FURTHER RECOGNITION VOTED PUBLIC SCHOOLS Washington, Jan. 6. (By Capital News Service.) —Changes which will result from elections held in Virginia, Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana and Utah on amendments to school laws, were given in brief form, recently, in this bulletin, and in this issue synopses of the-changes which have been vot- ed in California, Georgia, Nebraska, and Ohio are given as follows: California adopted by a vote of al- constitution providing for the financ- ing of elementary and secondary schools. It fixes the annual state con- tribution for elementary schools at $30 per pupil, which is an increase of approximately 50 per cent and makes it impossible to reduce this amount except by vote of the people; and fixes the annual state contribu- tion for high achool purposes at $3° per pupil, which is an increase of 100 per cent. It writes into the constitution thr provisions of the county high school fund bill, which has promoted the development of California’s high schools, and the provisions of the county elementary school tax law making tbeir repeal impossible ex- cept by vote of the people. It guar- antees that all the money raised by the state and 60 per cent of the FELLOWS BY GOLLY, TUAT'S RIGHT- | NEVER THANK THE GOOD WHO ADVERTNSE.

From 7 to 10 pounds of roots are required to take the place of one pound of grain.” FARM BUREAU HEADS HEAR DEPARTMENT PLANS (Continued from Page 1) hundred growers should be urged to grow certified seed during the com- ng year; \ = Potato tours held ‘in the past year were highly recommended and at least ‘en tours were recommended for the coming year, as they teach disease .dentification and give more informa- :ion than farmers’ institutes. Grading potatoes was considered a very important question. Motion was money raised by the county for school purposes shall be used for teaching. Georgia adopted constitutional am- endments which practically create a new educational constitution. The last constitutional convention in Georgia met in 1877. It was hostile to public education and it curtailed the taxing power, making it almost impossible to obtain local aid for edu- cation thru loeal taxafion. To rem- edy this situation two amendments to the constitution were s ratified by large majorities by the people on No- vember 2. The first amendment re- auires every county to levy a tax thruout its boundaries in addition to state aid recelved. The second re- moves restrictions against state ap- propriations for high schools. Nebraska's state superintendency is changed from a two to a four-year office, with a salary change from $2.000 to $5,000 per year by a con- stitutional amendment adopted by the people. Schools of Cleveland, Ohio, receiv- ed increased support by educational measures passed by overwhelming majorities. - Issue 'of school bonds tc the amount of $15,000,000 was au- therized “for the purpcse of purchag® ing cites for schoolhouses, to erect schoclhouses, and to furnish the same.” An additional school tax levy was voted, not to exceed three miils, for not more than five years. This will provide $6,000,000 or $7,- 000.090 n year for five years for the Cle nd rchools. A third measure provides that finterest and sinking fund levies on account of “out-stand- Ing bonds of the city school district of the city of Cleveland shall be ex- empt from all tax limitations. COWS TURN CHEAP GRAIN INTO PROFIT A greater profit may be made from feeding grain to dairy cows this winter than ever be- fore, on account of the law price of grain and the high price of butterfat.—A. J. McGuire, live- stock and dairy specialist with the agricultural extension divi- sion, University of Minnesota. Mr. McGuire has long been a stu- dent of feed reyuirements for the production of butterfat. He has found that the average common cow is capable of producing 200 pounds of butterfat g year. The average half- blood dairy cow can surpass the av- erage common cow by 50 pounds of butterfat a year while the average high grade and purebred cow is cap- able, if properly handled, of produc-~ ing 300 pounds og butterfat a year. “It requires a certain amount of feed to produce a pound of butter- fat,” says Mr. McGuire, “and the amount of feed required depends up- on the kind of feed and also upon the kind of cow. A ration composed of 15 pounds of clover or alfalfa hay, 80 pounds of corn silage, 5 pounds of ground oats.. and 3 pounds of ground corn, containg ‘sufficient feed for a cow weighing 1,000 pounds and producing a pound of butterfat a day, or 26 pounds of 4 per cent milk. The cost /of this ration at farm vrices may be estimated at between 20 and 26.cents. The whole ration can be farm, and it is a good ration for milk praduction. “Without clover or alfalfa hay in a ration, a greater amount of grain is required for the production of one pound of butterfat in a dav. A ra- tion composed of timothy or wild hay or corn stover wnuld reauire “aily 15| pounds of grain composed of 5 ounds of bran, 2 pounds of oilmeal, pounds of ground pounds of ground corn. The cost of this ration would be one-fifth higher on account of the greater amount of grain ‘used ‘and the more expensive oats and 3| seconded and carried that a resolution oe sent to Mr. Holmberg of the state lepartment of agriculture urging the grading of all potatoes in Minnesota. .he county agent suggested a better way of marketing certified seed po- .atoes through local warehouses. At oresent the farm bureau is sending out a-list of certified seed potato zrowers to parties inquiring for such stock. Securing a potato specialist for the county was discussed and the, Seed Potato Growers’ association will co-operate with the farm bureau in securing such a man. The goal set for potato work the roming year was: Ten seed treating iemonstrations, ten potato tours, 500 growers growing certified potatoes, a notato warehouse in every shipping point in the county and every potato association affiliated with the state potato exchange. Mr. Gustafson, representing the wool growers, suggested the holding >f the annual meeting on the same lay that the potato growers hold ‘heirs, Tuesday, Feb. 1. County Agent Dvoracek reported the con- versation with Geo. McKerrow, repre- senting the Minnesota Wool Growers, advising the holdinfi of the wool for _hree or four months longer as wool s practically at the bottom now. Mr. Sustafson urged wool growers to hold ‘heir sheep and wool until spring. He pointed out that this is the best time to hold sheep gnd is the best time to go into sheep raising. H. A. Pflughoeft reported that the County Fair association has decided to buy twelve pigs to be distributed in different parts of the county. He asked for suggestions as to Lreed.

It was left with T. Porte and the County Agent Dvora- cel: to be taken up with the farmers’ clubs for decision. Dairy calf clubs were recommended, boys and irls to get purebred or high grade heifers, details to be worked out later with cuhaps the co-operation of local anks. Farmers’ clubs were represented by Thos. Porte. Clubs were considered the instrument through which the farm buresu could do its work, Clubs should be organized where townships are sufficiently | well settled. Mr. Po;te promisesto spend considerable time in the spring when, the roads are passable in giving assistafce to communities who.wish to, organize Clubs; ' Tt ‘was suggeéstéd: that ers’ clubs be made units within the farm bureau. . Geo. Rhea represented the commer- cial interests. He expressed his ap- preciation of being on the farm bu- reau board. He assured the farm bu- reau board of the hearty co-opera- tion of the business men of Bemidji in the future. W, T. Blakeley representing land clearing department of Turtle River, stated that the turpentine factory of- fered the best opportunity for land clearing in sections where Norway stumps are found. The purchase of dynamite by produce associations with the farm bureau and by commu- nities was especially urged. Com- munity land clearing, while it offers some solution, is difficult because of lack of co-operation among farmers. " Representatives of other interests not being present, a program of work for their department was postponed until_the next meeting. The question of holding farmers’ institutes in'the county came up for discussion. The county agent stated that he had made application for a week of institutes. The feasibility of holding day institutes with farm- ers’ clubs in the county was discuss- ed. ' The plan was highly recongmend,- ed but the difficulty of reaching all communities was pointed out. It was decided that as many institutes as possible be held, not only in the vari- ous centers but also with the farm. ers’ clubs. Any farmers’ clubs de- siring a day institute should make ap- plication to the county agent imme- diately. fna Mrs. Ed. Larson, representing the home development, stated that the vital problem was that of providing suitable recreation for the young folks, Methods of providing such en- tertainments were discussed and the purchase of a stereopticon and the securing of suitable slides was recom- mended. The purchase of a portable moving picture machine was dis- cussed. It was decided that the pur- THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN ~ DINE FOR A DAY FOR A DOLLAR CORNED BEEF AND CORNED BEEF HASH The average family and its neighhors, everywhere; are com- bating the high cost of providing three square mealg a day by buying War Department Canned Corned Beef and Corn- ed Beef Hash, at these greatly reduced prices.

Heretofore, Minnesota boy and girl ‘judges have been selected only a few days before they were to appear in ‘the big Chicago competition.

Georgia’s team, which won frst place at the recent Iaternation- a;, ‘was chosen as far back as August ahd had spent months .in’ judging farm animals befofe it was called into action at (hicago. Similarly. other teams which. ranked higher in the competition than Minnesota had bad months for training where Minnesota nad had only days.
