ALDERMAN BLASTS
PARSNIP BUGABOO

w. H. Alderman, head of the div
ision of horticulture, Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment station, answering
an inquiry by Swift county resident,
says there is no foundation for the
idea that parsnips turn poisonous after
being taken from the ground, and that
it is not necessary to leave them in the
ground over winter.
Mr.. Alderman says, however, that It
is a good plan to leave part of ones
crop in the ground all winter, so that
a fine vegetable may be added to the
household menu in the early spring
when the ground thaws out. As mat
ter Of fact. he says, parsnips dug in the
spring are of better quality than
those dug in the fall. But fall-dug
parsnips can be kept in cellar sue
cessfully if the cellar is cool and moist.
Many persons believe that a pars-
nip which has stood in the ground all
winter becomes poisonous after growth
starts in the spring. There is nothing
to the belief After new growth has
attained a height of 10 inches or
foot, the old root becomes hard and
woody and is not good eating, but it
is not poisonous.

HONOR THE FATHER THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH

outside the pages of the United States
Official Postal Guide-the name of
Penasse, only postoffie in Minnesota's s
Northwest Angle, as the dispatch de-
scribes it.
The dispatches might have gone
farther PenaSSe is something more
than the only postoffice in the North
west Angle. 1t is the northernmost
postoff1ce in Continental United States.
Penasse is north Of every other town
in Minnesota. It, is north of every
other town along the whole straight
line border that runs from Lake of
the Woods due west to the Strait of
Georgia. 1t is north of every other
town along all the miles of crooked
boundary line that meanders eastward
from Lake of the Woods to Calais,
Maine.
And yet Penasse Minnesota, this
northernmost community Of our own
country, is south of the British Isles,
south of Berlin, south of Brussels
south Of Amsterdam, south of Den
mark, south of Poland, south of nearly
all of European Russia. Still, Penasse
is north Of most of Manchuria and
north of parts of Siberia.
The lesson, If any, CLEANED from all
this delving into geography is that the
little old Gulf Stream is a wonderful

gives us a chance to call attention to
the fact that Penasse in MinneSota's

ments, however, which the committee
will add. 1t is reported only two men,
bers of the committee will refuse to
concur in the favorable report.
The amendments are not opposed by
the friends Of conservation, 1t is under
stood. One of the amendments Is the
one suggested by the state department
to meet the objection to the legislation
made by the Canadian government.
The United States and Canada, through
treaty, have agreed to leave to an In
ternational commission the adjustment
of boundary waters matters, and short
time ago the Canadian government in
quired regarding. the Nolan bill, asking
if it in effect would attempt to usurp
the authority or powers of the inter-
national commission. The state de-
partment suggested the following
amendment to meet any possible OBJ
lection there might be, and the COM
mittee has, with the approval of the
proponents of the bill, accepted it:
Provided that nothing in this sec
ton (relating to shore lines, lake levels,
etc. shall be construed as interfering
with the duties of the international
joint commission created pursuant to
the convention concerning the bound
airy waters between the United States
and Canada, concluded between the
United States and Great Britain on
Jan IL, 1909, and action taken with the
provisions of the convention, protocol
and agreement between the United
States and Canada which were signed
at Washington Feb. 4, 1925, for the
purpose Of regulating the level of Lake
of the Woods"
The forest service has perepareu
three amendments which the committee
will accept. They are calculated to
give the forest department larger dis
cretionary powers in timber cutting;

logging purposes and permitting the

for banking grounds, landings and
other uses connected with logging op-
erations.
These amendments are understood
to meet partially at least the objections
made to the bill by Cloquet citizens.
They are said to have for their pur-
pose also the placing in a responsible
department of needed discretionary
powers in determining conservation
policy within the area in times of en-
ergency. At the hearings there seemed
to be general agreement by both friends
and foes of the bill that the cause of
conservation was safe if discretionary
powers in relation to certain small mat
terS of policy were left to the forest
service
The favorable report of the COM
mittee will be directly contrary to the
wishes and recommendation of E. w.
Backus, who appeared with number
OF witnesses to oppose the al.
Just what is to be done with the bill
introduced by Representative w. A.
Pittenger is not known at this time.
Mr. Pittenger is prepared to make a
fight for his measure and during the
hearings of the Nolan bill was in reg
ular attendance. Several witnesses
friendly to his bill testified against pro-
visions on the Nolan bill Mr. Pit
tenger will make a fight to reduce the
area of the region as described by the
Nolan bill, and to protect mineral
rights within the area and liberalize
timber cutting, dam building and water
power rights. The Nolan bill preScribes
the limits within which the forest SER
vice can act.
In the matter of building railroads
and roads for logging and other pur-
poses the Pittenger bill says that upon
proof of convenience and necessity the
forest service shall" grant a permit.
The Nolan bill does not compel the
service to issue permit under any
kind of showing. It authorizes the
forest service to use its Judgment with
conservation as the determing factor.
1t is reliably stated that the Nolan
bill with the above amendments is to
be favorably reported by the committee
which would mean that the Pittenger
bill will not be.

FAIRBANKS PLANE MEETS WITH MISHAP AT McGRATH

Taking off on the ice from Nc Grath on Friday, the airplane of the Alaska Arways, Pilot Frank Dor bandt, after running a few hundred feet. flnally but ref- tantiy conde- scended to rise to flying attitude, after which it flew for a short dis tance, and then abruptly, at point on the Kuskokwim, opposite Dan Sprague's, made a half-nose dive and landed in hill of snow. And no one was hurt.
 Aboard the plane at the time, aside from Pilot Dorbandt, were Judge Cecil H. Clegg and Miss Parsons, court stenographer, headed for Bethel, at which place Judge Clegg was scheduled to hold session of court.
 Wet snow, adhering to skis, per mitting poor running for take-off, is said to have caGsed the mishap.
 In the dive of the plane the pro- peller and both skis were broken and other minor breaks sustained, all of which can be repaired or replaced in about four hours, following the ar rival at McGrath of company me- chanician from Fairbanks.
