The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1923-11-28

Today there are great financial re-
turns to be gained from the raising
of stock but the greatest are to be
found in the raising of dairy cattle
and in the production of hogs, sheep
and poultry.
For the sake of comparing present
day conditions to those of early days
it is we'll to revert to some of the
facts concerning agricultural produc-
tion in the earlier period.
The first settlers who came to Red
wood County and Minnesota after the
great influx of population in 1857 en-
gagged in wheat raising almost ex-
clusively and the virgin soil yielded
from 20 to 80 bushels to the acre
year after year. In fact this county
was long famous for the raising OF
wheat, and was among the highest
in the average yield per acre for many
a year.
In 1878 the wheat decline started
and coincident with the drop in, wheat
prices the farmers turned their at.
tention to diversified farming, dairy.
ing, and stock raising, Progress in the
direction of dairying, however, was
slow. The early settlers brought
with them a few mixers and beel
cattle for home consumption but 1,
was not until after the big drop in
wheat prices that the farmers serious
ly turned their attention to stock
raising as leading factor in farm
endeavor. Following this failure the
breeding of short horns and native
cattle was begun and portion of the
former large wheat fields was turned
to- the production of forage crops
Large herds, however, were the ex-
ception rather than the rule and
dairying was conducted on quite q
small scale.
Diversified Farming New.
At that time agricultural expert
ment was a new thing and practically

School Officers
Have Fine Meeting
BIG ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL
CONFERENCE AT WABASSO
SATURDAY.

Three hundred school officers and
patrons attended the annual County
School Officers meeting held at Wa
basso last Saturday under the direc-
tion of Miss Fern Kennedy, superin-
tendent of Redwood County schools.
This is the largest meeting since Miss
Kennedy has been in office in the
county and one of the largest ever
bass0's new school building which
proved very commodious and comfort
able rs well as attractive.
The main speaker of the day was
P. C. Tonning of st. Paul, Deputy
Commissioner of Education. Mr..
Tonning talked on the teaching of the
spirit Of the law as an essential of
law enforcement, and applied this
need for constant, progressive educa-
tion to many of the school problems
of Redwood County. Among these
problems is that of attendance, in
whichethe average for the county was
two days less last year than for the
year before. Mr.. Tonning expressed
the belief that constantly talking of
the value of attendance to parents and
pupils, by school officers and teachers,
would be more effective ultimately
than trying to enforce the law with
out having people thoroughly under
stand its significance. A similar ap-
plication was made to many other
problems.
John Welter, an officer in a district
which has recently rebuilt it's sshool
house, told how this rebuilding was
done in cooperation with. the state de-
partment of education and what ex-
cellent results were obtained by this
cooperation. Jesse Slaymaker spoke
on the value of Parent Teachers As
sociation in a rural school, Mrs. L. I.
Andrews spoke on what constitutes a
live school, Miss Joscelyn spoke on
the Child Welfare work of the County,
Mr.. Dahlberg spoke on the Smith
Hughes act, and Lynn Sheldon, coun-
ty agent, spoke on the club work and
its opportunities for boys and girls
who may not attend high school
Miss Kennedy presided at the meet
ing and gave a short talk on many of
the problems which confront Redwood
County School officers, this talk being
followed by many questions and con-
siderable discussion Of problems. As
sembly singing was led by Mr.. Dahl
berg who also sang two solos during
the afternoon program. The Wabas-
so high school orchestra played sew
eral selections.
