Trust Funds of Minnesota
Are Increasing Rapidly
Will Reach $1OO,000,00o Mark
Within Decade State Auditor
Chase Says in Statement

st. Paul, Aug. 18-Minnesota
trust funds will strike the $780,
100000 mark within a decade if
continued uniisturbed, Ray P.
Chase, state auditor, predicted to-
day in a report showing that the
present accumulations total $685.
325,249. 81.
The sum now drawing interest
for the benefit of the university,
schools, internal improvements and
state welfare institutions is great
er than that possessed by any
state east of the Mississippi river.
Source of the funds indicate that
Minnesota's iron ore resources have
reached a point of development
under which they have contributed
more than any other single reserve.
Through the royalty on iron ore
the state has received $2O,539,-
453.5l while the occupation tax
on. iron ore has contributed So
9O7 ,442.69. Sales of land and
right OF way have brought the sec
ono largest amount from any group
$23,951,9 $50 while sales of tim.
Der has brought $14,O92,OO.78.
Profit made by the state on sales
OF bonds in handling it's invest
ments now total $367,422. "a.
The rapidity with which the trust
funds increase is shown by the
fact that since 1914-13 years
they have doubled. At that time
the increase amounted to $30,923-
996. Is. Even since March 81,
1927 until July 1, the funds Jump
ed nearly $2,000,000 with many of
the largest payments being made
during that period. March 81 the
funds totaled $61,890,726, Mr..
Chase pointed out.
During the next 13 years if the
present policy is continued, the
funds stand 70 double which would
give the state reserve of about
$123,000,000 an unprecedented
sum in the history Of trust funds
among American states.
Present standings of the various
funds are: Permanent school fund,
$48,571, 046.05; permanent univer-
sity fund, $3,678,166.64 internal
Improvement fund $376,901;
swamp land fund SO, 699,13 SO.
A total of $2,533,000 was taken
from the internal Improvement
fund some years ago to redeem
railroad adjustment bonds back by
the state in its early state history.
During the fiscal year, ending
July 1, the accumulation of the
funds amounted to $4,528,599.48.
Three funds were enriched - fol-
lows: School, $3,827,252.73; uni
versity, $332,567 .02; swamp land
$367,779. 73.

make a great deal of difference in
the time needed to finish the con-

"This job is one of the big pro

1t is estimated that when the road

something of an engineering feat.

to cough up at least $4,000 to pay
the expenses of the homecoming

If the crowd runs into the thous-
ands it is expected at least $780,
900 will be expended in Little

made on a modest expenditure of

Agricultural Notes /
WINTER WHEAT INCREASE

a.
Based on reports from farmers
in Minnesota the last Of July, in
dicated intentions were to plant
80 per cent more winter wheat
than was planted last year and 20
per cent more rye, according to
Paul II. Kirk, federal statistician
for the Minnesota Crop Reporting
service.
This does not mean that farmers
will actually plant 100000 acres
OF winter wheat and 565, 900 acres
of rye, because weather, soil con-
'ditlons and other factors may alter
their plans.
This report is made primarily to
present to farmers an idea of what
farmers not only in Minnesota but
in the United States intend to
plant in sufficient time to allow
them, if though advisable, to
change their own individual in
tentions. No doubt, the principal
factor which influenced farmers in
Minnesota to increase the intended
winter acreage from POI, 900 acres
planted last fall to 100000 acres
the intended acreage, this fall, was
the good yields the past two years
compared with yields Of spring
wheat.
Weather conditions are also fa-
vorable for blowing and planting,
and this, together with good yields
and fair prices, has increased the
intended acreage of rye from All,
900 acres planted last fall to 565,
900 acres the intended acreage to
be seeded this fall.
For the United States the inten-
tons were to increase winter wheat
1877 percent, or 48,637,000 acres
and rye 1919 per cent, or 1929,
600 acres.

The quality of timber depends
largely upon the density of the
stand. High quality timber to a
great proportion of its height is
free of limbs, the cause of knots; ;
it is tall; and does not decrease
rapidly in diameter from the butt
to top of last log. In dense stand
of timber there is among the indi-
vidual trees considerable competi-
ton for sunlight, with the result
tina height growth is increased.
Trees in crowded stands therefore
are usually taller than those in
thin stands Ct the same age.
s's
When trees are so 'crowdede that
sunlight does not reach the lower
branches, these soon die, become
brittle, and fall off or are broken
off by the wind, snow, or other
agencies. Further, in dense stands
the diameters of trees do not de-
crease rapidly between the butts
and tops. The reverse is true of
uncrowded trees. For best results
in timber growing in farm woods
or elsewhere the trees should be so
crowded that the crown or top of
each individual tree may be in con-
tact with those of its nearest
neighbor.
Fattening improves chicken
meat. This Improvement, and not
mere added weight, is the main
object of fattening. Putting on
fat for fats sake is purely ,secon-
Diary. When a chicken has been
properly fattened, much of the
water in it's flesh is replaced by
oil; so that when the chicken is
cooked it's flesh becomes tender
and juicy. A suitable fattening
ration for chickens can be made
from a variety of grains. Here is
one: 6 parts by weight of corn
meal, 2 parts ground oats, without
hulls, IL parts middings and u
part meat scraps. Mix with milk
using 2 pounds of milk to 1 pound
of mash. When you first put the
broilers on the faItening ration be
careful not to overfeed. Keer
them with keen appetites, especial.
ly for the first few days. Their
gradually increase the amount OF
feed each time until toward the
latter part of the fattening period
the broilers are getting all they
will eat. Compound solution OF

THREsHING PROGRESSING

The grain in the vicinity of
Sank Centre has been cut and the
threshers are busy. But little
wheat has been threshed, but the
yield is slightly above the five
year average with much of it
grading No. 2. Black rust in the
last days wrought, havoc with a
splendid outlook. The yield of rye
is satisfactory, barley is fair and
the oat yield in many farms is
averaging between 40 and SO bu-
shells per acre, which is considered
very good for this sasection. The
second crop of alfalfa has been
cut. Corn is not making as much
Roadway as the farmers would like.

Hogs multiply very rapidly. BY
Keeping one good sow and her pigs
and breeding them regularly one
can produce more than 800 hogs
IN 3 years In view of this rapid
increase the producer can afford to
pay a liberal price for a good SOW.

lowing spring and put on pasture,
where they should do well if the

gradually. Those inclined to be
unthrifty should get little grain,
but the more vigorous ones will
feed.
1t is not an uncommon practice
to start feeding silage immediate
ly after the silo is filled. IL a
sufficient amount is fed off daily,
this will lessen if not entirely elm
mate the usual waste from spoiled
silage that is found on top when
the opening of the silo is delayed a.
month or more. iSilage still warm
from fermentation is not relished
by cows at first but will produce
no i'll effect provided it shows no
mold. Moldy silage should not be
fed.
Systematic control of grazing,
giving the opportunity for applying
research findings, in the National
Forests has increased their pro-
ductivity by 25 per cent. AT the
same time the regulation of graz
ing on the ranges has improved the
condition of the livestock where it
has been applied. On the other
hand overgrazing is continuing on
the 10000, 900 acres of unappro-
priated and unreserved public
lands together with a large acre
age of intermingled State and pri-
vate lands which cannot now Leg
ally be controlled. This overgraz-
ing has caused such deterioration
that these unregulatei ranges are
producing only one-half of the
forage they could produce, and
livestock production is greatly re-
stricted as result.
