millers and grain dealers alike.
Public hearings on the bill will be
asked. The Northwest delegation
will be invited to appear before the
house agriculture committee.
Mr.. Steenerson is the first of the
Northwest delegation in Congress to
publicly express his displeasure at
the new Secretary of Agriculture for
failing to grant the demands Of the
spring wheat belt. Now that the ice
is broken, it is probable that others
will come to the front with sugges-
tions as to how to get relief for the
farmers. The promises Of Mr.. Wal
lace to make an investigation looking
to modification Of the grades does
not set well with the members. Mr..
Steenerson is convinced that the Bu-
reau Of Markets officials will be able
to win out again unless Congress
itself, takes a hand.

Operation Of MfefSphone.

The micropiione is applied to the
detection of fire damp in mines. This
is It's principle: If sound waves from
two pipes OF equal pitch impinge on
microphOnes connected in series with
a telephone, clear note is heard, but
if one of the pipes emits slightly
different note beats will be heard in
the telephone. Here Is the applica-
ton: One pipe is placed in the mine,
the other above the ground, and they
are blown simultaneously. If the air
In the mine is charged with fire damp
it will produce different note from
that produced by clear air, owing to
the difference Of density, and, in con-
sequence, series of beats in the tele-
phone gives warning Of the presence
Of fire damp. The same apparatus is
very sensitive to the presence Of coal

Farm Wealth of Five

Minnesota's Northern Sections Show
Large Returns in Last Ten
Year Period

Farm wealth in five northern Min
nesota counties has nearly trebled IN
the last ten years, according to cen
sus statistics made public at Wash
ington for the counties of Hubbard,
Morrison, st. Louis, Todd and Wa
dena. In these counties the census
returns for April Is, 1910, showed a
total value for farm lands and build
ings of s36,924,55O. In the same
counties for Jan. /, 1920, the total
was $1O7 ,43S,232, an increase OF S70,-
513,6S2, or 191 per cent.

Grain Grade Bill
is Filed in House
Minnesota Representative Says that
Dealers Influence would Block
Altering Specifications

Washington, May 21-The quarrel
between the Northwest and the De-
partmant of Agriculture over Federal
grades of spring wheat was taken to
Congress last week by Representative
Halvor Steenerson of Minnesota, who
introduced bill to grant the relief
sought by farmers of Minnesota, No.
Dakota and So. Dakota.
In statement Mr.. Steenerson said
that millers and the middleman have
sufficient influence to prevent changes
except by Legislation. Bureau OF
Market officials, who made the pre-
sent grades, Mr.. Steenerson declared,
succeeded in preventing Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace from ordering
the notifications sought by the
wheat growers and others.
Mr.. Steenerson's bill would write
into the law the notifications propos-
ed recently by delegation from
Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota at a conference with Secre-
tary Wallace The measure would
not effect any grades except those
relating to the Northwest. It is rot
proposed to tamper with winter
wheat grades because the operation
OF the Federal act has proved salts

HOW TO RESPECT THE FLAG

HOW TO RESPECT THE FLAG
. The Flag should be raised at sun
rise and lowered at sunset. It may
be raised at other times but should
never be left out overnight, except
when it is under the fire of an enemy.
On Memorial Day the Flag should be
displayed at half-mast from sunrise
until noon, and at the peak from noon
until sunset.
In raising the Fag to half-mast it
should always be run to the peak and
then lowered one breadth of the Flag.
In retiring it, is should first be run
back to the peak, then retired. 1t
should never be allowed to touch the
ground.
When the "Star Spangled Banner
is played or sung, stand and remain
standing at attention in silence until
it is finished. When the flag is pass
ing on parade or in review, if you
are walking, halt; if sitting, rise,
stand at attention, and uncover.
The Flag should never be worn at
the whole or part of costume. AS
"a badge it should be worn over the
left breast. In decorating, the Flag
should never be festooned or draped.
Always hung fiat. If hung so stripes
are horizonatal, the Union should be
in the left upper corner. If hung
perpendicularly, the Union should be
in the right upper corner.
When the national flag and another
flag fly from the same pole there
should be double halyards, one for
each flag. The flag should never be
placed below a person sitting. 1t
should never be used in such way
that it might become soiled. When
carried in parade or when crossed
with other flags, The Stars and
Stripes should always be at the right,
the place of honor.
When the Flag is used in unveiling
a statue of monument, it should never
be allowed to fall to the ground, but
should be carried aloft to waive out,
forming a distinctive feature during
the remainder of the ceremony. When
the Flag is placed over bier or cas-
ket the blue field should be at the
head. If used as an altar covering
the Union should be at the right as

Articles of Interest to the Farmer
Edited by W. Huntmer, County Agent Melrose Minnesota

Anti-Rat Campaigns The Anti
rat campaign in Minneapolis has had
had excellent results, according to F.
L. Washburn Of the division of en-
tomology and economic zoology at
University Farm. Many hundreds
l IF these pests have been killed by US
! ing barium carbonate with the pro-
per bats and, as a consequence, very
much money has been saved the city.
Eft is hoped the good work will not be
confined to Minneapolis, but that the
other towns in the state will wage a
war against these expensive pests.
Recently issued circulars on poison
ing rats and mice will be mailed by
the Division of Publications, Univer-
sity Farm, to any citizens requesting
them, and the division of entomology
and economic zoology will be glad to
cooperate with any community plan
ming such campaign.
Official Testing Gain-M. H. Fohr-
man of University Farm, superin-
tendent of official testing of cattle
herds in Minnesota, reports that more
test work was completed the first
nine months of the present fiscal year
than during the entire previous year.
In March 1852 cows, or 20.7 per cent
of the total numbtr, 1882, under test
made the honor roll. To get on this
roll cow must produce four pounds
or more of butterfat in two days. The
1872 honor roll animals represented SO
herds.
with more than one-fifth of the
cows on yearly test producing at the
rate of 60 pounds of butterfat or bet
ter month";" says Supt. Fohrman,
"there is every indication that some
excellent long time records will be
hung up within the next year"
Of 257 seven-day records reported
in March, 1O1, or approximately 40
per cent, were over 20 pounds of but
ter; 43 were over 25 pounds of but
ter, and Is produced more than 80
pounds in seven days.
Production Costs-Fifty-one ses-
sions Of the One-Day Farm Manage
ment Schools offered farmers by the
agricultural extension division OF the
state university, were held in Min
nesota the past winter by w. L. Cav
ert, farm management demonstrator,
in cooperation with Is county farm
bureaus. The total attendance was
1,246. "The purpose IN each case"
says Mr.. Cavert, was to get together
small groupes of farmers who were
particularly interested in the busi-
ness side of agriculture and to as
sist them in computing the cost OF
producing butterfat, potatoes, wheat,
corn, pork and other products, ac-
cording to conditions prevailing in
their localities, and then in the light
of production cost figures to consider
methods which would maintain the
net farm income at the highest pos
sible point under present depressed
conditions"
