Farm~Bureau Notes

Poultry breeders of Morrison county
are laying plans for poultry show to
be held this winter.
Susan A.. Hough, home demonstra-
tion agent, in her work throughout the
county in culling and feeding has de-
veloped keen interest in better poul-
try. The state fosters better poultry
through appropriations to counties
which have associations by giving
nearly $400 in prize money, where
shows are held.
More than sixty winter shows are
held throughout the state each year.
Morrison county bird fanciers are de-
termined to place this county among
the leading ones Of the state and to
start the ball rolling have called a
meeting at the City Hall in Little
Falls on Wednesday,, December 2l at
2 o'clock for the purpose of organic
ing a poultry association and making
plans for a winter show. Everyone in
terested in better poultry is requested
to attend this meeting and make it a
success.
The 1920 census shows the total val
ue of poultry and eggs in Minnesota
as $3O,7OO,0O0 while dairy products
were $77,80O,OO0. These figures show
the Importance of the poultry industry
and with present prices are about the
only profitable farm business besides
dairying.
Many inquiries are coming to the
Farm Bureau office from different parts
Of the state for car lots~of corn. Farm
ers or communities having car lots for
sale should get in touch with the
County, Agent.
A new lot of farm account books
and dairy record blanks and books
have just been received at the Farm
Bureau office. Farmers wishing these
records should notify the County
Agent.
Tankage as feed for hogs. Many
Of the swine breeders are contemplate
ing the purchase of car lots of tank
age to use in feeding brood sows dur
ing the winter. Tankage is a concen-
trate carrying over 16 per cent pro
trein and is valuable as supplement
taryl feed to corn in wintering over
brood sows. Corn lacks the necessary
protein to produce strong litters.
While the addition of s to 10 per cent
tankage to the ration will give the
necessary protein and result in larger
boned and stronger pigs. The expert
ments carried on at 4 experiment sta
tions, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio and Iii
nois shows that in the fattening pen, ]
pound Of tankage takes the place Of
7.6 pounds of corn, thus cheapening
the ration and giving larger returns.
Orders for tankage may be left at the
farm bureau office up to December "a.

PLANS READY FOR
FIRST ST. PAVING
STATE CoMMBsIoNER PROPOSES
REVISED GRADE+sTATE
TO MAKE FILL

with the hard-surfacing Of Trunk High
way No. 81 from Royalton to Little
Falls call for the paving Of First
street southeast in this city up to
Second avenue, where the present paw
ing ends. The state will pay for IS
feet of paving, but the, plans call for a
38-foot paved roadway from Aspen or
Eighth avenue up to Second avenue,
for which there is now a petition On
file with the city council. At the ad-
journed meeting Of the council next
Monday evening Engineer Viner ex-
peets to be present and explain the
state plans and specifications to the
aldermen, as they must approve same
before the highway commissioner will
consider same part Of the general
plans. f.
The state plans and specifications
show a proposed shifting of the center
line Of the street Is feet east, from the
Second avenue. The revised grade
calls for a cut ranging from about
three feet just south of Second avenue
down to few inches near the Aspen
avenue intersection. Sufficient dirt
will be available as a result Of the re-
vised grade to make the necessary fill
on the west side Of First street be-
tween Second and Fourth avenues, es-
timated at 1921 yards. The estimat-
ed cost of. making the fill is approx
mately $1,000. Since there is nothing
in the plans or specifications to indi-
cate that the fill is a special job to be
paid by this city, it is taken for grant
ed that the state is to pay for same.

Chronic Office Seeker"
(Rutland IRrald1

Commenting on the proposed candidacy
of J. Rolf SearleS of st. JOhnSbury for
attorney general, the Brattleb0ro Re
former makes a reference to his being n
chronic Office seeker" which brings forth
a protest from a ncighbor of the accused.
Justifying the term, the Reformer refers
TO various political offices held by a for
mer partner of Mr. SearleS, r. w. ST.
mOnS-nOt at all in pOint-and continues
I'm 1914 ]. Rolf Searles was the Re
publican candidate for town representa-
tive from st. Johnsbury and was de-
feated. In 1917 he was elected a member
Of the state Republican committee, scrv-
ing as its chairman until 1920. In 1920
he was Republican candidate for state
senator in the primary election and was
defeated. In 1921 he is a candidate for
attorney general. We submit this record
in justification of the words, chronic
office seeker 1t also indicates that Mr.
Searles is not a successful candidate in
his home town and county where he is
best known"
There may be other good reasons why
Mr.. SearleS should not be nominated as
the Republican candidate for attorney
general. but the foregoing is too thin {;
it won't wash" The fact that he was a
member of the Republican state commit
tee, and its chairman, does not indicate
untitness but loyal, diSintcreSted party
service. His defeats for other offices prob
ably are explained more or less by local
conditions. First-clasS men are fire.
quently defeated by second-cass and
third-class men, especially on the East
side of the state and it should not be
held up against those who were defeated,
rather the contrary.
Caledonia and the second district gen
orally may or may not decide to make
Mr.. Searles a candidate for attorney gem
eral and he may or may not be worthy to
oppose the incumbent of the office. Frank
C.. Archibald. whose announcement has
already been made, but The Herald has a
notion that some better reason must be
adduced than that put forth by the Brat
tlcb3r0 contemporary.

THE NEW WORD.

1t might have been supposed, from the
raging passions of the past two years that
the controversy over the league of ma
tions would break out anew along with
current discussion of an international
Association" 1t has not, and does not
seem likely to. for the excellent reason
that the friends Of the league are nearly
all showing themselves friendly to the as
ISOLATION.
Supporters of the administration natur-
ally support the Presidents plan for an
informal association. and former cham
pions of the league plan have mostly
given up hope of joining it, for the pre-
sent ar least, and are content to accept
an association a. a step in the right direc-
ton.
The new word. nevertheless. is not
Association" big as that looms in the
present discussion. The important fact
Just now is the way in which the lately
divided nation is getting together on a
plan of international action. Nearly
everybody has come at last to see that
either for the worlds salvation or for
the welfare of America. there must be
mutual ~heIpfulness and concerted action
among the nations "Co-operation" is
the new word.
