RIJRAL, ACTIVITIES AND NEWS
OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER
HOLSTElNS TO FEATURE
CLUB WoRKIlN COUNTY
Many Inquiries Being Received At
County Office Concerning Dairy
Projects.

Owing to the number Of requests
which haze been received by p. r..
Houser, county agent. for Holstein
calves it is very probable that the Mar
shall county boys and girls dairy clubs
will be chiefly interested in this breed
of calves in their work this summer.
This does not mean, however, that
other animals may not be raised by the
boys and girls of the county. Guernsey
and Ayshires may also be raised by
the children but Shorthorns will not be
considered, according to the county
agent.
Under the system which will be in
force in Marshall county this summer
boys and girls will be given an Oppor-
tunity to make Il start in dairying with
all Of the advantages of county super
vision as a boys and girls club leader
for the county will soon be on the
ground to take over the work Present
indications are that there will be much
interest throughout the county by the
children from 10 to IS years OF age
who are eligible to the work.
Much has been done in this work in
other states where the boys and girls
calf clubs have not only given the
youthful members much. experience
but also brought them worth while fin
ancial returns. In Iowa an Investment
of 1926 year ago in purebred Hol-
stems brought in returns to the club
members of 50 $50.
In Martin, Tenn. a whole day was
recently devoted to Il boys and girls
Holstein dairy show. The exhibition
consisted If calvnS that tho nIn,OhnrS Of
the local HOlStein dairy club had pur-
chased through the efforts of the
Illinois Central railroad last year The
record of the COW which won first prize
showed that she had produced in eight
months 12.a53 pounds of milk, which
at 30 cents a gallon had brought in
$4S570. The young owner had paid
out $144 for feed which left him a
profit of $341.70 in addition to which
he had a calf valued at 5000.

CHILDREN INTERESTED.

Marshall county is destined to have
some of the busiest boys and girls
clubs lin the state if early spring ac-
tivities may be taken as criterion.
Already the county agent is receiving
many inquiries regarding the work
and an ever increasing interest is being
manifest by the children Of the county.
With the arrival Of the club leader it
is expected that early preparation will
have been we'll under way and that the
work and various individual projects
will be quickly started.

yields well, that escapes the rust and
that has the qualities sought by the
bakers. The Marquis has stood the
test for the millers and it's earliness
makes it safer from rust attacks.
Black rust may strike the wheat crop
any season and exact a toll of a few
bushels an acre, meaning loss of $500
to the quarter section. In 1904 the
shrinkage for the northwest and
Canada was 3OO, OOOO 900 bushels. The
wheat growers must get away from this
calamity. The early sowing of an early
variety is almost a sure way out of the
black rust trouble.
Z We stated above SOW early If,
because of unfav orable seeding weather
or because Of lack of help the intended
acreage cannot all be planted before the
season geets too late, the remainder
should be seeded to another crop, even
though the price Of wheat may be
tempting and the prospect of a good
yield excellent. 1t is better to take a
small net return from some other
crop, than a half crop, or no crop, from
wheat SOwn too late.
To Summarize the Discussion
L. Destroy all weeds possible before
planting.
3 Clean the seed.
;. Treat the seed. !.
4. Test the seed.
5. Plant standard bread-hour
wheats.
6. Plant early and the earliest va
rieties.
Z. Stop seeding before the. season
gets too late.
Conclusion
We have had the satisfaction of
travelling all through the northwest to
study agricultural conditions, and have
found that everywhere conditions are
not satisfactory for wheat raising--the
average is too low, the quality due to
weeds, late sowing and poor varieties
too inferior and the consequent profit
therefore too small. All thinking farm.
ers will bear me out III these state
ments. This is a natural wheat raising
country and will be for all times to
come, provided conditions are made
right. Farming is science and a bust

WAGE SURVEY IS MADE
IN SIXTY COUNTIES
Early Inquiry Indicates Average Of
$2.15 Per Day And $3.50
A Month

Wages paid for farm help in Mime
sofa this summer will average 1915 a
day for day laborers, and $3.50 a
month, according to a statewide survey
just completed by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation.
The inquiry was the first of a series
to be made every month during the pro
ducing season, in an effort to prevent
violent fluctuations in wages and pro
vide steady employment at fair pay,
federation officers said. Statements OF
average wages and conditions Of sup
ply and demand in the farm labor mar
ket will be exchanged with the farm
bureaus of other northwest states.
The first Minnesota survey showed
that while cash wages this year are
from 20 to even 40 per cent lower than
last years scale, there has been little
curtailment in the demand for farm
help. .. ..
South Dakota Wages Same
The survey also showed that most
farmers are offering slightly higher pay
to the men who will work steadily
through the season. The South Dakota
federation. is conducting a similar in
uuiry. returns from IS counties show
the average monthly wage there is Writ
ually the same as it is in this state,
and indicate a supply fully equal to
the demand. '.-
Average cash wages Of $3.50 mean
an actual income equal to $S5. +. L..
French, secretary of the Minnesota
federation. said, when the value OF
board, room and washing provided for
the laborer are considered. The survey
showed that wages range from ST. 20 to
as high as S. a day for especially skill
ed men. and from $50 to $50 a month.

take his losses, curtailing production
and delaying payment of his debts.
This survey shows that the farmer is
doing everything in his power to come
back. He is willing to produce all his
farm can raise and to employ all the
help he can use at reasonable wages.

cause Of different conditions they
meet with, are often at loss what 70
do and how to learn. The immi-
grants admitted under the present
system, she said are really a select

MAY DAY DEMONSTRATION
 IN MEXICO 4 WEAK AFFAIR

MeXlco City, May 1.-Protests against the Imprisonment of radicals in the Unit ed States, Hungary, Spain ard Italy, and demands that the present Mexican gov ernment take definite action with regard to certain labor reforms, were voiced to- day during the May day demonstration by the Confederation of Laborers of Mex ico.
 The parade was disappointing in point of numbers and was lacking ill cpthusi- asm, although several American agitators attempted to harrngue the crowd with a trade against American capitalism. The demonstration started in front of inc Benito Jaurez monument in the center of the city, and after several speakers had addressed the crowd the procession moved to the United States consulate, where a protest was launched against the undem- ocratic policy pursued by the American government, which contemplates not only the oppression Of labor within it's own limits but wishes to embrace the entire world within it's Jurisdiction"
 This sentiment and similar ones voiced by the American agitators. were accepted in silence by the crowd which then marched to the Spanish consulate and inc National palace, where there were more speeches. A labor meeting will be held tonight.

 ON PREPARATIONS QUESTION

London, May 1.-(By The A. P.)-Tbe dec!sion of the supreme council to accent a compromise between the policies of the French and Belgian on the one hand and the British and Italians on the oth- CT in dealing with Germany, was the outstanding development of the confer ence of that body today Last night whsn the members of the council sep 'arated there seemed to be no prospect of middle course.
 All the sentiment of the French camp appeared to be that France had drawn up her programme for marching into the R1ur territory and proposed to 20 her way, with Belgium supporting her re- garf3ess of her allies milder counsel.
 This development is likely to prove a pleasant surprise to the British pub lie. The Sunday Observer this rorning said of yesterdays proceedings: The deadlock was complete" The positicb appeared like a clear breach between the allies, which is the last thing Great Britain wants
 The government has been between twc fires; the liberal press unanimously op posed to further military action, urged the premier not to be led into it by France, while part of the conservative press contende5 that maintenance of th' unity of the allies was the first and af important consideration. The governmen also received from bankers and busire men weighty protests against the Frencl plans on the ground that trade woult be dislocated. and this probably had con siderable influence.
