Seventy-five of the 86 counties of Minnesota were repre- sented in the boys’ and girls’ club breadmaking contests at the state fair. Thirty-eight canning teams took part in demonstra- tion. Several cans of fruits and vegetables were marked 100 by the judges and the exhibit as a whole surpassed any other of the kind at the fair. The quality of the corn exhibits made by the young farmers was the best since this particular contegt was started several years ago. The poultry clubs staged their first demonstration. . All the pigs but one entered in the pig club competition were from registered stock, whereas only two of all the en- tries in the first state contest were registered animals. T. A. Erickson of the extension division of the university college of agriculture, state leader of boys and girls club work, was congratulated by Miss Gertrude Warren of Washington, national leader, for the commanding position taken by Minne- sota toward the practical education of its young for farmers and homekeepers. Three hundred girls from 79 counties were housed at the agricultural college and prepared their own meals at a maximum cost of 15 cents for breakfast and 25 cents for dinner. One hundred fifty boys were in camp at the fair grounds. It was a great week for the young farm club members. ——— NYMORE WILL GET NEW WELL. Well, it commences to look as if Nymore was going to get that well it has long been expecting and its citizens are com- mencing to take a new view of the situation, so far as their part of the city is concerned. At the meeting of the city council Monday night, when the subject of improved fire facilities was broached by Alderman Bagley, and P. J. Lahr gave a talk on taxes, he referred to insurance in Nymore and cited curtail- ment of insurance owing to lack of proper fire protection. Then it was brought out that the former village is going to get a deep well and pump which will supply all needed water, and;thains will be laid to the Lincoln school and.the business district, which will take care of the insurance problem at the sc #nd, permit new business houses to be erected and those ) fmproved. “ Then the village will commence to ad- IS, R, TWO CLOVER CROPS PAY HANDSOMELY. Guess this Northern Minnesota country is strong in the line of crop raising, for along comes a report from Becida, and the “goods” show for it, that the clover seed crop in that vicin- ity was a top notcher this fall and two of the growers, who brought in their seed to Bemidji for shipment to the Northrup- Kling company realized handsomely upon their seed crop of clover. This seed concern paid E. K. Nyhus of Becida a check for $3,590 for seed raised on 20 acres, and the same firm paid Fred Barr of the same vicinity $1,190 for the seed raised on eight acres. *™ That’s “some land” over Becida way. —o0 Klarkquist & Sons, who have the general contract for the building of the new dormitory for the Normal school, have the concrete foundation well along and soon the side walls will commence to rise as the brick is beginning to arrive on the site. 7 SRR From all reports, there will be another big building year in 1920, and several important structures are already being planned for erection, each of a substantial and ornamental na- ture in both business and residential districts. erected and made reacy for oc- STATE OFFICIALS IN NORTH MINNESOTA ARE SEEKING SITES Would Locate Epileptic Colony in Wooded Tract; Also Locate Paper Mill St. Paul, Oct. 1.—Seeking sites for the proposed North woods colonies for epileptics and feeble-minded pa- tients and for the proposed state- owned paper mill, state officials and committeemen of the Minnesota Edi- torial association left St. Paul Sat- urday for Northern Minnesota. The tour will be personally oncducted by J. A. O. Preus, state auditor and cus- todian of state lands, and will con- tinue a week. Chairman Charles E. Vasaly, C. J. Swendsen and Ralph Wheelock of the state board of control, Senatol W. A. Nolan, Grand Meadow, of the state board of visitors, and E. V. Millard, state drainage engineer, and Frank A. Day of the Fairmont Sentinel and C. M. Atkinson of the Mesaga Ore, . Hibbing, committeemen of the state editorial association, make up the " party accompanying the auditor. Establishment of colonies in which feeble-minded and epileptic wards of the state may be given suitable out- door work, such as lead-clearing and gardening, was authorized by an act of the 1919 legislature. The law per- imts the use of a suitable tract of state land and provides funds for buildings which probably will be cupancy next year. The board of control party will spend a day examining possible sites for the feeble-minded colony be- tween Northome and Bemidji, both parties planning to be in Internation- al Falls and Ranier Wednesday, go- ing there from BemidGji possibly by auto. GAKUENS 1V CIRCLE LONDON Plan Started in Metropolis to Ee- tablish Self-Supporting Agri- cultural Suburbs. London.—Millions of pounds are to be spent In the creation of a system of Industrial garden cities which ulti- mately will rim metropolitan London. The scheme, just outlined, is the most elaborate city-building project ever undertaken in England and Is an adaptation of the model industrial town idea originated some years ago in the Uniled States. Building on the first of these “flower garden” suburb cities is to begin next month north of London, ac- cording to newspaper announce- ments. The town will be self-sup- porting and will cover several thou- sand acres. Within its precincts will be an agricultural area. Its populace will be supported by several engineer ing Industries to be located there. The project is an attempt not only to solve London’s housing system, which has become a grievous one, but to prevent an overwhelming con- gestion of the city’s industries and other commercial activities.
