NEW GRAIN VARIETIES
GIVE ABUNDANT YIELD

Andrew Boss, vice-director of the
Minnesota Experiment Station, an
nounces that 1,700 bushels of the
new Marquillo wheat will be avail
able for distribution to approved
growers of the principal spring wheat
production area of the state. Glabron
barley seed will be allotted in state
wide way, and Anthony oats will be
distributed in counties north of line
running west of the Twin Cities.
These three new cereals were de-
veloped by the plant breeders at Uni
versity Farm. Marquillo wheat,
grown in 1928 on five acres in in
crease fields at University Farm,
gave a yield of approximately 43 bu-
shrels to the acre. At the Morris
and Crookston stations this rust re-
sistant wheat averaged rs bushels to
the acre in the increase fields. Glab-
ron barley, a smooth awned variety,
returned a yield on demonstration
plots on farms over the state of six
bushels more per acre than Velvet
barley. Anthony oats, midseason
variety having high resistance to
stem rust, gave good yields at univ
ersity stations.
distribution of the seed of these
promising grains within a county
will be determined" says DR.. Boss,
"by the county crop improvement
committee consisting of three farm
er seed growers, the county agricul-
tural agent, and representative of
the Minnesota Experiment Station.
Farmers in counties having agents
should make their application to that
official. Those in counties not hav-
ing agents should direct inquiries to
the extension agronomist, University
Farm, St. Paul."
BY approved growers" is meant
those farmers v~hL nave clean land
for seed production and facilities for
storing so that mixtures may be
avoided, and who have satisfactory
records in crop improvement work.

RENVILLE co. WOMAN
WINS SUIT IN DAMAGE CASE

A verdict for $4,000 was returned
by jury in District Court here
Monday morning in favor Of Mrs.
Anna Sausele in an action brought
for damages alleged to have resulted
from the action of Gilbert Gortgaard
in selling moonshine to her late hus-
band.
The husband, George Sause1e, died
some months ago from the effects Of
excessive drinking of moonshine
whiskey, and it was shown in court
that he had frequently purchased Ii
quor from Gilbert Kortgaard of Sa-
cred Heart. Kortgaard was arrested
on criminal charge and bound over
to the District Court and in the
meantime the action was brought to
recover damages, the amount sued for
being $4,000. Streisguth & Fordyce
of New Ulm appeared for the plain
tiff, and Daily & Barnard for the de-
PENDANT. Jury was out all night
Saturday, finding it difficult to reach
an agreement as to the amount that
should be awarded, and finally

AUSTRIAN FIELD CRESS
BOBBING UP SERENELY

Another infestation of Austrian
field cress, one of the most formid-
able and menacing of bandit plants on
Minnesota Soil, has been found on a
roadside near Lynd in Lyon county,
125 miles or more from the original
infestation on 20 to 80 acres on a
farm near Rochester in Olmsted
county. The latest discovery is con-
firmed by A. H. Larson, botanist of
the College of Agriculture. The
plant has taken over a stretch of
about a quarter of mile by the side
of the road.
This new weed pest, thought to
have been brought from Europe in
shipments Of farm crop seeds. was
first discovered in the state on land
of the Wisconsin Experiment Station
at Madison in 1919. Two years later
it was found on the border line be-
tween New York and New Jersey.
The Rochester infliction, reported to
the plant specialists at University
Farm in 1926, dates back to 1923 or
1924.
In their efforts to eradicate it the
Wisconsin station men kept the in
tested field bare fallowed for two en-
tire growing seasons, but even then
the roots of the weed continued to
send up new shoots. "More persis-
tent even than quackgrass or Canada
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1928-11-28

THISTLE" these men reported. Ir
spite of intensive cultivation the Ro-
chester farmer had no success in sub.
DUNG the weed. Early in the fall Of
1924 he plowed the land and then used
the spring tooth harrow and disk to
keep it bare. In the spring of 1925
! he repeated the process, then planted
corn which he cultivated seven times.
When the corn was finally laid by he
could not see he had made any head
way against the weed.
Austrian field cress is a member
of the pernicious mustard family and
has a root system like that of horse
radish. If the roots are by any
chance thrown into a horizontal posi-
ton they will soon send up large
numbers of shoots. Thus the plant
spreads much as does the perennial
sow thistle. The leaves have regular
cut edges resembling the teeth of
saw. The pods, smaller than a kerr
mel of wheat, contain myriads of
seeds.
Olmsted county officials recognize
the dangerous character Of the pest
and feel that the legislature should
consent to the use of general funds
for fighting it or make a direct ap-
preparation in view of the emergency.
1t is estimated it will cost $4,000 to
clean up the tract.
Warfare on such a weed pest ought
not to be left to a single farmer or
single group Of farmers says Mr..

Legion Takes Big Step ForWard
By Early Membership

''The American Legion in this COM
munity has taken a great step for
ward this year by getting an early
start in strengthening the organiza-
tion in membership for the busiest
years work in our history" post COM
mander J. c. Budik declared today in
an appeal to Legionnaires of this
vicinity who have not renewed their
1923 membership to do so at once.
american Legion Week, which
started with the Armistice Day ad-
dress of the National Commander,
Paul V. McNutt, in national hook
up over the radio in Washington, a
program in which President Coolidge
took part, has inspired the Legion
naires throughout the country with
the determination to carry through to
success the most important of activi-
ties yet planned by the Legion, ac-
cording to a statement from the Ma
tional Adjutant, James F. Barton, at
National Headquarters in Indianapo-
lis.
This community is coming up to
expectations of headquarters in this
movement of getting the membership
signed up for another year so that
more time can be devoted to work. 1t
is an Individual responsibility Of ev-
cry Legionnaire to help keep this
movement going, said Commander
Budik.
''The first major objective on the
Legion program is to increase the
service to the disabled. Thousands
of war veterans, many of them in our
own communities, should be receiving
the help that grateful government
has decreed they should receive in all
justice. Too much time elapses in
many cases. This is due chiefly to
the difficulty of connecting a mans
illness with his war service. AS time
increases this will be all the more
difficult. The Legion has a great,
big job to do in this alone.
"The Legion also demands speedi-
er justice for the needy child of the
veteran who gave his life, or his
health, in the service of his country.
This has been declared the Legion's
next duty. Third, is the Americanism
work, community service, the Junior
baseball program next summer and
the promotion of good citizenship
through education.
National defense is ever foremost
in the Legions activities, and the
Universal Draft bill that would take
profit out of war must be passed by
congress. To do these things, the
Legion must maintain in 1929 the
membership roll of 1928. By renew
ing his membership this early, the
veteran subscribes to this program
In doing so he is serving his country
in peace time with the same loyalty
that he gave in time of war. By not
subscribing, he is Sinking response
bility only himself can answer for,
and his friends will look upon him
in that way"
