GYPSIES ROB MAN

Sheriff Adams and Deputy Krak.
er were hosts to seven carloads OF
gypsies Friday afternoon but only
for a short time. A telephone call
from Burtrum informed the local
officers that John Schutter, pro-
.prietor of a pool hall at that place,
missed $50 after the gypsies had
paid a visit to his store. When the
travellers appeared in Long Prairie
they were told to take their choice
between giving up the money or
going to Jail. Maintaining their
Innocence, the gypsies handed over
$50 and were then told to get out
of the village as soon as possible.
The wanderers travelled in two
Pierce-Arrow cars, three Cadillac
cars, Dodge and a Buick. This
is the first troupe of gypsies to Wis
it the village this year and the
"move on" sign used in past years

staged at the Home School for
Girls on Tuesday evening, as a
benefit to the Flood Relief. The
operetta is staged in front of a
sylvan background hung with many
colored lanterns and the costumes
of bright colors combined with the
music and most clever acting on
the part of the participants makes
the entire performance thing to
be remembered. At the end of the
operetta the entire cast marched
down the flower decorted aisles to

sible are to be most highly COM

Best to Plan Fight
On Hog Cholera Now

Reading the future in the light
of the past, veterinarians of the
University of Minnesota predict
that while hog cholera ravages may
not be so extensive and costly as in
1926 there is likely to be a good
deal of trouble with the disease
this year. They, therefore, advise
every swine grower to be on guard.
Hog cholera infection has been de-
tected in several loads of hogs Of
fered to the packers at South st.
Paul. Appearance of cholera SO
early in the season indicates that
losses from the disease during the
year are likely to be serious.
DIR. C. P. Fitch, head of the di-
vision of veterinary medicines,
University Farm, says that on
farms where hog cholera existed
last year all spring pigs should be
watched very carefully and either
vaccinated early or removed from
infected ground and put on pas
ture or land where hogs were not
permitted last year and kept away
from DullulHSS oCSuPiCu ~ iio6S
which We're infected with cholera.
Hog houses and other premises
which must be used should be
thoroughly disinfected. If the
slightest sign of sickness develops
a Veterinarian should be called i'm
mediately. An accurate diagnosis
and proper precaution will often
save the swine grower many hun
dreds of dollars.
If cholera is known to exist in
any commupnity it is safe prac-
tice to vaccinate with hog cholera
serum. Double treatment is advis-
able when cholera is known to exist
on the premises of the individual
swine grower. DIR. Fitch believes
that losses WILDE lighter this year
because for one thing, there will be
more serum available than in 1926,
and, for another, that the lessons
learned in the hard school of ex-
perience in 1926 will serve to
make more people take the proper
precautions,

Mobilization chairman, who in turn
ships articles south under direction
of Mrs. Milton Spencer of Winona,
Legion Auxiliary National Rehabi-
litation Chairman. Mrs. Spencer
has asked posts and units to dis
continue contributions of money,

Awards Announced in
Alfalfa Club Project

<Aitaifa SiuD FrOJect
First place in the alfalfa project
for club boys and girls has just
been awarded by the club depart
ment of the university to Henry
Niemeyer of Homer, Winona coun-
ty. Second place was won by Ger
hardt H. Beike of Lewiston, and
third place by Walter Huebner of
Winona.
All plots of alfalfa project men,
bers were scored for uniformity of
stand, freedom from weeds, vigor
of growth, and management. Rec
ords and stories were important
factors. Each of the three boys
will receive cash prize of Sc
and railroad fare to and from the
club short course at University
, Farm June 6 to 10. The prizes
are given by the Rotary and XII
wants clubs of Winona.
Members of the project were re-
quired to grow from one-half acre
to two acres each of alfalfa. Each
had to make study of costs, which
ranged from 81 in the case of the
winner, who had half-acre plot
and who Was at no expense for
seed, limestone or incubation, to
SCI. 80 in the case of one member
who grew two acres and had to
pay for everything.
In his story of his alfalfa plot
young Niemeyer says he plowed the
d land about May 1 and narrowed it
six times to make a fine, smooth
seed bed. Then, having inoculated
with culture which he obtained
from the United States Department
of Agriculture, he broadcast seven
and one-half pounds of seed on the
half acre without a nurse crop.
That was August 2 and six days
later the alfalfa shoots were above
ground. By the Last of September
there was a fine even stand four
inches in height. When he pulled a
sample plant this spring he found
all the roots supplied with nodules
and a main root which was we'll
