ing Records of Pupils

Sheriff Art McIntee, CT st. Cloud,
has given privilege to the schools
of the city for the finger printing

closed that a Statewide volunteer
organization was in process Of for
nation to support his candidacy.
In the 1896 campaign, after the
Democratic candidates for u. s.
Senator and Governor withdrew, 1t
was feared by many Democrats
that the party would fail to poll the
required statutory vote, and in con-
sequence would lose its legal status
in Minnesota. Gallagher, holding
that his first duty was to the peo-
pie throughout Minnesota that
nominated him, refused to with
draw, waged hard aggressive CAM
paign, under singularly adverse cir
cumstances, to roll UP a surprising
ly substantial vote in the finals.
His action was generally credit
ed with saving the Democratic par
ty in Minnesota, and at once gave
him wide support for the 1888 Cub
ernatorial nomination. He Is the
son of p. J. Gallagher, Of Faribault,
where he was born and where
members of his family first settled
in 1850 when the town was little
more than a trading post.
Gallagher, who recently passed
his fortieth birthday, Is married
and has three children. He grad
uated from the University Of Min
nesota Law School in 1921, and has
since practiced law in Minneapolis.
In 1918 he served as Second
Lieutenant in the United States
Field Artillery and is active in the
American Legion and other service
organizations.

Under the soils conservation pro-
gram for 1888 it is possible to use
soy beans for hay as part Of the
non-depleting allotment On each
farm according to the county
agents office. In view of this the
experimental results recently an
nounced on soy bean trials con-
Quoted in Stearns county in 1887
will be announced. On five farms
soy bean trials were started with
the Cuyuga, Dunfield, Illini and
Manchu varieties. The Cuyuga and
Manchu beans were grown here in
Minnesota while the Dunfield and
Illini were brought in from Cham
paign, Illinois. On three of the
farms the yields were checked.
In the early part of the year
1887 rainfall was quite ample but
additional moisture would have
brought bigger yields on most OF
these farms. From the average re-
suits it can be seen that with yields

beans to make up a portion Of the
non-depleting allotment, many far
mers going in on the program who
are now short en- their non-deplet-
ing acreage could well use soy
beans to advantage. A few local
growers have supply Of Manchu
seed raised in 1887. For folks inter

the best results in Stearns county
Farmers CT Stearns county inter

conservation program for 1888 can
secure information on the operation
of the program from the county
agents office at st. Cloud or from
the community committeeman In
the various townships. Enough in

gram to as many folks as possible
