Iowa Boys Steer
Is Grand Champion
Careful Attention and Good
Feeding Responsible for
His Success

When Wayne Probst, a t~hirteen-year-
old farm boy from West Liberty, Iowa,
visited he 1922 International Live
Stock exposition at Chicago and staged
a meat-cutting demonstration in the
boys and girls club department, he
examined the wonderful animals on dis
play and vowed that some day he
would be al exhibitor and lead his own
animal into the arena.
Champion at Iowa.
During the winter and spring Wayne
carefully tended the pure bred Here
ford steer which he had entered in
his county baby beef club, and when
the state competition was held at Des
Moines during the Iowa state fair, his
pet, Bonnie Arbor. was declared cham

Two Plants Practically
Alike Above the Ground

Sudan grass Is sometimes mistaken
for johnson grass. as the two plants
are practically alike above the ground.
The Sudan seed. however. Is a little
larger and plumper than the Johnson
grass seed. And there IL n Wide diff
growth OF the two plants. Johnson
grass has underground running root
stocks from which II grows from year
to year. Sudan grass, on the contrary,
has short. fbrous oots and grows only
n year. Therefore II never becomes
a troublesome weed like Johnson
grass.

Corn for Silage Must Be
Cut Fine and Tramped

Corn for sllage must be cut fine and
tranlped well into the silo, II 1t is de-
sired to make the best quality OF feed
and Ill the silo to Its greatest capac-
lty. says the Department OF Agricul-
ture. The usual length OF cutting
varies from o%ne-fourth OF IN inch to
one inch. but the latter is n little too
long, as the pieces do not pack so
readily In the silo. and they are not so
completely consumed in feeding as the
shorter lengths.

II fail pigs are expected It Is well TO

skim milk can be given. Give the dams,
while the pigs are sucking, n liberal
amount Of good m~ilk-produclng feed
such as wheat shorts. corn, skim milk
or buttermllk, tanknge. and. II possible.

Soy Bean Stubble Makes
Fine Seed Bed for Wheat

Soy-bean stubble makes an excel
lent seed bed for wheat and expert
mental work has shown that the wheat
yield may be increased % per cent by
sowing after soy beans. Most grow
ers make the practice OF harvesting
the beans with a sweeprake and fol-
lowing Immediately with the wheat
drill. No seed-bed preparation is nee
essary. and this is n of the impor-
tnnt factors In the economical produc-
ton of wheat.

Soil Prepared for Soy
Beans by Fall Flowing

Soil preparation for SOY beans is the
same MS for corn. Where II Is adyis-
able to plow In the fall for corn. then
It is advisable to pillow In the fall for
soy beans, The clay lands should be
fall plowed. and In the spring dlsted,
narrowed. and made smooth by the
drag and plnnker. For light, sandy
soils spring blowing Is preferable. On
clay and sandy loan soils both spring
and fall blowing srs equally satisfac-
sory.

Good Silage Serves as
Substitute for Pasture

Feeding trials at the Kansas agricul-
tural experiment station at Manhattan
Indicate that the silo is a money
maker wherever eight hend Of cows
are MIXED. Good silnge serves rs n
substitute for pasture during fall, win
ter and early spring. Sllnge car be
proftably fed to dairy cows in Kansas
nine months of the year.
There Is a prevalent Idea among
farmers that 1t does not pay to put n
good corn crop In the sllo. As a mat
ter of fact, the better the corn yield
the better will be the sllage and the
greater the amount OF foliage which
may be fully utilized.

Hogs Show Good Profit
by Hogging Down Corn

Some practical feeders seem to qucs-
tion the advisablllty OF hogglng down
corn at present prices, but plenty Of
tests show that hogs give ms much
profit when they are allowed TO help
themselves MS when the corn is fed
by hand-in fact. these same hogs will
show greater profit by hogging down
corn than digging II out Of muddy
ieed-lots.

TEN MILLION SERVED


The latest figures on the number
OF electric light and power custo-
mers in the United States shows ap-
proximately ten million people. As
Stunning families of four to five, cleo
tricity is directly or indirectly serv-
ing about one-half of the people of
the country, and the number OF GUS
toners is growing rapidly day by
day. Last year the Geological Sur
vey gave as the electric light and
power properties in the United
States. 7,0O0.00o.O 900 kilowatt
hours.
For the purpose of making that
figure a little more comprehensive,
we may turn it into horsepower
hours, the ordinary man having n
better idea of horsepower hours
than of kilowatt hours, and it fig
ures sixty-five billion horsepower
hours. Going a little farther than
that, we may figure out how many
horses that represents. working ten
hours day for 800 days in a year.
Ie figures twenty-one million horses.
So the electric light and power indus
try of the country today is doing
the work that would be represented
by twenty-one million horses, work
ing ten hours day for 800 days
year.

reads and is rapidly becoming n

The continued efforts of the citizens
to improve the sanitary conditions OF
the town and to give it more at
tractive appearance should help to
make the tourist traffic an increas-
ing source of wealth and partly on
set the decline in mining.
The first mining claims in the
Creole district, as stated in a report
recently issued by the Department
OF the Interiort through the Geologl-
cal Survey, were located in 1888,
but the great boom, which rivaled
anything in the early history of 9TH
er mining districts, did not begin
until late in 1891, when perhaps
ten thousand people rushed to the
camp, a railroad was extended to it,
and the small amount of fiat land
available in the deep canyon was
built up almost solidly Early IN
the following year disastrous fire
destroyed most of the new city. The
city was rebuilt, but the boom sub
sided almost as rapidly as it had
grown.
1t was in June, 1891, that two
and julius Haas, grubstaked by two
butchers of Del Norte, set out to
prospect the Creole region. 1t is
said that the search for their stray
ca burros led Renninger to the out
crop on the famous Last Chance
claim. The poor surface indica-
lions led him to define his claim the

had produced silver and other ore
valued at nearly s1.500,000.
|. After the great boom the district
settled down to a more regular exis-
,tence and has produced metals val
ued at over s40.000.00o. about half
OF which was distributed as profits.
The metal produced in largest guam
,tity is silver. which makes up about
two-thirds of the total value of the
metallic output, lead makes about
one-fifth, gold about one-fifteenth,.
Most of the metal mined was Ia
ken from a single vein, which ex-
tends along a great fault or earth
quake rift that is several miles long
and cuts volcanic rocks. Many thou

side of this fault were dropped down
more than 1900 feet. A mining
tunnel follows this vein for about
two miles. Some ore has been pro-
duced from other veins, most Of
which extend along faults.

entitled Geology and Ore Deposits
OF the Creole District, Colorado, by
W. H. Emmons and e. S. Larson, is

Financial Methods Are
Scored By Gus WideU
Report Was Submitted To Board of Educa
ton Last Night; Unbusiness-Like Deal
ings, Is Claim

An investigation Of the financial
resources OF several departments In
the Mankato High school, has re-
Vealed shortages in the funds, ac-
Cording to a report made by G. A.
Widell, to members Of the board OF
education at a meeting of the board
last night. The report covered the
Athletic association and the Lyceum
financial standings.
In making his report General WI
dell stated that he discovered con-
siderable deficiency in the Athletic
association fund and declared in his
opinion that the business affairs OF
the association had been run very
unbusiness- like under the charge Of
Coach George Conklin. He also
athletic equipment had been pur-
chased during the past year by
Conklin without having available
funds or arrangements whereby the
articles could be paid for.
More Bills Outstanding
Widell told members of the board
that in addition to a number Of bills
he had in the report which were un-
paid, additional bills amounting to
about $500 were still outstanding
and unpaid. He declared that in as
much as Conklin had direct charge
of the finances, that he should be
held responsible for the bills un-
paid. This amount should have
been deducted from his last salary
check, but the board did not know
of the financial condition of the
fund, he declared.
The lyceum course OF the high
school, which he stated was under
direct charge of Superintendent E.
S. Selle, showed a deficiency of 500
during the last year. He pointed out
that this was the first shortages in
these funds in a great many years.
He further reported that there
would be another shortage to re-
port Mr.. Widell and Adolph Muel-
Ter were directed to continue their
