Second Sheep and Lamb
Feeders Day, Jan. 30
Western Minnesota Farmers Will
Be Given Educational Demon
stration at Morris

The increasing number of farm
ers throughout Western Mime
sofa, who are interested in sheep
raising and lamb feeding, will
have another opportunity to inspect
the lamb feeding experimental
work being done at the Morris
branch of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station on January 80, when
the School will hold it's Second An
nual Sheep and Lamb Feeders
Day.
During the past year the Morris
Station has been conducting very
extensive experiments in fattening
native lambs, completing one series
of experiments in May and a sec
ond trial including eight different
lots of lambs that are now on feed,
to be completed on Lamb Feeders
day, Jan. 80. The purpose of the
experiments being conducted is to
acquire information of value to
farmers in Minnesota relative to
the advantages and possibilities for
profit in purchasing thin sheep or
lambs on home markets and fatten-
ing them for market. The expert
ments also have in view the COM
parison of rations, containing sew
eral protein supplemental feeds fed
separately and in combination in
increasing the rate of gain and re-
ducing costs of gains. A basal RAJ
ton of ear corn and alfalfa hay
has been used in the feeding ex-
periments.
A more complete report of the
program and meeting may be OBJ
tanned by writing directly to the
West Central School of Agriculture
at Morris.

Douglas Co. Farmer Uses
Razor to End His Life
Karl Frederick of Miltona Town
ship Commits Suicide In a
Horrible Manner

Karl Frederick, SO years old, a
lifelong resident of Miltona town
ship, Douglas County, and living
alone about one-half mile south of
the village of Miltona, committed
suicide last week by slashing his
throat with a razor. The last that
anyone saw of the unfortunate man
was Tuesday Of last week, and it
is presumed that he committed the
rash act that day while in a fit of
dependency. He was not found
until Thursday.
That morning about nine o'clock,
Mr.. Peaslee, a neighbor, went to
the Frederick home for some hay !.
Not seeing anyone around, he tried
the door and found it unlocked. He
walked in and. there found the life
less body of the man on the floor
with his head and arms resting on
a bench.
1t was known for some time
that Frederick was mentally de-
ranged, but he seemed harmless,
and never mingled to any extent
with other people. He was the
owner of a good 200 acre farm and
spent his time there.
Surviving are one brother, John,
of Alexandria, and two sister, Mrs.
Nels Erickson, and Ed Jerome, both
of lMiltona. The latter lived only
about fifteen rods from the home
of her brother. The parents are
dead, the father having ended his
life by hanging to tree on the
same farm many years ago.
Funeral services were held from
Anderson's Chapel last Saturday.
Rev. Harry Blunt officiating. The
remains were temporarily placed in
the vault at Kinkead cemetery.

PRODUCES WEALTH
State Department Estimates
$1,000,000 Fair In
crease Over 1926
VALUED AT $S,OOO,OOO
Hogs, Cattle and Poultry
are Not Included In the
Figures Compiled

Paul H. Kirk, state statisrician
for the department of agriculture,
has estimated the value of all
crops in Stearns county for 1927
at $7,060,299. N. J. Holmberg
yesterday estimated the butterfat
production for the year at $4,000
900 making a $15,00O,000 total
for products from the farms of the
county exclusive of hogs, cattle
and poultry returns.
The crop value exceeds that of
former years somewhat, the re-
port including corn, oats, rye, flax,
barley, wheat and potatoes. The
$150,000 tobacco crop which is
now being shipped is also not in
Guided in the estimate, while the
canning crop of nearly 100000
is also not included.
Stearns county has achieved the
most phenomenal development in
the history of the state in the val
ue of products for the past decade,
rising from "a mediocre position in
comparison with other counties to
a position of pre-eminence.
The increase over 1926 is more
than $1,0O0,000 in total crop val
ues, according to the Kirk esti-
mate. In 1926 all crops listed
above were valued at SIS ,926,40
There was a fifty per cent increase
in the value of the tobacco crop,
not included in the above reports,
and "a similar increase would prob
ably be noted in the stock and
poultry figures were they obtain
able at this time.
These estimates are preliminary
to the final reports by Mr.. Kirk,
but the variation of the official re-
port will be small, one way or the
other, and the percentage of in
crease in value of crops, which is
the important factor, will not vary
greatly.-St. Cloud Journal Press.

Snow Records Broken;
Traffic Kept Moving
December Coolest in Forty Yeara
But Highways Were 80 Per
Cent Open

December, 1927, was the cold
est December since 1886 and had
more snow fall than any December
since 1891, according to st. Paul
weather bureau. The cold wealth
er was general throughout the
state. The snow fall varied, some
places having more than the %. 5
inches recorded in st. Paul and
some having less. All except a
few small sections of the state,
had a very heavy snow fall, ac-
companied by high winds.
In spite of these unusual condi-
lions, trunk highways in Minneso-
ia were kept ninety per cent open
during the month, a bulletin from
the State Highway department
states. Only IN two days, when
heavy storms were in progress,
were a majority of the highways
closed. After both storms two
thirds of the routes were opened
within three days, and all but two
or three of the sixteen maintenance
districts reported all routes open
ed within week. Some of the dis
tricts which han heavy snow fall
but less wind, had all routes open
within twenty-four hours after
each storm.
The good record made by the
department unEer verv unusual
weather conditions, gives basis for
the belief that in winters with
normal snow fall it will be possible
to open all routes within few
hours after each storm abates This
winter, however, drifts are so high
in come parts of the state and thele
is so much lo,se snow that e.en q
light snow fall and wind wi c.cse
many routes and it will be difficult
to open them. This is especially
true in the west central portion Of
the state.

count.
In surveying the year 1927, Mr..
Sprague said that banking condi-
lions had improved very material
ly and that although there had
been numerous failures due largely
to poor loans carried over from
the deflation period, such loans
having been removed, the banking
system of the country generally is
on firmer foundation than ever
before.
Agricultural conditions had
proved to be better than were
expected at one time, due to fav-
orable fall weather, satisfactory
prices for cattle and dairy pro-
ducts. "A weak hog market has
been disappointing but pork, be-
ing now the cheapest meat the de-
mand should increase. "A gradual
but continued Improvement in ag-
ricultural sections may be conf

NEW YORK. N. Y, Sept. s.-Never
before has a campaign presented is
sues Of such vital Importance TO the
wives and mothers Of the nation. The
American home should be represented
in full voting strength at the polls.
The nation in normal times makes
tremendous demands upon she Amer
lean woman. In times Of stress the
country calls upon its womanhood to
rish 2 surrender Of future happiness.
American womanhood can protect
the acme against unworthy officials
by choosing worthy ones on election
day.
The woman's viewpoint has become
essential to the peaceful prosperity
Of the nation. This viewpoint can
only be translated into national ac-
ton by the exercise on the part Of
the women of their voting right. In
the 1920 election only 81 per cent Of
the popular vote was registered by
the pine More than half of the
women Of voting age refrained from
cere regard for the home.
A particular appeal is being direct
ed BY both parties to the women for
their votes. The democrats are bas-
ing their appeal on the social welfare
record OF Governor Alfred r. Smith.
the presidential nominee. His &C
complishments in behalf Of women in
industry. in the fields and in the
homes, the mothers and future moth

such cases are completely answered

The voting right Is one Of the high

after one of the greatest political cru
sades in the history Of the world. The
vote has a value to every woman.
Properly cast, it means a better home

is at the same time a high civic duty
and an important privilege. TO vote

born women who are entitled to vote.
It has been brought to my attention
that election boards in some sections
OF the country are refusing to regis
ter such on the ground that
they are not citizens.
IL should be understood that any
woman, who, prior TO Sept. %, 1922,
married a citizen is a citizen Of the
United States by the very fact Of her
marriage. Further. any fo~reign-born
woman who became a citizen Of the
United States by marriage retains
her citizenship though divorced or
separated from her husband as long
as she resides in the United States.
Election officials should be fully
acquainted with the laws in relation
70 citizenship. and those who have
barred foreign-born citizens from
registering on that ground have COM
mitted a grievous wrong.
The democratic national committee
IS prepared to answer all questions
on this topic and attention will be

the foreign-born women will be fully
