track will be laid to facilitate the handling of material cars.
 There will be work for everyone who wants it, and no formalities will be observed in the case of those wishing to enter the service. An ap- plication in person is all that is necessary, and the applicant will be put to work on the instant if he so desires. Oldtimers of this district will be given first chance and no attempt will be made to get labor from the coast until the local sup ply has been exhausted. The work available at the present time is ordinary labor but those who show aptitude and fitness for other classes of work later will be so placed from the labor force as the ex- agencies of the service demand. Let 'crn all come", said the capta;2 in conclusion.
 Workmen were busy this morning preparatory to the re-opening of the Alaska Railroad messhouse for the benefit of employees only. The plumb ing has all been thoroughly over hauled and force of men are now engaged in scrubbing out and other wise putting the building in order. The mess will be formally opened on May l.
 The messhouse will be in charge of Ed Monroe as chef, and Time keeper Luekow will exercise general supervision over it's affairs. This system, Captain Jones says, was found to work very satisfactorily at other points. much better than the old method.

TRACK EXTENSION WORK IS
 STARTED ON FRONT STREET

Captain C. C. Jones, superintend- ent of construction, who is in charge of all construction work in this dis trict, has made a commencement with the work of extending the track from the foot of A street to the bridge site, east of town. A force of 37 men were put to work yesterday preparing the ground for the ties and rails.
 In an interview accorded The News representative this morning, Captain Jones said that he is pre- pared to put on a force of so men or more. on Monday, at which time the actual loving of the rails will be taken in hand.
 The preference, aptain Jones says will be given to American citizens. All those who want to work and who are willing and able to perform eight hours labor on the road. will be put to work on application to either Captain Jones or Timekeeper Dick Lukow, who can be found at all times of the day on the work, between A street and the bridge site near the Mission.
 Preparations also are under way for the erection of temporary build ings 10 house a battery of boilers and six 10-inch pulsometers which will be used in connection with the erection of the big bridge. Four old cabins near the bridge site were acquired by The Alaska Railroad this week, the owners being paid very fair price for them. These cabins will be torn down to give place for the temporary structures to be erected soon. The former OWL CTS have been allowed to remove and make use of the logs and other material as they may deem fit, this being quite an unlooked-for con cession on the part of the railroad.
 4 large quantity of lumber for the new buildings, piling for the false work, the pulsometers and the boilers are expected to arrive here shortly from Anchorage. and quite a large labor force will be at work in preparing for the actual erection of the bridge next fall. It IS expect ed that the actual erection will be taken in hand sometime in Novem- Der.
 Concluding his remarks. Captain Jones told The News man that the battery of boilers to be installed at the bridgesite will be of from 300 to 400 horsepower in the aggregate, in order to insure a full steam pres sure at all times when the pumps are in operation.
 Tracks will be laid from 4 street to point near the Mission. where the line will converge toward the projected main line from Fish creek: 2 loop Wi be made there and switch put in, and the track extend! ed to the river bank. Here double

Next Week Poultry Week.

March 10 to March 10 has been de-
clared Standard Bred Poultry Week
in Minnesota by proclamation of
Governor J. A. o. Preus in which he
asks that during the week poultry
breeders, officers and members of
poultry associations and instructors
in agricultural schools and colleges
give special attention to the improve
ment of fiocks by the introduction of
Standard bred stock.
Federal census figures show the
total value of poultry and eggs pro-
duction in the state for 1919 to have
been $40,902,152, nearly half as
great as the value of the entire wheat
crop and more than half as great as
the value of the dairy products Of the
state for the same year.

ACID PHOSPHATE VALUE
TO BE SHOWN In COUNTY
Farm Bureau and West Central
School Cooperate in Expert
mental Plots for County.

To make it possible for more people
to see the beneficial effects of acid
phosphate, approximately forty CO.
operative trials are being arranged
for in all parts of the county. These
experiments will be along the main
roads and signs will explain the ma
ture of the experiment. County Agent
Edison is making the necessary ar
rangements for these experiments on
typical farms and will cooperate with
the Experiment Station workers at
the West Central School in conduct
ing the experiments.
After seven years of continuous ex-
periments with the use of acid phos-
phate the West Central School of Ag-
riculture is convinced that profitable
crop production must include the use
of acid phosphate as a fertilizer. The
soils of western Minnesota are def
cient in the element of phosphorus
which is necessary for the production
Of the crop. A single application Of
acid phosphate at the present market
price, costs approximately $500 and
is good for four successive years be-
fore another application is necessary
has produced an average increase
during the past seven years of 4
bushels per acre of wheat, 4 bushels
of corn, bushels of oats and over
one-half ton of clover. Valued at av.
erage prices, the fertilizer is one Oh
the most profitable investments which
any farmer can make. s. -
Reports summarizing all y of the
work at the West Central Station
during the past several years are now
being printed and will be available
for distribution during the month OF
March. superintendent p. e. Miller
states that it is possible to increasI
the yields of all small grains from
three to seven bushels per acre OF
practically every farm thruout ives

AMONG THE NEWCOMERS,
Illinois Farmer Has Faith in Future
Possibilities of Stevens County

Faith in the present and future
possibilities for the farmer in Stevens
county brought Edward Petra and
family from Montgomery county in
the southern part of Illinois to this
county in August of last year. With
the winters back broken Mr.. Petra
is looking forward to seeding more
than three hundred acres of the 44O
acre farm he is renting on the east
bank of the Pomme de Terre river
about mile east Of Morris.
Mr.. Petra made his first visit to
Stevens county in 1914 and later
spent about year in the county af-
ter which the soil of southern Him
OILS gradually lost. favor in his eyes
and he decided that his future des-
TIMES lay north of the Iowa line
Previous to coming to Stevens coun-
j ty Mr.. Petra had always farmed his
own and other land in Montgomery
county near Hillsboro, the county
seat
! Arriving too late to get all of his
blowing done last fall Mr.. Petra ex-
poets to get on the land early this
spring and plow about hundred
acres for seeding. According to his
present plans he will put in about
100 acres of wheat, 100 acres Of corn
and so acres each of barley and oats.
In his opinion corn is one of the best
crops to raise in plentiful quantities
as it may be used for feeding practic-
ally all livestock on the farm.
The former Illinois farmer is feed
ing 10 head of cattle and ten head of
Horses this winter. Three of the cows
which are Jerseys, he brought with
Finn from his place in Illinois and
Mrs Petra claims that from their
milk comes some of the richest cream
in Stevens county.
- According to Mr.. Petra, one of the
big reasons for his coming to Stevens
county was the fact that land rents
were becoming 50 high in Illinois that
it was practically impossible to real
lie any favorable income from rented
LAND. Here he considers the condi'
tions much more favorable for rent
fers and stated that nothing less than
Iextreme hard luck or starvation
would cause him to leave his present
location. He considers hogs, corn and
) cattle the big possibilities for Stew
ems county farmers and expects to &c
in strong along these lines in the
near future.
Mr.. Petra is not worrying about I
w. w. activities nor other labor prob
= lens as he considers them solved sc
tfar as he is concerned. While admit.
ting that nine pair of feet besides
those of friend wife and his own are
a good many to have beneath the
table he is not worrying about hired
help. He brought six fine boys and
three equally fine girls to swell the
population of Stevens county when he
moved here last August.

O'Con1er of Redwood Falls, speaking
before more than 80 farmers and a
number of business men at an insti-
