GROOKSTON FARMERS GET BUT FAIR GROPS Wheat Will Average Ten Bushels Per Acre—O0at Yield Said to be Light. POLITICAL SITUATION IN POLK COUNTY IS COMPLICATED Thomas R. Brown and Fred Strobel Expected to Oppose Marin and Halten. Crookston, July 30, 1910—(Speci- al to the Pioneer)—The harvest this year is going to be completed earlier than any season during the past twenty years. The rye harvest began the first of the week and the farmers threshed at ;réce‘n_nd: the rye yield is proving i very fair. There is a big rye acreage this year as farmers are getting -more and more into rye as & cleaning ‘crop for Jland and be- cause it permits .'of ‘ plowing the land very early. ¢ Some early oats have been out also but the- yield. will ;'be very light. Some of the farmers aye been mow- ing their oats od'the’ green-side and will make fodder of them'hecause of the shcrtnge of’ rouzbaze for the milch cows. " Green oats, though too rich to be fed freely will make an ‘excellent-fodder. when properly cured’; :nd used " with_less richer coarse feed. Oat\or bnr]ey fed with it mnkes a” inrl % xfipqonfi. Hawevar there ten and twelve-bushels per acre and very few will go less than eight bushels per acre. Late barley is as a rule very poor and a great deal of it will not be cut. However the farmers will use it as pasturage in many instances and in this manner keep their dairy herds well fed till the pastures pick up. The pastures will do little until a soaking rain comes, showers doing scarcely any good as the moisture evaporates before the roots of the grass derive any material benefit. Creamery men are surprised at the manner in which the production of cream is being maintained in the face of very poor pasturage, but the dairymen are resourceful and using everything possible for green feed to keep up the milk flow. No new machinery has been pur- chased such as would have been necessary had a bumper crop been promised. The outlook has not been good atany time since the middle of June and as a result farmers are not facing obligations which they cannot meet. Mer- chants have also been conservative and both farmers and merchants ‘have prepared for a shor crop and as a result there 1s going to be very little inconvenience if the weather its favorable and what grain has been raised can be saved and marketed. Interest has been added to the legislative situation in Polk county by the rumor that Thomas R. Brown, secretary of the Crookston Commercial club is considering the advisability of entering the legisla. tive race and as a running mate may have Fred Strobel of Angus. Mr. Brown is well known through- out the county, having become personally acquainted with the farmers of the county as secretary of the Northwestern Minnesota Agricultural society of Polk county. Mr. Strobel is a well known farmer who has resided. at Angus for the past twenty years and is also a prominent member of the G. A. R. Neither one has announced their candidacy but there has been con- siderable talk. Both are agreeable to western Polk and their friends believe they would give Representa- tive Holton of Fertile and W. A. Marin, who have already filed, a friends but other portions of the county are being sounded and devel- opments are expected in a few days. Both are strongly against county flat footed county optionists. WEATHER TODAY, Temperature Friday Saturday 7 60 8 60 9 64 10 s 66 11 68 12 69 P.

A circular bas been received from the state board of health concerning infantile paralysis. - Many vdelih have resulted from this disease “dur- ing the past year and summer hot weather has brought on the trouble to a greater extend than during the winter. . In this city and the sur- rounding country, several children have died from the disease during June and July. Children ten years old and vounger are the more susceptible to the disease and parents are warned against allowing these young chil- dren to run and play upon the streets. The germ apppears to lurk in the dust of the streets, country roads, barnyards and stables. “Rest” is strongly urged as a pre- ventative of the complaint. In cities where the streets are not paved, they should be well watered. The present dry weather during the summer has made the dust of the stre€tsa hot bed for germs, and while sprinkling will not kill the germs, it will keep them from spreading. Infantile paralysis usually starts in the lower limbs or the neck region. Itthen works slowly up or down and death usually comes when the heart is reached. So far, science has not discovered any merry chase. Mr. Brown has discussed: the sure cure for the disease and different doctors have different methods of treatment. City doctors report that there are cases of ihe disease here now and that many of the recent deaths of children under ten years have been due to this causz. This city has the lake advantages and has fewer cases than cities farther south and in other states. Iowa has had a bad epidemic this sum- mer and it has carried off many young children. Parents are urged to keep their children away from the dust and report to a physican at the first symptoms. Card of Thanks.

"It is import- ant that all BAGLEY'S MARKET DAY ATTRAGTS MANY FARMERS Program of Races and Liberal Cash Prizes Brought Large Number to the City. Bagley, July 30—(Special to the Pioneer)—The elaborate program of races, contests and valuable prizes offered by the business men of Bag- ley for their “Market Day” attract- ions, brought a record breaking num- ber of tarmers to town yesterday. The program included the follow- ing races: pony race; boy’s sack race; boy’s race, 12 to 16 years; boy’s race, under 12 years; men’s foot race; girl’s race, under 14 years; ladies’ race, over 14 years; potato race, for ladies only; wheelbarrow race, boys over 16 years; tug of war; fat men’s race; lean men’s race; men’s three- legged; bicycle race, free for all; motor cycle race; men’s standing broad jump,(3 hops). Valuable prizes were given by the merchants to the farmers bringing the largest wagon-load of customers, the largest number of eggs, the finest dairy butter, the heaviest load of hay and largest assorted lot of vegetables grown this season. The “Market Day” also brought to town “the glad band” of the different candidates for the legislature, A. L. Hanson, of Ada; Albert Berg, of Spooner, and D. P. ONeill of Thief River Falls being present. Hanson talked county option; Berg, re-ap- portionment and a square deal for northern Minnesota; O’Neill, county option and re-apportionment. The senatorial fight between Hanson and Berg promises to be an interesting one. Both are old hands at the game and will spare neither time nor persuasion to land the nomination, which practically means an election, The baseball game that took place today between Fosston and Bagley, resulted in a score of 1 tooin favor of Fosston. The one score was the result of an error, the game being a pitcher’s ' battle from beginning to end.

Minneapolis, July 30—John Lind when it meets in December. It was discovered yesterday that if elected, Lind cannot refuse to serve. The situation is peculiar and re- publican leaders believe that the demovcrats “have put their foot in it.” ‘The democrats say they will win with any man as the republicans are hard still refuses to accept the demo- cratic nomination for governor of Minnesota. In aninterview yester- day at Everett, Washington, he was g ‘y sal asat any ks preceding the pushed, but would rather win with’ Lind than any other democrat. St. Paul, July 30—(Special to the Pioneer)—One of the most remark- able political situations in the state’s history has been brought about by the surprise sprung by the demo- crats when, in the face of telegrams of refusal, they nominated John Lind for the head of the ticket. Mr. Lind was in Everett, Wash., and by this timeis on his way to Alaska. A friend here declares Lind told him that in case he was nominated he would sail for Japan to be gone until after election, Anyhow, Miss Democracy presents the sublime spectacle of craming a nomination down the throat of a man who has said that even the thoughts of it made him sick. Since the convention he has renewed his assertion that he ‘will not accept. This leaves the selection of a democratic candidate for governor hesfacti-tnt.ithe demacratic convention nominated me in spite of my announcement - that I would not accept, does not change my attitude in the least,” he said. ‘I will not re-enter politics under any cir- cumstances.

This decision on my part is irrevocable and I am surprised that t| went ahead and nominate way. I will not accept. “I am out of politics for good and all, and it might as well be clearly understood from the start. Nothing can make me change my mind. My friends all know that.” Asked when he would return to Minnesota, Mr. Lind said: “I leave Everett in a few days for a pleasure trip through Alaska. I shall return to Minnesota early in September, according to my present plans. I surely was sufficent- ly emphatic in my letter to the state conven- me any- REPRESENTATIVE HAMMOND. chairman a month ago, and I cannot understand. my nomination in the face of that letter.” Asked if be would refuse even if elected, Mr. Lind said: “That is an impossible: situa‘ion.

In his dreams a rooster steals him and cafries him away. Film No.2¢ A Brave Little Girl” received much applause. It treats a story where the child rescues the father and holds the attention from the start, “Gee! I'm Late,” is a film that is the funniest ever made.
