To Experiment
With Soil Fertilizers
Enrichment of Land Deficient
In Minerals Problem of
Many Farmers

Fertilizer demonstration and ex.
periments will be conducted on two
Redwood county farms during 1881
according to County Agent Nate H
Bovee. These experiments will be
conducted on farm Of Parker D.
Sanders and on the Edwards farm
near Wabasso.
To determine efficient methods OF
restoring fertility of the soil, it is
planned to seed grains into plats OF
ground classified as follows: straight
land (no fertilizer), sweet clover OF
legume land, soil fortified with po-
tassium, or with phosphate, etc.
Because the land in this territory is
deficient in phosphate these expert
ments will be watched closely as to
crop yields, and grain quality. Soils
in this county are not so lacking in
potassium though in some localities
it is depleted.
Legumes, such as alfalfa and Glow
ers. quickly increase the nitrogen
content and for this reason are fay-
orable with the majority of farmers
in enrichening the soils. These DEM
onstrations will attempt to show the
results of the various fertilizers used
singularly and in combinations on soil
development and to ascertain the eff
fects of each on crop improvement.

Predict Scrappy Contest When
Local High Quint Meets
Sleepy Eye Indians

With a percentage standing OF
1000 the high school basket ball
teams of Sleepy Eye and Redwood
Falls lead the Tenth District Mime
sofa High School League. There are
sixteen high schools comprising this
district, vying for victories which
will raise their standing, as placings
at the tournaments are made accord
ingly on this basis.
Redwood basketeers have won an
equal number of games so far this
season compared with Sleepy Eye
Indians, but one of the games was a
non-district game. -Four games have
been played and won.
Friday, January 9, both the senior
and junior teams will journey to
Sleepy Eye for the first encounter
this wear. Fans of both schools look
forward with keen anticipation fol
the scores indicate that the two teams
are evenly matched.
Lamberton lost to the Cardinal
Cagers on the local floor by II to 8
score, while the Sleepy Eye Indians
piled up total of 20 points to Lam
berton's IL in recent game on the
latter's floor.
But comparative scores are not al
ways indicative of teams strength
At Springfield Lamberton won by
seven points the result being II to q
while Redwood drubbed them hand
somely 80 to II.
However, a scrappy contest is as
sured, Sleepy Eye having experience
ed players hack in togs who are

Monday Was Banner Day When
1920 Letters Passed
Cancelling Machine

The outgoing postoffioe rush was
largest between Saturday noon ana
Monday noon when the local depaFt'
ment was swamped with letters. i.
Over H. 900 letters passed through
the letter cancellor Monday accord
to the numbering machine, said Act
ing Postmaster H. F. Warner.
This last minute rush was caused.
it is thought, because Sunday was 80
close to Christmas. People shopped
Saturday, wrapped Sunday and mail
ed Monday.
Some of this was mailed by people
residing in surrounding towns, who
were in the city shopping Monday
and sent their Christmas cards from
the local postoffice.
December Receipts Less
While the total business for De-
cember does not show receipts equal
to last year, still the figures indicate
that the business was better than
most people anticipated.
From Saturday noon to Monday
noon $500 was received in sale OF
postage stamps. This is unusual for
single days business. Together
with Monday afternoons the total
was over 500.
Many Freak Cards
The local force found that the pub
lie was quite efficient in wrapping
this year though there were the usual
amount of incorrect addresses, and
insufficient postage.
Freak cards were numerous, some
as small as a postage stamp while
others one foot square gave postal
employees no end of trouble. Even
round and pointed shaped cards were
found.
Average number of letters passing
through the cancelling machine dur
ing December is 1000. Normally for
the year it is 1900.
Estimate $4,000 Cards
At this basis of calculation $4,000
Christmas cards were sent by patrons
of the Redwood Falls postoffice,
WHICH Averages ~ Janus Ao4 SvSAJ
man woman and child in the city.
What do Redwood Falls people
spend for Christmas cards in one
season?
Something around $1,000. This
amounts to an average of $1.00 per
person, or $500 for every family Of
five.
The cost of the Christmas cards is
estimated at three cents card, while
two cents goes for stamps. This
gives an average cost of five cents
perl card.
The extra man on the postoffice
force during the rush day was A. B.
Halves. Acting Postmaster Warner
and his six assistants put in an aver
age of IL hours each on Monday.
Overtime was less this year than
during last seasons holiday business.
