WINTHROP BEATEN
FOR THIRD VICTORY
STOCKTON'S QUINT RUNS STRING
OF HIGH SCHOOL VICTORIES
TO THREE BY THE 26 TO IS
WIN OVER WINTHROP.

To close the basketball season be-
fore the holidays the Redwood Falls
high school basketball team met and
defeated the Winthrop high school
team by 26 to 18 score. The game
was played at Winthrop on Thursday
night, December 22nd. At no time
during the game was the local team
in danger. Had the floor been larg-
er the score no doubt would have
mounted also but due to the small
playing space the locals could not
hit their usual passing stride.
Captain Peterson and Arnett were
tied for scoring honors for the Red
wood team, Peterson getting two field
goals and three free throws while
Arnett gathered three field goals
and free toss. Schmid accounted
for two field goals and free throw
while Worsech was credited with one
field goal and a pair of free throws.
Bravidner, one field goal and Cor
bett one free throw. Malins for the
Winthrop team was high score man
with four field goals and two free
throws.

COUNTY AGENT SHELDON TELLS
IN SECOND ARTICLE OF METH
Cd OF ERADICATION OF THE
CANADA THISTLE.

The losses which come annually
to Redwood County Farmers due TO
weeds and dockage in grain is an en-
ormous item. 1t is so large in fact
that many farmers would think per-
son crazy if he quoted them. At any
rate this constant draining to a far
mer's ledger is one place where the
margin of profit over the cost of pro-
duction may be widened.
Weeds are to be given major con-
sideration as statewide project in
Minnesota during 1923. 1t is consid-
cred that drastic effort on the part
of all active forces in the interest of
agriculture throughout the state, in
cluding every farmer, may result in
the control of the weed problem to
the extent that it may be started on
the decrease in land utility rather
than the increase which has been GO
ing on for the past number of years.
One particular weed which will be
given a merry chase in Redwood
County during 1928 is the Canada
thistle. No one can dispute the fact
