SELECT GRAIN EARLY FOR BEST
FAIR EXHIRIT

SELECT GRAIN EARLY FOR BEST
FAIR EXHIBIT
It's time to begin work on a grain
exhibit for the county and other fairs
declares E. D. Holden of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture.
The aim in showing sheaves and
bundles of any crop is to display a
few of the best plants so that they
will bring out, to best advantage, the
purpose for which the grain is grown.
Taking the plants at the right time,
curing, fitting, and binding them to-
gether in an attractive way, all help
make success in the show room.
Several good bundles of grain select,
ed during harvest and cured where
they will not be exposed to rain or
dew is the usual way of preparing
such samples A better way, according
to Holden, is to cut quantity of the
best plants having large ripe heads
and clean bright straw, with a sickle
and cure it carefully Sunlight helps
bleach the stems and improves the APP
pearance.
Before the stems are dry, all the
leaves should be stripped off and the
sample bound together in neat bundles
three or more inches in diameter. All
sheaves need to be stored hanging
head down to preserve their shape and
compactness.
"Soybeans and field peas for hay
sheaf samples should be cut when
we'll podded but before the seed is
mature and while the leaves are still
green says Holden. Curing in rath
er dark room or shady place preserves
the color Care is needed to prevent
the leaves shattering. Bundles OF
these crops are made six or more in
ches in diameter at the center.

This propaganda brought some lit

until that time no organization had
been perfected or even planned and
no movement, however appealing, can
grow without some sort Of crystallized
effort.
There was, first, at the head of the
table Stoklitzky, who later became
secretary of the Russian Federation
OF the Communist Party Of America
This man had been sent here by
Tfotsky for the express purpose of
spreading propaganda and furthering
the communist idea throughout Amer
lea. He had been sent here to work
up class hatred, to create unrest in
the labor classes, and by any means
possible to generate feeling Of ha-
tired against the government among
the working classes to such a point
that revolution would result. Stoklit-
zky stayed for a time in New York,
moving in the latter part of 1918 to
Chicago. Here he lived for several
months on South Kedzie avenue near
Roosevelt road. He was later arrested
In Detroit, where charges of spread
Ing revolutionary propaganda were
brought against him, ending in de-
portation to Russia, where he now
holds Office as head Of the emigration
department.
Others at the Meeting.
Sitting next to him was William
Bross Lloyd, for many years promi-
nsnt in socialist work When the
Russian revolution broke out he as
sociated himself with the bolshevist
or communist movement The others
present were:
Dennis Bait. Detroit man, who later
became a member of the executive COM
mittee Of the Communist party and who
is now lecturing on Communism
throughout the country.
lssac Ferguson, a Chicago lawyer
who, after serving a year in Sing Sing
for advocating revolution, gave up
the Communist idea in disgust and is
now practicing law in Chicago
Joseph Stilson, another Chicago
man, who, after being indicted in
Philadelphia for violation of the es-
pionage act. jumped his bond and fed
the country.

of the Polish federation of the Social
ist party. Kowalsky was one of the
men most prominent in the Com

and wherein the working man would
"come into his own"
In charge OF this investigation Of
radicalism in the Chicago district con-
sidered the fountain head Of Soviet plots
was Jacob Spolansky. who from 1913 was
employed by the Government to in
vestigate all angles Of the red"
movement. 1t was on his findings
and mostly as the result Of his efforts
that a report was made a few months
ago to the Department of Justice in
Washington. Among the reds" Mr..
Spolansky is known as the red
terror" He received numerous warn
ings to withdraw from the investiga-
ton service and several threats have
been made against his life.
100000 In Red Ranks.
The results of this investigation
startled even the Government Off
cials. They proved that what had un-
til that time been considered q ma
tional bugaboo was in reality q well
organized movement with the over
throw Of the United States Govern
men as it's purpose. They proved
that behind this movement was
Russia-"red" Russia-and that all
instructions relating to the conduct
of radicals here came direct from
MOSCOW. they proved that the Com
munist International is out to con-
quer the world and that through it's
sinister propaganda communist ranks
within three years bulged to a nu-
merical strength exceeding q million.
Chicago, it developed from this in
vestigation, is the headquarters for
all radical activity in the United
States. In this city have been held
several secret conventions at which
the overthrow of the Government
was openly advocated and it was In
Chicago that the first move was made
TO establish communism in America.
In the articles to follow Mr.. Spo-
lansky will describe the origin Of this
movement. He will picture It's aims,
its surprising growth and describe in
intimate detail the secret methods of
the organization. He will name the
men behind it and show. to what
amazing extent this sinister propa-
ganda has spread.

Scanlon family of Redwood county
Joe Scanlon won first prize in its
class at the Junior Live Stock Show
with Poland China hog which weigh
ed 440 pounds. William, his elder
brother, had no intention of letting
the younger lad get ahead of him how
ever, and proceeded to get first prize
in it's class on the purebred junior
yearling which he showed.
GA peculiar feature of William
first prize was that the animal which
took first in the state show took only
second in the county show early in
September. 1t was explained, how
ever, that another boy showed the
animal at the county fair, and not be-
ing acquainted with it, did not show
it off to the best advantage. Also
the animal had gained a great deal
during this feeding period. 1t now
weighs 1,540 pounds.
"Prizes at the Live Stock show are
awarded, too, on records, and William
Scanlon's record was exceedingly
high.
"a cousin, Virginia Scanlon, won
the baby beef grand champion three
years ago. Joe has shown at the Live
Stock show for four years and this
is his first prize. William, who is

versity of Minnesota, will be barred
by age from entering the competition

calls attention to the fact that these
figures apply for school purposes on
ly.
The report discloses that ten years
ago, there were S,943 school houses
in the state as compared to 1921 at
the present time. The number of the
salaried school teachers in the state
increased from 1920 in 1914, draw
ing an average salary of $3.50 a
school year, to 20,341 teachers receiv-
ing an average salary of $1,215, the
year of 1924.
In addition to these increases, the
report states, there have been new
departments added, and many innova-
tions, such as the motor bus for the
convenience of rural pupils, have been
introduced.
