Has Advised
Inventory OF
Feed Supply
Dairy Farmers Urged To
Make Sure Of Adequate
ROughage
SHOULD BUY FEED NOV
County Agent Says Keep
Feed Requirements In
Minnesota

Stearns county farmers are urg-
ed by e. c. Lenzmeier, county ag-
ricultural agent, to take careful in.
ventory Of feed supplies and to
make equally careful estimates oi
roughage requirements necessary
to carry their feeding operations
through the coming winter.
Twenty-eight Minnesota counties
have been placed on the emergency
drought list, and in these counties
it is especially essential that dairy
and livestock farmers make sure of
adequate roughage supplies.
Indications are that feed prices
will be high, states County Agent
Lenzmeier, and before owners of
surplus hay and other roughage
ship such supplies out of the state
and prices rise sharply, 1t will be
wise for farmers who will be short
of hay and other roughage to lay
in supplies now.
In light of what occurred during
the drought of 1884 when many
areas in the state were sold short
of hay, it is especially important
that Minnesota's 1896 surplus be
kept within the boundaries of the
State so that no acute shortage will
materialize during winter months
advises County Agent Lenzmeier
In several counties some activity
of buyers from other states pur-
chasing Minnesota hay has already
been reported. Should this practice
continue, Minnesota farmers may
find it necessary to add very mater
tally to the price of hay laid down
to the farmer, Stearns county dairy
men and livestock farmers will
find it to their advantage to buy
hay produced locally as far as pos
sible.
In some counties where there
may possibly be no surplus hay or
other roughage, farmers may be
able to contact owners of surplus
supplies in other counties adjacent
or close to their own counties.
Darymen and livestock producers
would do well to act soon in OBJ
tanning supplies of hay and other
roughages, believes Lenzmeier.
Buyers and sellers of surplus hay
and feed supplies may be brought

.2-Months-Old
Boy Lost Monday
Jerome Dirnberger Strayed From
Farm Home, Where Family
Visited, On Monday

Jerome Dirnberger, 21-month-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Dirn-
berger, of this city, caused his mo-
ther considerable anxiety when he
became lost in the woods, near
Blue Grass, Monday. Mrs. Dirnber-
ger and children were visiting at
the farm home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Kern, about eight miles
north of Wadena, from which place
the little fellow strayed early in
the morning.
It was about ten minutes after
seven when the family missed Jer-
ONE, and immediate search about
the farm was commenced. They
looked for him about one-half hour
without results, and then notified
the telephone central, who turned
in a general alarm for help. The
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs. Kern
responded Immediately, as did the
Highway Patrolman from Wadena.
It is estimated that sixty people
took part in the search.
Jerome was found at about ten
o'clock in the morning, in the woods
near a swamp by Highway Patrol
man Osley, who formerly worked
with Patrolman Bob Newman. He
was 1k miles from the home when
he was found. He wore only little
romper and his feet were bare, and
when found had suffered scratches
about the legs and face. Otherwise
he suffered no injuries or incon-
venience. When found the news
was conveyed to the searchers by
pistol shot and siren.
This was Jerome's first trip to
the farm, and being lively lad he
wanted to see everything. Mrs.
Dirnberger thought he was up
stairs with the children. However,
one Of the children stated that he
had been seen at about seven
o'clock chasing a chicken In the
yard. It is thought that he left the
farm yard through the pasture,
and crossed a corn field into the
woods. That country Is densely for
ested and there are several lamar
ack swamps in the community.
