Iodine is Best to
Prevent Infections
Campaign to Avoid Injuries and
Also to Apply Proper First Aid
Urged BY Doctors

st. Paul, Dec. 27-There is a tend
ency in industry as well as at home
to neglect hand injuries, the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton points out in a bulletin issued
today.
On the basis of figures from the
hospitals and from number of in
dustrial plants employing thousands
of men, the doctors estimate that
approximately II per cent of all
hand injuries become infected and
that fully Is per cent of all per-
manent disabilities to hands are
caused by infections which get in
to wounds in the hand.
"The great majority of these in
fections develop in trifing
wounds" the doctors declare in this
bulletin. They occur in minor cuts
or scratches or silver wounds that
people neglect entirely or fail to
treat properly. They occur much
less often in serious hand injuries
because in the case of the serious
wounds proper treatment is likely
to be sought Immediately.
1--WE need a campaign, first, for
the removal of causes for injuries,
such as exposed nails or wires, pins
in packages, broken odds and ends
of glass, rough wood and other
such hazards. Second to teach
the right first aid treatment for
minor wounds so as to prevent in
lection. Unfortunately, bad in
fections may develop in very slight
injuries.
"Tincture of iodine is the antisep-
tic to use in every minor hand
wound" the doctors declare. use
of other common antiseptics such
as hydrogen peroxide, bicholride
wash or soap and water is never
advisable in these cases. They help
to infect the wound"
The presence Of epidemics Of ton
sillitis have been shown to influence

AAA Proves Value of Agricultural
Extension Service

Signal proof of the effective ser
vice agricultural extension organi-
cations can give in working with
farm people is the speedy manner
in which the wheat, cotton, tobacco
and other AAA programs have been
put into operation, Dean H. w.
Mumford, of the Illinois College of
Agriculture said in a recent address
at University Farm, st. Paul.
From it's beginning nearly 20
years ago, extension work in agri-
culture and home economics has
been directed toward bringing
about adjustments or changes need
ed to meet the economic and social
problems of the farm and farm
home, Dean Mumford pointed out.

lished aims and purposes of the ex-

clare in this bulletin. Among

just as likely to find it on the track

tant fact that has been demonstrate

tension program, he said, and it
is now generally recognized that
without the aid of well-organized
extension service it would have
been impossible to administer, de-
velop, define and carry out the pro-
visions of the Act in the short
time available.
Many of the regular lines of ex-
tension activity are now more inn
portant than ever before, Dean
Mumford declared. Among these
he mentioned economic outlook
work, farm accounting, improve
ment of quality in farm products
without proportionate increases in
costs, introduction Of new crops,
All club work and home demon
stration work.
Extension services must give in
creased attention to instruction in
the use Of farm credit and must
prepare to school farmers in ma
tional and international conditions,
particularly as to trade and tariff
policies, Dean Mumford believes.

taken out of cultivation and five
dollars per head Of hogs marketed
under the reduced quota allowed in
the reduction contract. The IS
per head will be paid in addition
to the returns which the farmer
will receive for his hogs on the
market.
County corn-hog committees al
ready have been appointed in the
major corn-growing counties of
the state, and these committees
have divided or will divide these
counties into districts. Under the
leadership of the county agricul-
tural agents and corn-hog commit
tees, public meetings will be held
in each of these districts, at which
the details of the program will be
explained. These meetings will be
followed by others in the same 10
calities, at which farmers can sign
contracts and elect community COM
mittees, the chairman of which will
serve as board Of directors Of the
County Corn-Hog Control Associa-
ton. The county board of directors
in turn will elect a committee OF
three which will have the final
word in determining each farmers
allotment.
agreeing to accept adjustment
which may be made in their figures
by their county allotment COM
mittees will receive the first in
stallment of their benefit payment
from Washington soon after their
contracts have been sent in. This
installment will amount to Is cents
per bushel on the adjusted estimat-
ed yield of the corn land that is to
be retired from production in 1884,
and two dollars per head on the
adjusted average annual number
of hogs produced for market from
the 1928 filters.
If the majority of Minnesota corn
and hog raisers enter into this
program, it is estimated by the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton that they will receive a total
of $25,OOO,0OO to $28,000,000 in bene-
fit payments.
To provide farmers with ready
cash and to encourage them to
market their corn in an orderly
manner, the Agricultural Credit
Administration, acting through the
newly organized Commodity Credit
Corporation, is now making loans
to Minnesota farmers at the rate
of As cents per bushel on their
farm-stored ear corn. It is esti-
mated that these loans will bring
about $12,OOO,OOO to $15,OOO,OOO into
this state during the next few
months

Government Discontinues
Hog Buying at Chicago
Federal Relief Administration
Maintain Price Level Is
Not Satisfactory

The governments effort to uphold
hog prices at Chicago through TAX
ing hold over hogs at a pegged
price has been discontinued. Dur
ing the week of Nov. 1918 Chicago
commission firms attempted to hold
hog prices up, based on top of
$3.50 cwt. In order to accomplish
this the U. S. Federal Relief Ad-
ministration assisted the commits
sion firms by taking the hogs off
the Commission firms, hands at that
price basis if the firms were not
able to sell to packers and order
buyers at those prices. The packer
top for this period stayed at $4.35
and the order buyers generally al
so stayed within this limit. The
government agency withdrew it's
support from the program when it
found the buyers could not be
forced to pay the $3.50 price basis
The st. Paul Live Stock Ex-
change was in sympathy with this
program and was one Of the first
South st. Paul agencies to call
Washington attempting to get the
government relief agency to back
up the South st. Paul commission
firms in holding out for prices in
line with the Chicago price of $3.50.
The Exchange, however, was not
able to get the government to lend
its buying support to the South
st. Paul market. To complicate
the situation further the South st.
Paul Armour & Co. employees
were threatening to strike, thereby
closing that plant and greatly cur
failing the buying power. Facing
this state of circumstances, the
commission firm members Of the
st. Paul Live Stock Exchange,
while in sympathy with the move
ment, did not think it good judg-
ment to hold hogs over. demanding
prices in line with government
supported prices at Chicago, such
as was done by two-co-operative
selling agencies at South st. Paul.
During this period the South st.
Paul prices were out Of line with
the government supported prices
but at no time were they out of
line with packer and order buyer
prices at Chicago. The Exchange
firms judgment was sound because
if. they had held their hogs for gov
eminent supported prices their
patrons would have lost large
sums of money as the market kept
declining and the government soon
withdrew its support from the Chi
cago market. The Exchange men,
Der firms could not weight the
hogs UP to themselves, as one CO
operative firm did, and absorb the
losses sustained by having to sell
the hogs at a lower price in addi-
ton to heavy feed cost of holding
the hogs.

Farm-Home Week to Train Rural
Leaders

A training course in leadership,
recreation and dramatics, specially
adapted to rural community needs,
will be an outstanding new feature
Of the Farmers and Homemakers
Week at University Farm, Jan. Is
to 20. Miss Ella Gardner, recrea-
ton specialist Of the U. S. Bureau,
of Labor, Washington, D. c., will
give daily instruction on this pro-
gram.
Miss Gardner is nationally known
for her ability to lead groups Of
All and adult people in organized
games and other forms of home
made entertainment. She has been
in action at district 4H camps in
Minnesota where her "pep" and
winning personality attracted in
slant acclaim. Among the topics
for her short course discussions
are Lets make our own good
time" Getting people to play;
playing with Them" and Leader
ship in recreation"
Two University Farm staff men,
bers will take important parts in
this training course. VIM. Rout-
ledge, instructor in public speaking
and dramatics, will give four dis
cussions on one-act play production.
L. A. Churchill, county agent
leader, will supervise a daily forum
on community leadership.
Like other programs of Farmers
and Homemakers Week, this train
ing course will be entirely free and
farm bureau units and other COM
immunity groups are invited to send
Representatives. Mr.. Churchill
says there is real need of trained
recreation leaders in rural COM
munities where noticeable effect
of the depression has been the
forced curtailment Of commercial
forms of entertainment and a great
revival of interest in home and
neighborhood plays, debates, games
and similar diversions.

the bulletin. Removal Of causes
for throat infections and correction
OF other conditions such as anemia
or under nourishment which favor
infections is a factor in prevention.
Direct contact between germs from
an infected throat and an open
wound in the hand is thought to ac-
count for the increase In hand in

Whole Milk-Fed Calves Net More
Than Butter Fat

At the present low prices of but
ter fat, it is more economical to
give whole milk to calves and mar
ket them as vealers than to sell
butter fat, according to figures
presented by the veal calf depart
ment of the Central Cooperative As
ISOLATION at South St. Paul, in the
weekly market bulletin issued by
that organization.
Storage stocks of butter in the
United States have mounted to 1876
million pounds, or a surplus exceed
ing 100 million pounds more than q
year ago. Butter fat prices drop
ped to 14c pound in Minnesota
recently, and to 10c and 12c
pound in South Dakota. Thees
prices are the lowest in As years.
Assuming that the average COW
producing butter fat in the North
west yields 1919 pounds of fat per
year, or approximately 3.8 pounds
per week at 14c a pound, the reve-
nue. from a COW would be SIC q
week.
Whole milk-fed veal calves of
top grades have been selling around
SC per pound at South st. Paul re-
Gently. In five to six weeks a calf
permitted to nurse the COW will
weigh around 160 pounds and
would be of top quality. At sc a
pound this calf would gross $500.
II the butter fat were sold at
53c week for six weeks it would
gross only 1919. The difference be-
tween butter fat revenue at $319.
and veal calf revenue at $500 would
mean a balance of $4.81 in favor Of
veal calf. Since skim milk today
has practically no value, the farm
er who runs the calf with the cow
would also save the labor Of milk

Creech Tells of Rigorous System in
The French School Where He Taught

"a weekend at home, when asked
what he had done during his
visit, was always most interest
ed in what he had to eat and
would describe every meal,
course by course.
In turn, the French boys
would ask their American in
structor about his country.
Their favorite questions con-
cerned the moving pictures and
the gangsters. They could nev-
er be made to comprehend the
extent of the territory of the
United States. Sometimes they
would ask: "Is Hollywood in
North Carolina?"
One day Walter happened to
have maps, of Europe and the
United States, on the same scale.
He cut out the map of France
and placed it on the map of the
United States, to illustrate the
difference in size between the
two countries, and then he plac-
ed the map of the United States
upon the map of Europe. His
pupils gazed at this demonstra-
ton, speechless with astonish-
ment.
Walter says he had a lot of
fun, as we'll as a lot of work,
during his year in Bergerac.
He became acquainted with
many of the parents of his pu-
pills and visited them frequent
ly at their homes in city and
country. Now and then he would
go to Bordeaux, which is reach
ed easily from Bergerac by eth
er train or bus. The province of
the Dordogne, with its river and
lesser streams, its great vine
yards, it's rich growth of trees
and shrubs and grass, is a
beautiful land, and he went all
about it in automobiles.
He will be an instructor in
French here in the University
this year.
