Whole Acreage for Twenty
Years Materially Increased
Federal Reserve Report Shows Az
erage Size of Farms Smaller
in State

Averages in eight principal crops
in the four northwest states of
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Montana increased 49,
723,OO0 acres during the 2O-year per-
iod from 1910 to 1880, although
wheat planting during that time
increased but 2,S7O,0OO acres, &C
cording to a compilation today by
the Federal Reserve bank of Min
neapolis.
Wheat production in Minnesota is
on a definite decline. On the other
hand, paintings and production of
major feed crops, corn, oats, barley
and tame hay, is advancing.
In 1910 Minnesota produced 64,-
100000 bushels of wheat on 4,000,-
900 acres. It's farm value totaled
$50, 100000. Last years production
totaled 19,944,00O bushels from l.
$4,000 acres. The value to the
farmer totaled $2O,941, 900.
Minnesota increased its planting
of corn, however, from 100000
acres in 1910 to 4,253.OO0 while the
yield increased from &c, 1850 BUSH
els to 148,855,O bushels. Barley
acreage increased from 1,285,000 to
100000 and the production ad-
vanced from 26,985, 900 bushels to
SO, 100000 bushels. In 1910, 1877, 900
tons of tame hay were produced n
1,797,000 acres in Minnesota, while
in 1929 this state produced 4,457, 900
tons of tame hay on 2,499,000 acres
of land, the report showed.

TwentyPayers Sign
For Positions ON Team
Donald Hanson and Arthur Weisner
Appointed To Attend League
Meet in Long Prairie

Twenty men have applied to Don
aid Hanson for positions on a Sank
Centre baseball team as result of
the story published in last weeks
Herald. Attempts are being made to
enter the o. T. w. League, an Or
ganization sponsored by cities and
villages of Otter Tail and Todd
Counties.
1t has been proven that there is
no dirth of players in this COM
munity. Among the twenty appli-
cations there are two pitchers and
good catcher. with plenty of other
good players to fill the bases and
fit field positions. With the mater
ial at hand it is thought that Sank
Centre could have an all-home team
as good as any in the league.
The matter was taken up before
the American Legion Monday even
ing, and although that organization
has not agreed to sponsor the
movement, yet they have appointed
Donald Hanson and Arthur Weis-
ner to attend meeting of the
League members and officials to be
held at Long Prairie April 10th.
This project will also be brought
before the Community Club at a
later date. Interest in a baseball
team for this city is quite keen and
although the organization is quite
remote. yet it is possible that, with
proper backing it can be put over.

Chicken Brooder Causes
Expensive Fire on Farm
Paul Ritter, Residing North of CITY
Loses Farm Machinery and
Couple of Buildings

Saturday at 1:30 P. NJ, the
brooder room and log building on
the Paul Ritter farm nine miles
northeast of Sank Centre, Highway
2S, used as feed grinding room
was discovered to be on fire. The
flames quickly spread to the ma
chine shed in which was stored all
of the machinery.
The buildings on fire were quite a
distance from the barn but within
IS feet of the house.
Neighbors quickly assembled and
a call was sent to the Sank Centre
Fire Department who responded
promptly with a dozen men and the
new fire truck.
1t was evident almost from the
start that the machine shed and
log building were doomed and eff
forts were concentrated on saving
the house and contents. The work
ers succeeded in saving the home
and contents.
In an interview with the Herald
editor Monday Mr.. Ritter said he
was quite certain the fire was caus-
ed by the chicken brooder which
operates with a kerosene burner.
He fed the chickens in the brooder
room about one-half hour before
the fire was discovered and there
was no evidence of fire at that
time
His loss is partially covered with
a policy carried in the Melrose
Farmers Fire Insurance Company
Mr.. Ritter does not contemplate
rebuilding until after the spring
work on the farm is cleaned up.

Community Club VIII
Entertain the Farmers
Meeting Will Be Held Thursday
April 24-GoOd Speaker Will
Be Secured

At a meeting of the directors of
the Sank Centre Community Club
last evening plans for the next
monthly meeting was discussed.
At the March meeting it was
voted for each member of the Club
to invite one farmer friend to at
tend the April meeting as his
guest.
At the directors meeting last eve
ming it was decided to issue an in
vitation to all farmers residing in
the territory adjacent to Sank Cen
tire to be the Clubs guest at the
next regular meeting.
In view of the fact that the date
of the regular meeting Thursday,
April II, came in Holy Week, and
also because many of the farmers
would be busy seeding it was voted
to postpone the meeting for one
week, Thursday, April "a.
A good speaker will be secured.
There will be some music and a
light lunch will be served.
1t is the wish of the Community
Club that every farmer avail him
self of the invitation to be the
guest of the club on this evening.

and friend.-Osakis Review.

county World war veteran, missing
nearly 10 years, has been located in
a veterans hospital at Sheridan,
Wyo., it was revealed today. He is
Paul P. Bienek, son of John Bic
mex, Two Rivers.
Steps to transfer him to the hos
pital at st. Cloud were taken today
by Austin L. Grimes, Little Falls
attorney, who solicited the aid of
Representative Harold Knutson in
making the change.
Records of Bienek's war service
are not available here but he is
known to have suffered disability.
Returning home after the war, he
stayed but a short time, and went
west, where he joined the army
again in California, according to
