SCOUTING NEWS

A new Troop is in process of or
ganiaztion at Brooten under the
direction of Scoutmaster Sherman
E.: Iverson. 1t is expected that this
Troop will register by the first of
April. This is the first of several
outside points in the Sank Valley
District that are likely to have
Scout Troops this year and is the
result of increased Scout activities
both here and elsewhere. Scouting
probably finds its greatest eff
ficiency in places the size of Sank
Centre or smaller. The first prere-

given this learehship the boys
seem to make more progress in the

hike last Saturday, the 18th, this
hike was for the purpose of locat-
ing a suitable spot for an over
night camp and this they found
some two miles south of town. The
party left at 1920 in the morning
and while they did not build a
shelter-half for sleeping purposes,
they found good location and it is
the plan to erect such a shelter

of a shelter-half for an over night

THE COUNTY AGENT
Corn Demonstration

Much interest was shown in the
corn demonstration plots in var

last year with double cross corn.
Fourteen samples were given out
to farmers in ten different town.
ships of the county to make yield
tests with their own varieties. On
eleven of these fourteen farms the
yields were checked by the county
agricultural agent and the double
cross corn showed a substantial
yield increase on nine of the elev-
en- farms. The average increase in
favor of the Ike double cross was
1870 on all eleven farms
This year again twelve samples
will be distributed to twelve diff
ferent farmers for yield compari-
sons. There will be nine samples
of Ike double cross and three SAM
Piles of Ike cross. Amy; farmer in
terested in planting five pounds of
this double cross seed between the
regular corn he is now growing
may secure a five pound sample as
long as the supply lasts. The corn
should be planted and cultivated
in the usual manner and notice CIV
en- to the county agent before cut
ing for shock or silo so that the
yield can be checked.
Similarly but for the first time in
Stearns county the new varieties
of small grain will be tested in like
manner. One peck samples of Vel
vet barley, Gopher, Anthony and
Minrus oats will be given out to
farmers on the condition that they
be sown near the center Of the
regular grain field for a yield check.
There will he two samples of Vel
vet barley, one of Gopher oats and
two of each Minrus and Anthony
oats. Just as with corn the SOW
ing and cultivation of ground
should be identical on the test plot
and regular field. These samples
will be distributed without cost but
must be sown in the manner speci-
fed. Parties interested in these

with the Girl Scouts and this par
hcular location will probably be
used more by them than by the
boys although it will probably be
used by both upon various over
night hikes during ends.
Upon the Saturday hike the boys
took provisions with them, had
camp fire and number OF them
passed some of their tests for Sc
cond Class. William Riggs passed
fire building, Mickey Hansen and
James Rattle cooking, and the fol-
lowing boys passed both fire build
ing and cooking: Norman Bohne,
Junior Vandesteeg. Leroy Soltau,
Mike and Jake Hanauer, Merlin
Pickett In the cooking test the
boys cooked their own dinner and
became quite enthue Elastic about
the taste of camp fire cooking out
in the fresh air. After lunch they
played some field games and had
some practice in trail following.
The party was under the direction
of H. L. Clark.
Franklin Vandesteeg has regis
tered with Troop So and has been
assigned the position of Senior
Patrol Leader. Troop 63 is likely to
have another valuable addition
soon, one of the older boys will
go in as Assistant Scoutmaster.
These additions Of older boys will
largely solve the problem of lead
ership for this Troop. There are
several other positions still open
for older boys, however, in other
Troops.

Uncollected taxes in Minnesota
reached $60,152,659 on January,
1888, nearly one-half the S128,513,-
PAP levied in 1881, according to the
figures just compiled from the re-
cords in the Minnesota Tax Com
mission. The delinquency which
must be met with increased taxes
will cost every man, woman and
child in the state $23.
Unless drastic economy is effect

state legislation, involving the state
in business and issuance of new
bonds, is killed, the mounting levy

The growing cumulative tax de-
linquency on real and personal
property and special assessments

less drastic remedial legislation is
affected. Since 1925 the delinquency
has more than tripled.
Statistics show that il 1926 the
delinquency totalled $13,s57, 653; in
1927 it totalled $21 ,653, BAL: in 1928
$23, 154, 1877; in 1929, $2S,6O5. $50; in

1882 $44,7O3,144; 1888, $6O,152, $50.
The percentage of uncollected
taxes in Minnesota has mounted
each year. In 1880 9.52 per cent re-
manned uncollected, and IN 1881 the
percentage jumped to 1858, accord
