The 1895 corn-hog program will

Of $500 a head for 10 percent Of
the adjusted average production In
1882 and 1888. Corn payments will
be larger and producers can con-
tract from 10 to 30 per cent OF the
base acreage and get benefit pay

compared with 20 cents In 1884. In
addition to that. the land shifted

Hog Situation Points Export Trade

DR.. o. B. Jesness, chief in agricul-

Farm, st. Paul, sees in the present
hog situation, both here and
abroad, an emphatic illustration o.
the farmers need for the reestab-
lishment of world trade which
would reopen export markets for
farm products,

reduction of corn and hog produc-
ton in the United States, Or: yes-
ness showed how trade restrictions
are making chaos for hog produc-
ers, not only In the United States,
but in Denmark and other import
ant hog countries. DIR. Jesness says.
Great Britain has been an i'm
portant buyer of American pork
and Germany Of American lard.
Both of these markets have been
very greatly curtailed by trade re-
strictions. To aid its own agricul-
ture, England has established quo
tas governing the imports Of cured
pork. Favors are extended to Can
ada, New Zealand, and other Brit

their outlets for cured pork. Ger

$4,000 TO GET JOBS
IF STATE MATCHES
U. s. HIGHWAY AID

Jobs for approximately 1900
men will be provided on Minnesota
highways II the state matches fed
eral aid offered for this year and
next, according to N w. Elsberg,
highway commissioner.
If revenues Of the highway de-
partment are restored to the 1882
level" said Commissioner Elsberg,
Minnesota will be able to obtain
nearly 100000 offered us by the
federal government for road con-
struction and unemployment re-
lief.
THAT would mean Jobs for all
1900 or more Minnesota working
men, and the circulation Of $4,000
600 in Minnesota business and trade
channels. II Minnesota does not
match the federal aid, the $4,000
men will have to be provided for
by relief or other expenditures.
"The charge has been made that
political favoritism win be shown
by the highway department in en-
ploying men under such con-
struction program. This is entirely
unfounded. On all projects financed
with federal highway funds, the
hiring Of men is in the hands of
the National Unemployment Ser
vice, a federal agency over which
the state has no control.
Members Of the legislature will
search long time before they can
find better bargain for the tax
payers than this opportunity to get
two dollars worth of road construc-
ton and employment for every dol
lar advanced by the state"

Game Fish, December
In the work or rescuing game
fish and transferring them to deep
er waters because OF the shallow
ness Of certain lakes within the
danger Of freezing or smothering
out during the balance Of the win
ter, the state division OF Game and
Fish transferred 81 ,S9z adult game
fishes from such snailow lakes to
deeper lakes, according to q report
submitted by Eriing Swenson, div
ision director.
Included in the game fishes res
cued were wall-eyed pike. picker
Ell, sunfish, perch, crappies, bass
and bullheads. Where possible the
dish were distributed In lakes Of
counties In which lakes are located
from which the fish were rescued.

In Cottonwood county, fish taken
from Bingham lake were placed in
the Window bass pond and those
from Summit lake went into Fish

Fish removed from Bright lake

Transfers were made from Lake
Dora into Lake Tetonka in LIE

Loon and Indian lakes in Jack

taken from Round Lake in the

About this point Of the game. the

and too much dribbiing and indiv-

last three minutes of play. Seesaw-
ing back and forth across the floor
neither team seemed to get in pos
ition to shoot. Fouling was heavy
but very few shots were made.
Finally in the last minute of the
game, Bud Carpenter scored the
winning point of the game and the
locals won 20 to 10.
That this was an interesting
game to watch there is little doubt.
That there was really any good
basketball displayed, except on oc-
casions, is doubtful. The game was
rough and fouling was heavy. The
roughness did seem, however, to be
an honest attempt to get the ball
on any and all occasions. The best
type Of bail was played in the open
ing Of the game exemplified by
Alexis passing and Sank Centres
defense. Later in the game it be-
came a rough and tumble battle for
supremacy. Coach Harvey's lads
seem unable to forget the football
season is over. Each team scored
field goals. Alexandria divided
their goals quite evenly, with Fad
den scoring the heaviest with three
field goals. The loca boys huddled
their goals around the forwards and
center. Dubois and Keldahl tied for
high point man with the two counts
totalling 16 of the 20 points. Free
throws were big factor in this
game. The locals missed enough in
the first half to put the game away
for the evening. They netted only
6 out of Is, a percentage only
slightly better than 1888. Alexan-
dria outplayed them on free throws
scoring out of 6 attempts. The
summary reads as follows:

cause OF the low lake levels pre-
vailing at many of our lakes, fish

shallower lakes.
Prices for rough fish have been
slightly lower as compared to a
