war news
BY Mrs. ChaS. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Heavy rains day after day have
made fields too soft for tillage. Farm
ers who like to go fishing can take a
day off with good conscience. No
one begrudges them this wholesome
sport. All know that when the
weather takes a turn to the good,
these farmers are going to put in
some long days to get caught up.
Mrs. Ingolf Sommerland was doing
the chores alone while her husband
and two boys went fishing for two
days. She was kept busy, too, milk
ing eight fresh cows, feeding eight
calves, sow with eight pigs, feed
ing a flock of 120 laying hens, gath
ering and packing eggs. Sommer-
lands had good Matching eggs. From
200 eggs they got 1T chicks. No
chicks lost yet, but Mrs. Sommerland
had about six that she kept from the
rest. 1t is making every little bit
count that's going to make farming a
success.
This family lived on the prairie of
the Red River Valley where hail and
drouth prompted them to come to
Sandstone township in Pine county
about four years ago. Starting on a
piece of uncleared land, passersby
can see a marked improvement sea-
son after season. Mr. Sommerland is
handy with tools and does all the
carpentering. The house isn't quite
finished, but its well insulated and
modern-as though they intend to
stick to it, come what may. Here
they are making their dreams come
true by hard work and fun Mrs
Sommerland says they all love to fish.
Next time she is going along fishing,
and the boys will stay home and do
the chores. She says home caught
fish are easy on the ration coupons
Fish are not the only things tina,
like angle worms. Oscar Eiffler. near
Friesland, thinks his hogs go for
angle worms. He has three sowS and
81 baby pigs. They have large
pasture 1t is so rooted up that i,
looks like a plowed field. Mr.. Eiffler
says emphatically that feed wheat is
as good as corn for hogs, hens, tur-
keys and cattle They have usec
much and hope for more. Mr.. anc
Mrs. Eiffler are renters. The place
is as neat and trim as though it were
their own and with flowers and
shrubs, fine grove and lots Of gras:
for 10 cows, 200 turkey poults, {
flock of sheep and bunch of ducks
their farm makes pretty picture
One of their ducks had just wandered
off the place, onto the road, and had
been run over by motorist. There
they found it when they came home
from fishing trip-without any fish
