Dairying, Profit On
Farm, Home Week

Getting more profit out of the dairy
business will be a major goal in the
dairy program offered during Farm
and Home Week at University Farm,
St. Paul, January 20 to rs. j. B.
Fitch, chief of the dairy husbandry
division, recommends two discussions
along this line, more profits from
better pastures, and management fac
tors that effect dairy herd profits.
The dairy program, which is one of
more than a dozen offered in vari-
GUS phases of agriculture, will begin
Monday afternoon, January 20. Dis
cussions will include new develop
ments in calf raising, feeding prob
lens, and the ups and downs in dairy
ing.
Minnesota cow testers will hold a
conference on Tuesday while the rest
of the dairy group attends classes
concerned with grass silage and vita
min and mineral requirements of
dairy cattle. A highlight of the week
will be the dairy cattle judging con-
test open to all farm and Home Week
guests held on Thursday. Mr.. Fitch
and w. B. Combs, also of the dairy
staff, will discuss recent research by
the department, and H. r. Searles,
extension airy husbandman, will
bring organization news of artificial
dissemination associations. Calfhood
vaccination in controlling Bangs dis
ease is another popular subject listed
on the program. 1t will be dis
cussed by DR.. w. L. Boyd, chief in
veterinary medicine.
Dairy breed associations, Brow n
Swiss, Guernsey, and Jersey, will hold
meetings on Thursday, and on Fri
day the short course group will hear
discussions on animal genetics, and a
national program for advertising dairy
products. The dairy program will
close with question-and-answ ses-
sion on dairy herd feeding and man.

Weaker Trend In
Fat Cattle Trade
Light Supplies Fail to Boil.
ster Market. Hog, Lamb
Prices Advance.

South st. Paul, Mimi, January 7,
1941: Slaughter steers were under
pressure during the first two days
of the week, and despite light sup
plies buyers were able to effect saw
ings in extremes of Csc as COM
pared with the close of last week.
The market was uneven, how
ever, according to the Federal
State Market News Service, rang
ing steady to Csc lower. She
stock followed a similar trend, and
bulls were steady to weak. Vealers
held steady on Monday, but showed
weaker trend on the Tuesday SEES
sion. Feeder cattle drew broad de-
mand and sold steady to strong, medi-
UNI to good kinds bulking at So to
1925. Medium grade slaughter steers
moved at $3.50 to $9.75, with several
loads good grade kinds $40 to $10.75.
A few packages of strictly good offer
ings topped at $12. Several loads good
heifers sold at $40 to $1O.35, with
bulk medium grade $3.50 to SO. Good
and choice vealers brought SO to $40,
strictly choice $1,000 to Sill.
Hog Prices Steady.
Hog trading opened the week most
ly 10c higher, with spots 15c to Csc
up on light lights. Much of this adj
vance carried through into the fol-
lowing session. However, the late
Tuesday trade was generally 1Oc
lower, making that days prices steady
to 10c higher compared with last
weeks close. Tuesdays top of $7.1O
was paid on good and choice 100
to 270 pound barrows and gifts, while
bulk ITO to 800 pound offerings
moved in a 81 to $40 spread, and
300 to $50 pound offerings cashed at
$6.75 to 81. Most 40 to 160 pound
light lights spread between S6.65 and
81, scattered lightweights down to
$3.50. Good sows of all weights
cashed mainly at $500, a few late
sales at Sc and $6.10.
Slight additional price strength was
shown on fed lambs, with gains of as
much as 15c recorded. Yearlings
shared in this advance. Other slaugh-
ter classes were taken at steady
levels. Western fed lambs predomi-
mated in the crop. Montana and Da-
kota fed lambs cashed freely from
$3.50 to $9.65, largely at $965, which
is also the weeks top to date. Good
to choice yearlings averaging 1O2
pounds realized $3.50. Choice western
fed slaughter ewes made $4.75, with
natives tapering downward from 81 so
to $1.50. Shearing lambs advanced
Csc, mixed loads of fats and feeders
selling for shearing purposes from
SO to $9.25.

Carload OF Mattress
Cotton Is Ordered

The county Triple A committee re-
Gently ordered carload of cotton
and four bales of ticking for the cot
ton mattress program in Pine county
This cotton will probably be here
some time around the middle of Feb
ruary at which time the program will
get into full swing according to Max
McMillin, county agent.
Applications are still being taken
for a second carload which will be
ordered as soon as enough applica-
tions are in. Each carload of cotton
will make 480 mattresses.

Paralysis which directs expenditure
among local polio victims.
Asks for Volunteers.
In launching the 1941 campaign,
Mr.. Reynolds asked for men, women
and children to aid in the campaign
under the slogan, Help the Young
sters Around Your Corner" He
asked that volunteers report to their,
county chairman or to the State

campaign were less than three and
one-half per cent.
TWenty-fiv Deaths in 194O
A report issued recently by DR.. o.
M. Daniel, director of the Division of
Preventable Diseases, Minnesota De-
partment of Health, revealed that
255 cases of infantile paralysis with
rs deaths were reported to the de-
partment in 1910.
"These figures reveal the need for
aiding in the battle against polio. In
the past 10 years 2,788 Minnesota
children and adults were stricken
with the disease, and 286 died., Mr.
Reynolds said.

Ausmus Selected
To Head County
Board This Year
C.. A. Pearson Picked as
Vice Chairman in Annual
Meeting Held Tuesday.

Meeting in their annual session
Tuesday forenoon in the court house
in Pine City, the county commission
ers selected w. G.. Ausmus of the
Second District to head the board in
l941. c. A. Pearson of the First Dist
riot was picked as vice chairman. The
other members of the board are Mag
nus Christensen of Hinckley, Harry
Gebhardt of Markville, and Hollis
Laid of Finlayson. The latter two
were elected in the general election
last November.
The Pine Poker-Pioneer will be
the official county paper this year
and the Askov American will issue
the second publication of the auditor
financial statement. Among OF h e r
items of business in the forenoon were
the approving of the bonds of the
clerk of court and the judge of pro-
bate, and a discussion of sums in the
various county funds.
Discuss CCC Camp Possibilities.
Recovering in the afternoon the
board was approached by Ray Glenn
ments and n o t h e r representative
from the State Forestry department
regarding the possibilities of starting
a CCC camp in the northeastern part
of Pine county. While there are a
number of these camps in western
and northern Minnesota it is the de-
sire of the government to construct
a new camp in the area south of Du-
luth and Pine county was considered
as a likely choice. If large enough
tract of publicly owned land in the
four northeastern townships can be
obtained the camp may be located
there. However, nothing definite has
been decided.
Salaries Set.
Taking up the matter of salaries
of the county officers the same rate
of pay was set. They are as follows:
Sheriff, $1,000 county attorney, ST.

neer's office again will receive $40
per month; and the county auditor
was allowed $500 for clerk hire in
1941. Wages for road labor were set
as in the past.
The members of the county COM
mittees are as follows: Poor, Chris
tiansen and Ladd, and DR.. E. L. Ste
phan of Hinckley with salary of
SIS per year; claims, Pearson and
Gebhardt; roads, Pearson and Laid;

The store was under the manage

Cunningham store in Sturgeon Lake
for some time past. The original
building was the old village hall,
built in the early mill days near the
Ole Nyrud blacksmith shop. About
four years ago it was moved to the
foundation of the Swartz store, on the
west side of the Northern Pacific
tracks, near the crossing The Swartz
store had been destroyed by fire some

Must Give Report
On AuCame Taken

All hunters who had taken out
small and big game hunting licenses
were urged this week by the Depart
ment of Conservation to return the
report cards which were attached to
their permits.
According to law the hunters must
report their bags before January 80,
1941, for the previous hunting sea-
son.
The information is used by the
Department in guaging the m e
harvested by hunting and this check
is in turn used in determining the
hunting seasons, bag limits, hunting
areas and to obtain other necessary
data.

Then with a piece of board he

it out with his hands.

no one answered. Finally the snow

take the straw tick from the bed and
put it in the crack of the door to
keep the cold and snow out. We
were certain that Father had lost

Weather Bitterly Cold.
BY morning the storm had abated
somewhat but it was still very cold.
Shortly after daylight Mother heard
Father outside and partly opened the
door. Snow was piled to the top of
the door so she had to hand him the
shovel which we always kept in the

War in Albania.
AS for the war between the Greeks

ward and eastward in persistent re-
treat. They are losing all the time.
The Greeks are winning all the time.
And just now they are getting closer
every day to one of their important
goals, the city of Valona; simultane-
ously with their progress in that di-
rectlon, they are now heading toward
Tirana, the capital of what once was

The ItalO- Grecian war still
must be considered a link in the
