TO Handle Soft
Corn PrOfitdbly
PROF. BOSS OF UNIVERSITY
MAKES INTERESTING sUGGES.
TIONS TO, FARMERS.

Owing to the fact that there will
be much soft corn in this section of
the state this year, the farmer, who
has a silo on his farm, will be the
one which has the advantage. Red
wood county is short on silos, as, many
farmers have not yet observed the
value of this adjunct to farm activ-
ity.
Foreseeing that there will be much
soft or immature corn grown in Min
nesota this year, Professor Andrew
Boss, vice director Of the Minnesota
Experiment Station, University Farm,
makes several suggestions as to how
such corn -as may be harvested can be
saved and fed to the best advantage.
"Corn is short and the yield will be
light in most cases." says Professor
Boss. There has been frost damage
already in low spots and in the north
ern part Of the state. The chances
are that many farmers will be obliged
to face the problem of handling a
soft crop"
Professor Boss suggestions as to
what can be done in the emergency
are:
L. Husk and crib all mature corn
for it will be in strong demand before
the next crop natures.
2. Put as much as possible Of the
soft corn in the silo. Those who do
not have siloS can preserve corn sat-
isfactory by the stock method.
3. Cut as soon as frost is indicated
and shock well in large tightly bound
shocks. Reshock if necessary as the
corn cures so as to keep the shocks
erect and weather proof. Feed as dry
fodder or use to refill the silos when
empty from the first filing. If used
for silage after drying, it may be nec-
essary to add some water in filing.
A. Turn fattening cattle, hogs and
sheep into the field before the stalks
are wasted, thus savings the labor of
harvesting and storing. Market the
stock as rapidly as it finishes or when
the corn is gone.
5. Snap and crib for winter feed
ing all corn that has reached the hard
glazes or dented stage. The cribs
should be narrow and ventilation
should be provided by the insertion
of poles or tile through the length
or crosswise of the crib.
Professor Boss makes three sug-
gestions for the securing of seed for
next years planting. These are:
/. Save all stocks of seed of good
terminating quality from last years
crop.
2. Have q seed-corn week on your
farm and pick and cure the most ma

County Fair
Is Successful
10000 PEOPLE ATTEND ON BIG
DAY, PROCEEDS EQUAL
THOSE OF LAST YEAR.

The Redwood County fair closed
last Friday evening after successful
week, marred by bad weather only on
the last day when rain interfered with
the afternoon program to some ex-
tent. The attendance was about the
same as the fair of 1923, the largest
attendance, that of Thursday, being
estimated by the fair management at
about 10000. The financial report is
not yet ready for publication but it
has been definitely determined that
the fair was about as successful fin
ancially as it's predecessors. The in
creased grandstand is not yet large
enough to accommodate all those wish
ing to see the racing and vaudeville
programs, the poultry building is in
adequate for the display and there are
many other signs that the fair is still
growing.
The complete change of platform
attractions for Thursday and Friday
was pleasing to many who visited the
fair upon several occasions. Each
program had some excellent features,
the auto push ball, the animal circus
and the Chinese acrobatic act proving
of wonderful interest. Coupled with
the races these attractions afforded
splendid entertainment for the crowds
each afternoon, and followed by the
dancing in the evening furnished
plenty of fun for those attending each
evening. A number of splendid bands
of Redwood County and vicinity fur
nished the music about the grounds
while Lerschen's orchestra played for
the dancing.
Exhibits were in many lines the
best shown in years. One of the
surprises of the fair was the excellent
showing of corn made. many people
having supposed that there is no good
corn this season. Winners Of the
yellow and white corn classes includ-
ed T. Hoskin of North Redwood, C. A.
Marsh of Delhi, Grant Martin, David
Thomas of Morton, Fred Woodford,
E. F. Hessman, H. F. Tufto of Sacred
Heart, Frank Theiring and others.
Mines. Alvin Duncan, Colberg, Roy
Woodford. Carr and Bishop took a
number of prizes in the various classes
of sweet corn and pop corn. Equally
Hne were the displays Oh grams anu
vegetables, grasses and other farm
produce. In these classes and in the
exhibit of fruits which was so attrac-
tive to many, the prizes were too
numerous to permit of publication.
Poultry was another exhibit which
was extremely large and especially
fine. The total number of birds
shown was 548. OF these Mrs. E. E.
mosier showed the largest number of
any single individual, capturing many
of the grand champion ribbons and
first prizes on her Barred Rocks.
There were large number of exhi-
bitors ont of the county and the show
was marked by the exceptionally
small number of birds disqualified
The poultry quarters are much too
small for the exhibit and one of the
necessities of the next fair is a big
ger and better building for this exhi-
bit.
The display in the women's depart
ment was bigger than ever before

Boys and Girls
Clubs Exhibit
CALVES, PIGS, POULTRY AND
CORN DISPLAYED; ONE BOY
DISPLAYS HONEY.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Red
wood County were represented by
a large number of exhibits of live
stock, Poultry, and corn at the Red
wood County fair and these exhibits
attracted much attention from grown
ups as we'll as from children who hope
to be club members next year. This
work has been done under the leader
ship of the county agent, Lynn Shell
don.
In the baby beef club Armen Kuehn
of Wabasso was pronounced the Coun-
ty Champion with his purebred Junior
yearling Hereford. VIM. Scanlon of
Belview took second in this class with
his Polled Angus. George Hageman
of Sanborn took first on his grade
junior yearling Hereford. Irwin
Kuehn of Wabasso took first in the
purebred calf class and Clarence
Steinlicht of Delhi took second. All
these boys have won free trips to the
Junior Live Stock Show to be held in
South st. Paul in November. Harold
Coulter of Lamberton also won this
trip by having the champion pen of
market cockerels. Other members of
the Poultry Club also exhibited, but
without coppetion in any of the
classes.
George Henning of Wabasso has
the County Champion Dairy calf in a
yearling grade Holstein. Glen Nolt-
ing took second prize in this class
and Dorothy Slaymaker third. Ro-
bert Noting of Lamberton took first
prize on his two year old Holstein
and Harry Knudson of Morgan took
second prize.
In the Pig Club, Barton Meyer of
Sanborn took first on his purebred
Duroc-Jersey gilt, Robert Campbell
took first on his Hampshire gilt, Joe
Scanlon of Belview took first on his
fat barrow thus winning free trip
to the Junior Stock Show, Hazel Sande
of Delhi won second in this class and
Anna Scanlon third. Archie Den
nistoun took first on his fat lamb.
William Lord of Walnut Grove took
first prize and sweepstakes on ter

and Vincent Lord third. Lawrence
Boklep of Belview took first on ter
ears of yellow corn, Harold Meyers OF
Sanborn second and Ira Severson Of

ChriStianSOn
Seeks Reform
PROMISES REDUCTION IN MUM.
BER OF EMPLOYEES AND
BUDGET LAW.
(From Hutchinson Leader)

Theodore E. Christianson, repub-
lican candidate for governor, outlined
, the program and policies of the re-
publican party in this campaign to
a crowd of 500 voters in the armory
Tuesday evening. He confined his
talk to state conditions and center
ed his attack on the farmer-labor
platform, appealing to the voters to
save the state from the socialism
threatened by the farmer-labor party.
Mr.. Christianson made an excel
lent impression in his talk here and
displayed a wide knowledge of the
taxation problems of the state He
was preceded on the platform by
Donald o. Wright, Minneapolis at
torney and member Of the republican
state central committee, who outlined
the national issues in the campaign.
Mr.. Wright made a special plea for
the preservation of the constitution
and against the abridging Of the pow
ers of the supreme court.
The republican candidate for gov
ernor opened his talk with some COM
plimentary remarks regarding two
acquaintances and friends of long
standing in this community, w. w.
Sivright, chairman of the state re-
publican central committee, and Car
los Avery, the democratic nominee for
governor.
Mr.. Christianson outlined the period
of depression from which the state is
only beginning to emerge, from the
sudden initiation in prices of farm
products and farm lands during the
war to the def1ation following the
drop in prices with the opening of
world markets after the war. He
said ''This situation has come about
through the operation of economic
forces over which no political party
had any CONTROL" and briefly outlined
the measures taken for the relief of
the farmers in this state under a re-
publican administration. He cited
the Federal Land Bank act and the
rural credits amendment in Minnesota
as measures which have relieved the
farmers of a part of their burden of
excessively high interest rates and
said the rural credits amendment, in
troduced by himself in 1921, resulted
in lowering interest rates on farm
mortgages from " to 2 per cent.
Collective bargaining through the
formation of cooperative associations
was also cited as one of the move
ments forwarding the farmers inter
ests during this period Of depression
The cooperative law Of Minnesots
was introduced by Mr.. Christiansor
and group of state senators in 1918
following the formation of the Twin
City Milk Producers association in
1918 and the securing of an indict-
ment against the officers of that or.
ganization for conspiracy in restraint
of trade"
The definition of a progressive
policy was given as ga policy thai
promoted the interests of the peo
pie" and reactionary policy as "a
policy that defeats the aspirations
for the improvement of condition:
among the people" The policy Of
the republican party was character.

GOOD YEAR IN SIGHT

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Information published in the current issue of the railway Age indicates that the rail- ways in 1924 will invest approximate fly as much new capital in permanent improvements and equipment as they did in 1923, if no legislation adverse to the railways is passed or serious ly threatened by congress. The sig nificance of this information becomes apparent only when it is realized that the total investment made in new facilities in 1923 surpassed those of any previous years, excepting possibly 1910 and 1911.
 Th1rty-four railways operating 1O9,- 4l5 miles of line have furnished the Railway Age the details of their 1924 budgets as far as they have been made up. These show that these roads al ready have definite plans for making capital expenditures during the pres ent year, amounting to S350,OO0, ,00O Railways having approximately the same mileage made estimates aggre-- gating approximately the same am- ount at the beginning of 1922
 Capital expenditures made in the year 1923,' says the Railway Age lag gregated $1,O76,0OO,O00 The forecast for 1924 that capital expenditures this year will be approximately the same, is based on comparison of amount already authorized and defin- itely planned for expenditure during 1924 with similar figures of a year a. go. The most important adverse in fluence which is tending to retard the authorization of improvement work at this time is the uncertainty regarding the attitude of congress. This condition is causing hesitation on the part of many executives"

WILL TRY FOR CLOSING
 THE HALlBUT SEASON

That an effort will be made during the present session of Congress to SC cure legislation providing for clos ed season on halibut fishing during the mid winter, is indicated in com- munications received from Chas. b. Garfield, of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 Efforts along the same lines made last year came too late in the season but it is hoped to succeed this year
 A 9O-day closed season is to be sought extending from November 16, to February 15 annually. This is gen erally conceded to be the spawning season for halibut. It is also the most stormy period of the year and annually lives and boats are lost on fishing trips and severe hardships en countered by every boat engaged in the industry.
 Such a season was provided for by the Canadian Parliament last year in an act that was assented to on June 30 last. It is desired to have the American law, if one is passed coin eide with that of Canada.

MEN E|VTOMBED BY SNOW SLIDE:
 AT FERN MINE

Entombed beneath tons of snow where they were held prisoners for ten hours while death in it's most hid eous form lurked near, was the eXpe- rience of Lee and Ereo Johnson, mi ners employed at the Fern mine, at the head Of Archangel creek, Willow creek district.
 While eating their midnight lunch, in the mine blacksmith shop, located at the mouth of No. tunnel, on the night of January IS, a snowslide came down, burying the blacksmith shop and crushing it almost flat piling snow upon the entrapped men, who were held prone, Lee Johnson across the blacksmith forge and Zero on his back with his arm extended to where it touched the corrugated roof, but encased in snow
 News of the near-tragedy was brought to Anchorage by H. Mass amalgamator at the Willow Creek Mines Company, who assisted in dig ging the men out
 Lee and Johnson were working on the night shift with Supt. McDougall and Ericson and another miner on the day shift on the 600 foot tunnel being driven to crosscut the 300-foot | level shoot.
 When the men did not show up the day crew climbed the hill and found the tunnel covered with snow and the blacksmith shop smashed in and bur jed The snow was packed in hard and digging was difficult, but they found Johnsons hand sticking out ot the snow just beneath the corrugated iron roof which he had been tapping all night to attract attention. His body was covered with snow and but small aperture was about his face where his breath had melted the snow away, thus giving him breathing room. He was conscious. Digging a l little farther they found Lee John, son lying across the forge uncon scious He was revived after two and a half hours massaging and first aid treatment. The men are stiff and sore from their cramped positions in | the snow but otherwise unharmed.
