half of the affected area. Railroads
were said in the report to have
caused 2S0 fires, smokers were re-
sponsible for 343, and meadow
burning for 242. while 261 resulted
from unknown causes.
A large number of the fires were
confined to an area of from a
quarter of an acre to 10 acres. the
total of such fires being 1913. Con-
fined to a territory of less than a
quarter of an acre were $50 fires,
while 3O2 fires burned in areas of
from 100 to 1000 acres. There were
A blazes which ranged over a ter
ritory of more than 1000 acres.
Merchantable timber suffered S.
S19 damage, and cut products de
stroyed were valued at $9,191. Re
production stands of young timber
bore the brunt of the fires, although
fighters devoted a great deal OF
their attention to these stands. The
damage to reproduction stands was
placed at $97,354. These stands
were established in an effort to
place Minnesota among the forest
states.
For the fighting labor and sup
plies, the state expended a total of
$82,24O19. There were 11,248 men
on the payroll, who worked togeth-
er with 6,9S3 volunteer fire fighters.

Use Care in Selecting Evergreens

People living in West Central
Minnesota must select, with care
the evergreens they plant, says
John A. Anderson, horticulturist at
the West Central School and Sta

cause of the fact that this section
Of the state is subject to extremes
of drought and moisture, as well
as to severe winds, both winter and
summer, not all evergreens will
thrive under these severe condi,

Anderson suggests a few that have
shown themselves especially adapt

The Red Cedar, he says, is a

by drought, and winds. A very

Out Classed at Osakis
Locals Too Small to Cope with Well
Coached Team on Small
Floor

The high school basketball team
lost return game with the Osakis
cagers Friday, SO to II at Osakis.
The game was very fast through
out but Osakis gradually forged in
to a big lead. The first half end
ing 10 to in favor of Osakis.
Sank Centre had an edge in fight
during this half but were handi-
capped on the small floor and could
not come within range of the bas-
ket.
The second half was clearly Osa-
ki's game. Driving through with
much force, the home team scored
26 points to raise their total to 49,,
holding the invaders to a basket
and two free throws. During the
last period the referee let the
game get away from him, to the
dissatisfaction of both sides.
Sank Centre could not cope with
their taller, heavier opponents. Dix
on led the Osakis attack with 70
points, while Johnson scored 9
points in the last half. Frank and
Borgmann were the backbone of
the local attack. The box score:

Auditorium when a double header

be expected.
The High School will play the
last regular home game of the
season when they meet the Mel

the best game of the High School

HOOVER DEMANDS
ACTION ON TARIFF
Stability Of Country Unneces-
sarily Delayed by DilatOry
Tactics of Senate
LEGISLATION HELD UP
Hope Expressed that Bill May
Be Sent to Conference Not
Later Than March 10

Washington, Feb. 1S.-President
Hoover appealed to congressional
Republican leaders at a White
House breakfast conference today
to speed up the tariff bill for
the sake of the business stability
but Senate leaders told him there
is nothing they can do to hasten
action. They expressed the hope
that the Senate will complete &C
ton on the measure by March 10
and thus help clear up the jam
which is threatening the rest of
the administration program.
The president emphasized the
fact that delay in the tariff is
causing business uncertainty. Sem
ator Watson, majority floor leader
of the Senate, who headed the con
gressional delegation, said there
was no discussion at the break
fast of the failure of administra-
ton Republicans to defend Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes from
the recent attack by Democrats
and western Republicans. The out
come of the conference was an ap-
parent recognition of the control
of senate forces by the Democratic
Observation-Disclosures tariff coal
ition.
There was no criticism of senate
leadership at the conference, it
was said, the president expressing
confidence that those in charge
were doing everything possible.
Representative Tilson, after the
breakfast, reiterated his statement
of yesterday that the senate's fail
ure to make progress on the tariff
bill is creating business unrest and
accounting in part for the eco
nomic depression.
Meanwhile ii was learned after
the breakfast meeting that unless
congress presses the administration
quarters for the necessity of clear
ing the legislative decks to permit
prompt action of the appropria-
tions bill .r@e' &raa@
No appeal to the country at large
for support of the administrations
program is contemplated, however,
it was learned.

beautiful, being rather slow grow
ing but spreading out with a very
symmetrical form. The foliage
ranges from a deep green to rich
glistening blue. 1t is a very valuable
tree in the windbreak and also as a
specimen tree on the lawn. The
Black Hills Spruce is also a very
hardy tree. It grows symmetrical,
compact and bushy with the lower
branches very close to the ground.
| The foliage is of deep green color.
It is excellent for windbreak, back
ground or specimen planting on the
lawn.
Among the pines, Mr.. Anderson
suggests the Bull Pine, or to use
the correct name, the Ponderosa
Pine. 1t is particularly valuable in
that it will grow on a greater
variety of soils than any other pine.
In Western North Dakota it grows
and thrives on dry exposed hills
where no other tree can live.
Scotch Pine, while not as hardy
as Ponderosa Pine, in exposed
locations does well in the wind
break where it is somewhat shell
tered by other trees. European
Larsh, while not an evergreen, is
one of the conifers which grows
rapidly, forming a compact pyr-
amidal plant which is very attrac-
tive through the growing season be-
cause of it's beautiful and fresh
looking foliage. 1t is excellent for
the windbreak and for low places.
The White Pine, the most beaut-
iful of all pines, is also adapted to
the prairies, but more trouble is
had in getting them established.
With such list to choose from
there is no good reason why every
farm should not have a goodly
supply of evergreens. Not only do
they add much to the beauty of the
farm yard, but they have a very
utilitarian value as windbreak.
Buy good stock and plant care
fully, according to directions, says
Mr.. Anderson, and if possible cul-
tivate your evergreens for few
years, until they are established
and are growing vigorously.

Butter Market Remains Unsettlc,

Butter Market Remains Unsettled
Receipts of butter on the New

for the demand, with liberal re-
ceipts anticipated for this week.
On the Chicago market fancy
stocks are showing considerable
accumulation with market very I'm
settled. Buyers have shown very
little interest and edarsha atetl
little interest and trade has been
dull. This condition is reflected in
half-cent decline on Chicago Ex-
tras effective today. 1t is expected
that receipts will continue to be
liberal in view of anticipated in
crease in production throughout
the heavy producing area.
The Chicago butter market on
80 score Standards is quoted at
351a cents, New York marget on
90 score Extras 81 cents.
Egg receipts on the Chicago mar
ket continue heavy and this has
been reflected in a Scent reduction
in the market today. The New
York market has been holding
firm which has been reflected in in
creased consumption developed by
moderate retail prices and good
quality of eggs offered. Receipts
have not increased as fast as was
expected. However, it is not expect
ed that this condition will exist
during the coming week in view of
the reported increased production
throughout the producing area.
The Chicago egg market on fresh

The Chicago live poultry mar
ket is quoted as follows: Leghorn
fowl % cents; small colored 81;
heavy colored "a; soft-meated
springs 20 to %; stays %; old
ROSTERS 20 cents.
Dressed fowl have been in heavy
supply on the New York market
