New Farm Bill TO
Provide Marketing
Quotas For Tobacco
Details OF New Bill Now Pend
ing In Congress Explained
By Farm Agent.

(The details relatives to the pro-
duction of tobacco, as contained in
the new Farm Bill that is now be-
ing considered in Congress, were
explained in the following manner
by the local farm agent and his as
siStantS.)
Under the tobacco marketing
quota, provisions of the general
farm bill which is now in confer
ence the secretary of agriculture is
required to invoke the marketing
quotas provisions whenever there
is an excessive supply of tobacco.
According to statistics such a condi-
ton now exists.
In the event these provisions are
passed and approved by both hous-
es of Congress, the secretary's duty
will be to make the necessary an
nouncement and impose the mark
citing quotas. It will also be his
duty to conduct a referendum of
tobacco producers and if two-thirds
orm ore vote in favor of the mark
citing quota proviEions the quotas
will then become effective.
Under the provisions of the bill
not in excess of five percent of thes4
national quota may be set apart and
allotted to farms which will pro-
duce tobacco for the first time in
five years.
Consideration will also be given
the small producers on the basis of
the following: land, labor, equip
ment, and crop rotation.
The bill will be administrated by
the secretary through local commit
tees of farmers. In making the al
lotments the committees will take
into consideration in addition to the
land, equipment and other factors
mentioned, the tobacco history, or
past production of the farm. In all
probability the average amount of
tobacco produced in the three years
prior to the year the marketing al
lotments are invoked, will be used
as a basis to determine the quota
for the farm. This means, generally
speaking, that farm which grew
tobacco for the first time in 1887
would not be given the total pound
age produced for base and a farm
which produced tobacco in 1886 and
1887 will be given an allotment
equal to only a part of the average
production for those two years.
In making allotments the commit
tees will not be confined entirely to
tobacco history, however. They
will be allowed rather broad and/
comprehensive formula so that ~
fair and just allotment may Be-
made.
Producers whose acreage allot-
ments will be made for each farm.
Therefore, if the producers COM
ply with the acreage allotted them
under the Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program, they need not fear
any material penalty under the new
bill, and at the same time will be
eligible for payments provided for
in the program.
bondage allotments may be trans
ferred from one producer to anoth-
er. In the event one man has a
crop failure and another an extra
ordinary yield, under proper regu-
lations transfer will be permitted.

QUESTION:: How can I make
chocolate milk that will be sale
able?
ANSWER: To each IT'S pounds
of whole milk add 8.5 pounds of
chocolate syrup, heat to pasteuriz-
ing temperature (16O degrees F.),
stir for ten minutes and then cool
and bottle. If homogenizer or
or viscolizer is available it helps to
run it through from 500 to 1000
pounds pressure. The syrup may
be made at home, but most dairy
men who are putting out good
chocolate milk prefer to buy the
syrup from some commercial firm
as this is usually more uniform than
the syrup made at home.

Questions
And Answer

QUESTION:: When is the best
time to root scuppernong and mus
cadine grape vines?
ANSWER: Scuppernong and mus
cadine grape vines should be root
ed during the fall or early spring.
The vines should be laid fiat on the
ground or placed in a shallow
trench and covered with soil sever
al feet from the end of the vine.
The roofing vine, of course, should
be left connected with the parent
vine until the roofing has taken
place. If the vines are very long,
soil may be placed on the canes at
intervals of every three feet. In
this way several roots are secured
from one cane. The vines will be
ready for planting after they have
remained covered for one season.

At the turn of quarter a five yard
penalty on Sank Centre advanced
Albany. Suddenly, as it had begun
the attack begged on Sank Centres
IS yard line.
It was the stellar work of guard
Steffes who stopped with finality
that Albany onslaught. He recov-
cred Fox's tumble. Then with Ethun
blowing, twisting, lodging down the
field for a succession of six first
downs, the locals rolled the scor-
ing machine out once more. For
IS yards they wore their way down
the field, hitting center, crashing
over tackle, sweeping an end until
they hit the ten yard line. Ethun
then on brilliant running display,
cut to the weak side, alone, and out
sprinted the safety to the goal for
the final score. That long drive.
that omitted any attempts at pass
ing, occupied most of the fourth
quarter.
AS the ball game ended Ethun
was in the process of chalking one
more first down to the Sank Cen
ire total.
1t was a well-balanced ball club
that won for Sank Centre. Their
offensive strength reached the high
point of the season as they won
this their fourth victory in six
starts. Their defensive play chok-
ed the Albany backs before they
were under way. Ethun, Cokeley
ran the ground attack while Kring-
en- and Pangburn shared in the tell
ing passing game. Berggreen. Stef-
fes and johnson couldn't be rode ov-
er on the line. Egan and Moore were
strong men extensively. Rasmussen
and Kuefler covered their ends,
were down on the plays fast. On
the return of punts and on the line
plays the interference formed swift
ly to lead the march.

ly Ethun, were consistent ground
gamers, the line was tearing great
gaps in the opposition defensive.
backs and linemen were wheeling
out in front with splendid interior
ence.
At the outset this aggressiveness
was easily grasped. It was Steffes,
playing his third game as guard, his
first year Of football as senior,
who set the pace. On the very first
attempt on the part Of Albany to
start a running play, he knitted
through the line so quickly he
smeared Albany's Kowski for a five
yard loss.
Selling his lead on the next play
Egan splashed through to halt
Cramers, quarterback, for a loss.
And Ethun slashed in to smear the
next play long yards behind the
original starting point.
But Albany's trouble was not all
because Sank Centre so much out
charged them. In their own ranks
there was difficulty. Using for the
first time a 6-2-2-1 defense, and a
shift into the play, Albany found
themselves under penalty for back
field in motion. Penalties for slug
ging and holding Contributed their
toll. In all seven penalties contrib
uted loss Of nearly fifty yards for
these visitors.
Two speed merchants and one
big boy, who was easily natural
ball player, performed for Albany.
Wellenstein and Menth were fast,
but they never had chance when
their interference was moved con-
tinuously. Fox cracked at the line
hard, tossed tricky passes long
yards down the field; but the Sank
Centre line was tough and the
backs were alert.
Cracking the center post, over
Berggreen, Johnson and Steffes, AL
bany could gain nothing. Equally
disappointing were thrusts over the
tackles held by Egan and Moore,
the two Bicycles Of the line.
The game was only seconds old
when Kringen returned the open
ing KICKOFF for fifteen yards and
then series of downs were COM
pleted behind the spearhead of
Ethun's driving charges that stop
ped only on the scoring side of the
goal line-60 yards away. That's
how the game was begun. Seven
points were Tailed for the locals be-
fore Albany got a feel" at the ball.
Ethun and Cokeley tried two
running attempts In the first series
that started from their own 40 yard
line after the opening kickoff. Then

for one of the few times the razzle
dazzle forward-lateral combine
featuring Kringen to Pangburn to
Ethun, in that order, waltzed them
to the opposite 40 yard stripe. Ethun
lunged for first down. Then Coke
ley added his bit. Another pass
from Kringen to Pangburn was
good to the eight yard line. Then
showing amazing drive, almost
stopped by one man, Ethun reeled
over the goal line for the first
touchdown.
Then setting up the fake kick
formation, it was Cokeley who
punched from the short position for
the conversion. Cokeley has RAM
med more extra points than any
other single player, and he contri-
buted two out of three Wednesday
night.
Albany never got over their own
35 yard line in the first half of the
ball game. Completely smothered
when a line snudged them back on
each succeeding line play, they fin
ally resorted to trickery and hauled
themselves out Of hole. Two pen
alties had put them back on their
own 8-yard line. Setting up kick
formation, Albany sprung Menth to
the % yard line as the quarter end
ed. From there it was short to a
first down. Then they begged. A
series of forward passes folded up
their attack. They were forced to
punt out.
Sensational was the long pass
that floated from the spotting hand
of Pangburn to Rasmussen in this
second quarter. Through the air
for nearly Is yards, in all it netted
gain of some 80 yards to the AL
bany 30 yard line. But play begged
here as Pangburn was smeared
twice on two pass attempts, and
Ethun was caught behind the line.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1938-10-27

It was Albany's best and only de-
fensive work of the evening.
Once Albany's offensive clicked
in this first half After 20 yards
in penalties had been eaten from
their gains, it was this man Menth
again who churned off their first
long gain when, as the half ended,
he completed a 80 yard race nearly
to midfield. But Albany had not
crossed the fifty yard line yet.
Hit that line and give 'em pow
err" Harvey told his charges at the
half and they wasted little time.
The kickoff went to Albany who
was forced to punt. Then starting
from their own 40 yard line, the
III veym e n swung under way
again. With Ethun cracking to the
80, deep in Albany territory, on two
plays, that forward lateral comb
ination with Ethun on the flank to
receive the lateral was good to the
IL yard line. In three plays the
squirming Ethun had dumped the
ball over the goal. A pass attempt
to convert from Kringen to Pang-
burn failed.
1t was Albany's turn now, and
out of a maze of bad breaks that
set them on their heels, they pull
ed out a surprising attack that
launched them well on their way.
When Pangburn's punt went over
the goal, they started from the 20
yard line. Two costly penalties set
them back to their own Is yard line.
Then Cokeley's interference with a
pass receiver gave Albany first
down on their 20. Another finely
spotted pass from Fox to Menth
was completed. Wellenstein ate
up the yards between that point
and the midfield. A long pass from
Fox to Menth saw a second compile
ton and they bored into Sank Gen.
ire territory on the Is yard heave.

ATTACK ON CLERGY
AT RED FALLS
Newspapermen Berated For
Editorial In Red Lake Falls
Gazette--FOrmer Resident

The people of Red Lake Falls ar
still stirred up over an attack OF
the clergy and the newspapers b.
Governor Elmer A. Benson at
political rally there last week.
Immediate butt Of the governor
verbal assault was Rev. Paul II
Burgdorf, pastor of St. John.
Lutheran church. The governor
concluding speech in which he be
rated newspapers as dishonest ant
Immoral, invited questions.
II would like to know about
Communism" Rev. Mr.. Burgdor1
said, stating that one of the mer
who helped arrange the meeting
had attended a national Communist
convention. How does your adj
ministration stand on Commun-
ism?"
Communism is not an issue in
this campaign and no one can make
it cne," the governor said. After re-
peating his question Rev. Mr.. Burg
dorf identified himself as a Luth-
eran minister.
Benson asked the pastor what
kind of Communism he meant, and
when Rev. Mr.. Burgdorf explained,
the governor said:
IF that is what you mean, I
don't have to answer. If you really
believe in Christian principles you
wouldn't come to a meeting like
this and try to disrupt it."
Benson then raped preachers
who, he charged, had taken part in
attacks on former liberal leaders
and added: Many preachers are
doing the same thing today, but you
preachers won't get away with it
in this campaign.
Don't forget, young man, that
during the world war most of the
Christian ministers did net keep the
faith. They betrayed the faith, not
only in America and Germany, but
over the whole Christian world.
Don't forget that Christ was cruel
fled fer economic reasons"
Rev. Mr.. Burgdorf insisted he
merely was seeking a civil answer
to proper question.
Il hope that is true" Benson said.
Il know it is not true of some Of
them. The economic interest is a
lot more powerful with them than
the spiritual"
After the meeting George w.
Christie and Horace w. Gluten,
editors of the Red Lake Falls Gaz-
cite, asked Benson why he had not
given them an opportunity to reply
to his attack en- newspapers and on
the Gazette in particular. The
governor did not answer this ques-
ton, but referred to an editorial in
the Gazette, and said: That's about
as low as a newspaperman can
fall"
Mrs. Christie told the governor
that she is the daughter Of the late
Charles Lindbergh, first farmer
labor congressman and father Of
the noted flier, and that she OBJ
jected to the governors refusal to
give her husband chance to ans
wer the charges.
"Your father would be ashamed
of you if he were alive" Benson
reported. HE would not. He believ-
ed in fair play" Mrs. Christie said.
At no time did the governor ans
wer Rev. Mr.. Burgdorf's question
about Communism, and other can
didates apologized to the pastor for
Benson's attack.
