known as a man who lodged the

Lloyd George, the prime minister;

for the colonies, and Lord Birken-

said to have held Collins in the high

Last May it was announced that

and the British forces, Collins was
said to have made his headquarters
in Dublin, although he was prepared
to move hither and thither on the
shortest notice. The royal Irish
constabulary, the black and tans and
the auxiliaries frequently raided pre- |

Super Grade Guernsey
Coming to Dairy Show
Cow With Pedigree, but With Record
655 Pounds of Butterfat Will
be Feature

A super-producing grade Guernsey
will be on exhibition at the National
Dairy Exposition, Twin Cities, Oct.
z to IA. She will compete for show
ring honors in the class for cows with
records over 500 pounds.
Her record is 655 pounds of butter
fat produced in one year-more than
four times the average dairy cow
production for all the United States.
She even surpassed by nearly three
times the splendid average productions
record for animals in COW tsting as
sociations of the United States, which
is 246 pounds Of fat a year.
With butterfat selling for 81 cents
a pound this Guernsey produced $246.-
05 in year. With only eight such
high producing grades, the average
farmer would have yearly income of
$1,968.40.
The farmer working a relatively
small farm which has not been salts
factorily profitable during recent
years will be given the opportunity to
secure some grade seed stock, with
records not lower than 365 pounds,
at the dairy exposition and thus start
building up a herd of dairy cattle
with uniformaly high producing rec
ords.

THIS YEAR

FARMERS ADVISED BY DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE TO
KEEP THE LITTLE ONES"

A statewide movement to create
an active and immediate demand for
Minnesota potatoes promises to ma
terially help growers who find them
selves with large surplus on hand
and a market so low that it hardly
pays for digging and hauling.
Efforts to strengthen buying de-
mand was started in Crow Wing coun-
ty, where, in cooperation with E. G..
Roth, county agent, people of Brain
erd and vicinity, are being urged to
."abuy ten bushels of potatoes" The
idea behind the Brainerd effort is tc
absorb the local surplus and at the
same time give growers a cash mar.
ket.
eff every family in the state with
even average facilities for storage
can be induced to put in their win
ter's supply now, growers would be
materially helped" says ]. F. Reed
president Of the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation. Residents of The
largr cities, especially, should pur-
chase their winters supply at once
and they should demand Minnesota
potatoes. In the smaller towns, local
markets will be strengthened, just as
is being done in Brainerd.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture, which has been especially active
in creating a better potato market, has
issued a statement in which growers
are told that potatoes grading well
above U. S. No. are commanding a
price that can return a profit. The
statement, which is in the forma of a
warning, says there is no INSIDE
dope" as to the potato market, such
as some advertisers claim to have.
An example of the folly of shipping
small potatoes was cited by ]. n.
Hay, Deputy Commissioner Of Agri-
culture, last week when inspectors
reported a car in Minneapolis that
did not sell, simply because it con-
tanned many small potatoes.
Growers must realize," said Mr..
Hay" that they may as well keep lit
tie potatoes at home and use them for
feed. If sound, large stock is ship
ped, the market will be materially
helped"
In the Twin Cities, an organized eff
fort is being made by representatives
of civic organizations, retail merchant
and jobbers to arouse
stimulate buying interest.
1.-TWO things must be done," said
Hal Greer, retail secretary of the st.
Paul Association. Farmers must
realize that the public will not buy
little Minnesota potatoes, when big
ones from other states are on the
market. With potatoes of equal quail
ty available, it will be far easier to
stimulate buyiny interest. -"

next week is a part of the statewide
to aid growers.
