Gigantic Cattle
Concern Formed
New Ulm Man and Associates
Buy 12,700 Acre Ranch in
South Dakota

Norman G. Warsinske, president of
the Minnesota Valley Livestock Co.
of New Ulm, together with several
associates from the West and East,
have recently organized the Flying
W" Cattle company, 100000 con-
Germ, which has closed deal for the
purchase of a 12,700-acre ranch in
Walworth County, South Dakota.
Mr.. Warsinske, accompanied by
Ray Swanson of Comfrey, returned
recently from motor trip to that
state during which time the deal was
completed. Immediate possession was
given the company, of which Mr..
Warsinske has been elected first pre-
sident. The ranch is the largest in
side of fence, in South Dakota.
Ideally Located
The property is ideally located on
the choice grazing section of north
central South Dakota, and has a six
mile frontage on the Missouri river.
Every acre of the vast expanse of
land is enclosed by a fence with a
total length of So miles. Some 500
acres along the Missouri river are
covered with heavy timber. The land
is very. choice, and there now are 400
acres of alfalfa, as well as 400 acres
of upland hay, on the ranch. .
5000 Cattle
At present, the ranch is stocked
with some 600 head of Angus cattle
and about 100 horses, used in farm
work and as cowboys mounts. The
new owners propose to increase the
number of cattle from $500 to 5000,
and expect to specialize in livestock
raising on large scale.
About 20 years ago, the thriving
frontier town of LIE Beau was located
on the ranch just purchased by the
Flying w" Cattle company. During
its palmy days, that was the western
terminal of the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis railroad, and the most extern
sive cattle shipping point in the
United States. All that remains to
mark the once fourishing community
is a small brick structure, which at
one time served as bank, and two
strips of concrete, that once repre-
sented sidewalks along the main
street.
During the World War, when steel
rails were so valuable, the M. & st.
L. railroad tore up some eight miles
of track, this side of LIE Beau, and the
village finally was abandoned.
While touring that section, Messrs.
Warsinske and Swanson found the
country west of the MISSOURI river
suffering from drouth. However,
along the Missouri river valley, corn
and other gowing crops look better
than in this section of the country.
Cattle and sheep were out on the
summer ranges and apparently doing
well

Is STATES ORGANIZED
IN BETTER SEED MOVE

Minnesota farmers are not alone in
the move to improve field crops and
promote better seed. Good evidence
of the interest being taken in other
states, as well as in Canada, is found
in the international Crop Improve
ment association, an organization re-
presenting twenty-five states and two
provincial crop Improvement associa-
tions. Ralph F. Grim, University
Farm, consulting agronomist for the
Minnesota Crop Improvement asso-
citation, is secretary of the Interna-
tional Group and has also been a di-
rector for several years.
One of the Internationaps big pro-
jects is the sponsoring of the Inter-
national Hay and Grain show each
year at the Chicago livestock EXPOSE
ton. Another thing it is working on
is the development of national trade
mark for seed that will be a sign of
purity and quality on the products
of good seed producers everywhere.
The associations new letter, just
issued by Mr.. Grim, reports splendid
progress in many states along the
lines of seed certification and the in
PRODUCTION of improved varieties. The
Minnesota section reports the intro
duction this spring of the new Minrus
oats and the distribution of seed corn
to more than 40 growers who are
producing double-crossed seed corn.

PIGS GAIN CHEAPER
WITH LOTS OF WATER

water, water, everywhere, and not
drop to drink" A. E. Engebretson,
extension livestock specialist, Uni
versity Farm, says this bit of poetry
contains tip for the pork producer.
In a letter to farmers enrolled in the
State-Wid Pork Production Contest,
Mr.. Engebretson cites the above line
from "The Ancient Mariner" and then
adds, Don't let your pigs get to
thinking that"
He says, water is important. It
will make the gains cheaper and GER
tainly doesn't cost you anything more
than the effort. A self waterer won't
break you up financially.
Ready made self waterers are fine,
but you can make inexpensive water
ers that will give just as good results.
Here is one idea. Place two or three
barrels on stone boat, connected by
pipes, with one or two waterers at
tached to the barrels. There are
other ideas just as good. Of course
you know that tomorrow" is always
the busiest day of the week, so don't
put this off,"

THIS IS A GOOD ONE

Here is good fish story from the
Springfield Advance-Press:
Fish stories have had their place
in the news columns for several
weeks, but none has proved to be so
interesting as this one-what's more
it's as true as they all have been.
Erwin Rainbow was fishing at Heron
Lake one day last week. He had some
mighty poor luck with hook he was
using. Having lost at least seven big
pickerel on this account, he decided
to grab the next one he caught with
his hand. He did. It bit him in the
hand between the fore finger and the
thumb so badly, that it was necessary
for a physician to take several
stitches.

ONE-LONG HOUSE HAS BEEN
IN "a STATES SINCE 1926

A comfortable two-room home has
been made by following out log
taken from a Douglas fir tree from
western Washington. The home is 8
feet in diameter and 16 feet long, and
has been made into a comfortable
two-room apartment with breakfast
nook, cupboard, wardrobe, two fold
ing beds, electric lights, oil and
an oil stove. The tree was 311 feet
high and nine feet across the base.
Its age, determined by the number of
annual rings, was 438 years. The

SWINGING END GATES
BANNED BY NEW LAW

Here is one new rule added to the
state traffic act by the last legisla-

be left hanging down or projecting

truck is being loaded or unloaded, ex-
cept when load extends beyond the
tail gate so that it cannot be closed.
The rule applies both when a truck
is being driven and when it is park

UNUSUAL GOODNESS
OF FAMOUS COFFEE
INTRIGUES EXPERTS
Find That Delicious Flavor is
the Result of Patented
Roasting Process

Probably no coffee sold today
has enjoyed the success of Hills
Bros. Coffee. Everywhere it has
been introduced it has become a
leader.
This popularity lies in the fact
that Hills Bros. Coffee has a deli
cious, uniform flavor such as no
other coffee has. While the rare
blend is partly responsible for this,
the patented process, by which it
is roasted, is one factor that has
made this matchless, uniform fla
yor possible in every pound.
Instead of roasting in bulk, Hills
Bros. roast only a few pounds at
a time. By this process-the de-
gree of roast, the continuous flow
of coffee through the roasters, never
vary. Hence the name of this proc
ess-Controlled Roasting.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills
Bros. Coffee. 1t is always fresh
because it is packed in vacuum
cans from which air, which de-
stroys the flavor of coffee, is taken
out and kept out. Ordinary cans,
even if air-tight, do not keep coffee
fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee
by name and look for the Arab
the trade -mark-on the can.
