VOLUME 7. NUMBER 194. WILL BE REQUIRED TO BURN SLASHINGS THIS WINTER Forestry Commissioner Prepares Circular Directing Log- gers How to Destroy Debris in Order to Prevent the Spread of Forest Fires. FREE DINNER. The Bemidji Commercial Club will furnish a FREE dinner to all farmers who attend the Farmer's Institute Saturday. The dinner will be served by the Presbyteran Ladies at the armory, where there is plenty of room. Tickets for the dinner will be given out at the close of the fore- noon session in the city hall. The Bemidji Commercial club has arranged matters in a very commend- able manner for the caring of those who will attend the State Farmers’ Institute which will be. held in the, City Hall tomorrow; and Secretary A. H. Jester states that he is ready to extend the “glad hand” to any number of tillers of the soil who may come to the city to listen to the splendid speeches and discussions which will be on the program for the institute. The institute will open at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, and a recess will be taken at 12 o’clock, when tickets will be given out to all far- mers in attendance to a free dinner to be served in’ the :armory, where there is room to feed a big crowd. The institute will be resumed after dinner, and it is expected that the crowd will then be agumented by many more farmers who will drive in from a distance. In writing of the institute, A. D. Wilson, superintendent of the State Farmers Institutes, says: “Among the speakers will be F. B. McLeran who has the stumping of land down to science and gets his land ready for- cultivation at the least possible expense. Mr. Mc- Leran is. also a successful dairyman and fruit grower and will give his experience in these hnes. s *“C. E.

The bank offers as a first prize in the contest $10 in cash; second, $7.50; third, $5; fourth $2.50. The bank reserves the right. to retain the samples of all corn_ en: tered for the contest.

[1Gen. Andrew_s does not anticipate much trouble in” enforcing the law, as som of th larger lumber. com- pames, like the Weyerhaeusers, have notifiéd ‘him .hat they intend to com- Dly to the letter. v 8 Persons who make slashings must pile and burn them as their work:’ proe:resse: and not let them accunmlate,” says the circular. “In the Minnesota national forest at Cass'Take slashmgs are success- “|fully piled and burned when the snow is 'on'the “ground. They are n t to be buméd ina dry season nor b;'and windy weather. ~Itis not expected they will be ‘burned during a rain or:' snowstorm, but under ordmary qlr\:nmstznces there.should not be delay of more- than a week. Ieds nntexpected that every-particle o ‘the slashings will'be consumed_to 'ashes, but that enough be burned to without stopping to ask the ‘opinion of the forestry commissron. =If they have evidence of violation ‘of the law the proper thing to do is-to go before some intelligent justice and make complaint. It will be for the public good if courts will impose the maximum penalty.” / The ciruclar quotes William O’Neil, superintendent of logging at the Cass Lake national forest, who says in a circular that many of the loggers up there have been burning their brush at the time - of cutting, with profit to themselves and at -the same time have destroyed a very: small percentage of green timber. The above will be interesting information to the lumbermen who are logging in Beltrami and adjoin- ing counties who have been specu-’ lating as to what course would be taken by Gen. C. C. Andrews to enforce the provisions of the fire warden law relative to the burning of slashings and other refuse from logging operations. " Some of the operators claim that the provisions of the law cannot be comn>lied with, and that they believe” the law is unconstitutional—all of which will probably necessitate a settlement in the courts. fa Chfistmas _.leers It is always advisable to purchase your, holiday gifts early.
