Editor Gets Letters From Friends Who Heard His Broadcast One would hardly realize just how far WHO at Des Molnos reaches out and how thorough they cover their territory. We talked a few minutes over that station last Thursday evening and we received many letters. We are publishing four of them for from people who have cd here and many citizens will remember them.

Those letters from the old-timers are always of special! Interest to our readers. Sheffield, lowa February 25, 1936 Mr. Kirt Allen, Esthorville, lown Dear Mr. Allen: I was glad to hear your voice over WHO last evening. I listen to WHO every evening, and it certainly pleasing to know, that the people, not only of Town, together with the sportsmen, have rallied to this good cause, of caring for the pheasants, the way they did.

I have kept in touch with the situn-: tion in Franklin County, through our County Agent, Mr. Howell, who feel has done splendid job in this county, but he informs me that there! were lots of birds lost in this county. However, we feel that if we can save the balance, that we will have sufficient numbers to get good start gain. I Just talked with a man here yes-! terday, that has been and is feeding about 65 (nennly all hens) on his farm all winter. There are several good flocks seattered throughout the county, even in larger number than the one ease above referred to.

We raised considerable funds here that were turned over to Mr. Howell, and we also some donations of grain and feed. I hope this good work is kept up, 28 long as It need be, for the good of our bird friends. Yours very truly, A. Iverson LEEDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS Helmer Twito, Supt.

Leeds, North Dakota February 28, 1936 Mr. Kirt Allen, Estherville, Iowa. Dear Mr. Allen: Just heard your talk over WHO. Credit to for the interest and time as well as expense contributed for the cause of wild life in Iowa.

Your talk came In very fine and know you will appreciate the fact that you did yourself, in every way. Did I know you I would hesitate to believe a frozen beak on the pheasant as large as a ball, but pleased to know the rooster nnd two hens will soon be free and happy You folks have done much to arouse interest for the cause in behalf of game in North Dakota and the other states within the range of the statlion WHO. How is that big brother of mine behaving? Tell Emlet next time you sce him that he has a brother up here in North Dakota that would appreciate hearing from him once in a while. He likes to write letters, I know, but don't tell him I made this break. Our trains up here are running so the mail will comes through.

Drifts of snow, some cold weather, lots of fuel and rather rough past two months wee hope conditions will soon change. Know you have had your share also. With regards Yours very truly, Twito Helmer Stewartville, Minn. February 29, 1936 Mr. Kirt Allen, Estherville, Iowa.

Dear Kirt, You no doubt will be surprised at receiving this letter, but I will say that It would be impossible for you to receive the treat and joy It brought to me last evening as I sat by Iny Philco having my evening smoke when I heard the announcer say that Kirt Allen would be the next speaker. It took the wind alt out of my sails and I never took another drag out of the old pipe until you said "good It just sent me back to my boyhood days of 42 years past. And words can't explain the joy it brought to me, Kirt, to hear your voice and when you spoke of bird life and sports you found my weak point for I'm still an Allis. You are sure doing your bit in good old Emmet County. Keep it up! Our troubles are small besides yours, as we haven't the snow, but we are feeding for the last five weeks, but DAYS By DWIG SHUCKs!

Ellis CASS COUNTY IMPLEMENT Casselton, N. D. February 29, 1936 Mr. Kirt Allen, Editor of Estherville Enterprise, Esthervitle, lown. Dear Sir: I don't know if you remember me jor not, but I used to live on farm southwest of Estherville and moved to North Dakota in 1919.

We happened to havee Des Moines on our radio February 28, and heard your talk about wild life and thought you did a very creditable job. The wild Alfe up here is certainly having hard sledding this year due to the severe cold and exceptionally heavy fall of snow. I konw how Iowa is fixed this winter as I was at Waterloo two weeks to a tractor school at the John Deere factory there. If you should use this letter--let all cronies know I'm still alive and kicking. Yours very truly, George W.

As for the writer, we know but littie of political committees and. sim. ply voted our convictions, 0-- COUNTY AGENT LISTS SURPLUS SEED CORN County Agent M. A. Balkema is making up a list of farmers in Emmet County who have a surplus of corn suitable for seed.

Several have listed crib corn or. which a composite test has bean taken. Farmers will be able to obtain sufficent seed In the county, Mr. Balkemu believes. Most recent tests emphasize the necessity for making sure of the germination of the corn before it is planted.

Germination tests range from 10 percent to 80 percent. A list of farmers needing seed is also being compiled by Mr. Baikemn. Corn subjected to the severe cold weather in January and February has been severely damaged from the standpoint of germination recent tests show. This is especially true where the moisture above.

cantent ranged Consequently from corn 15 percent and that was not stored in a reasonably dry warm place should be tested.
