The District Standings

Another week of intesive practice
has passed and soon the district
teams will be rounding into shape
which will aid them in making good
showings in the distant tourna-
ments. The standpoints are still
unsettled or iumbled with the
strong and weak fives not yet oc-
cupying their proper places. Be-
fore February rolls around some
Of the weak members are apt to
be shunted to the lower half of the
league. Upsala certainly has no
right to usurp second place nor
should Melrose be as low as four
teenth. So far, or rather up till
last Saturday, three teams were
still boasting of perfect records
while three others had yet to crash
into the win column. Three games
are still missing and but for these
the present standings are complete
Three teams have scored more
than 100 points with Long Prairie
topping the list with total of IA;
the Todd county quint also shows
the way in victories with 5, having
played in the most contests, T.
Swanville is close second with
131. Four teams have permitted
rival attacks to puncture their de-
lenses for over 100 points each.
Grey Eagle has allowed 174 mark
ers to 113 allowed by the Main
Streeters; Long Prairie has been
scored on 105 times while Brandon
foes have scored 102 tallies against
that team. Grey Eagle still has
accepted the most defeats. Mel
rose with "a has scored the least
points and Glenwood has allowed
only 81 pointers. Either Glenwood
or Parkers Prairie or maybe both
will be beaten by tomorrow night.
This is the way rank the teams
according to the strength they have
showed so far. 1-Parkers Prairie.

The Decentralization

AhS writer experienced poor
week in picking the winners in re-
cent games and is determined to
DO much better in the future. OF
the 10 games I called I guessed the
winner right in 5 of them with the
result of one of the contests still
unknown. Glenwood upset two of
my predictions by slaughtering APP
pleton % to 5 and by out-scoring
Melrose 81 to 5. Long Prairie spill
ed the dope twice by nosing out
Swanville Is to II and by subduing
Osakis % to 20. I had expected
Upsala to succumb to both Little
Falls and Holdingford, the respec-
tive defeats at the hands Of these
foes being 33 to Is and 40 to 10.
Swanville drubbed Willard 80 to 10
and Alex swamped Sank Centre "a
to 9. Parkers Prairie showed pow
er in frustrating Bertha "a to 16.
Three district battles and one
non-conference mix were slated for
Tuesday. concede Sank Centre a
handsome edge over Brandon and
Bertha should encounter little OPP
position from Henning which it
trounced IA to in a previous tus-
sic. Holdingford has never beaten
Melrose but favor them to turn
the trick. I also figured Parkers
Prairie was good enough to whip
Glenwood. Parkers Prairie dispos-
ed of Starbuck which in turn was
strong enough to drub Glenwood
twice. The Observation-Disclosures
fracas will furnish us with a COM
parison between Melrose and Grey
Eagle which lost to Holdingford 40
to IL.
Five league engagements are
carded for tomorrow night. Glen
wood meets Osakis in the head
liner and favor the former to cop
by an eyelash. Glenwood teams in
the past have woven magic spell
over Osakis winning several con-
tests by close margins. An Osakis
win hardly could be ~classed as an
upset. Another feature clash will
find Long Prairie and Alexandria
viewing for supremacy at Alex; this
game looks like a tossup but my
guess is Alex because that team
has habit of trimming Long Prai-
RE. The annual Melrose-Sauk Gen.
tire tilt is attracting a vast amount
of interest in these two Stearns
county cities and it undoubtedly
will rival the other two games in
the point of interest. Though this
contest may develop into a close
affair I choose Melrose to win with
something to spare. Melrose will
be bidding for it's initial district
triumph and inasmuch as they
made far better showings against
opponents than Sank Centre did
against foes not as strong, they
should be given an edge over their
most ancient rival even though
that auint should top them in the
standings. Henning should prove
too strong for Battle Lake which
lost the first struggle 30 to 49, Up
sala is picked to repeat its victory
over Grey Eagle. ne of the two

defeat of the season by suffering a

Alfalfa Seed Prices Favor More
Planting

With alfalfa seed much reduced
in price this should be a good time
for Minnesota Farmers to increase
their acreage, suggests DR.. Andrew
Ross, vice director Of the Mime
sofa agricultural experiment sta
ton. He says:
Farmers are being urged to de-
crease the acreage of cereal crops
and particularly Of wheat. A good
substitute for any of the cereal
crops on farms raising livestock is
alfalfa, grown either alone for hay
or in mixture with grasses for
pasture. Through the use of inocu-
lated seed and lime where needed,
1t has been found possible to grow
alfalfa successfully in all parts of
the state. When land is once infect
ed with the inoculating bacteria,
there is no more difficulty in get
ting stand Of alfalfa than in get
ting stand of the other clovers or
grasses.
mo other hay equals alfalfa for
feeding purposes and few crops are
better for swine pastures. It also
ranks high as a part of the mix
ture for pasturing other kinds Of
livestock. Three or four pounds an
acre, in mixture of timothy and
sweet clover, will give variety in
feed and increase yield. The rela-
tive prices of alfalfa and the other
clovers at this time favor the in
-
much larger seeding than has been
possible in the past on account Of
the high price of alfalfa"

Cotton and Its Future

An American crop of cotton Of 16, 900 bales of
pOO pounds gross weight is the forecast of the federal
crop reporting board. Texas is given a yield of more than
100000 bales. Mississippi lawmakers are in session.
Gov. Huey p. Long of Louisiana is in high glee. First his
plan was sandbagged and tossed aside by the Mississ-
ippi solons. Then the friends of the Long plan staged a
comeback. Now they are going to make a fight to put the
Long plan over in the house and send it back to the SEN
ate. Arkansas lawmakers adopted a concurrent resolu-
ton calling upon the governors of the cotton-growing
states to appoint legislative committee to meet jointly
and draft a uniform law to curb cotton production. Un-
der the terms of the resolution the legislatures of the
various states would be bound to adopt any plan approx
vote.
Well, the legislators of the cotton producing states
wouldn't do it in a thousand years. Really the cotton.
growing industry is in a bad way. Some say it is a result
of over-production. Others say it is the result of under
consumption. Regardless of what all say, the American
states have given to the world another bumper crop OF
cotton and should the same thing happen in 1882 poverty
ed at the conference of state ommittees by a majority
awaits an army of producers under Southern skies. Az
for the wheat farmers, they appear to be in the same
boat.
