The N. 3. II. S. basketball team
reached the greatest height of the
season when II overwhelmed the

The game started off with each
team getting a foul goal. That was
the nearest the Hillhouse team got to
winning, for the Red and Gold men
started a squirt that put the game on
ice in the first five minutes of play.
The Hardware City team rang up
field goal after field goal and this, to-
gether with the good four shooting of
Reynolds, made it a walkaway for the
Franklin Square team. The team
played together better than in any
other game this season For the first
time in a number of games machine
like password was in evidence.
Several spectacular plays were
made but one by Weir was the fea-
ture. Throughout the first half the
invaders did not score a single field
goal. The third quarter was played
and still they did not score a basket.
Player after player was sent into the
game in an effort to save them from
the stigma of not having made goal
from the floor until Mclean, center
of the New Haven team scored with
about three minutes to play.

Twenty cafloads Of 431, 900 pounds
OF picric acid have been distributed
so far In 1923 to Minnesota farmers
for clearing purposes. This Is an
increase of five carloads over the
amount distributed for the CORES
ponding period in 1922.
An Interesting feature is that six
carloads of picric acid have been
distributed this year to farmers OF
who have no large bodies of>land to
clear. This shows, however, that
they are doing an immense amount
of stone blasting and stump removal
work In river bottom lands, espec-
tally along the Mississippi and Min

first time at any dairy show. and
will form the central educational
exhibit of the Northwest Dairy EX-

committee drawn from the five

In order to demonstrate the diff
erence in profits between grade
cows and scrub cows, Ave groups
nimals will be shown. Each
group will be headed by bull Of
one of the five breeds. Barn C will
be made fitting setting for this
exhibit, by the cooperation Of in
terror decorators loaned to the
Exposition Committee by Mime

committee having the exhibits in
charge explained the manner of
presentation. Taking one group
for an example,, he said, at win

year old, well marked, and with .
pedigree which indicates high milk

grade cow by a purebred Isire. not
necessarily of the same strain but
of the same breed as the bull. Her
record of milk production and but

be found scrub cow Of no partic

TIMOTHY SEED CROP

The 1923 production Of timothy
seed Is expected to be about one
third less than that of last year, ac-
cording to information obtained by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Drouth, together with
q cold, backward spring, in the most
important timothy seed producing
sections caused a marked reduction
In the acreage harvested for seed
and a dec3ease in the yield per acre.
The 1922 lcrop turned out better
than expected and shipment figures
at the close of the season would
seem to indicate that 1t exceeded
the 1921 crop by about FIVE percent.
1t is possible that later reports on
the 1923 crop may indicate slightly
better yields from the thin stands
common in many sections but It is
thought that do allowance has been
