has been achieved as far as bovine
tuberculosis Is concerned. The same
should soon be accomplished with
Bangs disease, Under the new law
area testing for Bangs disease can
be carried on in a manner some
what similar to the area plan for
tuberculosis a few years ago ex-
cept that 1t Is not necessary to
have the entire county go in on the
plan. If certain areas Of the coun-
ty, say two or three adjoining
townships, are willing to go in on
this Bangs disease control work,
petitions can be circulated for this
work. In the old tuberculosis tests
it was necessary to have only 51%
Of the cattle owners to sign. Un-
der the new Bangs disease law a
71% sign-up is necessary. This
means that the large majority Of
the producers must be willing to
come in on the plan in order to
make it work.
Needless to say it takes some
time to build up favorable senti-
ment for a movement of this kind
and the extension agent in Stearns
county feels that this is a rather
opportune time to start laying the
ground work for such a measure.
Cattle values are already beginning
to decline. That is especially true
Of beef cattle and dairy cattle
prices will follow suit. 1t is rather
difficult to put over Bangs dis
ease control program when dairy
cattle values are extremely high.
If the ground work is laid now
while dairy cattle prices are still
quite high, everything will be in
readiness to put the thing over
when cattle values are lower Cat.
tie prices move in cycles the same
as is true with hogs except that
the cattle cycle covers a longer
period of time. In years gone by
the peaks and dips in cattle prices
were generally reached 13 years
apart. Lately this cycle has been
shortened somewhat but it still
covers a longer period of time than
the usual Z year cycle with hogs
At the present time some areas in
Minnesota are already going in for
this Bangs disease control work
State and federal indemnities al
the present time make possible a
maximum indemnity not to exceed
SIS per head. This Is the amount
paid from state and federal funds
over and above the salvage value OF
condemned animals toward meeting
the appraised value. The time is
not far distant when prominent
butter producing areas like Stearns
county will find Bangs disease
testing necessary in order to re-
tain favorable butter contracts with
Eastern buyers.

according to the county agents Of
flee, st. Cloud. With this informa-
tion in hand farm operators will
be in position to make their
farm plans for 1910 in such a way
to enable them to come in on the
farm program for this year. An
other large sign-up Is anticipated
in Stearns county. In 1899 almost
1900 farms indicated their inten-
ton of cooperating with the pro-
fgram and almost all of them will
receive payments. The payments
for special allotments such as corn
will add considerably to the total
payments to be made in Stearns
county in 1910. The AAA commit
tee in the county feels that this
additional payment more than JUS
titles participation in the program
even though cooperating farms will
be asked to reduce their corn acre
Nage. Even though Stearns county
has never been a surplus corn mar
keting area, it has in years gone by
produced more than 100000 hogs
per year for market and with pres
ent hog prices around SC per pound
"a reduction in corn acreage over
the country is bound to have a
beneficial effect as far as hog
prices are concerned. The sched-
ule of sign-up meetings is as fol-
lows:

| The AAA committee and the
county agents office urge all folks
who will participate in 1910 to
study their allotment notices and
come to one Of these sign-up meet
ings in order to save cost in the
administration of the program in
the county. From the standpoint
of local expenses Stearns county
has always made a very favorable
showing and that record should not
be spoiled in 1910.
! sss
In times gone by the AAA pro-
grams have been criticized for be-
ing too much control programs and
having too few features that stress
land conservation. Efforts have
been made for number of years
to place more emphasis on conser-
walton. In that respect the 1910
program, according to the county
agents office, has made greater
progress than any of the other rec
ent programs. This is especially
true Of the special $50 payment
possible over and above any other
payments that the farm might
earn.
| Under this plan new windbreaks
or forest tree paintings can be car
ried out. For windbreaks at least
300 trees per acre must be planted
while for the forest tree planting.
a minimum of $50 Is required. Ir
the minds of the local extension
people these minimums are prob
ably too low and every farmer go
ing in on the plant should probably
plan on planting quite a few more
than the minimum per acre. Eaci
acre planted to either forest tree.
or windbreaks is capable of earn
| ing five units Of soil building prac
; tice at the rate of $1.50 per uni
which makes possible a total pay
ment Of $3.50 per acre. The entirt
$50 allowance need not be earned
by any one producer. Each coop
orator will be paid on the portion
of the total that he complies with
Likewise cooperating farms tina
planted windbreaks or forest tree
in the years gone by since 1913,
can earn 2 units of soil practic,
for the care of such trees.
Plans should be made now OF
farms to determine the degree O.
cooperation on this windbreak ant
forest tree project. A study shoult
be made Of the types of trees tt
use for the purpose and arrange
ments should be made for the pur
chase of the necessary trees. The
county agents office at st. Cloud
is in a position to furnish litera
ture on the arrangement of wind
breaks and types of trees to use
These can be had on request made
to that office.

LONDON, Oct 25. CUP)-Neutral
diplomats received reports today
that Adolf Hitler had failed to per-
suade Generalissimo Francisco Fran
co OF Spain to enter the war or to
grant Germany and Italy troop
facilities for intensifying their war
against Great Britain.
They awaited more definite re-
ports of the conference but they
said they believed their present ad-
vices would prove correct.
1t was reported that if Marshal
Philippe Petain of France to whom
Hitler talked yesterday refused to
get in line with the Axis, Vice
Premier Pierre Laval might seek
to unseat him and assume a die
tatorship.
Diplomatic information received
from continental capitals were be-
lieved to indicate clearly that Hit
Ter was trying to start a devastating
political and military campaign
against the British empire before
the United States presidential elec-
tionS.
1t was suggested that he was
aiming at convincing the United
States that it was futile to aid Brit
ain, discouraging any trend of the
United States toward entering the
war, and driving the British COM
pletely out Of the Mediterranean.

A similar belief was current at

The Balkan states, for the mo-
