SWINDLERS POSE AS
HIGHWAY EMPLOYEES

Reports that several persons have
obtained credit or money by repre-
senting themselves as employees of
the State Highway department, have
reached the central office in St. Paul.
No one should extend credit or cash
checks upon the mere word of a
stranger that he is employed by the
State, says a warning from the de-
partment. Employees of the High
way department generally carry some
card or certificate of employment, or
they can identify themselves through
the engineer or maintenance super
intendent under whom they are en-
ployed.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS POISONED.

John W. Peterson, farmer residing
on Lake Elizabeth, near Atwater
MIMI, believes he has solved the mys.
terry of the scarcity of prairie chick
ems in that vicinity this year.
Mr.. Peterson has been a hunter
for many years, but this fall failed
to have his usual luck with prairie
chickens.
With other farmers near Atwater
Mr. Peterson used a certain powder
when seeding last spring. 1t was
highly recommended by agricultural
authorities for exterminating goph-
erS.
During the early summer months
a number of prairie chicken coveys
were seen in the vicinity and plans
were made for a good hunt in the
fall but in June numbers of the birds
were found dead in the fields. Al
one time Mr.. Peterson found chick,
en- with her entire brood dead.
Farmers who have used the pow.
der also discovered that numbers OF
their own chickens had died after
scratching about in the fields.
These conditions also were found
in the districts about Willmar ant
Litchfield where many of the farmer:
had used the same powder in seeding
their corn.
1t is believed that the prairie chick
ems, while scratching for food, go'
hold of corn that had been treateo
with the powder and died as re
suit.
Mr.. Peterson stated that he hat
not been troubled with gophers thi.
year, even though prairie chickens
were scarce.-St. Paul Daily News.

1t shall be the duty of the assessor
when he has knowledge of such in
r. tended sale or removal, to notify the
county auditor of such intention, and
thereupon the county auditor shall
proceed by distress to restrain such
sale or removal of the property and
to secure the payment or lien of the
taxes due or to become due. If at
any time of such distress the levy for
the year is unknown, the county audi
tor shall determine the amount of the
taxes by applying the rate of levy of
the preceding year to the assess
ment of the current year, and upon
payment to the county treasurer of
the amount so aScertained the county
auditor shall make a certificate re-
such taxes.
Section 3. Tax rate.-If when the
rate of levy for the current year is
fixed, it is found that the amount of
taxes, ascertained and paid as pro-
vided for in section 2 hereof, is great
er than the amount would be under
the current levies the excess shall be
refunded to the person paying such
taxes. If the amount paid is less than
it would be under the rates of levy
for the current year, the deficiency
shall be collected in the same manner
as other personal property taxes are
collected.
Section 4. Owner may give bond.
Should the owner of the property
at the time of the distress so elect
he may file good and sufficient bond
with the county auditor, such bond to
be approved by the auditor, obligat-
ing all parties thereto to pay all taxes
due on said property when the same
are payable under the law, thereupon

fields in Redwood County. A guar
anteed method of eradication of solid
patches in large areas down to a
fraction of an acre should come with
great response on the part of the far
mers and landowners who have Can
ada thistle, and this reference does
not leave out very many of Redwood
County's farmers. The method re-
ferred to is thorough cultivation of
the ground by very shallow blowing
and discing up until the latter part
of May or first Of June, followed by
seeding of fifteen pounds of alfalfa
together with one bushel of oats. AS
soon as the oats get up about eight
inches high they should be clipped
with the mower, running the mower
as high as it can be run, clipping
about three to four inches high. In
about a month the second clipping
should be made, followed by the third
clipping month later.
Unless the thistles are not extreme
ly thick the last two cuttings or pos
sibly all three cuttings may be util-
lied for hay. After the second years
haying, three cuttings to the season,
with a good stand of alfalfa, the
Canada thistles will be practically
eliminated. The few that may re-
main will be choked out in third or
fourth year just by haying the alfal-
ia in ordinary manner. In this way
no crop is lost and this provides the
simplest, and probably the easiest
method of controlling areas of Can
ada thistles that are now taking an
enormous toll from the profits of the
farmers.
For further information concern
ing these methods, communicate with
the County Agent Sheldon,

in models and prices, many makes of
cars will get a lower rate than in
