BUTTERFAT YIELDS IN
FEBRUARY RANK HIGH

Three COW testing associations
of the state practically ran dead
heat in February for the great
est average production Of butter
fat in the month. The Water
town association. James Hanon
tester, really topped all others
with an average butterfat pro
duction of 1874 pounds in the rs
days. The Lake Pepin association
was second. 1873 pounds of fat,
and the Wadena association third
1872 pounds.
The highest individual produc.
er among all association cows for
February was a purebred Hol-
stein in the Bender Bros. herd of
the WATERFOWL association. This
cows record for the short month
was TUG pounds OF butterfat.
Another purebred Holste in
owned by E. ID. Oliver of the Blue
Earth association was second,
87.2 pounds of fat. A grade Hol-
stein owned by Gus Bartel of the
North Hennepin association was
third. IS pounds The highest
producing herd was the Oliver
herd of II Holsteins in the Blue
Earth association which averaged
SIS pounds of butterfat. Sixteen
grade Holsteins, comprising the
herd of Bender Bros, WATERFOWL
association, were second, averag-
ing SAL pounds.

CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS
STUDY AND PLAY AT a.

About $50 club boys and girls
registered for the thirteenth an
nual short course at University
Farm the week of March 26 to
30. The attendance was larger
than a year ago. but not as large
as the attendance of much earlier
short courses. This does not
mean. said T. A. Erickson, state
leader. that interest in cub work
is less intense. On the contrary,
more juniors of the state are at
tending short courses than ever
before partly because there are
more such courses now for them
to attend The Morris and
Crookston schools of agriculture
have their annual short courses,
and many of tie counties put on
sach courses annually. Mr.,
Erickson estimates that 1900
Juniors will attend short courses,
state meetings, the Junior Live
stock Show, the State Fair. etc,
in 1923. The Juniors had a busy
and profitable week at the UNI
versity's farm-work, study and
play being so mingled that there
was not a dull moment. Fore
moons were devoted to classwork
in livestock, poultry, corn grow
ing, etc, for the boys, and 20
various phases Of homemaking
for the girls.

THE UNION SERVICES

The store houses on high were
opened last Sabbath evening and
there fell from above good will
and God-inspired love on an aud.
fence that literally packed the
Swedish Lutheran church. AT
that time, the Swedish Lutheran,
Norwegian Lutheran and Presby-
terrain congregations united in
worship to the Risen Christ. If
there were any haunting doubts
as to His place today-Heaven or
the Syrian tomb, they were
chased to the caverns from
whence they came before that
meeting closed. If there is love,
there is Christ, and Rev. Johnson
of Hinckley, who was in charge
of the service, was love incarnate
that evening. He fathered us all
as though we. had been his flock
from infancy. His broad and
Heaven-enchanted smile scatter

When the Chinsman wants q duck

pumpkin in which Sits are cut for
his eyes. He then moves gently
through the water until he is near
enough to catch duck by the feet.
With sharp jerk he pulls II under

il into his belt. The other ducks
are seldom disturbed, and he goes

and, finding that IL was the person
he wanted, then asked: ssiaib
"Are you dead ?"
Another young man, just breaking

RADIuM IN THE SYMPTOM

One Of the most interesting scien-
tifc discoveries connected with the
Simplon tunnel is the existence in
the rocks through which the famous
tunnel was bored Of surprisingly
large amount Of radium. The
greatest percentage was found more
than two and a half miles from the
Italian entrance, where every gram
Of rock contained about one four
thousand-millionth Of a gram Of
rsdium. The presence Of such a
quantity Of radium is thought by
some to furnish an explanation Of
the extraordinary degree Of heat en-
countered in the tunnel.
