HUGHES DISCUSSES
POULTRY SITUATION
Findings of State Agricul-
tural Department Re-
garding Fowl Pest.

Hugh ]. Hughes. Director OF
Markets, State Department OF
Agriculture, gives the Minnesota
Farm Bureau the following sum,
mary of the poultry situation fol.
lowing the scare over the mys-
FERROUS fowl disease which caused
Eastern states to place an embar.
go on live poultry:
The New York state embargo
against poultry shipments from
the middle west to the New York
market had a serious temporary
effect on the marketing of
Christmas poultry. The situation
was this:
During the late summer and
fall heavy losses occurred in con-
nection with poultry arriving on
the N. Y. market; the fowls ar
rived apparently in fair condition
and sometimes within a days
time were swept away by disease,
that naturally was thought to
have been contracted in the mid
die west. and that became appar-
ent about the time of arrival.
New York dealers appar-
emily were covering up this sit
uation in order to avoid person
al loss in so far as they could do
so. Finally the loss became so
sweeping that they appealed to
the health authorities of the
state and the city.
The State Commissioner of
farms and markets took vigor-
our steps to strike at the disease
from every angle. One Of these
steps was TO forbid shipments
from the middle west entering
the state of New York. Follow
ing up the disease, it was found
to exist on Long Island and at
number Of points in the Hudson

definitely under control, the read
err will do well to study the daily
market reports with more than
usual care. With poultry shipped
in good condition and on market
quotations that hold for three or
four days between the time Of
shipment and arrival reasonable
returns should be expected.
The Minnesota State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, the shipper
will do well to remember. has
authority to inspect all poultry
shipped and to regulate the buy
ing practices Of the dealers. The
shipper can protect himself
against any possible loss that may
occur, by having the local express
agent note the condition of poul-
try at time Of shipment. and by
placing on the shipping bill the
notation state inspection re-
CURED. Then when the poul-
try arrives an inspector will be
called and will examine the ship
ment. The receiver is required
by law to pay for the poultry ac-
cording to the price quoted that
day for the grade found by the
inspector. Any complaint Of UNI
fair returns should be made to
Director of Markets, State De-
partment of Agriculture, Old
Capitol. st. Paul, and any and all
complaints should be accompanied
by all the facts regarding the
shipment"

Washington, Dec. 31.-Whis-
|perings about an extra session Of
Congress have reached the talk
ling basis. The proposal for a
spring session reveals a wide diff
ference in opinion between the
President and congressional lead
ers. At present it appears that
the Chief Executive holds the
whip hand. It is said that Mr..
Coolidge wants to call another
armament conference here in the
spring and desires to be free
from congressional criticism.
His idea is that an international
arms conference is of sufficient
Importance to warrant exclusive
attention.
On the other hand, one of the
administration spokesman at the
Capitol, Senator Borah, has open
ly advocated an extra session.
The legislative calendar at the
beginning Of the year is extreme
ly crowded. 1t is claimed that
time is all too short to allow con-
sideration of all important legis-
lative measures. Senator Borah
says that a special session should
be called to give attention to
agricultural and general econo-
mic legislation.
One of the proposals is to dis
pose of the recommendations of
the Coal Commission which re-
ported nearly two years ago. No
action has ever been taken on the
recommendations of the Federal
Coal Commission after a long and
intensive study recommending
reorganization of the coal indus
try.
1t is believed that the findings
of the special Agricultural Com

River Valley. as well as on the
Terminal markets. The disease
is known as the European Fowl
Plague or Pest. 1t runs a very
swift course, sometimes as short
as "a hours from infection to
death. and is fatal in by far the
larger number of cases.
Representatives of the points
interested. went from Chicago to
Washington. met with DIR. Nohler
of the Federal Department of
Agriculture and with Congress
men and Senators. and secured an
emergency appropriation of one
hundred thousand dollars, to be
administered by the Bureau of
Animal Industry for the purpose
of tracing and stamping out the
disease. This work is now in
progress.
AS soon as New York had TAX
en- action, the Minnesota State
Department of Agriculture, the
Live Stock Sanitary Board and
the Veterinary Division of the
Agricultural College conferred as
to the local situation. Informa-
ton at that time. and that
gathered since. is to the effect
that the disease in question is
not and has not been present in
Minnesota. DIR. C. c. Lipp, of the
Veterinary Division of the s. ID.
Agricultural College, says that it
is not present in South Dakota,
and DIR. Schalk of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College says
that the disease does not exist in
that state. DIR. Cotton of the
Minnesota Live Stock Sanitary
Board has visited southern Min
nesota and found no evidence of
disease in that region of the
state. and the State Department
of Agriculture has kept daily
watch over the receipts of the
Twin Cities markets for the past
six weeks without finding any
trace of it.
Until the situation has work
ed itself out and the disease il

mission now at work will not be
available until the early spring
months. The senate steering
committee has framed an elabor-
ate program for the short session
which expires March 4. The de
velopments of the first three
weeks of the session shows quite
clearly that few, if any of the
nine major bills reported by the
steering committee will ever find
their way to the statutes. True,
they are on the Senate Calendar
for immediate consideration but
the legislative situation pre-
cludes immediate attention.
One of the important bills on
the Senate calendar is the Smoot
reorganization measure. This bill
proposes to realignment of Fed
eral bureaus, including the estab-
lishment Of a Department Of
Education. Action on this meas
ure has been held up at previous
sessions because it is generally
agreed that the proposal contains
political dynamite. The Sem
ate expected to dispose of the
Muscle Shoals program before
Christmas, but parliamentary
complications ensued with the
result that nobody knows when
the matter will be concluded.
The House made considerable
progress on appropriation bills
during the early weeks of this
session. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee took steps to
keep abreast of fiscal legislation
by taking note of the action of
the House on each item for gov
ernmental expenditures. This
time-saving plan was practically

MRS. M. MORTENSEN
CALLED BY DEATH
Long Sufferer From Tubcr-
culosis Died Tuesday
Afternoon.

After years OF illness and trials,
which takes q strong body and
mind to endure, the earthly cares
of Mrs. Morten Mortenscn have
ceased. Death came peacefully
shortly after three o'clock Tues
day afternoon.
Petrea Kristensen Mortenscn
was born at Dpstrup. Denmark,
on Oct. 81. 1876. being a little
past 48 years at the time Of
death. On July 20. 1899. she was
united in marriage to Morten
Mortensen. They lived at Store
Rsrbmk until 1912 when the
family emigrated to America.
Three months were spent In Ne
braska after which they came TO
Askov settling here in October
1912. The first winter was spent
on a farm south Of town where
real pioneer life was experienced.
after which they spent several
years in the village, Mr. Morten-
sen doing shoe repairing. The
past few years they have resided
on their farm southeast of town.
Eight children have been born
to this union all of whom are liv-
ing and all at home as follows:
Niels, Thomas, Johannes. Elmer
Kathrine, Elmer, Holger and
Bernhard. The two youngest
were born at Askov. the others
In Denmark.
Mrs. Mortensen has not been
in good health for the past Is
years but never complained. She
bore up wonderfully well under
the constant strain and was
noble woman, ever attentive to
the welfare and comfort Of her
husband and children. It was.
however. not until the last two
years that the tuberculosis gained
such Roadway that she was
obliged to remain in bed and dur
ing that period she was in bed
most of the time. Her mind was
bright and active until the last
and it was only few days that
she had to struggle for her
breath. The final summons came
Tuesday afternoon.
Likely one Of the happiest
events in her life was last sum-
mer on July 20, when neighbors
and friends gathered at the home
to help her and Mr.. Mortensen
celebrate their silver wedding
anniversary. Many came to show
their deep friendship and respect.
Besides the immediate family
Mrs. Mortensen leaves to mourn
her death, 10 sisters and brothers
and her aged father. all living in
Denmark.
Funeral services will be con-
