Will Assist Income Tax PAYERS

For the purpose of simplifying the
collection of the 1920 income tax
Minnesota has been divided into five
divisions with division headquarters
at Minneapolis, Duluth, Winona,
Mankato and St. Cloud. These divi-
sion headquarters will be kept open
from February 1st to March 18th in
charge of a Division Chief and his
assistant. In addition to this a
Revenue Agent has been assigned to
each division headquarters. His du-
ties will be to assist corporations to

signed to each county where he will
spend some time assisting taxpayers
in filing their returns. The duration
of his stay in each county will de-
pend on the number of returns filed
for previous years. In counties hav-
ing one or more large towns outside
of the county seat this agent will
divide his time among them, but will
in most instances be stationed in the
county seat.

Division will be visited by zone
deputy during the week February Z
to 12 who will assist any one in
Stevens county in filing returns.

DONNELLY CREAMERY
PAID PATRONS $55,OOO
Association Closes Successful First
Year-Butter Took Second Place
at Chicago

The Donnelly Cooperative Cream
cry Association held their annual
! meeting on Tuesday of this week,
and in spite of the fact that this was
light year for dairy products, yet
the reports showed that in this year
its first year-the association had
! been most successful in enlisting the
/ support of the farmers of the Don
nelly community and in building up
a prosperous institution.
! It had been planned to have a
, speaker from outside address the
meeting, but these arrangements
j failed, and so in opening the meet
ing President w. F. Meyer spoke
briefly of prosperous condition of the
! association and of the benefit which
it had been to it's members. The
secretary's report was given and
officers elected for the ensuing year
as follows:
President-John Sperr.
Vice-Pres.-W J. Treinen.
Treas.-Emil Wollenberg.
! Secretary-O. C. Gullickson
! Directors Olson, Jesse Diehl,
and w. F. Meyer.
( The creamery handles practically
all the cream that is marketed in
: Donnelly. During the past year, it
took in over 100000 pounds of
cream, which yielded $1,000 pounds
of butterfat, from which was made
about $4,000 pounds of butter. This
shows an Overrun of 10000 pounds
! of butter, which much more than
paid all the expenses of the cream
cry. Over $4,000 was paid out to
patrons during the year. Patronage
holds up we'll, and the creamery is
making AZ tubs of butter even now.
/ The creamery has 191 active patrons.
Much of the success of the cream
cry is due to the earnest efforts which
have been put forth by President
Meyer and the other officers during
the past year, and also to the ex-
, cellent work of the buttermaker, O.
c. Gullickson. Mr.. Gullickson is a
firm believer in the theory that a
buttermaker is supposed to make
butter, and the better butter he
makes the better buttermaker he is,
and the more successful will the
creamery be. Mr. Gullickson sent
samples of his butter to the National
Dairy Show at Chicago in October
and received the second prize for
Minnesota on hand separator butter
and ranked third in the United
States. His butter scored better than
the best in some states, but competi-
ion in Minnesota is so strong, that
it is higher mark of excellence to be
second in Minnesota than first in
those other states which do not pro-
duce the high quality butter that
Minnesota does.

Will Have Poultry Show

The Stevens County Poultry AS
sociation of Morris in annual meet
ing held at the Office Of the Stevens
County Farm Bureau Friday evening
decided to hold special Poultry
Show next year instead of having it
in connection with the County Fair
as has been the custom in the past.
This It is believed will increase the
interest in the activities Of the asso-
citation and in the poultry raising
in the county. By having this show
in the winter there is also prospects
of getting larger and better exhibits.
An appropriation of $15,00O.00
was made by the 1919 legislature for
aiding poultry raising. This money
is to be used as prizes awarded at
poultry exhibitions. Each county
may receive not to exceed $4,000.
In former years when the poultry
show was held in connection with
the county fair only small part of
this sum has been claimed by Stew
ems county.
The association also raised the
annual membership dues from rs
cents to $1.OO.
The following officers for the en-
suing year were elected: President,
John WIGHT; Vice President, Mrs. J.
w. Paulson; Secretary-Treasurer
Frank Haight.

WONDERFUL PROGRESS
MADE BY FARM BUREAU
Membership More Than Doubled in
Past Year-819 Associations Did
Business of $40, 1858

Striking progress was made in
1920 by the Minnesota farm bureaus,
according to the annual report of F.
E. Balmer, state leader of county
agents. The membership in county
bureaus has grown from 26,136 in
1918 to 53,282 on January 1, 1921.
Sixty-six counties of the state have
adopted the SIS year continuous
membership plan, and seven addi-
tional counties will do so soon.
The report says that the 80 CO.
operating bureaus of the state worked
upon 1,191 projects in 1920, the
grand total Of all projects planned
for the year having been 1878. In
addition to farm projects, 26 coun-
ties in their programs and II coun-
ties included boys and girls club
work. Fifty-eight counties published
Farm Bureau News or similar
publication and 81 issued an ex-
change list.
To summarize a few of the many
great achievements of the year it can
be said that 1873 drainage systems,
involving 1873 acres, were planned
and adopted in 26 counties. In 72
counties 1925 farmers co-operated
in growings 4462 additional acres of
alfalfa. The, acreage of sweet clover
was increased by the cooperation OF
677 farmers in 81 counties to 6,4O2
acres.
Some splendid results are reported
better classes of livestock. In II
counties 1920 registered bulls were
procured and in 81 counties 1907
registered boars were added to swine
herds. Fifty-nine counties reported
additions of 1885 registered COWS
and 46 counties added 1491 high
grade COWS. In 27 counties 619 COWS
we're discarded as improbable as 6
result of cow-testing association
work. Twenty-nine associations
were in operation with 1O,O42 COW:
under test. In Sc counties 1,24(
farmers were assisted in balancing
rations for livestock; in 49 scounties
1901 silos we're erected. In 81 coun
ties 24,062 animals we're tested fol
tuberculosis, and in 80 counties 25,
924 hogs we're vaccinated for hog
cholera control.
The value of farm products sole
or exchanged through farm bureau
service during 1920 amounted tt
$1,7O1,553 in 46 counties. In s.
counties the farm. bureaus and coun
ty agents gave assistance to the worl
of 819 associations, previously il
operation, which transacted volume
of business amounting to $40,665, ,86s
and effected saving of $1,603,383

Will Get a Car Of Phosphate

At the meeting of farmers and
county agents at the Commercial
Club last Saturday, the proposition
of getting in a car of treble super
phosphate was thoroly discussed.
Supt. Miller explained how the fer
tilizer plots at the experimental sta
tion had demonstrated the advantage
of using acid phosphate fertilizer and
how the cooperative tests by large
number of farmers couple of years
ago had resulted in greatly increased
yields.
A canvass of those present resulted
in pledges amounting to about half a
car, and it is expected that enough
more will want to purchase so that
a car can be bought comparatively.
