Minneapolis, June 1s.-The Mime
o state board of grain appeals at
its annual meeting in Minneapolis to-
day readopted the federal standards
for the grading of grain in the state.
The board took this action despite
the fact that tie last session of the

Minnesota standards in case the sec
rotary Of agriculture refused to modi-
fy the federal standards. Although
q delegation Of. Minnesota. men asked
Secretary Wallace to make changes in
the federal grades. the secretary held
that the federal grades should stand.
The attorney general held that the
resolution was nor mandatory.
Tuesday the membership OF the

to restore No. 1 northern as the con
tract grade for wheat deliverable on

The Newspaper Job

A literary genius is man who has
the ability of saying the common
things of life in artistic form, so that
when you hear them speak you say:
81 had thought of that but couldn't
express it in words" We take the
crude marble of thought, rough and
indefinite in shape and carve it into
a Michelangelian angel of expression.
There is a man of that type in Cali
fornia. He is a preacher and ne
thought he could run newspaper;
he tried it one day and told how it
felt. Someone clipped it out and
handed it to US, and since it is entire
ly too good to run under ''What 9th
ers say" we are going to give it more
prominence Here it is:
"Many people. believe that news
paper falls together without work or
concerted activity or plan. Rev. Nc
Leod, Presbyterian minister at Pas
adena, ,ewas of the opinion and asked
to be allowed to edit an edition Of the
Pasadena Star. The editor gladly ac-
cepted the opportunity to go fishing
and the minister took up his duties
in the newspaper Office. This is how
he felt when he found himself at the
end of the task, which, it must be
said, had been done quite creditably:
"My time is almost up as pen this
last line; my hand is almost paralyz-
ed; my brain is befuddled, and l am
free to confess that / am right glad
to vacate the holy spot. Such rush
and riot and disarray. Such a jumble
of potpourri; it strikes me as the eff
fort to bring order out of chaos, and
to do il lightning quick.
81 am reminded of the memorable
words, The earth was without form
and void and darkness was upon the
face of the waters Never shall l
criticize newspaper men more.
shall pray for them. They will have
nv hearts forbearance hence -orth
and forever. They are the hardest
worked, shortest lived, poorest paid
brain workers on this weary old
world of ours"

Turkeys Eat Boil Weevils
Birmingham News.

A verified special dispatch to The
Memphis Commercial Appeal from
Womble, Arkansas, who titled an up
land farm near the Caddo river, made
a full crop of cotton this year while
his neighbors made from fourth
crop down to a tenth: The explana-
ton is given that his cotton field was
near his house and he had a large
flock of turkeys which ranged in the
cotton field, with the result that they
ate up the boil weevils and army
worms, to Mr.. Buffers great advan-
tage, and that now, after having a
full crop of cotton, he has some fine,
fat turkeys for sale.
The item is worth pondering. 1t
is not the first time the claim has
been made that turkeys will Cat wee
wills, but the evidence on this seems
so clear that it may be accepted as
fact.
At this time of the year when there
is scramble in Alabama to get tur-
keys for Thanksgiving and Christmas
and when the prices are 50 high that
the average family has about given
up the custom of serving "the ma
tional bird" it might be well for some
of our country people 10 CONSIDER the
benefit of this combination of full
crop of cotton and fat flock Of tur-
keys. There certainly is never any
difficulty in seHirg turkeys, and un-
like chickens. turkeys will forage for
themselves to the extent that they re-
quire very little feeding at all.
With all our talk about diversified
ton, crates Of chickens and other
poultry by the hundreds come into
Birmingham every month from Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Georgia and even
far off Kentucky What's the matter
with our folks?
