Base
Ball Games
July 49,
Players Must Ride Donkies
While in Action
Real Fun
TO OPEN AT 7 O'CLOCK
Spills and Hilarious Comedy
Result from Peculiar
Ball Game

Robert Swift Post, American Le-
gion, of this city, has booked a
comedy event, which for pure fun
and hilarious sport cannot be beat
en-. This event is a Donkey ball
game which will be staged at the
Fair Grounds the evenings of
Thursday and Friday, July 18th
and 10th. The games will commen-
ce at seven o'clock.
Those who witnessed this sport
last year enjoyed it immensely and
it was through their efforts that
the event was again brought to
the city. Louis Lovik, Commander
of the local post, is now looking
for several ball players to take
part in this sport.
A travelling company, with sew
eral trained donkeys, will stage
this game. All players, including
the base runners, with the excep-
ton of the pitcher and catcher,
must ride one of the donkeys while
playing. The donkeys are trained
to do their stuff. They sometimes
refuse to run from one base to an
other and sometimes refuse to
carry their riders, as was the case
last year when Fred Mossman was
forcibly elected from the back Of
one Of the long-eared animals.
One never knows what these an
imals are going to do, and therein
lies the fun. Hilarious sport for
both the grownups and children.
If a person has once seen a game
Of donkey baseball they will want
to see it again, If not, it will pay
them to visit these games.
The price Of admission has been
set at Csc for adults, and 10c for
children. If you didn't see Casey
Gaspard, Mike Wernig, or several
Of the other stars in action last
year, you missed some real fun.
Do not miss it this year. There
will be several new stars in action
on the two teams which will be
made up of strictly Sauk Centre
men this year. 1t Is quite feat to
ride these donkeys and local boys
fall easy, and peculiarly the better
the rider the quicker he falls.

Mature Mating
Barley Needed
Farmers Urged to Give Care To
Shocking and Threshing
of Crop

Shock Mating Barley Carefully,
Federal Grain Man Urges
The federal grain grades stipulate
that barley with more than four
per cen weather damaged kernels
cannot class as mating barley, ac-
cording to M. J. johnson, Federal
grain supervisor at Minneapolis.
The care and manner of shocking
and Gaping determine to a consid-
cradle degree the amount of wealth
er damaged grain.
Shocking and Gaping, says Mr..
Johnson, Are regardedby many
farmers as unimportant details. A
poorly set shock may blow down
and the bundles become moldy or
tainted with ground odor. The
careful farmer shocks his grain
well, and If necessary, later resets
fallen bundles.
"Shock-capping pays in areas Of
moderately heavy rainfall, pro-
viding the caps are firmly placed.
Cap sheaves blown off should be re-
placed"
Some Of the most progressive
mailing barley growers" Mr.. John
son adds, "load and thresh their
down bundles separately from the
shocked grain. By this means, they
keep their weathered barley from
depressing the grade Of their better
grain"
Mature Barley Needed for Mating
Fancy mailing barley needs to
be well matured declared Ralph
Grim, Extension Crops Specialist
Of the University. Immature bar
ley or that cut zone the green side"
will not be in position to COM
mand the premium on the mailing
barley market which Minnesota
barley deserves.
MANY Of our barley growers,
says Mr.. Grim, "Are used to cut
ting barley for feed use and when
that Is the case they often harvest
before the grain has fully ripened.
That may be all right for feed barr
ley but barley as q dash crop for
the mating trade needs to be ma
tured."
well ripened barley Is required
because the process Of mating is
one Of termination and mixture
of mature and immature grain will
not sprout uniformly in the malt
house." he explains.
The advice given by Mr.. Grim Is
passed on to all barley growers In
this territory by County Agent e.

ideal place for band festival of
this kind The new modern band
shell has been built according to
plans furnished by the c. G.. Conn
Co., of Elkhart, Indiana. It is ideal
ly located, with the park grounds
gently sloping toward it, and with
beautiful Sauk Lake as back
ground.
Bands from the following towns
will participate in the festival:
Alexandria, Appleton, Brooten,
Correll, Glenwood, Hoffman, Long
Prairie, Paynesville, Starbuck and
Sauk Centre.
This music festival is not a con-
test and al concerts are free.
Band men from the district, not
members of the bands listed, are
also welcome to participate, and
they are invited to bring their in
struments. Ideal picnic grounds
have been provided at the park and
those from out or town who will
attend the festivas are invited to
take advantage OF them.
The afternoon program Of con-
certs by the various bands will
start at two o'clock. At 4:30 there
will be a rehearsal of the massed
bands at the Junior High School
auditorium. The grand concert by
all of the bands will be held at the
park commencing at eight o'clock
that evening.
The first of these band festivals
was held at Glenwood in 1882. Ma
jor Landers, well-known army
bandmaster and author of the
Iowa Band law, acted as conductor
for the massed band. The second
annual event took place at Alex
andria in 1888, with Carl Dillon,
bandmaster of the Fort Smelling
band, acting as guest conductor.
The 1884 festival was held at Ap-
pleton, with Mr.. Prescott, Of the
State University band, directing
the combined bands. The object of
these festivals is to promote good
fellowship among musicians, to
help inspire the younger musicians
and to develop appreciation for
good music.
Dr. P. w. Hanson, who Is in
charge Of this festival, extends an
invitation to all folk interested in
band music to attend. It will be a
worthwhile event and should be
very largely attended.

A picture of Joe E. Brown,
the famous comedian, which
appeared in the rotogravure
section of the Minneapolis

cradle comment in this city.
Joe was donned in a Sauk
Centre baseball uniform.
The picture was taken from
his latest movie venture, ALI

Lardner. On going to the big
leagues Joe says he learned to
play baseball in Sauk Centre.
According to reports Of the pic
ture, he is called to the plate,
his first time at bat in the big
league and he socks out a
beautiful homer. He was ap-
plauded and acclaimed a hero.
After compliments from fans
and teammates were lavishly
bestowed upon him, he says that
the homer would only be a two
base hit in Sauk Centre. No
doubt, this picture would be a
real box office asset in this
city.

Minnesota Farmers to Gain
100000 by Four-Cents-
a-BuShel Increase
TAX IS UNCHANGED
Reserve Funds Sufficient To
Meet Higher Payments
AAA Announces

Secretary Henry A. Wallace Mon
day established the minimum 1885
wheat reduction benefit payments
at 33 cents net bushel.
The gross payment last year was
80 cents with about 20 cents net to
the farmers after certain expens-
es of administration were deduct
ed.
Minnesota farmers were paid ap-
proximately $3,700,O00 in wheat
bonuses in 1884 and it Is estimated
that, on a basis of present acreage
and the increased payments Min
nesota farmers will receive about
S4,5OOOOO for the present crop re-
duction.
Chester C. Davis, AAA admins
traitor, said the increase of four
cents bushel for the 1885 allot-
ments represents additional in
come to cooperating wheat pro-
ducers of approximately $4,000
900.
Under the new schedules, Davis
asserted, producers will receive ad-
justment payments of at least
Sis, 900, 900 on the 1885 crop in
stead Of $1OO,OOO,OO0 on the %
cent basis.
No change was made in the pro-
cessing tax rate of 80 cents BUSH
ell. The AAA said the additional ad-
justment payments were made pos
sible by reserves accumulated from
the tax on wheat produced by
farmers not under allotment con-
tracts. The increased payment, it
was said, will not result in any de-
ficit in the wheat budget since
available funds are sufficient to
cover the increase.
The 1885 payments are to be
made in two installments.
The first installment, payable as
soon as compliance with contracts
s checked, will be at the rate OF
20 cents a bushel and the final
payment will be made when local
administrative costs for the fiscal
year, 1935-1936 have been deter
mined and deductions made.
Officials said the second install
ment may be increased above IL
cents If the difference between the
average farm price and the wheat
parity price for the current mar
keting year Is more than 80 cents
a bushel.
