Ultimate Abolition of
Winter Fishing Seen
e. ". willard Hopes Day Is Not
Far Distant When Sport
Is Prohibited

Opposition Of conservationists to
winter fishing will result in its ul-
innate abolition in the opinion Of
E. ". Willard, commissioner Of
conservation.
I'm my opinion the day will come
when winter fishing will be prohib-
tied by law" Mr.. Willard said in a
statement issued last week. $50
far as I an concerned, trust this
day is not far distant"
Mr.. Willard stated that under
present statutes the situation can
not be altered. Efforts to curtail
winter fishing through legislative
act have resulted only in greater
liberalization Of the sport.
LAS long as winter fishing Is per-
mitted by law and this highly con-
troversial matter Is to be subject
to administration by the depart
ment, there can be no satisfying of
all the elements to be reckoned
with" said Mr.. Willard.
ITO those who approve Of the de-
partment's orders, regulations of
this kind are conservation meas
ures. All those who are disappoint-
ed, brand these acts by the depart
ment as politics, looting. conniv-
ance with law breakers, and other
epithets, depending on how far the
regulations whose viewpoints have
not been recognized.
II do not know how the situa-
ton can be made much different
under the present statutes. In my
opinion the day will come when
winter fishing will be prohibited by
law. So far as I am concerned
trust this day is not far distant.
Reactions by past Legislatures

must not lose sight Of the fact that
If we have commerce with nations

the greater will be our national

the work of the commission. He
was elected in December to take
the place of Commissioner John
Lang, of the third district, who
passed away.
Fred Schilplin, publisher Of The
St. Cloud Times, and Editor Carl
A. Carlson of the Melrose Beacon
were present and submitted the
bids for the county printing. The
between The Times and
the county newspapers, which has
been carried on for some years,
and by means of which all news
papers in the county cooperate,
was again embodied in the bids,
and was approved unanimously by
the commission In this way there
is a complete coverage of the coun-
ty as regards official announce
ments and printing of proceedings.
The reorganized county board
and Auditor Nicholas N. Thomey
went to the treasurer's office and
through the routine of counting
the county's cash.
ERA clients listed for relief came
in for close scrutiny as relief au-
thorities submitted the names OF
all persons drawing relief. Some OF
the names were challenged. Ordin'
arily there is a list of routine mat
ters Systematically disposed of by
the board on the first morning OF
the January session, but the com
missioners spent most of the time
going over the list Of clients. II
appeared that the first business Of
the year would take up at leas,
three days of the commissioners
time.
ERA relief in Stearns county ap
peared to be doomed and the coun
ty board may abandon it altogeth
er due to failure of villages and
townships in the county to RESPOND
with their quotas of money, accord
ing to announcements of Mich
Thomey. The new relief setup pro
vides for direct assistance to the
federal government by the loca
governing bodies, and local units
have not signified their intention
70 give this relief, the auditor
stated.

Leading at the end of the first
quarter the local Independents had
little difficulty in tromping on the
Osakis outfit last Thursday even
ing in the auditorium, 81 to n. The
game by virtue of its one-sided
complex was dull and lifeless. The
Osakis lads were completely be-
fuddled throughout the entire
game.
The locals started out by rolling
I'D nine field goals and two free
shots for a total of 20 points be
fore the gun barked the close Of
the first period. Osakis was COM
pletely in a haze as they endeavor-
ed to stop the onslaught. They did
manage to connect with the basket
once for 2 counts. Half time found
the Osakis outfit pulling out a lit
tie, they rolled up nine more points
while the locals ran their tally up
to 81 points. BY the end Of the third
quarter Osakis was hopelessly lost
with only Is points and the locals
striding forward to 43. During the
final period Sank Centre strobe
past the half century mark to 81
points.
Pat Dubois stood as the high
score man of the evening with Y
points connected in only one-half
of the game. Sieben and Johnny
Dubois, playing at forward, tied
with next honors at 10 counters
apiece, O'Gara followed closely
with 9. The game was free OF any
thing that resembled good basket
ball or an interesting contest. The
continual driving of the locals was
it's only redeeming feature.
No further games have been
booked to date for the Independ-
ent ticket. Pat Dubois, booker, has
had difficulty getting answers from
the teams with whom he has cor
Responded. The real difficulty lies,
however, in booking teams with a
good enough outfit to give the boys
some real competition. The only
team that has given them run
and a real game was the Alexan-
dria Firemen.

county programs. Through these
home demonstration councils the
work progressed to a point where
it has gained national recognition.
Home demonstration programs
now are carried on in SO of Mon
tana's Sc counties. From 1884 to
1895, counties carrying on the pro-
gram increased from 26 to SO,
clubs increased from 2S8 to $50
and enrolment from 5,267 to 6,S74.
Another improvement inaugur-
ated by Miss Lee requires new
agents to serve a period of time as
assistant agent before taking over
a county. Major phases of the pro-
gram now carried on are foods
and nutritious, clothing; child de-
velopment and parent education;
home management and house fur
nishings.
Miss Lee also has been active in
community and state organizations
concerned with women's activities.
She assisted in the Montana
Home Economics Association and
was successfully state presi-
dent, secretary and councillor. She
has served as chairman of the
home economics section of the In
land Empire association, is a ma
tional committee member for home
economics Interpretation and was
national councillor Phi Epsilon
Omicron, home economics frater-
nifty.
Other organizations in which
Miss Lee has served as an official
are the Montana Federation of
Women's Clubs, Business and Pro-
fessional Womens club and she
was a member of the Presidents
conference on home building and
ownership. Through her leadership
the home economics extension SER
vice also cooperated with national
and state organizations.
The Chronicle continued that the
resignation of Miss Lee after her
many years of effective service is
distinct loss to the extension
service, Montana State College and
Montana farm women. Leaders in
the Montana State Extension de-
partment stated that they regret
ted her resignation but accepted 1t
because it is a deserved advance
ment.
Miss Lee is a graduate of the
Sank Centre High School and is
well-known among the younger
people of the community, who re-
joice with her in the advancement.

Highways Are Maintained
At Reduced Cost
Resume of Years Work Is Pre-
pared by Buckley For
Times-Journal

Of interest to all citizens of
Stearns county will be the annual
report of Glen C. Buckley, highway
engineer. This report will not be
formally filed with the county COM
mission until it's January meeting
and will be quite lengthy in all its
details. Mr.. Buckley has, however,
prepared the following resume of
the work done by his department
during the past year:
Because of business and agricul-
tural conditions as they were dur
ing the last years of depression
and drought the county board of
commissioners felt that the county
levy for road and bridge purposes
should be lowered as much as pos
sible. And so it happened that in
1888 there was no road and bridge
levy at all and in 1884 the levy was
held down to 100000. To appre-
ciate theabove statement one must
compare these levies aforemention-
ed to those of years previous to
that time when the levies amount
ed to as much as $175,0O0.00.
with these small levies to work
with, this county built more road
in 1895 involving the moving OF
more cubic yards of dirt than in
any previous year.
During the year 1885 Stearns
county maintained PSI miles o!
state aid road at a cost of $24, 749.'
AZ and 374 miles of county aid
1 ~
"This county graded under con.
tract 23.4 miles of road involving
324,215 cubic yards of excavation
at a cost Of $4O,548.12 an average
of 12kc per cubic yard. This sum
includes clearing and grubbing
excavation, overhaul and the install
lation of and removal of portable
culverts.
"Six miles were graveled by con
tract on which 4483 cubic yards OF
gravel were screened, crushed
loaded and hauled, at cost Of
$1sO7.45.
"Three miles were graveled by
day labor on which 1748 cubic
yards of gravel were loaded ane
hauled at cost of $1174.20.
Fifteen miles Of road were
graded by the county outfit and b!
rented equipment on which nj
plans were prepared and no yard
age computed at a cost of $17,269.
80.
This makes a total of 1874 miles
of grading and nine miles of grav
cling on which only county funds
were spent. No relief labor or fed
eral funds were used on this work.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
HOmemakers Answered BY
University Farm

Our cows have scours quite bad
~ and we are wondering If this
could be caused by mold on the sill
age we are feeding. Is there any
thing we can do with this silage to
prevent the securing?
Probably the securing is the re-
suit of feeding too much silage, ra-
Their than being caused by the mold.
Cut down the amount of silage fed
and see if the condition will not
improve. I do not believe there Is
anything you can do to the silage
that will materially alter its condi-
ton. Besides, we have not found
moldy silage to be dangerous. If
you reduce the amount fed, espec-
tally to the cows that are suffering
most, believe the trouble will
clear up. There seems to be quite
difference between individuals in
the way they are affected by sill
age.-C. p. Fitch, Division of Vet
Urinary Medicine.
AS must buy some feed
should like your advice as to
whether 1 should take some light
weight barley at IS cents a bushel,
or corn at so cents. The barley
weighs IS pounds to the measured
bushel.
Without seeing a sample Of the
light barley, it is difficult to say
just how well it would compare
with sound barley. Probably 35-
pound barley would have no more
than Is per cent of the feeding
value of sound barley and no more
than so or 60 per cent the value of
corn; pound for pound. If the bar
ley is scabby, its feeding value
would be still lower. If you can get
reasonably good corn, at so cents,
I am sure it would pay you far bet
ter to use it.-W. H. Peters, Divi-
sion of Animal Husbandry.
How old should gifts be allowed
to get before being bred?
It is not advisable to breed gifts
before they are about 81 to 9
months Of age. If sow farrows at
II months, she is only about one
half mature and this is plenty
early for her to farrow; in fact, it
sometimes interferes with rapid
growth. However, experience
shows that a sow bred to farrow at
IL months of age usually is a more
regular producer than if she pro-
duces a litter much before this
time or at 10 months of age. Occas-
ionally gifts that are about IL
months old produce very good first
filters, but sometimes the results
are disappointing.-E. F. Ferrin,
Division of Animal Husbandry.
