With Noisy Welcome
by Ely Citizens.

The state championship Ely drum
and bugle corps Of Frank LOzar post
No. DAB was given a noisy midnight
reception in the wee hours of Wednes-
day morning as they arrived in the
capital Of the Vernlilion range from
the state Legion convention
As the wailing siren Of the police
car indicated that their chartered bus
was on the outskirts of the city, the
fire whistle blared forth a welcome II
which auto horns and cheering citizens
joined
Tired, sleepleSs, and footsore, the
corps members piled out Of the bus
at the city hall, where they submitted
to several rounds Of back slapping and
hand shaking on the part Of several
hundred persons who had waited I'D
for them.
In the eerie light Of half dozen red
flares, they responded 10 the demands
of the crowd for a sample Of state
championship trumpet playing and
drumming. with Joe Gerzin, Jr., pinch

Eighth district, was obliged to remain
in Hibbing
While the corps for the five years
it has appeared at the convention has
given al it had to cop state honors,
winning the coveted title on the sixth
attempt came as very pleasant sur
prise. For six years they fought il out
with Chisholm, one Of the first or
CARNATIONS in the state and possessor
of a national reputation, before they
were able TO convince the judges that
Ely had the better unit.
Ely scored 95.4 points TO eI.5 for
Chisholm, thereby dethroning the
1889 champions who have won the
title five times. Sleepy Eye, 1888 win
ners, was third, and worthington,
fourth.
While the drum corps was winning
a new title, the Legion auxiliary guar
tet lost the one they have held for
two years. Highland Park won first,
while Ely was given second.
No less than three receptions were
planned for the drum corps Tuesday
as the board of directors OF the Ely
Commercial club was hastily called TO-

gala affair was planned for wednes-
day, when it was expected the corps
would return, but after it was found
out that they would be back Tuesday

Tendency Is TOUGrd
Average Production
Lnatend of FOrciNQ

Many operators feel that the use Of
increased acreages of pasture and
roughage is resulting In changes In
livestock farming. For one thing, they
say, less concern is being given to
putting fast gains on meat animals
rather the trend is toward a better
use of the homegrown feeds available
In dairying there seems to be a ten
dency toward maintaining good aver
age production on cheaper rations,
rather than high, forced production
on more concentrated feed.
An interesting angle on farming Sys-
TENS aimed at getting maximum re-
turns from roughage Is contained In
study made by Nelson and, Wilcox.
of Iowa State college, on the records
of Iowa farm business association
members. They find that on the av-
erage farm a combination Of dual
purpose cattle and hogs returns the
largest amount of profit on roughage
produced. According to their study,
calves raised by dual-puTpose cows are
q better profit bet than those from
straight beef breeds. This applies to
a territory where land valuation Is
high and where permanent pasture
constitutes only part of the total farm
land. While high producing dairy herds
made a better showing than dual
purpose cattle, average dairy herds
did not do as well as the dual cattle.
To obtain maximum returns from
roughage in dairy farming, they say,
q herd must be capable of averaging
$50 to 300 pounds Of butterfat year

Diagnostic records Of $500 chickens
examined by the University Of Illinois
revealed that 34.4 percent showed
primary or secondary infestations Of
internal parasites. A nationally known
poultry service laboratory in Iowa ex-
amined over 5000 chickens from ~
states in 1889, and found that ap-
proximately one-third had round
worms while one-fourth had tape
worms.
The Illinois report goes on to say
that most parasites depend on insects
as a secondary host or a means of
transmission. In the case of the tape
worm these include the house fly, ant,
land and water snails, slugs, grass
hopperS, earthworms and great
variety of beetles. The earthworm also
Is an intermediate host to the capil-
laria worm, tapeworm and cecal worm;
while grasShoppers also are hosts to
the gizzard and stomach worm.
It Is practically impossible for poul-
try on range to avoid eating disease
infected insects and thus becoming
infected with parasites. The easiest
way to keep down the degree OF para
sitical infeStation, therefore, Is through
regular and frequent worm treatments.
Worm treatments should be admin
istered before the pullets are taken
from the range and placed in the
laying house RoundwormS and cecal
worms may be removed through mash
treatment, but If tapewornS and capil-
laria worms are present, use a worm
cap" which removes the heads OF
the most common species without up
setting egg production.

A short time ago we discussed the
many advantages and conVenienceS Of
running water, under pressure, in the
farm home and buildings We also
pointed out that the ideal and most
economical method of obtaining 1t was
with electricity, where such service
is available. However, the comforts Of
an automatic electric pressure water
system are only half realized If 1t
does not at all times provide an ample
supply of hot as well as cold water.
Electric tank heaters and water
warmers of various types are ideal
for providing warm drinking water
for livestock and poultry. And for
small quantities q to 10 gallons) Of
hot water for ordinary kitchen, dairy
and toilet use, the non-preSsure cleo
trio heater is cheap both in first and
operating cost. But for practically i'm
limited hot water, an automatic cleo
trio storage heater is the thing to
use.
Such heaters are regularly obtain
able with capacities of from 10 to 140
gallons and, on special order, up to
900 gallons. They are available in
round, square and table-high types,

of the models can be obtained in
single or twin-unit types-the latter,
having both vertical and horizontal
immersion heating units, can be con-

nected for a combination of off-peak
and regular electric rates.
Off-peak operation, controlled by a
time switch with separate meter, heats
the water at night or during other
periods of low demand ON the electric
service lines and therefore, at lower
rates. If the supply is not quite suffi-
cient to meet requirements through
out the day, the other heating unit
will automatically cut in at the regular
rate.
In average use, electric storage heat
erS will deliver twice their rated ca
pacity in a day. For example, 60 gall
Ions of hot water per day can be
drawn from a 30-gallon tank. On that
basis, a 75-gallon tank will be amply
large for all needs of the average farm.
For sizes between 80 and 140 gallons,
electric water heater prices range
from 50 to 81 per gallon Of capacity.
Depending on its size and the tenn
perature and quantity of water used,
an electric storage heater will require
from $50 to 600 kilowatt-hours per
month. At an off-peak rate Of l cent,
the cost thus would be $3.50 to $500
per month, with an average OF about
$3.50. This is cheaper than either
kerosene, gasoline, oil or gas Except
in a few localities). And it Is In
finitely more convenient, cleaner and
safer than either wood or coal.

1--WE hOEd that the American
sugar market belongs first, TO the
American Iab0rer and the Ameri-
can business man."
That is the first plank In the
platform Of the Western Beet
Growers association, adopted at a
recent meeting In Great Falls, at
tended by persons from many
states of the west where there is
the desire for more sugar beet
acreage.
The association took form a year ago
at the meeting of the National Rec
lamation association in Denver, and
the second annual meeting was the
one held this year. The Great Falls
meeting adopted a constitution which
outlined the permanent form Of its
organization, and elected officers to
carry out its program.
The paramount purpose Of the as
ISOLATION Is to secure larger acreage
allotmentS for production of sugar
beets in the western United States. II
expects to work in harmony with
Louisiana sugar cane interests which
similarly want a greater share Of the
United States market for sugar pro-
duced within its borders. A notable
share of the membership of Western
Beet Growers association is made up
of would-be beet growers in areas
suited to beet production, but which
are without government beet acreage
allotmentS.
Said E. w. Rising, vice president of
the association:
Continental American farmers are
now denied the fundamental right to
grow sugar beets and sugar cane;
A erican labor is Disseminated
against in favor of cheap labor in a
foreign land, and American business
men prohibited from processing and
marketing the products of American
soil and American labor. The
future of a score of reclamation prof.
ects now In operation Is to q large
extent dependent on sugar beetS.
Others under construction will require
a cash crop like sugar beets If settlers
are to get a proper start and become
self sustaining. In selecting
row crop a farmer in irrigated areas
is limited to a few items, such as
beets, beans, corn and potatoes, all
of which with the exception Of beetS
are currently produced IN quantities
to supply the domestic market.
THE Western Beet Growers ascot
alton favors sugar legislation continu-
ing the quota system but with pro-
vision for increasing the allotment for
continental growers. An increase OF at
least SOC, 900 tons for the beet area
should be granted for 1871; 100000
tons of which are needed to offset
the present excess production over
quota, and 100000 tons for the benefit
of new overs and new areas"

ram is half the flock" There's a lot
of truth in that adage, but like so
many other wise sayings, folks Just
rattle it off without stopping to figure
out what it really means. Here's our
idea of how it works:
Those grade ewes you bought are
pretty much of a mixture. They're
part Rambouillet, part CotSwold or
Lincoln, part Hampshire or Suffolk.
They might have slight amounts OF
Merino. Romney, Corriedale, Column
bia. Shropshire, or other breeding in
them. Naturally, they have hundreds
of characteristics to contribute to the
Inheritance of their lambs. In fact,
thew have many different variations
for the same trait. One eve will carry
inheritance for a tiny lamb, small
lamb, a medium sized lamb, a big
lamb, and a huge lamb. She will also
carry inheritance for slow growth,
normal growth and rapid growth. And
so on with the hundreds of other
characteristics that make up lamb.
What you can expect any one lamb
to be Is as hard to guess as the OUT
come of a lottery. When you consider
the hundreds of traits the ewes con-
tribute to their lambs and the numer-
Gus variations they have for each
trait, you can realize that millions of
combinations could result.
Fewer Variations
A grade buck, whose ancestry Is as
mixed up as that of the ewes, doubles
the number of variations you can ex-
pect. But a purebred ram from q
carefully-bred flock sireS more uni
form lambs because he has only few
variations for each trait-and they're
all good. Years ago, the ancestors of
our present purebred sheep were just
as mixed up in their ancestry and
had lust as many variations for the
same trait as these grade ewes we're
talking about. Careful selection, gen.
Grafton after generation, has elm
mated all of these variations but the
best. In-breeding Is a short cut. BY
close breeding both the good and bad
inheritance are given a double chance
to show up. Poor individuals, plainly
showing the bad characteristics the
breeder believes are lurking under the
surface, are culled out. Good indi-
viduals, showing stronger dose of
the valuable traits he wants to inten-
sify. are kept in the flock.
That's why good ram is half the
flock. Each eve may contribute
different set of traits. some good and
some bad, to her lamb, but the pure
bred ram delivers the same set Of de-
sirable traits every time. In many
cases, the traits which have been bred
into the purebred ram are dominant
to some of the less desirable ones car
ried by the ewes. The lambs may in
herit a variation of traits from their
mothers. but they all receive the same
dose of desirable traits from their
sire. 1t is this so percent or more of
the same inheritance In all the lambs
that makes uniformity. And it's this
uniform quality that makes the pure
bred ram pay out dollars and cents

sergeant BOzO" Dies
Under Trucks Wheels

The long military career of Sergeant
Bozo dog mascot of Fort Missoula,
was brought to a tragic close when
the animal was struck and instantly
killed by a CCC truck.
The dogs death ended u years as
mascot, honorary master sergeant,
watchdog and playmate for soldiers
at the post
Bozo entered the service at Fort
Missoula. at the age of weeks. He
was promoted four years later to the
rank Of honorary master sergeant
when he was officially adopted by
men Of the Fourth infantry, then sta
toned at the post.
Sergeant Bozo was accorded al
honors befitting his rank and military
record when he was buried on the
grounds at the post. Fort Missoula
officials said they regretted that not
sufficient line troops are now stationed
at the post to accord Bozo a full
military funeral.
