MOVEMENT ON;;LAND
FOR RENT Is RARE
Many Farmers Find it Difficult
to Obtain Farms; Condition
in 1928 Reversed

A serious situation faces men who
want to farm this year and have not
yet rented a farm, land men and
bankers stated this week. For every
farm that became available in the
last fevJ months there has been from
ten to rs applicants.
The reason for the shortage is said
to be the large number Of farms that
changed hands last year. Foreclos-
ures have given new ownership to
many farms and the new owners will
either occupy the farms themselves
or have persons in mind who will
operate them. With March 1 less
than two weeks away it appears there
will be a scramble for farms and
many farmers with no place to go.
History repeats ITSELF" L. R.
Ewart, vice president of the Citizens
State bank, stated; cit is backward
drift to the country and small towns
of farmers who went to the cities to
make easy money-sort of a back-to-
the-farm movement"
Mr.. Ewart stated that several
years ago when the cities were build
ing large buildings, the lure of easy
money caught the eyes of the farm
ing class and small town workers.
"The building period is over; large
office buildings, many of them in
Minneapolis and St. Paul, are only
half filled; the movement is reversed"
he continued.
He stated that Belgium is probably
the least distressed country in the
world and compared its intensive
farming to the farming in America.
"By intensive farming" he said, 81
mean planting crops within another;
such as in corn field, plant water
melons, pumpkins and other smaller
crops" He feels that this country is
coming to a point where farmers will
farm smaller tracts.

Cardinals to Meet
LambertOn Friday;
New Ulm Wins Here

Striving to keep it's position near
the top in district ten standings, the
Redwood Falls High school basket
ball team will meet the Lamberton
quint Friday night on the Lamberton
floor.
The Cards suffered their first con-
ference defeat of the season and were
pushed out of first place tie with
Winthrop in district ten by the New
U.m cagers 26 to % Friday night on
the Lincoln school court.
The game was opened with Red
wood displaying the same champion
ship form that subdued Tracy and
swamped Morton in the two previous
games but its offensive attack wilted
in the second quarter and was not re-
gained.
New Ulm piled up points with long
shots in the second and third quarters
to overcome the lead which the Card
inals had established shortly before
half time.
The crowd was greatly amused by
the preliminary game when the Gag
ers scored a big lead in the first half
to Withstand the onslaught of baskets
brought on by the Pretzels who lost
16 to 13.

Lame Duck Relief
Hopes Lost With
Allotment Report

Hopes for farm relief from the
lame duck congress faded Wednes-
day when the senate committee on
agriculture reported mutilated al
lotment bill limited to wheat and cot
ton and with the acreage control Sec
ton cut out. The control measure
is generally considered vital part of
the bill.
Dairy products and hogs which
were added to the bill in the house
and would have helped Redwood coun-
ty materially were eliminated by the
committee. Under the present bill
farmers would receive rs cents a
bushel for wheat and nine cents a
pound for cotton.
However, if the bill in any form is
generally believed to be opposed by
President Hoover and likely to re-
ceive his veto, its friends have hopes
of it's passage at special session at
ter March 4.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SCRIP MONEY use
ISSUEDBY COUNCIL
Money to be in Circulation
Late This Week; $1OO
Given for Relief

The city council voted Tuesday
night to issue $500 in scrip money as
an unemployment relief measure.
One hundred dollars of the money will
be turned over to the Relief associa-
ton for distribution as needed to
families who have no members able
to work.
The remaining $40O will be spent
on city work. 1t is probable that
storm sewers will be built where
needed when weather permits and
other projects may be undertaken if
the first issue of scrip proves salts
factory.
The money is being printed and
will begin to appear in circulation
Thursday or Friday.
The first person who receives the
money simply indorses the scrip bill
in placesprovided on its back. Each
person thereafter who receives the
money is required to affx a stamp
worth two per cent of the amount of
the bill. A scrip dollar bill requires
q WV SSAe oSonap dIiu W CclC JILL,
a one cent stamp.
Stamps may be purchased at the
Citizens State bank and it is expect
ed that stores will buy a supply
which they may sell to occasional
users of the money. Stamps are to
be affixed on spaces provided on the
currency and are to bear the initials
of the person or firm passing the
money.
AS the money moves in trade it will
acquire more and more stamps until
so have been affixed. Then it will
be redeemable for it's face value, the
money having accrued from the sale
of stamps.
Merchants are not expected to give
cash change for bills presented for
orders less than the amount of the
SCRIP, but will give out duebills which
will be redeemed by them when pre-
scented. 1t has been pointed out that
a merchant takes more than the usual
two per cent discount if he gives
back change.
City employees will be asked to
take ten per cent of their salaries in
scrip and if this is done an amount
equal to the sum thus saved will be
place in a separate account to be
spent for relief labor and material.

N. |. WILSON LAUDS
PARK RELIEF PLAN
AS ALLOTMENT AID
Believes Proposal Of Redwood
County Man Would Work
to Benefit Farmer
SHIPSTEAD Is INTERESTED
Senator Kendrick Promises ia
Make Thorough Study Of
Following Remedy

Representatives at Washington Of
the farming sections are interested in
the proposal of A. w. Park, Red
wood county farmer, that production
be controlled by forced summer fall
lowing of section of each farm, let
tiers received this week by Nate H.
Bovee, county agent, indicate.
In the most encouraging letter re-
ceived, M. L. Wilson, head of the de-
partment of agricultural economics
at Montana State college and close
advisor of President-elect Franklin
D. Roosevelt says:
Thanks very much for your send
ing me the reprint of the article on
summer following. l am much inter-
ested in this. You are correct, it
would work right along hand in hand
with the allotment plan and would
certainly do great deal to clean up
weeds and promote better farming. I
want to congratulate you very
strongly on the progressive attitude
you have taken in this matter"
John B. Kendrick, senator from
Wyoming and a member of the COM
mittee on appropriations, also ac-
knowledged receipt of the plan and
promised to give it careful considera-
ton.
Senator Henrik Shipstead, chair
man of the committee on printing
and author of an important bill to
refinance farm mortgages, expressed
interest in the proposal and promised
to study it carefully.
The Park plan would have the
secretary of agriculture determine
the extent of overproduction of
farm products and decide what per-
centage of tillable land should lay
idle. Every farmer would be requir-
ed to summer fallow part of his
farm, the enforcement to depend on
public opinion and agencies already
set up. Summer following improves
the land, kills weeds and the plots
so treated would be conspicuous, a
decided aid to enforcement of the
plan. For complete details of the
plan The Gazette of February 2.

COLD, SNOW CAUSE
SCHOOLS TO CLOSE,
POSTPONE MEETING

The snow storm and bitter cold
weather which prevailed in the county
last week resulted in several mishaps,
cancelled meetings and gave scores
of children an unexpected vacation.
John Pichotta, Eneman for the
Northern States Power company,
sustained frozen feet, hands and a
frost n:pped face Tuesday when he
He was called from his bed shortly
after midnight while the mercury was
around 20 degrees below zero and
worked until after daylight before the
trouble was rectified.
Because high lines were damaged
by the storm when a fire broke out at
the F. E. Croker home near Morgan,
it was necessary to use the old fire
bell instead Of the power siren. The
snow had been plowed from the roads
and the Morgan department arrived
quickly and saved the house.
Among the events postponed were
the creamery day celebration at Nor
gan and the annual creamery meeting
at Wabasso. Milroy schools were
closed three days, one of which was
made up on Saturday. The Clements
school bus was unable to get to Wa
basso and dozens of smaller schools
were closed or were sparsely attend
ed.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Bonner Sr.
and Martin Bonner were forced to
walk several miles Sunday when an
axle on their car broke as they were
on their way to Echo. They had
started out to visit at the Fred Re-
detzke home in Echo when the acct
dent happened and they made the
rest of the journey on foot.
William Duncan and Albert Hop
penrath, Belview mailmen, laughed at
the drifts Monday morning when they
backed their snowmobile out Of the
garage and went gliding over the
snow on their routes while other mail
men were forced to abandon their
trips in many cases.
Christ R. Anderson of Franklin
was victim of the cold. Dressed
only in his underwear, he apparently
stepped outside his home during the
night to get some fresh air or inves-
tigate a noise. viii Dickmeier found
the body short distance from the
house Tuesday morning of last week.

Damages Awarded to
Buyer in Suit Over
Sale of Weedy Land

Damages amounting to $5,725 were
awarded to Joseph Herzog, Olivia
farmer, in suit arising from the sale
of farm infested with noxious weeds
which was tried in district court at
Olivia last week.
The land owner alleged that 100
acre farm two miles northwest of
Olivia was sold to him by the State
Bank of Olivia with the understand
ing that it was free from weeds. He
testified that he discovered later that
the place was overun with Leafy
Spurge.
Nate H. Bovee, Redwood county
agent and weed expert, told the court
that Leafy Spurge thrives on ordin-
airy weed killing methods and that
land so infested is practically worth
less until it can be killed.

Tax Group Would Leave City
and Villages Out in
Deciding Issue
ASK ELECTION AT ONCE
Reduction in County Officials
Salaries Asked; Would
Fire Deputies

Redwood county voters will deter
mine at the general election in Mo-
venaber, 1884. whether or not the
county win retain county agent, it
was decided by the county commits
sionefs Tuesday afternoon following
q discussion with members Of the
Redwood County Tax association.
The vote followed recommendations
by D. L. Crimmins, president of the
league and William Green of Morgan,
that the issue be decided at elections
to be held in the townships next
month. They stated it was the business
of farmers to decide the county agent
question and that it should be of no
interest to city or village voters.
Mr.. Crimmins and Mr.. Green also
recommended reductions in officials
salaries, dispensing with the assistant
engineer, deputies and secretaries
and disseminating road and bridge
building.
After hearing the proposal of an
immediate election, John Arends,
chairman of the board, told the group
that city and village taxpayers have
as much to say about retaining the
county agent as rural voters and that
an election could not be held until the
next general election. A motion to
that effect was passed.
Richard E. Cook, highway engineer,
told the tax group. that if no roads
are built or other work done which
will necessitate maintaining highway
department help, he would dispense
with his help. He said the matter of
road construction is in the hands Of
the county board. He stated, however,
that there are several townships in
the county which need road work
and that it has been promised them.
Mr.. Crimmins recommended that
road and bridge construction work be
discontinued and that no more ma
chinery be bought for the highway
department. Board members de-
clared that no roads have been built
by the county except when paid for
by the state for several years and
that it is nearly five years since ma
chinery has been purchased.
at is already being done," board
members stated when urged to cut
every bill that could be possibly be
reduced.
