BATTERY E TO SHOW
AT THE COUNTY FAIR
Will Present Spectacle Depicting
Warfare in Battle of the
Marne,' at Pine City Evening
Shows, Sept. IA and 15.

The Battle of the Marne", the
greatest spectacle ever staged at the
county fair, will be the feature at
traction on the night show at the
Pine county fair, this year.
e Battery of Pine City, unit of the
125th Field Artillery, and the crack
battery at Camp Sparta this year, will
stage an artillery battle, using four OF
the big inch guns in actual artillery
firing.
The spectacle will represent the
destruction of the enemy guns and an
enemy ammunition arsenal. The
enemy guns will open fire on the
north side of the fair grounds. The
battery will go into position in front
of the grandstand, with all the mem
bers of the battery taking part, each
member performing his duties as in
actual warfare.
After the guns are in position the
drivers will return to the safety
zone with the horses and limbers,
the cannoneers will prepare their
guns for action, the o. P.-the COM
handing officers observation point
will be established and instruments
will be- set up, the field telephone
lines will be run and then the battery
will go into action
The object will be to destroy the
enemy guns which will be accom-
plished when a shell lands in their
ammunition and it is blown up. The
guns will then be laid on a building
representing an arsenal, stored with
enemy ammunition. AS each round
is fired there will be explosions all
around the arsenal, representing the
finding of the range and locating the
target as in actual warfare.
The target will be hit and there
will be a terrific explosion as the
ammunition catches fire and the
building and contents will burst in
fire with mass of red flames shoot
ing into the sky amidst the boom OF
exploding ammunition.
1t will be a thrilling sight with the
smoke belching from the muzzle OF
the guns as each round is fired with
boom, boom of battle, the exploding
of bombs around the enemy guns and
arsenal, representing the bursting OF
shells, and finally, the deafening roar
| as the arsenal is hit and the ammuni-
ton explodes, bursting into a blaze
of red fire. 1t will be instructive, as
we'll as entertaining, when spectators
will have the opportunity to see these
big guns in action, just as they per-
formed during the World War. They
| fire a three inch shell, and have a
maximum range of effective firing at
| five miles.
Capt. H. v. Jorgensen, commanding
officer of the battery, is handling the
details of the spectacle and promises
| realistic engagement that will be
| thriller.

Farmers Visit Low-Lime
Peat Experimental Fields
of State University

"Hay crops and tame pastures are
| sure thing, while potatoes are a
gamble on peat lands, was the sub
stance of the advice given the 200
| farmers who last Saturday visited
the University's low lime peat exper-
| mental fields 10 miles north of Mil
AGA, right beside Trunk Highway No.
IS. 1t was easy for these farmers
from Mile Laos, Kanabec, Pine and
Aitkin counties to believe the first,
because the cattle were there before
them in a fine pasture and the many
plots of common clover and grasses,
seeded at the first of June, gave prom
| Use of a good cutting of hay early in
| September.
But with the discouraging state
ment regarding the potatoes it was
different The luxuriant growth of
| vines on the numerous plots and the
| reported yields of 800 to 400 bushels
per acre, obtained by the University
on the same fields in 1925, were so
stimulating to all these farmers with
peat land of their own in Mile Laos
| and nearby counties that it seemed
| hard to believe the statements of the
university speakers that frosts severe
| enough to freeze potatoes to the
| ground are likely to occur on the peat
| at any time in any month of the sum-
mer and that only the summer frosts
prevent a very extensive development
of potato growing on peat lands.
These summer frosts, they were told,
occur on the peat soils throughout
| the whole state, but are less fire.
quent on some boys than on others
in the same vicinity, this depending
upon the air-drainage and the mois-
ture conditions. On peat fields near
the Iowa line potatoes were frozen
back twice the past June. This sea-
son the boys near Milaca have been
unusually favored, as so far the po-
tatoes on them have suffered no in
jury. 49, 49,.
Low-lime peats must be lined.
The necessity of this was evident
from the complete failure of all crops
of the unlimed plots, except potatoes
and rhubarb, and even the potatoes
were very poor. The use of fertili-
zers without previous lining was of
no benefit to the crops, and lining
alone does not give satisfactory
yields. Three tons per acre of either
ground limestone or mari followed
by an annual application of mixture
of potash and phosphate fertilizers,
produce good pastures, fine yields of
clover and timothy hay, good root
crops and hardy truck crops. Such
a treatment usually brings fair yields
of winter rye, oats, barley and field
peas, but this season the oats are
badly rusted and a part of the barley
and rye blighted.
The farmers were told that very
little of the peat land to the south
and west of Milaca was deficient in
lime, but to the north and northeast
of that town many of the boys. are
of the low-lime type, like that on
which they were examining the plots.
For this reason every farmer owning
peat land north or northeast of Milaca
should have his soil tested for it's
lime-requirements before going to any
expense to reclaim it. To the south
and west the peat is generally like
that on the Coon Greek peat expert
mental fields, near Anoka, has an
abundance of lime and needs only
phosphate and potash.
