The matter .of cheap poultry feeds for bemidji might be. easily solved by cooperation, as is at Bar- num, because train\{loads of grain of all kinds, from the Dakotas and Mon- tana, pass through Bemidji over the Great Northern and Soo lines. Hence, a cooperative company could surely pyrchdse grains to be delivered in Be- midji as cheaply as to be delivered in Barnum. ‘ ? The keeping of standard bred, high producing.
