BELTRAMT COUNTY It is with regret that I gever my relations with the people of Bemidji and Beltrami county. It is only be- cause of an opportunity to take a position where:I can pbetteriprepare myselt for seryice that:I would cons sider leavingiat this time. ik think that ‘semetime-I-might retu and take up the work in this county. I -have enjoyed ‘every-mifiute of -my .time -here .and wherever I. may- g2 I' shall continue to boost for' this community. v No one appreciates more than I do the ‘hardships.caunsed :the .past:year by ‘the nearcrop-failure. y such'_a thing has never jpccurred here:before:and;prabably. never will ‘again.

This fact is our guarantee that;for ailongitime to: come the .meeds’of the world will call for our utmost exertions; and: at high prices.

The war has greatly en: Iavged the fleld of our custom, ‘because ‘we have taken ‘the trade of many ‘of the warring countries, whose every energy is devoted to war. It is'a great mistake to suppose that all our energy ia: being. expended on :war ac- tivities. . Our production and manufactures in the arts of peace are. far greator today ithan ever before.

USE THE AXE! (Washington Post) The country will gratefully and loyally: support you, Mr. President, in ,cutting down and destroying the im: pediments to progrese and victory. /There are times when it is as necessary for the man-in command to sacrifice his own feelings as it is to destroy the enemy. .The ;country knaws that you are loyal to your friends, Mr. President. .It knows that you .are generous in your estimates, exceedingly. slow:to believe evil or :/wrong, patient beyon: expression, and resentful of imputations cast upon those in whom you put your trust. But the country. also knows that you ~ have set your heart upon victory in.this war, .and-that no private feeling .A,ql‘llf;lwer.ve you from performing -any: task, however :disagreeable, that =>IAyY rhe :necessary : to -defeat the enemy. ""You owe it to yourself, Mr. President, to eliminate from places of ;immense authority those men in whom: the ipeople of ithé United States have lost confidence. These men must not-be a‘drag-upon-you. : If they ~anengrest men they would instantly resign and relieve .you of the em- . barrassment of removing them. .'They.have mo:right:to.presume upon ~your:loyal friendship to keep them in places where they are increasing .t¥he insfticlency of the United States.

' After i|the - war.is won, the great munition factories will turn out;dynamite for the farmers at a.very low, price. This ] will .result. in: such: a rapid. develop- ment of the farms that Bemidji will not feel .the loss of the.. sawmills when their work . is.completed. Beltrami county has.splendid: land and. agriculture i8 developing along the right lines. More clover should be raised and after more feed is.ob- tained more cows should be kept in: order to turn this feed into.a.cash income, without selling,much fer:il- ity from the farm.. I like the looks of .a good beef animal but I-feel sure that the. dairy cow, is far better for the poor man or the man .of moder- ate means, I hope the .communities .which | have been using pure bred dairy sires will continue the;good .work and not. allow. the: grade heifers, that are growing up to be.bred.to: scrubs. Four. . or five good cows are ‘much better ;than ,a, dozen poorly. fed' and poorly cared for. The co-operative creamery . is..essential. to insure the farmer. a fair. price for his “butter fat. Any. farmer. fortunate enough to live in a community where there '| 18.such a creamery is a slacker if he does. not. give it his best support. The, Rosby creamery is an asset to Bemidji as well .as._the community in., which it is.located. Clover hay togather with corn silage. or' eorn fodder and rutabagas makes: a:'good milk production ration.. Itican be improved by adding oats or barley. “The ; big :cash .crop for Beltrami .county :is, the potato crop. It has been my. privilege. to examine pota- toes on hundreds of farms in this county. - Better: .potatoes are :.-not. grown. . We are growing too many varieties to either have a good mar- ket or to bring fame to our’ county. No one. is to blamebecause, it has taken time.to find out which vari- eties are best suited to our soil.. All of them will grow and any of them will be good to eat. We must -base our future on: the early varieties for two reasons—first, because they will mature so that an early frost does not injure them and, secondly, they always command a good: price for the southern seed trade. If gvery farmer in' Beltrami county : would grow either the Red Bliss Triumph or the Irish Cobbler Potato -many buyers would be bidding: for tneir potatoes and in a few years the coun- ty -would have a reputation; for po- tatoes familiar to:every school' boy in:the United States. The Cobblers are suited to lighter soils than the Triumphs and keep growing: until the. vines are killed by frost. Al- though the.:Cobbler vines are:green; and- growth continues the : tubers) will cook up mealy after the middle of” August. Triumphs command a higher price than Cobblers. : These varieties. ‘:are worth from $3.00 to $3.50 ‘per . hundred - in - Minneapolis today, while there is little demand for .table stock at any price. Of the late varieties the Green Mountains or-Carmen-No. 1-are best for the av- erage. soil,. while the.Russet ig-best for a muck soil or a soil in a high state ‘of fertility. f +The .corn situation'is serious be- cause much of the:acclimated seed was lost last year. The Bemidji School Farm should, and undoubt- edly will, multiply the pure Minne- sota No. 13 which has been/iaccli- mated there, The man on the heavy; soil should depend, for a time :at least, on getting seed for his fod- der or silage corn from the man who has light soil. Before closing, I wish to say a word about the friendship between town and country as it is developed in this city. A city or a farm’does not make people, but the people make the city or the farms. It is for: the best . interest. of everybody that the city and its fnstitutions and the country and its institutions should /all work together in har: mony. The time is not far distant when any ‘man who does mnot feel that he can best advance his own interests by ' co-operating with the best there 48 in both town and coun- {lr‘y will be eliminated from public o, My address will be University Farm, St. Paul, Minnesota, and I shall be :pleased to hear from:my, Bemidji and Beltrami county friends at any time.
