St. Paul, March 16.More than 400 delegates representing co-operative creameries in every part of Minnesota met in St. Paul last week in the first annual meeting of the Minnesota Co operative Creameries association, Inc. They met to review the work of the association as a service and market ing agency for the creameries during the last year, to approve or change its policies, and to select directors. The entire board of directors was re-elect ed. E. 0. Melsness of Erskine was made second vice president, succeed ing Frank Farley of Spring Grove IVIr. Farley is still a meiriber of the "board. Henry Arens of Jordan was elected to the board as representative of district 9, covering Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Washington, Sherburne, Anoka, Ramsey and Scott counties H. B. Nickerson of Elk River, who represented this district on the board last year, was re-elected a director to represent district 16. This is anew district created by the delegates at the annual meeting last week, to give the Twin City Milk Producers cream eries representation in the state body. There were some stirring moments in the convention, when speakers charged that Chris Hecn, state dairy and food commissioner, has hampered the progress of the co-operative creameries association. Following several vigorous verbal attacks on Mr. Heen, the delegates unanimously passed the following resolution: "Resolved, that in view of the facts disclosed at this meeting, viz., that the state dairy and food commissioner, Chris Heen, and his associates are using their official connection to hin der and hamper the progress of co operative marketing for the farmers of the state of Minnesota, we express our condemnation of the action of Mr. Heen and his associates and urge that the governor investigate these charg es, and if found as stated above, we "urge that the governor appoint a man as state dairy and food commissioner "who can and will work in harmony with the other departments of state and in the best interests of co-opera tive marketing." Other resolutions passed urge Min nesota's congressmen to use "every honorable means to obtain passage of a bill now pending to prohibit man ufacture and sale of filled milk, and to work for an adequate protective tariff on dairy products. The meet ing expressed appreciation to butter makers who have supported the new state service and marketing agency, and thanked the Minnesota Farm Bu reau federation "for the wholehearted support it has extended to this or ganization." Mr. Nickerson, in his annual report as president, declared that the Minne sota Co-operative Creameries associa tion's members among the co-operative creameries of the state produce more than 60,000,000 pounds of butter an nually. E. B. Heaton, director of the American Farm Bureau federation's dairy marketing department, urged the creameries to act immediately to put their own sales representatives on the large eastern markets, to get the best prices for Minnesota butter and to make it recognized nationally as the best product on the market. Care of Wool. Before long farmers will be think ing of shearing their flocks of sheep. Although many sheep raisers know liow to properly handle and care for a fleece, it is a common error on the part of farmers to ship dirty, chaffy and otherwise spoiled fleeces, to mar ket with good fleeces that are clean, dry and bright. 'If the sheep raiser expects to receive the maximum re turns possible for his wool he should use every effort in his power to put this wool on the market in the best possible shape. The market discriminates seriously against wool that is clipped wet or damp, against fleeces that contain any quantity of chaff, hay, straw, weeds, burs and other matter. Fleoces of such a character are usually classed as "rejects" and are worth compara tively little on the market. By using a little extra care and thought at the time the sheep are sheared to separate the sheep that contain dirty and wet skirts and fleeces that are filled with foreign matter from those sheep which have clean and bright fleeces the wool can be put on the market in such shape as to enable the farmer to receive a good price for his better grade of wool and a price for his rejected fleeces in com parison to their value. Sheep should be kept in clean, dry barn or shelter for a sufficient length of time before shearing so that they will have a dry fleece at time of shearing. This is very important from the standpoint of the quality of the wool that is sheared. Every effort should be made to produce the clear est and highest quality fleeces possi ble. By so doing many sheep raisers will add considerable value to their spring clip. Chas. C. Hickman, Sherburne County Agent. ^m^^m^ij^ Men make them fires on the hearth''" Each under his roof-tree. And the Four Winds that rule the earth 'They blow the smoke to me. r- Across the high hills and the sea And all the changeful skies, The Four Winds blow the smoke to me Till the tears are in my eyes. Until the tears are in my eyes And my heart is well-nigh broke For thinking of old memories That gather in the smoke. With every shift of every wind The homesick memories come. From every quarter of mankind Where I have made me a home. Four times a fire against the cold And a roof against the rain Sorrow fourfold and joy fourfold The four winds bring again! How can I answer which is best Of all the Ares that burn? I have been too often host or guest At every fire in turn. How can I turn from any fire. On any man's hearthstone? I know the wonder and desire That went to build my own! How can I doubt man's joy or woe Where'er his house-fires shine, Since all that man must undergo Will visit me at mine? Oh, you Four Winds that blow so strong And know that this is true, Stoop for a little and carry my song To all the men I knew! Where there are the fires against the cold, Or roofs against the rain With love fourfold and joy fourfold, Take them my songs again! Rudyard Kipling. Compulsory Religion. A bill to make attendance at church compulsory met a deserved fate in Boston at the hands of the legislative committee on legal affairs. When the bill was called for hearing its propon ent was absent because of illness, and no one else was found to'say a word in its favor, and so it fell through. Such a measure can be regarded only in the light of a blow aimed straight at the heart of personal liberty. It is, of course, eminently desirable in a Christian country that every one should go to church on Sunday, but to be forced to do so by the civil law is repugnant to the instincts of all Americans and is certainly alien to the spirit of the constitution. The separation of church and state was one of the wisest things decreed by the fathers and, if the truth were known, was one of the causes why the young republic grew rapidly so great. To propose their union at this late day is a return to medievalism, and thein American people will have none of it. Washington Post. Clearing Land With Explosives.
