MAKE POULTRY PROFITABLE.

The ordinary farm poultry flock
is not a paying proposition. But it
can be made to be one of the most
profitable enterprises on the farm.
With only a few hours more work a
year the farm poultry flock can be
turned from a gross liability into a
profitable asset.
Realizing that many a poultry
flock can be made to return a profit
rather than loss, the County Agents
feel that something should be done
along this line of agricultural work
and have taken the matter UP with
the Range Poultry Association and
that Association is taking a keen in
terest in the matter. At a recent
meeting of the Directors plan of
work was formulated and substantial
prizes will be offered for the most
profitable poultry fiocks.
The contest this year will begin
March 1st and continue until Nov
ember 1st. After this year the con-
tests will continue from November
1st to November 1st of the following
year and awards will be made at the
annual show of the Range Poultry
Association. Although this contest
has not been officially announced,
sixteen poultry raisers have already
signitied their intention of entering
and records are already being kept.

day at Duluth when the fast Marshall

hard fought throughout. The first
half ended with Marshall Wells ON the

the second half started the Duluth
boys rolled in two baskets within the
first two minutes of play. From
then on Ely hit her stride and made
thirteen points while Marshall Wells
was only able to count one.

Office at Virginia monthly.
These reports will receive close
scrutiny by the Agents and from time
to time helpful hints, ideas, suggest

will be found to be very beneficial
While the reports for the year viii be

serve the purpose intended.
There is no limit to the number

how it can increase its profits.

new PROCESS OF
ORE REFINING
PRESIDENT COLEMAN OF STATE
UNIVERSITY SAYS PROCESS
BEING DEVELOPED.

The life of the iron mining indus
try in Minnesota may be extended
more than $50 years by a new ore
refining process which is being devel-
oped at the state school of mines,
according to L. D. Coffman, president
of the University of Minnesota, in an
address before the annual conven-
ton of the Minnesota Crop Improve
ment Association at the Ryan Hotel
at st. Paul.
President Coffman alluded to the
work of the school of mines during
the course of a plea for recognition
of the fact that money invested in
public education will return enormous
dividends to the state.
= Engineers estimate that under the
present system of mining, the iron
deposits of the state will be exhausted
in about forty years, said President
COtfman. Under present methods
however, a vast amount of ore is
valueless because there exists no prof
liable manner of refining it, he de-
clared
Experts at the State School of
Mines have advanced so far toward
developing this mining system that
they have high hopes of perfecting
a method which will make it CONNER
cially feasible to use all the ore which
at present lies virtually worthless. If
this is accomplished it is estimated
that iron mining in Minnesota will
continue. for about 200 years says
President Coffman.

MINING INDUSTRY
NOW ESTIMATED
so p. c. NORMAL.
INDEPENDENTS REDUCE FORCE
OLIVER RUNNING NORMAL
MUCH ORE ON DOCKS.

(From Skilling's Mining Review)
The iron mining industry of the
Lake Superior region is now esti-
mated to be on a basis of about so
per cent of winter normal production.
The Webb mine of the Shenango
Furnace closed down March 1, leav-
ing the Tioga as the sole active oper-
alton of this company.
There has been a gradual reduc-
ton of activity during the past sixty
days, as far as the Independents are
concerned. The Oliver Iron Mining
Company operations have continued
right through the winter on virtually
normal basis and with unchanged
wage scale.
There is tendency on the part
of some of the independents to take
progressively pessimistic view Of
the outlook. This is the time to
cheer up, for the outlook in the in
dustry in the east is infinitely better
now than at the beginning of this
year. The Improvement which is
beginning to be felt in the East
though slight at present, will be re-
hected back in the mining regions
even more promptly than was the re-
action from top speed during the
final months of 1920.
There may be no call for putting
the mining industry back to normal
for some time, because there is much
ore in furnace yards and on lower
lake docks, but it is encouraging to
know that the big depression which
the country has experienced is be-
ginning to cure itself in the usual
way and with every prospect of a
satisfactory record for despatch.
One of the Independent operators
who depends upon the open market
for selling iron ore, thinks that not
more than 10000, 900 tons will be
shipped from the Lake Superior re-
gion this year. His guess, apparently
is based on the present reduced activ-
ity and the many idle furnaces, but
there is well grounded opinion that
when the iron industry gets going
again that it viii quickly gather mo-
mentum and become very active.
Also that at such time there will be
every assurance of long period of
activity. If such outlook exists be-
fore July 1, there will be $4,000, 900
tons moved this year.
The independent mining companies
are purchasing supplies at present
ona basis of requirements for 90 days
whereas they usually purchase ahead
for three months or more.
These companies also purchased
coal supplies freely for the present
winter, at last summers prices, and
some of the companies have excess
stocks on hand. In some instances
the companies paid s12 per ton for
coal which has since been inventoried
at SIPS.

Friday, won the state honors. The
topic Of discussion was the muchly
contested tonnage tax.
The winner was awarded a gold
medal, by the Manchester College
which has been holding these meets
for the past six years. His school
was awarded bronze shield, with his
and the schools name engraved on it.
The award also carries with it two
year scholarship at Manchester Col
lege.
There were six contestants entered
in the meet, four of them from south
ern Minnesota, who talked for the
tonnage tax measure, and only two
from northern Minnesota, who ar
gued against the bill-Abe Kariinsky
of Eveleth and Miss Amelia Derzai of
Coleraine. Miss Marion Daley of
Mankato won second prize and Miss
Derzai took third.
Miss Pearl Paulson of Chisholm
took first place in the extemporan-
eous speaking contest, held Friday
morning.
: This marks Eveleth's second win
out of three entrances, in 1913, 1919
and 1921. In 1920, William Gal
lagher, representing the Ely schools
took both first prizes for both the
discussion and the extemporaneous
contests with the highest honors ever
secured at these meets.
Not only were the judges and the
audience convinced by the argu-
ments advanced by the Eveleth boy,
but general sentiment was converted
to the negative.
A large crowd of students and
people of the Twin Cities and also the
northwest students at the State Uni
versity attended the meets. The WIS.,
itors were royalty treated by the Mac
alester students and were taken about
the city on sightseeing trips. Ely
failed to land place in the contests
this year, both Marvin Adams who
represented our schools in the dis
cussion contest and Gertrude Porthan
in the extemporaneous speaking. con-
tests at the elimination events held
in this city, secured fourth and third
places.
