Torrance, county attorney. During the three years that he has held the position, the duties of the office have | been conducted in a businesslike manner and always has he given strict attention to the county’s af- fairs, directed his work with com- mon-gense management, urged econ- omy and been honest in his endeavor to perform his duties impartially. His record warrants his re-election. One of the county commissioner districts is certain to be represented by a new commissioner after January first, being the Third. For this po- sition, which is of great importance because of the fact that the county’s business is directed by the board, John G. Morrison is a candidate. He was nominated at the primaries by a large vote and should be success- ful at the polls next Tuesday. Mor- rison is a business man and believes that the affairs of the county should be run as economically as is consist- ent with its development. Should he be elected the Third district will be well represented on the board and by a man who is deserving of confidence and who will serve with satisfaction to all. The Amendments. From time to time the Pioneer has made comment on the amendments to the Constitution of the state of Minnesota and it should | be noted that among the eleven there are six that under no circumstances should any voter overlook—tour that should by all means bhe adopted and two that by all means should be rejected. These are the six most important: | No. 1.—The initiative and the fer- | erendum. Should be adopted. No. 2.—Prohibiting the supreme court from declaring laws unconsti- tutional except by the vote of five of its seven members, and increasing the court membership from five to seven. Should be adopted. No. 3.—Setting apart out of the state’s permanet funds a revolving fund .of $250,000 to build roads and fire breaks through state lands. Should be adopted. No. 7.—The so-cdlled ‘'seven-sena- tors” amendment , which would give part of the people less say in the making of laws than another part of the people, and which would prevent another legislative apportionment for half a century. Should be re- jected. No. 9.—Providing for the setting aside of land unfit for agriculture for reforestration purposes. It should be adopted. No. 10.—The recall, includmg the absurd provision for the recall of ap- pointive officers and-equally absurd provisions making it, impossible to recall members of the legislature. Should be rejected.

Prices for imported crimson clover vetch seed bave veceptly ~hown such a marked upward tend- cney - that -specialists of the depart- went of agricalture fear that the cost {ul these seed, of which Europe is the |+ hief source, will interfere with the in % reasing use of these teguminous cover {erops. In fact, it is feared that the prices of the seed -of these legumes may ‘go so high as to make it inad visabie to plant them this year. Before the present European -condi tious. arose crimson clover seed was selling at from $4 to $5 per bushel.- Up to Ang. 13 there was a scarcity of thix «eed in the United States, owing to the fuct that the receipts froin Europe were smaller than-usual. The prices then advanced to from $7.50 to $9 per Lushel. Since that date importations liave continued to arrive until there is uow more imported seed 2 able for fall seeding than there was in this country n year ago at this time. Thix seed, according to the department’s in | formation, was all fmported at appros | imately the same price as that sold for | of the season. The present high price therefore, is regarded by the depart ment as unwarranted from the stand oint of the supply and the import price of the secd. Some dealers are | continuing to sell at the former price | Lut these are exceptions. If the present. high price is wain | tained the ‘specialists are doubtful whether crimson clover can be profit ably used as a green manure crop for seeding In corn or on vacant ground or under other conditions where the cateh is not reasonably certain. Under i such conditions they point out tbat it will be better practice to sow rye this fall and use the difference in price in | adding nitrogen to the soil in the form { vt nitrate of soda or some other highly nitrogenous fertilizer. The rye will aftord a winter cover, preventing wash- | ing and leaching, and can be plowed under in the spring to add humus to the soil. When crimson clover Is being nsed regularly as a winter cover crop in orchard culture or where local experi cuice indleates that a good b and a good crop-are practically certain, pay- ment of a higher price for the seed will i no doubt Le justitied | A somewhat similar condition exists | with reference to bairy vetch seed | 'There has been approximately six | sevenths as much seed fmported since Nov 1, 1913, as in the yenr previ vus. This shortage, however, Is part- Iy counterbalanced by the Increasing ! dumestic production of hairy vetch seed. Wherever the price of hairy veteh seed Is found to be exorbitant {the sume change in farm practice Is recommended as that suggested in the | ease of crimson clover. Woven Wire Corncrib.

Read what a Bem- idji citizen says: Mrs. P. Schoendeman, 814 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “One of the family had trouble from his back and kidneys, caused by hard work.. He suffered badly from lame- ness across his loins, Whenever-he stooped he could hardly get up again. Two years ago, while living in Brainerd, he was having so much trouble that he knew he had to do something. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to him as the best remedy for kidney disorders and he began taking them. In a short time he was rid of the trouble. Since then he has taken Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and has always had quick relief. We have great faith in this remedy.” Price 50¢, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Schoendeman recommends Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, Y.—Adv.
