Cass Lake, Mimi, April 1.-THE
annual Onslaught" on maple trees

scores of Indians living in the Cass
Lake district has started.
With Indian ingenuity the Chip
pewas are busy at the sugar har-

Sex Equality May Have It's
Drawbacks

A suffrage" movement in Penn
sylvania may soon place female
deer on an equal footing with males
in the eyes of the law.
For many years the does were
protected from hunters in that
state, while the manly bucks bore
the brunt of the sport. Then ex-
perts discovered that the deer la
dies had increased so greatly as to
overshadow the bucks. They were
crowding available ranges with
"old maids" eating the woods bare,
and in many instances even sprout-
ing antlers.
Special open seasons on does
were declared, but until recently
sportsmen were too chivalrous to
approve of these.
Now the Pennsylvania Game
Commission has introduced a bill
to give does official equality" ac-
cording to reports to the Ameri-
can Game Association. 1t would let
sportsmen hunt the females as
well as the males during the same
peon seasons, but would also auth
orize the commission to close sea-
sons on either sex at will, for the
sake of keeping a proper balance
between the two.

One Minnesota institution which
has made a brilliant record In
service to the public is the Univer-
sity Department Of Agriculture,
which includes the Experiment
Station; the College of Agricul-
ture, Forestry and Home Eco
nomics; the School of Agriculture;
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, and the Short Courses. Here
are just a few of the things this
institution has done, as outlined
by w. P. Kirkwood, University
Farm editor:
Investigated the distribution Of
soil types in the state so that any
farmer can determine with COM
parative ease the fertilizer needs
of his fields.
Helped to make corn the crop
king of the state, through the de-
velopment of early-maturing var
ieties, thus contributing enormous
ly to the growth of the states live
stock industries.
Given the state immensely valu-
able new varieties of field crops: A
hardy winter wheat improved
spring wheats, with increased re-
sistance to rust; three high-yield-
ing disease-resistant varieties of
oats; two smooth-awned varieties
of barley, which have helped to
make Minnesota the Unions lead
ing barley state; wilt-resistant
varieties of flax.
Developed an interest in Grimm
alfalfa as variety peculiarly
adapted to Minnesota's climate,
and solved problems in relation to
other including sweet clover and
soybeans.
Bred and developed new varieties
of fruits which are putting Min
nesta in the fruit belt of the ma
ton: two varieties of red raspber-
ries which are outstanding the
country over; a long list of hybrid
plums comparable with those of
California; the HARRISON and the
Folwell apples; strawberries, cur
rants, and many others.
Developed new varieties of po-
tatoes which are still being i'm
proved, but which give promise of
displacing present commercial
varieties with something very
much better.
Pointed the way to, and in part
provided the means for, the re-
storation of the states forest re-
sources.
Developed control methods for
many plant diseases which reduce
farm returns.

at a profit for others who would
undertake the venture.
The sugar sells from at 20 to 40
cents a pound, with the total
amount produced by the Indians
estimated to be worth half of the
stumpage value of timber sold last
year by the forest service.
The maple sugar industry never
has been undertaken on a large
scale in this section of the country,
the business, however, being on a
large scale in the New England
states.

Lindbergh said the flood waters,

said he and Mrs. Lindbergh were
deeply moved at the sight OF ref

VALLEY FRUIT
May MOVE OUT
IN MESHSACKS
(By Staff Correspondent

SAN BENITO. Sept. a. SO
popular have Forida's ten-pound
sacks OF citrus fruits become that
some Valley shippers have already
ordered supplies of sacks although
official sanction for their use has
not been granted.
Railroads are expected TO publish
new tariff provisions soon, how
ever. to permit shipments in this
type container and the u. S. Dept.
OF Agriculture, which maintains a
Mexican fruit worm quarantine and
can regulate the types of contain
ers In which fruit moves, Is said To
have modification under advise
ment.
Varied Usage
The proposed bags are OF the
open mesh type with draw string
openings and which can be used as
grocery bags and other shopping
uses after the citrus fruit is re-
moved. Onions have been shipped
in containers Of this type holding
SO and 100 pounds for many years
and most of these bags are made
of twisted paper fiber.
II Is understood that chain
groceries are demanding this type
container for their t-ade. Stores
have a contract for Valley fruit
through the Texas Citrus Fruit
Growers Exchange and this CO.
operative Is said to be ready to
furnish fruit in these bags.
Mostly smaller sizes would be
moved in this manner. II Is stated.
The Florida Citrus Exchange
launched this form OF shipment
last season into nearby states in
order to cut down packing charges.
This movement for lie season
amounted TO approximately 1000
600 boxes out Of the IS, COO, 900 box
crop.
Lowers Costs
Some independents grabbed the
idea. and In every case the great
reduction in cost OF box, wrapper.
labelling. branding, etc. together
with a lesser freight carrying cost
prompted many packers to use up
the ordinary fruit in this manner.
The bags are sold by the retailer
without rehandling fruit and have
been received with mt fruit by
the consumer because they insure
greater quantity OF average fruit
at substantial savings In cost.
II average quality fruit OF small
er sizes Is shipped IN this manner
II would leave the larger and more
choice fruit for pacing in boxes
for the fancy trade and probably
bring higher returns.
Sentiment in the Valley was
against use Of bags last year but
due TO changed conditions and
competition it Is believed to be
favored this season although one
shipper told this correspondent he
would not resort to bags until
necessary.
