FEDERAL EXPERTS
PICKING REACTORS
CulIips Affected Cattle From
Herds In This Section
Of State

DE. T. w. Scott, a federal veter-
marian. has been in the vicinity Of
Mankato for the past two weeks as
sisting DR.. j. f. Pooiey, another
federal veterinarian, in his tubercu-
iosis eradication work in the cattle
herds In .his Ind adjacent counties.
In the past two weeks, desnIt,
intense heat, these two men have
been doing an immense lot of work.
In that period of time over $50 herds
Of dairy cattle have been tested for
tuberculosis. In Blue Earth county
alone, fourteen herds were tested
last week. In the vicinity of St Pet
er a number of 'reactors" were
culled from herds. The owners of
these affected animals, are reim-
bursed to certain extent for the
worth of the beast Grades gener-
ally are rated at $50 and pureDI
at $3.50 each.
DR.. Pooley in a statement to The
Free Press today said that about
the first Of August four counties in
this state will be entirely tested.
The great necessity of the federal
test is emphasized by the fact that
in the past two months several re
actors" that is cows affected with
tuberculosis in one form or another.
we're discovered in herds. which had
been supplying milk to Mankato
consumers. Both DR.. Pooley and DR..
Scott explained that the great dan
ger lies in the transmission of this
dread disease through the medium
Of milk to children.
It is the aim Of the federal au-
thorities to stamp tuberculosis out
of the dairy herds throughout this
.ntire state. and thus safeguard hu-
Ian beings from contracting tuber-
culosis from the consumption of
meat or milk from diseased animals.
Reactors are seized and shipped
to federal inspected packing
house. and there generally reduced
to fertilizers.

w. Ireland, containing a group OF
Rochester golfers was fired upon
from ambush last Friday evening
when the local people were return
ing from the intercity golf tourney
at Mankato. The car containing Mr.
Ireland, Mr.. Graham, and several
other golfers, was rolling smoothly
along the highway some distance
outside of Mankato when the shoot
ing took place. The loud report Of a
shotgun, the blaze Of sparks from
the gun, and a gruff command to
halt coming almost simultaneously
startled the amazed men. The
driver took one look at the dark fig
ure near the edge OF the road and
thrust his foot down on the gas
feed, with the result that the big
car seemed to leap forward. There
were no other shots fired, but Ora
ham drove the frightened golfers at
a rate of forty five miles an hour
for some distance.

Flee from
Famous Remedy

The first duty of every eff
cient housexeeper is to make her
home clean and comfortable. No
matter how immaculate it way be
kept, house can never be COM
Portable as long as it is overrun
with ants. Immagine the ehagrin
of the hostess who is obliged to sus
pend the serving of tea to her
guests until flock of ants can be
induced to vaeate the sugar bowl
or pried loose from the butter.
Such humiliatmg experience is
entirely unnecessary, because Il rem
edy is available that win not only
drive every ant out of Il house or
store instantly--but which will
make them stay out. In fact, its eff
feet upon them is almost unbeliev-
able--as they appear to shun with
an uncannv dread the spot where
the remedy has been applied.
This magic like preparation can
be obtained at any drug store un-
der the name of kelogg's Ant
Paste. 1t is easily spread with IL
match or stick wherever ants are
accustomed to appear. Just one ap-
plication and your ant troubles are
over.
To guard against disappointment
it would be well not to SIMPLY ask
for Ant Paste, but to be sure and
specify Kellogg 's-which is put up
in Il patented rattle-cap package.

The cards for crop statistics, men
toned in Mr.. Waite's report which
follows are for the purpose of re-
porting on crops and herds in the
valley to the Imperial Irrigation
District, so that accurate statistics
on the valley may be compiled. The
ZanJeros of the district Will collect
the data on these cards and turn 1t
in to the district office. The card
is unusually complete, and space is
proyIded Tor statistics of every
klnd OF crop or animal raised IN the
valley. Ar. Waite designed the
card, and deserves no Little credit
for covering such an extensive SUB
Ject IN sucn small space.
During the month of April
Throughout the county, The follow
ing scales and measureing devices
were tested.
81 platform scales,
l12 computing scales,
A counter scales,
IL spring scales,
l3 measuring gas pumps,
10 linear measures,
5 wall scales,
) drygoods measuring devices,
Fourteen scales were tagged ''out
of order. -
Every effort is being made with
the present inspection force to en-
force the law on noxious weed Grad
ication. Arrangements have been
made with the directors of the lr-
rigation board for a systematic
"clean up of all weeds along the
canals. Since the entire water sys-
TEN has been taken over by the dis
trict this arrangement is possible
and much more satisfactory.
The cards for the crop statistics
have been printed and will soon be
in the hands of the zanieros and
every farm owner and tenant should
realize tie Importance of giving this
information correctly.

Gibbons Tells Why
He Signed Up
With De m psey
By TOMMY GIBBONS, Challenger
of Jack Dempsey. Written for
The United Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 9.-Every
one is asking me what prompted me
to sign up with jack Dempsey for a
heavyweight championship bout in
Shelby, Montana, on July Fourth.
1t seems to be the general opin-
ion that | am. sure to lose or those
questions would not be put to me.
Every one has the ambition to reach
the top in his own profession and l
suppose ! have the hope of be-
coming the heavyweight champion.
So when the opportunity offered 1t
self and I felt that 1 was ready for
the best bid | could make, | accept
ed. They tell me Dempsey Is one
of the most powerful hitters IN the
ring. / think my record of 80 vic
tories in "a bouts by knock outs
viii be sufficient proof that l also
have a punch. The force of the
punch does not mean so much be
cause it counts just as much to put
an opponent down for ten seconds
as it does for 11o.
1t is said that i am better box
er than Dempsey and. / believe
am. But l am going to fight Demp'
sey and MOTTO box him.
j made no effort to get chance
with Dempsey until / felt certain
that the time had arrived and that
was in my best possible form.
feel that way now and for that rea
son / accepted the bout.

Border Compress
Handles $4,000
Bales of Cotton

CALEXICO, May 9.-The approx.
innate total of the cotton handled
this year by the compress is about
10000 bales. A little is left to come
in, but the season is practically
over. All the gins in Calexieo and
Mexicali are shut down.
Cotton growers are jubilant over
the prospects for a record crop, as
the newly planted and volunteer
cotton is far ahead of previous
season at this time.
The government report yesterday,
which shows that the United States
holds more than half the remaining
cotton in the world, also makes IT
evident that the cotton stock will
be depleted before the next crop, a
fact which argurs well for the pro-
fit side Of the growers ledger.
