Farm Holiday
Ass n. Meeting
State Officers Explain Frazier
Lemke Bill-Attempt
Organization

A meeting of the State Farm
Holiday Association was held in the
Community Club rooms Monday
evening, at which time state Of
ficers explained the Frazier-Lemke
bill. George Minette, as chairman,
called the meeting to order.
Farmers from Sank Centre.
Grove Lake, Melrose, North Fork,
Raymond and Ashley townships
were represented among the IT'S
men and women present. Todd
county also was well represented.
Township organizations were
formed, each township electing a
chairman. The membership dues
in the organization are one dollar.
of which amout 25c is retained by
the township.
The objects of the association, as
outlined by the officers, are primar-
lily to secure for the farmer costs
of production. They believe the
farmer can secure this objective
best through orderly marketing and
by the application of the Frazier
Lemke bill, which is in reality a
moratorium act, extending farm
loans and mortgages over 42-year
period.
Since the above was put in type,
we find that United States District
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut, Balti-
more, Wednesday declared the farm
mortgage moratorium amendment
70 fba oft ,,noopcf;fY,fiona In that
its fve-year clause discriminates
against mortgage creditors in favor
Of bankrupt farmers.

The Senior High School Courses
and General Policies
The Sank Centre Public School
Is member of the North Central
Association Of High Schools and
Colleges and Is classified as a re-
organized school, having changed
from the traditional "a plan to
the 6-3-3 plan soon after the Jun
Tor High School movement was un-
der way. In size 1t is classed in
the state as a G school, the class
comprising the largest schools. The
following is intended to be some
what of an overview Of the general
character Of the organization Of the
last three years of the system which
is known as the Senior High School
The enrolment for 1934-35 in the
Senior High School is as follows:
Post graduates: boys 2, girls IL,
total 10.
18th grade: boys, 81, girls 81, to-
tai SO.
18th grade: Boys 20, girls Il,
total 81.
10th grade: Boys SO. girls AZ, to-
tai rs.
Making total of boys So, girls
131, for a grand total Of PIT.
These figures offer the following
sidelights: This is the largest en-
rollment In history of the Senior
High School and will graduate it's
largest class this year.
OF the total number "a arrive
daily In school buses, approximate
ly Is are working in the city for
board and room, and 20 reside In
districts outside the district Of
Sank Centre. One will note the
preponderance of girls over boys,
which has been characteristic for
some years. This Is due partly to
the tendency on the part Of boys to
quit school to go to work, partly
to the lesser interest shown by
them, partly to the greater number
Of girls who come from outside the
city and possibly partly due to the
partiality Of nature to girls in this
particular community.
At the present time, there Is an
overflow from the assembly of Is
not counting post-graduats. If this
continues, as is expected. the as
senbly system will have to be dis
carded In favor OF home rooms, by
which students viii report to roll
rooms In charge OF teachers and
the assembly will be converted into
a study hall. This system Is in use
in all larger high schools and has
many advantages over the present

Farmer Says Frosted
Sudan Grass Poisonous
Changes Of Feeding Must Be Made
Gradually. Says u. Farm
Veterinarian

Reports have reached the Herald
recently that number of farmers
have lost cows which have fed on
frosted Sudan grass. A. M. Birdsell
is one of the farmers, who will bear
witness that frosted Sudan grass
Is dangerous to stock, he having
lost several cows, and also has a
number sick, from feeding on a
patch of the frosted grass. The
cattle fed on this grass have be-
come bloated.
Repeated warnings have been
sent out by the University Farm
regarding the method of feeding
this year, and the following article
by DR.. Boyd, of the Veterinary Dr.
vision, University Farm, will show
that not only Sudan grass, but 9th
er grasses, silage and moldy feeds
must be fed with great care. Many
farmers in this community claim
their cattle do not become bloated
from Sudan grass, the following ar
ticle explains why:
All changes in livestock feeds
should be made gradually, points
out DR.. w. L. Boyd Of the veterin-
airy division, University Farm, st.
Paul. This suggestion is especially
timely this year because many
farmers in drouth areas are being
obliged to feed or Craze their live
stock on crops with which they have
had no previous experiences.
Many cases of sickness and
even of death Of livestock occur
ring this year can be traced to ne
glect of this simple rule of live
stock management" DR.. Boyd
says
Even prussic acid poisoning,
sometimes occurring when Sudan
grass and other plants of the
sorghum family are grazed, 10
much less likely to occur If an
imals are given good fill of dry
feed and watered beforehand" he
adds.
Starting cattle too suddenly on
corn silage is one of the very COM
mon feeding mistakes" says DR..
Boyd. "This frequently causes
severe securing, reduction in milk
flow and may even cause death.
Only a small amount Of silage
should be fed at the beginning,
and the amount increased grad
ually until the animal Is on full
feed"
If moldy feeds must be fed, DR..
Boyd recommends that they be fed
to cattle or sheep, since neither is
much affected by such feeding.
Horses, however, are very much
subject to digestive disorders re-
sulting from the feeding of moldy
forage or grain.

confessed to aiding in the holdup,
and was sentenced to prison in Ohio
for series of similar robberies
there. They were traced through
clever detective work by Local police

Roosevelt
Willing to
Amend Bill
President Ready to Place
New Gold Program on
Emergency Basis.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is prepared to yield,
if necessary, to demands of some
senator's that his new gold program
be placed on an emergency basis
with time limitation, it was
learned today.
The President is opposed, how
ever, to the change written in yes
terday by the senate banking and
currency committee whereby the
proposed $4,000 100000 sterilization
fund would be supervised by board
OF five members.
AS a result of the Presidents at
titude it appeared probable that con-
troll of the fund would be returned
to the secretary of treasury as in
the bill passed by the house last
Saturday.
Senate debate on the dollar de-
valuation bill was scheduled to open
today with indications that the bill
in its final form would be suitable
to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The administration opposition to
the committee amendment calling for
diversified supervision over the
sterilization fund is based on the
element of secrecy regarded as a
vital part of the funds operation.

WITHDRAWAL
OF R. 0. &c.
Dr.. G. Bromley Oman Wins
Long Battle Against
Army Course.

Military authorities today protest
ed action taken by the De Paw
university board of trustees yester-
day requesting withdrawal of the
R. o. T. C. unit from the campus
The unit, which has had a dis
tinguished career on the Methodist
university campus for many years
has been a bone of contention with
DR.. G. Bromley Oman, president
since his incumbency in 1928.
With enrolment of the corps fall
ing steadily since 1929 when it was
placed on an optional basis, General
George Van Horn Moseley then
commander of the Fifth corps area,
this summer asked the De Paw
administration either to- request
the withdrawal of the unit or dis
continue what he termed sabotage
of the student enrolment.
The vote was twenty-five to two
for dismissal of the unit at the
trustees meeting yesterday, bearing
out DR.. Oxnam's reply to criticism
that he could obtain sanction from
the trustees for his stand against
military training.
Action of the Methodist General
Conference attacking military
training was cited in statement
by the board yesterday. De Paw, it
pointed out, was the only Methodist
school having military training in
its curriculum.
Those who expressed regret at this
move were Colonel Thomas H. Sher-
burne, chief of staff of the Eighty
fourth division, organized reserves;
v. M. Armstrong, American Legion
state commander, and Major J. K
Boles, commanding officer of the
Third field artillery, Fit. Benjamin

The wind which drove the ship
