_and fish commission ye: Grand Uapids VoL, XVI.—No, 24. ie Herald-Review. | i Granp Rapips, Irasca County, MINN., WepNEsDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1908. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SGCIETY. Two Dollars a Year. GENERAL HUNTING LICENSE PROPOSED A Proposition to Merge the Game and Fish Commission and For- restry Bureau. A universal hunting Jicense tu cost all residents of Minnesota, who hunt within the confines of the state, $1, and the merging of the fish and game commission with the bureau of forestry, making the new board the forest, fish and game commission, are among the propositions which will be laid before the state legisla- ture at the coming session. Under the present law, sportsmen pay $1 for alicense only when they wish to hunt outside their home county. Under the proposed law they will pay the same fee to hunt within their home county. One hundred thousand Minneso- tans annually try their luck in the fields after small game or in the woods after large game. Under the present law only about 20,000 pay li- censes, this number representing those who journey beyond .their im- mediate neighborhood into other counties. “We are willioy to waive the anpu- al appropriation of $35,000 for main- tenance of our department if the pro- posed law is passed,” said Carlos Avery, secretary of the state game sterday. “I also hope to see the law changed which permits a non-res- ident hunter to kill one moose and one deer and toship home the deer, but not the moose. This, it seems to me is inconsistent,” said Mr. Avery. Kelative to merging the forestry bureau with the fish and game com- mission, Mr. .Avery expreessed the opinion that by making the game wardens forest and fire wardens, as well, aad. by increasing the money devoted to salaries of regular em- ployes of the commission, much bet- ter and much more efficient work in| | the prevention of forest fires could be accomplished. Al Roecker With a Gun. Al Roecker, the Grand Rapids tailor and cornet band leader, earned a Carnagie medal the other day at Bovey. Two men who burglarized a saloon in that town were caught by a policeman as they came out of the place. The Iron News says: ‘In placing handcuffs on the offenders he was assisted by A] Roecker of Grand Rapids. The policeman gavehis gun to Roecker to cover the men, and while going through the operation oneof themen madea break. Roecker tired once and the man was seen to lunge heavily against the side of a building as though hit. Then he made a get away around the end of the building.” Thirty to Naught. Hibbing sent over its fast High school girls’ basket ball team last Fri- day and played the Grand Rapids girls at the gym in the evening. 1t was a bright, snappy game through- out but the visiting team was clearly out-classed and victory remained at home with the local girls who woo out by a score of 30 to 0. After the game a reception was heid and a good time enjoyed by all. The visiting team proved themselves good loosers and entered heartily into the gayeties of the evening.

THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE ANNUAL. | The Minnesota Farmers’ Institute best books of the kind that has ever been issued. ‘The topics treated in it are not only valuable for their practi- j cability but include subjects which are up-to-date and are of general in- terest. The book contains 384 pages, is beautifully printed and illustrated, and treats more subjects than can be named here. age, clearing land of stumps, co- Operation, and other vital topics be- sides those of field and stable, alone make the book worth having. Butin addition all branches of live stock husbandry, soil culture, crop growirg and so on are treated. The only sure way to get a copy of this valuable book is to attend a Farmers’ Institute and the book alone will pay the at- tendance to say nothing of the in- struction given by the practical and experienced lecturers on the Institute platform. STUMPS, About the first problem that con- fronts the farmer in northern Min- nesota is the one of getting rid of stumps, and he finds he has to deal with this question for a number of years. The question of clearing and stumping land will be discussed at the Farmers Institute by a man who has taken a piece of wild land, just such as you bave, and has cleared it, stumped it and made a farm of it. the farmers and their families. The women and young people are invited as wellas the men. Everything will! be free; no collections, no admission fee. There will be nothing offered for sale. The Institute will be in charge of Supt. A. J. McGuire of the experi- ment station at. Grand Rapids, who will be assisted by F. B. McLeran of Wrenshall, Minn., and C. E. Brews of Elk River, Minn. ‘These men arz} doing actual work on farms in north- ern Minnesota and have been very successful in the different lines of farming they will speak on. Mr. McGuire has made a special study of dairying, pork production and general farming, all with special reference to the conditions of north- ern Minnesota. Mr. McLeran has cleared a large farm in Carlton county, and can be a great help to our farmers who have that kind of work todo. He will also vive his experience in the growing of small fruit, vegetables and poultry. Mr. Brown has been very successful in the growing of potatoes and clover and has worked out a system of crop rutation that is giving him wonder- ful results in keeping up the fertility of bis land and in producing these and other crops. ‘The new Institute Annual, No. will be distributed free at this me ing. This book contains over 350 pages of the best farm reading and the book alone is worth going many miles to obtain. QUESTIONS. 2} ITS UPTO YOU.

Many questions come to our minds about agriculture that we would like to have explained. How to feed roots; how to keep the boys and girls on the farm: the hired man question; how to test our seed; how to yrade up our cows; the best methods to follow in various work; the latest ideas in building and co-operation, and a thousand other every day questions. All of the above you have the privilege of asking at the farmers’ institute. and they will be answered by men who are paid by the state for know- ing how to answer them. CLOVER. It has been said that if all clover could be properly cured, timothy and all other hay would have to leave the market. Whether we betieve this or not, we all know that clover is the coming feature in the agriculture of northern Minnesota. While all have e s H e e - Minnesota 3 e a vague idea that clover is something great, very few understand it thoroughly or appreciate as they The various processes of stumping wili be taken up and the advantages and disadvantages of each discussed. Various devices that are used to handle and pile the stumps after they are pulled will be shown’'on charts or as models.
