their findings and showed that the
committee had taken their job seri-
ously and actually done much work in
this particular line. They had both
facts and figures, and their efforts
will very likely pave the way for the
construction of such a factory here.
The committee was instructed to pro-

They are working out definite plan
of procedure and it is very likely
that house to house canvas will be
made by farmers appointed for that
purpose in different parts of the COM
munity to ascertain exactly what the
sentiment on this project is through
out the whole community. And if the
sentiment is favorable then the project
will be pushed through so that the

The election of officers for the en-
suing year for the Club resulted in
the reelection of the present board
which is AS follows: And. j. Larsen,
president; Hans Nicholson, vice presi-
dent; Svend Petersen, secretary; H. C.
Hansen, (village) treasurer; Otto Mad
sen, director.
After the meeting adjourned there
there was much favorable and enthu-
sisastic discussion for the building Of
the canning factory and many signed
their names to list showing their
sentiment for it.

DR.. w. A. Billings, a specialist from
the extension division also, told the
visitors that the best thing to do with
sick chicken was to wiring it's neck
and get rid of it, as a protection to
the flock. DR.. Billings, however, de-
voted most of his time to turkey-rais-
ing, which, he said, could be carried
on successfully by the Minnesota
plan" This plan, he said, required
that turkeys be raised entirely apart
from chickens. Turkeys must not be
allowed to run with chickens or at
large, as has been the custom under
old methods. The Minnesota plan, in
BRIEF is to keep about II or Is hens
and two toms for the first year; start
feeding the breeding flock for egg
production about January 1; confine
the breeders in yard about so feet
wide and 200 feet long; keep the eggs
not over 10 days or two weeks and
hatch them in incubators; use brood
err house for the young turkeys and
place the house some 200 yards from
the farm buildings. This plan, said
DR.. Billings, has been tried again
and again and has been successful.
A demonstration in feeding dairy
cattle, by Kenneth Hanks of Winnie
bago, Faribault county, and Magnus
Christensen of Hills, Rock county,
two former dairy calf club boys, now
students at the School of Agriculture,
University Farm, st. Paul, was the
next feature. The boys told, with
figures on a blackboard, how to feed
a dairy COW to maintain her health
and to bring the largest possible pro-
ductiOn, according to the cows ca
pacity to produce.
This talk was followed by talk
by H. R. Searles, the well known dairy
specialist of the extension division at
University Farm, st. Paul. Mr.. Searles
exhibited four COWS on a platform car
near the center of the train. One of
these cows, Duchess, was good COW,
and under good feeding in tests had
produced 442 pounds of butterfat in
a year. Another COW, Mary, poor
cow, under good feeding had produced
only 179 pounds of butterfat Still an
other, Rose, a good COW, had produced
with poor feeding 246 pounds of but
terfat year. The fourth COW, Tomtit,
with poor feeding had produced only
about 1875 pounds. The lesson drawn
by Mr.. Searles was that good cows,
with capacity to produce we'll, when
fed well, were profitable producers,
but that poor stock, even with good
feeding, could not make profits for
the owners. He said that the two
things necessary to success in dairy
ing were good stock, comfortable
cows, and efficient feeding.
Another demonstration was in the

duction for domestic type has been
likewise reduced to 256,1OO TONS Most
of the decrease during September was
in New York and Wisconsin,, the two

shipping early cabbage expect a to-
tai of $4,000 acres the coming season,

COMMUNITY CLUB

mitteeS Make Interesting Re-
pOrtS.-Elect Officers.

The regular October meeting of the
Askov Community club was held Mon
day evening in the d. B. S. Hall and
drew an attendance of about $50 peo-
pie.
The minutes from the April meet
ing as we'll as board meetings were
read by the secretary and approved.
Same showed considerable activity.
Hjalmar Petersen, member of the
road committee, reported on the &C
tivities of that body, which showed
that their work so far had been CEN
tered on improving a road coming to
Askov from the east. The business
toward this improvement and as the
road is now completed it was ordered
to turn over the money to the proper
officials. There was some discussion
relative to much needed improvements
on the two miles of road commencing
at point two miles south of Askov
and running due south to the Danforth
road; the committee will boost for
this at the proper time. Other road
improvements were discussed and eX-
planned.
report of the building of the road
to High Landing was given and re-
vealed that owing to the fact that
this stretch was entirely covered with
hardwood brush it had been imposs-
ible to make the road this year. 1t
has been cleared and the brush is
piled and ready to burn. 1t is planned
to seed it down with cloversnext year
and cut the second growth of brush,
giving the hardwood roots a chance
to die and rot, and then grade up
the road the following year. Finlay-
son township has appropriated $50
toward the construction of this road,
but that amount will not be asked for
until the road is entirely completed.
There is only three-fOurths of a mile
of road to build on the other side of
the river in order to give a direct D.
mile line to the pavement on No. 1,
when the road is built on the other
side of the river efforts will be made
to secure bridge at this point.
ASkOv.SandStOne Fair Successful,
The Askov Fair Committee, al
though an independent organization,
gave their annual report at the COM
munity meeting, which showed that
the fair in Askov this year was well
attended and a success. There had
been paid out for prizes something
over $3.50; and this with other ex-
penses and operations made a total ex-
penditure of little over $500. The
receipts from concessions and stands
conducted by the board together with
donations from the business organi-
cations and others interested totaled
about SIS less than the expenditures
leaving that much of a deficit. An
election by ballot of committee of
five for the next two years resulted
in the selection of the following: Louis
Olsen, Svend Petersen, A. P. Jensen.
And. j. Larsen and Mrs. Hjalmar
Petersen, the first three being re-elec-

margin. The Associated Press score

Michigan, tied with Wisconsin and
Purdue for first place, was the only
team among the leaders to be reason

lost six straight games and appar-
emily will be easy for George Veen-

idle since Jan. 81. Northwestern has
developed into the most sensational
team In the race. After dropping
their first three games, the Wildcats
have come back with such q rush
that they have won four straight
conference games, including that with
Michigan last Monday night. To-
night, the Wildcats will have their
star center. "Rut" Walter, who has
been out for several weeks with an
injured knee, and II Stretch" MUIR
ply and his mates win they will be
forced to the limit.

out Of the race, but have been con-
siderably strengthened by the return
