COST OF PRODUCING
RUTABAGAS
By Andrew T. HOyerstad
University Farm, st. Paul.

Rutabagas are generally raised as
a cash crop on farms in the Askov
community. They can also be used as
feed crop, serving in the same capa-
city as silage in supplying succulence,
AS this crop requires rich soil, it is
very often planted on land that has
just been cleared and broken. Be-
cause it does we'll on such soil, and
also because it is crop which re-
quires much hand labor and brings
a very large gross cash income per
acre, it is a desirable crop for the
community.
The average cost of producing a ton
of rutabagas on the farms on the Pine
County Farm Accounting Route in
1926 was $5.01. A detailed statement
of the cost of production is given in
the following table.

work is not pressing On old ground
it is a good crop to clean the land
of weeds as the rutahagas must be
hoed by hand. The crop has it's prin-
cipal disadvantage in the fact that it
effects the fertility of the soil, causing
the succeeding crops to-be poor Boil.
the new settlers and the older far,
mers like to grow some rutabagas,
because a small acreage usually
means large cash income.

great step in transatlantic communi-
cation by air would be that of multi
motored planes. r.
''I believe" he said, ''that they will
start to demonstrate their possibilities
in very short time, although regu-
lar communication by air mail will not
start until years of development and
research have passed
The colonel said he believed the
present was "a very fitting time to
look forward to the possibilities of
commercial passenger service in the
air.
"I would like to bring forward, :"
he said in closing his ten minute
speech, "the necessity of developing
airportS as quickly as possible in
each town and city. AS soon as they
are placed we'll have a passenger
service equal to our air mail service
and better than that of any European
country"
Colonel Lindbergh, dressed in the
evening clothes that were made for
him in Paris, heard himself eulogized

Kingdom of Christ, he said.
Resolutions were adopted unani-

laws. Special stress was laid on
the. fact that the 18th amendment
should be enforced.
A resolution favoring suppression
of obscene and immoral literature
was passed. One condemnipg OBJ
scene and indecent plays also was
adopted. '''sl
The question of labor and capital
was discussed at length, and a reso-
luton adopted to the effect that the
working conditions of labor should
be improved and that an amendment
should be made to the constitution
of the United States making it illegal
to employ child labor This resolu-
ton, Rev. Mathews said, was adopted
because it was the wish OF the dele
