APPORTl0NMENT FOR
MARCH Is $l4,ll3.
Increase Of Almost Two Thousand
Dollars Over Last Years
Apportionment

The March apportionment from the
state department for the schools of
Kandiyohi County have been made
public and the allotment for the dist
riots of the county have been sent
out from the County Auditors Office.
The March apportionment, based On
the rate Of 5000 per pupil in the
schools OF the county, totals S14,113.74.
The total enrolment in the schools is
set at 1858 pupils. The apportion-
ment Of March 1921 was $12,2121S and
the rate per pupil was 2.74.. <l
The state establishes a regular rate
for all counties in the state. This
rate however varies in each county
according to the penalty on taxes. In
Kandiyohi County last March the reg
u!ar rate was $3.50. The penalty raj
sed this rate to $2.74. This regular
rate for March Of this year is $270
per pupil and has been increased to
$3.O3. ~
There-are two appointments dur
ing each year. One in March and the
other in October. The one in October
is the larger of the two. Last year the
rate per pupil was $4.20 and a total
sum of $19,562.60 was received by the
county. The amount to be received
in October Of this year doubtless will
exceed the 1921 sum.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Amer
ican Legion in the city in anticipa-
ton of the examination of fourteen
applicants for citizenship in District
Court on Monday of this week had
purchased fourteen silk flags to be pre-
sented to the new citizens. But five
of the applicants passed the examin-
alton. The Auxiliary presented each
of the five men Immediately after their
successful completion of the examina-
ton with one of the silk flags. With
each of the colors was an appropriate
verse of patriotism. The names of
these men are given elsewhere in this

Moving Mills to the South.
The Manchester (New Hampshire)

The Manchester (New Hampshire)
Union announces that the Interna-
tional Cotton company will abandon
its factories in Manchester and trans
fer it's operations from New England
to one of it's Southern plants and
thus comments:
"However, the removal Of the
Stark mill activities from Manches-
ter to one of the Southern cotton
manufacturing cities is not done for
controversial effect. 1t is not a move
in a labor dispute. 1t is public and
indisputable notice by the Interna-
tional Cotton company, owners of
the Stark mill, that they can manu-
facture the former products of the
Stark mill more cheaply, and more
proftably in the South, than in New
Hampshire. Here is blunt, uncom-
promising truth which it is imperative
New England and New Hampshire ac-
knowledge, and take such steps as
may be practical to retard the ten
dency disclosed until interests now
engaged in the manufacture of cot
ton can establish other lines of man.

The Union further observes that
:'th egravity of the situation for the
future of the cotton business in New
England ought to command the most
active and aggressive cooperation be-
tween employees and employers, with
the public militantly insistent that
some end be made to a struggle
which not only imposes huge losses
upon all, including the business pub
lie of the cities affected, but which
menaces the very life of the indus
try from which New England draws
so large a proportion of her income. ;"
It is likely or possible that con-
siderable part of the New England
textile industry be moved to the
South, Columbia and other commu-
mites of South Carolina desiring
manufacturing industries should lose
no time in presenting to the New
Englanders the inducements they
have to offer for them.

Farm Bureau Backs Ford Mus.
Gle Shoal Offer by Cam
paign.

Washington, June ia cam
paign for acceptance of.Henry Ford's
Muscle Shoals offer at this session of
congress was begun tonight by the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
whose Washington representative,
Gray Silver, forwarded to state sec
retaries of the organization cir
cular suggesting that members of
Congress be informed 'in unmistak-
able terms of the sentiment of the
farmers toward the Ford plan.
.There is no assurance" said the
letter, "that the proposal will be still
proffered if it is not accepted before
adjournment. The offer was made
one year ago and the time has come
to say yes or mo- This cause is
worthy of your most active support.
Members of congress cannot reflect
your desires unless YOU tell them in
unmistakahle terms that you want a
vote on the Ford proposal and that
you want it accepted at this session" "
The federation, which under Mr..
Ford's offer would be one of three
farm organizations having member
ship on an administrative board or
ganized to regulate fertilizer sale
and the audit transactions of the
plant, calls attention to the differ
ences that have arisen in the house
military committee over the ques-
ton and suggests that the Gorgas
plant controversy is "not the true is
sue before congress-"
"It has been raised by the Ala
bama Power Company" the circular
continues, (Which is acting as the
mouthpiece of all the special inter-
est groups that are opposed to the
Muscle Shoals development. The real
issue is between the consuming pub
lie and these special interest groups.
"These great interests are the fer
tilizer manufacturers and allied in
terests, the by-product coke ovens
with their related steel interests, the
water power group, the aluminium
monopoly, the chemical combine and
the financial interests"

to say that we have had far more
trouble and been brought to far
greater expense in getting the offend
ers kept in Jail and tried than we have
had apprehending them. Statement
accepted by U. S. Court officials con-
trary to fact, straw bonds, compliant
and Indifferent federal court officers
have in more than one case made con-
viction very difficult and the work at
times very discouraging. In this con-
nection we wish to commend for his
work, interest and encouragement to
US, Major George c. Bowen, Federal
Prohibition Director of Greenville, S.
c., and are encouraged by the full
sentences imposed by Judge H. H.
Watkins of the U. S. District court.
We note the U. S. Prohibition law,
known as the Volstead Act, is being
assailed from many quarters, the lat
est being from Samuel Gompers,
speaking for the labor unions OF the
country with their immense foreign
element who want beer and wines re-
turned to use with all that this means
which is easy to foresee.
We wish to say as result of our
own experience and the best legal
advice, that we believe the Volstead
Law is all right, and we urge our
congressman and our senators to
stand by it and work to have it
strengthened instead of weakened.
We believe if enforced with adequate
penal sentences, it will keep the coun-
try dry for ten thousand years, and
we wish if possible to have the penal
ties increased and stripes instead of
fines put on "frst offenders" as it
seems rarely the case that any "frst
offenders" are ever apprehended.
The one thing needed to accomplish
this is strongly expressed public
sentiment, which is the only power
known to US that will accomplish full
enforcement of any law. We trust
this will so develop and express itself
that the judiciary on the Bench on
both sides the Savannah River will
feel moved to give sentences more
proportionate to the offense than is
now being done.
We do not believe whiskey making
and whiskey selling will ever be Grad
icated when fines are imposed in many
cases so light as to mean no more
than cheap license.
We urge each one of you to un-
failingly do your part toward Great
ing this sentiment, and we put it
upon your hearts as an urgent duty
to your community, yourselves and
your families.

A Crop Assurance for 1922.


A man said to me the other day.
~ amt got no CROP" and true it is
that the lateness Of our crops and the
seriously uncertain outcome of the
cotton crop are making . good many
farmers to wonder whether they will
have crops this summer. Now there
is no earthly reason why, in spite of
the above, every farmer in our land
here can not have an abundant crop
of food and feed and also cash crop
for fall gathering. Here is helpful
lis. All can be planted now.
The tragedy of it all is that in this
country here where such a wealth
of varied and all useful crops can be
grown to find on so large a proper
tion of our farms simply two crops,
cotton and corn, with no legumes
even in the corn.
Corn.
Plant Six-Ear, Golden Beauty,
(yellow) and Mexican June corn.
You can make good crop from
these corns. Every farmer every
where should grow Mexican June
corn. 1t is a fine corn for the barn,
fine for fall roasting ears, and as it
grows fifteen feet high it is a fine
silo or forage corn. 1t is safe trop-
!ical summer corn, very white and
soft and distinct from all of our other
corns. No farmer should be without
a certain amount of Mexican June
corn.
Lookout Mountain Potatoes.
This is distinct sumer planting
potato. Keeps until May unshrunken.
Every farmer in the red hills should
grow it for home use for winter and
for selling in winter to the grocery
store in place of Maine and Western
potatoes. To cut out these transport
ed winter potatoes would give us
tire mendous and profitable industry
here in the South through Lookout
Mountain potatoes if we were only
smart enough to understand it all.
Brown Top Millet.
Your farm carries minus sign be-
fore it if it does not use this finest
of all tropical grazing plants, supe-
rior for hogs, cows and horses. 1t
stools twenty-five or thirty to the
seed, grows in punches, keeps green
until frost, a rapid grower, the best
of all our summer grazing plants.
Drill or broadcast six to ten pounds
per acre.
Sorghum.
Use Amber for forage and Or
ange for forage and syrup. You can't
get along on your farm w.thout
sorghum.
Feter;ta.
Feterita, Kaffir and Milo, all some
what similar, and drilled about ten
pounds per acre, are indicated for
all of our farms. Use it for green
cutting, two or three times; dry
heads are the universal chicken
feed. Cut it, too, green and dry it
for dry forage or when ripe cut and
stack up and use heads, blades and
stalks.
Pop Corn, etc.
If you grow cow peas for hay or
forage always mix one peck of pop
corn. 1t makes better forage and
more forage and cures far more cas-
lily. This combination is really a won
der. The wonder is, too, why so few
people know it.
Velvet Beans.
Tens of thousands of acres of corn
in the land grow no leguminous
crop. 1t is a fault objectionable. Agri-
culture ought to be ashamed of it.
Probably the best intermediary is the
velvet bean either Hundred Day or
Bush Use as soil improver, win
ter grazer, and for the picking in
winter time of the beans to be used
later for feed.
