RAIN FINDS FLA.
HURT WORSE THAN
RED CROSS REPORT
EVERY POSSIBLE AID NEEDED
FOR THOUSANDS HOMELESS
LEFT IN HURRICANE PATH
SURVEY UPHELD.

The situation in Florida was even
worse than described by the Red
Cross, and every possible aid still is
needed to provide shelter for thous-
ands of homeless victims of the hur-
ricane, A. A. D. Rain of Minneapolis
said Monday, on his return from Flor
ida.
Mr.. Rain went to Florida as rep
resentative of David w. Crosland, i'm
jerial potentate of the Shrine, and, to-
gether with Edward j. Burke of Jack
sonville, Fla, made complete sur
vey of the storm area.
''It is unfortunate that the contro-
versy arose between the governor and
others and John Barton Payne of the
Red Cross" Mr.. Rain said, because
the situation is worse even than de-
scribed by the Red Cross. The gov
ernor has virtually retracted his state
ments, however"
Every contribution the Red Cross
can get is vitality needed, he said. He
urged that all organizations and in
dividuals cooperate with the Red
Cross, as "that is the organization
which will clear up the situation"
Mr.. Rain left Minnesota the day
after first reports of the storm reach
ed Minneapolis, conferred with Red
Cross and government officers at
Washington, then went into Florida
with Mr.. Burke.
eve surveyed the entire Miami
storm area and Is miles to the south, !"
Mr.. Rain said "We drove over the en-
tire section, 60 miles across, and found
practically every building destroyed.
The storm went close to Palm Beach
and on to Tampa, then jumped across
the bay.
eve found the Red Cross survey
is practically correct. They got the
actual number of houses destroyed.
The situation is even worse in proper
ty damage, and the Red Cross needs
all the contributions it can get.
"The last of the women and children
refugees were taken out of the area
a week ago Thursday, leaving the men
to do the work. The people of the
various cities deserve a great deal of
credit, and generally are very optimis-
tic.
Business men are able to take care
of themselves. 1t is the thousands of
young men and women who went to
Florida to seek their fortunes on small
bits of property who need aid to get
a fresh start Cities are going right
ahead with the task of rebuilding.
'"The Shrine contributed $4,000 TO
the Red Cross, as well as aiding Shrin-
ers in the state and contributing to
work of the Florida grand lodge"

FOREST FRIENDS
HARD AT WORK ON
AMENDMENT NO. 2
CLOQUET OBSERVES ANNIvERS-
AIRY OF DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
IN 1918; ALL CREATES INTER-
EST IN REFORESTATION ACT.

Emphasizing the possibilities Of in
dustrial development in Minnesota
contingent on an adequate timber
supply, as well as numerous other ad.
vantagess assured by continued for.
est production, Minnesota conserva.
tionists, speaking in various sections
of the state, are stimulating interest
in the campaign for the adoption OF
amendment No. 2, the reforestation
measure which failed two years age
because many voters neglected the
ballots.
The amendment, which authorizes
the Legislature to fix definite and
limited annual tax on forest lands
with provision for a yield tax or
marketable timber and other forest
products at the end of the growing
period, will be resubmitted in the
election November 2. To pass, il
must have a majority of all the votes
cast, not only on this question, but in
the entire election.
The campaign in behalf of amend
ment No. 2 was given greater i'm
petus in Northern Minnesota Tuesday
when the eighth anniversary of the
destructive forest fires of 1918 was
observed, and the rebuilding of Clo-
quet celebrated at a meeting at the
Minnesota University Forest Expert
ment station just outside Cloquet.
Large delegations attended from
Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia, and many
other Northern Minnesota towns.
There were talks by Senator Henrik
Shipstead, DIR. Raphael Zon, director
of the Lake States Forest Experiment
station; Henry Schultz, dean of the
Minnesota University college Of for
estry; Professor F. w. Peck, director
of agricultural extension; represent
atives of the Minnesota State Con-
servation commission, and others.
The possibilities of industrial devel-
opment were demonstrated by an in
spection of the mills and wood pro-
ducts plants of Cloquet, while the
practicability of growing trees on a
substantial and profitable basis was
shown at the forest experiment sta
tion.
Exclusive of the saw mills, Clo-
quet's wood conversion operations
represent an annual payroll of $3,OOO,-
900. These plants are utilizing what
formerly was regarded as waste wood,
such as jack pine, tamarack and pop
lar, by converting it into high grade,
merchantable paper and other prod
ucts. at is estimated that the nor
NAL growth ON 100000 acres will
maintain this operation for years to
come and provide for the normal in
crease of business" James H. Har-

Warned Against
Outbreak of Hog Cholera


Hog cholera is prevailing in SO
f Minnesota's 81 counties.
So far there has been but little
vidence of cholera in Redwood Coun-
Y, but some of the adjoining counties,
otably Renville, have had serious
DsSes.
The epidemic is quite general over
ne Northwest, reports indicate.
The secretary of the state livestock
anitary board declares the epidemic
Minnesota is widespread and the
ituation is the most serious since
314. The central and southern Sec
ons of the state have been hit the
rdest.
Hog cholera generally comes in

Redwood County Sportsmen, who
are disappointed that the season on
pheasants was not closed, will be in
terested in knowing how Lyon Coun-
ty, which is also opposed, is handling
the matter. The News-Messenger of
Marshall says:
"The Lyon County Chapter of the
Isaak Walton League is asking all
farmers in this territory to post
mo Hunting and No Trespassing'
signs ON their farms in order to pre-
vent shooting of pheasants this fall.
The League feels that ringneck pheas-
ants are not plentiful enough in this
part of the state to warrant any kind
of an open season.

season to two days, October Is ant

stricted areas have been infested at
different times.
Federal regulations have been waiv-
ed in order to speed the delivery of
serum to combat the hog cholera epi-
demic.
The packing houses in South St.
Paul report that very few hogs show
ing evidences of cholera have been
received by, them, evidence of the fact
that Minnesota farmers generally are
living up to that law that forbids the
shipping of infected animals for
slaughter, members of the sanitary
board said.
Veterinarians have been busily en-
gagged in vaccinating swine and in this
way it is believed that the cholera at
tack may be checked and save the
farmers huge losses.

INDEPENDENTS
TIE SPRINGFIELD
DEFEAT WILLMAR
LOCALS HOLD SPRINGFIELD TO
SCORELESS TIE ON SAUER-
KRAUT DAY; DEFEAT WILL
LMAR 60 SUNDAY, OCT. 10TH.

In the first two starts of the Red
wood Falls Independent football team
the outcome was exceptionally good
considering the new material with
which Coach Carity has to work
at the beginning of the season. On
afternoon, October 7th,
the Independents played the fast
Springfield team at Springfield as
a part of the Sauer Kraut Day cele-
bration and held this powerful aggre-
cation to a scoreless tie. In this
game the team showed that with a
little more coaching that they will be
able to play the best Independent
teams in this part of the country.
Their ability to win was shown last
Sunday afternoon in the game played
with Willmar at the Redwood County
Fair Grounds in which the locals de-
feated their old rivals by score of
6 to 0. In-this game Hoskin, star
half of the locals, made the only
counter for the locals, making an end
run of twenty yards for touch
down. In the attempt for the extra
point in the kick, Hoskin failed. The
ball was constantly kept in the visit
ors territory and at no time was Red
wood Falls in danger of being scored
upon.
Next Sunday the locals will play
Litchfield at Litchfield. This game
promises to be the crucial test for the
locals for this season: by making a
good showing against the fast Litch-
field team the Redwood Falls team
will have made themselves. Other
games with fast teams are being
booked by Manager Robstock. The
games that are being booked are
against some of the fastest Inde-
pendent teams in the state and in
bringing such teams here it is nec-
essary that the best support be given
to Manager Rebstock, Coach Cafity
and the team.

Farmers Asked to Post
Signs to Protect Pheasdnfs

16, in all parts of the state except
Hennepin, Carver, and Scott coun-
ties. Sportsmen in the neighborhood
of the Twin Cities felt that a two-day
season would not deplete the pheas-
ant supply to any extent, but would
scatter the birds sufficiently to pre-
vent in-breeding and deterioration of
stock. The opinion held by local
sportsmen and many farmers in this
section is that pheasants are entire
ly too scarce here to permit shooting
them this year.
"Waltonians here are asking the CO.
operation of every farmer in prevent
ing the shooting of pheasants, are ur-
gently requesting that every farmer
post his place, not only to prevent
shooting during the two-day season,
but also to stop other violations.

CLACUE

SPEAK in COUNTY
GOV. CHRISTIANSON AND CON-
GRESHAM CLAGUE AT LAM
BERTON OCT. 20; ]. SCHMAHL
AT WABASSO OCT. 28TH.

Governor Theodore Christianson
and Congressman Frank Clague will
be the speakers at a meeting arrang-
ed by the Redwood County Republican
Committee through it's chairman,
Harry West, of Morgan. Mr.. West
announces that this meeting will be
held in the pavilion at Lamberton at
two o'clock the afternoon of October
10th. Thursday evening, Oct. 28th
Julius A. Schmahl, Republican Can
didate for State Treasurer, will
speak at an evening meeting at Wa
basso. This meeting is set for eight
o'clock in the evening. Political
meetings have been few in this coun-
ty during the present campaign and
residents Of this section will welcome
this opportunity to hear these prom
inent candidates.
Governor Christianson last week
spoke from the same platform as the
Farmer-Labor and Democratic can
didates for governor, at Duluth
meeting. Several attacks were made
upon his administration from the
point of economy, etc. and the Gov
ernor, who spoke the last of the trio,
was able to refute these statements
in every case. The Governors record
is unimpeachable and the meeting at
Lamberton will give his friends in
this vicinity an opportunity to hear
him talk on the subject of the reor-
ganization of the state government
and kindred topics.
Congressman Clague has been do
ing much splendid work for the agri-
culture interests of the Northwest and
will continue this work upon his re-
turn to Washington soon after the
November election. While Mr.. Clague
has no opposition in his candidacy to
succeed himself as Congressman from
the Second District, he is much in
terested in helping to secure the re-

REALTY MEETING
DEBATES LEASING
OF VALLEY LANDS

An important meeting of the FL
Centre Realty board was held Tues
day, February 9. A committee, con-
sisting of j. $. Cameron, Henry l..
Loud and W. c. Hancock, was APP
pointed to look into the question of
standardized farm leases in Imperial
Valley. Many of the leases in use
are antiquated and do not meet pre-
sent valley requirements and condi-
tions. The plan is to have a new
lease which will particularly apply
to Imperial Valley.
j. 5. Anker, secretary and treas
urcr, gave a favorable financial re-
port tor the past year and also re-
ported that a large number of APP
praisais had been made by the board.
This appraisal service is II benefit
and protection to all, and is avail
able at Il nominal figure before buy
ing or selling property. Three of
the board members spend a day max
ing Il fair and unbiased, detailed
appraisal of the market value and

With practically every realty
board from Red Bluff in the north
to San Diego in the south promising
to exceed its quota in the present
drive for new local and state mem
berships, indications point to an
early attainment of the goal of

From Southern California new
members already are counted by the

state are lining up equally well, par
tlcuIarlv those metropolitan areas
which have been visited bv officers
of the state real estate association.
Two conditions make the addition
Of new members to every board in
the state imperative. One is the
loss of prestige to California if she
is forced to accept second place as
Il realty state, and she will be, un-
less the membership of the Califor-
MIA Real Estate association is built
up TO at least 5000; the other is the
need for enrolling all ethical brok

USE COMPRESSOR
TO AERATE SOIL
ON VALLEY LAND
Use New Device Also to
InOculate Grass Pest,
Wild Morning Glory.

The air compressor of the Soil
Redemption Service Co., Inc, Of Los
Angeles is the first method ever
attempted to acrate soil artificially.
Since coming to the valley the
machine has subsoiled by air pres
sure the grapefruit orchard Of X.
ID. McPhcrrin, northeast of El Cen
tro; the asparagus fields on the
Criterion ranch, at Imperial. and is
now at work on forty acres of land
on the Huston ranch, between Ell
Centre and Imperial.
On this acreage, holes have been
dug for grapefruit trees, and the
compressor crew is now loosening
the hard soil. Air is forced
through a large tube into the soil,
and through another tube, liquid
fertilizer is forced. The result is a
lcoscning of the SOIL permitting the
roots to seek food without restric
tion, and soft soil which absorbs
water and holds it long.
Oxygen, so necessary to plant life,
is forced in, and also nitrogen, which
TO quote r. W. Hodgson, of the Cit
rus Culture department Of Califor-
MIA, is the only clement-which
has been demonstrated to give meas
urable improvement in yield and tree
