POULTRY WORK SHOWS
REAL PROGRESS IN 1922

Poultry project work given by the
agricultural extension service of the
university was carried on in nine Min
nesota counties in 1927 on the local
leader basis, says Cora Cooke, poul-
try specialist. In two counties the
work of both the first and second
projects was given. Number of men,
bers enrolled was 2,O86; others who
were helped in some way brought the
total number of persons reached to
5,258.
Miss Cooke reports higher rate
in the adoption of practices than in
1926. Poultry houses were improved
by 35 per cent of the members as
compared with 80 per cent the year
before. Improved feeding practices
were adopted by SO per cent as
against 20 per cent in 1926. Some
So per cent, compared with hoppers
to their equipment. This increase
was a direct result of demonstrations
given by the specialist in all groups
of the making of feeders for farm
flocks.
Seventy-one per cent Of the men,
bers completed the project, an in
crease of per cent over 1926. Some
of the counties had high records in
this respect. In Sherburne county 81
per cent of those enrolled in poultry
project II made minal reports. Sew
eral counties received reports from
more than 80 per cent of their men,
bers.

FARM BUREAU MAKES
OBJECTION TO RAISE
IN LIVESTOCK RATES

Declaring that livestock producers
would be forced to pay the bill If rail-
road freight rates were increased, j.
F. Reed, President of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation, appeared
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in hearings held at the fed
eral building in St. Paul, January 9,
10 and II, to object to any increase
at this time.
The hearings on the Livestock Rate
Case at St. Paul will be followed by
similar hearings to be held at Kansas
City and Chicago.
Backing up his testimony with de-
finite facts and figures gathered in
various parts of the state during the
past sixty days, Mr.. Reed made a
formidable presentation of the case
for Minnesota farmers and livestock
breeders.
He produced figures from Madison,
Mimi, Livestock Shipping Association
showing that for the year 1926 the
Madison Association handled 274 cars
of livestock that brought the farmers
1926, 661.39, an average of $1,933.07
per car, and that in 1927 the same as
ISOLATION handled 268 cars, which
brought the farmers $437, 621.54, an
average of $1,632.54 per car. The
livestock making up these shipments
were of about the same kind each
year.
Figures were produced showing the
relative return to the farmers Of
Minnesota for a number of lears last
past; that there had been a constant
ly diminishing return for agricultur-
al effort in the state since the year
1924, which was much the best year
since 1921, when agriculture was de-
flated in this country; that the year
1925, according to the United States
Department Of Agriculture, showed
$42,419,O00 for agricultural effort ov-
err 1925; and the year 1927 would
show in excess of three million dol
lars less return to the farmer than
1926. He showed, by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, that the returns
the farmers received in this country
as a whole for the crop year of 1926
'27 for investment and management
was PHO per cent; that corpora
tions making returns to the Bureau
of Internal Revenue showed earnings
during the same year, for capital in
vestment and management, of IL per
cent. He further showed by the same
authority that the price of farm lands
in the country had deprecated, from
March 1926 to March 1927, per
cent; that from 1920 to 1927 there
had been depreciation of $15,000,-
100000 in the value of the agricul-
tural plant of America; that during
the same time there had been an in
crease of $4,000, 100000 in the valu-
alton of the plant industrial enter
prises. He showed that in the states
Immediately west of Minnesota, for
the year 1927, the value of agricul-
tural products had increased over the
crop year of 1926 but explained this
by saying that for number Of years
past and eliminating with the year
1926 these states had not made their
normal agricultural production and
the increase for the year 1927 in the
returns for agriculture in these states
was largely, if not wholly, attribut-
able to the normal production reach
ed in 1927.

POWER COMPANY FILES
NOTICE OF APPEAL

The Susquehanna Power Com
pany has filed notice with the Com
missioners of Hartford county of an
appeal to the State Tax Commits
sion on the Commissioners assess
ment of approximately $4,000 900
on the Conowingo property. The
matter may eventually be heard by
the Circuit Court of Hartford county.
The Commissioners arrived at
their assessment after thorough
study of the Susquehanna Power
Company's own figures, and con-
sulation with two nationally known
engineers and appraisers. The
itemized appraisement does not in
cIude machinery which will be as
sessed separately at an amount
which it is presumed, will approx
mate $7,O0O,00O, making total
on the dam in Hartford
County of over $25,O0O,000. The
assessment on the real estate by the
County at the present ri would
yield $2S5,00O this year in taxes.

FREIGHT CAR GOES OFF END OF
TRESTIE

A freight car, loaded, with fertil-
izer, was shifted onto the high tres
tie at the S. M. Ward Co. warehouse
in this town, on Thursday night OF
last week, with such speed that it
went the length Of the siding, crash
ed through the stop block, and
brought up with one end resting on
the ground, the other on the end OF
the trestle, which is about fifteen
feet high. The car was unloaded in
this position and pulled back onto
the track by the wreck-train Sun
day morning. More damage was
done in getting the car back into
the track, than when it crashed
through the end Of the coal shed
going off, as a large section of the
high stone foundation wall was torn
down, and some of main timbers OF
building snapped off. 1t is estimated
the damage done to the warehouse
property will reach fully $500.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

This week our school is putting
on the Crowell Publishing Co. Mag
azine Campaign. We feel this cam
paign is very well worth every bit
Of effort we put in it. The maga-
zines for sale are "Collier's," .The
American" "Woman's Home Com
panion,' Mentor" and Farm and
Fireside." All of the magazines are
well worth while. The school re-
ceives a commission on every sub
scription taken. In. addition to this
each pupil making three or more
sales receives an individual prize.
Last year we were successful in our
campaign and we hope to be even
more successful in this years drive.
The money raised in the campaign
goes to the High School Athletic
Association. This is entirely sepa-
rate from our school fund. The
money raised by the school supper
is used entirely for school room
helps and necessities. This year
each Of the elementary school rooms
have been given $40 out of the
school fund, and the Board of Edu-
eaton also gives each room $40, and
this money will be used for purchasl
ing supplementary books for the
grades. We solicit your support in
this drive.
On Friday afternoon our school
teams journeyed to North East and
came away with defeat and a VIC
tory. Our girls field ball team de-
feated the strong North East team

feat to superior North East soccer
team, by score of z to o.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
School For Colored Children At
Rising Sun Discussed


The Board of Education met in
regular session on Tuesday, October
9Th. Those present were Mrs.
Eleanor J. Moore, President; Fred
Lewis, Vice-President, and j. e.
Crothers.
The minutes of the regular meet
ing Of September 11th and special
meeting of September 14th were
read and approved.
The County Superintendent re-
ported that he had been able to
secure bus, to relieve the over
crowded condition of the bus from
the Eighth District, arriving at Ris-
ing Sun High School. This bus is
to run into the Eighth District to
Rock Springs and pick up children
along the route.
Miss Rachel Collision were appointed
as teachers in the elementary
schools of Cecil county.
A card from Mrs. William j.
Smith and family, expressing appre-
citation of the flowers sent by the
Board Of Education at the time OF
the death of Miss Gertrude A.
Smith, was read.
The County Superintendent re-
ported the result of the conference
on the part of the Supervisors and
himself concerning report cards for
the year to the Board of Education.
This new form of report card was
deemed quite an improvement over
that of last year and was, con-
sequently, adopted. The report
card agreed upon in conference with
the Committee of High School Prin-
cipals and the County Superinten-
dent was likewise adopted with
favorable comment.
The Board considered the possible
number of colored children living
around Rising Sun in relation to
opening school there, but because
OF the few number of children and
the inability to. secure room at the
present time, deemed it unwise to-
take any definite action at this time.
The County Superintendent sub
mitted to the Board of Education
the results of the audit of the
books of the Board of Education
of Cecil County made by Haskins
and Sells for the year ending July
81, 1928. This audit included the
funds known as the Maintenance
Funds" for the year and that of the
special funds known as the Capital
Outlay Account"
