Their failure TO forpsee this change

due in a large degree TO the fact
that they were not keeping well
enough informed about the eco
nomic situation in general
our business men who properly
studied the economic forces Shap-

prices we've soaring TOO far beyond

than nov. The public has come 10
look upon the retailers readjust-

must be completed before economic
conditions are on a comparatively
sound basis preparatory 10 a gen
eraI revival OF business. That pop

trated by the recent sO-Called buy

on the other hand, the public
must comprehend that reduction OF

0mcial paper of Marshall County.

Some people flirt- with death in one
way. and some in another. Daring
aViators pass from plane to plane while
flying high in the air. Occasionally a
man decides to ride Over. Niagara Falls
in a. barrel. These endeavors are con
fined, in the most part, to adults who
should have better sense. a-, ss
There is another death-defying stunt
which is confined to the youngsters who
still wear Abbreviated trousers and short
dresses. There is an awful temptation
put before youngster when his hand
is grasping the rope Of a Christmas
sled and bObsled comes tearing along
down the street Little feet begin to
itch and hearts beat fast with the pros
poets Of hooking on behind for gratis
ride. ..-..- ~.-s
While it is hard to pass them up,
there is an inevitable law that will some
day collect it's toll from the innocent
crowd Of children sportsmen. Better
safe than sorry, can we'll be applied to
the ancient custom. 1t is great deal
better to trust to the law Of, gravity
than that Of horsepower for locomo-
tion on a sled, and much safer.

RESUME OF UNIVERSITY . 5
FARM DEPT. WORKS
Minnesota Has Been Made Leading
Dairy Production State I'm
Union.

What the Department of Agriculture
Of the University of Minnesota has
done for agriculture was summarized
by Dean r. w. Thatcher at the, annual
meeting of county agents and extension
workers at University Farm last week.
The Dean summed up the striking
achievements Of the department as fol-.
lows: s
Development of the School of Agri-
culture, demonstrating the feasibility
of such schools and paving the way for
passage of the Smith Hughes bill pro
viding for agricultural departments in
high schools throughout the country
Farmers cooperative creamery sys-
TEN, which has made Minnesota the
leading dairy production state in the
union.
Prof. T. L. Hackers feeding stand
ards which have fairly revolutiohized
the practice of ration making for dairy
cows throughout the United States.
Early farm crop breeding work which
extended the area of profitable corn
growing northward more than $50
miles.
Cost of production studies which a
Yale university facultyman says con-
stitute the most thoroughly scientific
and well grounded studies in agricul-
tural economics which have been pro-
duced in America.
Crop rotation systems now in general
use throughout the state.
Sugar beet Investigations which cul-
minated in the establishment at Chaska
of a beet factory which is now in sue
cessful operation.
Investigations which laid the fOmda-
ton for the system of accrediting tuber-
culosis-free purebred herds OF cattle
now used throughout the United States.
System of potato seed certification.
Development of Minnesota Nos. :!
and 1917 Strawberries and No: 1 raSp-
berry. -
Cost of producing forest tree seed
lings reduced to less than half by in
vestigations at Cloquet forestry station.
DEMONSTRATION Of the profitable use
of phosphate fertilizers on certain well
defined types of soils and the futility
of the use of other kinds, thereby pre-
venting enormous waste in expenditures
for fertilizers by Minnesota farmers.
Classification of peats into different
types having different possibilities of
agriculture use. @'
Development Of farmers cooperative
selling agencies and the county farm
bureau and promotion of boys and
girls club work by the agricultural eX-
