WAROLD J. DANE, Editor. General Need of Good Roads. Engineer Hoag of Drainage Ditch 11, was in Bemidji yesterday and told the county commissioners that the ‘people being served by the ditch and its branches are insisting that roads be built at the same time the ditch is constructed. In fact, he says, they seem more anxious to get the roads than the ditches. The sentiment here reflected is general in Northern Minnesota. More than anything else this country needs good roads. Of what avail fs it to a farmer to raise any crop if he has no means of getting it to a consumer? Of what use are schools if the child- ren have to break a trail through the Wwoods? Of what efficiency is the ru- ral free delivery -if the driver of the -mail wagon has to walk his team and 80 serve half his normal number of farmers? -'_._r__ ist and preach sheep to his farmer friends. = It is to the interest of every man in Bemidji who draws a pay check to see that the country surrounding Be- midji is ‘developed rapidly. The sources of income in this part.of Min- nesota:are either farm, forest or mine. We have no mines; our forests are rapidly being converted into lumber; only-the land is left. That must be settled and made to support hundreds of farms before the prosperity of this city will be firmly established. In order that the land may be farmed it must be cleared. The first step is to.get rid of the brush. After the brush is gone, the land can be seeded to clover and used for a cattle pasture for a year or two. Then the stumps will have rotted enough to admit of easy pulling and the land will be ready for the plow. It.is in the first step, that of getting rid of the brush, that the sheep are needed. Two sheep to an acre, or eighty sheep to a forty, will clear-land of brush during the summer -months if they are confinedclogely. Four sheep to an acre will make a thor- ough job of it. It is the hope of the Commercial club that every farmer near Bemidji will take at least twenty sheep and put them on a fenced in five acré plot next spring. vy fall they will have the land cleared ready for seeding to clover. In 1914 the five acres can be used as a stock pasture and the sheep turned into a new five acre plot. This rota- tion can be kept up until every acre on the farm is cleared and ready for the plow. The value of the sheep. lies only in the pioneer work that they do. Should they be turned into the clover pas- ture, they will nibble the crop so close to the ground that they will kill the roots. The sheep must be The Elwell law provided a means| <Pt bieaking uew. lanievery year of communities borrowing money to be used in the construction of roads. The Dunn amendment adopted last November provides means for raising a state fund from which the commun- ities may borrow. Now let the legis- lature take a step farther and pro- vide some way of having state lands held for sale taxed for good roads in the county in which they lie. The attorney general has ruled that state lands cannot be taxed. Can- not the legislature get around this by appropriations? The north coun- try needs roads and needs them more than Southern Minnesotans who have mever been up here can imagine., In some counties, of which Beltrami is one, there are thousands of acres of state land which lie idle and do not bear their share of the cost of pion- eering. This is a country where road build- ing is more than cutting a trail over the prairie. Let the state help. Was a Minnesota Convict. Olat Tveitmoe, of San Francisco, one of the convicted dynamiters, was formerly a Minnesota man. He was raised in a small town in Southern Minnesota and about ten years ago was sent to the Minnesota state pris- on for forgery. Friends are trying to raise:bail so that he may be re- leased from Leavenworth pending the appael of the dynamite cases. Every Farmer Needs Sheep. At least 100 cars of sheep to he shipped into Bemidji and vicinity is teh basis of the negotiations between the Commercial club, Great Northern railroad and Montana sheep men. In if their highest utility is to be real- ized. There will probably be many thousand sheep pastured in big flocks on some of the long stretches of un- broken land near this city. But it is to the interest of every farmer to get a few sheep for himself and start clearing his own land. Sheep cost about $5 per head laid down in Bemidji. The lamb and wool will pay a large part of the cost the first year and the increase of two years will more than pay the first HOW OLD You LOOK Worn, and All Tired Out—It Is Not Necessary. ‘ You act as though you just won- dered how you are golng to get through the rest of the winter and do your work. .
