Afternoon Train
to Be Again Put
!. Into Service
C. N. w. r. R., PUTS AFTERNOON
TRAIN BACK ON NICKEL
PLATE;" SERVICE RESUMED
MONDAY AUGUST 3.

Superintendent Boyle of the Chi
cago Northwestern Railway states
that afternoon service on the Sleepy
Eye-Redwood Falls Branch will be re-
sumed August 3rd. The resumption
of this service follows a three
weeks suspension, the management
of the Railway trying this plan as
part of recently inaugurated
economy policy. Joint action of the
businessmen and of Morgan and Red
wood Falls is said to be responsible
for the train being put back into
service.
A meeting of representative men
from the two towns most interested
was held at the Redwood Falls Con-
mercial Club last Wednesday evenin
with Mr.. Boyle in attendance. The
matter was thoroughly discussed at
this time and the reinstating of the
train is the outcome Of the meeting
Mr.. Boyle, in presenting the Railways
side of the matter showed that pas
senger traffic on this road is so Ii.
mited that the afternoon train was
not self-supporting and therefore the
Company felt that it might be taken
off. Since it has been reinstated II
may be well for residents of this
section to consider that increased
patronage is necessary if the service
is to be maintained. The freight and
express service of this train is in
valuable to both Morgan and Red
wood Falls and appreciation of this
may well be shown by use of the
passenger facilities of the train when
possible. 1t would be serious mat
ter for both towns if this service
were to be lost entirely and the rail-
road is justified in expecting that
people appreciating this service will
cooperate in keeping it.

Barberry Found
in Two Redwood
County Areas
AGENTS DISCOVER ONE SPOT
OF RUST INFECTED BUSH
NEAR DELHI AND SECOND
SPOT NEAR BELVIEW.

The agents of the United States
Department Of Agriculture who are
engaged in the search for the corn-
mon barberry bush in Redwood Coun-
ty report they have found barberry
in the northern part of the county,
when paintings were found north
west of Belview and southwest of
Delhi. In each case the bushes were
near the center of an area where the
black stem rust was heaviest.
In the search for the common bar
berry bush on farms west and north
of Belview, the agents, Mr.. j. M.
Dawley and Mr.. H. II. Baker, found
the rust considerably heavier in this
region. Close examination of num-
erous wheat fields revealed that the
black stem rust was spreading into
Redwood County from the northwest.
These field observations led the
agents to a farm near the Yellow
Medicine county line where the rust
spreading bushes were found.
When near Delhi, the agents also
suspected barberry in the vicinity
because Of the increased prevalence
of black stem rust near the village. A
search of all the farms revealed a
barberry planting southwest of the
town which was well infected with
rust. The agents were able to ira :e
the spread Of rust directly from this
bush for several miles, the direction
of the spread was quite clear to the
east, the rust spreading particularly
on the wild grasses and then to the
wheat.
Last week Mr.. L. w. Melander, who
has charge of all barberry work in
Minnesota went over the rust situa-
tion in both the Belview and Delhi
localities and verified the observa-
tions of Mr.. Baker and Dawley.

County Has More
Than 500 Pupils
in Its Schools
COUNTY SUPT. FERN KENNEDY
MAKES ANNUAL REPORT OF
YEARS. ATTENDANCE IN
SCHOOLS OF REDWOOD co.

The recently completed report Of
Miss Fern Kennedy, superintendent
of Redwood County Schools shows
some interesting facts concerning the
attendance ETC., of the schools of the
county, both rural and graded. School
attendance is one of the several
things stressed by Miss Kennedy and
the teachers under her, and the av-
erage for the county was brought up
from the 140 days attendance per
each pupil for last year to 141 days
per pupil for 1925. This is only a
small gain but considering the fact
that there are a total of 5406 pu-
pills attending the various schools to
have affected even so much of a gain
is encouraging.
This year for the first time the
records of the State Department of
Education demand that all pupils
who are failing to attend school with
out proper excuse from the Board Of
Education in their respective districts
are reported. Parents are liable to
punishment if their children are not
sent to school in accordance to the
State School Attendance Law. There
are twenty-six children in Redwood
County whose parents are not abid-
ing by this law.
Of the 5406 pupils in the county
schools, 490 of them are not entitled
to state apportionment of State Aid,
for one reason or another. Some of
these are over age, insufficient at
tendance is another factor in child S
being barred from drawing his ap-
portionment for the District in which
he is attending school, 1t is assured
ly to the interests of every tax payer
to see that every child of school age
is attending regularly enough to
make him an economic asset rather
than a liability. The average atten-
dance for pupils of the rural schools
is 125 days the same as for last year.
There are employed in the county
thirty men teachers and one hundred
n nety-six women teachers, total
of two hundred twenty-six teachers.
The average teaching wage for the
county is $119.90 an increase Of only
ninety cents per month over 1924
salaries. In the graded schools the
average salaries for men is $206
while for women it is $127. In the
country there is less difference, men
getting an average of $105 and wo-
men 500. A surprisingly large num-
ber of teachers in the rural schools
have taught either in the same DIS
tricts or in other schools in the cor.1,-
ty Tor two years or more.

AND PUBLISHED BY GAZETTE.

In introducing the forms Mr.. Shell
don makes the following statement
relative to it.
"a lease is memorandum OF ar
agreement between landowner and
tenant. The human mind cannot be
trusted in farm lease or contract
Verbal leasing is very unstable and
usually results in dissatisfaction, con-
troversy and trouble.
"The forms generally available are
of the fine print, long paragraph type
that are legal in every way but not
useful to the extent that they should
be.
with the gradually increasing per.
centage of tenant farms in Redwood
county comes demand for improving
the lease to meet the present day sys-
tenn of farming. To be the most
useful, the lease should be clear cut
definite in purpose and composed ir
such a way that it calls to mind
every possible detail that may arise
on a rented farm.
at is with these important factors
in mind that the lease form appear
ing in this issue on Grain Share Farm

tee consisting of J. w. Wheeler, E
w. Stlings, Geo. Brue, j. A. Sex

discuss the problems of the tenant
This was followed by meeting of
the landowners committee consisting
of A. j. White, Parker Sanders, Leon
Orth, J. F. Connor and John Col

''In all these discussions the conser-
vation of soil fertility, increasing
productivity of rented farms and
problems of general management up
on which hinge the future profits of
these farms to both landowner and
