members with their feeding, breed
! ing and management problems.

FAILURE TO ALTER AND
DOCK CUTS LAMB PRICE

"Sheep raisers in the farm states
are again penalized for failing to
dock and castrate their lambs" says
p. A. Anderson, sheep specialist,
University Farm.
PACKERS refuse to pay top prices
on unaltered and unlocked lambs
when runs become sufficient so they
may fill their ORDERS" says Mr.. An
derson. Packers are now paying
one dollar per hundred less for these
lambs and are justified in so doing.
These lambs do not posses the same
condition and have not made the
same gains as wether or eve lambs.
'These bucky and long-tailed
lambs do not posses equal condition
and appearance compared with lambs
locked and castrated at the proper
time. Ram lambs running with other
lambs do not gain as well, and their
carcasses not only lack in finish but
are stronger developed in shoulder
and neck, consequently taking low
er carcass grade. Long-tailed lambs
are not only unsightly, but the &C.
emulation of filth is breeding
place for maggots causing extra
labor and often losses by death.
Sheep raisers, at present prices
or at any other time, cannot afford
to take a loss of dollar per hun.
dredweight," Mr.. Anderson declares
"These same lambs, if docked ant
castrated at the proper time, woulG
gain better and sell straight when il
proper marketing condition. Docl
and castrate lambs when two t.
three weeks of age and get top pric
es," he urges.

VOLUNTEERS SHOCK GRAIN
BY MOONLIGHT; HUN.
DREDS TAKE TO FIELDS
TO HELP FARMERS

gTo help farmers in the storm ares
salvage what grain remained in their
scattered bundles, hundreds Of Lyon
county business men went into dev-
astated fields last week to re-shock
oats, barley and flax
Torn and twisted bundles, blown
far and wide, were beginning to mold
on the under side and threatened to
spoil what little grain had not been
threshed out by wind and hail. Some
fields of barley were so badly pound
ed out that no attempt will be made
to pick them up before threshing.
Facing the immediate need of saw
ing what grain was left rather than
repairing buildings, many farmers
faced the prospect of having to re-
shock all of their small grain at once.
Throughout the storm area there was
scarcely a shock that was not badly
twisted, while on many places not a
single shock was left standing.
Plans were laid at a county storm
relief meeting in Marshall, Monday
night to send both volunteer and paid
workers into the fields. Virtually
every town in the county, and many
farmers not in the storm area, re-
sponded and sent out men to aid their
stricken neighbors.
Client sent out 10 men Tuesday
morning and had % in the field that
evening, while another big crew con-
tinued the work Wednesday and
Thursday. Tracy took care of the
devastated farms to the north of
that city. Minneota's shock troops
took the field Tuesday noon to the
number of more than 100.
Marshall sent workers into the
field during the day and that night
more than 80 business men and other
local resident went to the front. The
Civic and Commerce association,
Monday afternoon, appropriated $500
for relief work in the emergency.
Many workers were hired, though of
the transient labor of the city, only
four men could be induced to go out.
Outstanding among the volunteers
was the Rev. George Williams of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who
worked in the storm strewn field all
day, both Tuesday and Wednesday.
The volunteer army went into &C
ton like soldiers in battle. All
through the storm area, the volunteer
companies rushed to the front at first
opportunity and went into action.
Five to 80 men at place, they adj
vanced in waves on the tattered
bundles and shocks. Many of them
had never touched bundle of grain
before, their hands were tender and
their muscles soft, but they never
faltered. They were fighting for a
good cause and against a common
enemy.
Many of the Marshall shockers
continued the advance after the sun
had gone down, through the dusk,
and for an hour or more in the
moonlight, Tuesday night.
Leaders in the relief movement
continued to send troops forward
Wednesday and Thursday, and more
volunteers have been called for to
press the attack further.-Marshall
