Field Crop Tour
is Well Attended
Agricultural Heads Speak at
Program, Seed Plots Are

The annual tri-county crop tour
sponsored by the Tracy Farmers

Murray and Lyon counties.
Starting at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing, the tour left the Farmers Eleva-

Horse Race Program
at Fair Announced

The program of races which will
take place this season on the improv.
ed Redwood county fair race track
was announced today by A. D. Nc
rae, speed superintendent.
Two hundred and fifty dollar purs-
es will be offered for each race ex-
cept Saturdays free-for-all where
$3.50 has been set aside. The 2:2O
trot and 2:15 pace have been SEIZED
uled for Thursday and Friday while
the free-for-all and 2:18 pace will be
run Saturday.
Fair dates have previously been
announced as September % to &c
with the first day billed as entry day
with a program of free acts and a
dance but no fireworks or horse
races.
The race track has been entirely
re-soiled and surfaced this year and
promises to be the fastest track in
Southern Minnesota. In 1929 the
state record for half-mile tracks was
made by that fast little PAGER, Billy
Mack, owned by Ben Morgan of
Toledo, Iowa, who made the mile in
the fast time of 2:061s. Doc. Byron
came back in 1880 and duplicated the
time with his horse Highwave, show
ing that the track was in good con-
dition before. The improvements
this year should attract other horse
men who are looking for a record
track.
Redwood Falls is gaining the re-
putation of always having fine
class of horsemen and we are look
ing for a return of some of the best
of them Sentemher "a to 26.

BUTTER CONSUMPTION
INCREASES WITH LOWER
PRICES, SAYS BUREAU

An increase in the consumption of
butter, particularly in European
countries, following the low general
level of prices is reported by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture, in its
July summary of world dairy pros
poets.
This increase is noted particularly
in Great Britain where the consump-
ton of imported butter for the pres
ent year from January to June Is,
was about 10 per cent more than for
the corresponding period of 1880.
Imports of butter into Great Britain
were 1913 per cent heavier during the
first five months of this year than for
the same period last year.

FARMER FEEDS HOBO,
THEN POUNDS HIM

A farmer who lives near st. Clai1
is wondering whether work is as
scarce as it is purported to be.
He went to Mankato to find mar
who would work through the harvest
on his farm. He was informed that q
supply of labor could readily be
found lounging along the curbs near
the Northwestern depot.
To the station the farmer went
Then started the quest for a hired
man. He asked the first one he came
to if he wantd the job with a salary
of $1.50 per day and board and room.
The Weary Willie didn't think he
wanted to work that day.
Down the line went the farmer,
asking each tired hobo the same ques-
tions and receiving the same answers,
sometimes with mere shrugs. The
tenth man interviewed said he would
work but
"Please, before we go out will you
take me to a restaurant? / haven't
had thing to eat all day."
Surely" replied the st. Clair man.
And the hobo followed the farmer to
a local cafe where the hungry one
proceeded to eat 70 cents worth of
food.
"Now," said the tramp, give got
to get my pack at the depot. There
are a few clothes in it."
"By the way" queried the hobo
after reaching the station, "How far
out is your FARM"
ct is near st. Clair" the farmer
answered.
"Well, bring it in to town and we'll
work it for YOU" Whereupon the
husky agriculturist from St. Clair
took one swing at his prospective
hired man. The man came up and
three more fast ones followed the
fist of the farmer to the jaw of the
hobo.
81 guess I've had my 70 cents
worth now," declared the enraged
farmer as he STROBE away.

While a bulk of the sales during
October were consummated in Cali
