PreuS Tells Heen
to Modify Stand
DAIRY COMMISSIONER MUST
STOP ACTIVITY AGAINST CO.
OPERATIVE CREAMERIES.

Chris Heen, state dairy and food
commissioner, was requested by
Governor Preus to discontinue his ac-
tivities against the Minnesota Coop
erative Creameries Association Inc.
Governor Preus' request followed an
investigation into complaints lodged
with him by the Minnesota Co. opera
tive Creameries Inc. on March 10,
charging Mr.. Heen and other mem
bers of his staff with working against
the interests of the cooperative
movement in the state.
At the annual meeting of the asso-
citation on March Z, resolutions were
adopted urging the dismissal of Heen
as State dairy and food commissioner
because of his Opposition to the idea
of cooperative marketing"
In the investigation which followed
the filing of the complaint, Mr.. Heen
stated that at no time was he working
against the interests of the co-opera-
tive movement, particularly as it ap-
plies to the dairy industry, but he is
opposed to section of the contract
that provides for the control and man.

In the letter sent Mr.. Heen the gov

and that he had read many communi-
cations for and against Mr.. Heen's

after the Distinguished authors book
on The Boyhood of Botticelli has ap-
peared in London, he is seen to land
in New York very quietly out of one
Of the back portfolios of the Olympic.
That same afternoon you will find
him in an armchair in one of the big
hotels, giving off impressions of Am
erica to a group of reporters. After
which notices appear in all the papers
to the effect that he will lecture in
Carnegie hall on "Botticelli the Boy"
The audience is assured beforehand.
1t consists of all the people who feel
that they have to go because they
know all about Botticelli, and the peo-
pie who feel that they have to go be-
cause they don't know anything about
Botticelli. By this means the lecturer
is able to rake the whole country from
Montreal to San Francisco with "Bot-
ticelli the Boy" Then he turns round,
labels his lecture "Botticelli the Man."
and rakes it all back again. All the
way across the continent and back he
emits impressions, estimates of ma
tional character, and surveys of Am
erican genius. He sails from New
York in a blaze of publicity, with his
Gordon of reporters round him, and a
month later publishes his book, Am
erica AS Saw It. 1t is widely read
in America

Tale of a Ma
sonic Charm

A congressman, the story goes,
years ago was far from home and got
short of cash. He had a Masonic
charm on his watch chain, and noticed
that a fellow-traveler in the smoker
wore a similar charm. He sat down
by him and said confdentially
Brother, I am up against it. Lend
me 500 till I get home" His casual
travel companion glanced at the
charm, looked him over, and finally
handed him the hundred, which was
promptly returned when the congress
man got home. Recently the two men
met at a gathering of Masons and re-
called the incident.
"Say" said the man who lent the
money, when you met me on that
train I wasn't a Mason at all. l had
found the charm and put it on the
chain. You thought / was a Mason,
however, and | was ashamed to have
you think wouldn't help brother in
distress. But I wasn't Mason then.
"Just between u.s." was the con-
gressman's reply, II wasn't either,
was wearing my fathers watch" -

Deep or Sandy Loan
Best for Potatoes

Outranked only by wheat as hui
man food, the potato deserves careful
seed selection to get as good stock as
possible. To much attention cannot
be given to selecting variety suited
to the soil and local condition, sug-
gests R. S. Macintosh, extension
specialist in horticulture at the Univ
ersity of Minnesota. 1t is usually de-
sirable to have two varieties, one
early and one late, he says.
Although the ideal time to select
seed is while digging the potatoes, it
may be selected from the cellar sup
ply. Potatoes of uniform size, shape
and quality should be selected for
seed purposes, and stored in q cool,
dark place to prevent sprouting.
A deep loam or sandy loan soil well
filled with available plant food is
recommended by Mr.. Macintosh.

Ford and His Payroll

From Washington comes word that
it is beginning to down upon the coun-
try that Henry Ford's recently wide
ly advertised alleged philanthropy in
the form of giving his employees a
five-day week in order that they could
spend an extra day with their fam
lilies was, in point of fact, nothing
more or less than a wage cut of six
teen and two-thirds per cent for all
people working in his plant. Mr.. Ford
announced that the minimum $500
day wage would continue in effect
on the fve-day-week schedule. This
does not change the fact that the
new rule losses each working man
one days pay out of six, or one-sixth
his weeks payroll. It affects 10000
employees and if all of them were
making only the minimum of $6 a
day, it saves Mr.. Ford S36O,OO0 a
week on his payroll. 1t was announc-
ed that he would add 5000 men as a
result of his shortened week, but even
50 this would add only $1,000 a week
to his payroll, laving a net saving
to him of $4,000 a week. Mankato

Unless absolutely necessary potatoes
should not be planted in the same
place year after year, he declares. A
four Of five-year rotation is better.
For very early use plant two or
three weeks before the last killing
frost is expected. This varies with
various sections Of the state. Late
varieties should be planted several
weeks later. Seed treatment is ad-
vised by Mr. Macintosh even if no
disease appears. The most profitable
yields are secured by cutting the
potato in four pieces, each piece
weighing about two ounces. Plant
from three to five inches deep.

State Paving in
fine Condition
REPORTS OF PAVING FAILURES
PATROLMEN OUT ON OTHER
TRUNK ROUTES.

Minnesota trunk highway pave
ments, and especially those laid unde
the present state specifications, cam
through the winter and spring break
up in excellent condition, and rumor
to the contrary which have beel
spread broadcast over the state ar
untrue.
Evidence of the fact is given in al
editorial in The St. Cloud Journa
Press written by Alvah Eastman afte
a personal inspection of the larges
single pavement built last year on th'
trunk system. Reports here are tina
patrolmen and other maintenance
forces are at work over the trunl
highway system to speed restoration
of normal conditions after the spring
thaws.
The Journal Press said:
"There have been reports that
the paving on the Jefferson High
way between Elk River and St.
Cloud did not stand up we'll dur
ing the winter, and is filled with
cracks and breaks.
"a close inspection of this high
way disproves these rumors. AS
matter of fact the reinforced
concrete came through the wint-
er in almost perfect condition.
There is just one small break,
near Elk River, where the road
bed was washed out, under the
paving, but this has been repair
ed, and it would take the most
careful scrutiny to locate it. The
shoulders along the paving laid
last year in a few places were
gulled by the heavy snow, when
melting, but there was no dam
age to the paving, and caretakers
have remedied this slight damage.
Considering the heavy traffic,
by trucks, busses and automobiles
during most of the winter
months. the paving shows most
gratifying staying qualities. The
first year is the hardest, and in
the light of this experience rein
forced concrete we'll made can be
pronounced a 100 per cent sue
cess"
A bulletin this week by the state
highway department states that the
trunk highways generally came
through in good shape, all conditions
considered. Patrolmen are getting
them dried and smeothed and the Big
oest trouble has been on some Sec
tions improved during the winter to
relieve unemployment.

interest to the stockholders, patrons

says;
The Granite City Cooperative
Creamery association, an organization
OF farmers and dairymen in theScity OF
Barre. Vermont, claims the distinction
Of being the only enterprise OF its
kind in the United States which ac-
cepts only the milk products OF tt-
berculin tested cows 1t is obligatory
that every COW whose milk is permitted
to enter this creamery shall have been
subject to the examination OF an OF
fetal veterinarian operating under

the self-styled slogan, "The Creamery
with a Conscience"
The unchallenged distinction OF tins

Of a stubborn organized effort in com
batting bovine, tuberculosis, Sixteen
carloads Of dairy cattle. all told, were
consigned to the shambles, and 319

I fit for human consumption The dis
ease was found to be in advanced
stages in many instances. Dairymen
suffered severe temporary reverses
when It was revealed that fifty per
cent Of their herds reacted to the tu-
bercnlin test. The crusade against an
imal tuberculosis, however, has been
characterized as one partaking Of mill
tary precision, and the bludgeon Of
warfare was mercilessly applied in the
complete removal of the menacing boz
vine lnalady.
The enterprise, beginning operation

profitable business in the manufacture
and marketing Of butter, cheese, and
ice cream Milk from this establish
ment ii largely disposed Of in Brook
fine. Mass, while considerable guam
titles of sweet cream and milk are
. shipped To other towns in Massachu-
setts. The creamery is owned and
operated BY farmers and dairymen.
Such ownership is prompted by a de-
| sire to control the manufacture and
marketing Of the product in which con-
fidence Is unimpaired with respect TO
the wholesome and sanitary condition
of these dairy products.
The uprooting Of the menace Of dis.
ease has paid in dividends within a
