Minnesota Forest Fire
Peril Passes for Year
State Official Says Danger is Over
Unless Unforeseen Accident
Starts Blaze

st. Paul Sept 2-Danger point in
the Minnesota forest fire menace
has been passed and the north
woods will be safe for the remain
der of the summer, unless some
unforeseen accident causes another
serious conflagration, A. F. Opel,
state forester said today.
Most all the fires in northern
Minnesota have been extinguished,
he said. Those that are not thor
oughly out are being worked on by
rangers and fire fighters, who are
busy hopping up the smoldering
areas.
The rain fall over Sunday that
drenched the timber lands was re-
sponsible for the present safe con-
dition of the forests, Mr.. Opel
said. The rain not only put out
what fires were raging but ended
the severe drouth that had kept
the forests as dry as finder for the
last month.
Unless some careless camper or
berry picker allows his camp fire
to burn unchecked" Mr.. Opel said
there is no reason why the Mime
sofa woodlands should not 60
through the winter without another
serious fire."

Narrow Escape From
Death in Auto Collision
Ford Sedan on Pavement Hit in
Rear Without Warning Tues
day Evening

Tuesday evening as John McDer-
mond and Miss Leola Spray, were
sitting in Johns Ford sedan park
ed on the pavement in front of the
Joseph Robinson home on South
Main street, with the lights on,
the sedan was hit, without
warning, in the rear by fast NOV
ing Oldsmobile sedan driven by
Norman Mcclure, Minneapolis
bond and insurance salesman, who
makes this city at regular intervals,
it is understood.
The Ford was struck with such
impact that it was forced over the
curb and came in contact with a
large tree in the boulevard in front
of the Robinson home.
At the time of the collision Mr..
McDermond and Miss Spray were
sitting in the front seat of the
Ford. After the accident was over
they were in the back seat. Neither
was seriously hurt; the ladys
head struck something and she has
a stiff neck. John was uninjured.
How they escaped being killed or
seriously injured is one of those
unaccountable miracles that hap
pen once in a while.
Johns car which is year old,
is pretty badly wrecked and the
Oldsmobile looked like a battle
SCARED veteran when the cars
came to a standstill once more.
Mr.. Coure also escaped without in
jury.
It is understood that McMcCoure
assumes 100 per cent responsibility
for the accident. He told a Sank
Centre business man Wednesday
that he was well acquainted with
former mayor, L. w. Whitson; that
as he came up the pavement he saw
Lynn's car standing in front of his
home and that he wondered if Lynn
was still up. The next thing he
knew was the shock of the col
lision.

Organization Necessary for
Relief of Agriculture
Legge Says Agriculture, as Indus
try, Will Get Equal United
States Consideration

Syracuse N. Y. Sept, "A dist
met step forward has been made
by agriculture, said Alexander
Legge chairman of the federal farm
board in an address here today in
securing recognition of the fact
that agriculture as an industry is
entitled to the same consideration
at the governments hands as other
industries have received.
Perhaps the soundest advice we
can give to agriculture is contain
ed in the one word organize he
said speaking at the New York
State farm bureau meeting at the
State Fair.
Property organized, I cannot see
any reason why agriculture might
not go farther than industry, mas
much as most of your products are
consumed every day and several
times a day, and the consumption
must be fairly continuous if we are
to live.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty
we have to contend with in accom-
plishing results under the terms of
the agricultural marketing act is
the rather prevalent belief on the
part of the people we are trying to
serve that some mysterious way is
going to be found where, through
legislation action, the handicap un-
der which agriculture is suffering
will be removed and their position
made secure without any action on
the part of the farmer himself"
This, he said is a dream that would
not come true,
Speaking of condition in the east,
Chairman Legge said:
I'm the earlier months Of the
federal farm boards activities we
used frequently to hear it said that
the farm board could do little If
anything for the farmers in the
north eastern area. Nothing could
be farther from the facts. Finan-
cially aid has extended to II diff
ferent classes of agricultural prod
