BIG FUND AVAILABLE
 FOR ALASKA TRAILS

The Secretary of Agriculture has approved the apportionment of the bal anCe of the recent Federal Road ap- propriation, giving Alaska $50, ,222.00 from the Forest Development fund in addition to the $97O, O,27100 from the Forest Highway fund already allotted
 It is expected that this additional money will be used almost entirely for trail construction work to open up in accessible areas to prospectors and other forest users. In addition to this fund, the Forest Service will have about $29,OO00O from other appropria- tions, making total of approximately $79, 100000 available for trail construc- ton within the National Forest areas of Southeastern Alaska during the next two year period.
 Plans for using this money are not yet ready for announcement. A list of projects has already been prepared which will more than use up the entire amount. It will be the object so far as possible to select projects which are of the greatest value to prospec- tors and other forest users in the de velopment of forest resources.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 17.-General John J. Pershing has augmented his contribution of Philippine bird skins presented to the state museum of the University of Nebraska several years ago, by collection of Philippine war implements, accumulated by the gen. eral during his various army maneu- vers in the islands.

Forest officers are interested in the Boy Scout anniversary for the Scouts are coming to be recognized by the forest rangers as allies in the fire campaign that is being waged on the national forests of the northwest. Re ports received by the district forester from the twenty-tWo forests i'll Ore gon and Washington show that Boy Scouts use portions of twenty of these national forests each summer for hik ing or camping trips. On some for ests the Scouts have taken very active part in fire prevention and fire suppression, realizing that this denotes a good woodsman.
 These reports show that Boy Scouts are coming to appreciate the national forests, from the Crater for est in southern Oregon, to the far away Chugach forest. in Alaska. In southern Oregon, Boy Scouts from Medford and Ashland have taken hikes into the Crater forest, camping for ten days at some of the mountain lakes in the Cascades. From Grants Pass Scouts take trips into the Sis kiyou forest. From Lakeview the Scouts have taken trips to Dog lake on the Fremont forest In eastern ,fo ly enjoy an outing at Lost lake on the Deschutes forest, while the Scouts from Halfway and Baker have used the Whitman forests i'll past seasons.
 The Hood river Scouts go to Lost lake, while at Wahtum lake. on the Oregon forest, is permanent Boy Scout camp where large numbers of Portland Scouts annually enjoy swim ming and other summer pleasures and where many a Scout has come to know that the forest rangers will be his friends if he is careful at all times with his campfire
 From the state of Washington come reports of extensive use of the na- tional forests by Scouts each year. Scouts from Seattle and Everett an- nually spend some time in the Tyree, Mt Pilchuck and Pratt lake regions on the Snoqualmie forest The Ta- coma and Yakima Scouts use the Rain fer forest, the Yakima boys having camp on Indian Creek, in the Tie ton river country. In the spring of 1920, forest officers on the Rainier forest wrote a playlet especially for Boy Scouts, called "The Flame in the Forest" which was successfully per- formed by Scouts several times in Ta- coma and nearby towns.
 Bellingham Scouts have gone into the high country of the Washington forest often camping at elevations of 5000 feet. The Wenatchee forest is usually visited each summer by Scouts from Wenatchee, Cashsmere, Leavenworth, Ellensburg and Gle Elum. The Scouts and the forest rangers are usually good friends and help each other, Wenatchee officers report. So interested are some Scouts and Scout Masters in the protection of the forests from fire that some field officers of the forest service have recommended that Scout Mas ters be appointed as fire guards.

SUPERINTENDENT APPROVE
The plan of choosing county sup
eTintendents by county board is ap-
proved, not only by educational lead
ers throughout the country, but also
by many superintendent in Minneso-
ia. The plan suggested for this state
it is understood, makes all existing
superintendents eligible to continue
in Office. A few statement by present
superintendent are typical Cd 'It
will give both incentive and oppor-
tunity for professional advancement
for county superintendents, making
this Office profession instead of
political football, as it now is"
~ II have advocated such plan
for a number of years and hope it
will finally be adopted in this state"

Early Seeding, Better Yields

Experience has shown that winter
rye and winter wheat yields are in
creased by early sowing.
I'm the northern part of the state
the last week in August or the first
week in September gives better
stands and better yields than late
seedlings" says A. c. Army of the
division of farm crops and farm man
agement, University of Minnesota.
''In the central and southern parts
of the state" he adds, seedlings may
be made up to September Is to goth
under conditions favorable for ger
mination and growth with as good
results as early seedlings. Winter
grains sown the latter part of Sep
TENDER and during October may be
expected to yield considerably less
per acre than seedlings made at the
proper time.
With good, clean, we'll graded
seed available, "a pound of winter
rye or 80 pounds of winter wheat
per acre are sufficient"

ALL PARTIES BACK
RURAL CREDITS ACT
Politics Plays no Part in Campaign
For Amendment No. /; Every
Platform For It

Minnesota voters this year will
have the unusual experience of pass
ing judgment on a measure that is
sponsored by every political party in
the state.
This measure is constitutional
amendment, which comes up at the
general election on Nov. z. Amend
ment No. 1, the rural credits amend
ment, has the outspoken endorsement
of every party. The platforms of
the Republican, Democratic and
Farmer-Labor parties approve it in
unmistakable terms. Politics plays
no part in the campaign now under
way in Minnesota to obtain passage
of the amendment.
Leaders in the campaign for the
amendment are emphasizing that the
measure is designed to develop the
prosperity of the whole state, with
out one cent of cost to the taxpayers.

Heavy Weights Not Wanted.

The day of the heavy weight has
passed." says e. F. Ferrin ofsthe an
imal husbandry division of the Uni
versity of Minnesota in referring to
conditions and demands of the meat
trade. Light weights are easily
disposed of, while heavy carcasses
are hard to move. Overweight lambs
have long been heavily penalized in
price when sent, to market, and the
same condition prevails with hogs
and cattle. 1t does not pay, any
weight than is necessary in getting
his stock in fairly well fattened con-
dition. Only about Is per cent of
the market demand is for steers
weighing more than 1900 pounds.
And to sell we'll these must be good
to choice beeves offered during the
holiday season. Yearlings weighing
900 to LOO pounds, often termed
baby beef, are the desired kind, and
more recently $50 to 900 pound
weights are in demand.
"a three dollar spread between
prices for butcher hogs and smooth
heavy sows has frequently prevailed
on the South St. Paul market this
summer. The difference last winter
amounted to approximately 81 to
$3.50 per hundred during the season
when packing house stocks are being
laid in. No one can escape the YER

,"Hogging Down" is the Cheapest.

Each year witnesses a large in
crease in the number of hogs finished
on corn by the "hogging down"
method, says N. X. Carnes of the
animal husbandry division, Univer-
sity Farm. There are several ad-
vantages to this system of pork pro-
duction, he believes. 1t eliminates
expense and labor connected with
the harvesting of corn and most of
the labor connected. with the feeding
and care of hogs by other methods.
employed at other work of which
there is always an abundance during
the fall of the year.
"The hogs can be turned in the
cornf1eld as soon as the corn is we'll
denied" says Professor Carnes. IF
the cornfield is a large one, it should
be divided, and the smaller fields
hogged off one at time. This will
prevent the wasting of corn by it's
being knocked down all over the
field before the hogs can consume it.
The 'hogging down method con-
serves manure by spreading it on the
field while fresh, thus avoiding the
loss of plant food by teaching.
Experiment conducted at the
University of Minnesota do not show
an increase in the daily gains where
the hogs are allowed to harvest their
own corn in comparison to hand
feeding, but larger profit results
by the former method, due to the
saving of labor"

COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM
ELIMINATES POLITICS
Superintendent of Schools Named by
Board of Education in
New Plan

/ The county-unit system proposed
for Minnesota by the educational
leaders of the state will, through the
naming of the county superintendent
by a county board of education, have
the recognized advantage of removing
that important school leader from
politics.
Under the present plan of popular
election, it is said, there is too much
chance in the choice of that officer.
The present law in Minnesota limits
the selection to the county and the
few who will go through the dangers
of political campaign, places no
adequate professional or educational
standards upon the candidate, sand
obliges him to spend two or four
months every few years electioneer-
ing to keep his place. BY this meth
cd an efficient officer frequently
loses his position, and the county
loses good executive. Experience
shows that board, better than a
mass of voters, can learn the needs
of a county and get the right person
for the Office. When a capable sup
perintendent is secured his tenure, it
is believed, should continue with
good work.

SUPERVISION PROVIDED

Much of the efficiency of city
schools is due to the organization
and supervision. Both may be pro-
vided for rural schools by the coun-

fairs mainly in the hands of small
board, who, with the county superin-
tendent, small group of supervisors,
a helping TEACHER, and the rural
school teachers make a complete,
