Mild Winter Slated

Never mind worrying over the coal
shortage; we're in for a long fall and
a moderate winter.
This prediction is authentic in that
it comes straight from Commodore
Samuel N. Ewing, who has had close
to forty years experience prognosti-
eating the weather by moon phases
and the direction of the wind at the
equinox.
The coming fall, he says will be
ideal. There will be a little frost, but
temperature will continue mild until
the middle of October. Lakes will not
freeze over until December A.
In his forty years of long-distance
weather prophesying Commodore
Ewing declares he has been right
eight times out of ten. In September,
1920, he predicted an exceptionally
mild, open winter and he was right.
While the moon phases, indicate a
mild winter as we'll as a mild fall, a
detailed forecast of the wind can not
be ventured before September %, said
Commodore Ewing. If the wind hap
pens to be from the south at. that time,
it surely will be an open winter, ne
asserts.

a greater interest in diversified farm
ing, and what the leaders in the move
ment plan for the special week will be
coming weeks.
The proclamation of the governor
is as follows:
"The people of Minnesota have just
garnered a bountiful harvest. But as
often happens, large yield is accom-
panied by falling prices which greatly
reduce the farmers reward for his
seasons labor.
This year, as often before, many
farmers find that production of grain
and hay is profitable only if they are
fed to livestock.
In periods of low prices, just as in
periods of poor yields, farmers who
practice diversified farming to the
highest degree suffer the least. There
has been ample evidence to this dur
ing the business depression of the last
two years.
The production of milk, cream and
butter, beef and pork, mutton and
wool, eggs and poultry, has relieved
the farmers in many sections Of the
state from the uncertainties of one
crop farming. 1t has given farmers
a steady income in place Of one that
is seasonal. 1t has stopped the de-
pletion of soil fertility which is a
certain result of grain raising.
We have made splendid progress in
dairying and diversified farming, yet
many communities have not realized
in full the benefits they might derive
through using the methods best suit
ed to the locality.
Now, therefore, l., J. A. O. Preus,
governor of Minnesota, do hereby pro-
claim and designate the week of Sept.
25 to Oct. 1st., as Diversified Farming
week, and urge it's observance
throughout the state.
Each community during the week
should make a survey of its resources
and the present farming methods and
make plans to increase the farmers
income by encouraging diversity OF
production and by converting great
er portion of farm crops into meat
and dairy products. Since all our
people are dependent upon the pro-
sperity of the farmer, civic organiza-
| lions and commercial clubs should CO.
operate with the farm bureaus in ar
ranging meetings to promote better
farming.
/ wish, in this connection, to invite
attention to the annual Minnesota
State Fair, Sept. 2 to 9, and to the
National Dairy exposition, to be held
at the State Fair grounds Oct. 20

Diversified Farm
Week" Proclaimed
GOVERNOR J. A. o. PREUS PRO-
CLAIMS WEEK OF SEPT. Is AS
DIVERSIFIED FARMING WEEK"

Governor J. A. o. Freus has pro-
claimed the week of September 25th.
to October LIST. as Diversified Farm
ing Week" in Minnesota. &,
The aim of this movement is said
to be the directing of the thought OF
the people of the rural communities,
and especially the farmers, to the
needs and benefits of more diversified
farming, and especially the larger de-
velopment of the dairy industry OF
this state.
The term "dairy industry" in re-
lation to the Diversified Farming
Week is used in its widest sense and
really includes several branches OF
farming, cattle, hogs, milk, poultry,
corn and alfalfa, all of which are real
" inseparable and combined in the full
development of dairying for some OF
these are bi-products of successful
dairy farming, or, allied with it SO
closely that both branches yield larger
returns when worked together.

fish life in the waters, without In
juring any of the. AUDITING land.
A letter from Commissioner Avery
however, would indicate that even
though this be the case, that he still
has troubles on his hands. AS yet he
has been unable to arrive at a salts
factory settlement with the parties
who control the water rights at Cur
RE. He is also having some trouble
satisfying a few lake shore owners.
He states, however, that he hopes to
have these differences ironed out IN
the near future so that the dam can
be, completed this fall. -
Without the raising of the waters
this fall the Commissioner is of the
opinion that all fish life will be des-
troyed and that the lake will be
ruined for several years.
The sportsmen of Tracy, Lamber-
ton, Marshall, Currie and Slaytons have
already passed resolutions in favor OF
damming the lake and holding the
waters to their proper level.

: LAKE RAISING SETBACK

The much discussed and hoped for
project of improving Lake Shetek by
means of raising the water level to
point some two and a half feet
above it's present level, has apparently
hit a snag, according to Carlos Avery,
State Game and Fish Commissioner.
For several months passed, engi-
neers for the state have been survey
ing the lands adjacent to the lake, in
an effort to find water level that
would raise the lake to it's proper
level and still not overflow abutting
lands. This point has been found
and according to the engineers in
charge the lake can easily be raised
