TELLS HOW TO HATCH
GEESE EGGS BETTER.

Here's an interesting question which
was answered in this weeks issue of
The Farmer and Farm, Stock and
Home:
]. c., ST. Louis Co., Mimi, writes:
81 am going to hatch goose eggs for
the first time, but I am uncertain as
to the best methods for best results"
Geese eggs are generally incuhated
under hens and this is thought to be
the best and safest method. Some
times geese handle them and do very
well and sometimes they do not. The
trouble with geese is that they are
ugly and hard to handle.
Hens will cover about five eggs.
Some efforts have been made in the
artificial Matching of geese eggs and
some success has been made. They
do better in incubators that carry
moisture trays which are kept very
moist than in dry chamber machines.
The temperature is about the same
as for chickens starting at 101 to 1011s
the second week 102 and 1929, third
up to 103 and the fourth up to 1O4
during the actual Matching process.
These temperatures are given for
Thermometers that stand on the egg
tray with the bulb just about on a
level with the germ in the egg.

STATE SNOW FLOWING
BILL CUT IN HALF.

The Minnesota Highway department
spent less than half as much for snow
blowing last winter as in other winters
since snow blowing has been done over
the entire trunk highway system. The
expenditure for snow blowing during
the 1929-30 winter was $21 900, ac-
cording to Highway bulletin, an av
erage of $50 per mile on the 1000
mile system. The department spent
$489, 304 in the winter of 1867, $48S,-
140 in the winter of 1929 and $780,
829 in 1928-29. The above figures in
clude OUTLAWS for snow fence and
snow plowS, and pro-rated allowance
for trucks and tractors.
The decreased expenditure is due
largely to the small amount Of snow
during the past winter, but also to the
fact that heavy, high speed truck
pillow units operated by the regular
sectionmen have made fewer special
crews necessary. The state highways
were kept practically 100 per cent open
during the past winter
The saving is not all clear gain, ac-
cording to Commissioner G. M. Bah
cock. Where there is no snow, 1t Is
necessary to do more or less blading
and other maintenance work on the
unpaved routes during the winter.
There is also large loss of gravel,
which does not occur when there is
snow on the ground. Just how much
this loss amounts to is difficult to es-
innate, but it Is considerable.

STEEL To WHEAT
Gets ATTENTION
ST. LOUIS COUNTY COMMITS
SIONERS GO ON RECORD IN
FAVOR OF MAKING A STATE
AID ROAD OF THIS HIGHWAY
FROM ELY TO CROOKSTON.

The county commissioners of this
county at the last meeting took off,
cial recognizance of the movement on
foot to have a route known as the
"Steel to Wheat" highway marked
out from Ely to Crookston, straight
across the upper end of the state and
have the same designated as state
aid road.
AS the county commissioners could
not go farther than to act on that
portion of the highway to the st. Louis
County line to the west, the resolu-
tons adopted explain themselves.
The resolutions as adopted by
the unanimous vote of the commits
sionerS at the meeting were:
Whereas, There is considerable
public sentiment ol.rout tie County
of st. Louis, in favor of the deSigna-
ton of a county highway extending
across st. Louis County, from the City
of Ely, westerly through the City OF
Tower, and the Village OF Cook, thence
westerly to point on the westerly
boundary line Of st. Louis County,
there to connect with some suitable
highway in ItaSca County, which high
way should be known as the steel to
ignated as a State Aid Highway; and
Whereas, In the judgment of this
Board, it is desirable that the advisa-
bility of locating and designating such
route as State Aid highway. should
be carefully considered by the High
way engineering staff of st. Louis
County, and this Board, before TAX
ing any final action thereon.
"Now, Therefore Be It Resolved.
That the Chief Highway Engineer, S.
B. Shepard, and the division engineers
for the Fourth and Seventh Commits
sioner's Districts, together with the
Commissioners of said districts, be and
they are hereby designated as COM
mittee for this Beard to investigate,
and consider the best available route
for such highway from the City of
Ely, westerly through the City of
Tower, and the Village of Cook thence
westerly, to the westerly boundary line
of st. Louis County, and said commit
tee is hereby requested with reason
able diligence, to investigate said mat
ter and report thereon to this Board"

"U' MOTHERS DAY
PLANNED MAY 10

Hundreds of mothers of University
of Minnesota students who will visit
the campus May 10 for the events OF
the annual Mothers Day will find the
program departing rather widely from
those of previous years.

of the Mothers Day activities in that
one building.
The morning will be devoted to
visiting classes or student homes and
meeting student friends as in the past
years, and at noon the mothers will be
guests of their sons or daughters.
Beginning at P. M. play will be
given in the auditorium by one of the
undergraduate dramatic casts. This
will last until four o'clock, at which
time tea will be served in number of
booths in the auditorium lobby and
! in special rooms in that building. At
P. NJ the mothers will be asked to
reassemble in the main auditorium
for the only address of the day. which
will be delivered by President L. D.
Coffman The dinner will be served
in the University Armory this year
and will be accompanied only by en-
tertainment features. not by speaking.

ELY-TWO HARbORS
SHORT GUT ROAD

north of Two Harbors, and will con-
meet with the Finland road thirty
miles due north and will cut about
thirty miles from the distance be-
tween Two Harbors and Ely by the
present route.
The cutoff will also be the most
direct route between Duluth and Ely
and will shorten the distance between
these points by about thirty miles.
-Four miles new location was APP
proved for construction within the
Superior National Forest this year,
which will complete the present plans.

has the distinction of being the first
man in Congress to ask for vigorous
steps against the proposed merger of
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads. After a careful re-
view of this problem he declared that
1t would require legislation to head off
the merger. The Minnesotan further
said that he believed court action alb
solutely necessary to attack the de-
cision of the interstate commerce COM
mission, regardless of pending legis-
lative proposals.
There are Indications" Congress-
man Pittenger said, "That our state
officials are now awake to the nee
essity of an action in the court I
believe the merger is illegal and pre-
dict court action will be successful"
Congressman Pittenger's recent adj
dress before Congress on the merger
question is attracting much attention
throughout the territory served by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
ailroads. In this speech he called at
tention to the fact that the merger
would result in many people being
thrown out of work and that many
railroad employees would lose their
jobs. It was learned today that the
entire Minnesota delegation in Con-
gress has tackled the merger problem.
