CELEBRATE
SIGNING AGREEMENT
WITH fine BANQUET
Social Hour Enjoyed BY Gathering Of
Employers and Employees.

Misunderstanding at times causes
more or less trouble between the en-
ployers and the union and much can
be done to eliminate this misunder-
standing by get-together meetings.
Sometimes the employees thinks that
the boss Is a grouchy old fellow un-
til they meet upon common ground,
and the employe finds that his en-
ployer is but human after all. The
same can be said of the employer.
There are times when thinks that
the union is making demands that mn
business Is unable to bear. In his
estimation the union does not always
consider the fact that he has. adverse
conditions to meet.
When both the employers and the
union meets at social gatherings and
talk over the obstacles that have to be
overcome and both tackle the job,
ahead, 1t results in gain for the en-
ployers and employees. To enjoy q So
cial hour and get better acquainted,
and to celebrate the signing Of new
agreement, was the idea of the BAN

REORGANIzE UNION
OF TIMBERNOREERS

No doubt many OF the former men,
bers of the international Union Of
Timberworkers, who thought that It
would be many years before a similar
organization would be launched, will
be surprised to learn that it is already
under way.
Many OF the employees of the lum-
Der industry, knowing that all ad-
vancements that labor has made have
been made through the American
Federation of Labor, organized a Fed
eral union at klamath Falls, Ore. If
these Federal unions spread, and
there is no reason why they should
not, 1t will only be a short time until
international headquarters will be es-
tablished.
The international Union of Tim
berworkers, which was started in Alb
erdeen during 1916 by a small group
of men, grew until its members COM
prised a large part of the men en-
ployed in the industry At one time
its total membership was approx
mately $4,000. Through this organi-
zation the eight-hour day and better
conditions generally in the mills and
camps we're established. But be-
cause Of the continual harassing Of
the l. W. w. and -Four LIS, with the
help Of the employers, its ranks we're
broken and the international was
forced to surrender it's charter on the
first Of April, 1923.
Not all of the employers were hos
tile to the union, but those who were
favorably inclined were by far out
numbered and had to follow the die
tations of the majority. Many Of the
fair-minded mill owners Of Grays Har-
Dor, if they were to speak their mind,
>would undoubtedly endorse the Tim
berworkers' union right now if it was
not for admitting their shortsighted-
ness.
The employees will have an organi-
cation of some kind through which
they can express their inspirations
and grievances. If they are not al
lowed to have one that viii deal on
te square and above board, they will
have the other kind. It is up to the
employers and employees; If the first
is not allowed to function, the latter
will.

ADVISES POISONING SPARRoWs

The usual trouble with English spar
rows in summer can be reduced by
poisoning the birds with strychnine-
coated wheat when they are around
the premises in winter, suggests e. c..
O'Roke. assistant professor Of biology
at State college. Bait the sparrows for
a few days with Imprisoned wheat in
places where other birds and fowls do
not feed. Then use this mixture, al
lowing 20 coated grains to each spar
row: Add one-eighth ounce strychnine
sulphate to three ounces of water; boil
until dissolved. Moisten one-half tea
spoons OF starch with a few drops of
cold water, add to poison solution and
heat until it thickens. Pour mixture
over one quart of wheat; spread on
hard surface to dry.
The poisoned birds will flutter about
and cause others to become suspicious

SOIL NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

About one-third Of the cultivated
ed in legumes in crop rotation as one
means Of improving soil Of the state,
advises j. G. Hutton Of the state soil
survey and professor in the agrOnOmy
department at State college.
Anyalses of soils in areas surveyed
show that more than 20 per cent of
the amount of nitrogen originally in
the surface soil has disappeared.
Therefore the acreage Of legumes
should be increased. Where such
crops as clover, alfalfa, sweet clover
and soy beans have not been grown
successfully an incubation OF the le-
gume seeds should be practiced. AL
ready the soil survey laboratory has
distributed about 1,500 cultures of le-
gume bacteria to farmers OF the state.
Where South Dakota soils are found
to be slightly acid in the surface layer
Professor Hutton suggests that the
soil a be improved for crop growing
by applying a few pounds Of limestone.
That there Is considerable variation
in plant food contents in soils OF the
state has been shown by the survey.
The supply Of phosphorus averages
from 1900 to 1,400 pounds in the same
amount of soil with variations from
$50 to more than 1000 pounds. The
application Of phosphorus at the ex-
pertinent station has as an average
for ~ years increased the yield OF all
crops more than 30 per cent.
