trial gains in the state he said that
from 1921 to 1929 Minnesota ranked
18th among the Industrial states in
percentage Of gain in number Of
plants with 5 percent. Comparing
1929 with 1885 we find that Min
nesota was in 4th place with loss
Of 13 percent of It's plants while
the national average showed less
than 1877 percent. All the leading
industrial states showed a loss Of
plants during these depression
years with Minnesota showing a
smaller loss than all except Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Califor-
MIA.
Mr.. France showed the loss in
wage earners from 1914 to 1885 in
various industries Of the state.
Some industries such as food, cloth
ing and textiles, printing and pub
fishing and miscellaneous wage
earners showed a gain; losses.
some of them heavy, were shown
in the machinery and metals, lum-
Der and woodworking, railroad re-
pair shops, and boots and shoes in
dustries.
Minnesota cannot boast Of coal
resources nor a concentrated popu-
lation comparable to othes sections,
nor can she offer the cheap mill
hand labor Of the southern states.
availability Of raw ma
terials must continue to be a DOM
mating factor for the location Of
industry in Minnesota. It is there
fore evident that industry in this
state must look to science as never
before if it would continue to ex-
pand. Important development has
been made in the field of plastics,
cellulose, building materials, chem
icals, casein and synthetic fibres,
all using raw materials produced
on our farms. New fields of de-

Size Of the Baltic Sea

Although the Baltic sea is smaller
than the greater sister sea south Of
the continent, 1t is a sizable body Of
water. The distance from the Skag-
errak around into the head Of the
Gulf Of Bothnia Is more than 900
miles. and the main body Of the sea
Is over $50 miles in width. It will
surprise most readers to know that
the shores of the Baltic are gov
erned by the same number Of gov
ernments that control all the Medi-
terranean, ten in each case. A curl
Gus difference between the two seas
is that while the Mediterranean Il
more saline than the ocean outside
Of the Strait Of Gibraltar, the Baltic
is almost as fresh as a lake.

Builds Nest, Hunts for Bride

The male stickleback, common in
British ponds and streams. is Won
derful father but a tickle husband,
observes a writer in Pearson's Lon
don Weekly. He builds nest, SINH
lar to a birds nest, with decaying
vegetation. Then he assumes his
brilliant coloring and goes in search
Of bride. He brings her home and
she lays her eggs in the nest. Then
she gets the "order Of the boot" and
Mr.. Stickleback brings home anoth-
er bride. Then another and another
until the nest is full Of eggs. He
then fertilizes the eggs and mounts
guard over them, tanning the water
with his fms to keep it circulating.
When the young hatch he is stin the
dutiful parent and watches over
them until they are strong enough to
fend for themselves.

Annual Meeting of
Creamery Successful
(Continued From PAGE One)

the creamery will operate under
the new articles Of incorporation
was passed in 1928, and is known
as Chapter 326, Laws Of Minnesota.
1t was just common sense to adopt
the amendments, as the articles of
incorporation are now broken down
into sections for easier amendment,
he said. He touched on other CO.
operative organizations and stated
that a real cooperator would sup
port them all.
Mr.. Getten, of Land O'Lakes, Inc,
congratulated the stockholders on
the development they had made in
their local association over a per-
iod Of years. He asked them not
to leave all responsibility to the
board and officers, but to have
definite goal in mind, not to lose
fact Of that purpose, and achieve
that goal. He showed the neces-
sity of national advertising for in
creased butter sales, and said that
united thinking and united effort
are what make a cooperative or
ganization successful. In speaking
Of advertising he said that we can
not expect the government to re-
lieve the farmer of all responsible
ity, and that the responsibility does
not end at the local creamery, but
that program of education must
be carried on through mediums of
national importance by the Land
O'Lakes, with the cooperation of
the local units. He said that it is
necessary to show that it is not
better to put color on from the out
side through cosmetics, than to put
on color from the inside through
the use Of dairy products. He ad-
vised building for the future to
cope with problems which will con-
front them as time goes on. He
gave an account of the work of the
Land O'Lakes organization, and its
effort to keep the price up. He
explained the organizations adver-
tising program and closed in say
ing: IF the American farmer is to
enjoy the present standard of liv-
ing, VIC huSI PiolCSI tiC hidi hCl
for the American farmer"
Mr.. Lying asked that the group
rise and in silent devotion show
their honor and respect to ]. F.
Coyle, first president of the Sauk
Lake Cooperative creamery, who
passed away during the year. Mr..
Lying also expressed the thanks of
the association to the Sauk Centre
Herald for being always willing to
give the creamery a boost, and to
the Sauk Centre business men for
their liberal cooperation.
A. N. Cordell, operator Of the
creamery, was introduced as a real
cooperator, and an asset to the as
sociation. He said: Success Is at
tanned when we set goal and stick
to it. When we changed plants,
many thought it a bad move. I
don't believe it. We have increased
our patron list by 130 members
since we made the change. Stick
together and we will be successful"
He thanked the patrons and board
members for their cooperation.

Viola Came Into Use in
a The Fifteenth Century

Older than the violin. the viola
family came into existence In the
Fifteenth century. However. It
passed out Of general use almost 300
years later. The viola differed from
the violin by having deeper ribs
and fiat back, which sloped at the
top. It's shoulders curved upward.

instead Of at right angles. The
"chest Of viols" contained three
sizes-bass (viola da gamba), tenor
(viola da braccio) and the treble.
To this group must be added sub
sidiary types-the double-bass viol.
viola bastarda (baritone) and the
viola d'amore.
Our modern viola developed from
the viola da bfaccio. and. as the
Italian name implies, was held by
the arm. It had six strings. but In
the Eighteenth century the lowest
was discarded. To Gasparo Berto-
lotti (1540-160O better identified with

but earlier examples were both
larger and smaller. observes an au-
thority in the Chicago Daily News.
In the days Of Bach the viola da
gambia was popular. He wrote three
sonatas for ii, and he uses two Of
them in his sixth Brandenburg con-
certo. OF the secondary group. the
viola d'amore, having sympathetic
strings, has never become wholly
archaic. Berlioz praised its tone
quality, and Meyerbeer included It
In an aria in Les Huguenots.

LOWEST DEATH RATE

Preliminary estimates made by
a leading life insurance company
indicate that the death rate in the
United States for 1888 was the low
est In the country's history-slight-
ly less than los per 1000 inhabi-
tants.
According to the statisticians, all
sections Of the country shared in
this excellent record for low NOR
tality. Estimates Of births indi-
cate that more babies were born
in 1888 than in any year since 1882,
this increase also being shared by
nearly all the states.
The death rate has decreased
greatly in the United States since
the beginning Of the century. In
1900 1t was 17.6 per 1000; in 1910
It was Is; in 1920 1t was 13.1; in
1880 1t was 11.3. The drop from
17.6 in 1900 to less than 10.5 In
1898 in quite remarkable.
The only countries for which Of
ficial figures are available which
have q lower death rate than the
United States are Australia and
New Zealand, which average be-
tween 8 and 8 deaths per 1000.
In spite Of the worldwide de-
precision Of the last 10 years, every
county In which records are kept
has shown a marked decrease In
the death rate. It may be added
that the birth rate In most coun-
tries also has decreased, so that
the growth Of world population ID
not as rapid as formerly.-Ex.

Of Club Secretaries

one or two members from every

siderable interest. The purpose Of
this organization would be to dis
cuss and promote various projects
Of interest to all clubs. This group.
it was said, would command more
attention than the individual club
in such things as industry, agricul-
ture, labor, conservation, etc. 1t
was the consensus Of opinion that
this kind Of an organization Is need
ed and will very likely become a
reality in the near future.
Ed L. Shave, director Of the State
Tourist Bureau, presented an inter-
esting picture of the tourist situa-
ton in the state. He said the de-
cline In our tourist business was
due to lack Of advertising by the
state, labor troubles and business
decrease, and increased advertising
by other neighboring states. De-
spite the decline our tourist busi-
ness Is still the third largest indus
try in Minnesota. He pointed out
that we cannot expect too much
this year due to the New York and
San Francisco World Fairs. These
two events will, no doubt, take part
Of our tourist trade, he said. How
ever, a movement IL under way to
combine the advertising Of Mime
sota with that Of Wisconsin and
Michigan, as these three states Of
fer the largest bid for summer
tourist trade. This system Of ad-
vertising will lesson the cost and
will increase circulation. The group
felt that this system was good

PETERSON AND MUM
ATTACK STASSEN PLAN

Former Governor Hjalmar Pc
tersen and Charles Mum, railroad
and warehouse commissioners, to-
day "gravely questioned" the pro-
posal of Governor Harold Stas-
sen for stripping the commission
of most of its powers and slash
ing its funds from around $2,OO0,-
600 to 100000 in a consolidation
scheme.
Their statement follows:
"F'or more than half q century
the grain inspection department
has been under the railroad and
warehouse commission of three
elected officials, directly reponsi-
BILE to the people.
1T is q separate and distinct
unit of grain samplers, weighers,
inspectors, reinspectors, laboratory
workers, etc. From 300 to 400
persons are employed in that de-
partment.
Likewise the livestock weigh
ing department, with 40 to 80 en-
ployees, is a separate and distinct
unit under the railroad and ware
house commission for about a
quarter century.
1T also is proposed to place the
weights and measures department
under an enlarged commerce de-
partment. Individuals who may
be good hotel, restaurant, barber
shop and beauty shop inspectors
may not be competent scale ex-
perts.

ment has always been selfsupport-
ing. The major part Of the fees
collected from grain inspection
comes from outside Minnesota
For more than 50 years 1t has

We gravely question whether the
public would be better served by

POULTRY
HINTS

Vitamin A deficiency may cause
any of the following conditions in
the birds.
Respiratory System: Lowered re-
sistance to respiratory diseases
in general, Inflammation Of the
eyes, pneumonia, hardening Of
the mouth and throat.
Reproductive Organs: Atrophy and
distinction of the reproductive
organs.
Vitamin D is one Of the most
essential growth factors for poul-
try. The body produces its own Wit
amin D from the direct sunlight at
certain times Of the year and dur
ing the early growing season. Rainy
weather and cloudy days often pre-
vent sufficient exposure to sunshine
to bring about proper vitamin d
balance. It is then necessary to
supplement D in the feed. The
most important source of vitamin
D is cod liver oil. It should be
used in the mash Of all growing
and laying birds. In growing birds
the lime salts are not deposited
in the bone unless there Is vitamin
D present. There are several grades
of vitamin D oils on the market.
Fortified oils have additional
amounts of vitamin D added.
AS food, eggs rank among the
highest food sources of vitamin A,
vitamins B, c and D.
The cost Of chicks is a minor
investment. The expense of equip
ment, feed, labor and necessary
medicines represents major invest
ment. The average cost Of chicks
is possibility cents each while
mature egg-production fowls are
worth at least $1.25. A good health
program can mean the difference
between the value Of chicks as COM
pared with the value Of a mature
fowl.
q The success Of raising poultry
doesn't depend on how cheap they
can be raised, but on how good
they can be raised. A Health Pro-
gram Pays. Start out right and
follow through with the known
means Of disease prevention. Be
prepared to do the right thing at
the first sign Of trouble.

Early Clockmakers Made
Odd and Useful Tickers

Craftsmanship among the medic
val clockmakers was carried to a
point which would do credit to a
modern artisan. Working for cardi-
mails and princes, they had unlimited
funds and unlimited labor power to
aid them in production and they set
up some very creditable clocks
which tell the time as well as when
they first did 500 years ago.
Clocks were so rare and so useful
that they were held in esteem and
awe in those days. The first clock
to be set up In England-in the old
palace yard in 1288-had perma-
nent official appointed by the crown
to take charge Of it, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Medieval clocks could be very
elaborate pieces Of work, outrival-
ing anything to be seen in our day.
To strike the hours, singing birds.
Growing cocks or horn-blowing
trumpeters would be elected from
special compartments. Professions
Of church officials and military off,
GERS, dressed in vestment or uni
form complete to every detail,
would be made to parade on plat
form in front Of the dial to announce
the time Of day. Bells would sound
. different chime for every hour Of
the day.
Some Of the medieval clocks
were even rigged to show the move
ments Of the stars and planets. This
they did with considerable accuracy

ment for any clockmaker anytime.

Conservation Practices
Protect Wildlife-

Bitter winds and drifting SHOWS
hold few terrors for birds and small
animals on at least 749 southeast
ern Minnesota farms, reports Her.
bert A. Flueck, state coordinator
for the Soil Conservation Service.
The farms are included in erosion
control agreements with the Ser
vice, and on them such practices
as re-vegetation of hills and gullies,
protection Of woods against graz
ing and strip-cropping are not only
saving soil but also improving con-
ditions for wildlife.
The TAO farms, part Of the total
Of 1922 farms now cooperating with
University Farm and the Soil Con-
servation Service, are also wild
life cooperators." They're taking
special pains" to make birds and
animals "at home" on their farms,
Flueck explained.
.'The special pains include plant
ing wildlife food plots in odd cor
ners, planting berry shrubs in waste
parts Of the farm, and encourag-
ing shrubs and other growth along
fence rows to provide highways for
birds and animals" the coordinator
said.
Some of my apple trees have dead
branches or dead bark, and show
some sort Of fungus growth ON the,
dead parts. What can I do to re-
pair the trees?
Your trees are probably showing
the effect Of the cold winter Of
1855. That winter caused a great
deal Of injury to apple trees, which
did not appear at once. There is
nothing that can be done now ex-
cept to cut of the dead branches.
and remove the dead bark. Since
the injury is apparently Of long
standing, it is very likely that wood
decay has entered the trees, so
there is little to gain from cover
ing the wounds. About all that can
be expected from most Of the bad
ly injured trees Is that the living
parts will remain alive and bear
fruit for a few more years. Our
recommendation is that you set out
young trees SO that they may de-
velop while the old trees are still
alive.-W. G. Brierley, division of
horticulture.
Next spring we are planning to
start q strawberry and raspberry
farm near the Twin Cities. What
varieties do You recommend?
Latham and Chief are the recon-
mended red raspberry varieties.
Latham is somewhat better as a
commercial berry, but Chief has
some value as it ripens a few days
earlier. At present, Premier and
