Parents Hear
Helpful Talk
by Prof. .Munson
LARGE AUDIENCE HEAR SPEAK
Err AT PARENT-TEACHERS'
MEETING MONDAY; GOOD PRO-
q GRAM GIVEN.

One Of the best attended meetings
the Parent-Teachers Association has
yet had was held at the high school
Monday evening with Professor Mum
son of the Winona Teachers College
the speaker In addition to Mr.. Mum
sons talk an interesting program of
musical numbers and reading was
given and the program was followed
by the usual social hour with the
serving of refreshments. A feature
of the program was the presentation
of handsome f1ags the gift of the
Legion Auxiliary to the grade repre-
sented by the largest number of par
ents at the meeting. Mrs. j. A.
Baikie president of the Auxiliary pre-
sented the flag to the winning room
of which Miss Jones is the teacher.
Mrs. w. H. Ball presided at the
meeting.
Mr.. Munson who is instructor in
Hygiene and Sanitation at the Teach
er's College talked to the parents up
on their responsibilities. His talk
showed his deep research work in
both biology and psychology, his ap-
probation of the problems Of parents
and above all broad sympathy with
young people and children who are
misunderstood and mishandled in their
homes. He reused the parents to the
danger of neglecting to form real
personal contact with the child and
maintaining contact all through the
years of adolescence and youth.
From broad experience with young
people and from profound study of
what constitutes the elements Of fail
ure or success in their lives, the
speaker gave to his audience many
forceful and practical suggestions of
what this job of parenthood means.
Before the talk Miss Myrtle john
son played piano selection and Mar
garet Tiffany very charmingly gave
the reading she had prepared for the
recent declamatory contest. Follow
ing the talk Mrs. G. l. Grapp de-
lighted the audience by singing Some
where a Voice Is Calling and End of
a Perfect Day, with Mrs. w. B. Gle
ment at the piano.

Governor Asks
Voters TO Save
Interim Bill
GOVERNOR BROADCASTS APPEAL
TO PUBLIC TO THWART OP-
PONENTS OF STATE REOR-
GANIZATION.

Governor Theodore Christianson
Saturday night in radio address call
ed upon the taxpayers of Minnesota
to prevent opponents of the state gov
ernment reorganization from emas-
culating the interim bill.
Governor Christianson attacked the
position taken by supporters of amend
ments which he declares ruinous to
the plan.
Opponents of the reorganization
plan dc not hope to defeat it by vot-
ing it down." he said. They hope to
emasculate it by amendment"
An amendment, proposed by oppo-
nents to the governors plan and de-
signed to give elected constitutional
officers joint financial control, would
sgive Minnesota administration by a
debating society" the governor said.
He answered Supporters Of an amend
ment to eliminate the board of control
from centralized financial control by
arguing that if its supporters believe
"in the plea that the board has func-
toned well in the past" with its pur-
chasing department., this same idea
applied to all departments proves
the reorganization bill should pass.
The governor said:
"Any large corporation with 90 de-
partments, with each head permitted
to spend all the money he could get
his hands on without control, would
go bankrupt.
'The only reason the state doesn't
go bankrupt is that it has the power
of taxation.
Estates will continue to increase the
burden of taxation until somebody
is given power to stop them.
Finance committees of the legis-
lature must dispose of appropriation
requests at the rate of $5OO,O0O an
hour and no body of men, however
intelligent or Industrious, is equal to
that task.
'sThese finance committees hear
only the men who want money to
spend"
There is one class of people who
have valid objection to the proposed
bill" the governor said. "That class
constitutes the tax-spenders of the
state. For them / have no solicitude.
Il am more concerned for the men
and women who do the work and bear
the burdens of every community, the
children who have to forego the COM
forts and even necessities because the
tax-gatherer levies too heavy toll. I
am concerned for those who live in
wretched houses or narrow and ILL
lighted rooms because taxes have made
rents too high; for those who are
losing lands which represent the saw
ings of lifetime through legalized
confiscation."
He went on to say:
The state is like an overgrown
motorcar, capable of producing tre-
mendous horsepower, and attaining
terrific speed; the speed has been

County Considers Service

BOARD COUNTY APPROPRIATION
CONTINUING OFFICE AT APRIL MEETING REPORT
SPLENDID WORK DONE BY PRESENT AGENT, LYNN


Inasmuch as the Commissioners of
Redwood County will next Tuesday
consider the matter of appropriating
$4,000 to pay the salary OF the
County Agent there is considerable
interest right now in this office, what
it's continuance means to the County
as a whole and to individuals and
whether the County can afford, for
the small sum of two thousand dol
lars, to do without the County Agent
service. Considerable agitation pro
and con is now prevalent throughout
the County. In view of the circum-
stances and the interest shown the
Gazette is glad to lay before its
readers the following facts concern
ing the work of the office.
Resources
Farming is the biggest business
Redwood County now has or in all
likelihood ever will have, the last
census showing that $87,O00,O00 is
the valuation placed on the 2.548
farms within the County's boundaries.
The following facts concerning the
crops and products of these farms are
most interesting.
The dairy production of the coun-
ty in 1922 amounted to 1926 pounds
of butter for which the sum of $685.
715 was received The sale of meat
animals, beef cattle, hogs, and poul-
try amounted to more than $4,000
900. The acreage devoted to the
chief grain crops in 1924 and con-
servative estimate of the production
of these crops is as follows:

by the judges of the District that no

GIBSON SAYS DESTROY
COTTON STALKS NOW
NO BETTER WAY OF FIGHT
ING NEXT YEARS WEEVILS.
HELPS IN OTHER WAYS.

Farmers should not delay the de-
struction of their cotton stalks sin
gle day after the cotton has all been
picked out, according to the county
agent, A. E. Gibson. There is per
haps no better way of fighting next
years weevils than destroying his
food supply early in the fall" he says.
Stalks cannot very well be plowed
up until good rain falls, but they can
be cut, so that when the rain comes
they can be more easily ripped up.
Cutting stalks alone will not result
in the greatest benefit, but they should
be plowed up as soon as possible after
being cut. The furrow made from
blowing up the stalks will serve as a
catch for humus that might otherwise
be carried off the fields by the heavy
winter rains, and were there no bene-
fits derived from destroying cotton
stalks this feature alone would pay
we'll for the extra work and expense.
Where stalks are allowed to stand
lin the field after the cotton has been
picked out the land is unnecessarily de
prived of an abundance of plant food
by the green stalks, which could be
avoided if they were destroyed early
Terrell county has wonderful OPP
portunity to produce another profit
able cotton crop next year, and nc
better method could be practiced than
the early destruction of every green
cotton stalk in the county.

AS CROP
OBSERVERS IN TERRELL
WILL REPORT FARM CONDI-
TIONS TO SEARS-ROEBUCK
FOUNDATION.

Appointment of H. A. Petty, of
Dawson, and c. c. Brim, of Sasser,
as crop observers in Terrell county
for the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation Index, is announced from
Chicago by P. V. Ewing, director of
research for the Foundation and edi-
tor of the Index. They will form a
link in the nationwide chain of coun-
ty agricultural observers elected be-
cause of their irst-hand knowledge of
farming conditions and their ability to
observe these and intelligently inter
pref them.
The Index, to which the observers
from this county will contribute, is a
compilation of the monthly reports of
$3.50 observers in every section of the
country, and this number is being add
ed to steadily. All the observers are
practical, thinking, farm-minded men,
each chosen because of the opportuni-
ties he has to observe the needs of
agriculture in his own locality and for
his ability to apply economic princi-
pies to current farm problems. AS a
group they represent a cross-section
of the thought that the man in the
furrow is thinking, and their joint
analysis Of existing agricultural con-
ditions, as expressed in the Index, is
considered a forward step in helping
agriculture help itself.
