/ The first legitimate booking at the

"A Night in Spain" with Phil Baker.
Hunting big game with a camera
has it's laughs as we'll as its thrills
and dangers. This was proven by
the experience of Mrs. Martin john
son, who after four years in the
African iungles, brought back the
marvellous picture 'Simba," which
opens Sunday afternoon at the
Murat.
4 Both Martin and Osa Johnson
faced death innumerable times to
get this Photographic record of their
journey, but there was usually
leaven of humor which kept the
perils from becoming too nerve
racking.
n Mrs. Johnson's pet aversion was
the "rhino." This ugly beast SEEM
led to have an especial aversion to
her and, whenever she met one,
she always had trouble.
''I was out in the forest, a little
way from the edge of our camp
at Lake Paradise. gathering mush-
rooms one morning" she said,
"When I heard a crash and snort
behind me. 1 turned, expecting to
see an elephant, and there stood
one of the largest "rhinos'' 1 ever
saw. He was furious. He paved
the ground and swung his wicked
looking head. I knew he was going
to charge, and when a 'rhlno'
charges. he starts something in a
hurry. He doesn't think over the
way the. elephant does. His temper
is too short.
"He started for me ana SCaIGeQ
for a tree. Luckily I reached my
objective before he did. I caught
low branch and swung up. Then
climbed as high as 1 could and sat
there. The "rhino" paved and
snorted around lot, but finally de-
cided he couldn't get me, so he left.
Another day I was coming back
to camp, riding a mule. Suddenly a
'rhino' appeared. He and the mule
saw each other at the same time,
and both bolted along the trail. The
'rhino' and the mule, both fright
ened, raced side by side along that
narrow trail, with me clinging on
for dear life. Finally the 'rhino
OUTRAGED the mule and disappeared;
so I was saved. But it was thrilling"

NEW REVUE
BOOKED HERE

Indianapolis for once has the
jump on New York. For the first
time in the ken of local theatrical
historians a big Winter Garden
revue will be presented in this city
before Manhattan is RECALLED with its
Rabelaisian jovialities and opulent
SpectacleS.
Gay Paree" will be seen at the
English for three night and a
matinee on Saturday, commencing
Thursday, Oct. 10. The show is
destined for the winter Garden
after it's preliminary tour.
In time past it has been the prac-
tice to play the larger musical shows
in points adjacent to New York.
The success of last seasons Gay
Paree" and "a Night in Spain" IN
the central and far west-after corn
ing from New York, caused the
Shuberts to attempt the experiment
of sending the all new Gay Paree''
on tour of few of the country's
leading cities prior to the Manhat-
tan inaugural.
InApresenting the latest Of the
Gay Paree" series the Shuberts
have identified it as az Edition de
Bal DIES Quatre Arts" or in common
U. S.-"Four Arts Ball Edition. "
The subtitle is rather provocative as
signifying kin to that perennial

artists and their models even as to

full whether Senator Norris or anyone
else can touch the solid phalanx of
Smith votes at the election to any
appreciable extent The Norris vote
will be of course in the main the pro-
gressive vote, but it will be added to
from disgruntled Republicans who do
not for certain reasons wish to vote
for Smith and if forced to make a
choice between the two, would stick
to Hoover.
1t would seem as though Farmer

markable fine chance of carrying sew

Shipstead Upsets Hopes.
The decision of Senator Shipstead
to file as a Farmer-Laborite caused
quite a sensation among the Repub-
licans of Minnesota. 1t probably had
a somewhat similar effect among old
party politicians in other states. Among
progressives i'm Minnesota, however,
it caused no surprise as it was plain
to be seen that Senator Shipstead
could do anything else even if he
were disposed to do so. The Senator
was elected on the Farmer-Labor
ticket in 1922. Ninety per cent of his
support came from the organized
Farmer-Labor movement. To those
who intimate otherwise. it is apparent
that they are either not familiar with

Senator Shipstead will unquestion-
ably be re-nominated and reelected
He will face a vigorous opposition in
the general election, but it is difficult
to see how either Burnquist, Nelson
or Rockne. regardless of which one
becomes the Republican nominee, can
hope to defeat the Farmer-Labor SEN
ator To the sophisticated of all pol
itical fates in Minnesota, Shipstead
looks like a cinch running on the
Farmer-Labor ticket.
Olson DisappOintS.
The only disconcerting thing that
has happened to Farmer-Laborites in
Minnesota recently is the failure Of
Floyd B. Olson, Farmer-Labor en-
dorsee, to file for the gubernatorial
nomination. Mr.. Olson is a strong
candidate and it is generally believed
that if he should be nominated he
would be elected. Mr.. Olson has made
a most excellent prosecuting attorney
and has a standing in Hennepin coun-
ty greater perhaps than any other
man. regardless of political affiliation.

FIRST ENTRIES IN
FOR CARLOAD CONTEST
Eight Received by w. E. Morris
In Baby Beef Competition;
This is Fourth Annual Event
of Kind.

Eight entries have already been re-
ceived by w. e. Morris, livestock
specialist University Farm, for the
fourth annual Minnesota carload baby
beef contest which, when started in
1925 by the agricultural extension
service of the University, was the
first competition of the kind in this
country. Seven of the eight entries
have been made by cattle feeders Of
Redwood county. While calves of any
beef breed can be enrolled at any time
now, they will not be started on feed
until fall. The contest closes for each
lot when the calves average 40 days
of age, and Is calves constitute car
load. The outlook is for 40 or more
entries, says Mr.. Morris. Some of the
lots~in the third annual contest, with
it's 40 entries from various beef feed
ing districts of the state, will be
weighed up the present month. Others
will not be ready for several months.
Awards are usually announced in Au-
gust.

in the so-called Corn Belt" show a
decrease. Among the states in which
production is decreasing are such
leaders as Iowa and Illinois.
Through the development of early
maturing, frost resisting varieties of
corn it is now possible to grow corn
in Minnesota from the Iowa line to
the Canadian border. Credit is due
the Agricultural college and the ex-
pertinent stations in the state for the
vast amount of research work con-
Quoted along this line.
The northward march of corn in
the United States is one of the sagas
of agriculture. Corn is essentially
a New World product. 1t is native
to the Western Hemisphere, and was
first brought back to the old world
by Columbus on his voyage of dis
covery. We find evidence of its wide
cultivation in the ruins of the Inca
and Aztec civilization in Peru and
other parts of Central and South
America. De Soto on his journey to
the Mississippi river found corn the
main crop of the Indians in Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi.
Even the early Indian had his share
in developing hardy varieties of corn.
From the records of the Puritans in
Massachusetts, we see that corn con-
stituted the chief article of food for
the New England Indians. Here too,
we find the first paid agricultural
agent in America. An Indian named

Things About Minnesota
You May Not Know

Progress in the future can be
measured by the progress in the past.
Apply this axiom to Minnesota agri-
culture and the problem of the future
is at least partially answered. In the
galaxy of states, Minnesota, compare
lively, is scarcely out of its child
hood. Considering that in 1S49, only
70 years ago, Minnesota was first or
ganized as territory and nine years
later. in 1858, was admitted as state,
its progress as commonwealth is all
the more astounding.
Taking the history of agriculture
alone, we find that in 1S49, there were
virtually no farms. There were a few
garden plots, and one or two small
tracts under cultivation such as the
one at Fort Smelling, but there was
none as yet who had come to Mime
sofa to make a business of farming
At that time, Minnesota was primarily
fur trading state and all tilling of
the soil was supplementary.
Influx Begins.
Immediately after 1S49. the great
influx of agricultural population be-
gan. They came from New England,
from Mountainous Vermont and rug
ged Maine. From the level stretches
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Many
more came from the Scandinavian
peninsula, Central Europe and the
British Isles. Up the river they came
by steamboat and over land by OK
team, carrying their families and
simple agricultural implements with
them. From the head of navigation
they spread fan-wise over the state,
taking claims or buying low-priced
land on Minnesota's virginia. prairies,
until by 1870, twenty-one years later,
we find 46,5OO farms under cultivation.
Minnesota as an agricultural state
still is continuing it's healthy devel-
opment. Today we have four times
as many farms under cultivation as
in 1870, with the number totaling
more than $4,000. On these farms
there are 3O,OOO,OOO acres suitable for
agricultural purposes, and in 1927
this land produced land crops valued
at $325,OOO,OOO. Since 1920, Mime
sofa has come from 18th place among
all states for valuation of these land
crops to eighth place.
Credit Diyersificati0n.
In a large measure, Minnesota's
high place among agricultural states
is due to the production of butterfat
and poultry products, which amounted
to $175,O00,000 and $75,000,0O0 re-
spectively, last year. Adding to this
the value of livestock and other pro-

Squanto was employed by the Puritans
to teach them the art of corn cult
vation. Squanto's method was simple.
1t consisted of planting a few grains
of maize in a hill with three herring
for fertilizer.
AS a modern crop, corn is one of
the most valuable food plants in the
world and is eaten by more people
than any other grain with the excep-
tion of rice. The use of corn as a
food is almost universal.
Economically it is more important
than any other New World crop.
Minnesota ranks sixth in the United
States in the production of corn. The
average annual acreage of corn within
the state is about four and one-half
million. The product of this land
approximates $1OO,OO0,O0O in cash
value annually.
While production per acre for corn
in Minnesota is not quite as high as
some of the corn belt" states, pro-
duction is extremely constant. For a
period of almost 20 years, there has
been a variation of one bushel per
acre. For the period of 1909-13 pro-
duction was 35.1 bushels per acre,
and 1870, 34.1 bushels per acre;
and 1926, 34.6 bushels per acre.
The history of corn in Minnesota
has been essentially the history of
the state itself.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-05-10

ducts we find that MinnesOta's annual
agricultural production reaches more
than half billion dollars. sie&
With all this great agricultural
progress in the state since it's infancy,
there still is plenty of room to go fur
ther Greater yields per acre, greater
production of butterfat per cow, more
eggs per hen, and more pork for each
bushel of corn, will make it possible
for Minnesota to assume the deficiency
of production of other sections of the
United States where the march of in
dustry is gradually absorbing the
tillable land, and to do more than its
share in feeding the steadily increas
ing population.
Minnesota during the past two de-
cades has taken a place among the
leading corn producing states of the
nation.
Much of this development is due
to the northward march of corn as
staple product. 1t is only COM
paratively short time that it was
thought possible to grow corn in any
quantity within the boundaries of this
state. In 1879 there were but 43S,-
1877 acres under cultivation; in 1889,
901, 500 acres. 1t was only after 1899
that the real increases began. In
that year 1,441,5SO acres were plant
ed and for the ten year periods end
ing in 1909 and 1919 the acreage
was 2,004,06S and 2,3SO,S3S respec-
lively.
Corn acreage has shown steady
increase in Minnesota from 1879 to
the present date, while other states

ANY attempt to name the most

There's nc doubt but what the
