EARLY OR LATE HOURS
FOR BABY'S SUNBATH

Sunbaths are popular, but mothers
are concerned about the possible,
effect of sunlight on the eyes of
baby taking them, says Inez Hobart,
nutrition specialist with the agricul-
tural extension service, University of
Minnesota.
The National Society for Proven
ton of Blindness asked the advice of
several eye specialists and pediatri-
clans in regard to this problem, and
none of these authorities had seen a
baby's eyes permanently damaged by
exposure to the sun.
All of the specialists advise that
the same precautions be taken to
prevent too rapid burning of the skin
and tissues of eyes as with other
parts of the body.
During midsummer sunb h S
should be given before 10 a. m. or af-
ter p. m,." says Miss Hobart. eff
the child's feet are directed away
from the sun the rays of sunlight
will not pass directly through the
pupil to the center of the retina, the
part of the eyeball concerned with
sharp vision.
GAS a rue the baby more than la
month old will close the eyes if the
Fight is too strong. The health value
of the sunlight bath far outweighs
any possible danger to eyes or Wis
ion."

MANY new CARS BUT
AVERAGE TAX Less
Fifteen Cent Cut in License Fee
Means 4 Miles Less
I Paving

Up to June LIST this year, 658, 229
cars had been registered in Minneso-
ia. They had paid total of $9,972,-
282 in license fees. In 1928, 613,-
667 cars were registered before June
LIST, and license receipts were $780,
$50. In other words, there are A.
562 more cars registered and receipts
are $669,232 greater. At first glance
one would thing that the trunk high
ways is just that much better off.
But 44,562 cars tearing up the
highways means that much more
maintenance expense. It also means
that some roads which were adequate
to the traffic of 1928 will not be ade-
quate to this years traffic burden.
Analysis of the figures also show
that the average pair of auto tags
issued this year cost $15.01, while
last year at this time the average
was $15.16. The decrease is due
mostly to the lower average price of
cars.
Fifteen cents less does not mean
much to the average license buyer,
but on 658,00 cars it means nearly
100000. Translated into highway
construction it means four miles less
of 20 foot pavement this year.

HEAVY PRODUCING COWS
ON GRASS NEED GRAIN

Cows producing more than Is or 80
pounds of milk daily should receive
some grain even though pastures are
abundant, according to E. A. Hanson,
dairy specialist of the agriculture ex-
tension service, University of Mime
sofa. Although cows frequently pro-
duce so pounds of milk or more day
from pasture alone, they usually do
so by robbing their own bodies which
is followed by a rapid decline in milk
flow. It is a short-sighted policy to
allow good cows to overwork them
selves in this fashion, says Mr.. Han
son.
Cows producing heavily during the
early pasture season may not show
any increase in output as a result of
additional feed, but such feeding will
helpto maintain their producing abb
lily throughout the season, particul-
arly during the lean pasture months
Of July, August and September.
From study of $50 herds in Mime
sofa cow testingassociations, it was
found that $50 herds, which were fed
some grain or roughage in addition
to pasture, yielded 40 pounds more
butterfat annually and $1,000 greater
net profits per cow than those given
pasture only.
What to feed is not so serious
problem in summer, since grass pro-
vides plenty of protein and succul.-
ence. Ordinarily, a mixture of COM
mon farm grains such as corn, oats
and barley will prove satisfactory.
This should be fed at the rate of 8
to pounds daily for cows producing
20 to 20 pounds milk, or about 6 to
pounds for cows yielding 80 to 40
pounds.
The above amounts apply when
pastures become dry, some succul-
ence such as silage, green corn or al
falfa should be given along with the
grain for best results. Such a pro-
gram of feeding will not only MAIN
tain high producing during the sum-
mer, says Mr.. Hanson but will keep
the cows vigorous and in good trim
for profitable winter milking.

BRISK WORK AHEAD FOR
MINNESOTA FARMERS

Minnesota farmers have some
hustling days ahead of them says
DR.. Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota Experiment Station, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, who points
out that the belated spring has held
back farm work so that cultivation
of corn and potatoes will conflict seri-
ously with alfalfa hay making, while
the grain harvest will follow close
on the heels of both.
Fortunately, says DR.. Boss, nature
has provided the longest days Of the
year for this season and the forward
looking farmer will anticipate the
highpressure days ahead and set his
alarm clock little earlier, as well
a sworking somewhat later in the
evening. Hired help is apt to be
scarce and high priced, which means
most farmers will have to depend on
getting their work done with what
ever man power is available on their
own farms.
In DIR. Boss opinion, the opening
of June found the season about a
week late in Minnesota. Hay and
pasture have been slow, but spring
sown field crops are not far behind,
even though seeding was delayed.
Moisture, although adequate up to
June 1, is needed in large amounts
throughout the growing season.
before the middle of the month, and
Southeastern Minnesota has been
somewhat more favored as regards
rainfall than other parts of the state
during the early part of the year.
In view of the interference which
cultivation is likely to suffer from
haying, harvesting and other farm
work, farmers should take special
care to cultivate thoroughly and kill
as many weeds as possible early in
the season, DIR. Boss advises. Fields
that have been well prepared and are
free from weeds will require less
attention and three civilizations for
a clean field may be just as effective
as five for a weedy one.

NEAR DROWNING IN
MINNESOTA RIVER

But for his rare presence Of mind
and the application Of resuscitative
methods, learned as a Boy Scout,
Walter Becker, 18-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. P. A. Becker, of New Ulm
would not have been able to display
the heroism he did on Memorial Day
when he saved the lives of his sister,
Margaret, aged Is years, and Marvin,
13-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Art
hur Zieske of CORTLAND township,
from a watery grave in the Minneso-
ia river.
The group was bathing in the Min
nesota river, about a mile west of
CORTLAND village, on Memorial Day.
1t seems that Margaret and Marvin
lost their bearings and were carried
by the treacherous current for some
distance downstream.
Those on shore became alarmed
when they noticed that the two chill
dren were apparently helpless in mid
stream and when young Becker went
to investigate he found his sister and
Marvin Zieske struggling in some 10
or IL feet of water. The lad caught
hold of his sister, beneath the sur
face of the water, but was unable to
pull her out, because Marvin, in his
fright, had clasped her around the
waist and would not let go.
Diving down under the surface, the
youth caught hold of the drowning
boy, dragging him to shore, while Ell
don Zieske resuced the girl. Both
young people were unconscious when
taken from the stream, and it requir-
ed considerable effort on the part of
young Becker and others to resusci-
tate them. Young Zieske had swal-
lowed considerable water and was
very weak for few days, as a re-
suit of his experience. The expert
ence was indeed a narrow escape for
the two children.

BEDTIME STORIES BY

". BURGESS

presently, Peter went right past Bob
White without seeing him. Bob
chuckled softly and waited until Peter
was some distance off before he whistled
again. OF course, Peter knew at once
that he had gone past. He came hurry
ing back. AS before, Bob White
whistled softly and, as before. it seemed
to Peter to come from greater dis
lance than was really the case. So
once more Peter ran past and once more
Bob White chuckled.
Presently Peter began to lose pa
tience. He suspected that something
wasn't quite right. He didn't suspect
that Bob White was having fun at his
expense, but he did think there vas
something peculiar about that whistle.
When. he listened to it from the dear
Old Briar-patch it had seemed to come
from the same place always. Now he
Could it be that Bob White was run

thumped the ground with his long hind
feet-a way he has of doing when he
is angry or impatient, or wants to signal
some one. He did it now because he
was impatient. Perhaps, without really
knowing it, he was little bit angry.
Bob White heard that thump and he
guessed what it meant. He chuckled

more than ever. He squatted right
down where he was and once more
whistled. All at once Peter turned and
came straight toward Bob. Bob didn't
whistle again just then. Along came
Peter, lipperty- lipperty- lip, looking this
way and looking that way eagerly. 1t
looked for a minute as If he might step
right on Bob White. He didn't, but he
passed very close to him. He passed,
because he didn't see Bob at all, al
though he looked right at him.
How Bob did chuckle inside! He was
having a lot of fun at Peters expense.
He knew just why Peter hadn't seen
him. He had flattened himself down
and had spread his feathers in such a
way that he looked to be a part of his
surroundings. He didn't look like a
handsome, plump quail at all. 1t really
was not surprising that Peter had not
seen him.
Bob waited until Peter was beginning
to wander about aimlessly some dis
lance away. Then once more he began
to whistle, "Bob-Bob White!" This
time Peter sat still for a long time
listening. He was trying to make GER
| tain just where that whistle came from.

Now, at this time, Bob was not sit
ting on the fence post. He was on
lower rail of the fence. 1t was from
this that he could see Peter. Peter
wasn't looking so low down. He was
looking at the posts and the top rails.

ground. Peter was quite near now. Bob
