Contrary to the opinions of few
people. the supplemental aids and
other state aids do not come out Of
the present or future local property
taxes. Most Of the money for these
state aids to schools comes from the
following three sources: Interest on
money from sale of the school lands
that were set aside by the Minnesota
Constitution; gross earnings taxes and
corporation taxes which falls mostly
on the three richest counties-Henne-
pin, Ramsey, and st. Louis; net in
come tax. This latter tax is based
on the ability to pay and if increased
properly. it would replace more of our
local property taxes. Motto: Get all
the state aid you can"

Activities OF The Naval Scouts
Field And Track Meet Sept. 10

A very enjoyable motor boat
cruise was held last Sunday after
noon by the Naval Scouts. The boys
met at the McConnelsville side of
the bridge, and took off in motor
boats with smaller boats, due to
some of those who had agreed to
help take the Scouts not showing
up for some reason. 1t was Won
derful afternoon for river cruise,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
After a leisurely cruise up the riv-
er, the party put in at the Naval
Scout Camp Lone Wolf, where a
ball game was enjoyed, followed by
track and field events. The follow
ing scouts were winners OF the
events, and thus moved themselves
up higher in the race for the Notre
Dame VS.. Ohio State football game
at Columbus: Gordon Anderson won
the high jump. clearing the poles at

Pritchard and Jack Matson tying

Hessiap Fly Abundant

The threat of Hessian fly is
greater this fall than at any time
within recent years. Not only did
the findings of the annual wheat
field survey indicate that the aver
age infestation of this years crop
was twice that of 1884, but it is
recognized that wheat stands were
at least twice as heavy. On this
basis there is four times as much
fly available for infesting the new
crop as was present at this time
last year. The surveyors found that
the increase in abundance was
greatest in those counties in which
the largest number of farmers are
known to have disregarded the rec
ommended seeding dates last aut-
umn. In view of these conditions,
it is suggested by j. S. Houser,
chief of the department Of entomol-
ogy of the Ohio agricultural expert
ment station, that Ohio wheat grow
ers should not seed this fall in ad-
vance of the 4'hy-free'' date. Not
only are. early seeded fields likely to
be seriously damaged, but the
spring brood of flies which will
emerge from such fields may pollute
the fields Of the entire community.
According to county agent, the fly
free date for this county is Oct. l.

A big field and track meet is be-
ing planned for next Sunday after
noon at the fair grounds at two
o'clock, with the Boy Scouts OF
America. All the parents are well
coined to come and root for their
boys. AS many boys belong to both
clubs, the boys will be divided fair
Iy between each club, to try and
give each club a fair team to fight
for the clubs victory There will
not be any picnic dinner next Sun
day, so the scouts will not have to
bring lunch. All Naval Scouts re-
port at 1870 at Big Elm tavern.
Remember to bring trunks to wear
in games. Hereafter all Naval
Scouts must wear uniforms, if you
go on outing. Parents are asked to
please cooperate with scout officers
and have uniforms ready. Many
boys say their mothers did not wash
their uniform, when asked why they
report for outings in civilian dress.
There is no excuse for this, unless
sickness at home or some emer-
gency. This has not been the case.
All Naval Scouts know week in
advance about outings, sometimes
two weeks, and still they report for
outings in everything but their uni
form. We need the cooperation es.
peciallv of the mothers, if we are to
do successful work with the boys
Please help the Naval Scout officers
by giving us your cooperation. One
of the virtues the Naval Scouts try
to teach is obedience, and we order
the bows to report in uniform, and
thew do not, and blame the folks al
home when asked why they disobey
orders. We are not saying this is
the truth; but this is what the boys
tell us-and if this is true, we can,
not train boys in obedience, with
parents pulling the other way
Signed, Fr. Preston, Naval Scout
Director.

COUNTY CLUB AGENT NEWS

County Agent James F. Hum has
returned from Cambridge, primed
with the details of the new AAA
wheat program that will be offered
farmers here soon.
The contract is to run for four
years, from 1896 to 1889, inclusive,
as compared with the three-year Pc
riod of the present contract. The
longer period will reduce the cost of
frequent sign-up campaigns, and
will enable the contract signer to
plan his operations over the four
year period. Provision is made for
voluntary withdrawal by individ-
uals from the contract at the end of
two years, il a farmer has fully
complied with the contract. The
secretary Of agriculture may also
terminate the contract at the end
of any marketing year if circum-
stances warrant, or if a national
referendum on the question is held
and a majority of the contract sign
ers vote~against continua tions4efa the.
contract ~as~Tw twenty-five percent of
the cooperating wheat producers in
any of the principal wheat regions
lIdy lHidldiS HdliOudi ISl0I 6uuuIu
upon petition. Under the new con-
tract the producer will have addi-
tional assurance of a full party re-
turn on his allotment through a
f1eXible-payment principle. Under
this plan, producers will receive a
first payment each year, and then at
the end of the year, the second ad-
justment payment will be fixed at
such an amount as will tend to give
the producer a parity price.
The reduction each year will de-
pend upon the national and world
wheat situation. The contract pro-
vides that the reduction may be as
much as 25 percent under the base
acreage. This is the extreme limit,
however. The 1933-35 contract
called for as much as 20 percent.
but the most required was in 1884,
when | 5 percent was asked For
1885 the reduction asked was only
10 percent and the figure for the
coming year is five percent.
The contract will be open to all
wheat producers who can establish
a base production and acreage. I'm
der certain conditions, farmers who
did not grow wheat in all of the
base years may sign contracts and
receive adjustment payments on a
limited scale. Producers who have
not been contract signers and who
wish to go into the new program
should get in touch with their coun-
~ agent Immediately.
