Barley Treatment
Is Not Accepted
Hot Water Is the Only Effective
Method Of Getting Rid Of
Loose Smut

Last week, the county extension
service made an offer to assist bar
ley growers who wanted their bar
ley treated by the hot water meth
cd. AS yet, no community in
Stearns County has shown their id
tention of taking advantage Of this
plan.
Under the arrangement, the
demonstration center Is to be set up
outside Of a creamery 80 that live
steam from the creamery can be
used to furnish the heat that 10
needed to keep the barley at the
proper temperature which Is 126
to 129 degrees Fahrenheit. After
the barley has been soaked in wat
err for six hours, it is placed in this
hot water bath for thirteen min
utes. At the end of this time the
sack Of treated seed Is again cooled
off in tank Of cold water. It is
then ready to be sown on the
fields.
The hot water treatment IL the
only effective treatment for loose
smut. When seed is 80 treated the
barley crop resulting therefrom will
be reasonably free from smut for
a period of four to five years.
Hence the process does not have to
be repeated each year. Communi-
ties wanting assistance along this
line should get in touch with the
county extension Office, st. Cloud.

Should Put Life
Into Hog Market
To Purchase 10000 Hogs. IL ,645, 600
~ Pounds of Pork and $500
r Pounds of Lard

Adversely influenced by contin-
ued generous receipts of hogs at
most of the leading markets, limit
ed outlets for fresh and cured pro-
ducts and general bearishness on
the part of packers due to the add
ed burden of the processing tax
which has been at it's maximum
($2.50 per cwt.) since the first of
March, hog prices have tended to
sag for the past two weeks. Prices
last week dropped at 10c below the
March low point. However, part
Of the decline was restored before
the end of the week and with a
new government hog purchase pro-
gram going into effect involving the
purchase Of 10000 hogs during April
II, 645,O 900 pounds of pork products
and 100000 pounds of lard. a
stronger market trend for April
naturally is the general assumption.
This is the opinion of w. G. Met
calf, head of the hog department Of
the Central Cooperative Associa-
ton at South st. Paul. Mr.. Met
calf pointed out that while govern
ment hog purchases at South st.
Paul may not be large enough to
create a noticeable increase in bid
ding locally, it will undoubtedly
have a beneficial influence on mar
kets generally.
Contrary to general exceptions
following the pig slauter campaign
last fall receipts of hogs at most
markets have held above a year
ago. The even market total for
March was 1,33S.226 head or nearly
1900 greater than for March last
year. Total hogs at seven markets
for the year to date show an in
crease of IL per cent over the cor
responding period for 1888.
The government pig and SOW
slaughter program, however, should
be reflected in somewhat Of a re-
duction in supplies from now on.
Hog prices at South st. Paul re-
Gently have been towering around
the $500 mark, but considering the
SIPS processing tax pork in reality
is costing on basis Of $6.25 hogs.

Cattle $3.50 Over
Year Ago Price
Hog Processing Tax Claimed to Be
Partially Responsible for
Increase

Cattle markets are from SIPS to
$150 above a year ago in spite of
the fact that total slaughtering Of
cattle in the United States during
the first quarter of the year reveals
that 80 per cent in the amount Of
beef has been moved into consump-
tive channels. Thus states the reg
ular weekly market bulletin issued
by the Central Cooperative Asso-
citation of South St. Paul.
During March alone, 771,244 cat
tie were slaughtered at Federally
inspected packing plants of the
country, that total having been ex-
ceeded but twice since 1915 and be-
ing 1925 head larger than March
last year.
More impressive than this, the
three-month total slaughter Of g.
1886, 238 cattle was 537 BOT head more
than the corresponding total last
year. This is an increase of 80 per
cent over a year ago and it is the
largest total for January to March
since 1918 and 1919.
During the past five years total
cattle slaughter for the first quarter
has been less than two million head.
In spite of this tremendous in
crease in beef supplies, cattle mar
kets have behaved well. The good
showing has been attributed, by
some in the trade, to the hog pro-
cessing tax on pork which has ele-
waited that meat to position which
renders it more favorable for the
sale Of beef.

who discussed briefly, in his usual
brillian manner, the problems and
challenges of education in the
changing modern world. He en-
phatically pointed out that the
basis Of all prosperity and progress
IN business, politics, government
and morality was education, and
proper educational leadership and
that the failures all around us call
for renewed efforts in those fields.
He reminded the group that educat-

Brief talks were also made by
two guests, Mayor-elect Wetzell. Of
Little Falls, and Mayor-elect Wal

were thoroughly enjoyed by the

AT the business meeting, resolu-

asking consideration for the pro-
posals of the National Education
Associations program for Federal
Relief for schools. This 6-point
program calls for emergency relief
where needed to prevent serious
handicaps to the continuance of
necessary educational facilities.
Supt. Norgaard reported on his
trip to the Delegate Assembly and
discussed the various changes pro-
posed and adopted for the Minneso-
ia State High School League.
The coaches proceeded next to
arrange baseball schedules. There
are thirteen teams in the district,
and due to their locations, it was
decided to divide the district as
conveniently as possible, putting
in the other. Each team must play
at least three other teams in the
sub-district contest and the cham
pions selected by percentages, will
play for the district championship.
All games will be over by May
26, before the final examinations
begin. In one sub-district are
Melrose, Long Prairie, Grey Eagle.
Burtrum. Upsala, Brawerville, Eagle
Bend and Clarissa. In the other
are: Sank Centre, Glenwood, Alex
andria, Osakis and Underwood.
Although the games will not
count in the sub-district standings.
Sank Centre has arranged two
games with Melrose to keep the
rivalry going. The schedule ap-
pears on this page.
There was a social hour after the
meeting at which Norwegian whist
was featured, and Upsala's delega-
ton won the trophy offered.

High School Base Ball

Practice for baseball in the Sank
Centre High School Is receiving
greater interest than in the past
several years, for twenty-five boys
are out every night trying for a.
place on the nine. The team viii
be greatly weakened by the loss Of
the battery, Smoky Joe Huber and
Butch Iwinski, who played last
year.
Sank Centre will have a mucn
heavier schedule than usual, and
owing to the fact that the district
Is divided in a different way than
in the past, prospects for success
full season are not so bright.
In spite of the fact that there Is
lack of experience among the
recruits this year, their willingness
to secure the knowledge of how to
play the game the way it should
be played. will most likely produce
a team much better than is expect
ed. However, this group Of boys
will be better in the future, for
they will have more years Of COM
petition and better team work by
longer association together. Fans
should not, however, expect too
much of the team this year.
The following is the schedule as
arranged by the district coaches at
Melrose recently:
April 25-Melrose, here.
