Askov Rutabaga
Day Plans a Made
Officers Selected at Meet
ing Friday Night; Alvin
Jensen Chosen Chairman.

At a meeting held at the Werner
B. johnson home in Askov Friday
night, the committee chosen to head
the Askov Rutabaga Festival this
year organized with Alvin Jensen as
chairman, Geo. I. Glenn, secretary
and Einar Jensen, treasurer. The
other members of the committee are
Martin Andersen, Almer Ecklund
Mrs. E. J. Fogt, Mrs. Chris. Frederik-
sen, A. P. Jensen, E. o. johnson, W.
B. johnson, Wayne Lawson, Mrs. L.
A. Paulsen and H. P. Rasmussen.
Will Set Date Soon.
The date for the festival has not
as yet been set but will be announced
shortly and the general routine of
this years fair will be similar to the
one last year. The committee this
year thought it advisable to ask for
contributions rather than assessing
each business place a certain amount
In connection with this the treasurer
will call on each business establish
ment within a few days asking for
an estimated contribution. Inasmuch
as it takes money to put over a fes-
tival successfully, the committee sin
cerely urges that each and all in the
community consider the matter SER
iously and donate what they feel they
can afford. In time it is hoped to
make the annual festival self-sustain-
ing but it will require some time to
build up the necessary surplus fund
Concessions will again be sold this
year with Martin Andersen appointed
to head this department. Any organi-
cation desiring to operate a conces-
sion stand on the festival day should
contact Mr.. Andersen as soon as pos
sible.
The committee will make further
announcements from time to time
concerning plans, exhibits, prizes, etc.
and in the meantime it urges every
one to be on hand for the festival and
help make it success.

Fish Easily Caught;
anglers Ask " by

Believe it or not, there are Min
nesota lakes with too many fish!
While the ordinary fisherman
tries to catch his quota of fish by
sitting under broiling sun all day
long, residents of several Wright
county communities have COM
planned to the division of game and
fish that in one of their lakes they
catch their limit of walleyed pike
in too short a time.
An investigation revealed that
several winters ago the lake in
question was frozen out, and nearly
all fish life disappeared. Two
years ago, when the water level
had increased, the lake was stocked
with walleyed pike fry. Condi-
tons were ideal, and the pike, like
Topsy, 'just growed." Now there
is not enough food in the lake for
all of the fish, and they are easily
caught.
