Historial Soclety MM N - THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 10. NUMBER 132. BEMIDJE MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1912. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. MANY ATTEND THE FARMERS' PICNIC Rain Spoils Entertainment Planned for School Farm But Lunch is Eaten and Speeches Heard in the High School—McGuire and Eber- hart Tell What is Being Done for Agriculture. MISS EDDY SURPRISES GUESTS WITH SANDWICHES In spite of the bad weather Saturday, over 100 farmers and farmers’ wites came to Bemidji for the farmers' picnic which had to be held in the hizh school because of the rain. Few of the farmers were able to go out to the school farm, but every effort was made to give the same imstruction as though the crops could be seen. Governor Eberhart, Superintendent Mc- Guire. A. E. Nelson and A. P. Ritchie made addresses in the afternoon. At noon the visitors were invited to take their baskets to the gymnasium where the young ladies of the cooking school had hot coffee ready. Noth- ing was said of the sandwiches, doughnuts, pie and cake which were also served and the lunchers were agreeably surprised. Miss Eddy had charge of the lunch but it was prepared and served by the Misses Ruth Getchel, Mona Flesher, Ina Robertson, Fern Robertson, Anna Weiner, Anvella Ken- field, Elizabeth Titus, Alice Neely. Beulah Denis, Mae Simonson, Hilda Gal- chutt and Lillian Booth. After lunch, the visitors adjourned to the high school auditorium where Professor Dyer introduced A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the state ex- periment farm at Grand Rapids. Mr. McGuire told of some of his experi- ences on the farm. He said that when he went there eight years ago, one plot of grouad raised five tons of corn under favorable conditions. This year the same plot raised fifieen and under less favorable conditions. Mr. McGuire laid the difference to crop rotation and better methods of cultiva- tion. He said that any farmer could increase his production the same way. “Crop rotation,” said Mr. McGuire, “is the big thing 1 have found by actual experience that the three year rotation is the best for this section of the state. I would advise that you divide the farm into three plots or series of plots. On the first plant your grain crop with clover drilled in be- neath so that the land will raise two crops. On the second put clover. On the third, put your cultivated crop of corn or potatoes. The second year, put the cultivated crop where the clover was the first, put the clover where you had the grain, and put the grain where you had the cultivated crop. The third year, put the cultivated crop where you had grain the first year, put the grain where you had the clover and the clover where you had the cultivated crop. “In this way, the grass crop precedes and prepares the ground for the cultivated crop. while the cultivated crop prepares the ground for the grain crop. No soil on earth will year after year produce the same crop and keep its fertility. Look at the Red River valley. There never was better land made, yet there are farmers there today actually going bankrupt because they raised nothing but grain for twenty years. You must rotate your crops or go to the poor house. “I want to see Northern Minnesota covered with farms and with a2 cow for every acre. I believe that this is to be the greatest dairy country on the earth. In this connecticn, I want to urge you to stand by your local creamery. Wherever there is a creamery, you will find the city agents offering a few cents more for cream. Don’t sell to them for they will offer you this price only so long as the creamery is in operation. When it is gone the price will come down and you will lose more than you have ever gained. Stay with the creamery and help make it a success.” Governor Eberhart followed Mr. McGuire and held the crowd for over an hour. The governor said, “There are four things that I want to see in Northern Minnesota- 1 am strong for them, believe in them and know their time is coming. Here are the four ‘c’s’ that are as important as the three 'r's’—corn, clover, cows and creameries.’ The governor said that he believed in consolidated schools and congratu- lated Beltrami county on having four of the schools now. He stated that he believed that within ten years, the country would be dotted with con- solidaed schools, and that the state had 100 applications pending at the‘ present time. He also predicted that in tem years, agriculture would be taught in every rural schooi. The governor was interested in the steam stump puller working in the swamp back of the High school and suggested that the Commercial club purchase such a puller and loan it out to the farm- ers. After shaking hands with the farmers, the governor was taken to the fair grounds where he saw the second half of the Fosston-Bemidji football game. It was the first football game the governor had seen this season. usually a central figure at the Minnesota games as he follows the sport closely. He had dinner at the Markham with Judge Stanton, T. J. Burke, Homer Baer, A. E. Fier and Harold Dane. The Commercial club rooms were full in the evening when the governor spoke. He complimented the club and high school on the work being done for the farmers and urged that it be continued. He went on record as be- ing in favor of the state selling the Virginia school bonds and putting the money out among the counties at four per cent for public improvements. The governor urged that all commercial clubs get behind the Dunn good roads amendment as every vote which was not cast for it is a vote against it. The amendment must have a majority of all votes cast if it is to carry. If passed, the amendment will put a fund of $1,200.000 in the state treas- ury for road work next year. Governor Eberhart left the club rooms about ten o’clock and went to the city hall where he danced at the high school party until train time. PRIZE WATCH IS HERE.

Dublin, Sept. 30.—“In the near fu- ture Ireland will become the play- ground for American hunting men,” is the opinion of Harry Worcester Smith, wealthy Massachusetts sports- man, who has just taken up his resi- dence at Mullingar, Ireland, for the purpose of hunting the Westmeath country. He proposes hunting the pack six days a week, and hopes to entice Harry Payne Witney, Malcolm Stephenson, Dr. William L. Smith and other Americans over to join his club. “I cannot understand the present throttle horse racing—the only true test of the horse—” he declares. “It only means the destruction of the great work of horsebreeding and Am- erican sportsmen will have to come to Europe in future, and Ireland will become their playground.” ACTOR’S HEAD BARELY SAVED. Copenhagen, Sept. 30.—Adam Poulsen, Denmark’s leading actor, has no use for cinematograph acts, if he is supposed to be executed in the interests of realism. Recently a big cinematograph company engaged him to play the hero in a cinema drama, in which his artistic exertions had to end with his death on the scaffold. It was a French play, and the pro- moters in order to do the thing in proper style, procured a real guillo- tine. A heavy block of wood was placed a few inches above the spot where the actor was to lay his head, in order to prevent the knife reach- ing the neck. Poulsen, however, in- sisted on a trial before he commenced rehearsals, and the executiomer let the knife drop. It went through the block like a flash, and if the actor had had his head there his acting days would have been ended. MAY STRIKE AGAINST UNION. London, Sept. 30.—The novel sit- uation of a strike against a trade un- ion is promised unless the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants, England’s biggest railway union, raises the wages of a number of its clerks. The pay is $7.25 per week, or $1.25 less than the minimum rec- ognized by the National Union of Clerks. The A. S. R. S. decided that if their employes didn’t like the mon- ey offered they could leave it, and a strike is though to be inevitable. DRINK MINT TEA. London, Sept. 30.—If you want to be in the fashion you must drink mint tea. Ordinary Ceylon or China won’t do, and anyway mint tea is fine for the complexion. Grand Duchess George of Russia says so Mint tea is all the rage in the fash- ionable houses of Belgravia and May- fair, and it owes its introduction to the Russian princess. MAY GOELET SCORES ONE. London, Sept. 30.—The Duchess of Roxburghe, formerly May Goelet, has scored a big social success by getting King George and Queen Mary to vis- it the Roxburghe family seat in Scot- land, Floors Castle, for it has long been known that the queen does not like Americans. Floors Castle is generally full of them but of course all those whom | the court officials might consider “un- | desirables’ had to be cleared out be- | fore the royal party accepted the in- ivitation. The duchess has to thank iher husband for his prowess with a gun, for the privilege of entertain- ing royalty. A splendid shot himself King George will not tolerate pow- i der-wasters when he is out shooting, and it was the Duke of Roxburgh’s fine shooting that earned him the iroyal invitation to Abbeystead, which |gave his wife the opportunity of | proffering their hospitality in re- | turn. | Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 30.—The annual convention of the Interna- | tional Association of Operative Plas- terers began here today and will con- | The at-| | tinue through the week. tendance includes delegates from |many cities and towns of the Unit- |ed States and Canada. . his seventy-eighth birthday today.
