Soil Conservation Program
Reaches Work-Sheet Stage
Henry Lau Elected to Head
County Group, Sandager
Vice President

With the organization of the
Redwood County Soil Conservation
association completed in a meeting
at Wabasso April IA, the county
and community committees this
week have turned their attention
to helping farmers make out their
work sheets. The information Civ
en- on these sheets will be used
later by the committees in estab-
fishing the bases of payment for
the individual farms.
Henry C. Lau of Tracy was
elected president of the county as
sociation and chairman of the
county executive committee. M.
N. Sandager was elected associa-
ton vice president and committee
vice chairman; A. M. Wilson, Sec
retary; A. P. Falk, treasurer; j.
L. Slaymaker, executive commit
teeman and George Claussen, al
ternate committeeman.
The county committee and coun-
ty agent have scheduled a series
of "work-sheet centers' to which
farmers may come for informa-
tion and assistance in filing in
their work-sheets. Following these,
the community committeeman will
complete the work-sheet survey by
calling at farms.
When this work has been COM
pleted in all communities, the
county committee will have a re-
cord of the cropping practices on
Ievery farm, and each farmer, at
any time before next fall, may
then apply for a cash grant" IN

AnnualReport
Indicates Big
Pea Growth
2ND LARGEST AMONG
8 IN SOUTHWESTERN
MINNESOTA

The phenomenal growth of the
Redwood Falls Production Credit
association which has made it the
second largest among eight in
southwestern Minnesota was re-
vealed in the report made by the
secretary, w. M. Smith, at the an
nual meeting attended by appro-
ximately rs members here Tues
day.
The need for the production
credit service and the soundness
of its loans as indicated by the re-
payment part of the report were
frequently referred to by George
Susens, president of the Produc-
tion Credit corporation of St. Paul,
who was the principal speaker.
A total of 493 applications for
loans were received in 1885 COM
pared with 1868 the previous year.
The number of loans made in
creased from 1873 to $50 while the
amount of loans made in 1884 was
S120,114 and in 1885, 1914, ,445. Re-
garded as a particularly good in
dication of the soundness of the
organization and the quality of its
loans was the fact that repay
ments in 1885 totaled $751; ,479
which is considerably more than
total loans made the previous
year.
New business booked totaled
S27o,725 for 1885 while the num-
Der of members increased from
lo2 to $50. Money is loaned at
five per cent.
Mr.. Susens reviewed the history
of farmer-controlled cooperative
loaning agencies, declaring that
at the time of their organization
they were the only source of farm
credit. He declared the aim OF
associations is to get farmers out
of debt by encouraging them to
pay their debts in good times and
to provide credit when needed in
poor times.
intermediate credit bonds which
finance the associations are sold
on the world market, he brought
out, and therefore are not affected
by local conditions. This fact, he
said, makes it possible to extend
credit where money is not avail
able in the community.
Otto Flom, president, stated
the association aims at quality
loans rather than quantity which
he said is proved by the repayment
records. He declared the local
association, which serves Red
wood, Renville and part of Yellow
Medicine county, has been real
help to farmers of the territory.
August E. Jung of Hector and
Thomas B. Hicks of Tracy were
reelected as directors, after which
Mr.. Flom was reelected president.
Charles E. Dahlgren, vice presl-
dent; Mr.. Smith, secretary; l.. NJ
johnson, first assistant secretary
and w. H. Lamberton, second as
sistant secretary. Forrest Crock
er of Morgan, Mr.. Dahlgren OF
Bird Island and Mr.. Flom are di-
rectors whose terms did not ex-
pire this year.

Character Should be Stressed IN
Education PTA Speaker Declares

Using Education in Reality" as
the subject for his address, o. w.
Snarr, member of the faculty of
Mankato Teachers college spoke
to members of the Parent Teacher
association at the meeting held
Monday evening in the Lincoln
auditorium.
"The faith of the American peo-
pie in our educational system is
evidenced by the increase in the
enrolment in our schools, especial
ly in the high school departments, "
he said, "and while crime has not
decreased or the number of acci-
dents lessened, there are other in
dications that education has been
successful in it's training of the
youth of the land.
Education should become a
part of an individual and bring
about permanent changes in char
acter and not be garment which
may be taken off or put on as the
occasion demands. Since 95 per
cent of our actions are governed
by our emotional natures, those
organizations should be developed
in children so that fundamental
truths may be conceptual rather
than factual.
Schools and teachers need more
interested cooperation from the
parents whose attitude very often
shows too much emphasis on ad-
vancement and too little on the de-
velopment which means good cit
izenship and the promotion OF the
welfare of society.
Scoring another success, Miss
Evelyn Shank directed the junior
high girls glec club in its singing
of short cantata, Mother Goose
Arabesque" collection of nur-
sery rhymes set to three part
music. Miss Grace Dahl was the
accompanist.
During the short business meet
ing, at which Mrs. Frank Baldwin
presided, Mrs. j. L. Parsons, chair
man of the membership commit
tee, reported that the second floor
in the grade school had won in
the membership drive and a suit
able prize will be presented before
the close of school. 1t was voted
to hold a benefit card party to
raise funds to meet the expenses
of the year. This affair win be
held Wednesday afternoon, May
l6, in the Lincoln auditorium.

Mrs. Bolger in
Court Charged
With Assault
SONS TO BE SENTENCED
TUESDAY IN LATEST
ALTERCATION

Mrs. Ellen Bolger of Granite
Rock township was bound over to
district court on a charge of Sec
ond degree assault on her neigh
Dor, Theodore Mielke, in a preli-
minary examination Tuesday be-
fore Judge T. F. Reed in muni-
cipal court, while her two sons,
Martin and William Bolger were
found guilty on separate charges.
The trial is the result of the lat
est of several alterations over
the boundary between the Bolger
and Mielke farms.
Reversing his plea to guilty,
Martin Bolger was convicted of
coercion and intimidation and Or
dered by Judge Reed to re-appear
in court Tuesday, May 5, for sent
ence, while William was found
guilty of employing language pro-
voking an assault and will also re-
ceive his sentence Tuesday. Mrs.
Bolger is free on bonds of $1,000,
while Martins and Williams
bonds are $3.50 and $100 respec-
lively. Judge Reed recommended
that the sons construct half of the
fence on the boundary between
the farms, which had previously
been set by the district court, by
Tuesday. Mielkc has agreed to
erect the other portion of the
fence.
Testifying at the afternoon ses-
sion, Mrs. Bolger denied the
charges stated by Mielke during
the morning session, declaring
that she had a corn-stalk in her
hand, rather than a 10 foot pole
as Mielke had said She denied
striking Mielke and asserted that
Martin did not bling the pole to
her as had been charged but mere
|ly her coat. About 25 Granite
Rock neighl ors interested in the
dispute attended the bearing held
in the city hall.
Before recessing at noon, tine
fs0urt heard Mielke and his son,
lElgh, who was with him at the
time of the alleged attack, des-
cribe the encounter with Mrs. Boil
ger. They were seeding tract of
land which Mrs. Bolger claims be-
longs to her but which the court
has designated as Mielke's, they
said, when Mrs. Bolger came to
the field and stood in front Of the
four horse disk.
81 told her l wasn't going to be
responsible If she didn't get o.
of the way" Mielke said.
Elgin, who was driving the
team, turned out for the woman
who remained in the same place
until the team came past her
again. By that time, the witness
es said, her son Martin had
brought her a 10 foot pole about
an inch in diameter, with which
she struck Mielke across the left
arm and shoulder. The next time
they drove past, Elgin stated, she
struck one of the horses with the
pole and the third time she picked
up a rock which she threw, with
out hitting anything. :.
81 told her I'd get her for that =
Mielke said, $50 went to Red
wood Falls and got the sheriff"
Peter Soupir, a neighbor, told
of seeing the encounter from the
road. The dust was too thick, he
said, to see whether or not Mrs.
Bolger struck Mielke or the horse,
but he saw the horse rear up, ac-
cording to his statement. Mrs.
Mielke had a long pole in her
hand, he stated.
N. r. Ryerson was defense at
torney and George A. Barnes,
county attorney, conducted the
prosecution.

AS winter nears US our supply of
fresh vegetables becomes limited and
we find ourselves using potatoes more
than we possibly do in the summer.
Other than the scarcity of fresh veg
etables forcing US to use potatoes, they
are one of our good heat and energy
supplying foods and are therefore
needed in greater quantities in win
ter than summer. Let's use them in
number of ways so that we do not
grow tired of them. Two good varie-
ties are:
Sweet Potato POne
One egg, beaten; 2 cups raw, grated
sweet potato, u cup light molasses,
2-3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons melted
shortening, grated peel one orange, 2
cups milk II teaspoon ginger, " tea
spoon cinnamon, " teaspoon salt.
Combine all ingredients and pour
into a heavy creased baking dish.
Bake in moderate oven (325F)' for
one and a half hours. Serve warm with
cream. Serves six.
POtatOt Continental
One dozen small potatoes, 3 bay
leaves, chicken or meat stock, 2 tea
spoons minced onion, tablespoons
butter, chopped parsley.
Peel potatoes and cook slowly in a
covered pan with bay leaves and just
enough stock to cover them for %
minutes, or until tender. In another
saucepan, cook onion in butter until it
is golden brown. Pour onion and but
ter mixtures over the potatoes. Place
in serving dish and garnish with finely
chopped parsley and paprika. Serves
six.
