2100 Sign Corn
Hog Applications
74,6OO Have Signed For Contracts
In State-6,5OO Less
Than In 1884

210O applications for corn-hog
contracts were signed by Stearns
county farmers in the campaign
which ended April 1, announces e.
c. Lenzmeier, the county agricul-
tural agent.
In the state as whole, about
$4,000 farmers signed applications
for contracts. Although this repre-
sents about $500 fewer applica-
tions than were signed in 1884, the
difference is largely offset by the
larger average land holdings and
swine herds included in this years
applications.
The local committees have fin
ished estimating corn yields and
counting hogs on the applicants
farms-steps necessary for deter
mining production quotas and pay
ments. Work remaining before the
first 1885 adjustment payment can
be made includes the completion of
application and contract forms by
the county allotment committees,
the signing of contracts by the
producers, and the approval of the
producers claims for production
allotments and benefit payments.
Because the work has been sys-
tematized to a much greater extent
this year than last, 1t will probab-
ly be accomplished much more
quickly, Mr.. Lenzmier predicts.

some one hundred and fifty Scout
ers representing three Councils,
the Central Minnesota, of which
this community is a part, the Ar
rowhead Council, and the region
northwest of here. The meeting
stresses camping as an active part
Of scouting, and emphasis was laid

Extend Motor
License Payment
Slight Increase on Payments Of
Cars-Old Cars VIII Maintain
Same Rate as Last Year

Time for the payment of the
1885 motor vehicle licenses has
been extended to May 18th, owing
to the fact that legislative action
has been delayed. The bill which
was passed by the House Wednes-
day carries a small increase in the
license rates, which 1t is estimated
will give the highway department
about $500,0 more for the year.
The rate will be % on new cars,
which is a raise over last year. Ten
percent will be allowed for the
first years depreciation and Is
percent thereafter. The minimum
rate for Glass B cars win be $3.50,
while the rate on Model T Fords
under Glass A will be $500. Farm
ers trucks will carry the same low
rates as for the last two years.
The omnibus tax bill has been
under fire in the house for two
DAYS. The first test votes revealed
that the bill will be passed, but
lacks the vote to repass it over the
Governors veto, which is expect
ed. However, sponsors of the bill
believe there Is a fair chance that
he will permit it to become law.
Many amendments to the bill
have been offered but it was ex-
pected that the bill would pass the
House as It stands.

Miss Rebecca Hunt Explains
Study In 10Th
School Article

The first year of a child's life in
school Is one Of the most important
years he will ever spend. When a
child starts to school he has a large
stock Of word sounds (called oral
symbols) which, through repetition
and reproduction in his speech,
have become more or less familiar
to him. The child. upon entering
school at the age of six, has a
knowledge of hundreds Of words
obtained from the varied experience
es of his few, short busy years.
Printed symbols are entirely out
side the experience of this pre-
school child-they have, for him,
no connection with either oral SYM
bols or meanings. SO Primary
Reading is to connect these spok-
en- symbols and their meanings so
closely with their visual forms
that the latter will readily arouse
the meanings back of them or in
other words the teacher must build
up an eye vocabulary correspond

Farmers Say Golf

Bad Features In Proposed Day
light Saving Law Told BY
Farm Bureau

If Minnesota golf fans are going
to make us call a. M, 4 a. m, as
they seek in a bill now before the
state legislature. they should amend
the law to compel the sun to rise
an hour earlier, to burn off the
dew, farm leaders aver. Much to
the CONSERVATION Of members of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau and
other farm organizations, consider
able friendly attention is being
paid by some members Of the state
legislature to a daylight saving
bill, sought in industrial centers by
people who want time for a few
rounds OF golf or a few hours Of
fishing after the days work is
done.
Daylight saving to the farmer is
an unmitigated nuisance, compel
ling him to lose an hour Of valuable
time in the morning or work an
hour later than anyone else, in or
der to get his crops in. Men who
work in shop, factory or office
would not be Inconvenience If tie
starting whistle blew at seven ra-
Their than eight a. m, but farmers
can't make hay or put UP grain
while the dew is on, and in order
to get in their 10 hours OF field
work they would have to work un-
til seven p. M, if the golfers bill
goes through.
If city folk want to knock off at
four p. M, instead OF five, they
should be able to fix 1t UP with
their bosses or their customers,
without going to law about it, Of

pass the daylight saving bill unless
you can make the sun come up ear

$4,000
Paid Farmers
On Saturday
Third Corn-Hog Benefit In
Stearns County Totaled
$101,742
DUE $4,000
Another Payment in Stearns
County Will Be Paid
In Near Future

A total Of $1O1,742 in corn-hog
benefit payments was received by
John A. Willenbring, treasurer Of
the Stearus County Corn-Iog Pro-
duction Control Association the
past week, and the checks were
distributed to farmers at four
points in the county. The pay-off
in Sank Centre was made at the
Community Club rooms Saturday,
at which time 458 checks, totaling
over $4,000 were paid to farmers.
The 456 checks averaged $55.
On Friday checks were distribut-
ed in st. Cloud, and the other
two payments in the county were
made at Albany Monday and at
Paynesville Tuesday.
According to statement made
to the Herald Monday by Mr.. e. G.
Lenzmeier, county agent, these pay
ments have been rotated in various
cities and villages to shorten travel
distances for the farmers, accord
ing to the policy of Mr.. Willen-
bring, of Richmond, treasurer. The
first payment in Western Stearns
was made in Belgrade, another was
made at Melrose.
This payment, the third Of its
kind made to Stearns county farm
ers by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration under the 1884
corn-hog contract, is at the rate Of
50 per hog Of the individual farm
er's allotment, less the local costs
of administering the program.
These costs average 1O1a cents per
hog, or about 2h per cent Of the
total 1884 payment Of S. per hog.
Including both corn and hog
benefit payments. Stearns county
farmers have now received total
of Sass, 900 for their cooperation
with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administrator in the 1884 corn
hog program. Another $4,000 still
due to Stearns county will be paid
soon.

type Of experience and training
which they have had. For environ
ment does have a great influence
upon child's vocabulary. Then,
too, children should have a mental
age Of six years when they begin
to read. A mental age Of six years
means the mental ability of an
average or normal six year old
child. Children who are mentally
less than six years Of age are not
ready to learn to read and there
fore do not make rapid progress
which necessitates repeating the
grade.
Reading instruction enlarges
and enriches the child's experience.
This objective deals largely with
the materials of reading. The mat
erial must be interesting and OF
educational value, must contain
rich, meaningful material and be
within the intellectual grasp of the
child. The Gates system Of reading
used in this grade is carefully grad
ed. The pre-primer work consists of
sixteen large wall charts which can
be easily seen. These charts re-
quire from four to six weeks for
completion-depending upon the
ability of the group to progress. Be
ginning reading proceeds from a
sentence or group of sentences to
the phrase, then to the word and
finally to the parts of the words.
This pre-primer work introduces
most of the words used in the first
chapter of the Primer-"Peter and
Peggy"-which is taken up next. A
work book accompany's the Prim-
er-"Peter and Peggy"-as well as
the First Year Reader-'Round the
Year"
Reading instruction develops per-
manent interests in reading-it
creates love for and a desire to
read books well. The child is slim
ulated in his desire and love for
reading by placing reading slim
uli in his environment such as dir
ections and questions written on
the board, picture books, attractive
library corner and reading table,
pictures and puzzles with stories at
tached, bulletin boards, blackboard
stories and chart stories, social
grouping of children around a
reading table, or bringing children
to the front Of the room in social
group and by constantly using sea-
