Seldom has any major league infield equaled that performance .. Hank Greenberg accounted for 139 markers, Charley Gehringer for 127, and Bill Rogell for 100. :. The Tigers hope to have the last laugh on Dizzy Dean in the world series next Fall. <. They cant forgive him for laughing st Greenberg after striking out the big ffrstbaseman in the final game of last autumn's show. [.

The suggestion to the Legislature
that it order a non-political investiga-
ton of the Department of ConServa-
tion should be readily accepted. The
findings of a committee composed of
legislators who, for political reasons.
are interested in the result, would
not be worth the paper it would be
written ON. 1t is safe to say that
there is not a conservationist in the
state who would not accept as honest
and unbiased the findings of a COM
mittee composed of the state presi-
dent of the IZaak Walton League, the
president of the Minnesota Game Pro-
tective League. and the head of the
forestry department of the University
of Minnesota, not a one of which are
members of the political party to
which Governor Olson belongs. In
view of the vicious and malicious at
tacks that have been made against
the Department of Conservation. it is
entitled to an investigation by COM
mittee such as the above.

State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

If the present session of the State
Legislature develops into a dog and
cat fight, the fault will lie not with
senators and representatives who are
more concerned with playing politics
than they are with passing remedial
legislation in the interest of a de-
pression-stricken people. In a state
ment issued by the Governor few
days before his inaugural message.
he said that it was not question
whether he or the Legislature wins,
but rather whether legislation in
the interest of the people will be
passed.

Governor Olson told the legislators
that fear that some mysterious red
influence will prepare the text for
the free text book proposal made by
him was just political bugaboo."
With the campaign now over, these
remarks were really superfluous as
the legislators know it themselves.
They might try to fool the people
but hardly themselves. The Cover
nor, by way of irony, reminded them
that all they had to do was to pro-
vide by law that the selection of
free text books rest with the very
same authorities as now select the
school text books.

effects of the depression throughout

POTATO BUGS DON'T
LIKE JAPANESE SPUDS

Bemidji-Japanese products are
competing with those of the rest
of the world, but it remained for
Paul Michalla, farmer at Solway
near Bemidji, to start competing
with japanese products by raising
japanese potatoes. Michalla plant
ed six hills of potatoes last spring
and has watched their growth with
great interest. The potatoes, even
tiny when full grown, are blue in
color and are said to be eaten by
the Japanese as an after meal de-
licacy. The vines are an unusual
ly dark green, and potato bugs
stay clear of them. Michalla put
a number of common potato bugs
on the vines at different times but
they all flew away as quickly as
possible, he states.
