Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture
University Farm

university TdEul
Is it harmful to burn cornstalkS
and trash i'm a field before 1t Is
plOwed or disked?
In general, it is wise to return to
the soil as much of the organic mat
ter as possible. Dead, dry corn
stalks are not particularly valuable
for this, however, fer they contain
little nitrogen and much of the
phosphate and potash will already
have leached into the soil. Burning
causes a loss of the inert organic
matter and what little nitrogen
may be present. The phosphate
and potash would remain in the
ashes. If the soil is subject to wind
erosion, such damage could be mini
mized by breaking down and disk
ing the cornstalks. If the corn is to
be followed by wheat or barley,
burning the stalks may help some
what in controlling diseases. Your
local farm situation must determine
which policy is the better.-George
H. Nesom, extension sells specialist.
Is it safe to- leave canned food
where it might freeze in winter?
1t is better not to let it freeze,
but freezing does not cause canned
food to spoil unless it breaks the
seal and lets organisms get into the
can. Sometimes freezing may bulge
tin cans and spread the seams
enough to permit bacteria to enter.
They should be used as soon as
possible if they are not to be kept
frozen.-Inez M. Hobart, extension

ANOTHER UN-AMERICAN BILL

If America does not eventually
become a bclShevik state it will not
be because some of our socalled
statesmen in Congress have not
done their utmost to make it so.
One of the latest atrocities has
been entered in the Senate by Sem
atcr Lee of Oklahoma, which if
passed and should we be unfort-
unate enough to get into war,
would put the American people,
supposedly a free people under a
democratic form of government,
into exactly the same degree of
serfdom as is now being suffered
by the Germans, Russians and
Italians.
The bill, which has the endorse
ment of the committee on military
affairs, has been termed by it's
author as ''bill tc promote peace
and the national defense" but it
does not promote anything of the
kind-unless 1t would promote a
real revolution. 1t gives the gov
ernment the right to practically
confiscate very great portion of
JIl6 private "6dlIu Ol ALutrlCd,
giving in payment therefore, COVER
nment taxable bonds bearing only
cne per cent interest and maturing
so years after issuance'-long after
the death of nearly all those it
would be taken from. The bill
would be almost universal in scope
as it would start with taking five
per cent right from the first 81 900
of wealth owned by a person. The
amount confiscated increases with
the added amount of wealth
person would possess. For in
stance, a person worth 100000
would be compelled to purchase
$9,45O worth cf the bonds which,
as far as the victim was concerned,
would be valueless.
This bill is scheduled for action
when Congress convenes in jan
uary.
There are a lot of damphocls in
the world but very material part
of the worst of them seem to be in
Washington. Stain, Hitler and
Mussclini will be addressing our
Pres. Roosevelt as "comrade."

OVER 800 TICKETS SOLD
FOR FTREMEN'S DANCE

Over 300 people have purchas-
ed tickets to the seth annual
Firemen's ball to be held in the

j. A. Rose, in charge Of ticket

shown in this event for many
years, and those in charge are
elated over the cooperation
shown the department. A good
orchestra has been booked for
the dance, and the firemen ex-
pect to sell a great number of
tickets at the door tonight.

ed for the interest Of dance low

Sinking funds Of all units in the
county to meet future debt pay
ments and debt charges amounted
to $69,899 as of December 81, 1888,
the report shows.
1t is pointed out that the item
warrants outstanding" is in real
ity a deficit. Units having such
deficits are urged by officials of
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
tion, as well as by local taxpayer
officials, to get on a "pay-as-you-
go" basis in order to keep carry
ing charges down and to prevent
eventual financial embarrassment
to the community. Such deficits,
it is said, have brought trouble to
many counties and local units thru
out Minnesota. They have been
partly responsible for tax delin-
quency and rising costs because
they have encouraged public offic-
ials to spend, even after the avail
able funds were used up.
The purposes for which bonds
were issued are as follows:
Cities and Villages:
Cold Spring: Sewer, $4,000.
