virtually all parts Of the state.
All of these special improvements
for one reason or another, the bulle-
tin states, are being handled to bet
ter advantage or with greater econo-
my by this plan than by contracting
on bids. All are under the supervision
of regular department engineers OF
foremen. In many instances state.
owned equipment is being used BY
regular department crews and III
other local labor and teams are being
employed at the going wages. Work
is arranged to avoid competing with
farmers for labor during busy sea-
sons, and further to use farm teams
during slack times where delays OF
would not be to the advantage of the
farmers, and with other like cor
sideration in mind. The plan leaves
the largest part Of the money invest
ed in the locality of the improvement.
The special projects, like all other
state highway improvement, are be-
ing paid for wholly from 1925 motor
vehicle and gasoline tax receipts.
They are known in the highway de-
partment as "a. F. E." projects, or
special Authorization for Expendit-
ures. General outlays of the same
class are those for the traffic census,
highway marking. Industrial, compen-
sation and similar expenses in the

Second Lease Form.

The Stock Share Agreement and
Lease as it appears in this issue is
another form of contract drawn up
by the Redwood County Farm Lease
Committee. The Grain Share Lease
was published in last weeks issue.
This type Of lease has been pre-
pared to fit the needs of the resi-
dent owners of larger farms who have
well improved farms from which they
are unable to realize the return they
should from the improvements they
have, on the grain share basis. It
also puts the tenant on safer basis

Farm Bureau
Fights Freight
Rate Boost
CRUSHING MENACE TO INDUS
TRY SEEN IN MOVE BY RAIL
ROADS FOR $lsO,O0O, 600 IN
CREASE.

The Farm Bureau is mobilizing it's
forces in % western states for one
of the most important battles it has
ever made in defense of the general
welfare of the agricultural industry
in this area.
Seventy-three railroads of the west
have petitioned their respective state
railroad commissions, asking them
to cooperate with the Interstate
Commerce commission to the end of
securing for them an increase of IL
per cent in freight rates, which they
claim is necessary to bring them a
return on their investment of five
and three-fourths per cent as permit
ted under the Transportation Act. 1t
is claimed that the roads fell short
in the territory affected to the ex-
ent Of $180,000,00O during the past
year. In other words it would re-
quire that much additional to return
them five and three-fourths per cent.
The Farm Bureau considers this a
serious emergency and demands i'm
mediate and energetic action on tie
part of every unit of the organiza :
tion, lest midwest agriculture find
itself crushed with this additional
freight burden.
The transportation director of the
American Farm Bureau estimates that
this proposed increase would add one
hundbed eighty million dollars 20
the annual freight bill paid by these
% states. Of this amount ninety
million would be paid directly by FAR
mers in shipping their produce to
market, and another large portion Of
it would be paid by farmers in the
price they pay for various shipped
in commodities.
Under the Hoch-Smith resolution.
passed by congress last winter, the
Interstate Commerce commission was
asked to make an investigation to as
certain if the rates now being charg
ed by the railroads are too high on
agricultural products. It is belived
that in anticipation of this opening
of the rate subject, the carriers have
asked in advance for this raise in
rates.
The Farm Bureau is firm in the
belief that agriculture is not able
under its present economic condition,
to survive the burden of the proposed
added freight bill without disastrous
results, and will therefore light the
proposal to the last ditch to pre-
vent its accomplishment.

Harvesting operations are general
South Dakota and Montana, with re.
ports indicating that the acre yield
is running fair to good. Estimates
on wheat are placed at 13 bushels an
acre in some localities and reach as
high as % bushels in others. The
average in this crop is expected to
run about Is bushels. Reports from
some points tell Of damage to small
grains from heat and dry weather.
Farmers in Polk county, a part of
the Red River valley, report harvest
ing general. Much barley and some
wheat already has been cut. Wheat
some farmers report, is light in
weight and spotted, estimates of
weight running from 50 to SO pounds
to the bushels.
Barley and oats crops in the Red
River valley are reported very good.
Corn and potato crops are improving,
but rye is poor Wheat is expected
to average about Is bushels to an
acre.
Wheat threshed in the vicinity of
Annandale, in Wright county, yielded

Clinton and the surrounding ter
ritory report the wheat yield in the
neighborhood of Is to Is bushels an
acre.
Harvesting in Sphinx County, South
Dakota, is finished and a few farm
ers have started threshing. The
grain crop is fair with a good chance
for corn.
Practically all of the wheat in Nor
ton, Oliver, Grant, Sioux and other
counties of the west Missouri slope
will have been cut by the end of the
week.
Harvest of winter wheat in Mon
tana is fairly general, reports from
county agents to the federal crop
statistician, Jay G.. Diamond, said.
Spring wheat which in the northeas-
tern part of Montana was mostly
from the effect of the July heat and
dry weather, Mr.. Diamond says in
his July report.
The Montana report says that win
ter rye, as was the case with winter
wheat was well advanced in the dough
stage when the hot weather came, but
spring rye shows generally heavy
damage from heat. Heat damage to
flax has been severe.
The. potato crop in Montana is re-
ported as suffering somewhat from
lack of rain in the northwestern dis
trict and the weather has been too
dry throughout central Montana.
In the northern district, reports
give the crops generally a good out
look and this also is true of the south
central district.

CAPTAIN FRASER AND MEN
WELL PLEASED WITH ANNUAL
CAMP EXPERIENCES, HONORS
Z WON IN SANITATION.
(By Sergt. Harry C. Walter)

(By Sergt. Harry C.. Walter)
Co. L. 205th Inf. M. n. G., has re-
turned after completing one of the
most successful encampments in
which it has ever participated. Every
one enjoyed the camp life and is
eager to go again.
Major G. A. Dahl of the Medical
DdEachment donated a cup for COM
petition in Sanitation in the various
companies. Co. L has the distinction
OF winning this cup for the first
time in competition. This contest
was by no means easy. The kitchen,
mess tables, ice box, barracks and
area were all taken into consideration.
The percentage of Company L was
96, while it's nearest competitor scor-
ed SO per cent. The entire Company
felt extremely proud of having won
this distinction. The major part of
the credit can well be given to Mess
Sergeant Laythe and Cooks Martin
and Hauck who worked untiringly
during the camp period to have every
thing in the best possible condition
at the time the inspections were
made
Co. L was again presented with the
silver cup donated by 1t Col. R. E..
Cotton, Ord. Corps, for winning the
Indoor Championship contest held
April. This is the third consecutive
year the local Company has won this
cup of which it has now become per-
manent owner. The officers of the
Regiment have a very high respect
for Captain Fraser and Lieutenants
Hosken. and Lamberton for the show
ing they have made this year and
also in former years. Captain Fra
ser has been chosen as a member of
the Minnesota National Guard Rifle
Team to go to Camp Perry, Ohio, in
September. Lieut.. HoS<en also
qualified, but the fact that he has
been a member of this team for the
past three years makes him inelig-
ible as member Of this years team.
However an effort is being made to
have him made Team Coach, and it
is very probable that this will be
done.
The National Guard is more highly
respected than in former years. When
one realizes that the National Guard
composes nearly seventy-five per
cent of the trained forces of the ma
tion it is readily understood why it
deserves the respect of the citizens.
The officers of Company L state
that the present organization is the
most efficient that they have had the
pleasure to command. In return the
members of the Company feel ex-
tremely proud both of their organi-
zation and of its officers. Any young
man over eighteen years of age who
is in good physical condition, and
who desires to join the organization
may do so by applying at the ArmoryI
Office on any Monday evening.
The Company Wishes to take this
opportunity to publicly thank the
Sward-K Kemp Drug Company for the
cigarettes donated the night of its de-
parture for camp They were much
appreciated and the Company men
certainly have a warm spot in their
hearts for this store.
