OF Poultry Flocks

Three poultry raisers in Pine coun-
ty will have an opportunity during
the coming year to keep records on
their poultry flock in record books
supplied by the poultry specialist,
Miss Cora Cooke at University Farm,
according to Max McMillin, county
agent.
Any poultry raiser who would be
interested in keeping records on this
basis and sending in the blanks at
the end of every month should con-
tact the county agents office. There
is no charge to this project, and the
results from the poultry flock own
ers all over the state are summarized
periodically and give facts and fig
ures on how profitable or unprofit-
able the poultry business has been.
All applications for flock owners
should be in the office by October

Earthly Cares.

Death came Monday afternoon,
September % to Frederik Frederik-
sen, aged Askov farmer, at the Pine
City Memorial hospital. He had been
in poor health for more than two
years but the immediate cause of
death was stroke.
He was born in Denmark on No

he mined coal for many years. He
was also ditch contractor and has

Livestock Feed
Problems Raised
By Early Frosts
University Farm Special
list Warns Of Danger In
Certain Crops.

September frosts bring troublesome
feeding problems to Minnesota farms,
but danger and waste can be avoid
ed with little extra care and at
tention to the principles of feed util-
iZation.
The danger of prussic acid poison
ing in certain forage crops immedi-
ately after early frost is very real,
says DR.. w. L. Boyd, head of the
veterinary division at University
Farm. Livestock should not be per-
mitted to feed on cane or Sudan grass
Immediately after an early frost
When cane freezes it should be cut
and permitted to dry in the shock
for safety. If Sudan grass pasture
freezes, it is best to exclude the live
stock for several days until the grass
has a chance to dry out from the
frost. Frozen cane put in the silo may
contain poison, but there is little dan
ger of trouble next winter if the silage
has chance to air out well in hand
ling before feeding. The harmful
acid disappears if the silage is taken
in thin layers off the silo and han
died a couple of times before being
fed.
Get Most From Crop.
Although livestock may over eat
on immature corn, the problem here
is not so much of feeding danger as
of getting the most from the crop
that may have been arrested in the
"soft-corn" stage. Such corn is bet
ter cut and shocked, unless there is
silo room for it, says H. G. Zavoral,
extension animal husbandman. If
it is fed right out of the shock, live
stock will get nearly maximum of
the nutrients in the stalk, leaves and
ear together.
If the farmer has corn which has
reached a fair degree of maturity
but which still presents storage
problems because of moisture con-
tent, he can resort very successfully
to hogging off as much of it as pos
sible. University tests have repeat
eddy shown that hogging off corn is
an excellent practice, ZaVOral says.
1t saves corn, it saves labor and
makes huskier hogs.
The hogs frequently make better
gains getting their own corn than
when they are fed in yards. The
cost of fencing is less than picking.
The exercise will do the hogs good,
especially up to the last couple of
weeks of finishing.
On the whole, livestock will pick
corn cleaner than men. Old sows
and younger pigs, or cattle, may be
turned in to finish the job.

Warm-up Bouts For
The Golden ClOvers

The American Legion post of
Hinckley is sponsoring the Golden
Glove boxing bouts again this year
and plan on at least two "warm-up''
exhibition bouts before the elimina-
ton contests start. Losing in these
warm-up bouts will not disqualify a
contestant in the elimination bouts.
There are 80 districts in the state
and Hinckley holds the franchise for
the first district which consists of
Pine, Isanti, Kanabec and Chisago
counties and eastern Wisconsin. 1t
also includes line north of and
over in Anoka county and extending
east and lying south of Hugo and
Marine, Minnesota.
Any contestant in this territory
who wishes to enter should write or
see Jack Hurley or DR.. H. C. Sven
mes at Hinckley so information can
be sent.
At this time when the nations
physical fitness is being stressed, con-
tests of this kind, sponsored by re-
liable organizations should help build
up the manhood of the country. These
contests have been clean, well man
aged, and good craftsmanship has
been shown throughout.
Part of the proceeds from the main
matches goes to furnish sports equip
ment for underprivileged children and
all local proceeds are spent in the
home district with the exception of
a 10 per cent tax which goes to the
state tuberculosis fund.

Health Plans For
Children Started
The Work Will Be Done
Through Pine County
Nursing Service.

According to word received from
the Pine County Nursing Service
the doctors of Pine county have
agreed to immunize children against
diphtheria for fee of soc. This in
cludes the doses necessary and means
two trips to the doctor. Vaccinations
for smallpox, at the same charge,
will also be given at that time if de-
sired. The work will be done at
various centers through the rural
areas, and will later be done in the
village schools.
Prevention Simple.
Diphtheria is a disease very often
fatal to small children. 1t is also
a disease that can be prevented by
simple injections of the toxoid. Many
rural school boards have decided to
pay or help pay for the work for
the children in their districts. This
will make more of an ideal setup
as then all can take it. The service
believes that babies and pre-school
children, under six years of age, are
most important and that any plan
should include these younger chill
dren.
The rural teachers will be mott
fed of dates, centers and time. The
village schools will also do the work
a little later. Miss Virginia Karl
son, the county nurse, hopes that all
the school and pre-school children
will be protected against these two
diseases, diphtheria and smallpox,
that take their toll each year.

Old Lad
Swallows Whistle

William Walden, Jr., of Sand
stone, had a close call Sunday
when he swallowed a toy whistle
which lodged in his throat. The
mishap occurred when the lad
was visiting the home of his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. AL
vim Albrecht, of Willow River.
His parents were notified i'm
mediately and they came to bring
their son back to Sandstone for
medical attention, but because of
lack of proper facilities there the
boy was rushed to the Eitel hospi-
tai in Minneapolis, where the
obstruction soon was removed.
He seems to have suffered no ill
effects from the ordeal.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Exultingly anticipating victory, the
totalitarian dictators last week began
making plans for new world when
the current war is over. Hitler in
Germany and Mussolini in Italy feel
so confident that they will triumph,
that they are already outlining new
maps of Europe and Africa.
And they make it very clear
that in the new set-up the United
States and the British Empire
will have nothing to say.
If things turn out the way plans
are now being made, the continents
of Europe and Africa will be divided
between Hitler, Mussolini, Stain and
Franco. England and America will
simply-and quietly-fade out of the
picture. That is, of course, if the
quartet is able to carry out its plans.
A few days ago Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, Germany'S foreign minister,
went to Rome where he had confer
ences with Mussolini and his son-in-
law, Italian Foreign Minister Galeaz-
20 Ciano. 1t is understood that on
this occasion, definite plans were
made for the hoped-for complete de-
struction of Great Britain and for a
future world in which British and
American democracies would speedi-
ly become obsolete.
Plan of Attack.
Dictators generally do not author
ize or send out any definite report
about the subject of their conversa-
tons, but on the basis of what did
leak out in Rome, it seems quite
probable that Germany is to con-
tinue its attacks on the British Isles
while Italy undertakes the complete
closing up of the Mediterranean Sea,
the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, all
of which bodies of water constitute
what is known as the British life
line.
And this is where Spain comes
in. At Berlin arrived the other
day Ramon SerranO Suner, bro
ther-in-law of the Spanish die
tatOr, General Francisco Franco,
and, judging from all available
information, he came with a pro-
position: Spain would join Ger
many and Italy in their war

International News Review

against Great Britain if Franco
would be assured that Gibral-
tar would revert to Spain at the
end of the war.
1t was Immediately after the pre-
liminary conversations with Suner
that Won Ribbentrop left Berlin for
Rome, and the implied result of both
the Berlin and the Rome conversa-
tons is that within the near future
Spain, although still exhausted from
its terrible civil war, may enter the
war against Great Britain.
It won't make much difference, one
way or the other, practically speak
ing, but it may be somewhat en-
barrassing to the British in the Medi-
terranean.
Bombs, Bombs, Bombs!
Already the Italians have penetrat-
ed far into Egypt and may soon be
jeopardizing British power at the Su-
ez Canal, but the interest of the world
continued to be conferred about the
bombing war between Great Britain
ana germany.
After more than two weeks of
continued and incessant bomb
ings of London there were a.
couple of days ago indications
that the Germans were slowing
up, and that the British were
taking the initiative in bombing
German air and naval bases on
the Continental side of the Chan
mel. In this way, they hoped to
be able to nullify plans for the
long -threatened invasion of Eng
land.
Whether that invasion will actual
ly be attempted is still moot ques-
ton, and as autumn approaches it be-
comes more and more improbable that
even Hitler will dare defy the fog
and the storms over the Channel and
along the English coasts.
A world sensation was caused on
Sunday when it was learned that a
German submarine had torpedoed an
English vessel carrying 4O6 English
refugees to Canada.
The catastrophe happened on
on September II late in the eve
ming when the sea, six hundred
miles from shore, was whipped
by violent storms, and when

New Willow Dam
Making Lake For

Water From T h e Willow
River Now Flowing Over
New Spillway.

Water began flowing over the spill
way of the new Willow River dam
last Saturday at $40 p. m, just 10
days, seven hours and so minutes
from the time the water was shut
off in its natural flow, according to
the project superintendent, Silvio M.
Giovanetto. The spillway is 48 feet
long and the water is nine feet in
depth near the dam. bikes nearly
100 feet across aid in holding back
the waters creating fine lake which
has as yet not been named.
The area adjacent to the dam, on
the village side of the river and the
tract of land between the dam and
highway 81 is to be made into a park
by the state conservation depart
ment, the state forestry department
and the highway department. How
ever, in order to partially defray the
expense of purchasing this land for
park purpose additional financial aid
is needed.
Will Erect Bronze Tablet.
To this end it is planned to erect
a large cast bronze tablet on the site
with the names of all contributors
to the purchasing fund inscribed
thereon. The donations asked are So
each and these may be sent to either
Mrs. Herb Johnson or J. R. Stanton
at Willow River, and a receipt for
same will be mailed. Anyone with
in the county or out, state the COM
mittee, may feel free to send in this
donation.
The proposed park area is the site of
the old lumber mill that was there
in the early Willow River days. This
spot is now an eyesore as it is Uttered
with sawdust, slabs and other debris,
but when the new project is finished
it will be place of beauty for all
in the surrounding territory to enjoy.
