 Annual RegistratiOn
 There are some registrars who favor the system employed in New York city where the largest voting in the country is registered every election day. In each of the dis tricts in New York city, the voters have to register every year. If a person Is not registered. he does not vote. That keeps the record accurate and does away with mani fold duties that are forced upon registrars in other states.

Government To Permit
Farmers To Waive Loans
Allowance for Harvest Expenses
Provided by New Ruling Sum
Set Forth

st. Paul-The government We'd
nesday waived part of its loan-given
rights to farm income in Minnesota
and North Dkota in behalf of har-
vest expenses.
]. c. Eaton, regional crop and
feed loan manager, advised state
and field supervisors of a setup al
lowing farmers to keep percentage
of their crop income, despite first
liens held by the government, to pay
for harvesting.
Farmer-borrowers are given al
lowances per bushel of grain, this
to be paid on actual cost" of har-
vesting and threshing. Maximum
deductions from sales proceeds are
IL cents a bushel in wheat; rye, 10
cents; oats, s cents; barley, cents,
and flax, 20 cents.
While this also applies to Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, included in the
region, 1t concerns principally Min
nesota and North Dakota, where
majority of the government loans
to farmers exist.
Eaton said, in his letter to super
visors, that borrower may not de-
duct the entire harvesting and
threshing expenses from proceeds
Of the first grain sold but only
may take from each bushels sale
as fixed by the MAXIMUM allow
ances.
Crop prospects make it apparent,
Eaton said, that farmers debts to
the government will represent only
a small proportion of the anticipa-
ted production. Loans on the 1895
crop, he said, average less than $500
per borrower.

AAA Fears Delinquency
May Upset Tax System
Survey of Northern Minnesota
Counties in Sub-Marginal Land
District Viewed Dangerous

st. Paula report on survey
by the AAA was turned over to
the Minnesota state planning board
today and declared that tax del
inquencies on northern Minnesota
lands are threatening complete
breakdown of the general property
tax system in northern counties"
It is said the resulting unsettled
land ownership status makes it i'm
possible to inaugurate any longtime
constructive land use policy, or to
do any effective planning.
Minnesota must adopt policy Of
taking absolute title to lands which
have been delinquent five years or
more, as Wisconsin and Michigan
have done, to Offset this evil, the
report continued.
r. I. NOVEL;, regional director of
the land policy section for the AAA,
who wrote the report, said the sys-
tenn of bargain tax settlements
now in vogue in Minnesota" has
placed premium on tax delinquent
cies, resulting in constantly declin-
ing tax collections.
o. B. Jesness, member of the
Minnesota planning board, said a
complete land inventory of the state
may result from the recent confer
ence on land problems held in Chi.

Time for Infantile
Paralysis Nears
The Sick Child in Late Summer
Should be Kept Away From
Others and Watched

st. Paul, Minnesota, July Sal
though there are very few cases OF
,poliomelitis or infantile paralysis In
the state at the present time. this
weeks bulletin Of the Committee on
Public Health Education of the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton, urges parents to remember
that the season for the disease Is
approaching and a wachful eye
should be kept on sick children.
No epidemic Of the disease Is
looked for in the state this year
but there are always a few cases
and these appear mostly in August
and September. Early care may
save the child major trouble and
will certainly aid in the prevention
of spread Of the disease.
Any sick child in late summer
should be watched carefully. Early
symptoms Of the disease vary
greatly. Often the stomach APP
pears to be upset or there may be
sore throat or cold. In any case the
child should be put to bed and kept
away from others until the trouble
has been definateiy determined and
the child has completely recovered.
An interesting chart exhibited
at the recent annual meeting of
doctors of the state showed that in
many cases the first symptoms
practically disappear, often for a
day or two, before paralysis sets
in. Stiffness of the neck warrants
immediate attention.
In any case, the sick child should
have special care in these critical
months. If the trouble is only an
upset stomach or diarrhea or cold,
he will be none the worse for a
rest in bed and thorough examin-
alton

Mature Barley Is
Needed for Mailing

c. LenZmeier. Since maturity is a
factor for fancy mating barley Mr.
Lenzmeier urges all farmers who
are raising mailing barley in
Stearns County to delay harvest un-
til the crop is fully ripe.
Threshing Damage Lowers Mailing
Barley Grade
Careless threshing of mailing bar
ley costs farmers of the u. S. in the
Eeighborhood of $1,000,000 year,
asserts H. r. Summer, of Minnea-
polls, secretary of the Northwest
Crop Improvement Association.
Full IS per cent of the barley
grown each year is damaged by too
close threshing, he adds, basing
this statement on an examination
of farmers and commercial lots of
this grain made by the grain div
ision of the u. S. Dept. of Agricul-
ture. The damage may run even
higher than this in the case of the
smooth-awed varieties, which are
particularly susceptible to thresh-
ing injury.
"Close or careless threshing in
jures the kernel in three ways" he
explains. It may break the kernel;
it may peal the hull of husk, ex-
posing the germ; or, it may fray
or skin the tip end of the hull caus-
ing the chaff to come off in the
sleeping and mailing processes.
In all of these types of injury the
termination of the kernel is af-
fected making the barley unfit for
good mating.
1.-The market grade of barley is
affected by the presence Of skinned
and broken kernels" Mr.. Sumner
continues. 1.-THE presence of more
than 5 per cent skinned and brok-
en- kernels in a lot of barley, keeps
it out of the federal mailing grade.
Some of the causes of thresh-
ing injury to barley are as follows:
Too high speed of cylinder, Excess
sive end-play in cylinder, loose or
crooked cylinder teeth, too many
sets of concaves, improper adjust
ment of sieve and conveyer, I'M
even feeding of bundles and thresh-
ing damp grain which later becomes
dry.
1.-THE careful thresherman checks
the operation of his machine con-
stantly to correct excessive kernel
injury"

Factors That Affect Prices of
Livestock

A study of local prices of live
stock commodities in Minnesota,
made by L. F. Carey of the division
OF agricultural economics, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, shows that
there are three factors affecting all
farm commodities, causing varia-
ton in local prices. These factors
are quantity Of local production,
quality Of the product, and distance
from market.
Mr.. Carey has made a study Of
these factors, as they affect hogs,
beef cattle, sheep, chickens and
butterfat, and he has summarized
his findings in new bulletin is
sued by the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station for free distri-
button. The bulletin bear the title,

modities in Minnesota" Copies may
be had from county agents, or by

st. Paul.
The striped cucumber beetle, as
this beetle is called, is a clever pest;
it avoids poison areas on leaves.
However, Mr.. Parten says, excel
lent control has been possible by
keeping plants covered with a
poison dust, made Of 1 pound Of
calcium arsenate thoroughly mixed
with 20 pounds of land plaster. To
mix, rub the two ingredients
through a screen several times.

states got together for a conference
says T. A. Erickson, state leader
fer Minnesota. The announcement
was named by the United States

on to still greater efforts, in order
that every rural boy and every rural

Agricultural Notes
Minnesota q Pioneer in Farm
Management

Minnesota q Pioneer in Farm
Management
Farm management, a study OF
costs and returns as a basis on
which to pin farm operations and
cropping systems is one of the great
advantages in agriculture for which
the Minnesota Agricultural Erperi-
ment Station, University Farm, st.
Paul is largely responsible. Back
in the 1905, w. M. Hayes and An
drew Boss, both of the station staff,
the latter now vice director, got the
idea that such studies would be of
great help to farmers. A little
later, in 1902, in cooperation with
the Bureau of Statistics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, they began studies on sta
tistical routes, to find out what the
costs were on actual farms under
everyday conditions. And that was
the beginning of a movement that
has spread over the country and
contributed greatly to efficient far
ming.
Farm management means that
the farmer makes an inventory OF
his enterprise at the beginning of
the year keeps accounts of the diff
ferent farm projects or enterprises
and of expenditures and returns
throughout the year, and then
makes another inventory at the
close of the year BY such a pro-
cess, he is able to determine just
how profitable the years operations
have been in connection with each
project, and to determine how to
cut down on losses or to boost the
more profitable enterprises.
In short, the work started by the
Minnesota station has done much to
introduce business methods into
farming.
A fuller story of the work Of the
Minnesota Experiment Station Is
found in bulletin $40, Minnesota Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, 1886
1885, issued two weeks ago in con-
nection with the Semi-Centennial Of
the station, for free distribution.
Control of CutwOrms, Is Gardeners
Desire
This is the time Of year when the
gardener is mourning over the
ravages of the cutworm and wish
ing he knew how to keep the pests
under control. Well, H. L. Parten,
acknowledgement specialist-of
the extension division, University
Farm, st. Paul, advises the use Of
poison bait. This bait Is made Of
the following:
Bran, quart
Paris green, 1 heaping teaspoon
Molasses, n teacup
Water to moisten
If you need larger quantities, fol-
low the same proportions.
The mixture should be broad
cast in the garden or around the
plants in the evening after sun
down, as the cutworms come out
at night to feed.
Mr.. Parten suggests that gar
deners who come upon insects with
which they are unfamiliar should
bottle or box specimens of such in
sects and send them to the division
of Entomology, University Farm,
st. Paul, for Identification and for
instructions as to how to control
them.

J, G. Grant this week received
the following letter from Filler Han
sen, superintendent of the Pioneers
Home in Sitka:
This is to advise you that Jo-
seph Harding of Wrangell died at
the Pioneers Home September 90
1885. Mr.. Harding broke his hip in
the month of July, and apparently
the shock was too much for a man
of his advanced age to overcome.
'Mr. Harding was born Septem-
Der %, 1851, in the state of Maine
He same to Alaska in the fall of
1897 and resided in Southeastern
Alaska since that time. He leaves
two brothers.
81 have personally known Joe for
most of the thirteen years he spent
in the Home. He was a fine old
gentleman. He will be missed
around sitka and especially in the
Home where he has spent so many
years in comfort and, believe,
comparative happiness. Will you
please notify the Wrangell Sentinel
of his death so that his friends may
learn of his passing"

None of the trophies taken were

factory, Nevertheless, Mr., Duncan
McMartln was especially pleased
with his moose trophy with its ST.

One goat head with 1O-inch horns
also ranked high in symmetry and
general desirability,
Going in to the hunting areas
the two men enjoyed fine fishing
in several streams, Ptarmigan were
abundant and ducks, also. They Sc
cured excellent pictures, stills and

caribou Moose were numerous and
their movements in big herds were
most interesting to watch and re-

In every way the McMartins said
the hunt had afforded them the
keenest pleasure and satisfaction,
