LedulIlS llNoStOCh men from dill over
the United States assembled in Chi
cago recently to pay tribute to Dean
w. c. Coffey of the University of Min
nesOta Department of Agricultul E.
The occasion was the annual dinner
of the American Society of Animal
Production.
Each year this society singles out
for special recognition one man who
has rendered conspicuous service to
the cause of animal husbandry, ar
ranges its dinner program in his
honor, and presents his portrait to
be hung in the Saddle and Sirloin
Club Hall of Fame" AS this years
honor man, Dean Coffey was chosen
largely because of his outstanding
work with sheep.
For Is years following his gradu-
alton from the Illinois College of
Agriculture, Dean Coffey was men,
ber of the animal husbandry staff
there, specializing in teaching and
research relating to sheep husban-
dry. He wrote textbook which be-
came the standard for class use in
agricultural colleges all over the
country and won recognition as an
outstanding authority and showing
judge of sheep. In 1911 he was chosen
by President Taft's federal tariff
board to collect data on the cost of
producing mutton and wool. In this
capacity he gained an intimate ac-
quaintance with sheep husbandry as
it is practiced in the central and
western states. On his own account
he visited Great Britain, Germany
and France, studying sheep husban-
dry in those countries.
National Service.
Since coming to University Farm
in 1921 as dean and director of the
University Department of Agriculture,
Dean Coffey has found many oppor-
tunities for national service to agri-
culture, despite his heavy administra-
tive duties. In 1924 he was appointed
on President Coolidge's agricultural
conference. For years he has been
chairman of committee directing
the cooperative meat investigations
of the agricultural experiment sta
tions and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Since 1880 he has been
director of the International Live
Stock Exposition, and in 1884 he initi-
ated the action which led to the es-
tablishment of the federal drouth re-
lief program.
Results of the 1886 Saddle and Sir
loin club essay contest for agricul-
tural college students were announced
at the dinner, second prize going to
a Minnesota youth. Arne Nordskog of
Two Farbors, a senior in animal hus-
bandry at University Farm and a
graduate of Duluth Junior college.
First place went to an Illinois stu
dent, the subject of the essay being,

ence of the International Live Stock

Four Hundred FOrty-nine
Farmers Have Been
Employed.
Governor Petersen Would
Get Direct Federal Re-
lief Funds.

With WPA drouth relief apparently
at an end under WPA supervision in
the near future review of the work

ent date. This figure is given out by
A. T. Gilbertson, district director of
the WPA with headquarters in Brain
erd. These farmers who were picked
by the Rural Resettlement and County
Relief offices because of their needs
as result of the drouth were paid
S33,372 during these four months of
employment. They were employed un-
der an emergency arrangement which
when the program was started in Au-
gust was due to expire December 1.
Employment was limited by congress
siOnal appropriation, said MIR. Gilbert
son. In the ~ counties comprising
this WPA district 5,291 farmers have
worked on projects. They earned over

those who were actually drouth strick-
en- farmers and the other, those farm
hands and other agricultural laborers
who ordinarily find it possible to OBJ
tain employment on farms but because
of the drouth were deprived of such
employment.
Governor Would Continue Aid.
In recent days many pleas for aid
for Minnesota's drouth stricken farm
ers have been made to officials in
cluding Governor Hjalmar Petersen
and in response to these pleas Cover
nor Petersen on Friday started an in
vestigation designed to obtain federal
funds for direct relief when WPA
projects are terminated this month.
The governor states he has received
reports from mass meetings of citi-
gens in Pine and Stearns counties in
which they demand action to provia~
such aid,
Ahe governor Is bending efforts to-
ward getting such aid.

A letter from Rev. Holger Strand
skov states in part as follows:
I'VE have now had the pleasure of
hearing Jacob Texiere, and / am
happy to report that his program is
of the very best. We had a good
sized audience in spite of cold and
snow, and l am sure everyone was
well pleased.
His English is naturally different
from our lish. But it
is very good. You can safely invite
Americans to hear his two fairy tales
that he gives in English.
'All told gladly give him my high
est recommendation for any announc-
ing you still may be able to do"
Mr. Texiere has had similar rec
concentrations wherever he has ap-
peared, so the committee advises ev-
eryone to come and hear him tonight
(Thursday) at the D. B. S. hall.

But even on the gala occasion

acclaim by his success in rearing
his five little charges.
DR.. Dafoe said today the pre-.
cious tots must be guarded care
fully. So it will not be the ordi-
nary little girls party, with ice
cream, cake and lollypops, and
little friends arriving with fasci-

1t will be the same schedule
and the same diet as usual.
