Two Dotiars A YEAR. 1 The Fifty-second senatorial district. is nominally Republican and under ordinary political conditions there would be small bupe of the election ot a Democratic candidate to either branch of the state legislature. It appears to be different, this year, however, if we may judge from the expressed opinions of prominent Re- publicans throughout the» district. The rank and tile of the Republican party in Itasca, Aitkin, Carlton and Cass counties are by no means satis- tied with the material that has repre- sented the district at the state capitol during the past two years, at least, witb the exception of Senator McCarthy. Noyes of Carlton was a was a nouentity. This condition material. There are good men, able; bonest and progressive, in the Re- publican party of these four counties, but for some mysterious reason they remain in the political background.

The prospects for high wages for men employed in the lumber camps was never so good ae now. Reports from Blackduck, Bemidji Grand Rapids, Duluth and other outfitting points indivate a svarcity of .men and a corresponding sharp advance in the price of labor in prospect. Big wages are offered for railroad laborers, woodsmen and mechanics. At present carpenters are at a prem- ium. During the week agents of Walker and Akeley at Blackduck scoured the village, offering $3 per day and board. ‘They wereavanted to build*camps preparatory to the opening of the logging season. Their efforts were of little avail however as all the men in that call- ing have been literally buried in work in the village, in fact build- ing improvements are in some places at a standstill for want of mechanics and proposed buildings are awaiting carpenters to start them going. Probably the heaviest operations the coming fall and winter in the immediate vicinity of Blackduck will bg carried on by the Shevlin- Carpenter Co. Several spurs from the M. & I. have been and are now under construction which pierce some rich timber belts and prepara- tions are made by this firm to cut millions of feet of timber. This will require a large number of men. Besides this last mentioned firm others while perhaps not quite on as large a scale, will employ ‘hun- dreds of men in the logging indus- The movement in cedar pole and posts promises to be exceeding heavy this season. One of the firms preparing for a big cutin this line is the Chicago Lumber com- pany. ‘This firm is buying all the stumpage available and has already acquired several hundred acres ad- jacent to the village. Camps are now beivg constructed on their pro- perties—one of which is only a few rods frum the depot. men immediately. Workmen are paid by the piece and it is said that good wages can be made.—St, Cloud Journal Press. Mr. Squier a} few days ago said he needed 300)’ Good Yield of Oats. The yield of oats on the experi- ment farm for 1902 averaged tor the whole farm 40 bu. per acre. This included some Jow land, where oats had been sown with grass to bring in the latter. For fields in good tilth the yield averaged higher as was shown by the vields of the varieties grown on small plots on soil which was fairly representative of the better fields. Thirty vari:ties were grown for trial, and the yields ranged from 69 bu. yer acre to 35 bu. The late cold season caused some kinds to do better, than oth- er’s. The best yield was from two varieties imported from Belgium. Last year these same kinds did not d> as well as many others. This shows the necessity of testing a number of kinds for four or five vears to determine the best as is done at the experimental farm. A five year test shows some varieties to be persistently good yielders un- der all conditions while others may yield well for a season or two, but will not average with the rest. The improved ligowo oat was selected in this manner from thirty kinds two years ago. Many promis- ing new varieties were obtained at th t time from widely different sources, including the northern coun; ties of Europe, and a prolonged test may show one or two of these super- iur to the Ligowo. This vear, due to the lateness of the syason, which ripened grain two wecks after the usual date, the oats which were sown May [2th yielded 50 bu., while those sown April 18th gave only 40 bu. In an ordinary sea- son the result has keen just the re- verse, the early sown oats last year ielding 14 bu. more than thosesown May 9th and in general, early sow- ing is far the best. The experiment in sowing oats on fall plowed or spring plowed land, resulted in a yield of 62 bu. per acre on fall plow- ing, done Oct. 15th, and’ 54 bu. on spring plowing done April 20th, the oats sown the same day, April 26th. The land used was corn Stubble. Corn and potato land if fall plowed for oats hastime to settle, absorbs more moisture, and will usual- ly give better results, especially if spring plowing is delayed. It grass seed is to be sown with the grain Jt is still more important to plow in fall, as the grass necds a rather firm séed bed.—Herman H.
