DEVELOPMENT TOUR
WAS BIG SUCCESS
The Red River Valley in Minnesota
With its Wonderful Crops was
Seen at Its Best
The joint summer tour of the Min
nesota Red River Valley Development
association, professors from the agri
cultural college of the state universi
ty, and editors of farm papers, came
off as scheduled last week and proved
to be an event long to be remembered
by all who participated. Never has
the valley with its magnificent and
varied crops appeared to better ad
vantage than right now.
Moorhead was the starting point of
the tour and in that city the touring
party assembled, the university men
and farm paper editors, who had in
spected the experiment station at Mor
^rls coming from the south and mem
bers of the Development "association
from all part*, of the valley. R. C.
Mathwig, of Warren, who is the pres
ident of the Red River Valley De
velopment association, had as pas
sengers in his car Chas, Wittensten,
mayor of Warren President C. E.
Sjostrand of North Star College, and
John P. Mattson, editor of the Sheaf
At Crookstou President C. G. Selvig
of the Northwest School of Agricul
ture, Secretary C. H. Zealand of the
Development Association and many
citizens in cars joined to make the
trip to Moorhead in the afternoon of
I July 19. After a delightful ride on
a Babcock road, gravelled most of the
way, we pull mto Ada, where a mo
ment's stop was made just to let the
citizens of the town size up the kind
of a hungry crowd they were to en
tertain at dinner next day From Ada
we proceeded to Glyndon and from
Glyndon a ten mile ride on what is
perhaps the most travelled auto road
in the state brought us to Moorhead.
There was a get-together breakfast
at the Comstock Hotel on the morning
of the 2t0h Leslie Welter, one of
Jfoorhead's substantial business men
and an officer of the Development as
sociation, presided and extended the
welcome to the visitors. Dean W. C.
Coffey of the College of Agriculture
responded fittingly, then another
speech or two and the party boarded
their automobiles for the tour to Ada,
passing thru the thriving villages of
Kragnes. Georgetown, Perley and Hen
lrum About twenty cars made np
pa-ooos-^ign. Thn h**&*i?xiem po
tato district and big fields of spuds,
quarter sections and even whole sec
*tions in a field, may be seen, and all
the town's have one or moie potato
warehouse^ Splendid crops of 'wheat,
rye, barley, oats, clover and sweet
clover are also seen. Never before
have we realized what a valuable crop
sweet clover has. become in the valley
and how well it fits into the new
scheme of farming in the valley, the
method of crop rotation. It makes
splendid pasturage and hay. furnishes
nitrogen to the soil and chokes out
the weeds The honeyed odor of the
fragrant sweet clover fields filled our
nostrils all the way from Moorhead
to Crookston.
We pulled into Ada at noon and
were escorted to the magnificent new
school building where a luncheon fit
for kings and milionaires was given
by the Commercial Club and served
by the good ladies of the town. Al
though we have lived nearly forty
-years in the valley we have never be
fore had the privilege to stop there
and see the town except from a rail
road train. Its pioneers are a sturdy
lot, very much like those of Warren,
and the have gone through similar
experiences in building up their com
munity Warren and Ada have al
ways been good sister towns and felt
akin to each other A little speaking
followed the feast, Hon. O. A. Smith,
commissioner of emigration, making
the principal talk Retracing our way
to the Halstad line we proceed to
Crookston passing thru Halstad, Shel
ly. Nielsville. Climax and Eldred.
Many potatoes are raised ""along this
line and the towns look prosperous.
We were impressed by the fact that

Arriving at Crookston about four in
the afternoon, we proceed to the

spend the remainder of the day in

MARSHALL COUNTY GAINS
IN BUTTER PRODUCTION
Comparative Statistics Show Gain in

A statement made by Chris Heen,
state commissioner of the dairy and
food department, show the progress
made by the dairymen of Marshall
county during the year 1921 com
parison with 1920. particularly with
reference to creamery butter manufac

The comparative statistics for the
two years, are as follows:

The butter production in Minnesota
in 1920 was 139.229^843 pounds and in
1921 was 169.574.872 pounds, showing
a gain of 22 79 per cent in the state.
The gain for Marshall countv for the
corresponding period was 34 49 per

While the total amount paid pa
trons as well as other totals in the
cash account, shows considerable of a
change in 1921 as compared with
1920 which change may not "appear
to be particularly in favor of the pa

the cost of practically all items that

Most of her scalp was torn off in an

Miss Head had been washing her

A dastardly and malicious attack

young men, Charles Hamblon and a
young son of Frank Heller entered
the office of Mr. Mathwig in the

in a tilted chair behind his desk. Ham

demanded $200 coupled with the
threat that if he did not pay him the
$200 immediately he would kill him
and throw his body out of the win

from Mr. Mathwig's forehead and pro

the head and face with his fists most
unmercifully and threw him down and

Reductions of more than $1,300,000
in road tax levies by counties and
townships -in Minnesota followed the
first year after adoption of the Bab
cock plan for state improvement and
upkeep of 7.000 miles of mam roads
which always had taken a large part
of local road and bridge funds, ac
cording to the state highway depart
ment bulletin today.
Official figures from the state audi
tor's abstract show that last year for
the first time in state annals the
county road and bridge levies dropped
to $10,022,488 from $10,843,682 and
those of the townships to $6,139.6*3
from $6.862,560a total decrease of

cal roads and bridges are $19,811,2
however, and the heavy traffic roads
always the most costly to nuild and
maintain, are taken over by the state.
Current revenues in the trunk high
way fund this year probably will ap
proximate $7,500,Q00, the bulletin con
tinues. This is about $500,000 more
than last year but still far below the
$10,000,000 ^annual average expected,
and due in part to a 50 per cent cut
in federal aid which cost the trunk
fund nearly $3,000,000 this year and
last Motor vehicle tax revenues for
1922 have passed the $6,000,000 mark,,
compared with the 1921 total of $5,-
616.000. Rates are unchanged but a
larger number of cars are registered.
The bulletin adds:
"Larger automobiles, receipts are
more than offset for car owners in
better roads savings on car upkeep,
tires and gasoline. Even in large
cities which cannot share in trunk
highway funds, automobile and truck
owners express willingness to pay
higher licenses to speed the highway
program and increase savings."
In spite of the increases in road
funds up to this year and the repu
tation of the state for good roads, it
is reported, Minnesota is being topped
in highway expenditures by many
states which have sold large issues of
road bonds.

NATION'S METROPOLIS
Miss Sarah T. O'Meara writes an In
teresting Letter from New York
City to Sheaf Readers
Leaving Buffalo at night did not
give one much chance to see the coun
try to the eastward for a few hours,
but the city itself was a most beau
tiful one. It's residences are spacious
mansions. It's streets and boulevards
wide. Its schools and churches models
in structural art. Every spare foot
of ground has been converted into a
park. Traffic lines to the left and
right are separated by longitudinal
well kept strips green and shrub
bery. One has no idea of the rest
ful effect of these little parkways on
the traveler. There is an element of
safety in them as well. Here in New
York, they are common on Broadwaj,
Fifth Avenue and like thorofares. One
of these gives up to the subway sta
tion at regular intervals.
It was not hard to verify the state
ment often heard that New York state
is famous for its dairy products and
it vast herds of Holstem-Fesians.
Pastures are fenced off by stone fences
destined to last to the end of tune so
far as durability is concerned.
Everyone acknowledges the fact
that the Hudson Valley is geologically
one of the oldest If it ever had a
top dressing of lime rock or even of
soil in some places, it is hard to be
lieve it for everywhere the huge gran
ite or other rock of the same forma
tion juts out bare and bald. I have
interested in a problem of
bee
cavation being worked out between
Whittier Hall and Teachers' College
on 120 St. W. So great is the co
herence of mass that electrie drills
may work for hours to *go down a
foot or perhaps three feet The*.*1
bores must be made every foot or two
apart and filled with explosives and
touched off. Even thenf a compara
tively small amount of broken rock
is the result I wish the Warren
boys and girls could see the work be
ing done for thi* new building. It
is wonderful what good team work
can accomplish whether on the foot
ball field, in the school or in exca
vating for a building
The often mentioned "Palisades of
the Hudson" cannot be described
words. One must see them. The
normal and rural sections of teaehers'
college held a picnic Friday night at
this park. It was a most enjoyable
event and was attended by vast mem
bers from nearly every state in the
Union, Canada, Panama, China and
other foreign countries. Misses Ma
bel Carney, formerly of Minnesota
and Dunn, were in charge, both be
ing instructors in T. C.
Columbians this year are over 1300
strong. Does it seem possible? I
doubt if there is a state without rep
resentation. The work is wonderful,
hence the attraction. Minnesota stu
dents to the number of seventy-five
gathered last Wednesday .and elected
officers for the year. Supt. Pike of

Wmber 28th, 1821, and the Court
on July 25th, 1922, having refused to
hear any further evidence in this ditch
matter, at this time after due con

and files, makes and files findings of
tact and order as follows:
That this ditch proceedings is a
Consolidated Judicial Ditch Proceed
ing* and consists of a Consolidation
of Judicial Ditches Numbers 102 and

2. That the engineer has filed his
report in this ditch matter and the
viewers have filed this report in this
ditc matter.
3. That in view of the present fin
ancial stringency and the fact that a
large portion of the territory embraced
in this drainage project is sparsely
settled and situate far from a rail
road, and in view of the alreadv heavy
taxation of all that portion of "the ter
ritory mentioned in the engineer's and
viewers' reports which lies south of
a straight line drawn east and west
which would intersect the section line
between sections 5 and 8 in the town
ship of Whiteford, Marshall County,
Minnesota, the market value of the
lands included therein win not be in
creased in the sum found by the view
ers as benefits in their report by the
construction of this ditch, or any por
tion thereof, and the Court finds aa
a matter of fact from the evidence
and files in this proceeding that as
to that portion of thus ditch proceed
ing proposed by the engineer which
lies south of said line herein mention
ed, the cost of the construction there
of, including the damage^ awarded, is
greater than the benefits to be derived
therefrom.
4. It is therefore ordereo and ad
judged that all that portion of the
territory involved this ditch pro
ceeding which lies south of the line
mentioned in paragraph 3 hereof be
dismisssed from these proceedings, and
that such dismissal be final and com
plete and it is the intention of this
order that the same be a final ad
judication as to the territory mention
ed in paragraph 3 hereof.
5. It is further ordered and ad
judged that Judicial Ditch No. 102
be dismissed and at an end.
6. It has been suggested that the
Court refer back to an engineer and
viewers that portion of the proposed
ditch mentioned in paragraph 3 here
of for a modified or different plan of
draining said territory. This the
Court denies for the reason that the
Court finds that under existing condi
tions no proper drainage of this terri
tory can be had without a sufficient
outlet and it is the cost of the con
struction of such outlet that would, at
this time, place too heavy a burden upon
the lands involved, without assistance

from the State.
7. That as* to the territory lying
