STORMS JUST PAST
COST STATE 100000
FOR SNOW FLOWING

1t has cost the state highway de-
partment approximately $4,000 to
keep it's 1000 mile trunk highway
system open to traffic during the
almost continuous storm conditions
of the past three and one half
weeks, according to an estimate
made by N. w. Elsberg, state high
way commissioner.
With 400 state plows and 100
rented emergency trucks and trac-
tors going day and night most of
the time since late in January the
expense has been a severe strain on
highway maintenance funds" Mr..
Elsberg said.
with the 500 units all in opera
ton, the cost runs up to $1,000 an
hour. Much of the time the plows
have worked 20 hours a day. For
every such day the cost is $4,000.
These figures are based on an
average total cost Of 81 an hour
per unit operated. The lighter
trucks cost less than this, but the
average is brought up by the
heavy equipment and rotaries. The
cost includes labor as well as mach
inery expense.
Our snow fighting expense so
far this winter is in the neighbor-
hood of $1,0OO,OOO, which comes out
of a total maintenance budget for
the year of only $6,6O0,0OO. Our to-
tai snow expense last winter was
about 100000.
IF the highway department had
not fought to keep the trunks open,
drawing heavily on maintenance
funds to do so, there undoubtedly
would have been general disruption
of business and economic life
throughout the state and wide
spread suffering. Without open
highways, the Twin Cities and 9th.
er cities would have been cut off
from milk supplies and the smaller
towns would have run short of food
and other necessities.
Even with all that was spent in
the past month, there were still
isolated cases in which communi
ties did not get as good service
from the highway department a.

ICES Deer Removal

lies Deer Removal
Meeting in it's regular monthly
session, the Minnesota Conserva-
ton Commission last week author
lied removal of deer from Itasca
park, removal of rough fish from
Big Stone lake, and closing of fish
spearing until the regular fishing
season opens in spring.
Itasca deer are being removed in
spite of the objection of residents
of Park Rapids and vicinity. Mem
bers Of the Commission pointed out
that many of the deer were starv-
ing to death because Of an insult
ficient food supply and that arti-
fetal feeding is not a solution OF
the problem. The scarcity of natur-
al food forced the deer to browse
on young trees, thus doing consid-
cradle harm to forest reproduc-
ton. It was explained that in re-
moving the deer the department of
conservation was following a pre-
cedent already set by other states.
Trapping and removing the deer
will be carried on as a WPA pro-
ject.
The Commission unanimously
rough fish to be removed from Big
Stone lake, although a number of
petitions opposing the project had
been received. Commissioner E. v,
Willard and George Weaver, sup
erintendent of fisheries, said that
test hauls had indicated the pres
ence of many carp and other
rough fish in the lake, and that the
action taken was essential in order
to save the game fish.
In order to protect pickerel and
wall-eyed pike, the Commission
urged Governor Olson to issue an
executive order prohibiting fish
spearing for the remainder of the
winter. The action was advocated
by DR.. Thaddeus Surber, director
of fish propagation, who contend
ed that greater protection is nee
essary for fish while bearing
spawn.
Considering the question of con.
tinuing conservation pageants, the
Conservation Commission agreed
that deficits up to $4,000 incurred
in presenting the pageants must be
underwritten by the communities

SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck Rathe)

Last game at home-Friday ev-
ening of this week the Sank Gen.
ire high school cagers are playing
host to the Melrose Ramblers at
the local gym in a contest that
marks the last of the home games.
The Ramblers will be set to deal a
telling blow to the Maroon and
White gang of Harvey's and no one
knows what'll happen. The locals
defeated them "a to 81 a short time
ago on a cold night, and these Mel
rose fellows would think it just
dandy to muss up a good Sank
Centre finish. So it behooves all in
terested to attend this last tilt, in
which Melrose can get revenge or
Sank Centre can hang the scalp of
traditional rivalry from their belt.
The school cagers went ber-
serk Friday evening and rolled
up the biggest margin for a vic
tory this year. They came home
with a nice warm pair of wins
from Osakis. The second team
lads held a lead after the first
quarter and ran up % points
while Osakis took 10. BY some
strange turn the Osalxis firsts
Were held to only ten points
also while the Sank Centre var
sity bested its seconds by four
points for a final of "a points.
Captain Keldahl went home
bearing the weight of three techni-
cal fouls. Two he picked up all by
himself for talking to the ref
though we don't know what he
said-and one Coach Harvey add

that the fouls aren't called on the

ASKS FARMERS TO JOIN
SOW TESTING Project

Minnesota hog growers are being
invited by H. G. Zavoral, extension
animal husbandman, University
Farm, to enroll in the Minnesota
sow testing project for 1886. This
project is not a contest between
breeds or herds, but aims to give
the farmer a private record by
which he can select breeding stock
from his best filters Of pigs.
The farmer can take part in this
project without cost and without
changes in his usual methods of
feeding and marketing. Mr.. Zav-
oral says it is well known that the
most profitable filters of pigs are
those that are heaviest at weaving
time, a high weaving weight being
evidence of both good size Of lit
ter and thriftiness of the individual
pigs. Since ability to produce large
filters and growthy pigs is inheri-
ted, gifts for breeding should be
picked from the better filters. The
SOW testing project will provide the
facts by which such selection can
be carried out.
On enrolling in this project the
farmer agrees to mark each litter
of pigs within 7 days after farrow-
ing, the litter's sire and dam, and
the number of male and female
pigs. Each litter will be weighed
separately when Sc days old, and
where possible litter weights will
again be taken at $50 days of age.
