woodlots. Some say they are WORTH
less and some say they are very val
liable. The authors of the bulletin
take the latter view. They point out
that there is a market for cordwood
at from 81 to Sill cord, according to
the species and the locality, and that
every year a cut may be made from
a well managed woodlot which will
enable a farmer and his team to earn
a labor income of Sc day, and that,
too, at the time of year when both
farmer and horses would otherwise
be idle.
The bulletin further points out that
in Is counties in southeastern Minnie
sofa there are 724,S00 acres of wood
land and that conservative estimate
would indicate total stand of 49,
100000 cords on this acreage. This
should produce 100000 cords of wood
annually and continually. At So a
cord this would mean for the farmers
of the Is counties an added income OF
$2,5OO,OOO. The authors of the bulle-
tin say, in closing, that the wOodlots
of southeastern Minnesota present an
opportunity to make over % per cent
of the land of the farms in the region
produce net annual revenue of $1.50
to So an acre with very little labor
other than the harvesting of the crop.

Conflicting Sentiments.
The announcement in the daily
press that the Norwegian Lutheran
church at its biennial convention in
Minneapolis last week cast a trial
vote in favor of abolishing the name,
Norwegian, from the official name
of the church, has created something
of a sensation among the Norwegian
church people, in spite of the fact
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-06-14

that the decision was not unexpected.
However, nothing definite has been
done as the vote has to be ratified at
the convention two years hence, and
also by a majority of the local con-
gregations. 1t is claimed that rs per
cent of the congregations of the
church are located in districts where
Norwegian is still the favorite Ian
guage for worship. The sponsors of
the name change maintain that
Norwegian" must be considered an
obsolete part of the name of the
church.

resident Coolidge decided to spend
lis summers vacation on the
CEDAR Island estate Of the late
Henry Clay Pierce, he selected the
very headquarters of the army Of
North American trout.
If it's fishing the President wants
and, judging from his enjoyment
of the sport on previous vacations,
it is-he could not have picked a
better spot.
The cold waters of Brule River
hold the great-granddaddi of all
the gamey trout that ever glad
dened a flshernan's heart.
Native Guides Eager
One of the men who eagerly is
awaiting the Presidents arrival IS
George Babb, the champion fisher
man of the country. He knows
every foot of the Brule River bot
tom and is planning to offer his
services to the President as a guide.
Another is Antoine Dennis, TO-
year-old boatman, who probably
will be chosen to take the President
up and down the stream in his row.

for the trout in the Brule know the
anglers tricks from of old and are
wary.
With Babb and Dennis to steer
him around, however, President
Coolidge should be able to make
some splendid catches.
The basic situation of the Brute

or speckled trout. In addition. how
ever, there is a wealth of brown
trout, good number of steelheadS
and fair number of rainbows.
Ten Founders Common
The rainbows grow the largest.
ten-pound specimens being not I'M
common; but local fishermen say
most of this species have probably
left the river for Lake Superior by
this time.
1T is partly because the late Mr..
Pierce was a fishing enthusiast that
trout are so abundant in the waters
Of his estate.
When he built his summer home
here he found brook and brown
trout in abundance, but no steel
heads or rainboWs.
These fish are natives of the
Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast
streams. So Mr.. Pierce proceeded
to stock the stream with them, and
the supply has been increasing ever
since.
