The Hay Situation

Questionnaires sent out some
time ago and returned indicated
that there was 1900 tons of sur
plus hay on about SO Of the u
farms reporting. A number of the
farms having larger tonnage did
not reply to the QUESTIONABLE, as
quite few of these have spoken
to the agent personally in regard
to the reply. At least the replies
received would indicate that on
the whole there is some surplus
within the county.
Information received from the
states about us in the Northwest
indicate that the stockmen are
just as short of cash or possible
credit, as the hay men are short
upon these things. One state re-
piled, that their main problem
had been that of getting hay pro-
ducers and stockmen together as
each felt that the other should
purchase his commodity. There
seems to be little doubt but what
the stockmen will winter through
on the least that he possibly can
because of the lack of finances
and what the winter will bring in
the way of hay demand will de-
pend upon the kind of a winter
we have.
Because of the general lack Of
finances on the part of both par
ties interested in feed, it would
seem a contract by which the hay
producer would feed for the stock
man or allow the stockman to
feed on his place, payment to be
made on the basis of gains made
and definite weighing in and
out price or upon definite price
per pound of gain. Contracts Of
this kind have been signed in the
valley heretofore and where the
owner of the hay has given care
full attention to feeding good re-
turns have been secured for the
hay and the fertilizer has been
available for use on the farm. We

EXPERIMENT STATION FINDS
GROUND WHEAT BETTER

The following article was clipped
from the "meat and livestock di-
gestD under the date of Septem-
Der. 1t would appear that evenwith
present price of wheat that the
gains due to planting and soak
ing might be justifiable if the
cost of grinding is not excessive.
At the present price of wheat it
offers one of the best sources of
feed for hogs and brood-sows and
they may be wintered through very
cheaply with ration of alfalfa
hay and wheat.
"In feeding wheat to hogs, it
pays to grind the grain and soak
it in water, according to tests at
the experimental substation at
North Platte, Neb. Mr.. w. p. Sny-
der, superintendent of the substa-
ton, points out that pigs gained
an average of 1.41 pounds per day
on ground wheat soaked IL hours.
The gain from whole wheat, fed
dry, was only 1.02 pounds per day.
A summary of the results of feed
ing wheat, rye and corn to boys
at North platte follows:
Ground wheat soaked IL hours,
1.41 pounds per day; ground wheat
moistened, 1876; shelled corn dry,
Ill; Whole wheat soaked IL hrs,
LOS; whole wheat dry, 1.02; whole
rye soaked IL hours, .88.
Ranked according to feed for
100 pounds of gain: Ground wheat
soaked IL hours, 418 pounds feed

believe, as we said before, that
this type of contract offers the
best solution to the present hay
and livestock situation. The farm
er would not get at least the
large part of the money out of
the hay until the livestock were
sold, but it would enable the
stocknan to feed without having
to arrange a large amount OF
credit.
The experiment station as Pros
ser reports that they have been
able to score on three months
feeding period on sheep with hay
and grain and silage. It would
look as though Gull potatoes
might be used to very good ad-
vantage in the feeding of sheep
this year. The Station reports
having fed them to good advan-
tage last year, having fed up to
pound per head per day in two
feelings.
We have letters out now asking
for different contracts and would
be glad to be of any assistance
that we could to anyone inter-
ested in this type of a program.
One, of course, would need feed
ing equipment and water avail
able. Feeding equipment for sheep
would be more expensive than
feeding equipment for beef stock.
Losses taken by feeders the last
two winters have rather made
the feeding situation one which
is questioned by quite a few.
However, on the right type of
contract, we believe that the hay
man, if he is at all favorably sit
uated, has a good opportunity to
get his money out Of his hay
through this method.

Thus blasting a popular summer

Authority on Spelling
of Geographical Names

The federal department which is
the final authority on the spelling
Of geographical names Is the Unit
ed States Geographic board. AS
far as Is practicable, the United
States Post Office department ac-
cepts the decisions of this board in
all its official spellings. In the
case Of Pittsburgh, Pa, the board
was first asked to pass on the cor
rect spelling in 1891, at which time
1t decided in favor of the spelling
"Pittsburg." This decision, howev-
er, met with a great deal Of oppo-
sition among citizens generally in
Pittsburgh, and in 1911 the board
consented to reconsider the case.
One of the deciding factors in the
final decision was the Original
seal Of the Borough of Pittsburgh"
which was struck in 1904, and
which was brought forward as evil
dence. The Geographic boards
final decision in 1911 reversed the
original decision. and established
Pittsburgh as the official spelling of
the name Of this city.

Moss Rose Legend

According to German tradition,
the legend of the moss rose is as
follows: "Once upon a time an
angel, having a mission Of love to
suffering humanity, came down on
earth. He was much grieved at all
the sin and misery he saw and at
all the evil things he heard. Being
tired, he sought place to rest, but
as it Jared with his master, so it
Jared with him, there was no room
for him, and no one would give
him shelter. At last he lay down
under the shade Of a rose and slept
until the rising sun awoke him.
Before winging his flight heaven
ward, he addressed the rose and
said that, as 1t had given him shell
ter which man denied, 1t should re-
ceive an enduring token Of his love,
and so, leaf by leaf, and twig by
twig, the soft moss grew around
the stem, and there 1t Is today,
cradle In which the newborn rose
may lie. proof of Gods power
and love-"

The free tourist camp Is one Of
several tented villages that will
spring up at the State Fair. An
attraction Of the Boy Scout Camp
will be a real Indian village with
native tepees. The second annual
Boy Scout Camp and Indian Village
will be conducted by Region Ten,
comprised of Scouts Of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, eastern
Montana and northwestern Wiscon-
sin. There will be demonstrations
of whistle drills, fire by friction,
first aid, tower construction and
signaling, rope making, baking
bread on a stick and other Boy
Scout activities. Indians in native
dress will appear in tribal dances
and ceremonials.
Another prominent educational
feature Of the Fair will be the Farm
Boys Camp, where two farm boys
from each Minnesota county who
have made outstanding records in
All Club work will live during Fair

American Family Names
Doomed to Extinction

Any American who wants to per-
petuate the family name has small
hope of success unless he can give
his family more fertility in the
male line than is true Of average
Americans.
Figures for male and female
births and Deaths" says DIR. 3. q.
Free in Weeks Science, from the
United States census make 1t pos
sible, the statistical department Of
a life insurance company Of New
York city points out, to calculate
the chance that any family will
have male descendants of the same
name In the first generation, the
second generation, and so on as far
as one carries the calculation.
Even in the first generation
there is only little more than an
even chance that the name will sur
vive, for about half of the children
born to the average family are girls,
and not enough boys are born to
make anywhere nearly sure that
the family name will be carried
over.
Among the grandchildren there
Is only about one chance in three
that the name still will persist.
Among the great-grandchildren the
chance falls to not much over one
in four.
by the sixth generation there is
but one chance in five that the
original family name still will be
In existence. On this basis more
than four-fifths of the families that
settled in colonial America already
should be extinct, which is prob
ably fact. After a thousand
years or so more than 80 per cent
of the family names will lie gone"

Deaths From Heat Rare,
Medical Experts Declare
Heat Hysteria Called Cause Of Hot
Weather Collapse by Mime
sofa Doctors

st. Paul. July 27-"It isn't the
heat, it's the stupidity"
Education committee members of
the Minnesota State Medical Assoc
citation agreed heartily with the
above current wisecrack today in
the matter Of deaths and prostra-
tions from summer heat.
Very few deaths are due to heat,
these doctors agree.
Many prostrations, on the other
hand, are due to a hysterical fear
of what the heat is going to do, and
might be avoided IL people could
make up their minds to be calm
and take things easy.
Heat prostrations and deaths re-
ported in the newspaper during
summer heat waves should not be
taken too seriously" says this bull
letin. In the majority of cases 9TH
er disorders, such as heart disease,
are at the bottom of the trouble.
Persons with constitutional di-
seases Of any sort, particularly eld-
erly persons, should stay out Of
the sun and avoid all unnecessary
exertion in hot weather. Everybody
else should keep mentally cool, at
least, and remember that heat Is
uncomfortable but very seldom fat
al.
"a little good sense and careful
management should get everybody
safely over a Minnesota heat wave"
Careful management means eat
ing lightly of meats and starchy
foods which produces energy, the
bulletin says; wearing light clothes
and taking things easily.
An electric fan set next to tub
with a cake of ice in it will cool
any room enough for comfortable
sleep.
