TRUNK HIGHWAYS
NOT GOOD PLACE
FOR CELEBRATIONS

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment every fall receives a number of
requests for the closing of streets
which are part of trunk highway,
to permit holding Of street fairs and
other celebrations. The department
is making it rule not to grant any
such requests.
In the first place the department
has no right to turn over street for
use for any other than highway pur-
poses. Furthermore there is a SER
ious accident hazard in routing traf-
fic by a roundabout route, over un-
familiar streets, streets that often
are not in the best condition. Such
routing also causes serious inconven-
fences to all users of the state high
way.
Nearly all municipalities have side
streets better adapted to celebrations
than the streets which are designated
as trunk highways. Compelling road
users to make a detour over poor
streets while a celebration is in pro-
gress usually causes resentment
which in time is detrimental to the
town.

CENTER OF ROAD POOR
PLACE TO FIX TIRES

Every once in while we see a
whole family of women and children
out in the middle of heavily travel
ed road helping Dad fix tire says
an exchange If you want to get rid
of your wife or mother-in-law, the
middle of busy road is a good place,
but if you have any regard for your
family it is better to make them stay
in your car, or else have them get
way outside the travelled portion OF
the road.
When it is necessary to fix tire
get the car just as far out on the
right side of the road as possible
And do not let the children ramble
all over the road.
Another precaution which may save
lives: When fixing a tire at night
do not let anyone stand so as to OBJ
scure the tail light.

About Smut

Sinking smut took big toll out
of the 1928 wheat crop. The loss in
price per bushel at the terminal mar
ket price is only one of the losses that
a farmer takes when he raises smut
ty wheat. Smut cuts the yield per
acre. This loss is at least equal to
the dock he gets at the market.
Smut is prevalent all over the
country, but is easily controlled by
treating the seed before sowing. IT
is done by a simple seed treatment
costing less than nickel bushel of
seed for copper carbonate and labor
The average farmer can treat all of
his seed in an hour or two.
All winter wheat sown as well as
spring wheat should be treated with
copper carbonate, which has proven
to be the most effective and practi-
cal. This is dust and much easier
applied than the old Formaldahyde
soaking or sprinkling methods that is
only recommended for oats. As a
rule. two ounces to a bushel of wheat
is sufficient. In bad cases, three
ounces may be used without harm. To
be effective the copper carbonate
must completely cover each seed. A
mechanical mixer is most satlsfac-
tory and can easily be made, using a
barrel through which an ordinary
inch pipe is passed as an axis. Cut
a square door in the side of the bar.
rel for removing and inserting SEED
for treatment. Strips of rubber, leath
err, or similar material should be
tackled at any point from which dus'
can escape.
Cautions: Protect nose and throat
with mask or damp cloth as copper
carbonate may cause nausea and IL
ritation when inhaled in sufficien
quantities.

Chicken Showing

Poultrymen wishing to show white
birds at remaining fairs and the
poultry shows this winter are offer
ed the following suggestions regard
ing washing and caring for the birds:
Have the Mushroom fairly warm at
least 70 degrees. Have it equipped
with four tubs in each of which is a
different solution. Number one is
the wash water in which tire bird is
thoroughly immersed and scrubbed
with ivory soap suds, the soap suds
being rubbed clear down into the base
of the feathers, the solution in the
tub being warm. Number two con-
tains rinsing water and is trifle
cooler than the wash water. All soap
is thoroughly out in this second tub.
Number three contains q second rim
sing water a trifla cocic: than the
preceding tub, into which has been
added enough bluing to give bleach
ed effect without leaving blue stain
on the plumage. Number four con-
tains the last rinsing solution which IS
to remove any particle of soap. Sol
ution number four should be at the
room temperature The bird is then
famed for few minutes to hasten
the webbing out of the feathers, espe-
cially the tail, and is then placed IN
a clean cage in warm room, about
SO to IS degrees. Too high drying
temperature is likely 20 cause the
feathers to ruffle or curl. When dry
they are ready for the show. Be
sure the stripping coop is large and
strong and that it is we'll ventilated.
A Slated coop covered with muslin
is excellent.-Lynn Sheldon, County
Agent.

Run drill slowly when planting as

cital Of a Negro who goes here, does

doesn't work here.
am going to be told that this
book is the heart and soul Of the
Negro. If that is true, then Booker

WASHINGTON, March Is
Under admonitionS from President
Coolidge, Congress has hacked near
ly $30,0O0,000 from expenses of
Government departments in ap-
preparations for the coming year, a
survey by the United Press dis
closed today.
This unexpected slash leaves ap-
preparations for ten of the eleven
Government departments $7,5O0,OOO
below what the Budget Bureau had
recommended to Congress.
The decreases were made possible
largely through curtailment of &C
tivitieS of the Veterans and Pension

tons.
Increased appropriations were
made in the following amounts,
Treasury and Postoffice Depart
mentS, S7,253,004; War Department,
$6,850,690; State, Justice, Commerce
and Labor Departments, $2,433, sos;

titles of the chapter that I gave
you as I started to talk to you about
this book. If I started to send TO
you some of the words and expert
enceS that this so-called big boy Of
the black race tries to tell, would
be sent to jail along with my editor
and few others.
A laugh may not be art and many
miles from it. Here is black bur-
lesque of literature. 1t may become
fad or worse than that. Any pro-
feSsor who does not know life may
say this is a classic.
In this book is a bunch of things
that will give the reader many a
bum and cheap laugh. He tells you
a thing under the Introductory guise
Of doctor" of literature that is as
much a joke as the black who is
supposed to tell the story. Somebody
has tried to make this book the
'Black Trader Horn"
I do not believe that all the mud
and that sex thing of many expert
enceS is confined to any one man in
either the black or white race. And.
I, for one, am not going to give
credit to any one incorporated male
all the blame for that great activity
If the so-called Black Ulysses &C
tually lives and he tells the truth in
this book, then every State that he
mentions should get busy with
judges, police, morals committee
and every organization that kids
itself upon law enforcement.
And there is one credit-as far as
I remember. the State Of Indiana
was not mentioned in this wander
lust of this high-black, one-night
Turkish harem parody.
There is going to be wide range
