All Potatoes Oxford for
Sale in State to Be Graded
New Law Makes Grading Compul-
sorry In Order To Ship BY
Truck Or Train

One of the laws passed at the re-
cent legislative session will be of
much interest to potato growers,
as it provides for the grading of
potatoes. This law provides that
after September potatoes cannot
be shipped either by rail or truck
by any person except the grower
unless these potatoes are graded
and tagged to show the grade. The
grades established conform to the
u. s. Standards.
The law further provides than in
the six larger cities of this state,
no dealer or retailer can sell po-
tatoes in closed packages unless
these packages are branded or
marked to show the grade.
In all cases, the growers Of pot
tatoes are exempt from the provis-
ions of the law, and they can sell

until shouldering is completed.
All contracts for shouldering
now contain provision that the
pavements shall be kept open to
traffic during the shoulder grad
ing work. Formerly most Of these
contracts provided that the road
be kept closed to traffic until the
date provided for the completion
Of the work, and it was only when
the contractor failed to finish the
job on time that pavements were
opened before shouldering was
completed. Usually it was difficult
to enforce orders to keep the pave.

open for people who lived on that
route, there was surprising num-
Der Of people who said they ''lived
here.
Every year when new pave
ments are opened, there are a
number Of speeders who want to
see what the old bus can do and
usually there are several serious
accidents shortly after each new
stretch of pavement is opened"
Mr.. Babcock says Instead Of using
new pavements for speedawys, mo-
florists should drive at less than
ordinary speed. Pavements with
out shoulders are dangerous, and
pavements with new, soft should
ers are almost as bad.
"Pavements are never intended
to be speedways anyway. The per-
son who feels that he must hit top
speed and see what his machine
can do, is usually safer on a good
gravel road than on pavement.
The gravel roads are wider, and US
ually carry less rattle.
1t Is always possible to cover a
lot Of milage on paved road with
out going at excessive speed, be
cause it is possible to maintain
uniform speed. Paved roads are
uniformly good, all the way and
every day. 1t is not necessary to
speed to make up for lost time"
About 80 miles of the 1881 pave
ments have already been opened to
traffic, and some will be opened
each week from now until the end
of the construction season in
October. Each stretch will be
opened as soon as tests show that
the concrete has acquired
strength sufficien tcttrao
strength sufficient to carry the
load. Flagmen will warn drivers

shoulder grading is in progress.

chimney becomes a real person to
him. In fact when we say nature
Smiles" after a rain, or that the
leaves whisper in the forest, we
are using phrases that bark back
to imaginings begun in childhood.
The mother may greatly add to
or detract from her children's
sense of comradeship with her by
the value she puts on Imagination.
If we enter into the child's play
with him, we double the enjoyment
he gets out of it. If we respect
his request not to sit on a chair
where his imaginary guest is sit
ting, we are adding to his fun at
no expense of time or material to
us. The mother who thinks it Is
silly to humor her child's fancy,
has forgotten her own childhood.
Until he is about five years old,
the child does not realize that he
is imagining. Often these highly
imaginative tales of the child are
misinterpreted by the parent or
teacher, who, having hard and fast
notions of right and wrong, can
not appreciate the child's point of
view.
The adult does not realize that his
way of looking at things is the re-
suit of years of experience with
those facts. The mother who is at
a loss to know what to say to her
six-year-old when he announces, II

very clear ideas of number, and
that he is asking only for appre-
citation of his ability as a hunter.

foot, the bran being carried in q
bucket or sack and broadcast from
the hand, much as grass seed is
sown. 1t should be thrown with q
snap Of the wrist in such a way
that it will separate into flakes as
1t falls. Throwing it into or cross
wise with the wind also helps in
this. If large areas are to be cover
ed, it may be broadcast from the
rear Of light wagon or from an
automobile, or the mash may be
fed slowly into the hopper Of an
engate seeder.
twenty pounds Of the prepared
mash to the acre Is about the right
amount for an ordinary infestation.
This means only few flakes to the
square foot. Spots where grass
hoppers are densely massed should
receive a heavier APPLICATION. One
hundred pounds of bran should
make enough mash to treat 10 to
IL acers.
What Is the Best Time to Put
Out Grasshopper Bait?
The best time of day to scatter
grasshopper bait is when the grass
hoppers first become thoroughly
warmed up and are actively NOV
ing about. This is generally be-
tween 8 and II a. M, but varies
according to the weather. In ex-
tremely hot weather scattering
should be begun by Z a. m. Grass
hoppers do not feed well during
cloudy or windy weather and bait
should never be put out under
these conditions or at tempera-
ture below 70 or above 80 degrees
r.
1t is well to bear in mind that
campaign against grasshoppers
must be started early in the sea-
son and not later, when grasshop-
pers are half or three quarters
grown. Early application of poi
son bait if properly applied will alb
solutely clear up an infestation.
Danger
Arsenic is q deadly poison and
great care should be taken to keep
livestock away from stored poison
bran mash or from barrels or tubs
in which mixing has been done. If
scattered in flakes, there is no
danger to livestock or birds, but
if allowed to fall in large Jumps,
serious results may follow.
Community Action
Sometimes a grasshopper infesta-
ton is local, perhaps on one farm.
More often, however, it cover a
larger area and then organized
community action is necessary. The
county agent Is the man in touch
with the situation and should be
chairman Of an organization to take
charge of the work. The Division
of Entomology, at University farm,
with its staff will be ready to help
at any time in the perfection of an

ity infested.

FEATURES Of INTEREST to WOMEN
Social Events
Grevious Error Corrected

ASNkOoo SOIINStC0
In its write-up of the marriage o.
well known and highly respected
young people from the Elrosa st
Martin community the Herald Of
last week made a grevious mis-
take in the spelling of the bride
1t was spelled Theresa Spaeth'
when it should have been spelled
Theresa Speldrich." The correct
ed story is published herewith:
A very pretty wedding was
solemnized at st. Peter and
Paups church at Elrosa Tues
day morning, June %, 1881,
when Miss Theresa Speldrich,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. JOS.
Speldrick, well known residents
of the Elrosa community, be-
came the bride of Alfred JAG
obs, of st. Martin. Rev. FIR.
Luethner, pastor Of st. Peter
and Paups performed the cere-
mony.
The brides gown was white
satin, floor length, trimmed
with lace; the bridal veil was
held in place by a wreath of or
ange blossoms. She also wore a
beautiful diamond crystal neck
lace, gift from the groom.
The bridesmaid was Miss
Mary Jacobs, sister of the
groom, who wore a gown of yell
low chiffon; she carried a
wreath of gladiolas. Miss Lii
liam Smith was the maid of hon
or. Her dress was green chif-
fon; her flowers were bouquet
of gladiolas.
John Speldrich, brother of the
bride, was the best man.
The bride entered the church
lead by two little flower girls to
the tune of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march played by the
church organist.
Following the ceremony there
was a largely attended recep-
ton at the home of the brides
parents. Dinner and supper
was served to many relatives
and friends. In the evening
there was a largely attended
dance in the hall at Elrosa.
The bride was born, reared
and grew to young womanhood
in the Elrosa community. She
is deservedly popular with
those who enjoy her acquaint-
ance. The groom is prosper

New Pavements Will
Be Opened Promptly
DetOurs Not to Be Used During
Shouldering; Careful Driv-
ing Urged

A warning to motorists to drive
carefully on new pavements, was
issued this week by G. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways. The
warning is specially timely this
year due to the new rule of the
department that all pavements

crete is cured, instead Of waiting

+, or ship their product without re-
striction Of any kind. Buyers, COM
mission houses, and wholesalers,
however cannot deal in ungraded
potatoes. It is expected that grow
ers when marketing their potatoes
direct will follow the grades as
established, as the trade will de-
mand the standards which have
been set.
The enforcement of the new law
Is vested in the commissioner of
agriculture. He has until Septem-
Der 1 to arrange a system of in
spection at the potato shipping
points. The legislature made no
provision for this work, and it is
certain to prove a big job. as all
shipments will have to be inspected
after grading and the retail stores
in the six larger cities also will
have to be inspected to see that
the law is being obeyed.
For many years there has been a
realization by growers that Minne-
sofa potatoes were not bringing as
high price as the product from
other states in the larger central
markets, and it is generally admit
ted that this difference was due to
the lack Of grading Of Minnesota
potatoes. 1t is the purpose Of the
new law to overcome this difficult
ty, with the theory that If a sack
of potatoes is branded ''U. s. No. 1"
the price will be the same whether
they were grown in Minnesota or
some other state. 1t will probably
take some time for the new system
to get well under way, and it
should work out for the benefit of
the grower.
The ideah as been advanced that
only graded potatoes should leave
the farm, keeping the culls for
feeding or other purposes. BY
keeping low grade potates off the
market, 1t should tend to stabilize
the price Of the better grades
which are offered for sale a
smaller quantity Of high grade
stock should bring a better return
than a large quantity Of medium
or lower quality.

grades will be found In full in
