TWO YEAR SEARCH
FOR WATER ENDS
Securing Water Had Been Pro-
blem Tor Past Two Years
in COmfrey Village


After months of discouraging eff
forts to obtain a satisfactory village
well, the Comfrey village officials, as
we'll as the citizens in general, are re-
joicing over the fact that an abund-
ance of splendid water has been Sec
ured and an enduring village well has
been obtained. After attempts had
been made to dig two wells, the city
council decided to abond the use of
well machinery, and turn to pick and
shovel. The well dug proved to be
successful, and the water question
was finally solved. The water is
clear and pure and inclined to be soft.
The first real we'll that Comfrey has
had. The shortage of water last
winter was serious condition, not
only from the standpoint of fire pro-
lection, but to citizens, the schools,
garages and all who depended on the
village we'll for their water, for at
that time water could not be obtain
ed.
The first well dug, in 1928, was
sunk to depth of 1,133 feet, 961 feet
being through solid rock, and work
on the well continued for over a year.
During that tive, the village officials
were forced to the expense of clean
ing out the old well in order to fur
nish the village with water in the in
term. No water was obtained, and
the we'll was abandoned.
A ten inch tubular well was then
put down and at depth of about 40
feet a vein of water was touched, but
of not sufficient flow to meet the
needs, so the search for strong
vein was continued, and a depth of
113 feet a strong vein was located.
While strong flow of water was
in evidence, the casing was soon fill
ed with sand and gravel, and the
well was soon abandoned.

EARLY SPRING is BEST
FOR SEEDING LAWNS

Lawn seeding time for Minnesota
is almost at hand. L. E. Longley of
the division of horticulture at Univer-
sity Farm says that the best season
is from as early in the spring as rne
ground is fit to work on up until
about the middle of May.
In regard to the kind of seed, Mr..
Longley says that Kentucky blue
grass is still the standard variety,
although red fescue and bent grass
have their special uses. Kentucky
blue grass does well on a wide variety
of soils but is not so well adapted to
light dry soils. Red fescue is better
adapted to lighter sandy soils and
will do better in shady places than
will the blue grass. Bent grass is
also adapted to lighter, more acid
soils.
Since most lawns have varied con-
dition, mixtures of seed usually are
best as they provide different kinds
of seed for the different conditions.
Another reason for mixtures is that
IL Is OlLcIl ucSlIdUlC W nave d grass
or clover that will cover the ground
quickly and act as a nurse crop for
the permanent grasses.
To obtain blue grass lawn, Mr..
Longley recommends the following
mixture:
Kentuck blue grass 80 parts
Red top -------------2 parts.
Perennial rye grass IL part.
White clover ----------1 part.
Three or four pounds of the above
mixture should be used for each
1000 square feet of lawn. If red
fescue lawn is desired, fescue may be
substituted for the blue grass in the
mixture and four or five pounds OF
seed used per 1000 square feet, be-
cause the fescue seed is coarser.

MEATPACKERSPA|D
TOO MUCH FOR HOGS
Declare 40 Cents Per Share
Dividend Despite Assertion
Prices Too High

Chicago, Jan. 8.-R-Highcr prices
than supplies warrant were paid by
meat packers to American hog raisers
in 1929. F. Edison White. president of
Armour and Company, said today in
his annual report which reported
sales for the company again exceed
ing $900.000y000.
"A decrease in cattle supplies such
as had been expected came about in
1929 but the expected decrease in hog
supplies failed to materialize and, in
fact, turned to an increase" the re-
port stated. Thus the packing in
dustry paid prices for hogs which
were higher than were warranted and
the years operations in the pork end
Of the business were unsatisfactory"
Armour and Co. during the year
paid producers of livestock $287 ,O00,-
600 for cattle, $4,000 900 for hogs.
$54y 000,O 900 for sheep, $26.000,000 for
calves. and ST. 000. 900 for poultry and
dairy products, the report said.
Net earnings Of the company for
the fiscal year ended Nov. 2. 1929,
were $9.810,5l8 after all charges. CIV
ing the class A common stock 40
cents per share dividend.
