Dale was Of the type that goes pale

clenched his hands.
"You can't insult me like that and

going to put licking on you that

He threw aside his coat and rolled

Offers Trees For
Highway Planting

The state forest service is ready to
supply black walnut trees for planting
in state parks and along state trunk
highways as long as supply of 90
600 lasts, Forester w. L. Cox an
nounced this week. About 5000 will
be reserved for the parks, he said, and
the remainder will be distributed for
planting on the roadsides wherever
conditions are favorable to their
growth.
Charles NJ Babcock, state highway
commissioner, approved the proposal,
having previously ordered members Of
his organization to cooperate in saw
ing growing trees and otherwise pre-
serving and enhancing the attractive
ness of the state trunk routes. l.
The walnut trees will thrive in the
right soil in the southern half of
Minnesota and particularly in sections
south of the Minnesota river of which
they are natives, Mr.. Cox said. The
young trees, now about Is inches tall
will be sent to voluntary or other Or
CARNATIONS agreeing to plant and care
for them, he said. They will mature
in about Is years, he added.
Northern Minnesota districts should
plant elms, pines, spruces,. basswoods
and other trees adpted to local condi-
tons, the forester advised: The for
est service is without free supplies of
these but will cooperate toward OBJ
tanning them. - y.

SWEET CLOVER ~. :.
GIVEN BOOST
Two National Figures ReOrganize
Value of Local Grown
Products

Two boosts for Red River valley
grown sweet clover come from an ar
ticle in the last issue Of the Country
Gentleman by DR.. Sydney Gates, an
agriculturist of national reputation,
and from J. II. Howard, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.
Mr.. Howard, while at Fargo short
time ago, claimed that Biennial sweet
clover, which is extensively grown
here, is now being widely used in
Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and all
through the middlewest and the south
and that is is finding favor in the
eyes Of the farmer. He expressed his
intention of ordering some Red River
Valley grown seed for his own farm
in Iowa.
DR.. Gates, after visiting Alabama,
the home Of hubam or annual sweet
clover, states in his Country Gentle
man article that this variety can not
take the place Of the biennial, nor
can it compare with the latter in soil
building, hay and pasture qualities.
The conclusion drawn by Dr. Gates
is that sweet clover has come to stay,
80 far as it's place in diversified farm
ing is concerned, not for seed but for
pasture, hay and green manure values
This information is taken as direct
boosts for this section of the country
as the bulk of the countrys choicest
biennial sweet clover seed comes from
the Red River valley.

RURAL ACTIVITIES AND NEWS
OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER
AGRICULTURAL BLOCS:.
. 1. REAL PURPOSE.

In recent speech in Congress, Sen
ator Capper, of Kansas defined clear
1y the aims and objects Of the So
called Agricultural Bloc. In part the
Senator said:
1.-The credit measure is the only one
susceptible to the accusation of class
legislation, for the reason that it does
attempt to enlarge the banking credit
Of agriculture. AS commerce and bus
mess have, had to have a form Of
banking credit adapted to their needs,
so it is with the farmer. We prob
ably have the finest commercial bank
ing system in the world, with it's 80
day, 6O-day, and 9O-day note, perfect
~ suited to the turnover in CONNER
cial business. The farmers turnover
IS mainly once~in IL months, or in
the case OF stOckmen from / to 3
years. Our commercial system of
credit bills advocated by the ''agricul-
tural bloc" is to create banking ia
cilities for farmers which shall be ad-
Justed to the times and seasons of
their needs; not to give credit where
credit Is not warranted. 1t is be-
lated effort to meet profound need
OF agriculture. It's intent is not to
supply the farmer with more gen
erous line of credit than other indus
tries, but to fill the wide gap that
existed between his industry and the
credit that every other-industry en-
joys. These bills provide for ample
security for every credit the farmer
asks and take notice Of the longer
period Of his business turnover both
as to crops and as to live stock.
Dependent on Soil
National welfare and the Nations
prosperity in business are dependent
on what is produced from the soil
not or 10 years from now, but this
year and next year and every year.
Business should be aiding instead of
fighting it's best friend; should be aid
ing instead Of opposing the efforts Of
farm blocs" in Congress.
"Mr. President, agriculture must
obey the great law of the universe :;
it must adapt itself to modern condi-
lions or cease to exist. l believe that
for the next quarter century the out
standing policy of this Nation should
be the carrying out of great con-
structive program for the encourage
ment and upbuilding of it's farm and
live stock industry. II the measures
proposed for the relief of agriculture
are enacted, they will lay broad
foundation on which may he erected
the worlds best and most enduring
system of agriculture. That also
would mean the upbuilding of what
would be the worlds most enduring
and most widespread and genuine ma
tiOnal prosperity.

EXCESS MOISTURE IN
WHEAT is "DOCKAGE," IN
49, STEVENSON MEASURE

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two principal
changes in wheat grades proposed in
the bill introduced by Representative
Halvor STEVENSON of Crookston are
First, all foreign material in wheat,
except rye, shall be classed as dock
age, and all dockage shall be desig-
mated on the certificate, specifying
kind and quantity, but shall not affect
the grade.
Second, all moisture in excess of
141a per cent shall be designated on
the grade certificate but shall not af-
feet the grade.
n, At present, Mr.. STEVENSON explains,
above one-half Of one per cent of such
weed seeds as wild peas or king head
degrades the wheat to No. 2 and three
per cent to No. 5, or when wheat is
at $3.50 bushel, loss Of 40 cents
a bushel, although the wheat in ques-
ton is in every other respect No. l..
In Canada all foreign material is
called dockage and deducted from the
total weight. On car Of 1000 bu-
shells, three per cent dockage would be
80 bushels deduction, or at $3.50, only
$45, but the difference between grades
j ana D IS ABOUT ~ CeuLS DuSlleI, VI

AS both excessive moisture and
weed seeds can be taken out with
modern machinery at mills or termin-
al elevators at an expense of to 5
cents bushel, Mr.. Stennerson insists
that there is no excuse for grading
down otherwise perfect wheat 40 cents
"a bushel on this pretext.

FARM UNION DUES

Many farmers doubtless believe that
they pay rather large financial toll
for the purpose Of belonging to one or
more strictly farm organizations. A
five or ten dollar bill sometimes looks
rather large and in the nature Of
sacrifice when exchanged for a mem
bership in the Farm Bureau or other
organization. It is our observation
that a large percentage of the fail
ures in farm organizations Of the past
have been due to lack Of finances be-
cause Of insufficient membership fees.
sA farm organization can not be oper-
ated without money. Furthermore,
the more membership costs, the.
chances are the more one will think
81 It and the stronger the organize
stion will be supports The Farmer
