WORK PROGRESSING
0NREDWOOD BRIDGE
Water Level of Lake Will Not
be Lowered, Temporary
Dam to be Built

With crew of 20 Redwood county
men now on the job, work is progress
ing rapidly on the four span Redwood
river bridge in Redwood Falls.
Two shifts are digging out rock
and preparing forms for concrete
piers on the west bank. Dan Afford,
superintendent, stated this week that
pouring will begin this morning, re-
quiring the services of eight more
men.
Gravel and cement will be mixed on
the east side of the river between the
Herman Werder and S. A. Appleton
homes and trucked to the other side
of the river where it will be mixed
with water. A runway has been built
above the piers and the concrete will
be dumped into a canvas chute to the
pier forms many feet below.
The lake level will not be lowered
except in the nook on the east side
of the dam where a temporary dam
will hold back the water while the
pier is being built. This will not be
started until in July and will take
only about 80 days.

FOUR FIRST PLACE
TEAMS TO MEET IN
SUNDAYS CONTESTS
Redwood Plays at Lucan, Echo
Goes to Evan in Major
Straight 8 Tits

Redwood Falls plays at Lucan and
Echo at Evan Sunday in two import
ant games in the Straight Eight lea
que which will cut the field of first
place holders from four to two. All
four teams won opening contests May
Is.
Of only slightly less Importance
are the games at Belview, where Sea-
forth will play, and at Clements, where
Delhi will try for it's first win. Al
though these teams were all defeated
in their openers, it is too early yet
to say they have no chance of TAX
ing the first half pennant.
Although outhit 4 to by Belview,
Redwood started with 2 to 1 VIC

Redwood held the lead from the
fifth INNING, when Schmids doubled

CROPS THREATENED.
IN SOME SECTIONS,
RUINED in OTHERS
Continued Drouth, High Winds
Spoil Hope of Crop in
'33 Drouth Area :
Where Seed Has Blown Away,
Farmers Often Without
Cash to Buy More

Not only are chances Of an aver
age crop already gone but unless rain
comes at once, crop failure is GER
tain in many parts of Redwood coun-
ty, Nate H. Bovee, county agent, said
Wednesday.
In the northwest portions of the
county where drouth-stricken crops
were almost a total failure last year,
the chances of a crop in 1884 are al
ready lost, he said. The frequent
high winds have whipped up the seeds
and powdered ground and carried
both away.
In the eastern section of the coun-
ty and parts of the southern section,
conditions are better although crops
are suffering from lack of moisture
and all hope rests on frequent rains.
The situation is not peculiar to
Redwood county, but is general
throughout the state and much of the
northwest. The Dakotas are report
ed worse off than Minnesota and con-
ditions get worse as one goes west
from here, with few localities ex-
cepted.
Word just received from Andrew
Boss, assistant director in charge of
production control, St. Paul, promises
that crops destroyed by wind may be
planted to fodder corn sometime af-
ter June 1. Further notice will be
published later. This does not mean
that contracted acres may be used.
No change has been made in regard
to contracted acres.
Bad as it is needed, N. B. Andersen,
weather observer here, was unable
Wednesday to give any hope of rain
for several days. The barometer in
stead indicated more wind.
Even if rains this week should
make it seem advisable to seed fields
again, many farmers in some sections
would be unable to do so, Mr.. Bovee
pointed out, because they have no
funds with which to buy seed.

not know that ssThe Milky Way" was
in preparation Even his parents are
said to have been kept in the dark on
the subject until he was sure he had
produced a winner. Another company
will produce the play in Chicago
about July 1.

per cent, w. G. NJ. Smith, secretary,
announced this week. "A number OF
the loans," he added, "are being made
on the installment basis as needed
during the season and since interest
is charged only on the money out,
some farmers are saving from one
fourth to ene-half of one per cent
in this way"
About $25, 0O0, 900 in such loans have

rs GET CORN-HOG CHECKS

The influx of AAA corn-hog pay
ments to Minnesota farms was start
ed last week when Is Scott county
farmers received their initial pay
ments totaling about $2,400. These
payments represent about two-fifths
of the hog payments and about one
half of the corn money which these
25 producers will receive from the adj
ministration in the next nine months.
Although insignificant in amount,
these payments are the first trickle of
an oncoming flood of $25, 900 900 that

HEN RIDES AXLE OF CAR
FROM FARM TO CLEMENTS

The Gazette is no poultry journal

Close on the heels of the story of
key, the penguin-rooster, last week
comes the report of a hen discovered
calmly roosting on the front axle Of
Leo Groebner,s car after he drove
into Clements Tuesday evening of
last week. She had apparently en-
joyed her strange ride.
