announced, may be played Sunday
or before 8 A. M, Monday morn
ing. It is thought that the event, II

the Club an advantageous break
that should send plenty of golfers
to the course. Entry fee is one dol

this week to players in surrounding
communities, and expectations run
high for a good turnout. This short
stop event marks the first such

Get Approval
For Project of
In1nlunization
Will Be Given At Public
School Next Week By
Local Physicians
GIVEN FREE OF CHARGE
School Authorities Ask Par
ent Cooperation To Curb
Communicable Disease

Approval of the District Medical
Association secured for the local
public school program Of pupil
immunization for diphtheria and
small pox, which will take place
next week, announced Supt. w. A.
Kohl Wednesday.
Collaborating with school author
tiles the local physicians will per-
form the immunizations, and the
Toxoid will be furnished by the
state. Any other expense incurred
in this program will be assumed by
the Poard Of Education.
Im1nunization of pupils in the To-
cal schools is considered absolute
ly necessary as only ten percent
have been immunized for either
small pox or diphtheria. This week
cards have been sent from the of
flee of the School Nurse, Miss
Rehm, to parents, who are asked
to sign and return them. There Is
no cost connected with this pro-
gram of immunization, it Is free to
all children, but the permission of
parents must be secured. That per-
mission is granted when the par
ents sign the cards and return
them.
Through immunization diphther-
la and small pox have been prac-
tically eliminated in some states or
communities. For instance, Mary
land, where vaccination is compul-
sorry, only one case Of small pox
has occurred in five years. Massa-
chusetts, under compulsory vaccin-
alton, has had no cases since 1882.
During the first six months Of
1896, Minnesota had 318 cases of
small pox, and in 1895 there were
in this state sol cases Of diphther-
la, with II deaths.
Parents should give more than
passing interest to this program Of
immunization as a matter of the
health Of their children, a vital
necessity for prevention Of COM
municable diseases, which leave
weaknesses and other ailments in
their wake. Given free, this pro-
gram should include every child in
the schools.

Discover New
Cash Cropon
Local Farms
June Grass Seed Finds Good
Market For Local
Farmers
plan HARVEST AGAIN
Farmers Advised To Report
June Grass Meadows To
Local Concern

Last year farmers in this Sec
ton discovered that they had an
additional cash crop which required
no seeding or cultivation, and re-
ference to that crop was made in
the Herald at the time Of harvest.
This new crop is June grass seed,
of which about four carloads were
shipped from Elrosa, the curing
point for this section.
Farmers did not have to harvest
this crop, however, If they did, they
received pay for such harvesting.
One farmer was paid for ten thous-
and pounds Of strippings or seed,
which brought him tidy cash
sum.
This work was carried on
through firm from st. Louis, Mo.
This concern plans to operate in
this community again this year,
and they anticipate a greater crop.
They operate what they call strip
ping machines, which strip the
seed from the June grass meadows,
causing very little damage to the
hay crop.
The best time for stripping Is
just before the seed is ripe, or u.s.
ually before the meadows are cut
for hay. Last year operations were
started later, and many farmers
who had meadows suitable for
stripping were not reached at all.
This year an earlier start will be
made, and local people are anxious
that all farmers are advised, so
that those who have meadows of
June grass may have the opportun-
ity of selling the seed If they wish.
A company representative is in
the city this week, and expects to
return a week or so later. In the
meantime. any farmers who have
such meadows, and who would like
to sell the seed, can register at the
office Of Morse and Morse without
charge. Any meadows Of June
grass within a radius Of fifteen to
twenty miles will be considered.

Boy Scouts Get
Uniform Fund
$123 Realized From Over $4,000
Pounds Of Paper Collected
This Spring

Establishing their uniform fund.
Boy Scouts Of Troop rs wound up
their paper drive last Saturday
when the troop shipped more than
$4,000 pounds of collected paper and
deposited better than $123. Col
lecting the check for the troop this
week was G. r. Easton.
AS expected the $4,000 pounds
reached a week ago was stretched
more than a ton and a half in a
single week to reach the $4,000
pound grand total. Heading the
list was Jim Arneson whose final
checkup revealed a collection Of
1918 pounds. Another to greatly
help in the last ton and a half was
Russell Larson who brought more
than 300 pounds in the last week.
The money will be set up as
the uniform fund with the hope
that the entire troop Of rs may be
uniformed sometime this summer.
The money win be furnished
Scouts-according to amount of
paper he collected-on request, and
only for the purpose Of buying uni
forms, 1t was announced.

Farm Lease
Meetings on
June 2, 3, 4
First Session Scheduled For
Sank Centre At Two
O'clock
EVENING PROGRAM AT 8
Other Sessions At Belgrade
And Kimball For Tenants
And Owners

A series Of farm lease meetings
are scheduled for Stearns county
on June 2, and at Sank Centre,
Belgrade and Kimball respectively.
These meetings were arranged
through the county agents office,
st. Cloud, and will be conducted
by J. B. McNulty, extension spec
ialist in Farm Management at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul.
Two meetings will be held at
each place each day. For the after
noon meetings the land owners are
invited and urged to attend to go
over the problems that they have
as owners of farm property. For
the evening meetings tenants Of
the community are asked to attend
to review their angles Of the farm
leasing problem. This experiment
Is being conducted in Stearns
county in order to get freer ex-
preston from both tenants and
landlords as to their problems Of
farm leasing and 1t Is hoped that II
the plan works successfully here
that the University Farm people
will use 1t in other counties. The
schedule is as follows:
June 2: Sank Centre Community
Club Rooms-2:00 p. NJ, land own
ers; 500 p. M, tenants.
June 8: Belgrade Village Hall
Afternoon, land owners; evening,
tenants.
June 4: Kimlball Village Hall
Afternoon, land owners; evening,
tenants.
The problem of successful land
leasing is one of the gravest in Am
erican agriculture. In foreign coun-
tries the same tenant often lives on
the same farm for almost an entire
lifetime whereas in many American
communities 1t Is unusual to have
tenant that remains on one farm
as much as five years. When ten
ants remain on farms for a longer
period than this it is indeed an un-
usual situation. A better under
standing between tenants and land
lords is necessary in order that
both might gain from the maxi
mum earning power Of the farm in
question. With frequent changes of
tenants as is the rule in America,
many Of the tenants do not have
a satisfactory lineup of livestock
and equipment and the earning
power of the farm is reduced as a
result of this. Likewise many own
ers lack the proper viewpoint as to
what should be done in the way of
Improvements and the planting Of
legume crops on rented farms to
enable the tenant in question to
get the maximum possible out Of
the land and still not reduce or des-
troy the fertility of the soil. Ten
ants and landlords are urged to at
tend one of these meetings in Or
der to learn what practices are be-
ing carried out in other areas that
might be adapted to individual
cases here.

Fire Destroyed
Graham Home
Lack of Water Supply Hampered
Firemen-Other Buildings
Threatened

A serious loss occurred to Sam
Graham when his farm home was
totally destroyed by fire Tuesday
afternoon. There was no one at
home, and starting on the roof the
fire gained considerable Roadway
before being discovered. The Sank
Centre Fire Department was called
Immediately and made the seven
mile run on Highway II in record
time despite the poor condition Of
the road.
Arriving at the scene in plenty
time the department soon had the
fire under control and saving Of the
home and its contents was immin-
ent. However, at the crucial NOM
emit the water supply gave out and
1t was impossible to continue work.
High winds blew the sparks to
other buildings and the department
diverted its efforts to saving them.
Practically all of the furniture
on the lower floor of the home was
taken from the building, while
everything on the upper floor was
a total loss.

Highest Price

Since 81 Low
Range of Price Since Depres-
sion From 18c to Bic En-
couraging to Dairymen
INCREASE PRODUCTION
Heavy Rains Bring On Good
Pasturage-Increase
This Week

While cream production has been
below normal this spring and April
production sagged behind April Of
1896, local creamery operators
pointed to the highest butterfat
prices since 1881 and to the heavy
rains bringing on good pasturage
in this section as indicative Of re-
turn OF at least portion OF the To-
cal dairy industry.
This week as cream production
took its first marked upturn since
the 'fbreak" in June Of last year,
markets were at 81 cents, four
cents higher than last years May
butterfat prices. Marking the high
est prices since butterfat hit a low
Of Is cents in 1881, the present
price schedule gives dairy owners
a better market. Creamery men Of
this city remarked that May
should hold its own in production,
though April slipped short Of last
years April. With continuance Of
rains for pasturage they expect
that June will hold with that
month Of '36. It was further indi-
Gated that cream production would
probably hold good during the fall
and winter. G.. r. Easton, Of the
Blue Valley, stated that If present
weather conditions and crop out
look remain constant, feed will be
cheaper and more stock will be
kept in production during the fall
and winter.
Contributing to a heavy produc-
ton last spring were cheaper feeds.
Last year." said George Strauss,
of the Sank Lake Creamery, farm
ers were feeding 16 and 10 cent
oats. This year they're much high
err" He pointed to the fact that
during May Of last year the Sank
Lake Creamery had produced a.
600 pounds of butter, in June had
raised to 1000 pounds. But in July
when production broke, the total
had slipped to $4,000. Both men
nointed out that it was in July and
during the following fall they ex-
pected that '37 would show ite gain
over SO. Since the break Of last
June production had not approach
ed it's former normal level.
Blamed for this years slack was
scarcity and high prices Of local
feed. Contributing to return of pro-
duction marked this week was the
gain in pasture lands.
