FREE BULLETINS
ON HOG-RAISING

Hog-raising is no longer o bust
ness to be undertaken without a
good deal Of careful study-such
study as goes into the efficient
management of any other indus
try. And raising is becoming
so important a feature on many
farms in Minnesota that attention
to the little economies and small
leaks often means the difference
between success and failure.
One of the differences between
success and failure often lies in
the attention given to providing
a mineral mixture for hogs, says
E. F. Ferrin in a bulletin on
Care and Feeding of Swine" just
issued by the Extension Division
of the Minnesota College Of Agri-
culture. A mineral mixture re-
commended by Mr.. Ferrin con-
sists Of 20 per cent Of common
salt, 40 per cent Of bone meal and
40 per cent Of air-slaked lime or
ground limestone. One ounce Of
potassium iodide TO 100 pounds Of
such mixture should be given to
prevent hairless pigs.
1t is attention to details like
the foregoing that brings sue
cess. Science, as studied at agri-
cultural colleges. has solved these
problems, and has helped to
bring hog-raising TO something
Of the standing Of a science.

1923 legislature. he added. be-
cause the requirement that funds

ing the bonds. in some cases
would mean the taking Of money
for minor improvements ahead Of
those most needed for economy
and general public gain.
More low prices are crafty
ing, but increase the regret that
the state is without working
capital necessary to take greater
advantage Of them---to give the
public needed road improvements
now and at a big savings in the
end" said Mr.. Babcock.
Highway officials commented
on a decrease in the number Of
bidders. More local road work on
which competition is not so keen
and greater building activities
taking excavating and other
equipment had an effect. they
explained. Competition for state
jobs was sharp, nevertheless, and
the prices tended to justify state
rather than county contracting
on trunk route projects.

URGE THE HOLDING
OF SURPLUS WHEAT
State Farm Bureau Solidly
Behind National Off,
GERS Project.

A plan to withdraw 200. 600, 900
bushels of wheat from the mar
ket and store it on the farm. pro-
posed last week by the American
Farm Bureau Federation. has the
unanimous approval of directors
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation. according to a state
ment issued last week by ]. +.
Reed. President.
Under the new intermediate
Credit Act and the amended
Warehouse Act. the Farm Bureau
proposes that the grower borrow
three fourths of the market price
of his wheat and hold it for a
satisfactory price. It is estimat-
ed that $i50Q0O.O0O of Interme-
date Credit would be ample to
enable the farmer to store 200,-
1000 bushels of wheat and
thereby remove II from the pres
ent below-a-dollar market.
The Farm Bureau plan would
have the Secretary of Agricul-
ture designate sound farm wheat
bins as governmbent- bonded
warehouses. and would provide
for the issuance Of the usual
b o n ded warehouse receipts
against such wheat stored on the
farm. The grower could borrow
through the intermediate Credit
System with the warehouse re-
ceipts as collateral. This would
enable him to hold his wheat UNI
til price advances made it advis-
able for him to sell.
The Wichita, Kansas, Inter-
mediate Credit Bank already is
advancing 100000 a day to
growers under this plan.
1t is believed that the with
drawal of 2O0.000.0O0 bushels of
wheat from the market and lock-
ing it up under government seal
in farm warehouses will have an
immediate and tremendous eff
feet on the price.

ELECTRIC CONCERNS
ARE CONSOLIDATED

A change in the ownership and
names of several large electric
companies-consolidating them
into one. under the name OF
American Light & Power Co. has
recently taken place and was re
ported in the daily press.
The consolidation has also in
cluded the General Light & Pow
er Co. of Cloquet, which serves
Hinckley and most of the CON-
munities north Of it in Pine coun-
ty and of which L. B. Carl of
Sandstone, is the local manager.
The Pine County Courier writes
concerning the change as follows:
BY the consolidation of sever
al different electrical companies
recently, the whole of the elec-
trio service system from Sank
Rapids to Ely will hereafter be
controlled by one company. The
organization will be known as
the American Light & Power Co.,
and will take the place of the
Great Northern Power Co., the
Minnesota Utilities CO.. the st,
Louis River Power & Improve
ment Corp. and the General
Light & Power Co. of Cloquet,
which has owned all the system
in this part of the state.
The new company is a large
one and plans several big i'm.
provements in the service. II is
now constructing an additional
power plant at Fond du Lac, and
will soon construct large reserve
reservoirs and plants at other
points. They plan to increase
their electrical power as rapidly
as possible and run the whole
system much more economically
than can be be done by several
smaller companies.
Il. B. Carl remains in charge
of the local system. and no inn
portant changes will be made
here at present. The stopping of
the work at the new dam site,
north of town, is the result of
the change of ownership. but the
dam will undoubtedly be COM
pleted at some future time"

ONE OF BEST SUNDAY
SCHOOL MEETINGS

A splendid county convention
of the Sunday schools of Pine
county was held in Sandstone on
August "a and Is. II was the
best meeting that has been held
for some years. Nearly all the
Sunday schools of the county
were represented by delegates.
among them being IS Sunday
school officers, Is teachers. z
superintendent and 5 pastors.
besides several county and
district official delegates.
Many phases of Sunday school
work was studied. and it gave
people an opportunity to under
stand what the association is
doing.
The work of this association is
voluntary; it is democratic body
of church school workers who
seek through cooperation to pro-
vide strength for weak workers,
courage for discouraged workers,
and skill and development in
Christian service for all. It
touches every Sunday school
worker in Minnesota who is will
ling to work in company with
others; it provides for the Chris
tian worker what the various
educational associations do for
the public school workers; it dis
cusses methods, not doctrine; it
helps all and hinders none; it pro-
vides the only common rallying
ground for all groups of Christi
ans, for the Sunday schools of the
county can only be as efficient as
the workers who man them.
The most important thing in
a mans life is his religion; and
the time to enthrone religion in
a life is during the years of child
hood and youth, so he who helps
little child helps humanity with
a directness that no other help
at any other stage in develop
ment can ever give again. At
the international convention in
Kansas City a year ago it was de-
cided to change the name from
Sunday School Association" to
The Council of Religious Educa-
ton" and this county being a
unit of that body. will hereafter
be known as The Pine County
Council of Religious Education. :"
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
President, Mrs. J. ID. DeMaris;
vice presidents, G. E. Hendricks,
Mrs. Verne Ashcroft and Mrs.
Alice Jewell; secretary, Miss
Katy Young; treasurer. II. A.

intendent. Mrs. Carrie Conklin;

Miss Signe Swanson; adult divi.
sion superintendent, Mrs. Elva
