from two to four weeks. The fact
was driven home that this would
only be a beginning of the require
ments. He has promised his full
est and speediest cooperation. He
will notify his assistant at st.
Cloud. Mr.. SCHNEIDER, to immediate
ly comply with any request made
by the Sank Centre committee.
Heretofore the applications for
relief were required to pass
through the county headquarters
at st. Cloud. Wednesday Mr.. liver
son obviated this necessity.
Hereafter all farmers resid-
ing in Sank Centre, Ashley, -
Raymond and Getty townships
must make their applications
for relief through the Sank
Centre headquarters. Keep
away from st. Cloud. Work
through the Sank Centre COM
mittee.
Chairman Parker has appointed
Henry Barchenger, Raymond;
Henry Wehlage, Getty; Fenton
Parker, Ashley, and Jos. Beste,
Sank Centre, all members Of the
township boards Of their respective
townships, to become part of and
work with the Sank Centre COM
mittee.
At the present time there are 40
tons of beet pulp on track in this
city. Mr.. Iverson directed the COM
mittee to distribute this at once.
Mr.. Parker appointed Messrs.
Strauss, Holcomb, w. II. Rathe and
G. v. Morse to meet at the latter's
office last evening; go over the list
and notify the so most needy farm
ers in the four townships to call
for and receive their apportion-
ment of this pulp. The cards Of
notification went out over the Rur-
al routes this Thursday morning.
Besides the allotment Of 100 tons
Of hay the committee are asking
for the immediate delivery of 10
cars of grain and two cars of beet
pulp. This pulp must be fed to cat
tie and horses sparingly until they
become used to it. A 500-lb allot-
ment when wet will make about
the bulk of one ton. It has about
one-thfrd the food value Of good
wheat bran.
With the arrival in st. Paul
Tuesday noon of DR.. Sheets rapid
action for relief was started. One
of the propositions is to slaughter
100000 head of cattle in the strick-
en- territory. The packing Plants
have promised every cooperation
but the total weekly capacity of
the Northwest is 10000 head. In
some instances the cattle may be
slaughtered and buried. The gov
eminent will pay from $500 to 500
90 each for the cattle slaughtered.
DR.. Sheets stated Tuesday after
noon that there must be delivered
in the immediate funture 100000
tons hay and 646,517 tons of grain
for the afflicted districts of the
Northwest. The government stored
corn of which there are hundreds
of thousands of bushels sealed up
in Southern Minnesota will be i'm
mediately available for relief work.
Cash will be furnished farmers
to purchase seed for forage crop
planting.
