Not only does this remarkable tub provide lifetime service, but it is specially built for the most effective washing action. • There is an important reason for its square shape. The cor ners of the tub break up the water action into hundreds of cross currents, penetrating every fibre of the clothes. • The thick, cast-aluminum tub and the handy, hinged lid keep the water hot for an entire washing.

Congressional News Letter (By Harold Knutson, I have before me an advance copy of a report of the Department of Commerce which will be publish ed soon, showing the importations of certain farm products for the month of February, also for the two months ending February 28, 1935. To those having information touching the destruction of cattle during the drought last year, it wil be shocking to learn that dur ing the month of January this year, 5828 head of beef cattle were imported. It will be still more shocking to learn that, in the month of February, 37,737 beef cat tle were imported. With one hand we destroy American cattle, with the other we beckon to foreign producers to bring their cattle here for American consumption. Anoth er shock to those of us- who be lieve that the American farmer should be permitted to raise tlhe food the American people eat is the information that during these two months, a total of 13,265,029 pounds of fresh and processed meats were imported for American consumption. This is at the rate of 79,590,174 pounds per year. The American dairy farmer dur ing the past few years has been leading a precarious existence be cause of having been compelled to sell his product at a price far be low the cost of production. No one questions his ability to supply the American people with every pound of dairy products they can possib ly consume. Different varieties of foreign-made cheeses can be, and are being successfully duplicated by the cheese makers of this coun try. 'There are no better dairy pro ducts anywhere in the world than those produced in Minnesota. In the light of these facts, it is diffi cult to understand a governmental policy which will permit the im portation of these products at the rate of 291,073,962 pounds per year. This is now being permitted, as is disclosed by this report of the De partment of Commerce. That the “negotiations looking to the further importation of butter,’’ carried on by the administration and mentioned in an earlier letter on this subject are succeeding is indicated by the fact that while there were only 44,529 pounds of ths product imported during the en tire month of March, 1934, there were imported from the Ist to the 29th of March this year, 6,082,352 pounds, or 136 times as much as were imported a year ago. Eggs in the shell are being im ported at the rate of 604,344 dozen per year, and dried and frozen eggs at a yearly rate of 4,557,102 pounds. An interesting bit of informa tion is noted in the schedule of importations under the heading of hides and skins. I shall refer only to those skins which can be pro- LOW COST TRAVEL Station-to-Station fares, 2 cents per mile, one way... 1.8 cents per mile, round trip. Dining car meals as , low as 50 cents. See local agent today. SAUK CENTRE HERALD, Sauk Centre, Minn. fitaJbly supplied by the producers of this country: Cattle skins for these two months were imported at the rate of 1,620,900 per year; calf skins, 1,994,712 per year; Sheep and lamb skins, 4,492,848 per year; kid and goat skins, 7,423,002 per year. In view of the deplorable condi tion American agriculture finds it self in; n view of the unpaid prin cipal and interest on farm mortga ges; in view of the unpaid taxes on American farms; in view of the in numerable repairs on farm build ings and fences sorely needed everywhere; in view of the dearth of necessities and comforts of life in the American farm homes, it is difficult to understand an adminis tration policy which deliberately encourages further importations of this character in competition with, and to the displacement of Amer ican farm products in this market As time goes on and the impor tation of farm products greatly in creases, as it will as a result of the embarkation of the Roosevelt Administration upon its program of reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries, our people will have an opportunity to learn the evil effects of a policy which deMberately surrenders to foregin producers the American market upon a mere hope that our ex ports may increase sufficiently to justify such surrender. As disclosed in one of my recent letters, the experiment up to this time has been anything but satis factory to either the American peo- ple or the Administration. I point ed out in that letter that the com parisons made by the Department of Commerce between the imports and exports of January 1935 as compared to January, 1934, showed that while our exports had increas ed 35,000,000 our imports had, dur ing the same period, increased $31,- 000,000. I think anyone will agree that a bargain, in which we are com pelled to pay at the rate of six for one is not a bargain that can pos sibly be satisfactory to the Ameri can producer. Warn Farmers Of Danger To The Division of Veterinary Med icine of the University of Minne sota has been receiving this spring reports of more than the usual 1 number of cases of digestive dis eases of young calves. One fac tor in relation to this condition, often lost sight or by owners of dairy herds, is the practice of sl owing a calf to nurse its dam without regard to the amount of milk consumed during the first two or three days following birth. This s not only not good practice, but it is absolutely dangerous, says Dr. C. P. Fitch, chief of the vet erinary division. Our modem dairy cow produces a very much greater quantity of milk than is needed by the calf. Our modem methods of animal breeding have removed some of the natural safeguards which na ture has built up to shield oru young bovlnes. Heretofore ■ the calf’s life was protected auto matically. It is now a far better and safer practce to take the calf away immediately, at the time of birth, and allow it to nurse only a very little, that is, for two or three minutes at a time, and preferably three to five times a day. In this way many fatal digestive disturb ances can be prevented. Once white scours has developed in a herd, careful hygiene and san itation with referrence to the separation of individual animals, and caiieful cleaning and disin fection, with especial attention to proper feefing, are the best meth ods of control. In' this disease, as in l many others, more care should be (given to prevention and less attention paid to treatment Will you tell me where I can get some equipment for manufactur ing syrup; also give me some ad vice on the proper boiling of tfyrupT Hardware wholesalers carry sap buckets and spouts. Your hard ware dealer can probably get them. I would suggest that you get a copy of Farmers’ Bulletin 516, “The Production of Maple Syrup and Sugar,” from the Divis ion of Publications, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Ready-made evaporating pans are not available. The best thing to do ie to have your local tinsmith make one for you. One square foot on the bottom will evaporate about 2 gallons per hour, so 10 square feet are needed for each hundred buckets of sap. Pans should be large, oblong and shallow, with 31/> to 4 Inches in depth, made from copper or gal vanized iron. They should be up on a framework so that a fire can be built underneath. Pans should slope slightly from one end, with the flow regulated so that by the time the sap reaches the lower end of the pan it is a finished syrup. The sap should never be more than 11/, inches deep in any part of the pan. Boiling should be very CHIROPRACTOR DR. A. A.

A thermometer at the finished-eyrup end will assist in determining whether or not the syrup is fin ished. Finished syrup should boil at 219 degrees Fahrenheit and should weigh 11 pounds to the gal lon when cool. The hot syrup should be strained as it comes from the evaporator, because it is not a sugar product, but material in the sap which crystal izes-out during the boiling.—R. A. Gortner, Division of Biochemistry. Outdoors Plans for the possible collection of 500,000 upland game bird eggs this spring with the work to be concentrated in 25 counties mostly in the southwestern part of Min nesota, were announced by the Dis ision of Game and Fish of the Min nesota State Department of Con servation. A small start in game bird rescue work last year proved so successful that an enlarged program will be undertaken this spring with a view of saving thous ands and thousands of future game birds from destruction during the alfalfa cutting season. The plan has the unanimous approval of members of the Minnesota Conser vation Commission. “Production of more game birds by the utilation of present condi tions is the object of this conserva tion measure,’* according to Erling Swenson, Division Director. It was pointed out by Director Swenson that "early hay cutting causes an appalling loss of game bird eggs and young game birds each spring.” Ten thousand cartons of 50 egg capacity each are to be distributed in the 25 counties where upland game birds are most abundant From collection points which in many instances will be local cream eries, the game bird eggs will be shipped to the state-owned game farm near Madelia where they will be incubated and the young chicks reared. Capacity of the game farm has been materially en larged for this purpose. “We realize that the success of this program is dependent upon the co-operation of the farmers in the counties involved,” Mr. Swenson stated. “We have every confidence that with 45,000 farm boys and farm girls actively engaged in a study of wild life conservation through state 4-H club activities that this co-operation will be ac corded the plans. Interested con servationists and sportsmen’s or ganizations are urged to get behind this program which is designed to aid Minnesota’s wild life resourc es. State Game Wardens have been instructed to contact farmers in their districts in the counties in volved who contemplate the cutting of alfalfa. Cartons will 'be provided to all farmers who desire to co-op erate.” In' the 25 counties Included in the program there were last year 299,- 076 acres planted to alfalfa, ac- To the Citizens Building of Sauk Centre Tradesmen The Federal Housing Administration has request- ALBERT BOHN ed the formation of an organization in this city to be Plasterer composed of building tradesmen, building supply men, house furnishing men, and local banks qualified to fin- LW.

Arrangements have been made by the Minnesota Conservation Com mision for the setting up of mach inery which will make it possible for the United States Bureau of Biological Survey, University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Department of Conservation to join together in conducting wild life research in the state. A sum of $6,500.00 will be fur nished annually by the Conserva tion Department to pay salaries, travel and other expenses of the technical assistants and laborers to be employed onder the direction of the technical scientific staff of the University of Minnesota. Collec tion and preparation of specimen and materials for scientific study is also provided for from this fund. Separate agreements will be en tered into for fish research work due to the fact that the biological survey has jurisdiction only over game animals and birds.
