Excerpts From The Herald
March Z. 1912

At special meeting, held Mon
day night, the Commercial Club
voted to finance a car load of po-
tatoes to sell farmers for seed. The
potatoes will be bought, shipped
here as soon as safe from frost, and
sold from the car on the track di-
rect to farmers. To have charge
of the sale and distribution of the
tubers a committee was named con-
sisting of K. A. Norson, J. B.
Schoenhoff, A. Butcher, Jas. Ingram
and s. T. Merryman.
It was an enthusiastic bunch of
farmers that gathered together on
Tuesday, Feb. 9th, to talk and lay
plans for a farmers creamery in
Westport. There was close to 100
men in attendance. They will be-
gin at once to haul ice and build
an ice house. They raised between
$1,000 and $500 at this meeting.
They have decided on a site one
fourth of a mile north of town
near Ashley Greek.
Tuesday was the eightieth BIRTH
day of Hon. Joseph Capser, of
Sank Centre. Mr.. Capser is one of
the heartiest young men of the
town. He has seen good many
winters and summers pass since he
first arrived here in the pioneer
days. but he fails to grow old.

Charlie Ruggles, the droll come

is expressed by r. r. Grim, ex-
tension agronomist, who says
guess work with seed corn Is
never safe and this of all years is a
poor time for farmers to take
chances.
The unusually long growing sea-
SON in 1881 aided Minnesota corn
to y mature exceptionally well
while the fall and winter has been
favorable for seed corn storage
These conditions, together with
the fact that no complaints have
been heard indicates that all is
well.
To insure against disappoint-
ment and loss, however, farmers
should make a sample test. Mr..
Grim suggests taking one kernel
from each Of several hundred ears
well scattered through the lot. The
representative sample thus obtain
ed may be tested by the rag doll or
some other simple method. For
this preliminary test it is not nee
cessary to keep tab on the diff
ferent ears. All kernels may be
tested together. If they terminate
80 per cent strong or better no fur
Their test will be needed. If not an
ear test should be considered.
Farmers may secure free a copy of
Minnesota Special Bulletin 125,
Seed Corn Selection and Ger
naination Tests" from their county
agent or high school agriculture
instructor, or by writing the Mail
ing room, University Farm, st.
Paul. This bulletin describes an
improved rag doll test and also
tells how paper towels or old news
papers may. be used in place of
muslin.
Careful watch should be kept for
molds that may appear during the
termination test, says DR.. e. c.
Stakman, head of the section on
plant diseases. When cold, wet
weather follows corn planting,
these molds are very likely to
cause the seed to rot before it has
a chance to terminate, or to at
tack the seedlings, weakening or
killing them. Seed corn infected
with molds may be safeguarded by
busting with Semesan Jr., follow
ing directions accompanying the
dust.

Big Duck Area Will Be Given
Back To Birds

Big Duck Area Will Be Given
Back To Birds
To reclaim from civilization and
give back to wild birds the chief
waterfowl supply depot of the
western states is the expressed
objective of an organization re-
Gently formed by western sports
men with headquarters at Boise,
Idaho. The Pacific Coast Migra-
tory Bird Conservation Association
has set out to enlist 100000 sports
men in raising $1,270,000 with
which to purchase $4,000 acres of
irrigated land owned by L. H.
Swift, the packer, along Bitten
River and adjacent to Malheur
Lake federal bird refuge in east
central Oregon.
This area and Halheur and Har-
ney lakes in the Bonner and Bit
zen alley formerly produced hum
dreds of thousands Of wild ducks,
geese and other wild fowl, and
formed the hub of the great water
fowl flights for western states, ac-
cording to officials Of the Ameri-
can Game Association, which is
supporting the plan.
The Boise sportsmen declare
that for 10 years the lakes have
been receding gradually and the
entire region is today almost neg
ligible as a waterfowl producing
area. Harvey Lake is now dry and
Malheur Lake is one-tenth its nor
NAL size.
The main reason for this the
sportsmen report is the diversion
of most of the water from Bitten
River, the principal source of sup
ply for Malheur Lake, for purposes
irrigation. If the organization sue
ceeds in saving the region for mi
gratory birds it means to deed the
land to either the federal or state
government for administration as
a refuge for all time.
DR.. r. r. Towle of Boise first
conceived the restoration idea. He
is secretary of the new organiza-
ton. M. L. Hubbard. president of
the Idaho Power Company, is
president, and there are 20 direct
ors. These have suggested that in
terested sportsmen of other states
select two bankers or other re-
sponsible men for each state to act
as a finance committee in raising
the money.
The most significant thing about
this undertaking, officials Of the
American Game Association say,
is the fact that the sportsmen of
the West, who will reap the prin-
cipal benefit, are themselves going
to raise the funds for this water
fowl restoration program instead
of waiting for the federal govern
ment to do it. Success in this I'M
dertaking win be looked upon as
the best evidence possible that the

Easy Rule Shows If Hens Pay
Feed

Feed
An easy method for determining
whether hens are laying enough
eggs to pay for their feed is sug-
gested by Miss Cora Cooke, extern
sion specialist in poultry, Univer-
sity Farm st. Paul. Miss Cookies
rule is to divide the price of 100
pounds of feed by the price Of eggs
per dozen, and multiply the an
swer by three. This will be the
number of eggs 100 hens must lay
daily to pay for their feed.
To illustrate how the rule works
Miss Cooke gives the following ex-
ample, based on the record kept
by one of her co-operators, Chas.
Erickson of Aitkin county. The
feed used for his flock in Deem
Der, including scatch and mash,
cost $1.41 per hundred pounds.
Eggs brought % cents per dozen.
Dividing $1.41 by % equals GA, and
multiplying this by 8 gives 1872
eggs, the number that had to be
laid daily by each 100 hens to pay
for feed. During December, the
Erickson flock actually averaged
81 eggs per day for every 100 hens
leaving AZ eggs a day for profit.
Miss Cook adds that any well
managed farm flock might do
as well, but only If fed a
well-balanced scratch and mash
diet. Records on farm flocks kept
by the owners in cooperation with
Miss Cooke last year showed that
home mixed feeds took the honors
for profits, while heavy losses
were not uncommon in flocks fed
commercial mixtures. It looks as

be just as necessary in 1882, Miss

time comes or in sunny climes
where nightengales are singing
their roundelays and the air is laden
with the perfume Of gay flowers,
what more ideal than for her dimin-
utive ladyship to wear this ex-
quisitely dainty outfit styled all of
fine snowwhite kidskin?
However, there are kidskin fash
ions and kidskin fashions and some
of them are decidedly practical as
fashions must be for children who
live in the north where tardy spring
takes its own good time in arriving.
The latest rage in wee folks winter
toys is leggings of kidskin. The
"dear little dimpled darling" seat
ed above in the illustration, is
wearing brown kid leggings with
blue chinchilla coat collared in
brown beaver. The leggings fit
snugly with Upper fastening and

Of smart leather jacket is some
thing they simply cannot resist, es-
pecially If they go in for active
sports. This year there is greater
variety in styles, and the colors are
beautiful. Some models have round
collarless necklines, fastening up
the front with metal clips. Others
have soft round collars.
There are also classic single or
double-breasted types with wide
collars that can be turned up
around the ears. The latter are
more practical for the girl who goes
skating or snow-shoeing.
Windbreaker types are also to
be had usually in suede, and there

Cent-A-Shell Tax Bill Ready For
Congress

A cent-a-shell federal tax on all
shotgun ammunition except that
used in trapshooting was declared
to be the most feasible means Of
financing an adequate waterfowl
restoration program, by the Spec
ial Ways and Means Committee in
it's report today March 10). This
committee was authorized at the
American Game Conference in
New York last December. The COM
mittee indicated that bill asking
adoption of the shell tax plan will
be introduced in Congress immed-
lately.
Stating that upwards of $1,000
900 can be collected yearly by this
method and that payments would
be made by each shooter in ex-
act proportion to the amount of
his shooting, the committee re-
commended that the returns
should be divided between the fed
eral government and the states in
the following manner:
Not more than per cent of
the total should be used for addi-
tional federal administration, re-
search an enforcement.
Fifty-five per cent Of the bal
ance should be allotted to the
game departments of the various
states, based on the number of
hunting licenses issued by each,
with the proviso that the state
game departments may upon re-
quest, refund to individuals and
trapshooting clubs the amount of
tax paid by them on shells used at
the traps. The remainder of the
funds allotted to the states would
be used solely to increase game.
Forty-five per cent would be ex-
pended by the federal government
for the increase of waterfowl
through the acquisition or control
OF migratory game bird breeding,
refuge and concentration areas in
the United States and Canada, and
the proper management of such
areas.
The tax would be collected at
ammunition factories. and stamps
applied exactly as is done with
cigarettes.
The committee, after a survey of
the prevailing sentiment in Con-
gress, chose the tax plan, suggest
ed by the More Game Birds in
America Foundation, and rejected
the American Game Associations
recommended 81 federal license
for every migratory bird hunter.
Composing the committee are
Brooke Anderson Of Chicago,
member of the federal migratory
bird advisory board, chairman;
William C. Adams, director of the
division of fish and game of the
New York Conservation Depart
ment; David H. Madsen, of Salt
Lake City, Utah, wild-life SUPER
