Fair Alumni and Mohawks Are Winners Tn Bas-
 ketball Contests

Tn basketball, high school girls and boys need few more lessons. Just a few. Students of both mas culine and feminine gender played fast and well last night in the high school gymnasium but their op- posing town teams were just a lit tie faster and just little better, and so were victorious in the end. High school girls were beaten by the, alumni girls, 16 to 19, and high school boys by the city Mo- hawks, II to 15.
 The scholastic basket tossers started nicely At the end of the first half, high school girls were on even terms with the alumni girls, and at the end of the third quarter high school boys were ahead of their town rivals. But that's the way in life. It is not the start, nor the early part of the course, but the gruelling latter part and the driving finish that de- ciles contests.
 SparkIers Among Girls
 Among the girls Lena Jackson, June Geyer and Barbara Vim sparkled for the high school, and Irene Burke, Mrs. E. c. Sweum and Elsie Jensen for the Alumni.

DECENT GARAGE

A ear is known not so much by
the company it keeps as by the way
it is kept. Many a good car, start
ing out from a reputable factory
with plenty Of solid, well-earned
reputation as its birthright, has
gone to an early junk pile merely
because its owners failed to give il
a proper home. 1t may have been al

night, losing its lustre and good
looks, unprotected from the weather
Or it may have had the scant pro

The growing practice Of making
the garage part of the house in
sures longer, more self-respecting
life for the motor ear. Too, it adds
greatly to the conveniences and use
fulness of any automobile. 1t elm
mates the bother of trckking out
back in bad weather.
Present-day architects have evolv-
ed. many ingenious plans for ipcor-
porating the garage on the front side
of home, thereby leaving space
behind the house free for gardens,
lawns and other landscaping fea-
lures which can be enjoyed iii pri-
vacy by the family.
Naturally, building the garage as
part of the house puts added i'm
portance on the need for sound, fire
safe construction. Most building
codes require adequate fre-stops be
tween the garage and house proper,
but if the entire house is built in
the modern + "A $ j. ON, firesafe
throughout, this detail will be auto
matically taken care of.
In many instances, il may be i'm
practicable to incorporate the ga
rage with the house. Attention then
is focused on building the garage as
n separate unit. Another element
then enters the problem, for the ga
rage must be designed architectural
ly TO harmonic with the rest of the
property. II should have the same
exterior finish. and if the house has
such distinguishing features such as

COZY ROOM MAY

ALTERING PORCH

Thousands of families in the
United States annually are con-
fronted with the necessity of add
ing an extra room to their living
quarters or moving into a larger
house. They face, on the one hand,
the discomfort and expense of Sc
lecting new home and moving
their belongings, and on the other
the considerable expense of building
an additional room.
For those who are fortunate
enough to have an enclosed porch

tion-the problem is easily and econ
Cmically solved This also applies
to those wishing to add an extra
room for pleasure, or profit, or an
occasional emergency.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS
MAY BE P0TTED
DURING SPRING
BY MARGARET WHEATLEY

1t is quite popular now W t h
Num- growers to pot up some
plants in the first part of May.
These are grown under special CON
ditions, given special fertilizer and
watched as one might watch the
growth Of an infant. Then when the
fall flower shows open, there Is
your gorgeous chrysanthemum all
ready TO go to the fair, without
the danger of becoming wilted or

fore the Judging.
The geranum has been so mis-
treated in California, that it is hard
to imagine . beautiful one, yet there
are several. These plants are the
least demanding in their soil and
place of habitation. Because of
their drought resisting qualities,
they are admirably suited to pot cul-
ture. They should be largely used
for planting window boxes, and
adorning porehes and patios.
The ivy leaved Charles Turner, is
a beautiful deep pink. There is also
a lilac pink in this variety of ge-
ranium which will be found to har-
monize well with most paints IN

trailing branches make them most
desirable where they can be given
q little elevation from the ground,
or when allowed TO creep along be
side a pool they are most effective.
There is also the more old fash

Alfalfa Superior to All Other
Forage CrOus

In addition to it's higher value asz
a feed for dairy cows and other
farm livestock and as a soil fertil-
ity builder, alfalfa is superior to alT
other farm forage crops in the
money value of it's greater yields.
Its greater dollars and cents value,
is shown in the yearly crop report
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for 1927, which
gives the average acre yields of the
leading hay crops. The average
acre yield of alfalfa hay for the
country as a whole last year was
given as 2. 70 tons, as compared to-
LIS tons for clover hay; 1.63 tons
for mixed clover and timothy hay,
and 1.43 tons for straight timothy
hay.
Alfalfa, therefore outyielded all
other hay crops by more than a ton
per acre, which means that for
every 10 acres of meadow, 10 tons
more hay were obtained from al
falfa than for any other hay crop.
Giving all tame hay an average,
farm price of SIS a ton, alfalfa pro-
duced in 1927 SIS worth more of
hay per acre than any other hay
crop. With ten acres of alfalfa, $3.50
worth more of hay was produced
than from an equal acreage of any
other hay.

q gain over the number tabulated
in 1920, according to preliminary

The 1880 total, as of April 1, lists

in 1925, a decrease of 2,775 or Is
per cent, the census shows. How
ever, the 1880 figure was but 49,

gain of 6.99S farms or 3.9 per cent.
OF the counties listed separately,
Otter Tail leads with $500 farms, a
gain of SO over the 1925 total and
~ over the 10 year period, accord
ing to the report.
st. Louis county showed the larg-
est single county decrease in a
comparison of figures issued in
1925 and 1880. In 1925 that county
has 6,951 farms, while the present
figure gives 4,S58. In 1880 st. Louis
county had 4,271 farms.
Lake county, though having a
small number of farms, showed the
largest percentage drop from 1925
to 1880. In 1925 the county had
IA farms listed as compared to

A farm, for census purposes, is
designated as all land which is di-
rectly farmed by one person. eth
er by his own labor alone or with
the assistance of members of his
household or hired employees.
When a landowner has one or
more tenants, renters, choppers or
managers, the land operated by
each is considered a farm.
Any tract of land less than

purposes, which produced products
to the value of $3.50 in the preced-
ing calendar year is classed as a
