DR.. o. c. Strickler was elected pres
ident, Paul Hackbarth, vice -presi-
dent, Elmer Backer, secretary
treasurer and H. H. Flor, F. D. Min
imlm, Alois Eibner and Ed. ]. Berg,
directors. The officers are ex- offlcio
members of the board, thereby max
ing it seven. The meeting was called
TO order by the temporary chair
man, Otto Buenger. The committee
at a previous meeting to
ascertain the various sites available
suitable for a golf course reported
that an ideal location had been
found on the VIM. Getting farm just
across the Minnesota river and about
two and a half miles from town.
MI. Getting agrees to lease As acres
of his large pasture to the club at a
rental of $3.50 for the season. The
tract composes rolling ground with
numbers of obstacles suitable for the
laying out of golf course and with
driveway conveniences for motoring
to the place as we'll as parking facil-
tiles for cars if needed. The links
on the Getting farm will be temper
ary as it is hoped that by next sea
son permanent grounds will be es
tablished. 1t is probable that an ex-
pert will be engaged in laying out
the grounds in the near future and
that the membership will be greatly
increased as there are numbers will
ing to join who have not as yet been
solicited by the committee. DR.
Stricken, president Of the club, will

GOES THROUGH MlNNEOPA
Route is Is Picked BY the State
Highway Commission

Highway Commission
A letter to The Lake Crystal Tri-
bune from John H. Mullen, chief
engineer Of the highway department
states that the route Of trunk nigh
way No. 16 between Lake Crystal
and Mankato has been determined,
| and will go through Mlnneopa Falls
state park. This means that after
crossing the railroads once near the
river coming 6ut Of Mankato il will
follow along the south side OF the
railroad right Of way the entire dis
tance to Lake Crystal, entering the
city across the outlet of Crystal
lake near the Bowen ice house.
The chief engineer stats that the
route from Lake Crystal to Madelia
has not yet been decided upon, which
is one Of the problems to be tnresh-
ed out today between tho county
commissioners and representatives
of the state highway. Engineer Null
willing to cooperate with the county
and use as a detour a road which
would now or later, be used as q
state aid road, and help to build that
road.
The state seems very anxious to
have this trunk highway line 20
through at once between Madelia,
Lake Crystal and Minneopa. The
method Of having the county issue
the bonds seem much preferable to
us than to have the Legislature bond
the state at this time, because every
dollars OF this bond issue must be
used in our county On the roads
which must be designated before the
the bonds, are issued. The state
taxes care for both interest and
principal Of the bonds, commencing
at once.
If Blue Earth county does not is
sue these bonds, dozen other
counties are now axiously awaiting
their chance to bond their counties,
as Mr.. Babcock is limiting his CO..
operation on the county bonding
propositions, and now has more ap
plications than he will be able to
allow. Therefore il the money is
not spent here, we will pay the
same amount of taxes and It will be
used in some other county, as the
state pays the bonds and we as tax
J payers pay the state.
This being a trunk highway pro-
position and not a feeder or branch
proposition for local roads. It
highway standpoint. Local lines or
preferences should not conflict to
the point that it would result in
neither a trunk line nor a state aid
road.
The highway commission states
that if the county bonds are voted
by the commissioner it will be two
years until the concrete surface Is
laid and the road from Madelia to
Mankato opened up for traffic, al
tho it is possible that a portion
might be ready for use before that
time. The state entirely controls the
road work. Suitable graveled detour
roads must be provided.

FIGHT AGAINST INSECTS

AS a result Of experiments carried
on during the past two years in
spraying trees with poison distri-
buted by an airplane in the cam
paign to control insect pests. it has
been considered advisable by the
United States department of agri-
culture to make a number of tests
this summer to determine whether
the lighter than air machine can be
used satisfactorily. Arrangements
have been made between the depart
ment OF agriculture and the air
service OF the war department to
use a motorized balloon for this pur-
pose. The work will be conducted
In the gypsy moth infested area in
New England, where an attempt will
be made to devise equipment that
can be attached to the balloon go
that poison spray can be applied
In forest areas. Numerous tests have
been planned to determine whether
this method OF spraying is effective
and economical. Department officials
hope that the results may be of
practical importance in the treat
ment of forest areas infested with
leaf eating insects. This method of
spraying is relatively new and as a
poisonous dust can be applied more
rapidly from the air than a liquid
spray from the ground, 1t is neces :
sary to determine the effectiveness
Of the former method and whether
or not the application can be made
at an expense that will warrant Ms
use on large scale.
