Mr. Hughes iis ome of the prosperous farmers of the Sugar Jake district and reports crops looking excellent there . One of the finest window displays that is being accomplished. A large tract is being taken care of here by boys and girls of the Grand Rapids schoo's, who are Jearn- ing an interest in growing vegetation! and in watching the result of their labor develop through this practical department of school work, which provides an interesting occupation for a short time each day during the vacation period. At Cohasset the pupils who have taken schoo] garden work are raising vegetables on land newly cleared this year. An interesting feature of the work at Cohesset is that the gar- den this year is on land newly clear ed, and Prof Holmes is making care- ful notes to see what new clearing will yield during the first year. Com- missioner O’Brien donated a tract of an acre to the school garden work for three years, with provision that it be cleared and fenced. Prof. Holmes plans to spend the summer months in visits to the farm} of the district, studying the agricul- tural methods that are being pursued and offering suggestions when neces- sary. He believes that this plan is even more efficacious than calling meetings to discuss the problems of north country farming. “To me, the greatest problem that farming in Itasca county presents,” said Prof. Holmes, “is getting the land cleared. I wish that the Com- mercial clubs: would devise some plan to furnish the farmers with cheap dynamite for stumping the land. This hes been done in several instances by individuals and farmers’ clubs, but it seems to me that the commercial clubs w- the country could | jdo their greatest work toward de- velopment by giving the farmer a chance to get his dynamite at cost. Getting the land cleared is the big problem at present.” Many & man never discovers how flat-footed he really is until he is trying to make his getaway from the leap year girl. ese make love while the moon shines- 4 COLOSSAL CARNIVORIAN _ INSTITUTION Every Act A Feature Thousands of Dollars Invested Two Perrormances Datty | AT 2 and 8 P.
