WARNS OF FAKE" AGENT

Mike Holm, secretary of state
Tuesday, issued a warning to mer-
chants and others that his office is
not in the advertising business and
that an advertising solicitor, repre-.
senting himself as being from his
office is doing so witout his authori-
ty.
The solicitor, Mr.. Holm said he
was informed by merchants who have
been approached, is selling advertis.
ing space alongside tourist map of
the state. Several merchants who
have been suspicious, have called Mr..
Holm for verification.
"This office is in no way connected
with any advertising enterprise and
any solicitor making that claim is
making false representation" Mr..
Holm said. II would like to have ev-
cry merchant approached by solicit
ors who represent themselves as be-
ing from this office get in touch with
me SO that l can locate the false
agents, if possible and bring them to
justice"

"E. A.~Qaule reports that he had
harvested 60 acres of barley and 160
acres of winter wheat on Tuesday of
this week with his new combine har-
vester-thresher. And the grain is all
in the elevator. Obert Quale and
Elwyn Loken, who have been operat-
ing the thresher and tractor that
draws it, report an average run of
40 acres per day.
"Quale has aver 500 acres that
must be harvested with the one
machine, so it is kept going at full
speed every day, Sunday and Monday
alike. You can tell the world says
Mr.. Quale, that it's the slickest piece
of harvesting machinery ever inven-
ted"

STORAGE OUTLOOK FOR
WHEAT APPEARS BRIGHT

Circumstances indicate that it may
be good judgment to be deliberate
In marketing wheat this year, since
indications for big crop are steadily
growing less, according to Andrew
Boss, vice-director of the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment station and
widely known authority on North
west problems.
Continued drought throughout the
Dakotas, Montana, and the Canadian
provinces has seriously diminished
the chances for high yields, Mr.. Boss
says. Recent advices indicate that
favored localities may secure spring
wheat yields of eight to ten bushels
per acre, but in many others the
yields will not exceed five bushels.
Grain prices have been unsteady
but are increasing and farmers who
can provide storage would probably
do well to hold their grain until
market indications are more clearly
defined. There is little prospect,
that prices will go lower and if the
dry hot weather continues into Aug
ust, may go considerably higher.
Farmers lacking granaries or 9TH
er storage facilities may find it de-
slrable to use moderate priced metal
storage tanks now on the market or
resort to the old-fashioned custom of
building temporary bins of fence rails
lined with straw. A newer idea is
that OF making bins of two by. six
planks, merely cribbing them up
with two inch spaces between, with
out mailing. The weight of the wheat
or grain will hold the planks in place,
say advocates of this plan.

MOTHER AND FAMILY
DEPART HURRIEDLY
WHEN LAW BECKONS

Things had been drifting along for
several years in an unsatisfactory
manner in the William Knutson fami.
lily, at Montevideo with Mr.. Knutson
mot making much money, Mrs. Knut-
son not being able to manage WELL
and the children not getting the pro.
per attention. The Sunshine Society,
the Railway Women's Club, the coun-
ty and others had been helping them,
but the situation did not seem to i'm
prove.
Then last week, their difficulties in
creased, when a warrant was sworn
out charging Mrs. Knutson with sale
of intoxicating liquor. She was to ap-
pear in municipal court before Judge
&c. D. Bensel Friday morning. A COM
plaint charging that the children were
NEGLECTED minors was to be aired in
Juvenile court before Judge John w.
Peterson at the same time as their
another was to appear in municipal
court.
1t was too much for Mrs. Knutson.
When the authorities asked Mr.. Knut-
son why she and the children had not
appeared in court, as per schedule, he
handed them a note, scrawled in pen
ell on a sheet of note paper, addressed
TO him, and signed with love, Emma
Knutson." The note, hastily written
and poorly spelled, said many things,
among them that her "rich cousin
from Canada" had sent for her and
the children and she had gone to live
with him. She couldn't stand it any
longer, she said, with everyone stick
ing their noses into her business" and
she was not coming back.-The Mon

EXPERTS WILL EXPLAIN
CORN BREEDING SECRETS

How plant breeders at the Min
nesota Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton assist nature characteristics of
corn and other field crops, thereby
building up better yielding, earlier
maturing varieties that are NOSE re-
sistant to disease will be revealed to
farmers who attend the Corn Field
Day at University Farm, st. Paul,
Wednesday, August Ia. The event
will be the annual midsummer meet
ing and field day of the Minnesota
Crop Improvement association. Any
one interested may come.
Special attention will be given to
the new method of corn breeding
known as hybridization by which
lines of corn are inbred for many
generations and then crossed to pro-
duce synethic varieties which COM
bine only the better qualities of the
inbred lines or parent strains. Three
crosses, adapted to central and south
ern Minnesota, are being made at
University Farm this year for dis
trlbution to farmers next fall.
Farmers who attend the Corn Field
Day will be shown these double
crosses, as well as other new varie-
ties in the making in the breeding
plots. They will see a yield test of
the standard varieties and hundreds
of crosses, thousands of SEIZED or
inbred lines of dents, f1ints, sweets,
and pop corn, and numerous studies
dealing with disease resistance.

ARMY WORMS FOUND
ON SLEEPY EYE FARM

The first report to the County
Agents office of army worms work
ing in a mass comes from Mike Huir-
as at Sleepy Eye. When discovered
the worms had already advanced
upon several fields of grain and a
large percentage of the heads of
grain had already been cut off.
Mr.. Huiras cut the grain as quick
ly as possible after the attack, but
not without considerable loss. Since
the grain is, being taken from the
worms, the question is on what will
they direct their next attack. While
they like grass plants best in their
menu, some nearby flax, corn and al
falfa may be next to be devoured.
The worms apparently were hatch
ed in some heavy grass, and they
increased in number with such rapid
ity that they had to travel to find
food. The worms could have been
controlled easily had the discovery
been made sooner.
Mr.. Huiras is trying to check the
advance by blowing around the field,
as the worms have considerable diff
ficulty in crawling over a .farrow
and party filled with water and oil
would kill them. The worms crave
wet bran mash sweetened with black
strap molasses, which can be poison
ed and the insects killed. This mix
ture placed out towards evening as
the worms are active only mainly
when the burning sun is not out, des-
troys many.-Sleepy Eye Herald-Dis-
