Until yesterday afternoon the South

an ebony pony. in sight. Then came
the West Shore Country Club team OF
Harrisburg, Pa, rated at no-"n-o

through rumors that they had dealt
dire defeat to some Virginia squad or
other.
In one of the tightest, hardest

a 9-8 victory over the 10th Field Ar

and happily the umbrous crown OF the

Stronger, So Are Foes.

mems teams are stronger than
they were four years ago, especially in
the sprints. News OF record japanese
performance in the 100 meters altered
the idea that there was an edge n
favor of the Americans, who are plac-
ing their main reliance in Peter Flick
of New York, whose best time is 57.2
seconds for the hundred.
Otherwise Japan is conceded an ad-
vantage in the l 500 meters free style
and the United States in the back

CORN-HOC CHECKS
TO BE PAID IN 60
DAYS, B0VEE SAYS
Soil Conservation Program
Similar To AAA Nears
White House
Wheat Control Checks Will
Arrive In 30 Days;
Report Says

The farmer who holds reduction
contracts under the defunct AAA
is not the new forgotten man,
County Agent Nate H. Bovee said
this week, with the announcement
that checks due on the second
payment Of the 1885 program will
arrive in 80 days for wheat con-
tract signers and in go days for
corn-hog farmers.
At Washington, d. c. senate
and house conferees reached
agreement Tuesday at their first
meeting to adjust differences
over the administrations soil
conservation subsidy bill. House
changes were accepted in most in
stances. Senate action also will
be required before the AAA re-
placement legislation can go to
the White House.
The measure came out of the
conference chamber still carrying
the original broad powers for the
secretary of agriculture to make
grants to farmers directly OF
through states for two years, to
be followed by a permanent pro-
gram of subsidies going only to
states that adopt federal formu-
las for crop control through
changing from commercial to
soil-building crops.
The conferees accepted the con-
troversial house provision requir-
ing the secretary of agriculture
to re-establish as fast as practic-
able the pre-war parity between
the purchasing power Of farm and
non-farm net income without dis
couraging production below the
normal domestic human consump-
tion in the years 1920-29.
Another clause was expanded
to include lands devoted to dairy
production. This was inserted tl
allay fears that dairy cattle farm
ers would not benefit.
Also accepted with some modi-
fication was the house amendment
permitting tenants and share
croppers to participate in subsidy
benefits under the temporary pro.
gram.

new FALL BRINGS
YEARS SNOW NEAR
TOTAL OF s FEET
Huge Drifts Give Promise
of Bumper Crops; Seed
Only Problem
Rotary PlOw Not Delivered
as Promised; Long Wait
for PlOws Expected

Rebuffed over a three day period
of mild weather, winter struck
back with all its fury Wednesday
adding another layer to the al
ready thick blanket covering
southwestern Minnesota and
again crippling all traffic and
leaving Redwood county locked in
a barrier of snow.
Favored by temperatures, from
Sunday through Tuesday, which
assembled to 38 degrees above and
never fell below nine above,
breaking the record SO day con-
secutive run of sub-zero tempera-
lures, the county felt itself pounc-
ed upon in the early morning
hours Wednesday when heavy
snow began to fall.
Whipped by a strong northwest
wind, snow had filled the cuts,
opened by plows after the bliz-
zard two weeks ago, by 9 a. m.
and every town in the county was
again marooned from any outside
communication. The mercury al
so began a steady drop from 20
degrees above at Z a. m. and is
expected to end it's descent today
at some point below zero.
Waiting for the. storm to abate
before measuring the amount OF
snowfall, N. B. Andersen, Red
wood Falls weather observer, ex-
pected that it would reach about
seven or eight inches bringing
the winters total since November
to 671s inches. This is an in
crease Of nearly seven times over
last year when 10 inches of snow
was recorded.
Fear that it would require q
longer period than ever before te
push back the drifts engulfing the
county roads, was expressed Wed.
nesday by Richard Cook, county
engineer.
''It was a terrific task to oper
the roads after the last blizzard,
he commented, "and with the cuts
as high as they are now, it viii
be almost like bucking a granite
wall when we set to work to try
to clear the roads. 1t will take
much longer this time before the
roads will be open,' he said.
The crew of a plow sent Tues
day night to Walnut Grove called
Mr.. Cook at IL a. m. Wednesday
to say that it would be unadvis.
able to return and rather thar
have the machine become stalled
in an attempt to make its way
here, he ordered it to remain a
Walnut Grove.
Prospects were that the county
would be without the aid of the
rotary plow it ordered the frs
week Of the month as the concern
from which it was purchased has
not yet delivered it. The company
promised to have the plow deliv.
cred by February II but when il
failed to arrive the order wa:
cancelled. The cancellation, how
ever, was later withdrawn.
