That a larger diameter growth
is possible to obtain through the
application of thinning practices
is a conclusion drawn by the U.
s. Forest Service after studying
plot on the Prescott range.
Forest Service workers have
completed the field work on the
Prescott range after q month g
observation. The thinning plot
that has been used for the ex
periments includes four acres of
thinned trees and one acre that
is controlled.
The Improvement cutting dur
ing the month consisted Of re
moving wolf trees and of thinn.
ing out the heavy growth. It is
estimated that the tract now has
approximately 400 trees to the
acre. The fine mat of needles
ON the tract, the service main
tains, is a good demonstration
of what can be accomplished in
timber growth with proper care.
It is further pointed out that
soil protection is possible by
maintaining a fully stocked
stand.

University of Arizona-The
use of calcium chlorate as an
eradicator of the wild morning
glory pest is, except in very Ii
mited areas, an expensive lux
ury" according to County Exten
sion Agent, e. O. Turville, who
arrives ct his conclusions after
a years test of the chemical on
some experimental plots in va
vapai county.
The test shows that plants
we'll advanced in growth we're
more susceptible to damage from
the treatment than young ard
more vigorous plants, q greater
killing effect being obtained.
Limited observations show,
however, that the cost per acre
application is near 5000 which
would make the use Of the che
mical prohibitive except on very
small areas.
The number and the time of
application are said to be fac
tors which will bear further SUI
dy. Two treatments beginning
late ia the season were as salts
factory, apparently, as three ap
plications, the first of which was
applied a month earlier in the
season.
The growth appearing next
spring on the plots treated will
determine the net results.
It was determined that the use
of heavy building paper as a
smothering agency was not very
satisfactory. After ninety days
the weed was still! growing be

SINCLAIR LEWIS LAMENT
Minneapolis Tribune)

Sinclair Lewis speech of acceptance
of the Nobel literature award has no
novelty other than the particular
vehemence which the ruddy author
of Main Street" puts into his re-
marks on all and sundry occasions.
In brief, it is the shopworn complaint
that America is materialistic and does
not give sufficient thought to the
things of the spirit. The things of
the spirit in this particular instance
consists of literary activity. On other
occasions it is music, or painting or
sculpture.
We might as well admit that there
is truth to these charges, which were
made many times before the Nobel
award committee picked on Sinclair
Lewis as the object of largesse from
the dynamite makers estate. But
overemphasis of this truth certainly
carries it to the confines of false
hood. 1t might even reach the point
of denying any artistic merit to Mr.
Lewis because he is product Of
America, to say nothing of Sank Cen
ter. III America Is HOpeltSSly uc-
ficient in literary ability, as Mr.. Lewis
insists, we can hardly avoid the con-
clusion that he is receiving the Nobel
award under false pretenses. Wheth-
er or not he is an artist may be a
debatable question but there cannot
be any question about his American
nativity.
So backward as America may be in
artistic achievement, it can at least
produce a Nobel prizewinner for lit
erature in competition with Europe,
Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Anti
podes.
After all, there is something to be
said for materialistic America. We
have to go to considerable pains to
keep out the peoples from the more
spiritual countries of Europe who are
only too eager to quit their art gal
leries and historic monuments and
come here to partake of our flesh
pots. A country with 25,000,000 auto
mobiles may not have a Rembrandt

spent the past year at Denham and
Moose Lake, there meeting Mr.. Wes-

The bride wore gown Of autumn

The artistic snobbishness that turns
up it's nose at the materialistic
achievement of America is largely
swank. No artist really believes that
art is the first consideration of the
human race. First of all there is the
little business of getting enough to
eat, and even some very doubtful art
lists manage to eat in America, which,
as a matter of fact, is more than can
be said for artists generally in Europe.

might cite the case of Mr.. Lewis.

TO BEGINNER CLASS
OF THE ASKOV BAND

A meeting was held Saturday eve
ming in the town hall to talk over
matters in regard to starting new
class in the band. About 20 thought
they would be willing to join, but
when it came to the part of paying
$40 for membership some of them
seemed to become uneasy. The band
is hardly in condition financially to
take in members at less than $40,
and they can gladly let them in on
the time payment plan." We have APP
proximately $50 in the treasury now,
and we have about 10 instruments on
hand that can be used for begin
ners' class. Some of those who want
to join will furnish their own instru-
ments. Some of them will become
members in the place of some older
brother, their father who has died or
left the community or quit without
drawing his money from the band as
he is entitled to, and therefore we will
not receive any money from them to
buy instruments with.
The membership is SO when the
band furnishes the instruments, and
if you have an instrument or will buy
your own, it is SIS. The S. in either
case will be paid back if you resign
from the band. There will be month
ly dues of Csc to start with, perhaps
it will be raised or lowered. We have
not paid dues in the band for the last
two years, but before that the dues
was SOC month.
1t has been decided to meet at the
town hall Tuesday evening, Jan. 6,
at SIS, to discuss the matter further.
Hans Mosbak, treasurer, will receive
membership fees from new members
up to that time so we will have an
idea as to how much we can spend
for instruments, etc. No money will
be spent before that time and a re-
ceipt will be given for any money re-
ceived, so if no class can be started
you will receive your money back.
1t would seem better for the indi-
viduals who do not have the money
to join now, to try to make their own
arrangements for loaning as it will
be difficult to get anyone to invest
500 or more in the band for mem
bership fees.
If you have a will to join there will
surely be way. Come to the meet
ing January anyway and see wha
will be done about it.

FIRST ICE CREAM CONE

Millions and millions of ice cream
cones are being consumed this sum-
mer without anyone stopping to
think just how the ice cream cone
came to be. Well like many other
inventions, it was discovered more
or ISIS accidently. You may not be-
Heve it but this bot of straw wrapp-
ed around the bottom of a five cent
scoop of frozen milk did not make
Its appearance until 1904. The first
ice cream cone was made at the
st. Louis Exposition that year. It
happened this way. A young ice
cream salesman in the habit of
taking his 'sweetie" flowers found
it also convenient to take her ice
cream sandwiched between two
waffles at the same time. One day
this sweetie found herself without
a vase for her flowers. So she took
one of the waffle sides of the ice
cream sandwich, rolled it into a
cone shaped vase, then put her
flowers therein. Not only did it
severe as temporary vase but it
the idea for the ice cream
cone, so popular and convenient to-
day. One single company now pro-
duces more than 100.O00,O0 cones

vent such pitful mischances.

Butter Surplus
Now Being Sold
Axel MeyertOn Tells Members
OF Herd Association That
Market Will Rise

The dry season is performing one
good act, according to Axel Meyer
ton, formerly of Sank Centre, now
owner and manager of the Kimball
creamery plant, who addressed the
members of the Stearns County
Testing association Sunday after
noon at Pearl Lake, when they held
their first picnic.
The good act of the dry spell
comes through lack of pasture and
feed (which is causing a slump in
butter production and consequently
an invasion into the huge butter
, surplus now held in the United
States. Meyerton stated that the
surplus decreased 100000 pounds
during July alone, and that as a
result the butter market had gone
up five cents. In other words the
farmers will do less work for as
much or more money.
This will be good news to Central
Minnesota farmers who in most in
stances are well supplied with feed
and hay or at least have more than
the average middle west agricultur-
alist. Meyerton praised the objective
of the herd organization and said its
future was a great one because it
would gradually build up the dairy
cow into the most wonderful and
scientific production machine on
the farm.
Henry Brinkman, president of the
organization presided during the
meeting held after the noon picnic
dinner. J. L. Morton. who was prom
inent in Stearns county as a dairy
man of real merit, and who now has
one of the finest dairy herds in
Pope county, near Glenwood, also
spoke, as did a number of the as
