FILED
FOR PICNIC PARTY

Four complaints were filed in the
city court this morning, one each
against B. M. Potter, Jesse Winburn,
Georgia Coffee and Frank P. Far
rell, for disregarding city ordinance
No. 73S, which prohibits people from
picnicking above the intake of the
city water works.
The complaints were filed by Of
ficer Fred Carlton, who is on duty In
the canyon to prevent any picknick-
ing in the watershed Of Ashland
creek. He found the picnic party at
the end of the road, some two miles
above Sap and Salt.
Others in the party besides those
complained against, and who were
guests at Sap and Salt at o'clock
breakfast and O'Clock dinner, were
DR.. and Mrs. F. G. Swedenburg and
daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank P
Farrell, G. A. Briscoe, Mrs. Lance
Briscoe, Miss Geraldine Ruch, Mrs
Miriam Shepherd and daughter
Mrs. Charles Loomis and Mrs. c. d
Wineland.
The filing of the above complaints
is to settle the question as to who
has supervision of the Ashland creek
canyon, the government through the
forestry service, or the city of Ash
land, which gets its water supply
from the watershed in which the
picnic was held. The case will un-
doubtedly be appealed and carried to
higher court, regardless of which
side is given the decision in justice
court.

CEMENT CONCERN
PLANS HUGE PLANT
NEAR GRANTS PASS

GRANTS PASS, Oct. 1O.-An in
dustry, utilizing one of the great
natural resources Of Josephine coun-
ty and placing a payroll of from
$4,000 to $4,000 a month in the
vicinity of Grants Pass, was made
public Monday, when bids for the
construction of over four miles of
railroad were called for by the Bea-
yer Portland Cement company. The
new line will extend from Cheney
creek to Wildeville to connect up
with the California and Oregon coast
line, bringing the great Cheney creek
lime quarries into production. A
plant may be erected adjacent to
Grants Pass when the railroad, to be
known as the Marble Mountain rail-
road, is completed. The whole pro-
ject will necessitate the outlay OF
some $1,5OO,O0O.
The new enterprise will bring
nearly 100 new families to Grants
Pass and provides a large increase
in the monthly payroll. It will be-
come one of the leading industries
of Josephine county through the
utilization of the great limestone
deposits, which have previously been
unproductive except in small way.
1t is probable that active work will
be seen within the next few months,

THE LAND WATERSHED
CONTROVERSY

The test case involving the arrest
of Jesse Winburn and party for pic
nicking in the Ashland watershed
will prove of great good in determ-
lining the jurisdiction of the city of
Ashland outside of the city limits in
the Ashland watershed. Among law
yers this has been a mooted ques-
tion, many good lawyers contending
that the city Of Ashland has no juris-
diction over the canyon outside of
the city limits, and off city-owned
ground, while others contend that
the city's jurisdiction extends to the
ultimate limits of the watershed for
protection Of the city water supply
1t Is a legal question that has never
before been tried out, and one that
should be finally settled.
The offense, in itself, has no sig
nificance. The matter was arranged
specially for test case. Attorneys
and officers we're present to witness
the offense and arrests the offend
ers, and Miss Coffee. manager Of the
Ashland Tidings, was present in the
capacity of reporter in order that
the newspaper might have first hand
information as to just what was be-
ing done.
The case will go to the higher
courts as 1t should. so that the jur-
isdlction may be finally and plainly
settled.

sow

Hand County produced more alfalfa
seed in 1920 than ever in the history
of the County. On the other bend.
word is being received to the effect
that more alfalfa will be seeded in
1922 in this County than was ever
sown in any n year before.
This spirit is not only local. In
every state farmers are making ar
rangements to plant leguuie crops.
The main reasons are to build hip the
soil and to plan for increased acre
production when prices for other crops
become adjusted with other commod-
tiles.
Alfalfa is the most profitable le-
gume. While it Is enriching the soil
II is bringing in returns. 1t makes a
splendid hog pasture, ran be cut for
hay or the first cutting removed and
the crop left for seed. The general
utility of the crop is what makes 1t
such a valuable one. One-third OF the
LAND under cultivation on every farm
should be in alfalfa.

u. s. GRAIN GROWERS SIGN
UP 90,OO0,0O 0 BUSHELS

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 13.-With more
than 80, 0OO, 900 bushels of grain under
contract, a membership of $4,000 and
862 elevators signed up, u. S. Grain
Grower solicitors have returned to the
field after a holiday vacation, deter
mined to push the membership 10 3d.
900 and the bushelage to 100000, 600
before January II. On that date, the
national headquarters will begin send
ing out notices of local, congressional
and national meetings to be held in
February and March. Farmers, to par
ticipate in these meetings, must join
before January II.
In the Northwest, interest in or
ganization of the grain growers con-
tered around the state conventions OF
the Farm Bureau F~ederations in South
Dakota and Minnesota; particularly in
the latter state, because of strife that
marked steps leading up to the mem
bership work, now under way.
j. S. Jones, state organization direC-
tor, presented the plan of the Grain
Growers to the Minnesota convention
Dirt farmers" he said, ARE support
ing the Grain Growers as a sales
agency that will solve their grain
marketing problems despite delays
personal animosities and other retard,
ing influences"
The Convention adopted a resolu,
ton giving the U. S. Grain Growers
an unqualified endorsement and urg.
ing Minnesota farmers to support the
membership campaign.

Farmers always welcome the arrl-
val of new neighbors. They like 10
see the country more densely settled
They encourage their sons TO settie
down on adjoining farms. n city
man is quite different. He views win
concern the entry of a competitor into
his trade territory.
1.-The farmer has felt justified In the
past because the increase in popula-
ton brought increased land values
However, in order to profit by thls
increase in the value of land ne mas
to sell his farm and go out OF business
In the meantime the extra interest
charges increased his costs and
it difficult for him to compete with
men on lower priced land.
I'VE are coming to realize That al
men who produce wheat, whether they
live in the United States, the Argen-
tine, Australia, or Roumania, compete
against each other in the world mar
ket. Obviously those men who lower
their costs, who organize mi manage
their farms economically and efficient
ly, are the ones who receive the great
est financial returns. 81
THE farm account book offers the
best possible basis for studying the
farm business to increase efficiency
and profits"

PRODUCTION PROFITS In
USING PUREBRED SEEDS

Brookings, s. d., Jan. 11.-"Many
South Dakota crop growers are over
looking the possibilities of economi-
cal and profitable production by their
failure to use the best seed of the
proper varieties" states Ralph e.
Johnston, extension agronomist at
State college. "The different varieties
of any n farm crop are known to
product differently. To secure the
best seed of the proper variety should
be the aim of every grower. The extra
price for this class of seed is far be-
low its producing power. A start car
be made with a small amount and the
increase is rapid. County agents and
the State college extension service are
in touch with sources Of good home
grown seed of the best varieties and
are anxious to help all growers want
ing this kind Of seed stock"

OVERCROWDING PULLETS
is CAUSE OF DISEASE

Brookings, s. d., Jan. lift more
pnllets have been raised than the
poultry house will hold without crowd
ing, 1t will be profitable to Gull
out the small, ~undeveloped ones than
to run the risk of getting disease in
the fiock,' suggests Clara M. Suffer
extension specialist at State College.
When overcrowding conditions pre-
vail, unless h house is exceedingly
well ventilated, one of the most fire.
quent results is an outbreak of roup.
Three of four square feet of floor
space should be allowed for each bird
in order to give plenty of room for
exercise. II the well developed pullets
can be placed in one house and the
backward ones in another, both lots
will do better than If kept together,
for then the feed a be regulated to
suit the needs of each flock"

STRONGER TREND TO
LIVE STOCK VALUES
Cattle Market Generally Strong To 25c
or More Higher-HOgs Closing
Fully 75c to S1!00 Up For
The Week-Sheep and
Lambs Also Gain

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 7, 1922.
With generally light to moderate
receipts the cattle market has given
a good account Of itself this week,
prices being on a generally strong to
Csc or more higher basis compared
with a week ago. Dressed beef trade
has been quiet and Of small proper
lions but country demand for stockers
and feeders is absorbing a larger per-
Centage of receipts than normally and
has been the main sustaining factor in
the market.
Receipts have included no good or
choice beef steers. A fair showing of
shortfed steers of a medium beef
grade have sold from $3.50 to $3.50,
with the bulk of beef steers at the
close from $500 to $6.25. Best offer
ings of butcher she stock have found
ready sale at $3.50 to around $3.50,
with bulk of butcher cows and heifers
selling from 1925 to $5.25. Gamers
and cutters have moved largely at
1926 to $500 or slightly better. Be-
logna bulls sold all week on an active
market, closing larged at $500 to
$3.75. Veal calves closed with bulk
of best lights at $500, some extra
choice vealers up TO $7.75, showing a
loss of soc for the week. Stockers
and feeders are strong to Csc higher
than a week ago with bulk of sales
at $3.50 to $3.50, the cheaper kinds
showing most gain.
Strength has been noted in the
weeks hog trade, prices closing fully
75c to $1.00 above a week ago. Good
butcher hogs at the close $7.35 to
$3.50, light sorts around $500, heavy
packing sows $500 to $3.50, pigs $3.50.
Sheep and lambs are closing %unevenly
25c to $500 higher for the week, good
and choice fat lambs quotable $1,000

LYON PLAN REFERRED TO AGRI.
CULTURAL CONFERENCE

The Lyon plan of price sterilization
of farm products was not officially en-
dorsed by the South Dakota Farm
Bureau convention. Mr.. Lyon was
given a respectful hearing, but upon
the recommendation of the marketing
committee, it was voted that his plan
should be referred to the national ag-
ricultural conference called by Presi-
dent Harding with the request that
the conference lake such steps with
it as may best promote American pros
perity, giving due consideration to all
other plans presented.

The School Lunch-As important as
knowing what to put in the lunch for
school children is knowing how to
pack the lunch so that il will keep
fresh and tasty. Metal boxes or pals
are the best because they can easily
be cleaned and scalded to keep them
I'm a safe condition. There should be
no part of the container which cannot
be cleaned thoroughly. Small air
holes may be punched in metal con-
tainers making them more suitable
for carrying moist foods which are
likely to spoil.
In packing, things least likely to
crush should be packed on the bot
tom. Sandwiches, etc. should be
wrapped in separate packages instead
Of all in one.
If no provision is made in the school
room for serving lunches, an extra
napkin should be included in the
lunch box for the child to spread over
the school desk while eating. Nap
kins may be of paper or may be made
out of cotton crepe which may be
purchased for a small sum per yard.
The edges of the napkin may be firing
ed and the napkin need not be ironed
after washing.
Fruit and Nut Cor ,ctiOn-This con-
lection is a good one to be included
in the school lunch box. 1t is also
good to have in the house as an en-
Urgency novelty. Use l pound figs. l
pound dried prunes or seedless raisins
1 pound nut meats, con~fectioner's
sugar. Wash, pick over and stem the
fruits and put them with the nut
meats through a meat chopper and
mix thoroughly. Roll out to a thick
ness of about one-half inch on a board
covered with confectioner's sugar.
Cut into small pieces. III the candy
is to be kept for some time the pieces
should be separated by mean sof para
fin paper. This recipe makes about
"a 2 ounce portions.
To Remove. Ink. Stains-Saturate
the spot with %turpentinc and let it
stand for several hours. Rub well and
wash in soap and hot water.

FARM BUREAU TAKES WOMEN IN

The South Dakota Farm Bureau
convention last week endorsed wo-
mems work, recommended that the
state executive committee include one
or more women as soon as conditions
permit; recommended that county
boards include one or more women;
that farm bureau meetings include
both home and farm topics; urged
women representatives to attend the
annual state convention, and endorsed
the program of work of the state home
demonstration department of the State
College.

POULTRY

Hogs, cream and poultry have kept
more farms in the necessities of life
during the past two years than most
other farm commodities combined.
The reason for this is that they are
essential food products and conse-
quently in great demand. If they are
so valuable at such periods why not
give them more attention all the time?
Hogs are increasing rapidly in num-
bers in Hand County. Likewise the
quality is gradually improving. Good
dairy cows are selling at a premium
and many more would be brought in
if money to buy them was available.
The quality of our poultry is not up
tC the standard. The main reason is
that not much attention has been Civ
Ell this line of the farm business in
the past. The poultry business is one
capable of rapid expansion at normal
cost. 1t lends itself to rapid improve
ment with the application Of simple
principles that may be applied by any
one. With the information available
on housing, feeding, culling and gen
eral poultry management there is ev-
cry reason to feel that this phase of
the farm business can be greatly inn
proved with much financial gain and
benefit to the householders.
Hence, select only the known lay
ing hens for spring mating. Put them
in a separate pen during the mating
season and use only ROSTERS which
are known to come from the best
laying strain. The results will show
very quickly in increased egg produc-
ton the following spring.
The lowly profitable hen is carrying
a big load. BY removing the unfit
associates, her accomplishments will
be startling.

County Agent.

The following are two Of the resOlu-
tons adopted by the South Dakota
Farm Bureau Federation at Huron
last week, which set forth two main
, policies of the Farm Bureau:
Farm Bureau Not Duplicating Work OF
Any Other Farm Organization.
"Deploring the fact that occasional
ly there is a spirit Of antagonism
among farm organizations, we reafflrm
our feeling of most sincere cordially
toward all individuals and organiza-
tions who are working for the i'm
provement of agricultural conditions
and assert our willingness to be of
service and to cooperate with other
organizations working for the same
end. The Farm Bureau does not at
tempt to duplicate the work of other
organizations but has for its purpose
the unification and fostering of all
things, regardless of origin, which
will serve the highest interests of
agriculture"
Mere To Be Made I'm Cooperative Sell
ing Than In Cooperative Buying.
Whereas, the executive committee
of the South Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation has, during the past year,
expressed the opinion that, whenever
cooperative buying is undertaken,
such buying should be through regu-
larly organized and incorporated CO.
operative units having a reasonably
amount of capital back of them. Such
organizations are so organized to
handle such business efficiently and
have sufficient capital to buy at the
best advantage. Further, it is the
opinion of the board that careful con-
sideration be given before cooperative
buying is undertaken, since cOOpera-
tive Selling Has Greater Opportunities.
And, whereas, the executive committee
has recommended that County Agents
and Farm Bureaus when undertaking
cooperative buying should build it up
wherever possible through the regu-
|larly organized cooperative commodity
organization such as farmers eleva-
tors and similar institutions and
should not arrange indiscriminately
for group orders and buying carload
lots of products which their farmers
regularly handling. Such temporary
and ill-advised buying usually tends
to bring about discord in the regular
co~operatives instead OF helping them
to promote cooperation.
Therefore, be 1t resolved that this
committee recommends that the South
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation reaf-
firm and commend the executive com
mittee for their action and express
the willingness and desire of the Farm
Bureau to cooperate with such exist
ing organizations in all marketing
activities"

TOPICS OF THE FARM
A Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County
Contributed to by E. II. AICHER, Hand County Agri. Agent

Hand County had, at the close of
1920, only 6715 acres of alfalfa. A
strenuous effort will be made to at
least Doubt this acreage during 1922.
Let every farmer, every farm organ
izatisn, and every business in
Hand County interested in a more pro-
ftable agriculture, become interested
in alfalfa. o.
The hay a be marketed through
live stock and the live stock shipped
comparatively to a cooperative com
mission agency. The alfalfa seed can
be pooled and sold comparatively
through a farmers selling agency.
