BEST TO MAKE COWS
KEEP OFF THE GRASS

Keeping the cows off the pasture
until the grass gets good start is a
precaution which E. A. Hanson, dairy
specialist of the agricultural extern
sion service at University Farm is
urging upon Minnesota dairymen at
this time. Although the early grass
is very succulent and appetizing. it
has much less food value than older
grass. Furthermore the sod is soft
and the tramping of the cows may do
more damage than the feed which
they would secure is worth. Turning
them out too early may ruin the pros
poets of a good pasture for the Ell
tire summer.
Until the pasture is in good condi-
ton. Mr.. Hanson advises keeping the
cows in the yard and feeding them
the usual winter ration. Even if the
herd does go on pasture, he says, it
is poor policy to cut off Immediately
the hay and other dry feeds. These
should be continued until the grass
reaches the stage of growth when il
has plenty of substance. At that
time, cows that are not milking
heavily may go without roughage or
grain, but the heavy producers should
still receive grain at the rate of about
one pound to each six or eight pounds
of milk.
Mr.. Hanson suggests mixture of
corn, barley and oats as very sat-
isfactory pasture supplement. Corn
and cob meal may also be used, while
for Northern Minnesota conditions a
mixture of equal parts of barley and
oats is good. The grain ration may
he reduced somewhat if a good grade
of roughage be fed along with it.

STATE FAIR SELECTED
FOR BIG JERSEY SHOW

Jersey cattle breeders of IL states
will center their attention upon the
Minnesota State Fair this year, since
the directors of the American Jersey
Cattle Club announce that the club
will have one of it's four regional
Jersey shows in connection with the
Gopher fair, August 80 to Septem-
Der 6. Special premiums totaling
thousands of dollars will be given.
H. R. Searles, extension dairy spe-
cialist of the University of Minnesota
who is assisting with plans for the
event, says this show will offer an
exceptional opportunity to Minneso-
ia Jerseymen, not only to compete
for prizes, but also to see many in
ternationally famous Jerseys which
will be entered from all parts of the
country. The total Jersey exhibits
at the fair, he predicts, will be at
least double what they have been in
former years.
That interest in Jerseys is increas-
ing is shown by a recent statement
of L. w. Morley, secretary Of the
of 55,374 Jerseys were transferred
trations of Jerseys during 1929
reached a total of 1861, and a total
Of 55,374 Jerseysw ere transferred
to new owner during the year. Dur
ing the past five years total registra-
tions showed an increase of 344 per
cent over the previous five years. We
estimate that here are now over 10
million Jerseys in the country.

CORN BREEDERS REVEAL
DOUBLE-CROSS METHOD

"Double-crossing" may be frowned
upon as a social or business practice,
but as a method of corn breeding it
is decidedly advantageous and seems
destined to revolutionize seed corn
selection and production. Though
the double-cross plan of corn breed
ing, scientists at the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment Station have
produced strains of corn which under
actual field conditions are capable Of
yielding nearly Is per cent more than
Rustler and Minnesota No. 13, at the
same time maturing earlier and more
uniformly.
Crossing, as the corn breeders use
term, means simply cross-pollina-
tion-using the pollen from plants OF
one variety or strain to fertilize the
ears on plans of another strain. The
double-cross method of seed produc-
ton involves three distinct steps:
First, inbreeding for several genera
tions to produce inbred or SEIZED
lines that will breed true. Second,
crossing or cross-pollinating these in
bred lines to produce first-generation
crosses. Third, crossing first-genera-
ton crosses to give second-genera-
ton or so-called double crosses. The
double crosses are the seed which
farmers may use for growing their
acreages.
All of the crossing is done by arti-
ficially controlled pollination, the
purpose of the whole process being
to control inheritance of the corn
plants just as the livestock breeder
controls inheritance in his animals.
An interesting new bulletin entitled
"Double-Crossed Corn in Minnesota"
and prepared by DR.. H. E. Brewbak-
er and DR.. F. R. Inner tells all about
this process in an understandable
way. Write the Mailing Room, Uni
versity Farm, ST. Paul, for free

WELL ROTTED MANURE
HELPS GARDEN GROW

One of the best means for pep
ping up" the garden is an applica-
ton of we'll rotted barnyard manure.
A. E. Hutchins and DR.. F. A. Krantz,
vegetable and horticultural special
lists at University Farm, advise this
as the first step toward getting the
garden ready for planting. When the
ground is dry enough to work, it
should be disked thoroughly so as to
incorporate the manure with the soil
otherwise, the manure will lie at the
bottom of the farrow.
The disking should be followed by
blowing at least five inches deep. If
possible, there should be a second
disking to fill up the air pockets left
by blowing. A thorough narrowing
after - second disking is important
to provide mellow soil, free from
Jumps and well smoothed.
In choosing new garden spot, the
horticulturists suggest that a per-
manent location should be selected to
permit enriching it annually and to
provide for such perennials as
rhubarb, asparagus and horseradish.
The garden should be near the house
for easy accessibility both for taking
care of it and for getting vegetables
from it. 1t should not be near shade
trees, however, as the tree roots Of
ten reach out beyond their branches
and rob the soil of plant food and
moisture. Above all, good drainage
is absolutely essential as no garden
crop will thrive in water-soaked soil.

Foreign Experts To
See Minnesota Roads
Engineers From Many Nations
Spend Several Days in State
Next October

Minnesota's reputation for pioneer
work in highway planning and en-
cheering, the many construction
problems offered by the states var
led topography, and the great varie-
ty of the states resources and indus
tries, are some of the reasons why
delegation of highway engineers and
officials will visit the state this fall
and why they will spend more time
here than in any other state.
The tour will follow the Sixth In
ternational Road Congress, to be held
in Washington, D. c., Oct. 6 to H..
Nearly 800 delegates, representing Sc
nations in Europe, Asia, and North
and South America, will attend. At
the close of the meeting they will di-
vide into three groups. One of them
will come by train - Chicago, from
where they will travel by bus through
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan,
spending one or more days in each
state.
The tentative schedule calls for
four days in Minnesota. Starting at
Duluth, they will go over the Iron
range, down over trunk highways 80
and Is, past some of the Ten Thous-
and Lakes, through the Twin Cities,
and throuh the rich agricultural re-
ions to the Iowa line.
The men will be primarily inter-
ested in highway problems and the
route will afford chance for inspec-
ton of all types of road, old and new
pavements, bituminous roads, gravel
roads, roads in level prairies and
among high Bluffs, roads through clay
and sandy soils and through timber
and swamp. Advance requests have
been made for detailed data and costs
of construction and maintenance and
the durability of various types of
surfacing. All this data will be pre-
pared and furnished by the Minneso-
ia Highway department. In spare
time they will visit some of the iron
mines, ore docks, the State Univer-
sity, the State Capital, and various
industrial points.
A second group will study highway
construction and traffic in the more
densely populated states of the East,
and third group will make a trip
through the southeastern states. All
of them will meet at Detroit for a
tour of the automobile plants.
The tours are being arranged by
the Highway Education Board of
Washington, D. c. A representative
of that body spent several days in
Minnesota last week, comforting with
c. M. Babcock, commissioner of high
ways, and others, relative to the tour
through this state.

PAVING SLEEPY EYE-NEW
ULM ROAD TO BEGIN

The Woodrich Construction Com
pany of Minneapolis has been award
ed the job of paving Trunk Highway
No. Z between Sleepy Eye and New
Ulm and preparations for the work
were begun this week, some work
along the highway having been done
already.
The latest type of paving machine
has been purchased for use on the
job, which, in all probability will be
started about May Is.
There will be three stock piles of
sand and crushed rock along the
route, one at either end of the work
and the third at Essig. Crushed
limestone from Minneapolis will be
used, and the sand will be shipped
from Mankato. From 35 to 40 men
will be employed and from 10 to Is
trucks will be used in hauling opera
tions.

SAYS GOOD FLAX SEED
is STILL AVAILABLE

Lack of seed need not deter Min
nesota farmers from planting flax
this spring, since plenty of good seed
is still available in North Dakota, ac-
cording to A. c. Army of University
Farm, farm crops specialist for the
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
Station.
"The seed supply was not so great
in Minnesota as in North Dakota at
the beginning of the season." Mr..
Army says, "and the continued de-
mand has reduced it so that little
more is available. However, farm
ers desiring seed may get in touch
with North Dakota growers who have
it for sale, by writing the Seed Lab
oratory, North Dakota Agricultural
COLLEGE. Fargo, and asking for a list
of seed fax growers.
practically all of the seed has
been certified by North Dakota state
officials and hence there need be no
hesitancy in purchasing it," Mr.. Army
advises. preference should be given
to seed of the Buda or Bison variet-
les. with those of Linota and North
Dakota Resisten next"
Prospective flax growers who
have not received copy of "Flax
Facts" Minnesota extension bulletin
1913, may secure one free from their
county agent, or by writing the Mail
ing Room, University Farm, st. Paul.
This booklet gives timely advice on
the flax situation and detailed in
formation on the growing and handl-
ing of the crop.

There is bill before the New Jer-
sey legislature for tax on billboards.
The proposed tax is three cents per
square foot, and the regulation there
of is vested in the State Highway
Department. Considerable unfavor-
able comment has been heard
throughout the country with regard
to billboards cluttering up the land
scape to the disadvantage thereof.
The tax will cause the owner of
billboards to pay for the privilege.
In addition the money that flows
from the tax will be used to build
and maintain highways. The New
Jersey plan with regard to billboards
seems to be good one.-Brown

BRIDGER. ROBBED
!, LAST EVENING

At late hour last night, rob
bers broke into the Continental
Oil company service station in
Bridger and stole five-gallon can
of oil. In making their getaway
from the town the robbers stole a
car belonging to Dr.. ]. E. Midget,
of that city, and left town driving
across the M. w. S. tracks south
of Bridger. Shortly !after leav-
ing there a tire blew out on the
bandits car and they were thrown
into the ditch, doing considerable
damage to the machine.
Sheriff John Albert and County
Attorney E. P. Conwell left the
county seat at an early hour this
morning to visit the scene of the
crime 1t is not known as yet
whether the thief or thieves were
apprehended.
This is the second robbery that
has taken place in Bridger this
month; the first being May 7, when
a robber stole an automobile in
that city. At that time officers
showed remarkable ability in ap-
pretending the thief, placing him
under arrest the day after the rob
berry.

BUSY WEEK FOR
FIRE Department

The Red Lodge fire department
has had a busy time this week hav-
ing to answer three alarms in the
past few days.
The first fire was Saturday eve
ming, and was a shack that some
boys had built on the side hill west
of town. The second fire was at
the A. J. Downward home, 318 South
Hauser avenue, and when the fire
department got there they found
that an electric light wire in the
dwelling part of the house had
short circuited and started a small
blaze, which was quickly extin-
guished, doing practically no dam
age at all.
The third fire was some trash
that was behind a barn at 10 South
Hagin avenue. The debris became
ignited and the flames spread up to
the rear Of the barn. The fire was
quickly extinguished by the fire
men, the only damage done was to
char. the rear of the barn.

POPPY day sales :
SHOW increase

Having sold the entire quota Of
peoples that were given them the
American Legion Ladies Auxiliary
reports that they could have easily
sold 200 more peoples this year.
The amount of peoples sold shows
a considerable increase over the
number sold last year and the lad
les report that they received APP
proximately SIS more this year
than they did last. The total a.
mount received is a little over $50.
The sales averaged more than 20
cents per poppy.
Of the $50 received for the pop
pies in Red Lodge, $25 of that sum
will be kept in this city to be used
for welfare work among the dis
abled soldiers that are here. The
balance of the amount is sent to
the national headquarters Of the
Auxiliary and will be used thruout

tribunals where this country would
have one voice in more than fifty
in determining questions affecting
our national peace and welfare.
The reasons behind this effort to
involve us in foreign leagues and
tribunals are business reasons.
They grow out of the fact that
American international bankers
and industrialists have invested
abroad, especially in Europe, bill
lions of dollars which might better
have gone for the development of
the United States. Their hearts
have followed their treasure into
foreign lands. Meanwhile the vast
resources of states like ours re-
main undeveloped for lack of cap
ital.
The purpose of these interna-
tionalists is to pool American cred
it with foreign credit to stabilize
foreign countries fin order that
American international capitalists
may exploit European countries
and people for their own profit,
and for the opportunity to do this,
they are willing to sacrifice Amer
lean interests and safety and ex-
pose the youth of Montana to the
danger of being compelled to fight
foreign wars to protect invest
ments abroad.
/ am in favor of friendly cooper
alton with other nations, to reduce
ornaments within the border line
of safety, and for other mutually
helpful purposes. But I am not in
favor of sacrificing the Monroe
Doctrine or submitting any other
question involving our just nation
al interests to any foreign league
or tribunal for settlement. For
us to submit such questions as the
Monroe Doctrine, immigration and
tariffs to foreign adjudication is to
imperil our prosperity and safety.
Back of all this movement to
involve us politically in the Eur
opean system is the plan Of our
international bankers and indus
trialists to bring the American
standard of wages and living down
to that Of Europe, Asia and South
America, and thus to reduce our
farmers and workers to the same
status of peasantry they occupy in
most Of the rest Of the world. ]

ing abroad must not be protected
by the sacrifice Of the life and
treasure of the millions Of Ameri-
cans who are content to contribute
to the prosperity of their own
country, rather than engage in for

in on them at our expense.
