Session Opens
at Farm School
PRESIDENT REED SEES NEED
OF MORE LEGISLATION TO AID
FARMER: COFFEY AND COVER
DALE SPEAK.

Despite present improved conditions
in agriculture, there must be further
national legislation placing farming
on an equal footing with other bust
ness groups before there can be any
assurance of permanent agricultural
soundness, J. F. Reed, president of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, declared Monday
He spoke at the opening session of
the federation's annual convention
held at the University Farm school.
The meeting marked the opening of
the annual Farmers and Homemak-
ers' short course at the Farm school,
which will continue all week. Tues
day and Wednesday the Farm Bureau
Federation will shift it's sessions to
the Capitol.
Mr. Reed warned it is fallacy tc
consider causes of the recent agricul-
tural depression ass removed. Pres
ent improved conditions, he declared,
resulted only from a combination of
circumstances which brought a good
grain crop in this country and poor
crop in the rest of the world.
He also declared that there has
been an average net cash increase in
returns to Minnesota farms this year
of only 6 per cent as compared with
the previous year. The increase was
largely in the grain sections, he stat
ed.
Mr.. Reed refuted charges made by
persons outside of agriculture that
farmers have not been efficient. He
asserted that farmers of the Middle
west have increased in efficiency
more rapidly in the past fourteen
years than any other group in the

DEPARTMENT ON EASTERN
EMBARGO.

Hugh ]. Hughes, Director of Mar

gives the Minnesota Farm Bureau
the following summary of the poul-
try situation following the scare owe,
the mysterious fowl disease which
caused Eastern states to place an en-
barge on live poultry:
"The New York state embargo
against poultry shipments from the
middle west to the New York mar
ket had a serious temporary effect on
the marketing of Christmas poultry.
The situation was this:
During the late summer and fall
heavy losses occurred IN connection
with poultry arriving on the N. y
market; the fowls arrived apparently
in fair condition and sometimes with
in days time were swept away by
disease, that naturally was thought
to have been contracted in the middle
west, and that became apparent about
the time of arrival.
"New York dealers apparently were
covering up this situation in order to
avoid personal loss in so far as they
could do so. Finally tie loss became
so sweeping that they appealed to the
health authorities of the state and
the city.
"The State Commissioner of farms
and markets took vigorous steps t.
strike at the disease from every angle.
One of these steps was 10 forbid ship
ments from the middle vest entering
the state Of New York. Following
up the disease, it was found to exis.
on Long Island and at number OF

SOUTHSIDE TEAM GETS TASTE
OF OWN MEDICINE IN BOUT
WITH GUARDSMEN HERE FRI
DAY EVENING.

Last Friday evening the Redwood
Guardsmen showed the Independent
players from Lamberton few of the
first principles of basketball in hot
ly contested scramble for the essen
tial points. The Guardsmen were
anxious to wipe out their defeat of a
few weeks ago at the LambertoE
bunch and they played the visitors off
their feet from start to conclusion.
Lamberton started things off with
bang when Nigg dropped in a
counter in the first minute of play.
Runt Lamberton made fitting reply
by promptly ringing up two points
for the guardsmen, and Scotty DON
lon did his bit by netting a free throw
to give the purple and gold tossers a
lead of one point. Runt was we'll
warmed up by this time and he be-
gan sinking the pumpkin from all over
the floor and points east. Polly
Gaasch contributed a field goal and
the quarter ended with the score boy
marking up 11-2 with Redwood just
beginning to feel pleased.
Castle looped in clean shot for
the first two points in the second
round but was hurt in the attempt
and time was taken out till he got
his bearings. Play was resumed and
maniac and sunk the pill from the
center of the floor. Nigg, of LAM
berton, took the ball on the tip OIL
and counted another deuce for the
green and white. This brought the
score up to for the visitors to Is
for the local lads. This looked dang
erous to the Guardsmen so they call
ed time out to think things over.
The result was that Castle went in
and slipped in free throw while
Runt shortly afterwards tossed the
old grapefruit through the ring for
another two points. The half ended
with the game as uninteresting as a
fire in an ammunition factory, and
the score Redwood Is and Lamber-
ton 4.
Both teams were considerably both
cred by the slippery floor but this was
much worse during the first quarter
than later in the game. There was
considerable wild passing all through
the game and every man on the floor
seemed to have the idea that it made
the game more interesting to have
the opposing side in possession Of
the ball.
The third quarter opened right up
with Bendixen of Lamberton taking
the ball and netting another two
points for the Green Sox. Runt was
fouled and given two trys at the ring,
both of which he sunk for single
points. Castle took the ball under
Redwood's hoop and added another
couple points to the tally. Bendixen
followed with field goal and ended
Lamberton's scoring for the evening.
Castle then sunk a free throw and a
field goal and Polly worked the ball
down to within range of the loop and
-, another counter. Scotty, who

Couple Is
HOnOred at
Golden Wedding
MIR. AND MRS. CHRIS OLSON
GUESTS OF OLD NEIGHBORS
AT BELVIEW SUNDAY TO
CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY.

Mr. and Mrs. Chris Olson of Red
wood Falls fittingly celebrated their
fftieth wedding anniversary Sunday,
December 28th, spending the day as
the honored guests of their children
and old neighbors at Belview They
were asked to spend the day at the
home of their daughter Mrs. H. o.
Hegdahl but upon their arrival there
found that elaborate plans had been
made for their entertainment at the
Norwegian Lutheran Church of which
they have been faithful and devoted
members throughout all the years of
their residence in Belview.
A hundred, fifty guests were served
at the tables set in the dining room
of the church At the honor table
were seated Mr. and Mrs. Olson and
the members of their family and Rev.
Freitheit the pastor of the church.
At the close of the excellent dinner
served, Mr.. Freitheit paid fitting tri-
butte to Mr.. and Mrs. Olson in short
talk which expressed the respect and
regard in which they are held by their
old neighbors. At the close of his
talk Mr.. Freitheit presented the "bride
and groom" with a purse containing
fifty dollars in gold and quantity of
silver and currency. In responding
to this talk and in accepting the gift
Mr.. Olson showed the deep apprecia-
tion felt by himself and his wife. He
in turn presented gift of one hun
dred dollars to the Missions of his
church thus providing fitting men,
orial of the happy occasion.
Rev. Sandager of Belview who has
known the Olson family for more that
forty years, was the second speaker
who paid tribute to them by telling
of his years of neighboring with them
and of the power for good which they
had always been in the church and
the community. Other old neighbors
who made short talks in a similar
spirit were c. Knutson, r. G.. Rierson,
Andrew Gimmestad and Andrew Mon
son.
The church choir added much to
the occasion by singing four songs
At the close of the program there
was social time in which Mr.. and
Mrs Olson received congratulations
on having spent fifty years in close
companionship. The remainder of
the afternoon was spent in visiting
and substantial luncheon was serv-
ed before the guests departed for
their homes. Among the heartiest
congratulations were those extended
by the six children of the couple, Mrs.
Hegdahl of Belview, and their sons
George, Casper, Oscar and Chester
of Redwood Falls and Clarence of
Belview.
Redwood County has few citizens
who merit more respect or admiration
for the usefulness and service of their
lives than do Mr.. and Mrs Olson and
they are the recipients of congratula-
tions and best wishes, not only from
the friends who gathered with them
on Sunday, but from all their many
acquaintances in Redwood Falls and
elsewhere throughout the County.

Hopkins Wins
in Game with
Company Team
VISITORS WALLOP HOME TEAM
IN ONE OF FASTEST GAMES
EVER PLAYED ON ARMORY
FLOOR.

Last Tuesday evening an excited
crowd of basket ball fans watched
the Hopkins Independents take the
Redwood Guardsmen into camp in one
of the fastest games that has been
played on the armory floor in some
time. Both teams gave all they had
and in each case this was plenty.
The game started at furious pace
which Castle helped along by drop
ping in field goal and a free throw.
Hank Hoffert Immediately followed
with field goal after trying three
or four to get warmed up. Hopkins
then proceeded to take matters into
it's own hands and Johnson rung up
two field goals in about as many
minutes. The guardsmen decided
that. this was carrying things too far
so they called time out to go into
conference. The result of their plan
ming was that Johnson promptly sunk
another counter and gave Hopkins a
one point lead. Scotty then swung
his eye on the loop and at once the
score was 7-6 with Hopkins in the
same place as the ruddar of a ship.
Thus endeth the first quarter.
The second period Castle netted
another free throw and gave the
guardsmen two points advantage over
the Independents. Hopkins at once
brought it's lead down by sinking a
free throw on it's own account but
Hank followed with field goal which
didn't raise the spirits OF Hopkins in
the slightest The Hopkins net art
lists, however, managed to come
around and sink counter of their
own, directly after which the time
keeper stopped matters till next half.
The second half was another edi-
tion of the first. Hank Immediately
took the offensive by looping in a
long shot. Castle followed with his
third free throw, after which John
son of Hopkins rang up five points in
the last part of the third quarter.
This round ended with Redwood lead
ing by one lone point. By this time
the crowd was completely wild and
both teams were raring to get at it
again.
The last stanza was the Waterloo
of the Guardsmen. Hopkins prompt
ly sunk field goal that gave them
lead of a single point, but Buff
Carity came right back with another
counter that gave the purple and gold
battlers the advantage. The Guards
men held this lead up to the last
I three OF four minutes Of play, when
Hutton of Hopkins, who had been off
his form all evening, came back and
sunk a pretty shot for two points
Prang followed with another two
points and the gun put an end to the
tussel with Redwood laughing off a
1920 score.
This game was one of the fastest
and hardest fought that has been seen
here in some time. Hopkins has a
scrappy bunch and should go a long
ways toward district championship
this season. Hutton, the former

Big Show
Held Here
Jan. 1916
ANNUAL REDWOOD COUNTY
POULTRY SHOW TO BE FEA-
TURE OF JANUARY; OFFICERS
MAKE ELABORATE PLANS.

The officers of the Redwood Coun
ty Poultry Association are making
big plans for the annual poultry show
which will be held at the Armory
January 18th, 14th, 18th, and 10TH

fortunate this year in having secured
as Judge Frank Cross of Minneapolis
who for several years has been the
Judge at the State Poultry Show and
is one of the best qualified judges of
the Northwest
The show will be held as formerly
in the armory and the prospect is
bright for exhibits that will excell in
both quality and quantity. Inquiries
concerning the show are being receiv-
ed from various sources and it is ap-
parent that many new exhibitors and
all the old ones will be here with a
their birds. A Junior Corn Show to
be held in connection with this show
is a new feature which is added this
year under the direction of A. F.
Dahlberg, instructor in Agriculture
at the Redwood Falls High School.
In addition to the show proper, ar
rangements are being made under the
direction of County Agent Lynn Shell
don for two sessions of instructive
talks. These programs will be held
in the auditorium of the new public
school building on Wednesday after
noon and Thursday evening. Just
who the speakers will be has not been
definitely ascertained but an effort
will be made to bring Mrs. H. A..
Batchelder, practical poultry raiser
from Bird Island here to speak at one
of these meetings. Mr.. Cross will
also in all probability talk to the poul-
try raisers and there will be other

City Officials
TO Be Elected
January 9Th
ONLY ONE TICKET HEADED By
H. NJ. AUNE IN FIELD; CITIZENS
SHOULD VOTE MORE THAN
1000 STRONG.

Tuesday, January 9th is the date
of the annual city election in Red
wood Falls. The total vote cast in
the city at the November General
Election was 1865 according to figures
from the office of County Auditor l..
P. Larson and Mr.. Larson's estimate
is that the vote of the city should
run to about fourteen hundred if all
the citizens exercised their right of
franchise. In the face of these figur-
es it will be interesting to note how
many residents of voting age are suf
ficiently interested to go to the polls
next Tuesday and endorse the men
who are public spirited enough to
carry on the business of the city, the
majority of them doing it at consider
able sacrifice of their own interests
and time. Even though there is no
contest as in the present election, the
candidates are entitled to good
strong endorsement which can only
be given by good strong vote.
At present there is only one ticket
in the field and any other candidate
will have to proceed by the sticker
method. Public opinion seems very
much to favor the announced ticket
and there is little probability of
stickers being injected into the cleo
tion. The names as they viii appear
on the ballot are as follows.

SOUTH GEORGIA ENTERS
BATTLE LINES

Business men, bankers, news
papers and other interests in
south Georgia have banded to-
gether to click the boil weevil in
Georgia this year" South Geor-
gia has had four lean years of re
turns from cotton, and it is gen
orally agreed that another APP
proach as near to failure as last
years crop was probably would
cause widespread suffering.
In 1920 south Georgia made its
last big cotton crop and it sold
for less than the cost Of produc-
ton, the price slumping from 40
cents to less than 10 cents. In
1921 and 1922 the price was
good, but the yield was small.
while 1928 saw almost a complete
failure of production under wide
spread weevil conditions and the
worst weather during the growing
season in many years.-Quitman

It's Ware county's time to

MIR. Williams is one of the
