FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP OF

for Redwood Falls High the eve

cessful season in recent years ends
in a game with Springfield.
Redwood Falls first Little Ten
championship in any sports hinges
upon the outcome of that contest
in which the Cardinals are heavy
favorites. With four conference
victories in their string and no
ties, Coach Obermeyer's powerful
eleven should make easy work of
the Sauer Kraut capital team but
large crowd of rooters will fol-

The 1887 eleven will greatly
miss the services of Bob Paffrath,
battering ram in offense and stone
wall on defense, who by then
should be freshman star at some
Big Ten school. With Russ Lau-
terbach and Cagey Thomson other
seniors, the backfield will be short

eral promising youngsters have
been given frequent tastes of ac-
ton with the artillery division
this season. The line will have a
wealth of lettermen although such
dependable men as DeGroat and
Baldwin are more rare than the
casual observer might think.
While never regular, Starr has
played frequently as dependable

BalkO Long King
OF State Huskers

Ted's rule of Minnesota
huskers began in 1889 when
he picked 24.14 bushels for
state h0n0rs. That year he
was second in the national
meet.
In 1881 he husked 1877 bu-
shells for second place in the
state and beat the Minnesota
champ at the national, fin
ishing third.
In 1882 he was on top again
with 25.13 bushels in the state
contest but slipped to fourth
in the national.
In 1888 he was first in the
state and fifth in the national
which was held in Nebraska.
It was not until 1884 that
he was able to outdistance
both state and national con-
testants, winning the state
with 21.3 bushels and the ma
tional crown with 25.78 BUSH
els.
In 1885 Ted's total of 1884
bushels was the most he ever
huSked in a contest, yet it
earned him but sixth place in
the national. His load in the
state meet was 28.217 bushels
a state record.

A question mark hung over the
Minnesota state corn husking
crown which judges placed on the
brow of Art johnson of Bingham
Lake Friday when the Cotton
wood husking novice nosed out
Ted Balko of Redwood Falls by
six-hundredths of a bushel in the
state contest on the Baumgarten
farm near Morristown.
Balko ran out of corn after
about 65 minutes and shouted to
inform timers that he had finish
ed. The crowd took up the warn
ing cry but Balko had put on his
coat before the final gun sounded
and the official time was tailed at
&c minutes. Balko felt that with
the extra minutes husking which
other contestants were permitted
he could have retained his five
times won state title, but Johnson
claimed to have stopped as soon
as Balko.
With his usual modesty and re-
luctance to make a FUSS" Balko
did not demand a run-off contest.

al victory in 1884, Balko will en-
ter the Licking county national,
he said this week.
Has Huge Gallery
Slashing through. the rows
without a waste motion, Balko
husked bareheaded in a white
shirt and blue denim trousers,
hampered as usual by his huge
gallery. The Redwood Falls man
husked out gross of 1,41O pounds
of corn, making 1878 bushels to
the champions 1879 from gross
load of 1920.
BY far the majority of the
crowd followed Balko's wagon,
fifteenth in position, crowding in
on the favorite and ignoring all
efforts of marshals to hold them
back. Several times when he lean
ed over to pick from a fallen stalk
he found a spectator standing on
it.
A high wind ripped over the
field, whirling clouds of grit into
contestants and spectators eyes.
Balko described weather con-
ditions as "the toughest I've ever
husked in" but was thankful the
gale was chill one. with quiet
day and the sun as warm I should
have been smothered," he said.
The wind carried corn sailing
into the bump boards or lifted
ears containing husks high above
them and over into the husked-
out portions of the field which
was of Minhybrid 301, the new
threeway cross developed at the
Minnesota experiment station.
Balko's wagon set the pace for
the other 19 which moved slowly
down the 160 rod field, situated in
a natural basin, while the ears

in mind, John Baumgarter, owner
of the farm said, but the place
proved ideal for the contest. A
huge grassy meadow at the rear of
the well-kept farmyard was the
scene of a tent village similar to
a county fair or carnival, lining
square in the center of which was
the stockade where weighing and
judging took place. Machinery
and other industrial exhibits oc-
cupied most of the tents while

dants with thousands of hot dogs
and gallons of coffee. Persons who
found the field almost unbearably
unpleasant because of dust could
stand at the edge of the plot and
look down into the field where

fans marked huge black chasms
in the bright yellow corn. AL

"All Stirred Up"
Asked how it felt to be hostess
to thousands of guests, Mrs.
Baumgarten admitted nervously,
"Tm all stirred up" although the
rest of the family seemed to take
the responsibility, unusual activity
and almost continual photograph
ing calmly. Officials of the Far
mer stated that the. contest was
the largest state one ever held, es-
timating an attendance of 10000
after Boy Scouts had counted the
thousands of automobiles parked
in nearby fields. Representatives
of Twin Cities newspapers, eau
tiouS in their estimates while
mindful of the usual mistrust with
which the public views "neWSpap-
er crowds" judged that between
5000 and 10000 persons attended
and state highway patrolmen, ex-
perienced in handling throngs,
thought that 10000 were there.
A murmer of disappointment
went through the crowd which
watched the scoreboard inside the
weighing enclosure as the marker
checked "two" beside Balko's
name, adding a zone" beside
Johnson's just below. Although

Delayed Pruning
Halts Grape Loss
Full Extent of Damage Must
Be Known to Aid in a
Larger Yield.
By A. S. Colby, Chief in Small Fruit Culture,
University of Illinois.-WNU Service

By A. S. Colby, Chief in Small Fruit Culture,
University of Illinois-WNU Service.
Certain varieties of grape vines
have been so hard hit by the severe
winter that pruning this spring should
be delayed until the full extent of the
damage can be told and the vines
pruned accordingly. Any vines on
which the fruit buds have not been
killed, If properly pruned, can be made
to yield twice what they otherwise
would.
The grower should look upon his
vines as separate individuals, and aft
err allowing for gradations in vigor re-
sulting from insects and diseases, soil
differences and weather conditions
should handle the vines in such way
that vine growth and yield of well-ma-
tured clusters are balanced yearly.
Results Of studies with Concord
grapes showed that if most of last sea-
sons shoots were too short and too
weak to produce aterals, the vine was
pruned too lightly the previous season.
That is, too many nodes were left. IL
the shoots were so vigorous that they
produced an excessive amount of lat
eral growth, too many nodes had been
removed the previous winter.
The grower therefore should strike
the balance between these two eX-
tremes by leaving enough nodes at
pruning time so that vigorous shoots
will grow for the following years crop,
while at the same time enough fruit is
allowed to grow and mature for the
current season. However, these shoots
should not be vigorous enough to send
out many side branches or laterals.
From so to 70 nodes to the vine usual
ly will be enough under normal con-.
ditions.
1t also Is important that nodes be
left on either four or six canes, rather
than on large number Of short spurs.
1t has been found that the best fruit
ing buds are found on those canes
from the fourth to the twelfth node.
Hence most of the best fruit will be re-
moved and the vines will run to wood
If they are "spur pruned." Several
well-matured canes at least as large as
lead pencil should be left with from
IL to Is nodes on each cane. The num-
Der will depend, upon the previous
growth of the plant and the size and
quality Of the crop.

Why Some Forage Plants
Cause Death of Animals
Cause

A few good forage plants are known
to be cyanophoric at some time In
their growth. That is, they contain
compounds that decompose to liberate
hydrocyanic acid (prussic acid). When
these plants are associated with sud-
den death among animals that eat Of
them, it is commonly assumed that
such fatalities are the result of cyanide
poisoning, says writer in Successful
Farming.
Some of the suggested antidotes for
cyanide poisoning seem to be marvel
ously effective. Their use by expert
enced veterinary practitioners is to be
recommended in cases of sudden and
violent intoXication in which cyano-
phoric plants are involved. 1t is not,
however, to be concluded that because
animals revive after such treatment
for cyanide poisoning that the case
of illness was in every instance the re-
suit of cyanide poisoning. In other
words, the recognition of a disease
on the basis of recovery after a spe-
cific treatment Is not usually safe
way to decide as to the cause Abund-
ance of hydrocyanic acid in the feed
or stomach contents must be found
before one can be certain that cyanide
Is cause of illness. In cases of death
1t must also be found in the vital
organs.

w alter for Horses

For idle horses there is no reason
why water should not be kept before
them at all times. In fact, this is the
practice during the summer when
horses are out on pasture. The diff
Guilty comes with working horses, who
when they come In from heavy work
are likely to overdrink, with the re-
sulting danger of founder Under most
conditions, therefore, 1t Is probably
safer to water horses at fixed periods,
so that the amounts may be controlled
than to allow them free access to I'M
limited water.

Purebred Live Stock

There is only one justification for
purebred live stock, That is to i'm
prove commercial focks to better meet
consumptive needs. SO far as sheep
are concerned there is dual objective,
mutton and wool. There is opportu
nifty here then to breed animals spe-
cializing in either carcass or fleece and
also for animals combining, so far as
possible, these two detectives. Vari-
alton in type by purebred breeders can
only be commended when such varia-
tons are made with the view of more
nearly meeting present or future mar
ket requirements.-The Sheep Breeder.
