ACTIVITIES IN COUNTY
FARM BUREAU WORK
BY w. y. HAMMARGREN
County Agent.

Below is a letter which will be
of value to people interested in
the eradication of tuberculosis
among cattle and especially
those that have signed agree
ments to have their cattle tested.
This letter has been sent to the
different veterinarians in the
state and has been sent to the
county extension office by the
federal veterinarian in explain
ing why there will be no more
new herds tested this fall. The
letter reads in part as follows:
The state appropriation of
100000 for payment of indem-
nifty for cattle condemned under
the general work throughout the
state for the present fiscal year,
terminating June 80, 1925, is
practically exhausted. We have
a small balance left which will
be required for the payment OF
indemnity for cattle that will be
disclosed as a result of the neces-
sary retests of herds which dis
closed reactors that were tested
by practicing veterinarians under
the Owners Agreement and al
so under the Accredited Herd
Plan Agreement.
AT recent meeting of this
board it was directed that all
tests of new herds under the
Owners Agreement or under the
Accredited Herd Agreement
must be discontinued, with the
exception of the testing of cattle
that is necessary in order to COM
ply with city milk ordinances,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1924-11-13

for shipments interstate, retests
of importations of pure bred
cattle and the annual retesting
of the accredited herds.
Please advise all owners who
desire you to make tests of new
herds that we cannot accept the
Owners Agreement or test
under the Accredited Herd
Agreement for the reason that
the funds are exhausted.
I'VE will request an emergency
appropriation from the Legisla-
ture this coming session of
100000 for the general fund for
the balance of this fiscal year.
However, if the Legislature al
lows this we do not anticipate
that it will be available until
practically the latter part of the
session, which will be some time
in April.
THE annual appropriation for
indemnity for tuberculous cattle
under the area plan is sufficient
for making the necessary retests
of the four counties that have al
ready been tested, and we will
make the first complete test of
all the cattle in the fifth county.
I'VE are also requesting an APP
preparation of 100000 annually
for the coming biennium for the
payment of general indemnity
throughout the state.
This proves that the appro-
priations made by the state for
the eradication of tuberculosis in
cattle is inadequate. Everyone
interested in the promotion of
this work should make it point
to see the representative in the
Legislature and find out where he
stands. This is a very important
work and should not be ham
pered by too small appropria-
lions. You can do considerable
to help along this good work by
writing your senator or repre-
sentative urging them to do
everything possible to see that
the shortage of funds will not
have to come into consideration
during the next two years"

FALL SET PLANT AND
SHRUB NEED CARE NOW

Fall set plants should be kept
wet as winter approaches. Mois-
ture may be conserved by a
mulch of strawy manure in the
case of woody plants, and marsh
hay or straw in the case of many
perennials, says c. E. Cary, who
is in charge of the section of
landscape gardening of the hor-
ticultural division, University of
Minnesota. The mulch will pre-
vent the alternate freezing and
thawing of the ground which is
SO damaging to fall set plants.
Smooth-barked trees, if fall
planted, should be wrapped with
loose burlap sacking or shaded in
some way from the sun which sti-
mulates premature sap activity
in the late winter or early spring.
Trees like the Eastwood, maple
and mountain ash are particular
ly benefited by this protection,
says Mr.. Cary. 1t is also impor-
tant that fall planted trees of
large size be staked or supported
in some way SO that winter winds
will not damage the root system
and keep it from becoming well
established.
Woody shrubs which make an
excessive growth the past sum-
mer might well be tied up to pre-
vent breakage from heavy snow
fall and winds. As the action of
frost on newly prepared ground
is beneficial, areas that are to be
planted in the spring to flower
ing bulbs should be dug up at this
time.

and every sizable task requires
real thought and a lot of it.
The man who fails in every job
he is given, fails usually because
it is too much trouble to think
about it.
He can of course explain his
failure by saying: Il never
thought. but that sort of explain
alton is a confession of incapaci-
ty, and usually costs him his job.

PROCLA NATION

Sunday, December seventh,
1924. has been designated as
Golden Rule Sunday, by repre-
sentatives Of twenty nations who
met recently at Geneva to deter
mine the best manner of alleviat-
ing the distress of the tens of
thousands of sufferers in the
Near East who were victims of
the late World War.
President Coolidge has official
ly Endorsed this movement and
urged the people of the United
States to participate, saying:
II believe that the international OBJ
servance OF this day may not only
save lives OF thousands OF destitute.
but may possibly have an even great
er benefit In the way OF reflex influ-
ence upon those who thus observe
the Golden Rule and help to establish
Il as a reality In daily liying... The
International observance OF this day
might well contribute materially to
the betterment OF international rela-
tions and abiding world peace"
The orphans and sufferers in
the Near East, are in a sense, in
ternational wards, but our own
country is enjoying greater ma
terial prosperity than any other
nation, ard should be able to do
more than its pro rata share. |
sincerely hope that Golden Rule
Sunday win be generally OBJ
served throughout Minnesota and
that the people of this state, who
are always generous, will be
especially liberal in this most
worthy cause.

People who think at all, in
time will come to think intelli-
gently.
But people who think at all
are in the minority.
The commonest excuse of the
blunderer whose mistakes have
cost himself or others a great
deal Of money or endless incon-
veniences is: IL never thought
Of that"
However trivial our own do
ings may be compared to those of
the entire race, they are of the
most tremendous Importance to
us. for by them we must stand or
fall. survive or perish.
Not to think Of them or to
think of them only in careless
and haphazard way is the most
utter folly.
Out of every one hundred
young men who start in business,
not more than ten become really
successful.
Those ten are the ones who
think.
The others go through the mo-
tions of their work regularly
enough, but there are few Of
them who cannot some day be
replaced by the marvellous ma
chimes which are being constant
ly devised to reduce to the mini
mum the labor Of human hands.
But no machine will ever re-
place the thinker.
The man in the front office who
is responsible for the business
that the concern has got. and
who has spent long days and
nights working out ways and
means to hold il and to get more
business can not be substituted
with any machine.
He got where he is now by CIV
ing every job entrusted to him
the amount of thought it re-
quired.
He never had to say, Il never
thought of that" when a rival
concern introduced new system
of getting business.
He thought of it as soon or
sooner than the rival concern did,
and adopted it and got results
out of it.
During the war commanders
on both sides were often compel
led to say that they had never
thought of methods of warfare
which the enemy was putting in
to use with deadly results.
They We're not the commanders

CURB SECURITIES SHOW FIRMNESS
Dealings Generally Are
 Dominated By Upward Tendency

NEW YORK. June 10.-Curb secur- ities displayed firm tone today, deal ings generally being dominated by an upward tendency, although of moderate volume. Most attention was given to the oils and public ulities.
 Prairie Oil and Gas moved up 212 points and several other issues scored fractional advances, operations seem ingly being in the hands chiefly of pro- fessionals, although at times there was evidence of outside buying Standard Oil of Nebraska lost three points and Salt Creek producers and South Pennsylvania Oil point each.
 Activity ill the industrial list was overshadowed by public utility shares, the largest gains being made in this group. Commonwealth Power gained 31a points, other issues showing con- tinued strength that has characterized the recent movement. Lehigh Valley Coal certificates were prominent, trans actions reaching more than 12,O0O and closing one half point higher on the day. Motor shares were quiet, Ford Motors of Canada losing points. The lower priced issued seemed to attract most attention. Radio shares were well bought

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-11

The most favored industrial workers have been the iron and steel, foundry and automobile factory employees. The heavy demand for construction mate rials and the feverish production of au- tomobiles until recently have kept these groups of workers very busy.
 At the present time, one of the most significant features of the industrial situation is that while the demand for labor has fallen off appreciably, there has been no widespread movement to reduce wage rates. Many authorities take this to indicate that the demand for workers will increase again so soon as to make wage controversies now im- practical. Other observers see greater effort than ever before to maintain in dustrial peace and good will.

COTTON. LETTERS

NEW YORK, June 10.-In view of the higher Liverpool this morning, our market opened above last nights close. The particular feature on the opening was the rather brisk demand for Oc- tober, but business. nevertheless, was not in very large volume. The weather map, as posted this morning, was con- strued to be about a stand off with the northern portion of the belt un- settled, whereas the southern part was favorable. The outside interest in the market is very small and there does not seem to be a very urgent desire to buy cotton until signs of very bad weather appear again. The market, as we said before. is a weather market at present, and just as long as the map is any way favorable, the market will remain easy. We do not look for much of a decline because limited orders are 8 in the market from the trade which ab- sorb the cotton on all these dips. The difference between July and October narrowed again this morning. There Is a great difference of opinion regarding recover most of its losses. The recent liquidation has been rather healthy for this month. The ultimate price of July however, depends to great extent on the amount of cotton that is consigned here and made possible for delivery on that month. As yet, the New York stock remains around 57.000 bales Liv- erpool futures are due tomorrow, July 16.62: October, 15.13.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

WEEKLY EARNINGS
IMPORTERS pay envelopes are still w healthy in comparison with last uaar

According to the National Industrial Conference board. which compiled the figlres used iH the above chart, average weekly earnings in the last report were greater in most of the more important industries than they were twelve months previous.
 The most noticeable exceptions are the. cotton textile .and the boot and shoe industries. Those, both, have for some time been treading the paths of depression. In fact, it is surprising, in view of considerable unemployment, that earnings in these two industries have not fallen off to larger extent.
