TRAILER RULING TO
BE MORE SPECIFIC
Use Once a Week Held Habitual.
and Vehicle Should Be
Licensed.

A farmer who uses a trailer once
week, should register it under the
motor vehicle license law, j. E. Mark
ham, deputy attorney general holds.
In a recent ruling, Mr.. Markham
held that only trailers used "occa-
sionally" with pleasure cars were ex-
empt, but those used "habitually"
should be licensed. Later, in reply to
specific inquiries he wrote: "It is
probable that the primary purpose of
the exemption of these small trailers
was to enable a man going on a fish
ing or hunting expedition to attach
"a trailer carrying his boat or per-
haps a camp outfit. l saw no rea-
son why it should not be extended to
apply to one of these small trailers
when kept by a farmer, maybe to
haul trunk to the railway station,
perhaps to haul a tub of butter to
town and bring back some needed
household supplies, and so l extend
the ruling to meet situations of that
character.
When the farmer uses the trailer
to haul milk and cream to the cream
cry once a week, the opinion says
that "This is not occasional-it is
regular service, and a trailer used
for that purpose should be register
ed"
The tax on trailers up to one ton
capacity is 81.

concerned. These health precautions
account for the rigid requirement that
every applicant be vaccinated against
smallpox and typhoid and be physi-
cally examined.
No one enrolls in camp without it.
Not one single case Of smallpox or
typhoid fever has ever occurred in
one of these camps. Serious sick
ness is practically eliminated.
Upon being notified, applicants will
be required to take typhoid inocula-
ton and the vaccination against
smallpox before being enrolled. Those
who have had incubation and vaccin-
alton within four years prior to the
opening of the camps, will not be re-
quired TO take treatment.
Typhoid vaccine will be furnished
free by the Government but the can
didate must purchase the smallpox
vaccine himself.
Thousands of physicians in the 7th
Corps Area have volunteered to give
the typhoid inoculations, smallpox
vaccinations, and physical examina-
lions at no expense to the applicant.
Any boy eligible for camp and who
would be interested in attending may
secure all the desired information by
either writing or calling personally
at Legion Headquarters at Redwood
Falls.

to take part in the first spring rally

there late Friday afternoon the scouts
went into camp at the fair grounds,
attended the first outdoor court of
honor ever held in Sioux Area, stag
ed a parade the next day, and that

rally were the rapid progress made
by the Minnesota troop, the tying of
the area record in the fire by fraction
event, and the breaking of the area
record in archery. When assembly
was blown for camp Friday evening,
there were 127 scouts and Is officials
present. They hiked to the fair
grounds, kindled the council fire and
then held the court of honor at which
SO merit badge awards were made.

new TRAVEL MAP
OF STATE READY
Ten Thousand Lakes Assn. To
Issue 1928 Travel Map of
Minnesota Soon.

Minnesota's unusual growth in ag-
ricultural and industrial lines is set
forth in the new 1928 map of the Ten
Thousand Lakes of Minnesota Asso-
citation which has just come from the
press.
Hitherto, the map has been devoted
almost entirely to recreational facil-
tiles of the state, but this year an
important section of it is given ovC
to the agricultural and industrial re-
sources of the state. Tens Of thous-
ands of copies will be distributed in
answer to the queries that come TO
the association, and the map will
carry the story of Minnesota's agri-
cultural growth all over the United
States along with the story of its
lakes.
1.-The last agricultural census shows
that during the 15-year period end
ing in 1925 that Minnesota led As
states in agricultural growth" a
statement on the new map says.
During that period of time, Mime
sofa gained 32,094 farmers. Of that
number, 9,753 new farmers were add
ed during the years from 1920 to 1925.
That alone should be sufficient proof
of the substantial standing Mime
sofa has as an agricultural state
twenty-five per cent of the new
farms opened up in the United States
in the last decade are in Minnesota"
The statement recalls that rs years
ago there was hardly farm in Min
nesota and adds:
when the first installment of sur
veyed land was opened to settlement
in 1858, the rural population jumped
from a few thousand to more than
100000 in Is years. By 1870, there
were 46,500 farms in the state and in
the past So years this number has in
creased to $4,000"
with the average production of
farm products now amounting to up
wards of 900 millions of dollars, Min
nesota in the brief span Of lifetime
has leaped the barriers to agricul-
tural progress and become an import
ant part of the greatest food produc-
ing region in the world"
The statement also shows how Min
nesota has grown industrially, point
ing out that its manufactured pro-
ducts now are worth more than bill
lion dollars a year. The advantage
of the great terminal markets in st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth are set
forth, and attention is called to the
many other assets of the cities.
Minnesota, with approximately A.
500 farmers cooperative associa-
tions, has become the leading state
in the Union in the development Of
cooperative markets for farm pro-
ducts" the statement continues. The
total business of cooperative lnstl-
tuition of the state amount to S95,-
100000 a year There are more than
600 farmer owned and controlled CO.
