TURKEYS WILL BE
FEWER IN SECTION

The movement OF turkeys into trade
from this territory is likely to be
lighter by 500 this year than last
year, declares Lynn L. Getten, man.
ager of the Poultry Department of
Land O'Lakes Creameries.
This fact, Mr.. Getten says. is caused
by the backward weather last spring,
which resulted in poor hatchability
and retarded the early growth. Feed
in the first part Of the season was
also expensive and probably caused
light feeding.
The advance price being paid in
the November pool by Land O'Lakes
is 20 cents, cents over last year.
The final settlement price will likely
be as much or more above 1884, says
Mr.. Getten.
A good many producers are hold
ing their birds until the December
pool but, as there is not likely to
be any Follower from the Thanksgiv-
ing pool. prices may not be affected
adversely.

Through good many of the events

human blood.
In Africa, imperialistic Italy, al
though ostracized by nearly all the
world, is trying to expand her terri
tory; in Asia. equally imperialistic
Japan is making new encroachments
upon Chinese soil; Great Britain's
firm hold on Egypt, now boiling with
rebelliOus opposition, is one example
Of unrelenting Imperialism - even
though it is very prudently-and
quite transparently- that
Egypt is an Independent nation, which
she is not: there are some who will
say that the fact of the Philippine
Islands tardily being granted partial
independence a few days ago. has
something to do with what has been
characterized as American imperial
ism.
The War.
1t seems as though the Italian. cam
paign of aggression against Ethiopia
has been proceeding too slowly to
suit Dictator Benito Mussolini. for the
other day he suddenly recalled his
general in charge. Emilio de Bono,

general staff of the Italian army.
From now on, some determined action

treacherous ambushes, can be Elk
pected to go ahead to the extent de-
manded of them by the government
at Rome.
There is a possibility that fighting
will not become very violent until
the new general arrives at the battle
field headquarters. and in this con-
nection a rather interesting conjec-
ture is set forth, for it is felt that
when Mussolini dispatches to Africa
his very greatest general, he is not
at this moment planning to start any
European trouble.

Italy's war against Ethiopia the
League of Nations economic sanctions

ASKOV WOMAN

Complications Following Major OpeI a.
tiOn Take Untimely Toll i'm
CIauSen Home.

The Askov community was greatly
saddened Wednesday morr ing when
the report came that Mrs. Hans Clau-
sen had passed away in FairvieN
hospital at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Clausen
had been seriously ill only a few days
when she was taken to the hospital
and underwent major operation
Complications which set in following
this operation caused her untimelv
death.
Cecilie Marie Petersen was born in
Eroskobing, Denmark, on June 90,
1880, and ut the time of her death
was few months past SIS years of
age. She came to this country when
but young girl of IA, directly to her
but who at that time resided at Alden
1t was at Alden that she met Hans
Clausen who later became her hus-
band on October II, 1898. Before
coming to Askov about 90 years ago
the Clausens resided at Albert Lca.
Their first residence in this COM
munity was in the place now occupied
by Mrs. P. N. Fenger, which home
they built. Their residence in the
village, however, was short and for
the past % years they had resided in
the pretty farm home just mile
south of Askov, which place they to-
gether with their family of indus
trious children built to what it is
today.
A Kind Disposition.
Mrs. Clausen, who was ever cheer
full and kind. played a large part in
building up that home and last fall
she and her husband felt they were
able to lay aside the heavy cares of
the farm and move to the village
where they purchased a home. Mrs.
Clausen was a member of the Danish
Lutheran church in the village from
which the funeral will be held Sat
urday at 2 p. m. with Rev. jobs.

CONSERVATIVES
WIN IN ENGLAND
Teigan Reviews Vote and Predicts
A National Liberal Party in
This Country.
BY HENRY G.. TEIGAN

Incomplete returns show that the
Conservative government was success
full in the elections in Great Britain
last week. With 90 districts missing
the Conservatives had won 423 seats
including, of course, certain affiliated
groups, while the opposition had gar
nered 1859 seats, practically all OF
which had been won by the Labor
party.
There is little doubt that the clever
timing of the election meant scores
of seats to the Conservatives. The
governments attitude in bringing
about the sanctions against Italy op-
Grated to destroy one of the Labor par
tvs principal issues for the time be-
ing. While it may be true that the
Conservatives were not sincere in
their attitude on this very important
issue, yet the electorate was not suf-
ficiently informed to judge as to who
were it's real friends.
Time, of course, will tell whether
the Conservative government will
stand by its prediction pledges.
AppOrtionment Unfair.
The apportionment of seats does
not, however, tell the true story. The
Labor partys showing was much bet
ter than indicated by the number of
seats won. The vote with % districts
missing was: Conservative, IL ,423,742;
opposition, 9,965,305.
If the seats had been distributed
on the basis of the votes cast, the
Conservatives should have won 800
seats as against 285 for the opposition
This would have gained Labor alone
about 260 seats. AS it is, Labor has
Only 14S members in the House 81
Commons.
Sheep Separated From Goats.
The important thing about the re-
suits of the British election is that
expression OF the workers. The work
ers of England no longer follow after
false gods as do too many of their
brethren in the United States.
The Liberal party, once so powerful
in England, is all but bankrupt. And
that is as it should be. The sheep are
being separated from the goats. The
exploiters have their party; the ex.
plotted have theirs. There is no twi.
light zone on the economic field, and
there should be none upon the politi
cal field.
Must Come in U. s. A..
The same will be true in America
in the near future. Governor F1oyG
B. Olson in his addresses in New York
City pointed this out. Eventually the
Democratic party will pass ont a.
the Liberal party of England has
done. The Republican party will re.
main on the map as the political ex.
preston of Pig Business. The wealth
producers will be represented politi
cally by the Farmer-Labor party.

Wheat, Rye Seed Need
Special Scab Treatment

Because OF the epidemic OF scab
on small grains this year, the dis
injecting of winter wheat and rye
seed is especially important this
fall. says DIR. j. j.. Christensen,
plant disease specialist, University
farm, st. Paul. The scab organism
also causes rotting of the seed.
Seeding blight. and root-rot. Seed
treatment is also important for the
prevention OF sinking smut of wheat
and OF smut and ergot of rye.
Before treating. seed should be
thoroughly famed to throw out light
and diseased kernels and to elm
mate smut balls and ergot bodies.
When rye contains considerable er-
got, tanning may not be enough.
Immersing the rye In a strong
brine will bring the ergot to the
top where 1t can be skinned Off.
The brine should contain 40 pounds
of common salt to each % gallons
OF water. Afterwards. the rye
should he washed In water to re-
move the excess salt.
For either rye or wheat, the
treatment recommended Is busting
with New Improved Ceresan at the
rate Of one-half per bushel.
Treated grain should stand for at
least "a hours before planting and
may be stored for months II de-
sired.
