get away with
it. Why?
Well, we don't know. If a woman
went down town with a big wad of
tobacco in her month, and stood
around or the corner, and told stories,
and sQuirted tobacco juice all over
everything, and swore every other
breath, used foul language and swag-
gered around she would soon be ar
rested. But a man car do it and get
away with 1t. Why?

national organizations have been per

associations which desire to incor-
porate, intend TO affiliate and coop
crate with these national organiza-
tons. 1t also appears that these fed
eral cooperative associations are
~nOn-capital corporations.
The object Or purpose Of a cor
pOration nus be such as the statutes
authorize. The section relating 10
cooperative associations provides
that corporations with capital stock
may be formed for the purchase and
sale of farm products, or other in
dustrial or agricultural purposes.
In following sections it provides
that every such association shall be
managed by a board Of directors
elected from the stockholders of the
association. If a cooperative asso-
citation has no capital stock or if no
stock has been subscribed for, there
can be no directors and Consequently
no organization with qualified officers
can be perfected.
