All the attorneys of the county have not been seen on the subject, some of them being away from home this week, but it may be considered that no opposition to Mr. Thwing will be cers propose to have this work at- tended to on time this year.

FARMERS WILL MEET SAT DAY AFTERNOON Important Gathering Arranged by Local Farmers in Grand Rapids WILL CONSIDER UNIFORM POTATOES The Raising of a Uniform Variety of Potatoes Will Be Consider- ed and a Permanent Or- ganization Formed. Mr. A. M. Sisler of Laprai of Itasca county’s most su farmers and a dairyman that has “made good,” and one who has dem- onstrated beyord peradventure that farming and stock raising can be made to pay in this section, is inter- ested in a meeting that has been arranged for next Saturday afternoon at Village hall inGrand Rapids. Mr. Sisler has raised and shipped many car loads of potatoes from his La- prairie farm and has always founda ready market at good prices for all he has had to offer.. He is convincéd that the/farmers of this vicinity should get together on this and sim- ilar matters and operate intelligently together. It is proposed to form a permanent organization of the farm- ers at the meeting next Saturday. One of the first things tu be taken action on will be the raising of uni- form varieties of potatoes, thus cre- ating a market iu Grand Rapids and other points hereabouts that will soon become known as a center for the best quality that.can be produced, and-in quantity that will justify buyers in Jooking to this section for their supply. This plan was advocated by Supt. McGuire of the Experiment farm in one of his secently published press bulletins. The suggestion seems to bave beep well received, judging from the interest that is shown in the meeting and proposed organiza- tion next Saturday. It is to be hoped that every farmer in this vicinity will turn out Saturday. If they do the meeting cannot fail to resalt in ac- complishing much good.® This isa subject of very great importance to farmers. : Subscribe for the Herald-Review.

The yield and quality of vegetables grown in this section of the state can hardly be sur- passed. There is also an extensive market in the .cities at the head of Lake Superior and the mining dis- tricts, but for the farmers not tribu- tary there is difficulty in securing it. It is largely supplied vy wholesale shippers from other districts. This narket rightfully belcngs to the farm- ers of northeastern Minnesota and it may be obtained by co-operation among the farmers, and it is only in Wholesale dealers want. vegetables in carload lots, and of a uniform grade and qual- ity. Where a community of farmers would make vegetable growing an issne, and aim for uniformity, and co- operate in.shipping, they could com- mand.a market for all they could grow.
