the importance of the matter.

Berlin.—With the bill creating a
government oil monopoly coming up
in the reichstag, the Standard Oil
company's press bureau here is work
ing overtime. The Standard evident
ly hopes for little diplomatic opposi
tion from Washington to the German
tttempt to end its operations in the
fatherland, and has centered all its
efforts on a publicity campaign. The
company contends in newspapers that
Germany cannot get along without the
Standard, and that no government
ccntrolled monopoly can sell petrol
jum as cheaply as the Standard can.
Prospects for defeating the measure
dre considered very poor.
Kaiser Wilhelm is to get a new
yacht to replace the 19-year-old
Hohenzollern, and the reichstag will
be asked to grant an appropriation of
11,500,000 to furnish the most modern

by any ruler. In the new naval esti
mate for 1913 Admiral von Tirpitz,
the naval secretary, declared that he
was unable much longer to be respon
sible for the seaworthiness of the
Hohenzollern, which goes so slowly
that It was not able to keep up with
the fleet during the maneuvers. The
new yacht will have a turbine engine
and may he used as a scout vessel in
the event of war.

MINN. AGRICULTURAL DEVELOP.
MENT CONGRESS TO BE
NEW NAME.
APPROPRIATION ASKED.
Governor Eberhart and Maude
lington Booth Close Ses
sions Saturday
Bal*
Night. i,
Minneapolis.—The Minnesota con
servation and agricultural congress
baa become a permanent organization.
The word "Conservation" has been
dropped from its name, however.
It was unanimously decided at Sat
urday morning's session that another
meeting should be held next year and
annually thereafter. The name of the
organization will be the Minnesota Ag
ricultural Development congress.
A resolution was passed asking the
legislature to pass a law authorizing
the governor to appoint a Minnesota
agricultural development commission.
The legislature will be asked to ap
propriate enough money to take care
pf the permanent organization. It
was also decided to have the perma
nent chairman of the congress draft
the bill.
Time Debated.
There was some debate regarding
the time for the next meeting. Some
wanted it to take place the first week
In December of next year and others
wanted it the first week in January,
1914. The matter was finally left to
the executive board for decision.
Dan A. Wallace, of St. Paul, advo
cated a state agricultural department
to take up the work now being done
by a large number of boards, in an
address delivered at the conservation
congress Saturday morning.
"In studying the work which other
states are doing for agriculture, it
Beems to me that it would be an emi
nently practical idea for us to have
in the state of Minnesota a depart
ment or commission of agriculture, in
stead of having a confusion of boards
and commissions for the administra
tion of agricultural affairs of the
Btate," he said. "Why should we not
pupplant this idea with a systematized
organization of bureaus grouped undei
a state department of agriculture."
State Agricultural Society Scored.
Mr. Wallace attacked the work oi
the Minnesota Agricultural society
He said:
"The annual meeting of the Min
nesota Agricultural society is reallj
but a political convention in miniature,
the effective result of the educational
Eeatures of the program being practi
cally nullified. This is great misfor
tune, for there is really serious need
of at least one great conference each
year where agriculture is the chief
and only theme for discussion. The
situation has become so acute in the
affairs of the Minnesota Agricultural
society that it is quite possible that
the educational features of the annual
meeting will be entirely divorced from
the ordinary business session, the affil
iated organizations preferring to hold
their meetings in different parts of
the state where they can be free from
the atmosphere of politics which is
always present at the St. Paul and
Minneapolis meetings. Under a state
department of agriculture the state
and county fairs are merely one feat
are of the work of the department.
Constructive Legislation Wanted.
"If you would inquire what is wrong
with the present administrative func
tions of the state in relation to agri
culture, it seems to me that the gen
eral statement would hold true that
there is at the present time a lack of
sufficient constructive legislation for
the protection of agricultural inter
ests," continued Mr. Wallace. "There
(s likewise a lack of direct responsi
bility on the part of the various state
bureaus and commissions, there is a
lack of intelligent information as to
our soil, and a woeful lack of statis
tical information. There is a dupli
cation of work, there is the harmful
effect of a political atmosphere, which
leads to constant scandal, and worst
of all a serious lack of business effi
ciency. Though I do not know that
a state department of agriculture
would straighten out all of these diffi
culties, however, our present method
suggests confusion, whereas a plan of
state department of agriculture pro
vides orderly organizations."
H. R. Smith, professor of animal
husbandry at the agricultural college,
spoke on "Dairying and Live Stock as
a Means of Developing the North
west," at the morning session of the
congress.
"There has never been a time in
the history of the United States when
there has been a greater need for the
development of the live stock industry
than now, and there is no section of
the country where the need is more
urgent than in the Northwest," said
Professor Smith.
"Prices are high on animal products
because there is a scarcity of live
stock," he said. "How could we ex.
pect anything but high prices on beef
in view of the fact that there are
eight per cent less -beef cattle in total
and 21 per cent less beef steers in the
,country today than 10 years ago,
whereas there are 21 per cent mow
people to feed."
Professor Smith said that the farm
ers of Minnesota and other western
states had neglected the raising ot
live stock for the raising of wheat. He
pleaded for a return to the live stock
Industry and showed what could be
gained by such a course. He showed
how Important the raising of live
stock was to the fertility of the soil.
Governor Norris of Montana, who
was to have appeared on the program
Saturday, spoke Friday night instead.
Besides Governor Norris, who spoke
on the subject of "The Great North
west," Miss Margaret Evans, dean of
women at Carleton college, spoke on
"Child Conservation," and Mrs. E. H.
Loyhed, president Minnesota Federa
tion of Woman's clubs, discussed the
work that the club women are doing
In Minnesota. H. Longstreet Taylor
ended the evening session with a dis
cussion o£ what, should be .and .what
can be done In the fight against tuber
"The most effective way to prevent
American emigration to Canada is to
adopt a more liberal policy towards
settlers upon their public lands," said
Governor Norris of Montana in his ad
dress at the Conservation congress
last night.
"With its many and superior ad
vantages the Northwest should speed
ily become thickly populated and fully
developed but the public land policy
ot the government must be changed.
Maude Ballington Booth, noted pris
on worker, spoke on "The Discharged
Prisoner—An Asset." Governor Eb
erhart was also on the program for
one of the closing addresses. The
registration was 4,631 persons.

SHREDDER VICTIM
Left Hand Crushed to Wrist and
Skin Stripped Off. Accident
Occurred Nov. 23.
Litchfield Saturday Review: Eli E.
Nelson, resident on what is best
known as the Hershey farm near
Lake Minnebelle, was the victim of
the deadly corn shredder Saturday
evening of last week.
The accident took place on the
farm of his brother, S. W. Nelson,
east of Minnebelle. The left hand
was caught in the rolls of the shred
der and badly crushed to the wrist.
The skin was caught and stripped oil
the larger part of the hand. The
muscles of the hand were so badly
crushed that circulation of the blood
in the injured member interfered
with, and while efforts were made to
save the hand they proved unsuccess
ful on that account. This is the sec
ond hand that .has been sacrificed to
the corn shredder in this county
within the past two weeks, the other
haying been that of Henry Danielson
of Cedar Mills. Eli E. Nelson is a
son of N. R. Nelson, prominent and
well known Greenleaf farmer. The
amputation of the hand was made
Wednesday.
Eli E. Nelson, who had his hand
so badly crushed in a corn shredder
accident Saturday, last, that it was
necessary to amputate the member,

fears were entertained for a time for
his recovery. The heart was refusing
to do its work normally. He wis
very sick Wednesday, but rallied
Thursday.
Prof, and Mrs. C. A. Peterson- and
baby returned Saturday from Ben
son, where they spent Thanksgiving
