TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1931 GRAIN PROBLEMS THRESHED OUT AT WILTON MEETING Factors of Importance in Grow- Ing and Marketing of Grain Outlined by Experts Problems of grain-growing and mar- keting in this territory were consider- ed by 25 managers of independent, old- line and cooperative elevators at a meeting Monday at Wilton. The subjects considered by the managers included varieties of grains recommended for this section to com- mand the highest market prices; what mixtures in grains cost the producers and the buyers, and means of elim- inating such mixtures; how grain is graded at the terminal markets; a study of grading and separation of grades; losses due to wheat smut and methods of control; necessity of building up supplies of clean seed; and the responsibility of elevator men in connection with crop improvements. The managers assembling in one of a series of 26 similar meetings being conducted in western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota, met in a special railway coach furnished by the North- ern Pacific railway and equipped as a laboratory on wheels with table and chairs, motion picture machine, an ples of recommended varieties, and grain grading apparatus. Talks were given and demonstra- tions conducted by H. R. Sumner of the Northwest Crop Improvement as- sociation, Minneapolis; W. P. Car- roll, Chicago and W. A. Pahl, Duluth, of the United States department of agriculture; H. O. Putnam and L. A. Norling, agricultural agents for Bur- leigh and McLean counties, respec- tively; A. R. Miesen, St. Paul, agricul- tural development agent for the Northern Pacific railroad, and E. G. Booth, extension agronomist at the state agricultural college, Fargo. Sumner struck the keynote of the conference in his statement that mix- ed wheat is the greatest loss to the wheat farmer and grain handler in this territory. “Mixed wheat or mixed durum can- not be used by the mills in manu- facturing flour or semolina and is penalized or discounted from two to 12 cents a bushel at the terminals,” Sumner said. “In many sections fully three-fourths of all grain shipped grades ‘mixed.’ Solution of the mixed wheat situation involves the. growing of good wheat of only one class, care in threshing, rotation of crops, and unusual care in planting, harvesting and storage. “Wheat smut is a second heavy loss. Although this loss is preventable, many farmers either overlook seed treatment entirely or treat very care- lessly and hence ineffectively.” “Experimental field and mill tests have demonstrated the superiority of Kubankea and Mindum durum wheats from the standpoint of both the grow- er and the miller,” Booth said, in dis- cussing recommended varieties. “Bak- ing trials also reveal superior qual- ities in Marquis and Ceres wheat. Supplies of seed of standard varieties of all grains are being built up in North Dakota through the cooperation of the state college and seed growers.” Carroll said the Northwest wheat crop is marketed on a national basis on federal grades and that it is to the interest of both the grower and the country buyer to be well informed on these phases of marketing of their product. “Producers and grain dealers should make themselves familiar with the application of the grades of the grain which they produce or handle,” Car- roll said. “The federal grain stan- dards are simple and easy to under- stand and do not require the great study that some would have people believe is required.” Using the complete grading outfit aboard the special car, he graded samples of wheat brought in by some of the men attending. The following elevator managers ‘were present: H. Berger, Mercer; Aug. Okeson, Turtle Lake; Farmers Union Elev. Co., Regan; J. A. Schroeder, Wilton; John Bibelheimer, Washburn; A. B. Car- ter, Arnold; A. W. Snow, Bismarck; G. L. Brokasky, Turtle Lake; John T. Covlin, Butte; F. Gabelein, Burleigh; Percy Freeman, Baldwin; W. N. Kelly, Regan; C. 8.

Golden Valley Fields Damaged by Cutworms Ravages in the sweet clover fields of Golden Valley county by army cuiworms have been reported to Prof. J. A. Munro, entomologist at the Agricultural college. The report from County Agent J. Clayton Russell de- scribed worms in the several stages of growth and as being abundant in tne fields. From another report to the entom- ological department it appears that the same species of worm is active in fields of Stark county. To control this cutworm, Munro suggests two methods, one the poison brain bait and the other by plowing a deep furrow in the path of advance of the pest. The ditch should Gragged frequently with a log or some similar contrivance, points out the entomologist, to keep the dirt pul-j verized so that the worms are unable to escape as they fall into the ditch. Poison bait’ may be placed in the ditch as well as scattered in the in- fested fields, Munro states. The poison bran bait should be dis- tributed toward sunset on warm days because it is during the evening and hight that the worms are most active, ‘The following formula for poison bait is recommended: Bran 100 pounds, molasses 1 gallon, Paris green 4 pounds. gAbout 20 pounds of bait is seablned to treat an acre of infested ground. For garden quantity the following formula will suffice: Bran 1 quart, molasses 1 tablespoonful, Paris green Sentences Man To Eat Spin Evanston, Ill, April 28—)— The next time Mrs. A. L. Kin: cooks spinach for her husband it's likely that he'll eat it. He was sentenced to do so Mon- day by Police Magistrate Harry H. Porter. It seems that Mr. King was ac- cused by Mrs. King of becorning 80 angry when she suggested that he partake of the spinach she had prepared for him, that she feared his wrath would get out of bounds, so she called police. They locked him up. Yesterday he came before the magistrate. “If you will promise to be agreeable to your wife and eat your spinach like a man in the future, I'll let you go free,” said the court. King agreed. FRSSENDEN WINS IN CENTRAL N. D. MERT Noses Out Carrington in Dis- trict Meet in Wells County City Saturday Fessenden, N.

The same pucker explains sleep in a new way, alcoholic insanity and why aviators have “ceilings” above which they lose control. It gives in- sanity itself a novel and less dreadfui jaspect. Dr. Wilder D. Bancroft, professot of physical chemistry, and Dr. G. H Righter made the discovery at Cor- nell university. ‘The normal white of an egg repre- sents fairly well an uncoagulated pro- tein, though much softer than the cells of a sane, healthy brain. Boil the egg and the clear substance whitens and thickens—its proteins pucker, Coagulation is the scientific name; insanity one physical result. Less pucker than normal likewise iis bad. Dilute the egg white until it is watery and the pucker is reduced. Dispersion or peptization, the scien- tists call it. Again insanity is a re- sult. Failure to recognize this two-way source, Dr. Bancroft suggested, ex- plains why certain drugs help some insane persons and are mysteriously @ poison for others. Some drugs counteract too much coagulation, while entirely different ones are needed for over-peptization “Alcohol is credited with nearly 1¢ per cent of the mental disorders that lead to hospital incarceration.” said Dr. Bancroft. “It is a coagulating agent for the brain colloids among others. In its action on the brain it first stimulates and then depresses the depression passing into sleep, anesthesia or death, depending on the amount taken. “If taken repeatedly in considerable amounts visual and auditory hallu- cinations develop and general mental confusion. The combination of these effects in various degrees will mark the person as temporarily insane. Since the initial stages of coagulation are easily reversible, it is not surpris- ing that these cases often recover in @ short time.” PLEADS NOT GUILTY | Fargo, N.

Combined groups of the university corps, numbering 450 students, began a series of six special drills Monday | in preparation for the inspection. REDISTRICTING SUIT BEGUN IN MINNESOTA Emil E. Holmes Files Alternative Writ of Mandamus on Sec- retary of State Minneapolis, April 28.—(7)—A legal action to test the status of congres- sional redistricting in Minnesota was begun in the county district court here Monday. Attorneys for Emil E. Holmes, filed with the ‘court clerk an alternative writ of mandamus signed by District Judge W. C. Leary ordering Mike Holm, secretary of state, to accept Holmes’ filing as a candidate for con- gressman-at-large or show cause why he should not do so. The writ’ was made returnable in district court May 7. Holmes attempted to file April 22, but Secretary Holm declined to accept it. The state legislature, which closed last week, passed a bill rearranging the state into nine districts instead of 10, because Minnesota lost one congressman as a result of the 1930 census. Governor Floyd B. Olson vetoed the bill as unfair. Several legislators contended the veto has no effect on the ground that his signature was not required on such a measure. The legislature ordered the bill deposited with the secretary of state. Other law makers have contended the veto is effective and Minnesota must elect its congressman at large. Holme’s action is expected to even- tually clarify the situation through the courts, Potato growers are faced with an over-production this year, and C. C. Teague, vice chairman of the Federal Farm Board, issues a warning against further planting.

One of the exhibits in possession of @ citizens’ committee is a letter writ- ten by Lucius E, Wilson, 4 great grand-nephew of Samuel Wilson, which furnishes a possible clew to the origin of the name. Samuel Wilton, the lette:s say, came to Troy from Mason, N. H., in 1768 and engaged in brick-making with his brother Ebenezer. Later Samuel Wilson went into the slaugh- tering business. “At this time,” wrote Lucius Wilson, “he became associated with Elbert Anderson, a government contractor furnishing supplies to the army, which was then stationed at Green-| bush and Newburg.
