10 SEEDS BRING
FOREST OF SQUASH

Residents along Birch and
Pine streets between 9Th and
7th were amazed not so many
weeks ago when suddenly the
potato patch at the residence of
Jenc Sorenson bloomed into
plants Enthusiastically not pota-
toes. What they saw were the
crawling, mushrooming vines of
the squash. In places today the
vines rear four feet in the air.
Dozens of squash are on the
vines. The potato patch is COM
pletely overrun and but for the
fact that Mr.. Sorenson had an
other patch of potatoes he and
Mrs. Sorenson would be out of
the tubers. Most prolific, squash
vines came in his garden after
he had set out only ten seeds.
1.-TWO years ago." he said, II
stuck out a seed or two and got
fourteen squash" Troubles have
multiplied. Not only hcve they
overrun his potato patch, but
the vines threaten to engulf
neighbours property unless Mr.
Sorenson keeps constant vigil
Oddly is found too in the fact
the vines have run up over q
pile Of lathe where squash have
blossomed hanging several feet
in mid-air.

ATTENTION.

Some people make it a practice
to drive their automobiles around
the race track at the Fair Grounds,
and since the track has been re-
paired and since 1t is necessary to
do more work to get it in the best
of shape, this practice is frowned
upon. Those, who feel the urge to
drive around the track, should just
forget it, and cooperate with the
fair management. In other words,
kindly refrain from driving on the
race track at any time.

BILL TO hit C0.0PS

WASHINGTON.-(FR)-Dr. Dickin
son, president Of the Arkansas Farm
ers Union, stated that the farmers are
vigorously opposed to the Joker" in
serted in the Relief Act as 1t passed
the house prohibiting FSA loans to
aid in setting up farm co-operatives
The Farmers Union is asking the sen.
ate subcommittee on appropriations
to strike out this amendment put in
by the house.
Speaking for his state, Rep. Burdick
of North Dakota said, 1.-THE worst part
of the whole proceedings to include
this language In the bill is the way it
was done. Two men come to Wash
ington and appear before the appro-
priations committee and insert a
clause against the best interests of
400, 900 farm people of North Dakota"
One of the businessmen who asked
for the amendment is the manager of
the Western Oil Co. of Minot, North
and the other is the manager
Of the Russell Creamery Co. of North
Dakota. Replying to their charge that
these co-operatives were losing pro-
positions, Rep. Burdick pointed out
that In two years these North Dakota
Co-ops have made profits amounting
to 1907 of the original investment"
