.SOLONS ADOPT
STATE Law ON
CREAM GRADING
Three Grades Established
By Legislative Act
Passed March 20

The good dairymen's public
enemy No. 1, bad cream, became
outlawed on March 20 when the
cream grading bill was passed by
the state legislature.
Three marketable grades are
set up, the sweet cream grade
and grade one and grade two.
"Sweet cream" is defined as fresh,
clean, fine favored, with not more
than 2 per cent acidity. Grade
one must be clean, free from un-
desirable odors and fiavors and
not more than 6 per cent acid.
Grade two includes cream too acid
for grade l and may contain un-
desirable odors and fiavors in
moderate degree. Unlawf u
cream, which is barred from sale,
is that which contains dirt, filth
and other foreign matter which
makes it unfit for human con-
sumption. Buyers finding unlaw-
full cream must mark the contain
er with a condemnation tag and
color the cream with . permanen
but harmless color, so that no one
else will buy it.
Creamery operators and cream
buyers will be licensed by the
state, at dollar annual fee, on
proof that they can properly
grade cream as to quality and
butterfat content. They are re-
quired to make at least one sedi-
ment test monthly of each pat
ron's cream. Buyers who violate
the law face a $25 to $1OO fine
and revocation of license for sec
ond offense.
The average per capita con-
sumption of butter for the nation
is Is pounds annually. In Min
nesota it is % pounds. If the ma
tional average could be raised to
the Minnesota figure dairymen
would profit greatly, and the drive
for a better cream supply will
help to change the eating habits
of the oleo users, says j. S. Jones,
secretary and legislative repre-
sentative of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation.

MURRAY COUNTY
EACESBANKRUPTCY
Finds Itself Unable to Meet
Its Obligations as
They Mature

Murray county, faced with in
ability to meet it's obligations,
plans to go into bankruptcy un-
less a scale down of debts can be
arranged with its creditors.
Should the petition be filed, Mur-
ray will be the first county in
Minnesota to take advantage of
the amendment to the federal
bankruptcy act approved by con-
gress May "a, 1884.
The board of commissioners of
the county at their last meeting
adopted resolution declaring
that an emergency exists. It en-
ployed Frank w. Murphy of
Wheaton to represent the county
ir negotiations. Mr.. Murphy has
expressed confidence that the
creditors can be brought together
to work out satisfactory settle
ment and avoid bankruptcy.
Major cause of the plight of the
county is that for three years a
large part of the county has had
poor crops. For several years
drouth has reduced the crops and
last year hail caused nearly a. to-
tai loss in the north third Of the
county. The heavy burden Of
many ditch bonds has been too
great for property owners, adding
to the generally stressed condit-
ion of the county's finances.
1t has also been reported that
the village of Slayton, county seat
of Murray county, is in an even
worse financial condition than the
county and is considering the
same method to solve its prob
lens.

Prices Likely to Improve
Due to Wind Damage
in Southwest

Although anything can happen
between now and harvest time.
farmers are agreed that crop
prospects here are excellent at
this time due to comparatively
plentiful snow and rain during
the fall and winter months.
Moreover the outlook for pro-
fitable prices in the fall are
bright, improved in recent weeks
at the expense of farmers in the
Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska
area where hopes for a crop have
been buried under a heap of sand
in terrific dirt storms.
Compared with last year at this
time, moisture is plentiful with
many sloughs and potholes filled
with water for the first time in
several seasons and the soil and
subsoil well moist by rain and
melting snow.
Prospects are that pastures will
develop quickly, boon to many
farmers who have been buying
feed for livestock. With occasion
al rains through May and June, a
small grain crop will be assured.
Seed has been a problem on
some farms in sections where
crops dried out or were hailed out
last summer but the seed loan
bill passed by the legislature and
taken advantage of by the county
commissioners is making seed
available.
Prices of grain at this time are
well above last springs levels,
corn having made the greatest
gain, approximately 100 per cent.
Barley is so per cent higher, oats
rs per cent and wheat 33 per cent
above last years scale.

The Redwood gazette., 1935-03-28

Of St. Paul and Minneapolis, I
found myself out of a job and
conceived the idea, with a young
friend of mine, formerly of Red
wood Falls, Herbert v. Ruter, of
buying the Gazette and establish
ing an up-to-date weekly news
paper.
The Gazette was still a four
page paper, two pages of which
was ready print, turned out by
what was then known as a ready
print house. We carried on nego-
tiations with Mr.. Aiken and be-
came the owners and publishers
of the Gazette August 1, 1892.
The office was moved from the
second floor of the building stand
ing on the corner of Second and
Mill streets, now replaced by a
modern building occupied by
Montgomery Ward, to the second
floor of the brick building owned
by my brother, Otto Schmahl,
who then engaged in the drug
business, occupying all of the
first floor. 1t was then that there
was installed the Babcock cylind-
er press which is now being dis
carded and is giving away to the
new press. The cylinder press
installed at that time was pur-
chased of the Minnesota Type
Foundry Co., and was placed in
position by the we'll known C. 1.
johnson, then in the employ of
the type foundry, but later we'll
known among printers and pub
Eshers throughout the state as a
supply man, and who but recent
ly passed away in st. Paul. With
it was installed a gasoline en-
gine. Owing to the weight of the
machinery, it became necessary
to prop the floor underneath for
fear of collapse, and for long
time my brother insisted that the
operation of the machinery reliev-
ed him of shaking the medicine
under prescriptions of the doctors.
Mr.. Aiken afterwards succeed
ed Mr.. Ruter as partner and
later we constructed the larger
portion of the building, now occu-
pied by the Gazette. C. l. john
son came from st. Paul to take
down the presses from the second
floor of the drug store building
and re-installed the same in the
new building. He always enjoyed
coming to Redwood Falls on ac-
count of the newspaper parties
that occurred in the old Gazette
office and it was only few days
before he passed away that he
wondered if he would ever again
have the opportunity of INSTALL
ing new press for the Redwood
Gazette.
The cylinder press which is now
giving way to the new press
would have done 43 years of serv-
Ice if permitted to continue until
August l next. AS / have looked
at the Gazette weekly from the
day when I became a publisher
down to the present time, / have
wondered at the excellent manner
in which it has stood the wear and
tear Of work and time.
The press that is being discard
ed has done practically all kinds
of work. This means that, aside
from printing newspapers, it has
turned out posters, hand bills,
bookwork and everything that
was too large for the job presses.
While in Fargo, l learned the
process of chromatic printing and
this press practically turned out
some mighty fine chromatic one
and two sheet hand bills, adver-
tising Fourth of July and other
celebrations. In other words. it
has performed well and has earn
ed the price paid for it. May the
new press take up and continue
its work as successfully.
