Honest-to-Goodness Boosters

Because the members of the Min
nesota Crop Improvement association
are doing work which means the de-
velopment of a great new industry
for the state and increased yields in
farm crops, they are justified in call
ing themselves Better Minnesota
Boosters" says T. e. Odland, secre-
tary of the association, who has just
sent out the program of the assoeia-
tion's seventeenth annual convention
and mid-winter seed show. They are
boosting by doing things. They are
putting Minnesota !'in on the ground
floor" in growing farm seeds Of high
est grade to be distributed to a mar
ket- of immense possibilities in the
northwest and they are providing
seed which will increase the yields
of Minnesota's farms and add to the
prosperity of the whole state.
The extent to which the members
of the crop improvement association
are doing these things will be re-
vealed at the seed show at the Ryan
hotel in st. Paul, February %, "a,
and rs. The entries already received
will tax the Accommodations provided,
and assurances are that the crowd
coming for the convention will be
the largest In the history of the or
ganization. The main subjects to be
discussed have to do with marketing,
with the agencies of the state Off
cially created to promote the agri-
cultural welfare Of the state, and
with purebred seed production.
Speakers Of note from other states
will take part. A banquet will be held
Thursday evening, and business ses-
ions will be held Wednesday and
Thursday forenoons.
Trophies and $4,000 in cash prizes
will be awarded at the seed show.

1921: Cattle 400. Killing classes

Considerable improvement this
week in the demand for stock and
feeding cattle over the very light
movement previously this year when
the outgo from market centers Of
the country was the lightest for sew
eral years, has injected some life in
to the cattle trade, most feeding cat
tie and commoner killing grades sell
ing fully Csc higher than last week 8
close. Whether or not this will
prove to be repetition of last weeks
market when an early gain of rs to
soc was lost before the close, remains
to be seen. Packers are light buyers
at present and appear unwilling to
follow any advances, claiming that
no Improvement can be expected un-
til there is material enlargement in
demand for dressed beef and bet
terment in prices for hides and other
by-products. = ~; b.:
One load of good beef steers, aver
aging 1920 lbs. and a load Of baby
beeves, steers and heifers mixed

to 1915 and bologna bulls are NOV
ing slowly at $3.50 to $4.25 for the
majority of this class. Best veals
sold Tuesday at $3.50.
The sharp discount on heavy hogs
last week brought about wide range
in prices, select lights selling today
from $3.50 to $3.50, light and handy
weight butchers from $500 to $3.50
good medium and heavy hogs most
ly,$s.25 to 1915, and heavy packers

Returns to His Master

Chokio Review.-It was about two
years ago that J. w. Jones removed
from his farm to the city Of Chokio.
He then owned collie dog, and hav-
ing no use for the dog in town, sold
it to Harry Clark, who purchased 1T
for a farmer in North Dakota. The
dog was shipped via express to
Petersburg, N. D., and turned up
missing in about week or so after
arrival there. Wednesday morning
Mr.. Jones was surprised at hearing
a dog scratching on the outside OF
his door, and making a great fuss.
Upon opening the door, the dog
walked right in. Mr.. Jones being
curious about the matter. examined
certain places upon the dogs head
and body in search of old marks and
scratches and to his great surprise
learned that the dog was the one he
had sold two years ago. The faith
full animal had returned to it's frst
love-even If it did take two years tc
find his master. Needless to say, Mr.
Jones and family are just as happy as
the dog, and money will never part
them again.

Barberry Hedge Spoiled 10 Crops

Hundreds and hundreds Of in
stances can be cited to show that
the common barberry is the most i'm
portant factor in the spread Of rust
in northwest states. I In a govern
ment bulletin on rust and barberry,
DIR. e. C. Stakman of University farm
relates the experience of a farmer at
Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka,
Mimi. VINO had barberry hedge of
635 bushes. He had tried to grow
oats on his farm for 10 years, but
each year the black stem rust de-
troyed almost all the grain. Then
one spring he destroyed the hedge
before the bushes had become rusted.
Ten days before the harvest the field
was examined thoroughly and no
stem rust could be found. The yield
and quality proved to be excellent.
It was the first time in ten years that
a crop had been grown successfully
on that farm. Every Minnesota land
owner should begin early in the
spring to destroy the barberry for
the protection Of grain crops.

Wollthan.
r. A. Hancock who has contracted

that he expected to have men start
the hauling of gravel the latter part
of this week or the first part OF next
week, and that excavating will begin
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. The work will then be
pushed on as rapidly as possible.

nected with city hall in the same
building will be 172 feet long and
81 feet wide.
It will be erected on Oregon
avenue between 5th and 9Th streets

is to be from 5th street and the en-
trance to the municipal building WILL
face on 9Th street.

urer of the committee, and checks
should be made payable to him.
Before work could be started on
the building sum equal to that

5000 Mile Trip In 4O-Foot Yawl
Special Corrcspondence)

LOS ANGELES, July 2S.-Harry Pidgeon who single handed sailed a 44-foot yawl from Los Angeles har. Dor to Honolulu and back last sum mer is preparing his craft for a voyage to the South Sea Islands, 5000 miles southwest of here. He plans to set sail for the Marquesas within the next month or so.
 Pidgeon is an amateur mariner. Without previous experience he biult his boat himself. He got his plan from the 25-foot yawl "Seabird" in which Thomas Fleming Day made a trip across the Atlantic 12 years ago, but made his own boat nine feet longer,
 When he had finished his ship building last summer, he obtained sextant and picked up a little navi- gation. Then he set sail alone and made Honolulu in 26 days after a fairly rough trip. He also sailed the boat home. but took shipmate along to give him d better opportunity to sleep.
 Pidgeon plans to take supplies and water sufficient for two or three months. to carry him through the doldrums in the South Pacific. A sea anchore will furnish a valuable part of his equipment for use in heavy weather and when he sleeps.
