1t is apparent now that Imperial
Valley farmers are going to derive
a great deal of benefit from the
efforts of their local Calapproved
Seed Committee. Field inspection
work of wheat and barley is now
under way. This inspection work
requires a great deal of time on
the part of the committeeman who
serve without pay, and their hope
is that farmers in general will ac-
quire the habit of demanding CAL
approved seed for planting. The
committee is making it their BUS
mess to see to it that Calapproyed
seed is the best seed to be had;
that crops grown from it will pro-
duce higher yields and better quail
ty. These factors will go a long
way in creating better demand
and higher prices. which in turn
will mean a higher net profit to
the grower, thus benefiting the
entire community. White Fedora
ton wheat, Atlas and California
Mariout barley, and California Red
oats, are among the varieties now
being grown for approval in the
valley.

The farmers get good prices for

Benson Asks Check Of
State Relief Demands
Special Legislative Session Deemed
Likely II Conditions Warrant
NGOyernOr Plans Trip

st. Paul.-Governor Benson dis
closed Tuesday he may call a state
wide conference of officials charg-
ed with the administration of pub
lie aid to determine if a special
legislative session to appropriate
additional relief money is neces-
sary.
In letter posted Tuesday to
chairmen of county welfare boards
and county boards, the governor
took cognizance of an impending
relief shortage by asserting his re-
commentator to the last legisla-
ture for a larger sum was rejected
by the senate. y
He urged the officials to study 10
cal needs and trends from the
standpoint of requirements in the
next fiscal year. This information
he requested the county units to
transmit to his office together with
observations and comments.
The governor said he may call
the state conference upon his re-
turn from a southern California va
cation which he began Saturday
IF the situation warrants it."
The demands on the state for
more relief aid have been increas-
ing alarmingly, the governor wrote.
More and more counties and town
ships throughout the state find
themselves financially unable to
meet the rising tide of relief and
UNEMPLOYMENT needs.

boys courage, bring out their man
ly qualities. But we must be care
tut not to permit our boys courage
and eagerness for man to man con-
flicts to defeat the main purpose by
draining their stamina and impair
ing their health.
Even such large high schools as
are found in the Twin Cities where
thousands Of boys are available to
make up a basketball squad on
which but five can play at one
time, find that the new rules
are taking something out Of the
better players. Competition Is
keener in the big cities because
every game Is a hard game. There
is temptation to keep good boys
on the floor too long because the
opponent is doing the same thing.
It does them no good.
The only solution may be to
change the rules to make the game
slower and provide more frequent
pauses. Certainly 1t will be almost
criminal to retain the present rule
limiting the state high school bask-
etball tournament squads to eight
men each and requiring those eight
men to play three tournament
games in three days.

CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES
PROTECT WILD GAME

When the weather man predicts
SNOW and colder" during the next
few months, thousands of game
birds and small animals will have
cause to be thankful for soil conser-
walton activities in Minnesota, re-
ports Warren w. Chase, regional
biologist for the Soil Conservation
Service.
BY retiring quilted areas to trees
and shrubs, fencing out wooded
areas for protection against fire
and grazing, and inaugurating such
soil-saving practices as strip crop
ping, farmers cooperating with I'm
iversity Farm authorities and the
federal conservation service have
greatly improved wildlife food and
cover conditions, Chase said.
BY strip cropping, permitting
grass and shrubs TO grow up along
fence rows, establishing vegetation
in gullies and protecting woodland,
farmers reduce soil erosion and at
the same time improve wildlife
conditions" the biologist explained.
To supplement wildlife phases OF
the soil conservation program, an
emergency winter feeding program
will be carried on in Minnesota this
winter by the University and the
Service. Approximately 5000
pounds of seed will be fed to quail,
pheasants and other wildlife species
in feeders placed beneath lean-to-
shelters of brush and tree boughs.

For six months after their COM
pletion, the stations will be manned
by employees Of the State Wide
Highway Planning board under r.
J. Short, state manager. For that
period. records will be kept Of the
tonnage passing over our highways
exclusively, rather than attempting
additional enforcement Of load
limits. The statistics obtained will
be used in the boards planning Of
future road programs in the state
Following the boards use of the
stations, however. they will be TAX
en- over by the Highway patrol and
used to keep truck loads of too
great axle weight off the trunk
system. At present the highway
patrol Is checking on axle weights
by portable scales, "a being avail
able for operation at present. Des-
pite the occupancy Of the perman-
ent weighing pits by the patrol, the
portable scales will continue to be
used throughout the state.
BY keeping the weight Of freight
trucks down to the limit pres
cribed by law, highway engineers
estimate that hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in road mainten-
ance and construction costs are saw
ed annually. Vehicles with too great
loads can pound thousands of dol
lars worth of road to pieces in a
short time, Commissioner Elsberg
pointed out, while moderate weights
can be carried on hard surfaced
highways with no damage.

SPORTS
BY Dick Cullum, Sports Editor

BY Dick Cullum, Sports Editor
Although the new basketball
rules have been under trial but a
short time there Is already a COM
plant against them that they take
too much out Of high school boys.
The complaint comes mainly
from smaller high schools where
coaches work with smaller squads
and do not have enough players to
make the frequent substitutions the
new rules require. Under these
rules the center jump after each
basket is eliminated. Instead the
ball is taken by any member Of the
team which has just been scored
upon, and is Immediately put back
into play from a point out Of
bounds under the basket.
In this style Of play action is al
most continuous. They only rest
while foul shots are being taken or
when there is held ball. It is es-
timated that the new rules add only
four minutes more of actual play to
each game, which does not seem a
great deal; but when we realize
that those four minutes used to be
divided up into brief moments Of
complete relaxation during which
players could catch their breath
and halt their dizzy pace complete
ly we may perceive that they af-
forded the boys some real rest
which they are not getting now.
In any event, high school coaches
have noticed that their boys tire
much more rapidly under the new
rules. OF course there is no sense
to any game designed for high
school boys if it does not actually
benefit them physically. We en-
courage our youngsters to play so
that they may become strong and
healthy.
No parent wants his son to get
into a game which merely affords
amusement to spectators but weak
ems the boys health. Certainly high
schools should not be sponsors for
such activity. Maybe it is too early
to enter a definite indictment
against the new basketball game;
but it is not too early to study 1t
with the boys physical welfare in
mind and to be ready to act If 1t Is
discovered the game is harmful.
Educators and more enlightened
coaches are beginning to take that
view. That is why there Is a grow
ing movement to install six-man
football in high schools in place OF
the eleven-man game which is spec
ifically designed for universities.
The six-man game gives the boys
plenty Of rough and tumble compe-
tition but in healthful measure ra-
Their in the taxing and fatiguing
measure of the eleven-man game.
There is much to be said for
rough, hard games. They teach the

Much of Stearns county's butter
going upwards to many millions oil
pounds, is sold in the industrial
centers of the east.
Checks Compared
Climaxing the nights discussion
was the exhibition of two checks by
Albin Thelen, Melrose, who declar-
ed that the county pays it's truck
drivers less than one-half as much
as the WPA.
For operating his truck for the
WPA for period of two weeks,
Thielen held a check for $68.75,
from which gasoline and oil costs
of SIS, or more were deducted.
For operating his truck for the
county, Thelen held a check for
$40, from which also were to be
deducted SIS or more, for gasoline
and oil. He said the county paid
him 81 per week. or more. for his
wages.
The heat of the meeting became
even hotter when Charles Weber,
Cold Spring, made motion, sec
onded by A. w. Traut, lie Sank,
that the commission refuse to have
any more small jobs for truckers on
county highways and that all that
work to be let out on contract.
During the meeting it was ex-
planned that such truck drivers, like
Thelen from Melrose, work two
weeks for the WPA and then two
weeks for the county, in sequence,
