FAIRMONT BOY FACES
SERIOUS THEFT CHARGE

George Eckmann, 21-year-old Fair
mont youth is serving a forty day
Jail sentence on a charge of drunk
enness and faces a serious charge of
automobile theft, which may mean a
penitentiary sentence.
The car in question was owned by
County Commissioner J. C. Musser.
One of the Musser boys parked the
car on North avenue on New Years
day and upon returning, he found the
car had vanished. He started search
and soon found it near the armory.
Surmising that the guilty party was
at the dance going on in the armory,
he decided to wait. Eckman soon
came out to the car and was imme-
diately captured and placed under ar
rest by young Musser. He plead
guilty to a charge of drunkenness
and was sentenced to rerve forty days
in the county Jail. If Mr.. Musser de-
cides to press the charge of taking
the auto without his consent, things
look pretty serious for young Eek
man.

FIND PEAT VALUABLE
AS LITTER FOR BARNS

Peat has proved very satisfactory
as an absorbent and deodorizer in
the dairy barn at North Central Ex-
pertinent Station at Grand Rapids
where it has been used for several
years. 1t has been found very effec-
tive conserving bedding and saving
the liquid manure, which contains
about 80 percent of the nitrogen and
70 per cent of the potash excreted
from the animal body.
Now peat is being tried out in the
stations swine and poultry depart
ments, several inches of dry peat be-
ing placed in the sleeping quarters
for the swine and the poultry pens
and then covered with straw. Thus
far, the results have been fully as
satisfactory as in the dairy barn.
The pens and sleeping quarters are
exceptionally free from moisture and
cold floor drafts, the station reports.
Little labor is required in the pre-
paration of peat for bedding, accord
ing to the plan followed by the sta
ton, which is as follows: An area of
drained bog is stripped and plowed in
July or August and left to dry. When
the furrow slices are sufficiently dry
the peat is pulverized by disking on
a dry, windy day. The dry peat is
then hauled to the storage houses.
Any storage facilities that will keep
the peat dry are adequate and need
not be expensive.

ANNUAL REPORT
BOY SCOUT AREA
A Total of GIG Scouts in A
Troops in This Area
September 80

According to the report of Scout
Executive George E. Section, OF the
Minnesota Valley arear of the activi-
ties during the past fiscal year,
which ended Sept. 80, 1929, there
were A Boy Scout troops in the area.
The leaders numbered 1O1. The total
of GIG scouts were divided as fol-
lows: Tenderfeet, sol; second class,
1877, and first class, 1873.
The data concerning the activity of
the scout executive during the past
year, together with office reports are
contained in Mr.. Sections summary
of the years activity and is interest
ing.
1t is shown that the scout executive
travelled 22,927 miles from Oct. l.,
1923 to No. /, 1929 Thirteen thous-
and letters were written and dis
patched from the area headquarters
office at Mankato. In addition there
were 1920 Monograph sheets print
ed at the area headquarters. There
were aga junior troop leaders and 7O1
adult leaders in training sessions dur
the past year. Ninety-one scouts
were in attendance at the Red Cross
Life Saving class. There were 4O,286
in attendance at dinners and conven-
tons, and 1922 attended court of
honor meetings. There were 1,728
spectators at Scout booths at seven
county fairs.

RABBIT HUNTERS NEED
NOT HAVE LICENSES

No hunting license is necessary to
shoot rabbits or crows, it has been
pointed out recently by county oftic-
ials. Last year it was necessary that
one carry license even to hunt
rabbits, but it is said that at the last
session of the legislature this was
changed, and now the law provides
that license is necessary only where
protected game is being hunted.
The end of 1929 brought to a close
two hunting seasons in this state.
The season on wild duck, goose, coot.
NILSSON snipe and gallinules ended
December 81, and that on gray or fox
squirrel closed January |.
Those wishing to do any fishing
now must have new 1880 fishing Ii
cense, as it is unlawful to fish or hunt
in 1880 on licenses issued in 1929.
These licenses are now on sale at the
office of the county auditor and at
his sub-agencies in the various towns.

GETTING CHAFF IN WOOL
is COSTLY MISTAKE

Farmers might as well throw away
20 per cent of their wool as to allow
the f1eeces to become filled with chaff,
seeds and burrs during the winter
according to H. G. Zavoral, extension
livestock specialist, University Farm,
st. Paul, who says that too much wool
in Minnesota is being discounted be-
cause growers do not take sufficient
pains to keep the fieeces clean. Wool
containing foreign material has to be
put through an extra process Tor
cleaning which, according to wool
buyers, costs approximately 20 per
cent of the value of the wool, or from
five to eight cents pound.
When such feeds as hay, straw and
oats are thrown over the sheep, chaff
and bulls fall into the wool. For this
reason, feed and bedding either
should be provided while the sheep
are away from the barns or racks, or
else care should be taken not to carry
or throw the hay or bedding over the
backs of the animals. Racks for
feeding roughage should be construc-
ted with the sides vertical instead of
sloping. If racks slope in at the bot
tom, the roughage will be eaten from
the bottom of the rack, causing chaff
and dirt to sift down on top of the
animals.
Another practice to be avoided is
that of allowing sheep to roam
around hay or straw stacks. These
suggestions apply particularly to
farms on which large numbers OF
sheep are kept. Where only few
are kept as scavengers, it may be
preferable to allow them to run at
large and take a somewhat lower
price on wool rather than to go to the
extra trouble necessary to keep the
fieeces clean.

ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTY.
GETS CONFESSION
FROM YOUTH

Assistant County Attorney John
Fordyce was successful in securing a
signed confession from Wayne Lowell,
23-year-old youth, being held in New
Ulm on charge of issuing checks
on bank where he had no funds.
In the questioning of Lowell last Sat-
urday afternoon, Mr.. Fordyce got the
young man to admit that he wrote
and signed all of the checks given to
local merchants and also the one de-
posted at the Citizens State Bank.
The check deposited at the Citizens
State Bank of New, Ulm was for $57
to be drawn on bank at Pierre, s.
D., and was signed by ]. H. john
son. The check was returned to the
local bank. The young man is being
held in the county Jail while further
Investigations are being made in the
county attorneys office.

BEDTIME ROMPS BAD
FOR CHILD'S SLEEP

Daddy's evening romp with the
kiddies may be rollicking good time
for all, but it is apt to interfere with
the children's bedtime and leave them
in an overstimulated condition that
is detrimental to proper sleep, says
Mrs. Belle o. Fish, child development
specialist of the agricultural extern
sion service, University Farm, ST..
Paul, who is herself the mother of
several children.
To great extent, the child's habits
of sleep are the result of training,
Mrs. Fish says, and there are sever
al good reasons why the young child
should be in bed at an early hour:
The evening hours with their dark
ness are more conducive to good sleep
than the morning hours with daylight
and household activities going on.
The child who goes to bed at seven
probably will sleep as late in the
morning, as the one who goes to bed
at nine.
The evening should be time of re-
Taxation and recreation for adult
members of the family. Activities
which are relaxing for parents, such
as music, conversation and laughter,
are stimulating to the child.
The rhythmic nature of sleep MAX
es it necessary that bedtime and nap
hours be kept strictly. If the child is
allowed to stay up one evening, or is
taken to town one afternoon, it will
have difficulty in falling asleep at
the regular time the following eve
ming or afternoon.
In order to establish an early bed
time habit, set a certain hour and
then hold to it strictly. With most
children it is easy to establish good
habits if they get satisfaction from
doing the thing wanted. When the
child shows desire to help undress
himself, he should be encouraged.
He will often entirely undress himself
II given enough time, and being al
lowed to do this will be all the in
centive needed to start him off to
bed. A little later it may be neces-
sary to provide new incentive. The
bedtime may be looked forward to as
time for stories and songs of
quoting nature. After putting the
child to bed and being sure that all
his needs are attended to, leave him
and do not respond to calls or re-
quests, Mrs. Fish advises.

Alfalfa Stand Is
Hard to Secure
Hardy Northern-Grown Seed
Should Be Used to In
sure Crop.

Since alfalfa has greater money
value than almost any other crop
grown in Colorado, careful attention
should be paid to getting and keeping
a good stand suggests Alvin Kezer.
agronOmist for the Colorado agricul-
tural experiment station.
Use Northern-Grown Seed.
A good stand of alfalfa, according TO
Kezer, should be obtained by using
only hardy nGrthern-grown seed.
Experiments conducted by the Col
orado experiment station with over
225 variety and regional strains OF
alfalfa conclusively prove that alfalfa
produced from sOuthern-grown seed
produced in Argentine. New Mexico.
Arizona, Oklahoma or other Southern
sections is not adapted for our eli
matte conditions. 1t may live through
mild wiT 'ers but is sure to be killed
In severe and dry winters. Snow pro-
lection will often enable a tender
alfalfa strain to pass through win
ter, but il is sure to be caught the
first dry cold spell.
Only hardy, vigorous, northern
grown or native grown seed from old
fields should be planted. If alfalfa is
planted after small grains. no seeded
needs to be prepared if the grain stub
bic is in good shape, clean and prop
erly ;veled. Seed drilled into such
stubble has very good chance of
making an excellent stand. However,
most farmers want TO grow some kind
of crop TO reduce the cost of estab-
fishing an alfalfa stand. That can be
done by seeding barley or wheat or
oats with alfalfa.
Seeded With Small Grain.
When small grain is seeded with the
alfalfa the small grain should only be
planted at about one-half the normal
rate of planting, about 80 pounds of
barley. about 1850 pounds of spring
wheat and about 40 pounds of oats.
After planting, light. frequent irri-
cations are desirable until the alfalfa
is thoroughly established. Ii seldom
pays to try to thicken up thin stands.
Usually it is cheaper and better to
pillow up and reseed when stands be-
come thin.

Good Supply of Water
Essential for Bees

Bees require a constant supply of
water in the near vicinity of their
hives. If a regular source of water
is not readily available to the bees,
the beekeeper should provide this. A
barrel of water, placed in the bee
yard, will answer the purpose very
well. Cork chips should be placed on
the surface of the water TO prevent
the bees getting drowned.
The barrel should be filed from
time to time as the bees feed this
water to the young brood. If water
is not provided in this way, the bees
may become a nuisance at well or
drinking trough for live stock on
nearby farm.

FarnHHl,tr.

The market discriminates very Sc
verely against ram lambs and against
lambs that have not been locked.
These operations are simple and easy
if done before the lambs are three
weeks old.
Skim milk contains practically all the
food value of whole milk except the
butterfat. 1t is an excellent feed for
growing calves, growing and fattening
pigs, growing chicks, fattening poul-
try and laying hens.
Root crops which include such vege-
tables as beets, carrots, turnips, win
ter radishes, and things of that sort,
should be dug in the fall some time
after mid October, or just before the
weather freezes up. Nearly always
these vegetables keep better In the
ground than they do outside. How
ever, carrots sometimes tend to rot be-
fore digging time and in such cases il
is better TO have them out Of the
ground and placed In storage. :

Formula to Follow in
Fattening Live Stock

DO you know how much feed is re-
quired to finish carload of livestock?
The United Staes Department Of Agri-
culture estimates that an average will
be as follows:
Cattle: LOO bushels of corn, 10
tons of alfalfa and five tons of straw
will fatten 20 steers weighing $50
pounds, causing them to gain $50
pounds in $50 days.
Hogs: 40 bushels of corn, $50
pounds of tankage will fatten 20 hogs
going from 100 to 200 pounds, to
make a carload.
Sheep: GOO bushels of corn and II
tons of hay will fatten $50 lambs
weighing ~ pounds each to make
them weigh so pounds and double
deck carload.

Birds Named Themselves

The peewee named itself by it's cal,..
and bob white wrote its name into
his greeting. By his call. the cuckoo
has made himself an international
character, while the chickadee has
individualized itself in its utterance.
When asked what's in a name, the
birds might reply: "We have put most
of ourselves into them, and they have
been most excellent advertising"

Potatoes Under Straw

II is true that potatoes can be sue
cessfuIly grown under cover of
straw. The function of the straw is
TO keep down the weeds and keep the
soil cool. Potatoes do hest in a cool,
moist soil. While the method has been
used occasionally by various people,
il has never come into general prac-
tice which indicates that farmers as a
rule get better results from planting
in the regular way and following
standard cultural methods.

Effective Fly Sprays

Fly sprays are numerous and all
have their value. A good one will
relieve the animals even if it does not
offer complete immunity. The repel-
liant should be put on with pump
that has pressure enough to make the
spray stick A mixture free from I'M
pleasant odor is preferable. and if it
does not gum the animals coat it is
still more desirable. Keeping the stable
partially darkened will make the spray
more effective.
