Campaign on Under Farm Bureau
Association to Have Every Town
ship Organize Unit Community

Horton, Morris and Darnen town
ships have already organized into
township units in the Farm Bureau
organization campaign which is now
going on under the auspices of Allen
w. Edison, county agent and H. W.
Brockway, farmer from LeSeuer
county, Mimi, who is in Stevens
county assisting with the work.
Brockway and Edison will hold at
least one meeting a day in the diff
erent townships of the county in the
next two weeks. The idea of the
movement is not to tear down any
existing organization, but to have
every township represented by unit
through which the Farm Bureau can
work. Under this system every
on the Farm Bureau Board and the
county agent will be able to reach
every member of the farm bureau
when it might be impossible for him
to reach every Individual in personal
farm visits. Each township will
work out it's own individual prob,
lens as a unit.

STORM ON EASTER
WORST OF WINTER
Spring Festival Ushered in With
Rain and Snow Driven by Strong
Wind

Last week, spring work in the
fields had begun, and most of the
farmers had begun dragging and
some had a considerable part of the
early seeding done. This week the
fileds are wet or covered with snow,
and spring work has BEEN set back
for two weeks.
Last week, the weather was warm
and pleasant and there was every
prospect of a beautiful Easter, but
when Easter came the ground was
covered with snow, icy blasts were in
the air, and the Easter promenade
was bundled up in furs.
Rain started Saturday afternoon,
and during the evening turned to
snow while the wind rose from the
north and the worst storm of the
winter was on.
The soft snow froze as it fell
weighing down the branches of trees
which broke under the weight. The
electric light wires became sheathed
in ice, and the service was interrupt
ed continually during the evening.
Birds caught in the storm could find
no shelter and the next day their ice
coated bodies lay about the streets.
Many sparrows perished, but also
some robins and other song birds
which had ventured north during the
warm days preceding.
The wind was so strong that at
the Weum-Belverud store, one of the
large plate glass windows was blown
in.
The storm swept all western Min
nesota, and near Worthington in the
southern part of the state there was
tornado in which two persons were
killed and 100000 worth Of build
ings destroyed. The tornado swept
everything in it's path for strip a
quarter of a mile wide and thirty
miles long.

William Cherry had his right wrist
badly cut and some skin clipped from
his head when piece of glass fell
while he was helping remove the
articles from the display window of
the Weum-Belverud store after the
window had broken by the storm
on Saturday night. With George
Anderson and Aleck Rumstad he was
trying to save the clothes on display
from the storm when piece Of glass
which stuck at the top when the rest
of the window was blown in by the
force of the wind slipped and fell.
He ducked and was able to get his
headualmost out Of the way, hut the
force of the blow came on his wrist
1t was necessary to take four stitches
in it. -

Increasing receipts of live stock at
leading central markets this week
are having a depressing influence and
general trade tendency is toward
lower levels. Dressed beef markets
continue sluggish due largely to in
dustrial conditions, which are slow
to show any betterment, and with
country demand for stock and feed
ing cattle below normal for this sea-
son of the year, the cattle market is
weak with most kinds about a quart
er lower than the close of last week.
The exceptions are some OF the good
to choice yearling steers and he1fers
on the speciality order, and bologna
bulls on which there is some outside
competition. Best beef steers in the
early weeks trade was a load of very
good 1900 lb offerings that brought
Ss.25, with fair showing of sales at
SS.25 to 1886, and bulk of the beef
steers from $3.50 to $3.50. Good to
choice cows and heifers are selling
from. $6.75 to $3.50, with bulk of
sales from $4.OO to $3.50. Gamers
and cutters are going to packers
largely at $500 to $4.OO, with
bologna bulls mostly from $4.OO to
$3.50. Veal calf supplies are COM
ing in increasing numbers and the
market has declined about $3.50
since early last week, with best lights
today selling at $500, or at the low
est price in many years. Strictly
choice heavy feeders sold as high as
$3.50, and the same quality stockers
are quotable to $3.50, with common
and, medium kinds selling mostly 25c
below last weeks close, and tending
lower.
Hog values have dropped rapidly
the past week with today's average
about 81. 90 lower than at last week.

some contraction from the unseason-
ably wide range of a week ago.

The lamb market is on weak basis

A couple of weeks ago the Browns

eligible bachelors of the town, but
evidently overlooked one, from the
following item which appeared in

Herbert Hanson kicked like bay
steer because his name was left off of
that list of eligibles published in last

were we're taking an unfair advant
age of him by not proclaiming to the
world that he was in the market.
