Here we are, back again after
our well earned Easter vacation.
sending our program to you over
Station SHS, the voice of Sunny
Hill School. Elneaor Steffes is an
noucing this program.
Mrs. GritZmacher had our school
spick and span when we returned
to our studio Easter Monday.
Lawrence Determan was an all
day visitor at our studio Monday.
Leo is quite an authority on gram
mar rules. He firmly declares

Tuesday and Wednesday morn
ings Ralph, Janette and Leo took
three of the State exams. They all
seem quite relieved that that Or
deal is over. They all acquitted
themselves very well, so they may
rest in peace for the rest of the
school term.
My, but we surely had some good
bali games this last week. For the
first time this year we played real
kitten ball. At the best, there were
no more than four on a side, but
then it is quality, not quantity that
counts. At any rate, we had a great
deal of fun.
We have now had eight months
of school and Janette is the only
one who has succeeded in maintain
ing a perfect attendance record.
one question was to fill in blanks
about old proverbs. One was as

than an emply--.-.-----. Here is
Ralphs idea as to how it should be
completed. IAN empty purse is bet

another laugh for those who have
to correct the papers, I guess.
This is Eleanor Steffes sending
you the weekly program of Sunny
Hill over Station SHS.
There have certainly been a
great many absentees this week.
Among those who have been alb
sent are; Ralph, Tony Johnny,
William, Norman and Lawrence.
Thursday we had the final try
out to see which one would repre-

and Station, of the University Of
Minnesota. To overcome these two
difficulties, Mr.. Anderson suggests
that great care should be given to
the selection of a suitable site for
the orchard, and that only the
hardest adapted varieties should
be grown.
A north or northeast slope, if not
too steep, makes an ideal location
for the orchard, as the trees and
ground will remain frozen later in
the spring, and in that way avoid
injury from late spring frosts.
Evaporation from the soil is also on
a northern slope, and the trees will
not be as subject to injury from
drought.
A good shelter belt should be
planted to the north, west and
south to protect the trees from the
winds of winter, and the hot drying
winds of summer. The east should
be left open so as not to obstruct
the drainage of air. The shelter belt
should stand back far enough so
so that snow will not drift into the
tops of the fruit trees breaking
them down.
There are three extremity hardy
varieties of apples adapted to
Minnesota conditions. The HARRISON
which is a new variety that was
developed at the Minnesota Fruit
Breeding Farm, is the most out
standing among these. This variety
is free from blight, heavy bearer,
producing fruit of excellent quality,
which if properly stored will keep
up to April. The Patterns Greening
has all the good qualities of the
HARRISON, except that it is not as
good a keeper. The Hibernal is
probably the heaviest of all the
apples. The trees of this variety
bear fruit early and yield very
heavily. The apple is not good for
eating but is excellent for cooking
purposes and is a fair keeper.
The Duches of Oldenburg, NAL
india and Anisim, are hardy varie-
ties, but not as extremely hardy
as the varieties previously mention
ed. The Duches of Oldenburg is
very popular because of it's heavy
yielding of high quality fruit which
natures early in September. The
Anisim produces apples of a bright
red color, maturing early in the
fall. It is not quite as heavy yield
er as the Duches, and the fruit is
smaller, but is a better keeper. The
Malinda is slow in coming into
production, but yields heavily after
it starts bearing. The fruit is of
good quality and will keep until
spring.
The Wealthy has always been one
of the most popular variety in
Minnesota. This variety produces
the finest quality apple grown in
this section of the state, but the
tree, unless top-worked on the
liberal is not sufficiently hardy
for West Centred Minnesota. This
variety is also less resistant to
blight than the other varieties
mentioned.
Among the Crabs, the Early
Strawberry, Florence and Whitney
are best adapted to this locality.
The Early Strawberry blights some
what, but is extremely hardy, and
is a bearer of good quality fruit
which natures in September. The
Florence and Whitney crabs are
both very resistant to blight. The
Florence is extremely hardy and is
very heavy producer, while the
Whitney is only fairly heavy in
production as compared with the
other varieties, but the fruit is of
excellent quality, and the largest
of this group.

Why So Early

ATOW, I'm blessed if I can see in
~ what way that's Job on the
city chap. His conduct appears to
me entirely rational. The joke is on
the farmer. I still don't know why
the farmer gets up at a. m.
It's not only bad for him, but for
the rest of us as well. Populism,
prohibition and fundamentalisn can
all be traced to this early rising.
I'd be willing to bet that any rea-
sonably good efficiency engineer
could so schedule the activities Of
the average farm that scandalous
goings-on like getting out of bed
before daybreak would be wholly
unnecessary.
AS I understand 1t, one of the
things done at the unearthly hour
of 4 a. m. is milking. And yet they
expect to have contented COWS.
Why couldn't there be compro-
mise? I'm sure the herd would just
as soon meet the milkmaids and
the milkman at, let's say, about 9:15
If I read the advertisements cor
rectly. at least one of the biggest
canning companies Utilities only such
milk as comes from happy. con-
tented cows, and throws the rest
away.
Now, surely, it's a pity that the
nations food supply should be
diminished by mere petulance.

The Truth About the Mexican War

Professor Justin H. Smith, who died recently, VIII
he remembered as the man who did more than any
other American to clarity the actual facts concerning
our war with Mexico In the middle OF the last
century.
Conventional patriotic view of the Mexican
was that it was a glorious crusade of Anglo-saxon
liberty against Latin tyranny. 1t was an unselfsh
battle for the freedom Of Texas and the world. A
reaction set in against this Interpretation.
Even reputable historians came to picture the war
az an example of brutal aggression on the part of
great state against brave little country which
wanted peace but was too proud to surrender its
territory without fighting.
II remained for Professor Smith to reject both OF
these interpretations and to give realistic account
Of the conflict He made it clear that the United
States was not solely interested in human liberty in
waging the Mexican war.
President Polk certainly willing to go to war
If Texas could not be acquired in any other way
And there is no denying that the United States was
far stronger country than Mexico.
At the same time, there is no doubt that Mexico
was much more eager Tor war in 1886 than was our
government at Washington. At that period Mexico
was controlled by succession of military adventures
who could maintain their hold on the government
only through keeping their compatrots excited and
united by hatred of the United States.
The Mexicans refused to receive the commissioners
Wv
matters They insuted the United States and our
representatives and ridiculed institutions in the
most open and varied fashion
Moreover, strange as it may seem now, the Mexi-
cans actually were confident that they could defeat
any force the United States could send to the border
One Mexican was believed to be a match for ten
American soldiers. Santa Anna himself confessed
after the war was over that his country had invited
the struggle and hoped that it would come.
Of course 1t must be obvious that the facts OF l844-
Is47 should In no way influence our present relations
with Mexico But it is well to understand that the
United States did not act the part Of great bully at
the time of the Mexican war, and that Mexico was not
the Belgium Of I847.
For the first clear and definite analysis OF the
,erits and issues of this dramatic conflict of nearly
century ago. we are indebted mainly to the long.
patient and unprecedented labors Of DR.. Smith.

Another Prison Outbreak

New prison mutinies reported from the Mis-
souri, state pententiary at Jefferson City, and militia
units have been modified
AS in numerous other outbreaks throughout the
country in recent months the causes clear The
pententiary is housing twice the number Of men for
which it designed The convicts claim they are
poorly fed. They charge also they made to work
too hard
How well-founded these charges are not, OF
course, be told. But any prisoner knows that his
chances of gaining anything through mutiny are
slim. He Is faced with overwhelming force and
punishment is in prospect later 1t is the act of des-
perate men to rebel against authority they can
not hope to escape.
The Missouri outbreak Is only another evidence OF
the lamentable conditions in our prisons state and
