Dredging operations at Nome and vicinity during the past seas on were carried on very success fully.

 The Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields, as usual, were the largest dredge operators. Three of their mammoth electric gold dredges have been continuously busy dig ging up the gold bearing gravels beneath the tundra around Little Creek and Anvil Creek and handl- ed millions of yards of gravel which had previously been thawed by the cold water method, and great areas '''''' oiS' bNNI lIitt VI Si III tlu q litt for next seasons operations.
 The No. ? dredge of the Ham mon Company. closed down early in the summer in order that pre- paratory work for moving the dredge to another location might be made. The ladder which car ries about 110 buckets, each weigh ing about q ton. were removed as was the stacker and spuds. The dredge is being moved bodily over the tundra a little over mile to a more favorable location near Center creek where the com pany has a large area of dredging ground which has been thawed in advance of opera tions. The con tract for the moving of this dredge the hull of which weights 1900 tons. is in charge of Contractor Curtis of Seattle, who brought in the necessary equipment from Seat tie. This is the heaviest compact body ever moved on Seward Pen insula. Formerly the hull was cut in half and hauled by horse teams, as many as eighty head of stock being necessary to move the parts during the winter season. It is quite an interesting sight to see the mammoth dredse up in the air about eight feet, which is now being moved across the frozen tun- dra. This work was delayed until cold weather set in and froze the tundra to a depth of five or six inches in order to hold up the weight. From the viewpoint of

REFINISHED OLD FLOORS
TO BRIGHTEN THE HOME

Nothing adds more to the attrac-
tiveness and cheerfulness of home
than bright we'll finished floors, says
Miss Mary May Miller, home man
agement Specialist, University Farm.
Old floors, she explains, may readily
be refnished by following the simple
directions given below.
The varnish should be removed
from old floors which are badly worn,
and the dark and stained parts
bleached. Oxalic acid will usually
bleach these; if not, try half oxalic
acid and half tartaric acid. These
acids should be washed off with a
sponge or cloth soaked in benzine.
Water should never be used as it may
stain the floor. A little vinegar is
good to add to the acid.
1t is best to leave the acid on un-
til it dries. The dust from these
acids is very injurious to the painter.
Before sandpapering, wipe off with
benzine Refill the floor if necessary.
This filler can be stained; if not ne
cessary, stain the floor or leave it
natural. When dry, go over with a
thin coat of shellac. 1t can be fin
ished with shellac and wax, or var
nish and wax, or vanished and rub

HERE'S NEW HELP ON
STAGING RURAL PLAYS

Troublesome problems in putting
on rural plays are dealt with in a
very practical manner in a new cir
cular issued by the agricultural ex-
tension division of the University of
Minnesota. S. B. Cleland, who has
charge of the rural community serv-
ice extension division, is the author
of the new publication, which is en-
titled "Play Production" Copies may
be had free by addressing the Mail
ing Room, University Farm, st.

LIGHT TEAM SETS NEW
STATE PULLING MARK

Exerting a tractive pull Of 2,675
pounds, q team of 10-year old grade
Belgian mares owned by William
Morlock of Jordan recently set new
state pulling record for light teams,
which includes teams weighing less
than 5000 pounds.
The pull was measured by the dyn-
amometer car owned by the animal
husbandry division of the University
of Minnesota and witnessed by q
large crowd at the annual Jordan fair
staged by the Scott County Good
Seed association and the Farmers
Agricultural Society. A L. Harvey,
horse specialist, University Farm, ex-
plains that the energy put forth by
this team in maintaining the above
pull over the required distance Of
27.5 feet was equivalent to starting
a load of about $4,000 pounds on an
ordinary wagon on granite block
pavement nearly 20 times. By an
other comparison it would equal
drawing six. 14-inch plows, set 6
deep, in ordinary stubble land.
The previous state record for light
team pulls was $3.50 pounds made in
1929 by a team belonging to Paul
Loeffker of Arlington. This team
weighed 1910 pounds, while the Nor
lock team tipped the scale at 2,945
pounds. The state pulling record for
heavy teams is 5000 pounds and is
held by Union Stockyards team at
South st. Paul.

lar attractions at county fairs and
other like gatherings and the dyna-

S2,O7O FOR SCHOOL EXHIBITS
FOR 1881 EXPOSITION

With the approval of prize list
totaling $2,07O.O0 for the School Ex-
hibits department, the Board of Gov
ernors of the Minnesota State Fair
has taken the first step toward the
staging of the 1881 Exposition.
Although it is only short time
since the gates closed on this years
great Fair, school children in the ru-
raj and semi-graded schools of the
state are already enrolled in contests
that will be brought to climax at
the 1881 Fair.
Mrs. Louise G. Karstens of Mime
apolis, superintendent of the depart
ment, has completed a program that
calls for state wide declamatory and
spelling contests, and the county
schools exhibits. In the latter class
will be exhibits of geography, lang
uage, penmanship, manual training
and handwork.
A new record for both quality and
quantity of school exhibits was estab-
1ished at the Fair which closed, re-
ports Mrs. Karstens. The competi-
tion in all events was the keenest in
years, and the judges put in several
extra hours in determining the win
ners. So much enthusiasm was shown
by county school superintendent
over this years results that indica-
tions point to even greater display OF
exhibits next year.
Dates for the 1881 Minnesota
State Fair have not yet been set by
the Board of Governors. Official ap-
proval will not be forthcoming until
a later meeting Of the Board, al
though it is likely the management
will retain Labor Day week as in
other years.
More than 5000 exhibitors pratici-
pated in this years big exposition,
according to Raymond A. Lee, secre-
tary. A checkup reveals that the
number of head of livestock shown
this year was the greatest in history,
1000 cattle, horses, swine and sheep
being on display. The poultry show
likewise recorded large increase in
birds, jumping from 2,136 in 1929 to
over 5000 in 1880.
The management is highly elated
over the fact that not single seri-
Gus accident of any kind marred the
week. The safety campaign that had
been thoroughly outlined before the
gates to the Fair opened, worked out
to the last detail, even to the hand
ling of the swarm of children who at
tend the final day, when the admis-
sion bars were let down at the out
side gates, and the admission to the
bleachers was reduced to ten cents.

TO FIX INHERITANCE IN
DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE

Experiments aimed at fixing the in
heritance factors in dual-purpose
cattle are to be undertaken by the
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
Station at its Waseca branch. DR..
Andrew Boss, vice-director of the ex-
pertinent station, and Superintendent
Robert E. Hodgson of Waseca, will
carry on the work. They are now
studying pedigrees of Milking Short
horns with view of buying a num-
ber of high producing female for a
foundation herd.
More interest is being manifested
by farmers in dual-purpose or Milk
ing Shorthorns now than ever before,
says DIR. Boss. This has probably
been accentuated, he says, by the re-
cent high beef prices and the present
low prices for dairy products. While
it is known that many individual an
imals of the dual purpose type have
the capacity to produce both beef and
milk efficiently, one of the big draw
backs is that such cattle cannot be
depended upon to transmit these
qualities to their offspring. The pre-
sent series of experiments will be
designed to correct this deficiency.
Messrs Boss and Hodgson hope to
get lead of several years on their
undertaking by picking cows for
their breeding herd which have been
bred along similar lines for several
generations. Having selected these
individuals, they will use them in in
breeding and line-breeding expert
ments to purify the blood lines and
to further fix and intensity their
! dual-purpose characteristics.
Arrangements for the exchange of
bulls have been made with the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which is carrying on similar expert
ments at it's stations in Maryland,
Vermont and Montana. A plan is
also being developed for cooperating
! with farmers, who will take bulls
/ bred at Waseca and use them, allow
ing the experiment station to keep a
close check on their breeding per-
formances and whereabouts.

NORSELAND SIGNS FIRST
CREAMERY AGREEMENT

To the Norseland Cooperative
Creamery of Nicollet county belongs
the distinction of being the first to
sign an agreement with the Minneso-
ia Statewide Cow-Testing associa-
tion, thereby definitely making avail
able to it's patrons this new cow-test-
ing service. The agreement, signed
by Edward Webster, president, and
Henry Burke, secretary, endorses
the plan advanced by the Minnesota
Statewide Cow-Testing association
and the agricultural extension divi-
sion at University Farm 1t also
provides that the creamery will
make monthly deductions from the
cream checks of individual patrons
for testing services rendered them by
the association, and will notify the
central office when new members are
signed or cancellations of service de-
sired.
These creamery agreements pro-
vide further that the creamery shall
appoint a committee to have charge
of the cow-testing project in the COM
munity, cooperating with the local
county agent. The Norseland Cream
cry has appointed such committee,
and at the last report, 16 members
had been signed up to start the work
in October. 1t was expected that 25
or more herds would be signed up by
that. time. Late in September sever
al other creameries either signed or
accepted similar agreements. Many
more will do so within the next few
weeks.
Office facilities and laboratory
for testing mix samples have been set
up at University Farm and actual
testing will begin this month, accord
ing to H. r. Searles of the agricul-
tural extension division, who is in
charge. Kits containing sample cans
and sheets for recording milk weigh
ings will be mailed to each member
of the association once month. The
member will take samples of milk
from each Of his cows, weighing the
milk night and morning, and send
the samples and weight figures to
University Farm. There the samples
will be tested and the amount of milk
and butterfat production for each cow
and for the herd computed. This
data will then be sent to the member
monthly and annually. Field service
will also be provided by dairy spe-
cialists, who will advise members in
