Summer White House Ad-
Joins Millionaire Forests
Name "Black Hills" Given the
Region, by Sioux Indians
Points of Scenic Interest

The Summer White House" in
the Custer State Park in the Black
Hills of South Dakota, where Pres
ident Coolidge is spending the sum-
mer months, adjoins the Black
Hills National Forest and the Har-
ney National Forest, which are not
only rich in Indian lore and pio-
neer historic interest but furnish
one of the. earliest examples of
forest management in the United
States. The President will there
fore have the opportunity both of
enjoying the hospitality of the
State of South Dakota and of
making himself at home on a mil
lion-acre Federal forest estate.
The State Park of 10000 acres,
where the Summer White House is
located, is adjacent to the Harvey
National Forest and a few miles
south of the Black Hills National
Forest. This park was the south
east corner of the, Harvey Ma
tiol1al Forest until the Federal
Government exchanged it, as a SOL
id block, for State lands scattered
throughout the Federal holdings.
The two forests, set aside by Pres
ident Cleveland in, 1897, have net
area of 35,167 acres of Gov
eminent land, $4,000 acres OF
which are in the Theodore Roose.
welt Game Preserve and $4,000
acres in a Federal game refuge ad-
joining the State park. Within the
present boundaries of the forests
there are also 240,457 acres Of
patented lands, some of them in
prosperous farms and ranches or
the stream bottoms, some timber.
land more or less abused by hare
cutting and fire, and some mining
claims.
The name "Black Hills" was
given to the region by the Sioux
Indians. In their tognue, it was
"'Paha Sapa," in allusion to the
somber appearance of the forest
clad heights as seen from the
plains. The Harvey Forest was
named for General Harvey who
was one of the early explorers Of
the region. a.
The President will have oppor.
tunity TO see how National For.
ests are administered and develop
ed. He can see how timber sales
are under methods that keep the
forest growing; how grazing is reg.
ulated to keep the range green
and how land more valuable for
farming than for timber growing
has beenNmade available for home
stealing. The first timber sales in
any National Forest were in the
Black Hills in 1899 and 1900, and
the timber to lbe cut was so care
fully selected, under scientific for
estry, that the area can be cut
again by 1885. About $4,000, 900
board feet of logs are cut each
year from these Federal timber
lands under the same methods, with
such an improvement to the forest

Dairy Council Experiments Show
Necessity for Butter for Proper
Child Growth

Minnesota, the leading butter
state of the Union, has been at
least partially responsible for some
outstanding research on the food
value of butterfat, states a re-
port just received from the Min
nesota Dairy Council.
These studies of the human diet,
according to the report, were con-
Quoted by means of a large colony
of experimental animals, Including
pigs, chickens, dogs and rats, main
tanned near Forest Lake, Mimi, by
the National Dairy Council, of
which the Minnesota Dairy Coun-
Gil, representing the cream produ-
GERS of the Gopher State, is a
unit.
Pairs of animals having the
same breeding and care have been
placed on typical, diets to learn
what foods. are necessary for
proper growth and health of the
animals. A pair of experimental
rats, for instance, from the same
litter, which were of the same age,
sex and breeding, when placed on
different diets showed a remark
able change in development. Each
rat was fed a basic diet, to which
was added butter for one rat and
margarine for the other. -.
A study of the changes that
take place in this pair is typical
of the findings of this investigation
and is particularly interesting to
people in this q community, since
dairying is coming to be one OF
the principal 6 money-makers TO,
our farmers and butter has always
been one, of the Jstaples of diet fo1
our people. III ..
The diet which was used for all
animals on feed in this particula,
experiment included dry cooked
beefsteak, white bakers bread, po-
tato flour, oatmeal, white corn
meal, farnia, sugar, salt and lit
tie calcium carbonate. This diet
was Nconsidered correctly balanced
from the standpoint of protein
carbohydrates, fat and mineral
salts. In addition to this diet, one
of the rats was fed ten per cent
creamery butter and the other ter
|per cent vegetable oil oleomar.

It is surprising to see the diff.

of the two rats after short time

ABOUT EQUALS MUD TAX

Cuba is now imposing a tax OF
ten cents gallon on gasoline for
the purpose of financing the con-
struction of road system on the
island of 705 miles of paved roads.
Just think of what a ten-cent tax
would do in Missouri. 1t seems
high, but without doubt the mud
holes of the state have exacted a
tax the past six months that would
pay the tax for an entire year.

RETURN FROM ALASKA

Mr.. and Mrs. Sigurd j. SimOnsen
arrived in Askov last Friday direct
from Chitina, Alaska, and are at
present visiting his father, H. Simon
sen, and brother, Anker NJ, being
guests at the latter home. They left
Askov IS months ago, after their
marriage, and have since resided in
the northern country where Mr.. ST.
monsen was general agent at Chitina
for the Copper River and Northwest
ern railroad which is owned by the
Kennecott Copper Corporation. Mr..
Simonsen had previously spent IS
months in Alaska so in all has been
there three years. He is looking after
some of his real estate holdings here
and in a few days they will drive to
Vergas, Mimi, for a visit with Mrs.
Simonsen's parents. Their automo-
bile was left at Askov during the IS
months stay in Alaska. Automobiling
in Alaska is rather expensive, gaso-
line being about 60c per gallon in the
interior, due to long freight hauls.
The Simonsens have not yet decided
where they will locate but do not ex-
pect to return to Alaska, having seen
enough of the Siwashes that he has
written about in the American sew
eral times AS he is an old hand
at telegraphy it will likely be easy
for him to, secure. employment if he
desires to take up that work again.

DANISH LEADER FOR
FIFTY YEARS PASSES
Claus Berntsen Was Member of
Denmark's Parliament, and One
Time Prime Minister.-Had
Relatives i'm ASkOV.

Claus Berntsen, an outstanding po-
litical and social leader in Denmark
for more than fifty years, died Sun
day, March 9th, in his native coun-
try at the age of 83.
Mr.. Berntsen throughout his long
active and eventful life took deep
interest in church and school, begin
ming as teacher in.what was known
as the "free school" at the age of IS.
He wrote several books, amongst them
some biographical sketches and fairy
tales. He was a member of the Da-
nish parliament for so years, retiring
only last November. In the years
1911, 1912, and 1913 he was prime
minister and at other times was war
minister and secretary of the interior.
He was a great leader in the fight
for the new Danish constitution which
was adopted in 1915. This gave equal
suffrage to women and was big step
in democracy, giving more rights to
the common people. A lover of free
dom his entire life was given to that
cause.
Mrs. P. P. Kilstofte of Askov, is a
niece of the former prime minister
and the Petersen brothers of the
American, are more distant relatives.
1t was only last January that Mrs.
Kilstofte received letter from Mr..
Berntsen in his own hand writing
which was very legible even at his
advanced age of SO.

BURNING MEADOWS

This is about the time of the year
when people begin to think about
burning off last years growth of
grass. For the benefit of those who
may have this in mind it should be
stated that burning meadows and
grass swamps is permissible on con-
dition that burning permit must
first be obtained from the Fire War
den and the burning done at the ear
Hest possible date before fire will run
on high land. 1t is not generally ad-
visable to start even spring grass
fire when the wind is high. To do so
may cause trouble or damage some
where On a sunshiny afternoon
when it is still or very light wind
blowing, is a good time to burn grass.
Get your permit first and then look
out for your neighbors' hay stacks, or
better yet, get together and all do
your burning at the same time.

DEMONSTRATION OF

To Be Held at Askov, Pine City,
and Brook Park.-AskOv Cow
Testing Association and Farm
Bureau Unit Elect Officers.

The joint meeting of the Askov
Cow Testing Association and the local
Farm Bureau Unit which was held
here Saturday afternoon and was ad-
dressed by F. E. Balmer from the
University Extension Division; A. E.
Hansen, dairy specialist; and County
Agent F. w. Hammargren, was at
tended by about 100 men.
A. P. Jensen who presided, opened
the meeting with a few Introductory
remarks after which the minutes OF
the last annual meeting and directors
meetings of the cow testing associa-
ton, were read by C. Flint, secretary.
Mr.. Hansen explained the re-test
feature, stating that where a cow
tested 20 pounds of butterfat in one
month it was advisable to have an
other test in from 10 days to two
weeks He also suggested possible
increase for testing of from $1.75 to
$500 per COW per year. Twenty OF
those present signed up 200 COWS for
the next testing year which COM
mences June list.
Election of directors for the testing
association resulted as follows: A. P.
Jensen, G.. Flint, L. G. Petersen, l. A
Ecklund, and Harry Mortensen.
The subject of Mr.. Balmer's talk
was alfalfa. He stated that the objec-
tive should be one acre of alfalfa fol-
every ten acres under cultivation. The
alfalfa acreage in Pine county in 1926
was 1000, an increase of 100 per cent
over 1925. There is a half million
acres of alfalfa in Minnesota now.
A. P. Jensen made few remarks
about the further T. B. testing OF
cattle in this community, more def
