Al Sheep Work Goes
Over Good First Year

Results of the first years work
in the advanced junior sheep pro-
ject for club boys and girls between
the ages of 18 and "a have just
been summarized at University
Farm by w. E. Morris, livestock
specialist, who, assisted by state
club leaders and county agents,
launched this new work.
From his flock of ten ewes Mar
vim Nelson of Cyrus, Pope county,
a student of the West Central
School of Agriculture, raised 16
lambs weighing 1929 pounds when
their average age was $50 days, an
average of 1929 pounds per eve.
Robert Grant of Granada, Martin
county, placed second, Is lambs
raised, weighing 1,400 pounds at an
average age of $50 days, or an av-
erage of 40 pounds per eve. Err
win Howard of Choko, Stevens
county, was third, ID lambs having
total weight of 1925 pounds
when their ages averaged $50 days,
for an average weight of lamb pro-
duced per eve of 1925 pounds.
Others in the order of placings
were Vernon Rairdin, of Montevi-
deo, Floyd Toun, of Morris, Har-
old Getchell, of Kensington, and
Nettie Eklund, of Chokio.
Juniors entering this project had
to own, feed, and manage flock
of ten ewes each, either bred by
them last fall or purchased as bred
ewes before lambing in the spring
Feed records were kept and re-
ported to county agents, and the
lambs were weighed when their
average age was $50 days. Awards
were based on the total weight of
lambs produced in that time, the
percentage of lambs raised, and
record of feed and cost.
! Good profits were made general
ly by the young shepherds. For
instance, Marvin Nelson, first prize
winner, had a gross return from
sale of lambs at IA cents a pound
! of $3.50 per eve in his flock, or
a total lamb return from ten ewes
| of 1928. In addition, his wool crop
had a value of better than So for
each eve. The ten ewes purchased
as bred ewes in the spring cost S15
each. His share of the prize money
given by the Minnesota Livestock
Breeders association amounts to
$40.

Many Forces Behind
Junior Stock Show

Nearly $4,000 was used in fl
nancing last years Junior Live
stock Show. Much more will be
required this year, probably ST.
500 more, say the managers, be-
cause many more juniors will at
tend with exhibits than attended a
year ago. The dates for the 1928
show are November IL to Is in

Among the organizations which
open their purses to pay this ex-
pense bill are the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association and the
st. Paul association which give
$4,000 each every year. The Min

Agricultural Notes
Culling School Held
for Poultry Breeders

Culilng Scnooi f1elo
for Poultry Breeders
When only five of 28 persons
managed to pass a poultry culling
examination given by A. G.. Smith,
chief of the poultry division of
the university, at meeting of the
Minnesota Baby Chick association
officials of the association request
ed the university authorities to
hold three-day culling school or
short course at University Farm
for specific training in the culling
of focks.
Forty-six men and women ap-
peared for the course which was
conducted by Mr.. Smith assisted
by A. A. Holberg, formerly of the
university staff but now of River
Falls, Wisconsin, and Phillip
ItSchwab of Little Falls, former
student of the Minnesota School of
Agriculture. The 46 were either
representatives of hatcheries which
are producing rs per cent or more
of the annual chick output of the
state or were independent breed
ers eager to acquire the ability to
detect the birds that fall short of
standard requirements or that, on
account of disease, are unthrifty
and therefore unable to make eco
nomical use of feed as proved by
growth and egg production.
At the end of three days of study
and demonstration one-half of the
46 passed final examinations and
were declared by the Minnesota
Baby Chick association to be COM
petent to Gull flocks and thus help
to maintain a better standard of
stock in the state. All who came
to the course remained until it's
close, and the work was regarded
so successful that the university
men were asked to arrange for an
other school.

which was paid over to the club
boys and girls for their. fat young
stock. AS many more single lots
are to be put on sale this year than
in 1927, receipts will doubtless
surpass those of a year ago. Be-
sides, every exhibitor is sure of
some prize, some reward for his
enterprise in fitting an animal or
bird. A minimum prize, sufficient
to pay the transportation expenses
from the home shipping point to
South st. Paul, is given on every
entry. The railroad fares of all
contestants to the show and return
are paid by the management from
funds subscribed by the business
interests.
Not orly the premiums but tro-
phies and special trips, which cost
real money, are provided by the
sponsors and by associations of
breeders, by newspaper proprietors
and others who believe in club
work and it's influence upon agri-
culture.

Minnesota Produces Large
Part Of Country's Iron Ore
Experiments Are Being Made
Which May Make Ore Now
Useless Profitable

+, minnesota and it's industries will
not lose because great quantities
of iron ore are now deemed unfit
Tor use, if the University of Min
nesota has its way.
Experiments are being conduct
ed at its mines experiment station.
where it is hoped that WAYS will
be found to convert the ore for
use. Some 185,O0O,0OO tons of
this nonmerchantable ore is carried
on the tax records, and the goal
! is to make this an asset and not a
liability.
OF the 65,00O,0O0 tons of iron
ore produced in the United States
during 1927, Minnesota mines
yielded 36,504,854 tons, or nearly
four-sevenths of the total, accord
ing to figures compiled in the
mining Directory of Minnesota"
recently published by the expert
ment station.
These figures are held as proof
that mines gradually are getting

Grain Needed to Fit
Cow for Fresheninp

Keeping the dry cows in some
back pasture until late in the fall
without extra feed or care is not
a profitable practice for the dairy
farmer" says T. w. Gullickson of
the dairy division of the University
of Minnesota. "Cows treated in
this manner will be in poor condi-
tion when brought to the barn at
freshening time.
AS pastures become scant in the
fall the cows soon to freshen should
be provided with an abundance of
good roughage such as legume hay
and corn silage. To put them in
condition to do their best they
should also be fed literally on
grain; a mixture of corn, barley
and oats will be satisfactory. The
grain feeding should be begun
from four to six weeks before the
time of freshening and continued
until about a week before calving
when the amount fed should be
reduced to about sone-half. A few
days before and after caIving the
COW should be given a laxative
feed such as wheat bran.
"The additional feed needed to
fit the cow for freshening accord
ing to this plan will be more than
paid for by the good dairy COW by
the increase in her milk production
during the following lactation per-
iod. The fresh COW should be
brought up to her full flow by a
gradual increase in the amount Of
grain fed. To bring her to her full
flow will require from one to four
or five weeks, depending on the
condition and ability of the ami

and to those people it is the
symbol of the greatness and
charity of America.
AS the result of this war
there are large masses Of
people actually starving to-
day. In addition there are
enormous populations suffer
ing actual privation, and in
the midst of this the wheat
loaf has ascended in imagina-
tion of men, women and chill
dren as the positive emblem of
national survival, national
tranquility, national ability to
continue in the war. We have
in the distribution of the
commodity above all others a
duty that far transcends mere
commerce. It is a duty in hu-
manity and a duty in our
self defense. It's improper
handling can spell more pri-
vation, more starvation, with
danger to national efficiency
to failure in war. Its handling
must be in a spirit by which
our commerce will have pass
ed from gain to that exalted
idealism which underlies our
national character.
There is a story yet incom-
plete and yet to be written
around wheat. You will re-
collect that Frank Norris
planned three novels, two of
which were completed in his
life time, the third of which
he had outlined. The first of
these, the Octopus" repre-
senting the hardship of the
producer and the scantiness
and dreariness of his life and
the impositions under which
he suffered. The second rep
resented the Chicago wheat
pit, the manipulation, the vio-
lence and horrible avarice
which grew out of rampant
speculation with the worlds
bread. The third, l under
stand, was planned to repre-
sent the privation, suffering
and even starvation imposed
upon the consumer by our gi-
g,antic failure in honest dis
tribution. Many of these
evils have already been elimi-
mated by constructive work of
our grain trade by the devel-
opment of our national con-
science. But when this war
is over it will be possible to
write this third volume, not
in Norris respondent and
despairing tones of tragedy,
but if we do our duty it can
he written in terms of tri-
umph. For today, if we do
that duty, it will represent so
far as we are humanity cap
able, the honest and fair treat
ment of the farmer, the lift
ing of his level of life, the
abolition of speculation, the
honest and economic distribu-
tion of our daily bread. We
will have managed the scanti-
ness in supply of this almost
famine year of 1917, not by
the privation of the poor, but
by the self-denial of the bet
ter-to-do and its royal shar-
ing into the hands, on one
side, of those of the allies
who were giving their life
blood to preserve our institu-
tions, and, on the other, given
as charity to that mass of
liberty loving people who
have been oppressed and
strangled by the worlds
greatest enemy"
