Glenwood, Minn.-History will
repeat itself next Sunday when

skins down the Glenwood ski slide
as the Glenwood Ski Tournament
opens. Just Is years ago this same
Hans Hanson won fame in an in
terstate tourney held at the old
Glenwood ski slide, where he made

SEEDING OF LEGUMES

Minnesota farmers, who wish to
qualify for the diversion and con-
version payments for the seeding
of adapted legumes, should be GER
tain that the seed they select Is
adapted seed that will make it pos
sible for them to qualify for pay
ments, asserts Frank ]. Brown,
University Farm, st. Paul, in
charge OF information for the 1887
Agricultural Conservation Program
in Minnesota.
A recent regulation added to the
provisions Of the program govern
ing use Of adapted seedlings states
that ANY acreage upon which I'M
adapted seed or mixtures contain
ing unadapted seed is planted in
1887 shall be classified as If such
unadapted seed or such mixtures
were not planted"
Claude R. Wickard, director of
the North Central Region, issued a
message recently to Harry Muir,
chairman of the Minnesota State
Agricultural Conservation commit
tee, instructing that "all county
committees be advised about this
addition and that red clover and
alfalfa seed imported from coun-
tries other than Canada Is not con-
sidered adapted"
This means, stated Mr.. Brown,
that the practice payments for $3.50
per acre for alfalfa and $500 per
acre for red clover will not he made
if the seed sowed on the farm in
1887 is of unadapted varieties.
Neither will the diversion payment
of Sc or the conversion payment Of
So be made merely for the seeding
Of these unadapted varieties. How
ever, the acreage upon which these
unadapted seeds are sown may
qualify for the Sc payment, or both
the diversion and conversion pay
ments, depending upon the other
use made Of the acreage. For in
stance, if a farmer fallows a field
in the manner approved, and in the
fall of 1887 sows unadapted seed on
such field, the acreage so used
would classify as neutral and would
qualify for the Sc diversion pay
ment. Or, If farmer, after July 1,
1887, plowed under an old seeding
Of clover or a grass, which CLASH
flies the land as soil conserving
and later sowed the land to un-
adapted red clover or alfalfa seed
the land would be eligible for both
the Sc and So payments, for it
would be considered as having been
handled under soil conserving prac-
tees.

From Two Teams

return pass to score. Each team
made a foul shot as the quarter
ended to 1.
Bellinger was the boy who start
ed the old apple rolling in the sec
ond quarter when he snatched
basket from the deep sidelines.
Brendon ended local first half
scoring with a bucket. Martin,
Prairie guard, took the first Long
Prairie basket before the first half
ended. Half time score stood at Is
to 3.
Elver made his lonely marker
early in the third period when he
raced down the floor unaccompan-
led to take a long pass and scored.
But he didn't break away again.
Arvig followed him up with a one,
and two as fast as lightning, and
his three free throws ran the local
score to 20 points. A single free
throw for Long Prairie set their
three-quarters total at 6.
In the fourth quaxter Martin
took two buckets to run the Prairie
score nearer to the pacemaking
mark set by the locals. Walker ad-
vanced the lead with an overland
shot. Chyba took bucket, and Ar
Wig took another free throw. While
the Long Prairie lads ran eight
points in this final frame the 10
Gals were begging slightly and ran
only points. AS Coach Siminski
took his first team out, Harvey
slapped in his reserves. AS soon as
this was accomplished the Long
Prairie first team rushed onto the
floor in desperate attempt to
close the lead with the local re-
serves. But the embattled Harvey
seconds held until the crack Of the
final gun.

In a third quarter squirt that

of series Of comeback games the
Harveymen downed the Osakis

by the scant margin of Is to II.
A sudden Transformation from
more or less mediocre contest to
one of a driving Sank Centre avail
anche Of attack was brought about
in the third period of this surpris-
ing contest. Led by the Galloping
Arvig, who once again broke loose
after a lengthy drouth, the locals
piled up Is points during this quar-
ter to advance to a healthy lead.
chalking UP buckets for ten
points, while Reble garnered two
buckets, Walker took one, and Bel
linger made the 18th point. The
suddenness of this attack, surpris-
ing in it's effectiveness, caught Osa-
kis flat-footed, and designated the
Sank Centre lads as a ball club
once again.
To fans who expected the annihil-
alton of this Osakis club the first
half was a disappointing display.
Harsh, Osakis forward, drew first
blood and the first quarter found
little scoring. Osakis nosed out in
front during that quarter to lead
at the opening of the second frame
6 to s. The second quarter was not
noticeably improved, but the locals
did pull out in front to lead at half
time II to II.
Then began a series of plays that
were telling on the Osakis defens-
i've play. For part of the third
quarter Osakis kept up with the ter
rifle pace set by the local attack.
The score was fairly even up to 18
to II. Then Reble stepped out to
connect with a short shot, Arvig
came in from the side, Walker
rushed in for short shot, and Ar
Wig took another. The score pro-
ceeded to % to IS for the local lead.
A last basket by Arvig put the 10
calls out in front 30 to 10.

down again. Two free throws and
a single bucket marked the flight
of the locals. A lone free throw was
all that Osakis could get together
in this last period. Osakis opened
up with a barrage that peppered
the blackboard again and again. But
their shooting was hurried and err
ratio, and they connected not once.
For three quarters Sank Centre
played the kind of ball that lost
them three successive games, and
but for the lucky turn of affairs in
the third period might have suf-
fered defeat and certainly would
have won by only scant margin.
Osakis paced the way during the
first quarter, and during the sec
ond scored as many from the field
as did the locals. Osakis Is not that
good a team. So it is evident that
the locals were not playing the type
Of ball of which they are capable.
The type of ball they should be
playing for four quarters was sam
pied out to spectators in the third
frame when the locals rampaged
their way to "a 10 point lead.

Mr.. Jerde Explained
Civil Service Bill
CONTINUED from Page One)

cred some of the most outstanding
decisions ever given from the SUI
preme Court bench. And incidental
ly he suggested civil service exam
inations for Supreme Court judges.
Civil service provides at retirement
sufficient recompense to keep BODY
and soul together.
He deplored the condition that
only six states have civil service
laws which stand out and that nine
have some semblance of civil ser
vice. Twenty years ago civil service
bills were brought out in Minneso-
ia, but they died for lack OF inter-
est. Six years ago and four years
ago they died or were killed for
lack of interest. He complimented
the League of Women Voters for
their stand on the subject, and
stated that with their help a civil
service would be passed, probably
this year, if not possibly at the next
session.
The civil service bill, H. F. 80, he
said, has many fine features, espec-
ially two features which are a def
Unite improvement over the old
systems. This is the bipartisan ad-
miniStration or commission OF
three and a director or administra-
tive head appointed by the commits
sion on basis of merit after COM
petitive examination. The commits
sion of three to be appointed by
the Governor, with the consent OF
the Senate, without regard to party
affiliation, for staggered terms OF
six years each. The merit system
shall apply to all non-e!ective en-
ployees with a minimum OF ex-
ceptions. With reference to veter-
ans preference the bill provides
that those eligible under the rules
of certification, that is if one of the
three high is a veteran, he be CIV
en- the position. There shall be no
preference as to age or extra points
for veterans. This ruling would not
seriously weaken the merit system,
if at all.
Efficiency is wanted in a civil
service bill, and he asked why in
1887 in Minnesota bill is held up
or cluttered with impediments,
which hold up constructive legisla-
ton along this line. If the bill is
not passed this year he urged the
League of Women Voters to contin-
ue the battle to 1889.
He stated that those in office now
will be subjected to simple qualifi-
cation rules, without competition,
and if they cannot qualify they
must be gotten rid Of at once. At
ter that the positions should be
open to competitive examinations.
The bill provides for establishment
of minimum requirements for age,
character, education, experience and
provisions for retirement with pen
sion. 1t provides opportunity for a
career in governmental service,
with promotions based upon merit
and fitness to be ascertained by
competitive examinations, and a
fair and practical procedure for
dismissals and demotions. Political
and religious reasons cannot be
used for dismissals.
Mr.. Jerde, who is an exceptional
speaker, gave a clear and concise
explanation of the bill. The above
is given only in part, and it is re-
grettable that many more were not
present to hear the message so ably
given by Mr.. Jerde.
