for by Superintendent L. G.
Mustain

When the Morris public schools op-
en- their doors for the 1929 school
year ON Tuesday, September 5th, the
enrolment in both the grades and the
high school will tax the capacity of

not take up their active school duties
until the 9Th of Sept. teachers
meeing will be held at the high school
building at two o'clock Monday af-

to be here on Monday afternoon.
Practically all the teachers who
will be here during the coming school
year have already made reservations

"Grow Alfalfa" Campaign

In an effort to get 500 Wadena
farmers to grow at least one acre of
alfalfa each, the agricultural divis-
ion of the university and the Wadena
county farm bureau, are cooperating
in inaugurating county wide "grow
alfalfa" campaign to continue all
fall and winter.
Meetings have been held in every
township with Ralph Grim, extern
sion agronomist, and s. B. Cleland
and F. J. Brown, assistant county
agent leaders at University Farm, as
the principal speakers. A farm can
vass is under way. Farmers are be-
ing assisted in every way possible
and are being provided with seed,
lime, and all necessary material at
minimum prices through the cooper
alton of seed companies and bcsiness
concerns of the county.
Each farmer is being asked to sign
card agreeing to put in one acre of
alfalfa under certain standard re-
quirements in order to insure a sue
cessful crop. These, according to
Mr.. Cleland, require the land to be
fall plowed, the soil to be tested for
acidity and lined If necessary,
Grimm seed to be used and the seed
to be sown without a nurse crop when
seeding Is done next spring.

Barberry Convicted Once More

Escaped paintings of the common
barberry found in a pasture near
Pine Island, Goodhue county, by fed
eral scouts engaged in barberry Grad
ication work, are held responsible for
direct infection of adjacent cereal
crops by black stem rust. Wheat in
the vicinity is said to be almost a
total loss; oats, rye, and grasses
have been heavily damaged.
A thousand barberry bushes To-
Gated in the pasture are belieyed to
be the descendants of a barberry
hedge which until it was uprooted a
few years ago, fourished about a
quarter of a mile away. Attracted
by the red berries before the hedge
was destroyed, birds carried the seeds
to the pasture and laid the founda-
tion for the wild barberries which,
like the ornamental variety, harbor
and preserve the black rust.
The Pine Island find clearly illus
trates the connection between the
common barberry bush and black
stem rust, says. L. w. Melander of
University Farm, state leader of the
federal barberry eradication forces.
A small field of wheat and oats,
mixed, adjoining the pasture was
found to be 100 per cent rusted. A
field of oats nearby was heavily
damaged. Winter wheat half a mile
away was practically a total loss.
Heavy toll has been taken by the
rust all throught the neighbor-
hood.

s1a Goo Saved to Creameries

On the first 100 cars of butter
marketed by the New York office OF
the Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries Association, Inc, net savings
were $4,000, according to A. j. Nc
Guire, general manager. This is at
the rate of $3.50 a car.
The savings grew out of the as
sociation's plan to ship Minnesota's
co-operatively-made butter in carload
lots, instead of part-car consign-
ments. The latter plan was the rule
before the association entered the
field.
Since June %, the New York
office has been receiving practically
all the butter by member creameries.
A large percent Of the first 100 cars
has been hauled during the last two
weeks.
"This> $4,000 saving, says Mr..
Mcclure, "is but an incident Of what
the association will do, as it extends
its activities 1t, moreover, is dol
lar and cents proof of the worth OF
cooperation in marketing dairy pro-
ducts. At present our freight saw
ings are 100 per cent more than the
entire cost of running the associa-
ton "
Mr.. Mcclure is in Chicago this
week. attending final hearing
which he expects will result in still
further freight savings. He has been
working for some time to obtain adj
ditionaI rate reduction on concen-
trated shipments.

Play Appleton Sunday

Staging one of the most interesting
contests of the season the Morris
baseball team defeated the strong
Hoffman aggregation here Sunday af-
ternoon by score of 9 to A. It was
an interesting game thruout, Hoffman
taking an early lead, but unable to
stop the local batters when they
started hitting so effectively that
Rowe was finally forced from the
mound, johnson taking up his duties.
The locals secured Id safe bingles
as against eight allowed them by
Buttell, working on the mound for
Morris. Neither team produced err
rorless ball and the Hoffman players
failed to boot as many as the locals,
the score sheet showing four errors
for the visitors as against seven for
Morris. The local players made their
errors early in the game then settled
down and played baseball with an eff
fectiveness that has not been noted
for several games. <

for a skirmish with Morris and in
dications point to another victory for
the locals with the boys producing the
brand of ball they did during the lat
ter innings last Sunday and hitting
the ball in The same businesslike way.

MANUFACTURING PLANT
FOR MORRIS ASSURED
Vaughn stock being offered for sale
and company plans to
locate here

Location of the Vaughn Manufac-
turing company's plant for the manu-
faeture of its products in Morris is
assured, according to an announce
ment this week by Hadley Summer of
st. Paul who has been in Morris for
more than week looking over the
prospects for locating and is fully
satisfied with the sisuation Thirty
seven thousand dollars worth of stock
will be sold at this time and all these
funds will be used in the development
and financing of sales, leaving $685.
600 of stock unsold in the treasury
which may be later disposed Of If
further expansions becomes neces-
sary, according to Mr.. Sumner
The company now has no manu-
featuring plant and all business done
to date has been from the Minneapo-
| lis Office including the sale of the
Vaughn products. The wild oats sep
arator and cleaner and also the regu-
lar duplex tanning mill sales have
been contracted out to Minneapolis
| jobber while the manufacture of them
has been contracted out to a La
Crosse manufacturer. All business
SO far done by the Vaughn company
has provided three profits, that of the
manufacturer and that of the jobber
and that of the Vaughn Machinery
company
Although splendid progress has
been made on the small working cap
ital with which the company had
provided itself, the company has
been hanpered by lack of sufficient
capital since its inception.
It is now proposed to lay plans and
begin the initial work of establishing
a plant at Morris which will include
the manufacturing plant and sales
Office and all Offices necessary for the
distribution of the product. All are
agreed that the location is ideal ow-
ing to it's nearness to the principal
markets for the machines. It is ex-
pected that a sales Office, however,
will probably be necessary at Min
neapolis and possibly at Fargo and
Kansas City. From the outset the
recently patented and now fully per
fected pneumatic grain elevator or,
blower elevteor, will be made and sold
from here As soon as the volume of
business of the blowers is built up,
together with the tanning mills, grain
cleaners and wild oats separators, it
| is expected that a moderate sized
plant will be kept open and operated
the year around. Then the entire
! business will be moved to and con-
ducted from Morris, it was said.
The wild oats separator patens and
duplexS tanning mill patents have
proven their value and worth but all
authorities agree that the new blow
er elevakr will prove big leader.
This is already apparent, according TO
officers of the company, and the stock
in the company now being offered for
sale and necessary to start the busi-
ness going in Morris is considered
very small and, it is expected, will be
quickly absorbed by the people OF
Morris and vicinity. The Vaughn
brothers have secured Mr.. Hadley
Summer to take full charge of the
sale of the stock with the assistance
of a committee, which has been sap-
pointed from the Commercial club
of which J. J. Gaffney is chairman.
