Much that is grown in northern Minnesota is not fully ma-1 tured by September Ist, and the dates for.the fair are from September 2 to 7 With an entirely favorable season, however, we may experience no dis- advantage on this score. In the meantime the officers of the Itasca county Agricultural association should give the matter some consider- ation. PUSHING THE WORK. Operations at The Pulp’ Mill Progressing Very Satisfactorily. With a large crew of men and teams at the excavation work at the pulp mill during the past four weeks a big showing has been made. When the water fell sufficiently to repair the cofferdam no time was lost by the management to begin the active work of the season, which will be vigorous- ly pushed unti! the wheels begin to turn. High water during the spring was a considerable set back, but Messrs. Lindauer and Bossard were by no means discouraged. They had been through similar experiences and tknew what the outcome would be Tt only meant the loss ofa little time. If all things nad conspired to their fovorit was hoped to see the plant ready for business by October next, but the delay mentioned will make it necessary to change the original ex- pectations. THE FIRE BOYS WILL FIRE The National Salute in Grand Rapids on July Fourth. Now that the Grand Rapids Fire department has decided to take charge of the glorious Forth of July celebration in the village it is none too-early to begin hustling together the necessary committees for the pre- liminary work that is always re- quired. There 1s every reason to feel that the celebration thisxyyear should far excell all that have preceded it in Grand Rapids. The boys will see that this is done provided our good people contribute according to their ample means. Grand Rapids people haye an enviable reputation for liber- ality and this vear they should outdo themselves. But in order to get up agenuine, old fashioned Fourttr-of+ July the preliminary arrangements and the foundation for the program must be early determined upon. which cannot be down until the neces- sary funds have been pledged. When the committee calls treat them liber- ably. Still Another Real Estate Firm, Real estate.seems to be on the boom in this vicinity if the number of per- sons engaged in it is any indication. The latest acquisition to the ranks is the firm of Howard & Bergen. J. Howard and Ed Bergen have formed a partnership and entered into the real estate business. These gentlemen are too well known to need any introdue- tion from us and their personal re- cords are clean and honorable. The gentlemen spent part of week at the Zenith city. We bespeak for Howard & Bergen success.

They succeeded in knocking their victim down, when they proceeded to Delabor him. Williams regained his feet and made a run for the boat in which lay his rifle. He seized the fire- arm and fired three shots at Morris each one taking effect. Williams says he does not think Morris can After the shooting Williams gave himself up. He will be taken to Cass county. hs Suggestions by Chapman. . Where a murket is assured, potato growing in Northern Minnesota can ‘be made quite profitable, as the qual- ity of the potatoes grown here is gen- erally far superior to those grown further south, and with the proper methods of farming, the yield will al- 80 be greated. Twobhundred bushels )per acre is a normal crop in this sec- ‘tion. Where grown on new land,-a large and clean crop of tubers may be ‘expected. Itis best to avcid low or Heavy svil, as there is danger of loss from drowning out or rot, in a wet season. It is not wise to attempt to grow more than two successive crops of potatoes on such new lands. A third crop is often badly damaged by scab, Scab is always introduced into new land by planting scabby potatoes and it takes from one to two seasons for the disease to multiply in the soil sufficiently to affect the new crop, the lengthof time depending on the amount of scab on the seed potatoes, and soil conditious. Scab when once in the soil cannot be killed there ex- cept by not planting any potatoes on }the piece for a number of years. Scab on seed potatoes can be easily killed and it will often pay to do this before planting, to dimish the danger of. in- fecting too much land with the dis ease. Corrosive sublimate, in propor- tion of two ounces to fifteen gallons of water will kill scab if potatoes are soaked whole in the solution for one anda half hours. This does not in- jure the potatoes. To maintain yield and quality of potatoes on old land they should be grown inrotation with other crops: One of the simplest and best rotations is, first year, smali grains, seeded down; second year, clover, with second crop turned un- der; third year, potatoes. By sowing timothy with the clover the meadow may be carried two years and potatoes planted on the sod, making a four year rotation. Whatever plan is adopted it is important to plow under as frequently as possible a sodor green manure crop, which enables the soil to hold moisture and increases the available fertility. In cutting potatoes, the number of eyes in the piece, or the part of the potato used is not so important as the actual size of the piece cut. The young plant lives upon this piece until its roots and leaves are well started. Yields of potatoes ‘will increase with larger The Reshus-Remer Land Oo. report that they located four families in this The names are: seed pieces up to whole potatoes, but the amount of seed necessary to so plant an acre and the cost of seed potatoes make it,advisable to limit the size of the piece to quarters and less. To plant quarters, putting one piece in a hill, one foot apart, it will take about fifteen bushels per acre, which is one-half wore than is usual- ly planted. HERMAN H. CuapMan. Married. H. Z.
