TUBERCULAR COW AT
IOWA COUNTY FAIR

The following article regarding
the showing OF tubercular COW
at the Marion County Fair is clip
ped from the Knoxville Uowa)
Journal OF Sept. 18th:
Probably the most unusual ex-
hibit ever seen at a county fair in
Iowa, was made by DIR. c. j. Scott
at the agricultural and stock
show of last week in which the
doctor made a graphic showing of
the results of bovine tuberculosis
plain to everybody interested.
The specimen, a COW that was
sold four years ago for $4,000,
was exhibited alive under sani-
tary surroundings for a period of
two days. After the terrible in
roads of the disease had thus
been shown, DIR. Scott had the
animal killed. and during the clos
ing days of the fair, exhibited
the results and findings of his

PYROTOL EXPLOSIVE

Inasmuch as half of the gov
ernment's supply of the new ex-
plosive-pyrotol for land clearing
purposes, was recently destroyed
by fire, and in view of the fact
that there is still much land to
be cleared in the vicinity of
Askov--especially needed if we
are to raise peas next year, it
would be we'll for all those want
ing pyrotol to place their orders
as soon as possible, before the
supply is exhausted. Place your
orders at the First State Bank of
Askov. The price is low and it is
a good thing to take advantage Of
the opportunity.

and operators of our exchanges,
claiming cfedit for the advance
in price, should determine to put
the price of agricultural commo-
dities at or above the ratio price,
we would still be at the mercy of
certain spectators and exporters,
who, according to the Federal
Trade Commissions report of
June IS, 1923, are evidently en-
gagged in questionable practices.
IF one prefers violent fluctu-
ations and low prices, has more
confidence in the present system
of price fixing and manipulation
in the grading of grain; if one
prefers to have the prices of agri-
cultural commodities determined
by exporters and manipulators,
and to thus continue the econo-
mic depression; if so, the sug-
gested delay in legislation will
give the desired results. On the
other hand, if one prefers a just
and fair deal to all, the sooner
we secure the enactment of a
law which will do away with the
evil practices referred to in a re-
cent report of the Federal Trade
Commission, restore foreign mar
kets, and equalize prices between
agricultural commodities and
other commodities-the quicker
the farmer, the wageearner, the
banker, the merchant, the manu-
facturer and all other classes will
again start on the highway to
prosperity"

HAUGEN STATES, STAND
ON PRICE LEGISLATION

In a communication to the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation
last week, Congressman Gilbert
N. Haugen, of Iowa, called atten-
tion to certain discrepancies
which appeared in press reports
covering his address at the State
Fair on September 4.
The statements to which Con-
gresham Haugen took exception
referred particularly to the need
at the present time for a farm
price equalization law. His
statement reads in part as fol-
lows:
My attention has been called
to reports indicating my position
to be that market conditions have
removed the need for any farm
price equalization law at present.
/ certainly never entertained or
indicated any such thought. To
the contrary, the continued eco
nomic depression, especially in
agriculture, requires prompt ac-
tion to equalize prices, and to
thus restore normal conditions in
our basic industry, agriculture.
True, prices of agricultural
commodities have advanced. The
current price of corn is above the
ratio price; wheat and hogs are
considerably below. September
wheat, for instance, was quoted
in Chicago few days ago 24k
cents a bushel below the Liver
pool price or 35 per cent below
the ration price. If exporters

autopsy. Those who saw the cow
alive and declared that many
worse looking animals were being
milked every day" must have
been truly surprised on viewing
the post mortem specimens.
Tubercular LESSONS were found
in practically every portion of
the body, less evident in the
lungs than elsewhere. The cervi-
cal, a throat gland, normally
about the size of a hulled walnut,
was fully eight (S) inches in di-
ameter, and had degenerated to
that point where not one atom of
live tissue was left. 1t was
packed perfectly solid with dead
matter (pus) and was firm and
unyielding to ordinary pressure.
The left lung was badly dis
eased and the cavities packed full
of yellow cheesy pus.
The mediastinal gland ian or
gan lying between the two lobes
of the lungs) was in similar con-
dition to the cervical and en-
larged fully fifty diameters.
Dead matter had taken the place
of the former living tissues as in
the other two specimens mention
ed in the foregoing. The liver,
while not really badly diseased
in comparison with some of the
other organs, showed the pres
ence of the disease in several tu-
bercular spots.
The mesenteric gland (glands
running along with the intes-
tines), were enlarged to many
times their normal size, and in
the almost unspeakably sickening
condition interiorly, as were the
other organs specifically men,
toned.
In fact every organ of the body
was more or less diseased, most of
them in such frightful condition
that the novice in such matters
could see enough to make him
shudder at the thought of using
the milk or Juicy" steak from
such an animal.
Many persons who would not
shrink from using milk from one
of their own cows that had a
bad bone," were heard to protest
that such an exhibit was 'unsani-
tary" and dangerous. Such
was not the case. The tent and

The first carload of potatoes
shipped out of Askov this season
left Saturday, being handled by
A. Henriksen. The spuds brought

About 60 carloads of rutabagas

down to SO per ton on the later

Of putting up rural mail boxes.
A cement block about Is inches

with a 4 foot, II inch iron pipe
upright in the center of it, and at
the top a ii or Is inch similar
pipe is fastened TO form a right

| Arnold Sorensen recently Sc
cured a registered Holstein bull
calf from the Jean Duluth farm
at Nickerson, paying $125 for
half interest in same. Adolph
Linge brought the animal down
from Nickerson and also recured
a registered Holstein heifer there
for himself.
A serious accident was narrow
ly avoided in the Askov garage
Tuesday. Peter Thomson drove
his fathers Ford car into the
garage and came along too fast
for comfort, and furthermore his
brakes were out of order. There
were several people standing in
the garage among them being
Norman Christensen. Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris T. Christensen's little
boy. Someone grabbed him by
the arm in an effort to drag him
out of the path of the car; but
did not succeed and he fell flat
on the floor and before he could
get up the car had passed over
him slightly bruising his one arm.
The car continued on to the rear
of the garage and crashed into
the rear bumper of c. M. Nelson's
coupe and pushed this on so the
front bumper of it went up
against the rear door of the build
ing and here both cars came to a
stop. Peter evidently realized
there was something radically
wrong and in his excitement
jumped out of the car leaving it
in high speed before it hit the
Nelson car. Both cars were only
slightly damaged.
The semi-annual inspection trip
over the mail routes was made by
the postmaster the first of this
week and he reports that Anker
M. Simonsen is an extremely
good fellow when it comes to not
kicking about poor roads. Going
south from Hans Bagge's place |
to the next corner. 1 of mile.
and thence west l mile, is I'm
doubtedly the poorest piece of
road in the community, in fast
the farmers along there say |
there is no road there at all. Just |
holes and ruts. Another short !
stretch that is very poor is from
Jens p. Bie's place to the corner
south of him, only a quarter of
a mile. Mr.. Simonsen says that |
the road boss has promised him
every year the past three years
that it would be fixed in the fall,
and he is hoping that fall will
soon be here. If the road is not
fixed this fall it will be impos-
sible to get through in the spring
which will necessitate a different
course for the mail route. The
postmaster also reports that sew
eral of the farmers could assist
the carriers greatly by just a little
work on the road around their
particular mail box, filing up the
rut or moving the box in.

exceeds $5OO,OOO, and of this pro duction more than one, half has been expended in the hauling of supplies to and from the mines. $2OO, ,OOO of this tremendous ire fight cost has been a loss due to the fact that there has never been a road to the Chandalar District More serious is the fact that lack of transportation facilities makes impossible the development of of this great gold quartz and plac CT District.
 The tremendous mineral resour ces of the White River District are still more inaccessible.
 Our transportation costs in these two districts have exceed ed $125,O0O, and of this amount more thrn $75,OO0, can be charg ed to loss due to lack of roads In one case we have 5C% of our total production as chargable to adverse freight conditi ons. This parce ltage of loss is greater than tn average one third cited adove, but in this lns1a1le some of the freight charges were on equipment which charges do not recnr annually, but the example shows the appalling handicap min ing is laboring under i'll inter for Alaska.
 Without freight conditions be ing improved by the construction of roads into the Districts, Alaska mi ming is doomed, but with road construction cutting the operat in g the operating costs, the min eral industry can be made to pay for years without exhaust ing the great bodies of high and low grade ores.
 The construction will go far to solve AlasKa's ills. Individual.states spend millions on single road project, yet Alas ka does not get sufficient help to enable her to progress intelligen tly in road building.
