TWO VICTORIES FOR
LOCAL HIGH QUINT
Defeat Sleepy Eye and Morton;
Will Play Fast Gaylord Team
Here Friday

Coach Ken Stockton's high school
basket ball team will attempt to
gather the third victory in eight days
here, Friday night, when Gaylord in
vades Redwood Falls after having de-
feated Sleepy Eye Friday and Morton
last night. The Gaylord quint is
among the leaders of the district hav-
ing dropped but two contests and is
figured as one of the biggest threats
in the coming tournament. This
town, always a hotbed for winning
teams, has been a constant threat to
Redwood hopes in recent years.
Friday night the Red and White
team won from Sleepy Eye at that
place, 26-17 in a contest featured by
the play of reserves. Wyman Corbett,
a recent addition from the junior
high squad led the scoring for Stock
tons team with four field goals, all
scored in the first half. Johnny
Finn and Ward Cuff played the floor
we'll and gave material aid in the
scoring end.
With the reserves leading 14-1O at
the beginning of the fourth quarter,
Stockton inserted T. Finn, Arnett,
Bravinder, johnson and Laidlaw and
the game quickly turned into scor-
ing fest with both teams hitting the
basket regularly.
Cuff and Corbett were again in the
starting lineup in last nights game
here against Morton and took an
active part in the 24-8 victory for
Redwood. T. Finn and Arnett form
ed the backbone of defense that
smothered the Morton squad and al
lowed but two field goals. Ortiz, Nor
ton center and captain, was held to
a solitary goal but sank three out OF
six gift attempts. Tom Finn led the
scorir,, for Stockton's men with four
field goals and free throw closely
followed by Johnson who rang up
four baskets from the field. Neither
Bravinder or Laidlaw were used but
will be ready to start against Gay
lord, Friday.
The Junior High squad kept pace
with the seniors by trimming Sleepy
Eye juniors 1916 and Morton second
team here last night "a. The sharp
shooting of Wally Lauterbach. a
pocket-edition forward, who scored
three field counters in the second
half, won the Sleepy Eye game while
the scoring was evenly divided in the
Morton victory. Morton held 40
lead at the end of the half but the
entrance of George Discher into the
game in the third quarter was the
signal for a Redwood rally which
ended with Wally Lauterbach scoring
a basket and a free toss and Brand,
Discher and Jack Lauterbach chalk
ing up basket apiece from the
floor.

SEED TREATMENTS

Will Tell Continued Story on
Why Every Farmer Should
Be Plant Doctor

Why every farmer needs to be a
plant doctor and know something
about preventive medicine" as ap-
piled to the control of seed-borne dis
eases which reduce the yields and
quality of his crops, will be brought
out in strikingly clear and inter-
esting manner on the Minnesota Seed
Special train which will be at Red
wood Falls on Wednesday, March 5.
The train will arrive in Redwood
Falls at 7:45 o'clock in the morning,
and remain until 11:45 a. m. A meet
ing will be held at the Armory at
$50 a. NJ, will be followed by demon
western tracks.
An entire car will be devoted to
exhibits on seed treatment including
charts, pictures, illuminated slides,
seed treating equipment and other in
formative devices so arranged as to
be easily and quickly understood. R.
c. Rose, plant disease specialist of
the agricultural extension division,
University Farm, st. Paul will be
along to explain seed treatment and
answer questions.
Meet These Gentlemen
The seed treating exhibits will be
arranged in continued story" form,
featuring the haphaZard crop grow
ing methods on "Mr. Slim Chance" as
contrasted with the safe, sure meth
DDS used by "Mr. Art Sure" One of
the panels will show how losses from
smut often reduce yields as much as
Is per cent in oats, or five per cent
or more in wheat and barley.
Another panel will make it clear
just why smut spores on kernels can
not be detected by sight and neces-
state careful treatment of the seed
every year to make sure no infection
is present. The inside workings of
the tanning mill will be shown on
large colored chart, which will ex-
plain how this machine aids in smut
control by blowing the smut balls out
of seed grain.
Simple, inexpensive homemade
equipment which can be used success
fully in applying the liquid Tornado
hyde treatment to kill smut spores
on seed oats will be displayed on the
car, while the methods and equipment
needed for the busting treatment
recommended for wheat and other
grains will also be portrayed. A
chart dealing with the hot water
treatment will explain this method as

only effective one for controlling
loose smut.

and so will the Queen, at the Lions
Winter Carnival which will be held
at Lake Redwood next Saturday af-
ternoon and continued at thetarmory
in the evening, where the King and
Queen will be crowned and receive
their awards. Not only will the King

Dog Race on Lake
In the conducting of the dog derby
it is requested that all participants
be on the ice at the Lake not later
than 2 p. M, when the entries will
be received by the Committee, and
starting position awarded. On ac-
count of the uncertainty of the num-
Der of starters it has been decided to
hold one race to which all will be
eligible, the only restriction being
that only one dog can be entered by
each entrant.
The race will be approximately one
and one-half miles and will start at
the Lake, and then up the river for
approximately three-quarters of a
mile, where flag will be placed and
in charge of a judge, and the turn
there made.
All dogs must be harnessed, and
draw sleds, but there is no restric-
ton as to the kind of harness or sled
used.
The committee will not permit any
of the participants to use whip in
the race, or commit any act which
will tend to cruelty. Intentionally
permitting dogs to fight without US
ing every effort to avoid it or any
unsportsmanlike conduct will dis
qualify participant. 1t is the de-
sire of the sponsors of this derby to
have it clean, sportsmanlike and en-
pertaining, and the public is asked as
we'll as the contestants to assist in
this matter.
Will those who have dogs which
are not to be entered in the race
please leave them at home, or have
them under leash at all times, and
assist in making this the first dog
derby, a success. If it is conducted
Clearly, all will enjoy it, and it will
continue to be an annual affair each
year. The race is open to all resi-
dents of Redwood County and adj
joining Counties, and if only two
dogs are present when the race is
called, it will be started.

DECLARES
WAR ON ALL WEEDS
County Agent B0vee Appeals
to Farmers of Redwood COun-
ty to Kill Weeds

Redwood county is about to declare
war on weeds again. There is no one
phase of the agricultural program
for the average farmer which is so
important as weed eradication. The
1929 results were good, generally,
but in order to show real progress
over period of years, each years
program should be little more COM
plete than the one before, stated
County Agent Bovee.
The 1880 plan is to organize every
township with one man on each sec
ton who will keep informed as to
weed growth on that section. This
man can keep in touch with his town.
ship chairman. The only problem is
to find enough men who will. volun-
teer to watch the weeds on his Sec
ton.
Each township chairman can make
a good report of his township if the
men on each section keep him inform
ed. This will tie up the organization.
All the program needs is SO volun-
teers from every township.
The weed eradication movement
will be discussed by Mr.. Hammer
beck from st. Paul, at the outlook
meetings in Belview and Lamberton
on February Ii and IA.
In view of the rapidly increasing
menace of the Canada thistle, and
other weeds, would it not be a good
plan for the people +, help cut down
the grain surplus by summerfallow-
ing the bad weed spots? Good sum-
merfaIlow will kill any weed by starv-
ing it to death. The increased return
during the following years will more
than make up for the loss of one
years crop. stated the County Agent.
