trip, held Monday, July 28th was
The annual summer demonstration
very successful. Thirty cars carry
ing over 100 people from all parts OF
the county made most of the ten
stops. The demonstration trip started
at the farm of Rasmussen Bros, one
and one half miles south of Martell
where flax and barley and fax and
oats were observed. Mr.. A. H.
Wright of the Agronomy Dept. who
is running numerous experiments
with flax and other grain in the state
explained results of other trial plots
in the state The second stop was
made at the P. N. Aasterud farm,
where DR.. H. Downey the Federal
T. B. Tester explained the testing of
cattle for tuberculosis. He read re-
suits of tests made on the Aasterud
herd. He explained very carefully
how a test was made and read and
gave a number of valuable statistics
in regard to T. B. testing in other
parts of the state and the United
States. At 1920 we arrived at the
Paul Bjerking farm where a lime
stone crusher was in operation. A
number of farmers were very much
interested in this feature and numer-
Gus questions were asked in regard
to the feasibility of grinding lime
stone in the county Lined and I'm
lined plots of alfalfa were observed
and also a new seeding of alfalfa.

GUARDIAN NEEDED

For long time The Journal has
been advocating the establishment of
some sort of solicitors censorship in
River Falls; an agreement among
the businessmen of this city upon
someone to issue credentials to out
siders who come here begging out
right or promoting various soliciting
schemes.
If nothing is done about it, River
Falls, will gain more and more fame
as an easy town, and be literally
flooded with itinerate grafters and
CRITTERS of all kinds.
They promote advertising
schemes" taking more commission
for useless ads. than local printers
would charge to arrange and print
real advertising that would have ten
times the value. They sell motions"
at twice the price your store-keeper
would charge you for the same.
Others specialize in hardluck stories
and out-and-out begging. Ninety
nine and nine-tenths per cent of it
is pure bunk.
Rice Lake has a credit bureau
which passes on all this and the fol-
lowing item on the subject, from the
Rice Lake Chronotype should be of
exceptional interest to the business
and professional men of River Falls:
"Week after week the Rice Lake
Credit Bureau renders service to the
business and professional men of
Rice Lake worth hundreds Of dollars.
The usual run of grafters give Rice
Lake a wide berth. New schemes
are constantly Matched in the minds
of these fertile grafters for extract
ing nice fat commissions out of bu-
siress men who receive little or no.
thing in return. Last week an out
side publication tried to put across a
subscription scheme by which the
business men would pay for the pa
pers sold to farmers, but it was turn
ed down. Solicitors have to show
their credentials before being turned
loose, and in many cases they are
found to be absolute frauds and are
ordered out of town. If our people
In general demand to see ar authori-
cation card from the Credit Bureau
before donation they will not get
stung. Just remember that the Rice
Lake Credit Bureau is here to pro-
tect you against the ravages of these
subscription hounds, panhandlers and
grafters."

The next stop was made at the home
of julie Lund at Ell Paso where an s.
year old field of alfalfa was looked
over and the value of cultivating an
alfalfa field for removing witch grass
and june grass was observed. Mr..
Lund is an enthusiastic alfalfa grow
er and has been raising some seed
for the past two years. In the or
chard across the road Mr.. Kuehner of
the Horticulture Department, prun-
ed several small trees and told how
TO care for an orchard. A few min
utes were spent on the culling of
chickens in which many were inter-
ested. By noon the cavalcade of cars
reached Ell Paso where the Commun-
ity Club served a cafeteria dinner
which everybody heartily enjoyed. A
short program was then carried out
in which Mr.. Anderson, representing
the Northwest Dairy Exposition gave
a brief talk on what they were plan
ming to do at the Minnesota State
Fair this fall. Mr.. George riggs of
the Agronomy Department gave one
of his good talks, and this was fol-
lowed by a few remarks by Mr..
Kuehner of the Horticulture Depart
ment on caring for apples, and Mr..
Wright on grain mixtures.
At a quarter to two o'clock we
journeyed on to A. M. Anderson and
Son where the vaule of pasture COR
swine was discussed. The results
obtained by pasturing pigs on alfalfa
and rape pastures were given, sLow-
ing that pigs on such pastures were
gaining pound day. The George
Mumford farm was the next farm
visited and an excellent field of alf
alta was inspected and a new seeding
of alfalfa looked over. Different
varieties of soybeans aand corn were
looked over. Then, Mr.. Mumford
having the endgate and hopper lime
stone spreaders, showed how they
worked by operating them. After
looking over the herd Of Guernsey
cattle and the calves owend by the
Mumford Calf Club members, the
folks travelled on to the L. H. Kraus
farm where a fine field of soybeans
planted in rows for hay and cultivat-
ed was inspected. The value of such
soy beans are nearly equal to alfalfa
for hay. At $3.50 p. m. we arrived
at Jim Haessly's farm where another
field of soybeans, sown broadcast was
looked over. The last stop was
made at the VIM Moran farm where
some fine fields of alfalfa were seen.
The crowd went over to Mr.. Reuth
er's farm and a discussion on or
chards was carried on by Mr.. Kuehner
in regard to pruning and spraying
trees. John Moran, a Baby Beef Rnd
Pig Club member, exhibited his calf
and pig. Mrs. Moran answered some
questions in regard to turkey raising.
At 5 o'clock all started for home say
ing that it was the end of a perfect
day.
