Farmers Will Be Able to
Borrow IS Cents on Corn
MANY PLACE AT
LIVESTOCK SHOW

Redwood county youngsters re-
turned from the Junior Livestock
show at South St. Paul Thursday
with the longest list of placings
ever earned by the county in the
annual show. Seven of nine cal
yes from here were sin the mon
ey".
James Kohler's Aberdeen An
gus yearling placed sixth while
his brother, Paul, showed the
sixth place Shorthorn yearling.
Faye Armitage of Redwood Falls
entered the fifth place Shorthorn
yearling.
Horace Wetmore of Redwood
Falls received ninth money in the
Hereford yearling show while
Nels Hansen of Walnut Grove
took fourth and Junior Armitage
of Redwood Falls, sixth, in the
Shorthorn calf exhibit.
Neal Madsen of Morgan got
tenth money with his Hereford
calf and Ivan Klabunde of Glenn
ents showed the fourth place pig
in it's class, a mixed group includ-
ing all except the two most COM
mon breeds. Gladys Wells of
Redwood Falls showed the second
place Buff Orpington poultry ex-
hibit.
The calves were sold at auction
bringing from 1914 to 20 cents per
pound for their proud young own
ers.
Nate H. Bovee, county agent,
pointed out that youths in local
clubs are advised against buying
high priced stock for club pro.
jects, the idea being to make club
membership accessible to as many
as possible by using ordinary
grades. The fact that SO many
got in the money, therefore, is
very commendable and the young
sters are entitled to considerable
credit for placing in classes where
many of the best grades are en-
tered. he said.

Bushel Rate Same as Two
Years Ago; Program
Starts December 1
Only Signers Of 1885 Corn
Hog Contract Eligible
To Make Loans

Although the new corn loan pro-
gram recently announced by the
AAA will not begin until Deem
Der 1, there are several things
which farmers wishing 20 borrow
can do to prepare for this pro-
gram, says Nate H. Bovee, county
agent.
The cribs in which the corn is
stored must have suitable floors
and weather-proof raofs". No
further details are givens but it is
presumed that the floors will have
to be raised at least six inches
above the ground, as in the two
previous corn loan programs.
Many cribs, with a small amount
of labor and materials, can be
made to qualify under the loan
program.
Only those farmers who have
signed the 1886 corn-hog contract
will be eligible to borrow. The
corn must be huslsed, stored in the
ear, and of such quality as to
grade number three or better. I'm

loan programs, corn grading as
low as number four was accepted
as collateral. The change was
made to encourage feeding the
poorer grades.
The loan rate will be As cents
per bushel, the same as was es-
tablished for the 1933-34 corn
loan program, but ten cents per
bushel less than that set for 1884
35. No information is yet avail
able as to what rate of interest
will be charged for the 1856
loans or when they will be- called
for payment.
No forms for applying for the
loans will be available until about
December 1. With county ware
housing boards already establish
ed in the majority of counties, in
GLIDING Redwood, however, the
program should proceed rapidly
after that date.

COrn-HOg Contract
Is Being Prepared

Work has been started on the
contract for the new two-year ad-
Justment program for corn and
hogs following conferences in
Washington of producers, state
agricultural specialists and AAA
officials on fundamental details of
the new program.
The main objective of the new
program will be to maintain a
balance between the production
and consumption of corn and hogs
during the next two years. To ac-
complish this objective, it will be
necessary to (I prevent an ex-
cessive production of corn in 1896
and 1897, (2) allow an increase in
next years pig crop that would
be at least as great as it is esti-
mated would take place were no
adjustment program in effect, and
60 prevent an excessive increase
in the 1887 pig crop.
The Adjustment Administration
has recommended that corn pro-
duction next year be limited to 95
million acres, or about 10 million
fewer acres than would be likely
to be harvested without adjust
ment. This would require a total
adjustment Of about 20 per cent
on the part of all contract signers.
Depending upon the 1886 corn
crop and the demand expected
next fall for the 1887 crop, a corn
acreage reduction of Is per cent
has been proposed for 1897.
Proposed hog adjustments are
calculated to provide for q 80 per
cent increase in federally inspec-
ted slaughter in 1936-37 above the

"Just whiting" has turned in
to a profitable enterprise for Sell
mer o. Helgeson, young Belview
farmer whose jackknife carvings
including plaques, boxes and
lamps are on display in Lauter-
bach's store window in Redwood
Falls.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Helgeson, who came to this coun-
try from Norway, Selmer has al
ways been interested in the early
Norsemen and it was this interest
that led him to take up wood car
wing in 1880. That year the Nor
wegian sailing boat, Roald
Amundsen, arrived in st. Paul,
having traced Columbus route
from Palos, Spain to Havana,
Cuba and navigated up the Miss
issippi, captained by Gerhard Fol-
gero. Resembling the old Viking
ships, the vessel was pictured in
The Farmer, a magazine. Hedge

produced it in gumwood using a

Admit Shooting Horejsi Gilbert Statement Says
Time Limit MADE
FOR FEDERAL AID
ON BANGS DISEASE
June 30 Next Year Set AS
Final Chance For Free
Test Service

June 80, 1896, may mark the
end of the federal governments
aid to farmers in stamping out the
ravages of Bangs disease, accord
ing to word received by County
Agent Nate II. Bovee from DR.. "
j. Fretz, federal veterinarian, St.
Paul.
The message says that funds
paying indemnities on infected an
imals and for paying the costs of
blood-testing to determine wheth-
er or not the cattle have this dis
ease will probably be available on
ly until June 80. Farmers wish
ing to receive government aid in
cleaning up the disease are urged,
therefore, to arrange Immediately
with the county agent to have
their cattle tested.
The testing agreement now be-
ing offered farmers is the most
ibetal plan for controlling the
disease the government has yet
offered. The maximum indemnity
for diseased grade cows and hei-
fers marketed for slaughter has
been increased from $40 to $25 pei
head and all limitation has been
removed from the number of free
tests the government will make OF
herds containing infected animals
The government will also make
second test, free of charge tc
the owner, Of herds containing nc
infected animals when first tested
This offer should appeal especially
to farmers wishing to have Their
herds state-accredited as Bangs
disease-free herds, Mr.. Bovee said
Indemnities will be paid in two
parts, Mr.. Bovee explains; first
the salvage value of the ANNA
when marketed for slaughter, ane
second, a payment from the gov.
eminent equal to the difference
between the salvage value of the
animal for breeding or production
purposes. In no case, however
may the government payment ex
coed $25 for each grade female OF
$50 for each purebred female OF
male.

Marquette Defeated
In Saturday Game

Saturday was a bad day for
many indicated football elevens
and among the victims of upsets
was the Marquette university
team which had its string of vic
tories marred by a rs to 6 trim
ming from Temple, at Philadel-
phia.
Jack Lauterbach blocked a kick
which would have meant an extra
point for Coach Pop" Warmers
team and Ward Cuff caught sever
al passes in the Hilltoppers march
to score. A third Redwood Falls
boy likely to break into the play
next year, Wallace Lauterbach, al
so made the Temple trip.
Marquette will close its season
this week against Creighton, of
Omaha, at Milwaukee.

His motive, given in confidence
to Captain H. A. Vail of the Min
nesota bureau of criminal appre-
hension, is believed to have been
jealousy.
Gilbert said that he took Hore-
jsi's 16 gauge shotgun from the
kitchen of the Horejsi home and
standing about four feet from
him, shot away the lower part of
his jaw and wounded him in the
chest as he dozed in a chair be-
side the living room stove. He
closed his eyes as he shot, he said
holding the gun at As degree an
gle.
He had waited, lying on a bed
in the living room, until Horejsi
had been asleep for ten or Is min
utes.
Still Historically urging author
tiles to pray that Horejsi live and
asserting his great fondness for
him, Gilbert says that he could not
bring himself to shoot again when
he saw that Horejsi was still
alive. He ran from the house at
ter the crime and then back into
it to find Horejsi wandering about
seeking help. Horejsi then left
the house and leaving a trail of
blood, got the automobile in which
the two drove to neighbours
house and from there to Redwood
Falls for medical treatment. Gil
bert previously insisted that he
got out the car.
Gilbert says that he loaded the
gun in the morning, but denies
having contemplated the attemp-
ted murder until the two were re-
turning from trip to Olivia
where Gilbert became intoxicated.
The man has a previous police
record which he revealed in q 35
page statement given Captain
Vail Thursday. He was once ar
rested for selling illegal alcohol
in Minneapolis drug store where
he was employed and once for
drunk and disorderly conduct.
His father, unemployed, is in
Montana and he has a sister and
InIee DrOtnefS, one OF tnem MS
twin.
Refuting several points in the
story told by Gilbert, Horejsi gave
signed statements to Rev. Geof-
frey O'Sullivan Thursday after
noon which pointed to Gilbert as
his attacker.
Horejsi, unable to speak with
his jaw shot away, wrote answers
to questions put to him by the
priest, in his hospital room. He
asserted that after he had been
shot IS he was DOING in his chair
Monday night, he ran up the
stairs to the second floor of the
house. and unable to find Gilbert
there, returned to the first floor

BASKETBALL CODE
CHANGES OUTLINED
Man-in-the-hOle Offensive
Out; Faster-breaking
Game Expected

At the request Of The Gazette,
Coach Earle Obermeyer of Red
wood Falls High school, outlines
in the following article the major
changes made in basketball rules
for this year:
Complaints from the fans have
caused the National Interscholas-
tic Basketball Rules committee to
drastically change the rules for
high school basketball games
played in the 1886 season. The
two chief complaints have been as
follows: (1) The game became too
standardized. Coaches were con-
tented to stick to the old "Man-in-
the-hole" system of attack with
it's monotonous same plays and
maneuvers. (2) The rules have in
the past given an advantage to
tall boys. The game had become
one for abnormally sized fellows.
With these two major points to
work from the rules committee re-
vised the code so that the fans
would be pleased, normal boys
would be given better break and
so that the game would be speed
ed up.
The changes Of greatest impor-
lance are first, the one pertaining
to the free throw. There in no
center Jump after a free throw is
made. The defensive team, after
successful throw takes the ball
out of bounds at that end of the
floor. A technical foul results if
any member of the offensive team
touches or is touched by the ball.
This rule will cut down center
jumps about 80 per cent and will
fill in the non-activity period fol-
lowing free throws. This will be
great inducement to the fast
break system and will increase
playing time noticeably, resulting
in higher scores.
The second major change is the
one which pertains to the man in
the free throw lane. No offensive
man with or without the baH)
may remain inside the free throw
lane for a period of longer than
three seconds. This change prac-
tically outlaws the "man-in-the-
hole" basketball offensive. Most
teams have in the past depended
upon planting tall man about 10
feet out from the basket. All
plays started from this man. Much
tussling and strife resulted be-
tween this man and his guard for
tho favOrita Snot in the lane
