A sweeping reorganization of
the state game warden force, in
GLIDING the establishment Of eight
or more law enforcement districts
under the supervision Of chief war
dens selected by competitive exam
nations, was outlined last week by
Conservation Commissioner H. c.
Wenzel.
According to tentative plans
now being made, each district war
den would have from ten to fifteen
wardens under his direct supervis-
ion. District wardens would be Sc
lected on a basis Of general ability.
character, and personality, as well
as records made in examinations.
All district wardens would be
responsible to chief warden in
the st. Paul offices and to the de-
putty director of the division of
game and fish.
1t is planned to furnish all war
dens with uniforms. II believe that
uniformed game wardens will in
spire respect for the law. and will
demonstrate to the public that
game wardens are on the job"
Wenzel said. "Other states have
found this system very successful,
and we intend to profit from their
experience in enforcing game and
fish laws for the benefit of all cit
izens."

Bob-that's Bob Vandesteeg-and
I had a man-sized job on our
hands. We had to burn a straw
stack. In five minutes had raised
a blister on one hand. Pounding a
typewriter doesn't tougher the
hands much. Well, we started the
stack, and the heat came back
smacking me in the face and send
ing little rivulets of sweat into the
corners of my eyes. Darn, there
were thistles, too. I got one sticker
in my shoe which nearly crippled
me. Bob picked one up too just as
he was running with fork full of
burning straw to another part of
the pile. Well, it was funny to say
the least. He was bouncing around
on one foot like an Apache dancer
doing the Chicago hop. So know
about farming.
It took those lads, who approx
mate the human fly as closely as
anything, just four hours to paint
the outside Of the city water tank.
There were eight Of them with the
w. T. Davis Construction Co., and
they are all climbers :. III. The tank
was painted aluminium this time,
which will reduce the temperature
Of the water immeasurably it Is
said. Since the light color reflects
the suns rays. saw one Of those
boys really work the other day
when he painted the flagpole on
the library grounds. He went up
foot over foot, II you get what I
mean, ropes being employed as a
means Of climbing . They don't
much like flag poles, they're mean
and dangerous and it's small fry ).
They steer clear Of steel smoke
stacks, too Mr.. Davis, who Is
on the job here himself, Is wide
ly travelled gentleman who doesn't
do so much climbing anymore
He's batted all over the globe In "a
years in the work He took his
first Masonic degree in California
his second he took in Scotland ;.
his third In South America
He says he would have hard time
settling ;. The boys with the crew
are nearly all southerners, and one
Of them, Mr.. Hill. is from Texas
sho 'nuf Last Friday two o!
the boys were painting the inside
Of the tank. Two sprayers were
going and there's only a small op
ening at the top Of the tank FOL
air. The inevitable happened. They
got paint drunk. One reacts the
same as II he were inebriated with
alcoholic liquor. One Of the boy,
was going to keep right on climb
ing when the end Of the ladde
came. The letters on the side o

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
Homemakers Answered By
University Farm

What types of onions are winter
hardy and can be planted In the
fall?
Two types of onions are COM
monty called winter onions. The
White Welsh Is propagated by seed
sown in the fall; the Egyptian Is
grown from sets produced in the
top Of the plant. This variety is
also planted in the fall. Both are
perennials and are used for early
green punching onions; neither
produces bulbs. None Of the onions
that produce bulbs for dry onions
or storage can be planted In the
fall since they are not winter har-
dy in this region. All the building
kinds should be planted as early as
possible In the spring.-A. T. Hut

threshing rig is the first one to
thresh. Then all those in the ring
send over their men to help him.
Then the ring moves on to
the next farm and on until all have
threshed.
Today one of the few evidences
of custom that launched this ma
ton is perpetuated in our own rur-
al sections. Remember reading of
house raising, husking. and tree
planting bees? The shock ring Is
one of the few remaining vestiges
of the old bee. In town we don't
take the time to help out neighbor
Jones, but out in the country they
realize the economic value of such
practices. If every man had to hire
enough men to thresh, it would
darn soon make threshing an I'M
desirable practice. But when the
farmer can pay for the labor with
his own sweat and Drawn in re-
turn there's a percentage in 1t.
There's another thing I like about
the farmer. He does things so I'M
assumingly. Now take a group Of
city fellers who want to join to-
gether for the prohibition Of the
practice Of chewing gum. What do
they do? Do six or seven Of them
sit down and say we won't chew
any more gum. Certainly not, they
want the world to know and to
join in with them. And then here
in America we have a quaint Gus
tom Of electing officers every time
three people get together over
bottle Of beer. The marvel Of the
whole thing is that farmers can
get together, do more work in
week or two. and never know nor
care just who has headed the
whole project.
Oh, and it's back breaking days
out there in the sun-baked stubble.
A merciless sun pours out heat as
men work from early morning to
dark to beat the elements to the
crop. They pitch, and pitch bund-
les into the hungry NAV Of a ma
chine that never gets its fill. Heat,
dirt, dust and particles Of straw
litter the air and stick on a sweat
soaked shirt. But you know the
men don't have 1t so bad at that.
AS usual the women are working,
too. Long hours they put in over
hot stoves cooking kettles Of veg
etables, meat and potatoes to feed
wolf hungry men from the fields.
During the threshing season every
body works. All boys old enough to
sling fork are shot into the
fields, women cook and take care
of the chores and the milking, lit
tie girls get wood, help with the
cooking. Only the babies don't
have to work.
And I know what I'm talking
about. I was out farming the 9TH
er day. Armed with a pitchfork
and a sapdwich at rofo into the

easy Money"

Prospects for better times in Minnesota commun-
tiles have brought rush Of easy money men, and
itnerant peddlers into the smaller towns and rural
sections These seek out the suckers" in hopes
of making an easy livng-and they usually get it.
During the past several weeks number of these
itinerant pedders grafters have made this COM
munity and according to reports they did very we'll
OF course that happens every year and the peculiar
thing is that men who were taken in before are US
ually caught again.
Reports of excellent crops and fair prices bring
these men into communities and they attempt to get
their share of local money There is for that
the Green River ordinance. Why not try it?

It matters little the time of day
Be it eve or dawning,
For G.. L. Johnson will always say,
Just a plain, old-fashioned, Good
morning"
It seems a farmer
Just north of town
Was tired Of young folks sparkling.
So on his gate he posted a sign
That read like this: mo Parking"
AS I watched huge motorized
units Of the regular army and the
National Guard pass through town
Saturday and Sunday. a startling
surge of feeling swept over me as
it did many others. Most oft heard
comment was: That cost lot of
money" Yep, and it cost a lot Of
money to conduct these war games
over at Pillsbury and Fort Ripley
this year. The games will be the
biggest such maneuvers since the
World War. and over the entire
nation such encampments are
springing up in the greatest mo-
Utilization Of fighting men since
the Great War. Yep. 1t cost a lot
of money, but the U. s. share Of
this mad scramble for war mach
ines is but minute in comparison.
Today, 81 major nations of the
world are spending $4,000 a min
ute building ornaments :. There
is a difference that was notable
when the huge trucks with their
rubber-tired caissons bounced
along through town. People along
the street stopped to cape at the
scene. Now in the old European
countries the presence of fighting
machines and marching troops
brings scarcely a sideways glance.
They're so accustomed to the pre-
sence Of uniformed men on the
streets f. Captain Roy Scott,
