Show Was Success.
The men’s minstrel given by the
business men for the benefit of the
band Friday evening in the high
school auditorium was well patronized
and every one present well pleased
with the‘form of entertainment. The
end men’s jokes were good and the
solos well received. Some hitherto
undiscovered talent was brought forth
which may prove additional help to
Deer River’s musical circles. Between
acts Robert Gilbert of Grand Rapids
contributed much to the pleasure, of
the audience with a few light musical
numbers. J. J. Cason brought down
from Bemidji some of the musicians
belonging to the Bemidji band to help
out the orchestra as many of the
original orchestra were participants
in the minstrel. Among these, was a
bazoon player whose solo part made
quite a hit with the crowd. Little
Orville Douglas proved his ability as
a dancer and saxaphone player com
bining the two in a most charming
manner in the number “I Miss My
Swiss.” The grand finale “After the
Dav in the Cotton Field is Over” was
a delightful ending. The coons gather
ed around the camp fire and sang in
a most pleasing manner the old
darkv songs /‘Massa’s in the Cold
Cold Ground”, “Old Folks at Home ,
etc. ending with the American flag
waving over the scene and the audi
ence joining in “The Star Spangled
Banner.” The band is very grateful

There are quite a number of bulle
tins available for free distribution
from the county agents office, if un
able to call, write for them. Some of
the most important of the recent is
sues are: Farmers Institute Annual
No. 38 on poultry; Celery Blanching
No. 222; also a bulletin on New Chick
Feeding facts, issued by the Agricul
tural Experiment station, University
of Wisconsin, Madison. Secure this
bulletin as it has the most simple and
best methods on chick feeding, and
has had a successful trial in Minne
sota.
Best to Select the
Breeding Stock Early
Early winter is none too early for
poultry keepers to make plans for the
1926 breeding stock, says Cora Cooke,
poultry specialist with the depart
ment of agriculture, University of
Minnesota. A Wisconsin authority has
said that the selection of breeders
should begin as soon as the chicks are
hatched.
Miss Cooke says the following re
quirements should be kept in mind
when breeders are being selected: 1,
of a pure breed; 2, high vitality; 3,
high producing ability as shown by
records or examination; 4, right size
and type; 5, conforming as nearly as.
possible to the proper breed and va
riety characteristics.
“Further information, such as may
be obtained by trap nesting and pedi
gree, is very valuable,” says the spe
cialist. “Absolute knowledge as to
how many eggs a hen has laid in her
pullet year, how many times she has
been broody ,and what kind of eggs
she lays is a distinct help in selection.
But when trap nestihg is not practice
able, ordinary examination will
achieve results though in a somewhat
smaller degree.
“After selecting the breders it is
important to keep them in the best
physical condition for breeding. This
calls for comfortable quarters with
plenty of room, fresh air, and sun
shine. The birds should have an
ordinary laying ration which will keep
them in good flesh without their get
ting too fat.”
The delinquents are trying hard to
bring up their standings above the re
quired 75 per cent. The slogan might
be 85 or more study.
Current Events forms the theme for
oral composition in Junior high Eng
lish classes this week. The Pathfinder
with Current Events furnish practi
cally all the news needed.
The first grade pupils are working
out a health play.* It is called “Mother
Goose’s Health Children.”
The third and fourth grades are be
ginning work on their clothing chart
for their industrial project.
The lower grades are very much en
thused over their new spellers “Es
sentials of Spelling,” 100 per cent seems
to be the common grade given.
The fifth grade’s nature club studied
Minnesota pines for their last lesson.
On Monday the following officers were
elected: Harry Jones, president; Geor
gia Gould, vice president; Eland Wer
ner, secretary.
Summer need not be so far away,
when the paint brush can introduce
parrots and daffodils and other summer
visitors as part of the room decora
tions. For confirmation see the fifth
grade room.
Orval Heddinger has transferred his
school attendance to Grand Rapids.
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and
other local happenings in Italy seem to
add interest to the study of geography
in the sixth grade.
The Junior high boys met the Flood
wood boys in two fast games of bas
ketball last Friday evening. Both Co
hasset and Floodwood played their
best and both teams were heartily
cheered by the spectators. Cohasset
lost to Floodwood in the preliminary
game, but Cohasset pulled out a vic
tory in the eecond by dint of hard
playing. The score was 19 to li.
Farm Bureau News
School Notes.
January 27, 1926
Farm Spark Plugs.
Good breeding stock is the founda
tion of success with poultry. Intelli
gent culling of flocks has resulted in
greatly increased profits.
Patience and perseverance usually
pay good dividends in the poultry’
business.
Use of alfalfa, soybean, or clover
hay will greatly decrease the cost of
the grain mixture for dairy cows.
The dairy cow should have all the
roughage she will eat. Silage, or
other succulents, is desirable in all
rations.
Seed Grain Sown in
1926 Needs Treating
Every farmer should treat his seed
grain in 1926 in order to prevent
smut, says Dr. E. C. Stakman, a plant
disease authority of the University of
Minnesota. Besides smut in oats, of
which there is always a great deal, Dr.
Stakman finds there was an unusually
large amount of stinking smut of
wheat in 1925. In one country eleva
tor 75 per cent of the wheat which
was brought in was badly smutted.
Methods of treating seed wheat dif
fer from those of treating oats and
barley. Folder No. 13, entitled
“Theatments for Seed Grain,” ex
plains the use of copper carbonate
dust and formaldehyde and can be ob
tained without cost on application to
the Agricultural Extension Service,
University farm, St. Paul. Informa
tion as to the spraying plan for treat
ing oats and barley can be obtained
by writing the Plant Disease depart
ment, University farm, St. Paul.
Getting Early Start
Augurs for Success
“Begin early” is the advice of Cora
Cocke, poultry specialist at University
farm, to those planning to engage in
poultry raising this year. Breeding
stock and chicks should be ordered
early—the earlier the better. “Many
flock owners have poor male birds be
cause they neglected to select them
early enough,” says Miss Cooke. “The
same thing applies to chicks; if the
orders are late the chicks will be
hatched late because the hatchery
operator usually places the eggs in the
machines after the orders are re
ceived. Moreover, the demand for
chicks is increasing to such ex
tent that only those orderng well
in advance of the season can feel
certain of having the birds at the de
sired time.”
Don’t Guess About Seed Corn.
Seed com for 1926 planting offers
an interesting contrast to that for last
year, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. From the stand
point of maturing corn, the summer
of 1924 was one of the poorest in
many years. As a consequence there
was every indication that there would
not be enough seed com to go around
in the spring of 1925. An active
campaign by the agricultural experi
ment stations and the Federal Depart
partment of Agriculture, aided by
realization of the very evident dan
ger, resulted in more seed com being
field selected and dried than ever be
fore. Finally, unusually favorable
weather during September and Octo
ber permitted much com to dry’ in the
field without being damaged for seed
purposes. Therefore an abundance
for good seed corn wa^ available for
planting in 1925.
In contrast, the summer of 1925 was
unusually favorable for the rapid de
velopment of com. The crop went
into September in excellent condition
and the prospects for seed com were
the best. Field selection of seed corn
was put off in many cases because ol
these facts and early freezes occurred
before many farmers had selected
their seed. These conditions have
contributed to a prospective seed com

Conditiones similar to those in lowa

Farmers who did not have their
