Greetings to Lindbergh

Washington, Dec. 21-When
Colonel Charles Lindbergh got
up Wednesday morning, he found
a telegram wishing him a Merry
Christmas and a happy New Year
from the Minnesota State society
at Washington. It was the state
society which was the first organi-
cation to entertain Colonel Lind
bergh upon his return to America
from the Paris flight. Under the
administration of its active presi-
dent, Miss Bede Johnson, the
society stepped right into the
front of the picture and made the
colonel feel his state wanted to
be the first to extend greetings. A
magnificent reception was staged
at that time at the Willard hotel,
where Secretary Of State Kellogg
headed the receiving line.

Minnesota Dairymen Rad
ically Change Methods
Plan Efforts So That Butterfat Is
Marketed Through Winter
Months Investigation Proves

st. Paul, Dec. 20-Dairy farm
ing in the northwest has under
gone a big change in recent years,
it was shown in a report announc-
ed. today by the University Farm.
Not very long ago, the report
stated, it was the custom of Min
nesota farmers to have their cows
freshen in the spring. This meant
chat the bulk Of their butterfat
product was put ON the market
during the summer months. As a
result the market was overstocked
and prices were depressed.
Now many dairy farmers breed
their cows to freshen in the late
fall or early winter so that their
,butterfat may be put on the mar
ket through the winter when
prices are usually higher.
One of the first men in Mime
sofa to adopt this method, the re-
port revealed, was o. C. Gregg,
the pioneer farmers institute man,
who died about year ago.
The extent to which the change
in the new method has taken place
is shown in the report received at
the extension offices of the Uni
versity Farm from l.. A. Church.
ill, county agent of Houston coun-
ty.
Agent Churchill, reporting the
returns from Houston county cow
testing association for November,
said that only four herds made
over a 25-pound butterfat average
for their cows in November. This
he explains by the statement that
most of the herds freshen in the
early winter. Consequently in
November they are at the end of
their lactation periods.

1927 Budget Provides for
Fire Fighting Apparatus
$4,000 Set Aside to Modernize
Department-Tax Increase Of
Nine Mills n.

In it's article last week giving
the total tax levy for Sank Centre
next year the Herald inaivertent-
ly mixed the state and city levy.
The city levy should be 81 mills
instead of TT mills. The city in
crease of TO mills is caused by a
levy to pay for the Tourist Park
which the City has been renting
and $4,000 for new fire apparatus.
The total increase over this year
is nine mills.
In this connection it is under
stood that the impression has gain
ed credence that the City Council
has reluctantly granted the request
of the department. Alderman
Gray informs the Herald that
when the budget for next year was
fixed the Chief of the Department
was asked to come before the
Council and explain the Depart
ment needs, and that following
this explanation the $4,000 was
voted for new equipment. This
money will not, however, be avail
able until April and November of
next year. The following is the
corrpcted 1evv.

County May Buy
PoWer SnoU Plows
Commissioner Ferd Borgmann
Fathering Plan to Supply
Tractor for Each District

Editorially last week the Herald
suggested that the time had ar
rived for the commissioners of
Stearns county to consider SER
iously the proposition of purchas-
ing and operating snow plows of
sufficient size to keep free from
snow the county roads of old
Stearns.
The Stearns County Commits
sioners met at st. Cloud Wednes-
day of this week to clean up the
business of the year. Commission
er Borgmann of this district is
heading a campaign with the CON-
missioners to purchase additional
caterpillar tractors and snow plows
of sufficient size to cope with the
situation. The county now owns
three large caterpillars, two more
are required to place one in each
commissioner district.
There is apt to be some opposi-
ton to the plan by the inland
towns of the county as they will
likely contend that with all year
roads the traffic and business will
gravitate to the larger centers of
population.
The cost of providing snow
blowing equipment for each of the
districts is estimated at about
$4,000. Mr.. Borgmann has fig
ured that the cost per pillow and
tractor would run about $4,000
each and there are five districts.
The St. Cloud district, however, is
fairly well cared for now by state
highways.
Mr.. Borgmann is always faithful
to the best interests of the district
and the county. AsE

Foreign Butter Receipts
Keep Prices Down
New Zealand and Denmark Max.
ing Heavy Shipments-Heavy
Poultry Receipts

Receipts of butter at Chicago,
New York, Boston, and Philadel-
phia, as represented in tubs, show
ed a decrease last week, the COM
parison being as follows:
Last week-101, 1880 lb.
tubs.
1926-iSane week-115,914 -
go lb. tubs.
The actual make of butter has
been somewhat under that Of a
year ago for some weeks. The
current supply Of good, fine quail
ity continues to he light and
storage stock has been drawn on
to make up the deficiency. It is
likely higher market might have
prevailed if it haa not been feared
higher prices would attract sup
ply of butter from foreign shores.
English markets have been weaker
and cable quotations have regis
tered lower from day to day. On
Friday last, New Zealand butter
was selling in London at $34 10
per 100 lbs, this Dased on current
rate of exchange. This means
that New Zealand butter might be
landed in New York at approx
mately AT 3-4 cents, which is some
what below the present quotations
on Extras. However, there will
be some Danish and New Zealand
butter on practically each boat
coming from Copenhagen or Lon
don.
Storage holdings are larger than
last year, particularly in New
York. In the Producers Price Cur
rent of Saturday, December II,
New York stocks were reported as
10, 653,427 lbs. compared with
1914, 485 lbs. at the same time
year ago.
Continued shortage of goods in
New York will undoubtedly tend
to decrease the surplus. When this
is removed, we will have to have
a larger domestic production or we
may expect continued imports to
make up the amount intended for
our total requirements.
The movement of live spring
chickens has been good the past
week, as the weather has been
cold, making it favorable for pro-
ducers to get their stock to mar
ket.
Some of the earlier birds are
now showing quite shaggy, and as
the consuming trade dischiminates
against them, it will be necessary
to make some reduction in paying
prices for them.
Receipts in some territories in
dicate that the end of the spring
chicken crop is in sight.
The movement of live fowls con-
tinues liberal, being out of pro-
portion as compared to spring
chickens, based on movement in
seasons past. This movement in
dicates fowls have not yet started
to lay freely.
Receipts of dressed poultry gem
orally, in the large markets have
been very heavy, which is no
doubt due to the fact that Christ
mas comes on Sunday, and the
best market days are one or two
days earlier than usual. There
seems to be a fairly good demand
for all kinds of poultry for the
holiday, part of which is due to the
favorable weather for marketing.
The present cold spell which
seems to have spread pretty well
over the country. may have some
influence on the production, which
would have q tendency to bring
about a firm market.-Produce
