CALVES AND PIGS KEEP
BOYS AND GIRLS BUSY
Club Members Enjoy Work Tho Pets
Are Troublesome One Calf
Even Eats Her Wash Cloth.

Boys and girls who are members
of Pig and Calf Clubs are busy this
week writing up the life stories of
their calves and pigs before the Fair.
Some of the calves kicked their young
owners and one Holstein even ate the
wash cloth when her mistress tried
to wash her feet, but the club mem
bers say they have enjoyed their club
work very much in spite of difficult
ties.
Martha Keeler who has an Aber-
deem Angus named Elmer writes that
she enjoyed being calf club member
very much except when her calf
would lose it's appetite or would kick
her. She tied Elmer in dark stall
to make him gain faster. Martha is
also a pig club member. She plans
to be in both clubs again next year.
Lynn Paulson says he is Hols-
tein boy because he was raised on
Holstein milk and because he wanted
to see if he couldn't make his calf
little better than the other fellows.
He says you have to be right on the
job all the time if you are going to
raise good calves.
Marjorie Buss writes that at first
she was very much afraid of her calf
and would climb right out of the stall
as soon as she fed her. She was
afraid to lead her Jersey to water
when it would run and jump around,
but she says she is entirely used to
calves now and is not a bit afraid.
1t was Margaret Meyers calf that
preferred to eat up an entire wash
cloth rather than be washed. Mar
garet says, "There was one thing
Piebe kicked on doing and that was
having her feet washed" One day
Mamma decided to help me so she
said she would help me, so Invent in
to the house to get some water and a
cloth to wash her with, when I got
out where Piebe was I noticed I did
MT have any soap, so I went in again
to get some. When I came out again
Piebe had eaten the cloth was going
to wash her with"
Margaret says, Piebe didn't like
the second cloth any better, for she
kicked water all oyer her mother and

UNUSUALLY GOOD LOT
OF NEW BOOKS ARRIVE
Queen Victoria" -"Alice Adams"
And cage of Innocence" Among
Recent Acquisitions.

Several interesting new books have
arrived at the Morris Library. Lyt-
ton Strachey's Queen Victoria" is
an exceedingly clear presentation of
Queen Victoria and her time, striking
characterizations of Lord Melbourne,
Palmerston, Gladstone and Disraeli.
Another popular new novel, "The Age
of Innocence" by Edith Wharton is
now available for Norris readers. It
is story of New York of the 1880s.
alice Adams" by Booth Tarking-
ton is both pathetic and an anus
ing story of a girl living in small
town whose working class family are
unable to keep up with her social
standing after she leaves high school.
The efforts of the family to make
good are of no use and Alice finally
passes" that dark entrance to the
very doorway she had always looked
end of hope"
1.-The Man Who Did The Right
Thing" by Sir Harry Hamilton Johns
ton is the very real story of an Eng
lish consul whose conscience to do for
others in his development of the Afri-
can Happy Valley" in such a way
that his political aspirations suffer
temporary eclipse. 1t gives vivid
descriptions of East Africa and also
of country life in England.
"Green Apple Harvest" by Sheila
Kaye-Smith gives an excellent delin-
cation of rural Sussex and it's people.
The story describes the tragic sinking

family whose wealth is consumed and
whose characters, in inevitable strug
gle to combat their environments,
mingle sometimes with wandering
gypsies, sometimes with religious
fanatics.
"Dust" by Mr.. and Mrs. Emmanuel
Julius-Haldeman is strong story of
the conquering of the soil of pioneer
Kansas. The life described is like
"a handful of dust thrown into Gods
face and blown back again by the
wind to the ground" Prairie Moth
er" by Stringer and "Sister-in-law," ,"
the latter especially will also prove
interesting reading.

Meet Saturday For Conference
On Weed Eradication.

More than forty weed inspectors
from all over the state and several
county agents from this district gath
cred in the Commercial Club rooms at
Norris last Saturday to attend con-
ference of weed inspectors Of the
third district under the leadership of
C. P. Bull, state inspector of weeds

ford, agronomy instructor from the
Agricultural school, Mr.. Moore, coun-
ty agent of Traverse county, and Mr..
Henderson of Pope county were
among the agricultural experts pres
ent.
"The eradication of noxious weeds
is one of the most potent factors in
the development of a better CROP"
said Mr.. Bull, in speaking of the
necessity of getting after the weeds
in Minnesota.
Sow thistle and Canadian thistle
in this part of the state. He said the
weed problem was a city problem as
i we'll as rural one, for
it would require the coop
erative efforts of all the
people in district to rid that district
of weeds. Canadian thistle he describ-
: ed as the hardest to kill, and SOW
thistle as the fastest spreading weed.
weeds are the pirate of the farm, -
said Mr.. Henderson of Pope county.
UNLESS they are eradicated in time
they will take a crop.
Mr.. Henderson suggested judicious
crop rotation as a partial remedy.
Allen w. Edison, county agent
stated that SOW thistle and Canadian
thistle were in his opinion the two
worst weedsi in Stevens county. Sow
thistle was particularly abundant si2
miles north of Morris, he said.
"Now is the time to get at SOW
thistle,' said P. E. Miller in a short
address, because it hasn't yet gain,
ed the headway here it has in Other
places"
Mr.. Miller said that if people here
waited ten years to act, they would
have to clear up forty acre tracts in
stead of small patches as they do now
Inspectors from the north describ
ed how weeds grow in ashes left from
burning brush. Many farmers hac
been forced to leave the Red River
valley because weeds took the croI
every year. That the people of the
district as a whole were behind thu
efforts of the state to eradicate weed:
was brought out several times as thu
inspectors related their experiences
Several described how farmers were
willing to burn grain in the shock il
order to destroy foul seeds.
Mr.. Bull read the weed law recent
ly enacted which gives the county in
spectors full authority backed by th'
law to have noxious weeds eradicateC
in their districts. When in their OBJ
servation they find that the law il
not being complied with the inspect

; notice on the persons responsible fo
