Government Agency, Cooperating
With Farm Bureau, Obtains Low
Fare to Aug. Is

Government employment offices in
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and
Superior, cooperating with the Farm
Bureau, last week sent 1905 farm
hands to Red River Valley and North
Dakota harvest fields. In one day,
the Minneapolis office sent out 391
men.
From August 1 to August Is, in
elusive, farm hands are travelling
from the Twin Cities or the Twin
Ports to northwest harvest fields for
flat fare of $500 man. This rate
was granted by the railroads after
conferences with State and Farm
Bureau officials of Minnesota and
North Dakota, who made representa-
tions showing that drastic fare
reduction was the only way in which
the farm hand shortage could be sat
isfactorily met.
The railroads agreed to carry men
to any point designated by the gov
eminent employment agencies for
$500, provided five or more travel
together.
j. D. Williams, Industrial Com
missioner, directing the free employ
ment service, expects to supply farm
ers with 5000 or more men during

CROP GROWTH IS sruNTEp
WHEN cLops LOCK UP Fool

Clods are the most common cause
Of poor seed beds and the resulting
decrease IN the yields Of many crops,
r. e.. Stephenson. soils specialist at
the College OF Agriculture, is telling
Kentucky farmers In suggestions be-
ing given on soil .tillage. They not
only prevent the termination Of many
seeds. but also result In stunted plant
growth because no ciod gives up it's
plant food to the growing plant until
pulverization takes place, It is said
No matter how fertile the soil is,
field Of clods can never give the
maximum crop yields, Mr.. Stephen
son has pointed out. The ideal seed
bed is one made OF fine soil properly
frmed. he says.
Flowing is an important operation
in the preparation of the seed bed
and the prevention of clods. Early
blowing is best provided it can be
done when the soil is dry. Good
blowing not only will turn under ev-
erything that is one the field, in the
way of manure and plant growth, but
also will crumble and break the soil
so that it will yield readily to tillage.
"As general rule, clods are
caused by tramping over wet field,
blowing or cultivating when the soil
is too wet, and by lack of sufficient
tillage. Working a soil when 1t is
too dry also may cause clod forma-
ton. Tillage operations that give
best results are performed when the
soil is moist but not wet.
Since poor soils usually are clod-
der than fertile ones, one way to rid
a field of these chunks is to use ma
nure and grow more legumes for soil
Improvement. A clover sod nearly al
ways is friable and easily cultivated.
Organic matter and the roots of
plants tend to cause the crumb for
nation necessary to good tlliage.
Freezing and thawing tend to pull
verize clods while the use of lime
stone and wood ashes makes it easier
to crush them. Thorough drainage
improves the filth of wet land and
makes it easier to get rid of clods.

"oIL TESTER BILL
VETOED az MoRRoW


Governor Morrow last week vetoed
House Bill No. 1886. the Strange Oil
Tester and Gauger bill.
He declared that It was fraud,
deception and a political trick of
monstrous side" and as big fraud
as the job of oil inspector has always
been"
The reasons given by the Governor
for vetoing the bill follow:
House Bill No. 1886, known as the
oil inspector or tester and guager
Of oils bill is fraud, a de-
ception and political trick of mon
strous sic. 1t is as big fraud as
the job of oil-inspector always has
been. For years the people Of Ken
lucky have paid horde of men
known as oil inspectors several hun
dred thousand dollars annually in
large, fat, juicy salaries for doing
nothing. No oil inspector was ever
known to inspect oil. He was like
the lilies of the field-he toiled not,
neither did he spin. He was pro-
vided with no apparatus or para
phernalia with which to inspect oil
or gasoline.
1.-THE oil inspectors of Kentucky
were as ignorant of how to inspect
oil or gasoline as George Washing
ton was of how to crank Ford The
Democratic PRESS of the State howl
ed in chorus for their slaughter.
They demand their very life blood.
The High Priests of Democracy de-
manded that they be sacrificed on an
altar to the glory of the party.
when the Democratic Legislature
had this bill it made bungling,
iaughable attempt to fool the people
by keeping the job and duties of oil
inspector just as they were before
but changing his name to tester and
gauger of oil. 1t reduced the salary
of one through spite and malice but
retained the others In all their pris-
tine glory and uselessness."
