the race issue is losing popularity.
The pulling power of attack on the

NEW ULM POLICE
catch CAR THIEF

New Ulm-Their attention at
tracted to car travelling up and
down various streets in the north
end of the city at about 3 a. m.
recently and believing it to be
driven by a stranger seeking a
house address, Officers Edward l..
Larson and Albert Hackbarth
halted the vehicle and questioned
it's driver.
The motorist aroused the sus-
picion of officers when he gave
his name as Jackson despite his
unmistakable German appearance.
He was unable to produce either
a drivers license or a registration
card. The trusting officers took
him to the station for questioning.
Repeated questioning by the po-
lice, forced the man to give his
right name, that of Albert Dark
ow. He stated that he had bought
the car in st. Paul but didn't re-
member the name of the dealer
who sold it to him. Search of the
compartments in the car revealed
a membership card in the LIE
Sueur County Game Protective
league issued to Roland Christen-
sen of LIE Sueur. A telephone call
to Christensen revealed that the
car belonged to him. He came to
New Ulm the same day to claim it.
Darkow was placed under arrest
and turned over to LIE Sueur au-
thorities.

Grim Cautions Corn
Growers About Seed

Disappointment lies ahead for
many Minnesota corn growers who
take chances this spring on the
termination of their seed or who
plant varieties that are not adopt
I'd to their location, says Ralph F.
Grim, extension agronomist, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul.
With the seed corn situation SO
rit;cal this year, Mr.. Grim urges
every farmer to test his seed care
luiiy before planting. Those who
tested last fall or in early winter
should retest to see how their seed
has held up in vitality. When it
is impossible to obtain seed that
will germinate satisfactorily,
mean ng 80 per cent or above, seed
of lower termination may be
planted provided the planter is
adjusted to drop more kernels per
hill. Tests have shown that this
thicker planting of seed of rather
low termination distributes the
stand fairly we'll.
According to reports, good
deal of seed corn has been sold in
Minnesota that was grown in
.entral or southern Illinois, south
ern Iowa, and Missouri. Even
.nough corn from these regions
might germinate 100 per cent, it
would not be wise for Minnesota
farmers to use it, says Mr.. Grim,
as it probably will not mature pro-
perly even for silage.
Though Minnesota hybrid corn,
developed by the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, is
much superior to ordinary farm
varieties, farmers are cautioned to
take care in buying hybrid seed.
Some people are making a racket
out of selling fake or inferior by
brids.
Owing to the extreme shortage
of good seed this year, the use OF
advanced generation commercial
hybrid seed may be justifiable, Mr.
Grim says, but such corn probably
will prove no better than standard
varieties and so no premium
should be paid for it.

Agent illustrates
New Soil Program

To show how the new soil con-
servation program would apply to
an individual farm, Nate H. Bovee,
the county agent, uses an illustra-
tion involving typical farm of
go acres.
On such farm, he points out,
10 acres might be in lots, yards,
lanes and buildings, 10 acres in
5econd-year alfalfa, so acres in
corn and 80 acres in wheat, barley
and oats, 10 acres of the 80 being
seeded to sweet clover with the
nurse crop cut for grain OF hay in
1885.
The soil-depleting base for this
farm, or the acreage on which all
I'D. .ustments would be based,
would be 14O acres go acres of
small grain plus so acres of CORN
more or less, depending on modi-
cation made by the county or
state committee to Offset unusual
conditions. The ten acres on which
the sweet clover was seeded with
small grain would be considered
soil-depleting, because the nurse
crop was harvested.
The largest acreage on which
the farmer might receive a soil
conserving payment would be 15
ner cent of lao acres or Fl acres.
To earn this, he must shift Fl
acres from soil-depleting crops to
soil-conserving crops. The 10 acres
of sweet clover seeded in 1885, if
used for pasture, hay or seed this
year, would qualify for part OF
this shift, since it would help to
' duce the soil-depleting. acreage.
To qualify for the remainder, the
farmer might seed II acres more
to alfalfa or sweet clover. If a
nurse-crop were seeded with the
legume, it must, to qualify the
crop for soil-conserving payment,
5e clipped green or pastured.
The soil-conserving payment for
this farm would be $210, more or
less, depending on the productivity
of the soil (21 acres shifted times
SO, more or less, per acre..
In addition, the farmer might
qualify for a soil-building pay
ment equal to 81 for each acre US
ed for the production of soil
building and soil-conserving crops
n 1886. The II acres Of alfalfa or
sweet clover seeded in 1886 as we'll
as the 10 acres of sweet clover
seeded in 1885 and the 10 acres of
alfalfa seeded in 1884, would all
be classified as bodybuilding" or
"soil-conserving," making total
of 81 acres. At 81 per acre, the
possible soil-building payment for
this farm would be $31.
To earn this payment, the farm
er might perform one or more OF
the following soil-building prac.
ices, with payments per acre as
listed: new seedlings of legumes or
crop lands, 81 to So, depending or
kind; new planting of forest trees
on crop or pasture land, $5; anc
applications of ground . limestone
to cE2p or pasture land, at 2 ton:
iper acre, $3.50. The acres Of
alfalfa or sweet clover would quail
ify as new seeding, emitting tn.
