LIQUOR WATTS USED
AT N. U. RAIDED AGAIN

In the course of an investigation,
following the seizure of huge alco-
hol plant at Sioux City, Iowa, re-
Gently, it was found that the IL iden-
teal mash watts used in the two min
iature alcohol distrilleries raided by
federal operatives in Milford and
Lafayette townships, several months
ago, were being used as part of the
Sioux City equipment. It will be
remembered that six watts, each with
capacity of approximately 5000
gallons, were discovered and confiscat-
ed by the federal men, on each of the
two farms in this vicinity. They
were sold locally, and their trail in
reaching Sioux City plant, is now
being Investigated.
Bonnie Hoefer, alias Bonnie Miller,
of Sioux City, was located there, by
an operative of the Treasury depart
ment, March 9, and subsequently ar
rested by the United States marshall.
Hoefer, who is wanted by federal
authorities for alleged conspiracy
in connection with the "still' found
in Milford township, fought extradition
to Minnesota, and demanded hear
ing which was set for April IL.
Later he waived his formality, and
signifed his willingness to be brought
to this state for trial. Thereupon,
Hoefer was placed under $4,000 bonds
for his appearance in United States
district court at Mankato, next June.

BEWARE OF THE
BARGAIN ALFALFA"

Men who have purchased or who
have contemplated the purchase of the
so called Bargain Alfalfa" should
beware of the foul seed contained
therein.
The following extract comes from
n. j. Holmberg of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture:
''An official test of the so-called
Bargain Alfalfa" seed has been an
alyzed by the State Seed Testing
Laboratory and in accordance to
Chapter 387, Laws of 1927, the re-
suits of the test and other informa-
ton is here given:
The Alfalfa seed was recently
shipped by the Quincy Seed and
Nursery Company, Yankton, S. D.,
to Mr.. Charles Hayek, Porter, yell
low Medicine Co., Mimi. The label
showed only the termination $50
and the purity $3.50. That means
that 95 pounds in each 100 pounds is
alfalfa seed. The laboratory an
alysis at the State Seed Testing Lab
oratory shows the following germ
imation: $40 plus hard seeds, Puri-
ty 91.5; per cent of weed seed 3.75,
including approximately $50 Dodder
seeds per pound of alfalfa. This
would mean $4,000 or more Dodders
per acre or one Dodder seed to each
three of four square feet. There were
also 2.75Ro of the other crop seed in
Guiding 1850 sweet clover seeds
which sell for 10c per pound or less.
That is not the whole story-this
sample contained twenty-five Kinds
of noxious weed seeds.
Minnesota's Pure Seeds Act calls
for labelling of all agricultural seeds
sold in the State and the items re-
quired are those quoted above. Cur
ney Company has avoided labelling
seeds sold into Minnesota and several
tests of samples taken at various
points have tested approximately as
above quoted.

CONTROL WHEAT AND
BARLEY SCAB BY FLOWING
UNDER OLD CORNSTALKS

Wheat and barley scab caused
heavy loses in spring wheat and bar
ley in some of the Corn Belt States
in 1923, particularly in parts Of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. Forum
ately, says the United States of
Agriculture, this area produces only
a comparatively small part of the
barley and spring wheat grown in
this country; but in 1928 this area
produced more than its normal guam
tity of these crops because they were
commonly used to replace winter
killed wheat. Specialists of the Bur-
eau of Plant Industry of the depart
ment state that scab, which has been
known for many years, occurs more
or less commonly each year in the
more humid areas of Europe and
America
Scab is caused by aparasitic fun
gus known by the Latin name Glib
berella stubinetii." This fungus at
tacks not only wheat but also rye,
barley, oats and corn, as well as a
number of wild grasses. One stage
of the fungous parasite occurs on old
cornstalks. When wheat or other
small grain is sown following corn
on land where old stalks remain on
the surface, the fungus is transmit
ted from the old stalks to the heads
of the grain plants and there infects
them. In this way the fungus at
tacks the head at or soon after the
time of blooming. One or more
spikelets of the head may be attack
ed or the entire head may be killed,
depending on weather conditions.
Scab is most severe in seasons when
wet weather occurs at the time the
grain is in bloom or shortly there
after. Rainy weather favors develop
ment of the fungus on the old corn
stalks and it's transfer to the heads
of the small grain.
1t is necessary, therefore, to clean
scabbed grain with strong air blast
and treat it before using for seed.
The grain should be treated with any
of the standard mercury dusts such
as Semesan Jr., Merko, or Ceresan
before sowing. The formaldehyde
seed treatmen will not control the dis
ease on the wheat seedlings. Sow the
dust-treated grain in well-prepared
soil free from crop refuse on the
surface. The dust seed treatments
prevent the killing of the seedlings
and consequent poor stand but will
not prevent head scab at heading
time The infection causing head
scab comes from the old conrstalks
and crop refuse on the surface of the
fields and not from sowing scabbed
seed.
Scab-resistant varieties also are
being developed by specialists of the
Bureau of Plant Industry in co-opera-
ton with State agricultural expert
ment stations. Promising scab-re-
sistant spring wheats are such var
ieties as Norka, Progress, Resaca,
and Illinois No. l. Oderbrucker and
Manchuria barley also are fairly re-
sistant ia sacb.
Wheat and barley scab may be
adequately controlled (D by blowing
under old cornstalks on the surface
of the land, or by using other than
corn land for spring wheat and bar
ley, (2) by using adapted, resistant
varieties, and (3) treating the we'll
cleaned seed with one of the standard
mercury dust diSinfectantS.

BEDTIME STORIES By Y. 1 aHEcEsSI

So of course Flip was interested right
away. The man held something across
his arm. 1t was a terrible gun, but
Flip didn't know this. He had never
had anything 10 do with terrible guns.
The dog was some distance ahead of
his master. He was running back and
forth along the edge of the Green
Forest His tail was wagging. His nose
was forward and Flip did not need to
ne told that that dog was using his
nose. He was trying to smell some
thing. Flip continued to stand per-
fectly still. He was partly hidden by
some bushes. Yes sir, he was partly
hidden by some bushes. Neither the
strange dog nor the man saw him.
The dog kept working up nearer
and nearer to where Flip was. Pres
ped stock still on the edge Of the
Green Forest. His nose was pointed
forward into the Green Forest. He had
stopped with his right forefoot lifted
and this was bent and held perfectly
still, as II he were pointing with that
foot. His tail had stopped wagging
and was held stiff and straight behind.
There he stood, as If he couldn't move.
Flip didn't know what to make of it.
Then he noticed that the man with the
terrible gun was slowly coming up be-
hind the dog
Flip didn't like those strangers there
They didn't belong on Farmer Browns
land. Flip decided to tell them so. He
raced out, barking as only a terrier
can bark. Straight toward that notion
less dog raced Flip, barking as If he
would bark his head off. The dog paid
no heed. This angered Flip. He rushed
straight up to that dog and so straight
to the very edge of the tangle on the
edge of the Green Forest.
Whirr! With a roar of wings UP
few Mrs. Grouse and pitched over
through the trees before the hunter
with the terrible gun had a chance to
shoot. She had been frightened by
Flip. She had not been frightened by
the other dog, because as you remember
when he discovered her he had stood
perfectly still, SO that she wasn't sure
that he saw her.
How angry that hunter vast You
see, he knew that there was no one at
home at Farmer Browns that day and
he had taken this opportunity to sneak
over on Farmer Browns land to hunt.
He hadn't known about Flip. Now he
threw sticks at Flip which only made
Flip bark the harder, while he kept at
a safe distance. So presently the man
and his dog hurried away. Mr.. and
Mrs. Grouse were safe for that day.

How Flip had Ionged to go! But he
and BoWser the hound had been left
behind. BoWser didn't mind. He had
been left behind too many times. But
Flip did mind. He sat about discon-
solately. He tried to induce Bowser to
60 down on the Green Meadow with
him, or over to the Gren Forest, but
BowSer wouldn't go. You know, Bowser
q much older than Flip.
Finally, while Bowser took a nap,
Flip wandered over to the Old orchard
and down along the old stone wall
toward the Green Forest. Suddenly he
pricked up his ears. He had heard a
sharp whistle. He jumped over the
stone wall, where he could see better.
Almost at once he discovered a man
and dog. The dog was a strange one,

MISS LILLIAN SHOEMAKER. the 2s-year-
old instructor of Washington teachers at
the Wilson Normal School, has gained her claim
to success by her ambition and her energy, ac-
cording to the statement of her mother. She
has never been afraid to try anything and has
usually finished the things she has started.

kindergarten" said Mrs. Shoemaker, I'VE lived
over a mile from the school. I could not take
her. because I could not leave her baby sister.
I, therefore, sent for a correspondence course in
kindergarten work. and we studied and played
at home together. Later her father bought her
a First Reader. This was hard for her at first.
One day grew impatient and tapped the top Of
her head with my thimble as was sewing 20

leases me now about humping knowledge into
her head"
Mr.. Shoemaker arranged the following money
system for his children. He gave them IS cents
for each on their school reports and 10 cents
for each G, but If they received an they paid
dad 10 cents and If an unsatisfactory mark was
received they paid their father IS cents. APP
parently the Shoemaker children usually re-
ceived good marks, for the rewards for the ES
and Gs were sufficient for their spending money.
The children were taught to save 40 per cent
of their earnings, which expressed as
cents out Of every nickel received from dad.
The savings were kept in box in their fathers
