VIEW FIGHTERS,
.BUNION DERBY

NEW YORK, March 9 R)-Two
young business men, it seems, have
decided to forget about clipping
coupons and put some excitement
into the heavyweight elimination
tournament. Jack SharKey and
Johnny Risko will collect around
$4,000 each Tor their Is round
heavyweight scrap next Monday night,
but this, they would both nave fistic
fandom believe, is only a secondary
consideration.
Something like $4,000 a round, pro-
viding the battle goes the limit
and it is likely to-happens to be OF
less consequence than the cnance OF
sharing in the more important money
that goes with a championship match
Sharkey blames his mediocre show
ing against Tom Heeney on too much
prosperity and not enough incentive
He compares his attitude OF mind now
with that when he was fighting for
meal money.
This will be Riskos biggest prize
but Johnny's chief interest is in a
"good walloping fight" 1t won't be
his fault if it isn't. Risko has made
more than $150,O00 in the last three
years in the ring, but prosperity
hasn't dulled his natural fighting
instinct.

REPLANT OR THICKEN
THE DAMAGED ALFALFA

Stands of alfalfa in southern Min
nesota which suffered from winter
killing until they are very thin or at
least spotted should either be plowed
up and reseeded or thickened by SOW
ing more seed, says G. o. Rost of the
division of soils of the University of
Minnesota. 1.-THE sure way Of getting
good stand" he says, lis to pillow
the field and reseed it. Where thick
ening is attempted the fields should
be thoroughly disked or spring tooth
ed, making no effort to save the
plants that were left. Well establish
ed alfalfa plants are not easily killed
and the field should be worked
until it has the appearance of having
been plowed. 1t should then be har-
rowed a sufficient number of times
to smooth it and to pack the soil
down. Wherever a cultipacker or roll
Ter is available, it should be used to
get firm seeded.
1.-The proper time to work up the
field should be Immediately after the
first cutting. The best time for the
first cutting would be Immediately
following good rain if it comes
about haying time. With the hay re-
moved, the fields can be worked up,
the seeded prepared, and the seed
sown. 1t will not be necessary to in
oculate the seed"
DR.. Rost points out that the winter
of 1876 was especially hard on
alfalfa. There was then a span of II
years during which there was very
little winter killing with the possible
exception of the winter of 1925-26
when fields cut three times suffered
some losses. AS alfalfa is one of the
best hay crops grown, he is hopeful
that these occasional seasons when
killing takes place will not discourage
farmers from growing it.

AMERICAN VETERINARY
CONVENTION AUG. 10
WILL DRAW BIG CROWD

One of the largest conventions to
be held in the Northwest in years will
be that of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, which will take
place August to 10 at the New Nicol-
let Hotel in Minneapolis.
Thousands of veterinarians, repre-
senting every state in the Union and
number of foreign countries, will
come to Minnesota for this big con-
ventfon.
Speaking of the Importance of this
convention and of the veterinary pro-
fession to Minnesota, Dr. D. B. Palmer
Of Minneapolis, this week issued the
following statement:
1.-THE veterinary profession is abso-
lutely necessary for successful live
stock industry, and successful live
stock industry Is essential to success
full agriculture. Successful agricul-
ture is vital for prosperous nation.
The veterinary profession therefore is
one of the cornerstones underlying
national prosperity.
1.-The veterinary profession is abso-
lutely necessary to assure wholesome
animal food production, especially
meat and milk. A wholesome food
supply is vital to public health The
veterinary profession is, therefore one
of the few big factors responsible for
national health and vigor.
1T made the Panama Canal pos
sible. Very few people know this. It
is one Of the most thrilling stories in
the history of science. Under the di-
rection of DR.. D. E. Salmon, who was
chief of the United States Bureau of
Animal Industry, Smith and Kilbourne
solved the secret of Texas cattle fever.
This quickly and naturally led to the
control of yellow fever, and then, and
not until then, it was possible to dig
the canal.
"The Importance of veterinary med
icine in the United States is growing
at much greater rate than is the
profession growing in numbers.
1.-THE value of livestock in the Unit
ed States is increasing enormously.
in 1900 it was nearly three billion
dollars. In 1910 it was nearly five
billion dollars. In 1920 it was nearly
eight billion dollars.
I'm 1926 the estimated value de.
creased to five billion dollars, due to
the heavy cut in harmony with the
general agricultural situation, but
even so 1t was about &c per CEN
larger than 1900. The next censu:
probably will show another large in
crease in these values.
"The protection of this great null
titude of farm animals against disease
and the treatment of disease is the
big job of the veterinarian.
1.-The veterinarians of the country
ably led by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry on numerous occasions totally
eradicated different highly contagious
diseases of animals. In every in

AS the two men neared Fort street,

ow of the building, Joined them. He

tied with little ceremony across his
nose; a fiat wagoner's hat shaded
his eyes. you brought the right

them.

Chloe and her mate tangled them
selves up between his legs, "n If airy

the rock pile along with EN-"
Fort street was quiet as a grave
yard-not a soul was stirring and
the party reached the store unob-
served. They halted In the shadow
thrown on the north side Of the low
building. Selwood tiptoed to the cor
ner and inspected the front doors
they looked substantial. The whole
front was exposed to the blaze Of
the moonlight, and it appeared like
suicide to attempt a forcible entry.
Every aperture, he well knew, was
barred or nailed and would give only
before a determined assault.
Selwood, approaching the high shut
tered window on the north side of
the building, felt carefully all around
1t. The two dogs crouched at Scott's
feet. Selwood studied the building a
moment. Then he turned to his COM
panions.

"America the Beautiful"

No patriotic song, in this country,
meets such universal response in the
hearts of the people as does America
the Beautiful" by Katherine Lee
Bates; and there is growing demand
for its adoption by the Congress of
the United States as our national
song. The "Star Spangled Banner
by Francis Scott Key came to be used
generally during the World War as
the national air superseding my
Country 'Tis of Thee; but neither of
these has been formally adopted by
the Congress, we understand.
Here is the story of how Katherine
Lee Bates came to write America
the Beautiful" In the year 1892 she
went with party of friends to the
top of Pixies Peak in Colorado. When
she looked out on that wondrous
scene of beauty and grandeur she was
greatly moved by those wonderful
gifts which God had given to her be-
loved land. Upon her descent from
the mountain she went at once to
her hotel where she wrote down the
stanzas now so well known to all
American citizens. Two years later
she was asked to write a patriotic
song for the Fourth of July. She
thought of the one jotted down so
hastily that day at the foot of Pixies
Peak. She submitted it and from
that time, until the present it has
grown rapidly in popularity America
the Beautiful" has been set to many
different tunes. The one most often
used is the familiar old one of Mat
erna" composed by Samuel A. Ward
in 1882.
20 beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountains majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America, America, God shed his
grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brother
hood
From sea to shining sea!
20, beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine
every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
20 beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country
loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America May God thy gold
refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
20 beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities CLEAN,
Undimmed by human tears! ~
