Plans for the carrying on-of the agricultural department, which the state high school board Satur- day gave the Bemidji high school, by giving it one of the twenty 00 appropriations, for the maintenance of such a de- partment in connection with the high school work, are already being made by W. P. Dyer. superintendent of the Bemidji public schools. He will endeavor to secure a di-! rector as soon as possible. The Bemidji high school was one of the twenty high schools out of a list of 72 who made application for the § 00 appropriation offered by the state, to obtain the aid. No school but those which had shown an interest in industrial work, were considered in the selection of the twenty The schools selected by the board ire as follows: Jemidji, Cloquet. Deer River, Fer- 2us Falls, Hector, Kasson, Litchfield, Little Falls, Madison. Milaca, North-| tield, St. James, Sleepy Eye, Spring Valley, Thief River Falls, Warren, Westbrook, Wheaton, Willmar and Worthington. The ten schools which had the aid during the past two years, are as follows: | Albert Lea, Alexandria, Canby,| Cokato, Glencoe, Hinckley, Lewiston, McIntosh, Red Wing and Wells. | According to plans which have! heen made by the superintendent the | following are the arrangements which will be carried out: en acres of ground of average fertility will be opened up for culti- vation by removal of the stumps, which is to say as soon as the ground has been selected by the school hoard The ground will be subdued dur- ing the first year by the cultivating of crops of corn and potatoes. The second year the farm will be divid- ed into quarter acre plots and rota- tion suitable to the soil will be started. Various experiments in fertiliza- tion, treatment of the seed and meth- ods of cultivation will be made. An orchard will be started. Gardens will be planted by the children of the grades. Mr. Dyer said that in time he ex- pected that buildings would be built suitable for experiments in the feed- ing and care of co s, poultry. A record of all the work done, con- ditions found and results obtained, will be kept and published for the benefit of the farmers. sociation without an examination. hogs and “a splendid showing and stimulu!e! | an influx of settlers and greater cul-isENIuH uuss Tu | tivation of the large profit—benring!
