The annual timothy seed crop of the United States is largely grown within a short radius of Chicago, where land is held at prices ranging from $100 to $200 per acre. Minne- sota produces a better quality of timo- thy seed and when rightly handled-is the best that can be produced. Canada, it is stated, ships in from the United States about 400,000 bush- els. Minnesota is in a position to take unique advantage of this trade if once the farmers will awaken to the opportunity. Our lands .are cheaper, yields as good and quality better.

CHIROPRACTIC IS RIGHT Nature is the Chiropractor’s only aid—adjust- ments remove the piuch on the nerves and enable Nature to do her part in making and keeping the body well. . Ninety-five per cent of diseases are due to pressure upon nerves along the sides of vertebral column. This pressure interferes with their functions; hence, inflamation, unnatural action, pain and distress are manifested where these nerves end. All diseases are prolonged until pressure upon those nerves lead- ing to the affected parts is adjusted. It is the busi- ness of the Chiropractor to release this pressure with the hand, the doing of which has never been taught in other schools. and has never been practiced by them. Ancient methods and cure-alls put but little check on disease. gressing. Times have changed and science is pro- Chiropractic adjustments, relieving nerve impinge- ments, permit Nature to remove the cause of disease and correct abnormalities without the vse of drugs.

We hold that such provi- sion would be equally just when ap- plied to clearing land in our stump land region. To Clear Land. 3. Resolved, that in view of the fact that resident settlers can by rea- son of being able to pasture stump lands for a period of years, cleur land cheaper than the state can clear it for the plow from standing timber, this association recommends that in the event of clearing state. lands by this state in the future, not to exceed five.acres, be cleared for the plow on any forty and that ten acres be cleared, except stymps, and seeded to grass for pasture purposes. 4. Resolved, by this association that the standardization of types and varieties of potatoes as outlined oy the committee from the Minnesota Po- tato Growers’ association and the Minnesota Crop Improvement asso- ciation be recommended for adoption by all potato growers in Minnesota. This association further recommends that a system of state potato inspec- tion, equal in efficiency to the state grain inspection, be established. Continue Contests. In conclusion, it may also be stated that it was upon the suggestion of the agricultural committee of this association that the Boys’ and Girls’ Potato Growing contest was launched this year and the premiums provided by this association. "We expect great result from this contest. The boys and girls of Northern Minnesota can safely be relied on for that un- der the splendid leadership of T. A. Erickson and his assistants and un- der the efficient supervision and in- struction of our county superintend- ents of schools, our high school in- structors in agriculture and our county -agents, Therefore, be it resolved again, 'pledges its support to a “continua- tion of this contest and a state-wide potato show for 1916.

The committee on “Rural Credits” of which C. R. Middleton of Baudette is chairman, made its report. The committee suggested as to public policy in regard to rural credit in Northern Minnesota, thé following: 1. The system of land mortgage debenture companies should be en- couraged. Federal laws are needed, and possibly some modification of the existing Minnesota law.. The details of legislation require careful atten- tion. ; 2. Private interests should be en- couraged to provide settlers loans in excess of amounts which debenture companies can be expended to nd-’. “Adver- | vance of settlement, to ald and super- vise the settlers, and above all to cause settlement by communities rather than scattered, hit-and-miss settlement. Local financial institu- tiqns and large land holders and col- onization companies should be in- duced by educational methods and public sentiment to pursue this policy. 2. The state should adopt means to prevent misrepresentation and fraud in land sales. # 4. The state should, in the dis- position of its own lands, pursue the policy outlined in paragraph No. 2, and should be authorized to do so by suitable amendment of the Consti- tution.

From land broken in October, last year, this year yield- ed about forty bushels of oats to the acre. These oats were raised on the Eugene Daniels farm west of the vil- lage. The Great Northern farm crop of oats raised on the T. J. Lomen farm yielded ninety-eight bushels to the acre and Mr. Lomen raised about eighty-four bushels to the acre of his own oats, his barley crop yielding sixty-four bushels to the acre.

If everything was sold in as liberal and fair a manner as Barker’s Drug Store is selling Schiffmann’s New Concentrated Expectorant, absolutely no cause for complaint or dissatisfac- tion could possibly arise from anyone. These druggists say “Buy a bottle of this new remedy and try it for Bron- chitis, Bronchial Asthma, Whooping Cough, Severe Cough, Croup or any Bronchial Affection, and we will re- turn your money, just the same as we do with Dr. Schiffmann’s famous Asthmador, if it does not give perfect satisfaction, or if it is not found the best remedy ever used for any of these complaints.” In addition to this guarantee, in order that the pub- lic might try this remedy without further delay, these druggists an- nounce that they have decided to make an extra inducement and will sell 200 regular 50c size bottles for half price, 25¢, to the first 200 per- sons who sign and present the cou- pon below at their store. Although they and the proprietor are losing money on every bottle sold at this price, they both have decided to stand this loss, so as to give those who have not yet used this excellent rem- edy, an opportunity of trying it, at their loss, knowing it will be found the best medicine ever used by any-' one. Even though not in need of such a medicine at present, it will pay to ob- tain a bottle now at half price, as no" doubt someone in the family will re- quire it before the winter is over, but you will.not have another chance of buying for less than full price. One bottle makes a full pint (128 teaspoonsful) by simply mixing it at home with. one pint of granulated sugar and one-half pint of water, and makes a whole family supply, and as }nuch as would ordinarily cost from $2 to $3 for the same quantity of the ordinary, old-fashioned, ready- made kinds of doubtful merit and al- so without a guarantee, like this remedy. It is prepared from strictly harmless plants and is so pleasant that children like to take it and it can be given them with perfect safety as it positively contains no chloro- form, opium, morphine or any other narcotic, as do most cough mixtures. Absolutely no risk whatever is run in buying this remedy on the guar- antee of the above well-known, re- liable druggist. If a neighbor or friend would take and pay for half the bottle, the cost of half a pint of this excellent medicine would only cost each about 12 cents.
