OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THE CROP PROSPECT Each July we have come to expect in the daily press the | first news of the year’s crop where the optimistic booster tells| of record-breaking yields and the pessimist brings out his year- [ ly reports of rust, blight and other parasites. Between the two sorts o_f reports, it is most difficult to get a true line on the real | crop situation, The prolonged heat wave of the past two months undoubt-| edly has had its effect on crop production this year, Such un- usual we'athe.r can not possibly be favorably to all crops, Pre- mature ripening has unquestionably lightened the wheat, oats and bm:le_v crops, and the extent of this damage can only be determined at harvest time. The same heat, however, that blasted the grain crops, has produced a prospect for the great-| est corn crop in the history of the northwest. It is the rarest| sort of_ weather conditions that favor both grain, which needs cool nights and growing weather without excessive humidity, and corn, which needs the sort of weather most favorable to| grain plant parasites. 1 Disregarding most of the current reports as to crop produe- tion, there is reason to believe that the northwest will*produce| this year a good average crop. This statement is based on the! fact that in dry years the'tendency is always to under-estimate| the size of the crop finally secured, whereas, in wet years the| tendency is to over-estimate both the size and the quality of the crop. The great size of the northwest and the great difference| in its climatic and soil conditions practically assure a good aver- age crop, year in and year out. This year should prove no ex-| ception to the rule. A particularly gratifying feature of the crop situation is found in the fact that farmers face a far more normal and sane condition in the market for all crops, as com- pared with the market one year ago. Furthermore, the cost of| producing this year’s crop is much less than the cost of last| year’s disastrous crop.—The Farmer, Wl S o AT : IDEAS WORTHLESS UNLESS PUSHED Ideas are the raw material of progress, Everything first takes shape in the form of an idea. But an idea by itself is worth nothing. An idea, like a machine, must have. power ap- plied to it before it can accomplish anything. The men who have won fame and fortune through having an idea, are those who devoted every ounce of their strength and cvery‘do‘l'ldr they could muster to putting it into operation, Ford had a’big idea, but he had to sweat and suffer and sacrifice in order to make it work. So had Edison. So had Rockefeller, So had Schwab. So had Woolworth. So had Frick. So had Bush. ;806 had Har- riman, So had Hill. So had Carnegie. So had Sears: So had the original Amour and the original Swift. So ‘had Pullman. So had Jackling. So had Singer, So had McCormick. So had Goodyear, Hatching, an idea is only the beginning of the battle. The foundation for nearly every conspicuous American achieve- ment, organization or institution was laid by the sweat and sacrifice and unconquerable perseverance of some man possess- ed by an idea he was willing to give his life for, if necessary. Don’t make the mistake of imagining that an idea, no matter how good, can win its way in the world unless you have grit enough, backbone enough and enthusiasm enough to get be- hind it and push it with all your might. Success may seem to have come very easily to others, As a matter of fact, success rarely is easily attained.—Forbes Magazine (N. Y.) oty SR COMPLIMENT TO BELTRAMI COUNTY Beltrami county was paid a real compliment when the state officials, who were guests of the Civic and Commerce as- sociation last Wednesday, stated that before they decided on the location in which to start the soil survey, they looked over the state for a community which was showing outstanding ac- tivity in soil development, and which was backed up by a com- munity where business and professional men were co-operating with the farmer in the land settlement and development, After investigation, they decided that Beltrami county was the place most entitled to the survey on the merits of their aggressive land clearing campaign and the co-operation shown by the business and professional men of Bemidji. The result is that the townships on the southeast corner of Beltrami county will be the first to be favored with a report on the soil survey as conducted by the state under the appropria- tion granted for that purpose by the last legislature. The serial story known as “Theh Tale of the Beltrami County Road Bonds” got another “to be continued” sign tacked to it at Bemidji last week. Our own opinion is that anyone who can’t scll perfectly good bonds like this county has to offer would have difficulty in selling ice cream in hages. It looks as if somebody has fallen down on the job, but we ‘don’t know who it is.—Baudette gion.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) An example of how. bull assocl- ations, organized through; the help of the United States Department of Ag- riculture, act as a wedge to stimulate dairy interest and promote’ better dairy methods in-a community is il- lustrated by the work which has been .done in Spartanburg county, S. C. Five years ago little dairying was done in this county, according to dairymen of the department, but now the industry is making rapid progress and up-to-date methods are being prac- ticed largely as a result of the organ- ization of a bull association. The interest in dairying dates from the beginning of the purebred bull movement in the vicinity of Campobel- lo in 191G. At that time a breeder, in The ‘Best Way to Improve a Dairy Herd Is by the Introduction of a Purebred Sire. the hope of starting an interest in bet- ter stock and creating a demaod for his animals, presented a purebred bull to the community. Little interest was taken, and the gift was accepted with reluctance. The community was made up of small farms and there were few cows. Following this a dairymen’s picnic and exhibition of live stock was held, and as a result of extension work car- ried on by the dairy division of the department in co-operation with Clem- son Agricultural college more peopie became interested and bought cows. In 1917 a co-operative bull assoclation was organized, from which developed a live stock show, and the members of the association developed a keen inter- est in comparing the dairy animals they raisecd. Another show was held in 1920, at which prizes, offered by merchants and bankers consisting of cash, merchan- dise, and savings accounts were awarded. One of the features of the show was a program of/short tatks on local problems by. the county agent, leading farmers, and representatives of the commercial club and the State Jersey Breeders’ association. As an indication of the interest that was aroused those attending the show voted unanimously to hold a commu- nity fair next fall, to include not only dairy stock but other agricultural products. SPRAY TO KEEP FLIES AWAY Best Time to Apply Repellent Is in Morning After Milking or Early in Afternoon. To keep cows quiet and contented they should be sprayed to keep flies off. A good-time to spray is after milking In the morning and before milking time in the afternocon. With a portable cart, made from a half barrel by attaching wheels and a spray pump and nozzle, two men can spray 40 cows in flve minutes. Thirty gallons of mixture will spray 40 cows twice a day for 10 days. Formula: 4% quarts coal tar dip, 41 quarts fish oil, 3 quarts coal ofl, 8 quarts whale oil and 1% quarts ofl of tar. - Dissolve 3 pounds laundry soap in water, add the above ingredi- ents and bring the whole up to 30 gallons with lukewarm soft water.
