a good chance to carry on for some
time through the delay of the draft.
After that it may be a wide
scramble, where leading teams may
lose enough talent to bring them
back with an old-fashioned thud
into the second division.
BoseboII to Keep Moving
Certainly baseball will keep moving
forward as long as it can. College
football is in even more doubt
Some teams have ordered or started
spring training, while others already
have called of spring practice.
We understand that most of the
100000 draftees assigned to various
colleges won't have the time for any,
thing but intramural or home play.
No definite opinion yet has been an
nounced. however.
The country at large certainly
needs the conditioning that sport
can bring, There should be an i'm
mediate increase in school competi-
tion along every possible line.
This is one feature that has been
overlooked badly in too many Sec
tors. 1t is now urgent, as the tangle
from l8 to 80 begins to take on new
twists.

Still Time For
Drenching Ewes

There is still time for drenching
ewes with phenothiazine to control
nodular worm disease, according to
Clyde P. Shumway, county agent.
Farmers who have used the drug this
winter report excellent results.
Nodular disease, which causes
Jumps or nodules to form in the
walls of the small intestines of sheep,
should be controlled this year if this
country is to have supply of surg
ical sutures for use in hospitals.
Surgical sutures are made from sheep
intestines. Most of the supply was
imported before the war and now
must be produced at home. Sutures
are needed for sewing wounds and
tying blood vessels, ETC., in surgical
work.
Another item of interest to sheep
men is the sheep shearing school to
be held at Mora on April IL and 13
at a. m. The school is planned by
the Agricultural Extension Division
University of Minnesota, in coopera-
ton with the State Department OF
Education, in order to make sure
that there will be sufficient men to
take care of this springs wool crop
This two-day course is free to sheep
men. Anyone interested in attend
ing should register at the county
agents office at Sandstone.

To encourage citizens to produce
more of their own food and to assist
the various villages in setting up
community garden plots, county
garden conference will be held in
Pine City Friday afternoon of this
week at 2 o'clock in the village hall.
A. D. Wilson, one-time director of
agricultural extension work in Min
nesota, and at present extension
specialist in land use, will be pres
ent at the meeting to explain the
county garden program used recently

veloped few years ago, has attracted
considerable attention.
Mayors of the various villages,
commercial club officials, garden club
officers and representatives of other
civic groups, along with All Club
leaders and any others interested in
gardening, are urged to attend the
meeting. The best methods of gar
dening and of preserving and stor-
ing vegetables will be discussed at
the conference.
Those in charge of the meeting
state that the food shortage is be-
coming acute, and that many fam
lilies will find that they will have
insufficient food unless they produce
| it themselves.

Buildings Lost In
Birch Creek Fire

Fire Saturday destroyed the house
barn and silo on the Henry Erickson
farm northeast of Denham, in Birch
Creek township and but for the quick
work of a son, Lloyd, the property
loss might have been greater.
The fire is thought to have orig
mated from a spark on the kitchen
roof. Lloyd, the oldest child, and
an only son, first noticed the root
on fire, and while attempting to put
out the flames, saw that the barn
was also ablaze. He released the
cattle and in the meantime several
neighbors had arrived to help save
the furniture on the first floor of the
residence.
Lloyd and his two younger sisters
were alone home at the time of the
fire.

'StateTakes Over
Recreation Area
East OfHinckley
Appraised Valuation of St.
CrOix Tract is Set at
$541,O5O.

The ST. Croix park area east of
Hinckley, also known as Yellow
banks, this week became the prop
erty of the state when a bill per-
hitting title to the land to be trans
ferred from the Federal government
was signed by Governor Stassen.
The measure was sponsored in the
state senate by Senator Anchor Mel
sen of Hutchinson, chairman of the
committee on state parks, and in the
lower house by Representative Joseph
E. Therrien of Pine City. The total
appraised valuation of the 30,489 acre
tract has been set at $541 ,050.
Acquired About 10 Years Ago.
The area was first acquired about
10 years ago under the "sub-marginal
land purchase program" being Sc
lected as suitable for demonstrating
value of removing sub-marginal
farms from cultivation and utiliza-
ton of the land for recreational and
conservation purposes.
To properly protect and maintain
the area, an estimated $4,000 will be
needed for each of the next two
years, according to Harold Lathrop,
director of the division of state parks.
Estimated revenue producing facil-
tiles within the area should realize
a net profit of $4,000 in each of the
next two years, Mr.. Lathrop stated,
hot in
normal years.
Many improvements.
One of the first CCC camps in
the state was located in the area
when first acquired, and under the
National Park Service the tract was
developed and improved. Later the
Voc, the WPA and other groups
worked extensively there to help
erect buildings, lay out roads and
fire trails, parking and picnic areas,
and camping grounds.
The improvements include three
completely modern group camps.
each with accommodations for 100.
A complete picnic and camp ground
has been developed in addition to a
complete headquarters unit. The
area is as we'll developed as any unit
in the existing park system in Min
nesota with the exception of the
Itasca state park. The actual cost
of the land was $86,390, value of
structural improvements, $190,500,
and roads, ETC., 1854 ,160.
A game reserve, the area abounds
in deer and other wild life and is
mecca for the true nature lover.
