Sen. Holbrook said the governor
has agreed to call the session, If it
Is desired by members.
Rep. Dewey Young of Wellington,
co-author of the regular session
Young Turner prison bill, had his
measure ready for resubmiSsion
Wednesday. He abandons his for
mer requirement that the prison
plant be located on the Ramsey or
Darlington farms near Houston. 1t
authorizes the relocation on any
present prison lands, and provides
that II additional or other land is
required for the new site, the loca-
ton may be made when approved
by the legislature.
The proposed parole law, which
bears the signature Of Sen. Julien
Hyer of Fort Worth, would for the
first time in Texas make the in
determinate sentence law helpful to
the convict. It would provide a con-
vict should be released, in case his
conduct in prison had been good,
at the minimum sentence. Now u
pardon OF parole Is required to be
issued by the governor for a pris-
oner to be freed short of his maxi
mum sentence.
The parole law would make all
convicts eligible for parole after
one-third their sentence had been
served, If they had maintained good
records.
Reduce Pen Population
It would greatly shorten the
terms of prisoners by communication
credits for good conduct and for
overtime. 1t would give the par
don board much greater latitude in
recommending clemency. and holo
out some sort of assurance to the
prisoner that if he behaved himself
he would find the prison doors open
much sooner than the full length
Of his sentence.
The practical effect of this law
would be to reduce the prison pop
ulation considerably.
At present. the system is So
crowded, with guards watching
over nearly twice the number
which can safely be guarded per
man. that escapes and breaks are
OF almost daily occurrence. Con-
victS are prohibited from reading
newspapers because of the prevail
ence Of accounts of escapes from
the Huntsville walls and the farms
The recent escape of j. r. Silver
and others had a very impressive
effect upon authorities in asking
for remedial legislation, both in
reorganization and improvement OF
the system, and in so dealing with
the convicts on lesser sentences as
to cut down the prison population

and captured The payroll money
that they were trying to get away
with amounted to several thousand
dollars. The detectives who outgen-
eraled the bandits, laying in wait for
them in the office of the Pure Oil

Attendance Less Than i'm 1923, but
Livestock and Educational
Exhibits are Better.

The SEVENTEEN annual Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Livestock
Show which closed Saturday night is
now history and with it into the pages
of the history of preceding fairs in
Minnesota goes a new record for live
stock and educational exhibits for flu

cattle, sheep and swine exhibits were
best since the National Dairy Show
in 1921. Although the weather was
too hot the early part of the week,
and rain kept many visitors away dur
ing the latter part of the show, the
attendance was 433,26S or only about
10000 less than in 1928. The attend
ance by days was as follows:
Friday, Aug. 30 Preparation Day.,

Denmark, were gathered at a meeting
in New York short time ago to dis
cuss what might be properly done to
mark the one hundredth anniversary
of the Polytechnical Institute of Co

have now notified the Institute that
they have taken steps toward collect

tariff rates in the fond belief that
Federal Farm Board will do more for
the agriculturists than tariff wrang-
ling. The feeling prevails that once
Congress realizes that the country is
not following the tariff debates then
the measure will be quickly passed
and sent to the President for his sig
nature.
A digest of reliable reports from
those same impartial observers throws
wet blanket over the enthusiasm of
Congress. The travellers say that in
the west where the public land states
are located the local civic and politi-
cal leaders direct their comment to
the Administrators public land poll
cies. In the south it is reported that
the most absorbing Washington topic
is the so-called DePriest incident in
which the first Lady of the Land in
cluded among her guests the wife of
the only negro congressman. Here
and there Washingtonians are quizzed
as to the Curtis-Gann social preced-
ence matter. Occasionally, some bust
ness men inquire as to the possibil-
tiles of tariff law, but the other
topics outrank by far the questions in
which Senators and Representatives
have personal interest. Legislators
do not regard it as a healthy sign
when they share second-rate positions

Corn, Oats and Tame Hay Are
Three Leading Crops of
Minnesota.

Minnesota, few years ago believed
to be in latitude well outside the
corn belt, has developed the cultiva-
ton of this important product to
where it now leads all other farm
crops in value.
Information concerning Minnesota's
crops is given in the new agricultural
book of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota association.
Corn, which in 1900 was valued at
100000, has increased in acreage
and value until the 1928 crop was
worth SIS, 437 900. Second in value
among the great grain crops of Min
worth S4S,197 200. Tame hay is the
third crop in value being worth $43,-
$4,000 annually. Barley produced by
Minnesota farmers last year brought
S29.308,000: potatoes were worth S19,-
SIT 900; spring wheat 9,SSS,00 win
ter wheat S13.616,000; wild hay ST.
521 900: flax $14,O99,OOO: rye $685.
600; cloverseed $2,4SO,OOO; buckwheat
81, 235,0O0; apples S1,196,OOO; all other
crops S35,S71 900
Although wheat raising in Mime
sofa has gradually given way for di-
versified farming, the state retains SUI
premacy as the greatest flour milling
region on earth Scattered through
out the state are 200 mills which pro-
duce more than twenty million bar
rels of flour annually.
Minnesota has also assumed leader
ship i'm building flax crushers and
now has linseed mills with the great
est capacity on earth. The state is
second in the nation i'm the production
of flax.
Minnesota now leads all states in
the production of potatoes for table
use. Because of excellent soil and
climatic conditions, disease-free pota-
toes of great virility are grown in
every section of the state. These are
sold for seed in nearly all parts of
the United States and command good
prices.

II NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION ytciN

Washington, September 11.-Ques-
tions of political strategy have been
uppermost in the private discussions
that have accompanied the reorgan-
ization meeting of the Republican
National Committee This committee
constitutes a national board of direc-
tors for their particular party. One
of the major detectives of the G. o. P.
committee is to retain control of
Congress. The elections due next
year require considerable preliminary
activity. 1t is noteworthy that a wide
difference of opinion exists among the
various leaders as to the issues"
Some of the veteran leaders occupy
ing high office are hopeful that the
tariff will be shelved as partisan
issue by 1880. On the other hand,
leaders. coming from Congressional
districts vitality affected by tariff leg
islation insist that the tariff should
be featured as campaign issue.
Much will depend on the disposition
of the tariff by the Senate. The de-
bate which signaled the consideration
of the new tariff measure in the Sen
ate indicates prolonged and bitter con-
trOversy. Trained observers return
ing to Washington after months of
travel say that the country as whole
is not particularly interested in the
tariff fight. 1t is reported that even

GETTING ROADS
IN BETTER SHAPE
County Highway Engineer Instructs
PatrOlmen on State Aid Roads
as to What is to be Done.

Leveling off the roads, cleaning out
the culverts> and cutting the brush
alongside of the roads before winter
sets in are the principal instructions
given to patrolmen on all state aid
roads in Pine county in circular
letter sent out a few days ago by H.
V. Jorgensen, county highway engi-
neer, at Pine City
The letter to the patrolmen which is
also of interest to all users of the
highways, reads as follows:
Il. Keeping the road smooth after
fall rains, thereby preventing ruts to
form and soft holes which would soon
absorb lots of moisture, and tend to
cause frost holes in the spring. When
leveling is not necessary, to fill holes
which have formed, which filling will
strengthen the road during the spring
breakup. Fill all washouts now, for
if same are left, the melting snow in
the spring will soon make them larger
and cost much more to repair.
'2. Before freezing up, to reshape
your road, as the surface can easily
be worked, give your road a crown Of
4 to inches, depending upon the
type. This will allow the water to
run off more freely, thereby prevent
ing all moisture to sink in and make
the road bed soft and help to start
frost holes.
80. To inspect all culyerts and
other drains, cleaning same of all OBJ
structions, so that the spring rains
and melting snow can quickly get
away from the road bed, not standing
around in puddles softening the road
bed. Clean out all bitches and cut
off ridges along the shoulders in order
to allow the water to get away into
drain bitches where same belongs.
a. To cut all brush on improved
roads from fence to fence and on I'M
improved roads all brush which tends
to permit snow to drift or which pre-
vents the sun from thawing out the
roadbed in the spring. Since the
county intends to clear all brush,
believe that people living along state
aid roads should cooperate and cut
from within the fence, thereby pre-
venting many snow drifts and making
travel bit better. Town boards
should instruct their road overseers
along these lines, and l am sure they
would benefit in lots of places
I'm brief, fall maintenance is of
even greater Importance than spring
maintenance, as many places can now
be repaired and improved by filling
weaker spots and effecting adequate
drainage, which l am sure will tend
to make spring maintenance easier
and reduce costs considerably"
