Poultry Shows
Given Aid
REDWOOD COUNTY GIVEN
$165.71 TO HELP WITH PRIZES
GIVEN AT LAST SHOW.

The Redwood County Poultry As
sOciation is receiving a check fol
$165.71, state aid, this week. The
state appropriation for aid to Poultry
Associations is $4,000 and checks to
all societies holding shows during the
past twelve months, in compliance
with the law, were mailed by the State
Auditor, Tuesday.
The local association paid out in
premiums $194.95 at the last show and
is reimbursed on the basis of eighty
five cents on the dollar, the SIC, 200
appropriation being divided among the
societies holding shows, on basis of
the amount which each society paid
out in premiums, not in any case to
exceed $4OO.
For the last three years so many So
cieties have held shows that the ap-
preparation made by the Legislature
has been insufficient to reimburse
them in full. AS result, the money
is divided among them pro rata, with
the additional provision that when
there are two fairs in a county, the
county's share shall be divided among
these two.
This state, aid is for the purpose of
encouraging Poultry Societies in Min
nesota. Seven years ago there were
twenty-five societies holding shows
and the state aid paid out by the
Auditor totaled $6,888. In the twelve
months just past, eighty societies
held shows, their total of premiums
paid being $23,516.58.

Dust Conditions
Arouse Interest
CLUB WOMEN TO INTERVIEW
RESIDENTS OF CITY ON sPRINK-
LING OF STREETS.

The matter of sprinkling the side
streets of Redwood Falls came before
the City Council at it's meeting last
Tuesday night. Representatives Of the
womens clubs of the city met with
the council at that time and the mat
ter was thoroughly discussed Fol-
lowing the discussion Mayor w. T.
Wilcox requested that the club MEM
bers interview property owners as to
their wishes in the matter and that
a petition bearing the names of all
those wishing to have the streets ad-
jaeent to their homes sprinkled, be
presented for future consideration by
the council.
1t will be necessary for each prop
erty-owner or residence occupant to
defray the expense of sprinkIing the
adjacent street and it is estimated
that this expense will approximate
one dollar for ten feet of frontage.
This will make the charge for having
the street in front of an ordinary
size inside lot sprinkled about six dol
lars for the season. The expense will
be considerably increased on a cor
ner lot. Whether the streets are
sprinkled or not will depend entirely
upon the valuation residents place up
on dust-free street. The water sup
ply has recently been added to by the
addition of new spring which will
be large enough to stand the extra
demand. The ladies will start the cam
paign for the petition some time very
soon.

District Meeting
Is Successful
CLUB WOMEN ENJOY HOSPI-
TALITY OF BLUE EARTH AND
HEAR A GOOD PROGRAM.

Redwood Falls was well represent
ed at the annual meeting of the Fed
Grated Clubs of the Second District,
this meeting being held at Blue Earth
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week. Mrs. Will Curtis, the re-
tiring president of the Federation,
presided at the sessions which were
most pleasant and profitable. Officers
elected for the coming year are Mrs.
Cheadle of Jackson president, Mrs.
Moreland of Worthington, vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Frundt of Blue Earth, sec
retary and Mrs. Chambers of Blue
Earth treasurer.
The program Wednesday evening
was marked by two talks of merit, Mrs.
Curtis giving the presidents address,
taking as her subject The Clubwomans
Service, and Mrs. Manley Fosseen of
Minneapolis speaking on Politics as
a Means of Service. Both addresses
were well given. Many of the women
present had never heard Mrs. Fosseen
speak and her argument as to why
women should be in politics and what
she shall regard as her special work
in the political field met with the
greatest of approval.
Mrs. H. C. Hotaling of Mapleton
gave an excellent paper on The Value
of Publicity in Club Work and Mrs.
w. j. O'Toole spoke on Woman as
Citizen at the Thursday afternoon
session and Miss Keith Clark of st.

Rounds, president of the State FEEDER
alton marked the Friday morning ses-
sion and Mayor Nelson of st. Paul
gave a splendid talk on Law Enforce
ment at the closing session Friday
afternoon.
The big social feature of the meet
ing was the banquet given at the
Town and Country Club Thursday ev-
ening at which covers were laid for
over two hundred. An excellent menu
of three courses was followed by q
short toast program in charge OF Mrs.
C. w. Belville of Tracy who presided
in her usual delightfully."- clever and
informal manner. OF the toasts Civ
en- that by Madam Gertrude Roch-
lenge of st. James, who responded
to the Toast my Country 'Tis Oh

Bureau Units
Visit Farms
NORTH HERO AND SPRINGDALE
UNITS HOLD FARM MANAGE
MENT TOUR.

On June 9th the Township Units
of North Hero and Springdale helo
Farm Management Tour. The farms
visited were the julius Saelens farm
Revere, H. C. Lau, Tracy, and Alber,
Truedson, and o. E. Olson of Wal.
nut Grove.
VIM. Cavert, Farm Management
Specialist from the. College of Agri-
culture was present, and assisted in
calling attention to features Of in
terest at the different farms. A sump-
0tous picnic dinner was served by the
ladies' on the lawn of the H. C. Lau
farm.
The conclusion reached was that
there is no best system of farming
bit that each individual farmer must
plan a system that is adapted to the
size Of his farm, the available labor,
and the soil, but all seemed to agree
that alfalfa hay, and sweet clover
pasture should have place on every
farm in that locality. At the Julius
Salens farm about four hundred pigs
are being raised, and the discussion
centered around hog feeding, and hog
pastures. With the corn that is to
be hogged off, Mr.. Saelens plants soy
beans, and pumpkins. The pumpkins
are planted by hand after the corn
is up.
At the H. C. Lau farm, after the
picnic dinner, Mr.. Lau was kept busy
answering questions about his methods
with alfalfa, and sweet clover. He
has about forty acres of thick heavy
alfalfa, ten acres of this is used for
hog pasture, but the hundred seventy
i've spring pigs an their mothers can
eat only part of it so that these ten
acres provide fair hay crop in addi-
tion to pasture. In this way the stand
of alfalfa is not injured. Mr.. Lau feels
that ten acres of alfalfa for hay on a
quarter section is about right as a
larger acreage interferes with corn
cultivation unless there is extra help
available for that period. On forty
acres of sweet clover pasture forty
head of cattle and horses were knee
deep in pasture. Last fall after the
oats were cut, these forty acres had
pastured sixty head of livestock. Mr..
Lau says that sweet clover will be his
chief dependence for cattle pasture
hereafter. He plans to seed new
piece each year.
! AT the Albert Truedson farm, 125
head of grade hereford calves round
ing out into nice baby beef form
were shown. Silage, Alfalfa hay, and
oats with some corn were their feeds
until about March first. Since that
time they have had corn and alfalfa
hay to the limit of their capacity.
At o. E. Olson's there was an op-
portunity to contrast the eighty acre
farm. He is making up for the lack
of acres by milking cows, and feed
ing hogs on buttermilk from the local
creamery. About one hundred are
kept; in addition about five hundred
are being raised.

The MacPhee ice cream parlor in
the Public Drug Store building on

also of the excellence of the service.
The building has been entirely re-

tremely pleasing in appearance. Del
icately tinted walls, oak finishings
of woodwork and furnishings, and
tiled linoleum on the floor present a
most artistic as well as delightfully."-
clean interior. Tables are topped

tation. There are five booths and five
tables thus affording accommodation for
forty persons at one time. Shaded ell
ectroliers of beautiful design light

ceiling lights afford splendid light
ing facilities.

Supreme court stepped into the issue
with a writ of prohibition restraining
the district court from further pro-
ceedings. Decision to make that writ
absolute Wednesday settles the elec-
tion problem.
