Grain Cutting to Avoid
Rust Not Sound Practice
Experiments at the State Farm
Do Not Justify Course Ex-
perts Decide

Practice of many farmers of the
northern border states, of harvest
ing their crops of wheat and oats
in an immature state as means Of
outwitting black stem rust, is not
found to be sound practice, if ex-
periments carried on by the Min
nesota Agricultural Experiment
Station are conclusive.
A study of the effects of harvest
ing wheat and oats at different
stages of maturity was made by
the Minnesota station and the re-
suits just completed by H. K. Will
son and S. M. Raleigh. Their re-
port said in summary. There ap-
pears to be no more justification
for premature harvesting during
the rust epidemics than during
years when no epidemic is pres
emit"
Experiment were carried on upon
a series of plats of both wheat and
oats sown on May 2. Harvesting
of these began 13 days before ma
turity for the wheat, and II days
before maturity for the oats. Rust
was prevalent at the time. The
yield of Marquis wheat and of Vic.
tory oats increased from the time
the grain was in the milk stage
until shortly before maturity
There appeared, therefore, they
found, to be no advantage in pre-
mature harvesting or rust infected
areas.

Petrol Tin Invaluable
to Rhodesian Settler

One Of the most generally used
articles in the rural homes of Rho
desia is the petrol tin. Petrol and
coal oil are sold in most parts of
Africa in tins containing four gal
Ions apiece. These tins are the
settlers best friends, for he puts
them to a hundred uses. In Rho
desia, tins are sawn asunder with
a can opener, beaten fiat and used
as rain-proof roofs for small sheds
and lean-tos. With little manipu-
lation settler will make gutter
ing, and some spouting may be
made from them to carry precious
rain water from roof to water tank.
With holes punched In the sides
and few blazing logs within the
tin, the settler has an excellent
brazier by which he may smoke his
pipe and read his month-old news
on bitter July nights. He fits tin
into loose cage of mosquito wire
netting and fills the space between
with charcoal which he keeps wet.
Behold his dairy safe, where his
butter will not turn to oil nor his
jug Of milk sour in the torrid No
vember days. From tin he makes
camp oven for the Sunday roast.
In it his bread and cereals are
stored from insect pests.

Sank Centre Will Be On
Pan-American Motor Route
Naming One Highway to Exclu-
sion of Others Opposed by
State Highway Officials

Minnesota may have two or
three "Pan-American" highways
before very many years. but there
will be no single route designated
as "The-American highway" if the
American Association of State
Highway Officials has anything
to say about it. At the recent
convention of the association
resolutions were unanimously
adopted favoring the designation
of all such highways by number.
The association is cooperating
with Mexico and Canada in de-
veloping connecting routes between
the North America countries, but
since several of the roads being
built in Mexico connect with U. S.
numbered routes which run to the
Canadian border, it was felt that
no one route should be designated
as The" Pan-American highway
to the exclusion of others.
Although none of the U. S. num-
bered routes in Minnesota touches
Mexico, the three which connect
with Canada, U. S. Nos. 81, II and
rs, all run to the Gulf of Mexico,
and all of them connect with the
routes leading to Mexico, which
will connect with Central and
South American highways when

Narrow Bridges Call for
Caution of all Motorist.
Law Against Whipping Trailers
Also Emphasized in State
Highway Bulletin

Be careful when crossing mar
row bridges, is the warning sound
ed in a State Highway bulletin.
Last week large trailer struck
one of the supporting members
in the truss of a sixteen foot
bridge on T. H. No. IL near Gran
ite Falls. This caused a collapse
of the bridge, necessitating the
building of new structure. Both
the truck and the trailer were
badly damaged, and passenger
car which met the truck just as
the trailer hit the bridge support,
was also caught in the wreckage
and badly damaged.
The bridge was one which was
built before the state took over
the trunk highways. The col
lapse of the bridge will necessitate
detouring traffic for several weeks.
There are a number of the older
bridges in the highway system
which are narrower than present
standards, and all drivers are
warned to use caution in cross
ing such structures.

|Deplorable Conditions Said
to Exist Among Indians
Mrs. TheO. ChristiansOn Heads
State Wide Compaign for
Substantial Relief

st. Paul, Dec. ia story of in
tense suffering from lack of food,
illness and unemployment among
many Minnesota Indians is told in
a report of the findings of the state
advisory council on Indian af-
fairs made public today.
Announcement of the report fol-
lows the opening of a campaign
headed by Mrs. Theodore Chris
Hanson, for relief of the Indians,
chiefly in the Cass Lake district.
Public donations are being receiv-
ed at the state capitol.
Information contained in the adj
visory councils report was OBJ
tanned thru investigation of the
state board of control, representa-
tive Harriet Weeks and Senator
Peter Sharpe.
Immediate aid is recommended
to prevent Indians from starving,
the report says.
Failure of the garden crops, a
small BURBERRY crop, low water
which reduced the wild rice crop,
and lack of employment are among
causes which have resulted in
such deplorable conditions accord
ing to the councils findings.
The investigating committee
found many children who wore
clothing and sometimes no shoes.
Homes, most of them mere shelf
ers, were inadequately heated be-
cause of lack of fuel.
Lack of food is causing many
Indian children to be absent from
school. Some instances of near
starvation of families was found

Sneezing Superstition

Ancient rabbinistic tradition as
serts that from the time of Adam
to Jacob sneezing was a sign Of
death. Jacob thought long on
these things. He finally went into
prayer for repeal of the law. So
successful was he in his petition
that the phenomenon of sneezing
ceased to be a sign of death and
became an infallible sign of life.
After Jacobs day, when children
came into the world, they an
nounced their arrival by sneezing.
So that when the son of the Shuna-
mite was called to life by the pow
er of Elisha. 1.-THE child sneezed

by Terror.Ridden Cats

Two stories from Paris tell of
two cats, each of whom burned a
house down. From Montbefiard, In

which, in the absence of its mis-
tress, crawled up on the mantel-
piece to reach a chunk of meat
that hung above. 1t lost its footing
and fell into the fire. Crazed with
fright and pain it streaked out of
the window and to its usual haunt,
the granary. Its blazing fur set
fire to the building, which burned
to the ground. The other tale came
from Lorient on the west coast.
There a cat had been plagued by
two small girls, who had been left
at home alone. The elder of the
two snatched a coal from the fire.

The animal rushed from the room
into the adjoining bedroom and
leaped into the bedclothes. When
the resulting blaze was finally per-
ceived by the girls 1t had grown
to overwhelming proportions. The
girls rushed out of the house and
the building was burned down.

Total .-.....-.-..-..-..-...--$372, O60, zoo
With an increase of per cent
in 1880, the total cost of keeping
Minnesota cars and trucks going
will be $290,0O0,0O0. c. M. Babcock,
commissioner Of highways. points
out that the license taxes and the
two thirds of the gas tax going in
to the trunk highway fund, are less
than 5 per cent of the total motor
outlay, while the sum of all the
road taxes license, gas, state aid,
county and township levies-is
only ten per cent of the total mot
or vehicle bill.
Both our vehicle OUTLAWS and
our road OUTLAWS are growing every
year, but the ratio seems to stay
the same" Mr.. Babcock says. "The
only thing which is decreasing is
the cost per vehicle mile and that
has been cut very materially in the
last few years. It will be further
reduced if highway improvements
can be speeded up so that we can
keep up with traffic demands. Ev-
cry dollar spent for better high
ways will save several dollars in
car operating costs"
