4 é 4 3 i 4 COHASSE IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE COHASSET, MINNESOTA, SEPTEMBER 25 1912 BOOST FOR COHASSET \ > WHEN THE SOIL NEEDS LIMING Farmers May Have Soil Tested Free of Charge at Agricul- tural College It has been pelieved by authorities fora long time that the soils in Min- nesota contain plenty of limestone, which, it ig hardly necessary to state, is absolutely essentia] for plant growth. An abundance of limestone Prevents the soi] from becoming acid; and an acid soil restricts the growth of farm crops. The growth of alfalfa and clover, or any of thelegumes, is rendered impossible when the soi] is acid, as the nitrogen-gathering bac- teria which live on their roots and contributed to the plant’s growth can- Bot live in an acid soil. The results of soi] analysis at the Minnesota station would indicate that notal] of thesoilin Minnesota con- tain plenty of limestone. There is plenty of evidence to prove this con- tention. During the past week twen- ty-two samples of soil were tested, cf which fourteen were acid. The ma- jority of the fourteen acid samples were extremely acid. This does not Mean that the same percentage of Minnesota soils are acid, but it does mean with other preof which we have, that there is considerable soil in the state whose’ productiveness would be improved by liberal appli- cations of limestone. Minnesota soils must contain lime- stone if they are to be productive. The use of lime to improve the soil is as old as agriculture, itself. History tells us that the Greeks used much marl and ashes—lime is the principal ingredient—before the Christian era. |‘ Roman writers speak often of lime; and in England, several] centuries ago, the farmers removed chalk from the sub-soil to be used as fertilizer for the lime which it contained. In the United States much liming is done in the eastern and east central por- tions. Maryland, Pennsylvania. New York, the (New England states, IIli- nois, Indiana, and Ohio perhaps lead in the use of limestone. The Illinois Experiment Station has completed a soil survey of many coun- ties to determine the exact character of the various types ofsoi] and learn the exact lime requirements of the acid types. Minnesota should have; the acid soils within her borders lo- cated so that lime can be added and the productivity of her fields and pas- tuues can be raised. No better ser- vice can be rendered the people of th state. This should be accompanied by a soilsurvey, so that types or areas! of soi] of certain formation could be mapped and studied from this stand- | point. There are many sources of lime- stone in this state where lime can be economically purchased to.be us- ed as a fertilizer. It is generally mot very expensive, the price rang- ing from $1 to $4 per ton. In the im- provement of the soil, there are five principles to be observed—the con- trol of water, principally by drain- age; ample humus in the soil; good tillage; fertilizers; and an adequate supply of lime to make the soil sweet and free from acid. The last principle should not be forgot- ten- Farmers believing their soil is acid or sour may have a sample tested free of charge by sending it to me.—W. H. Frazier, assistant pro- fessor in soils, Minnesota Agricul: tural College, St. Paul. COHASSET TO HAVE: LYCEUM COURSE Course of Five Numbers Secured by Business Men From Neeley Lyceum Course. Fifteen Cohasset business men hay pledged a sum sufficient to guarantee an excellent lecture course here this winter securing five numbers from the Neeley Lyceum bureau. The first of the numbers will be a stereopticon lecture by O W. Blaine “Across the Seas,” to be given Thurs day evening, October 10, at the vil- lage hall. Dates for the other numbers have not yet been arranged, but the list of coming attractions include the Rick- etts Concert company, the Katherine Smith company, musical] and litreary; Hon. Aaron S. Watkins, lecture; and the Meneley quarter, with Raymond McCord as impersonator and reader. Season tickets for the five num- bers will be sold at $2.00 and child- ren’s tickets for the season at 75 cents. It is hoped that a liberal pat- ronage will be given the course, as the numbers are all high-class en- tertainments and deserve liberal sup- port. WILL BUILD 2,700 MILES OF HIGHWAY State Highway Commission Planning for Big Work in Coming Year Contracts for the construction of 2,700 miles of highway in Minnesota next summer will be authorized by the State Highway Commission next winter. Of this 700 miles will be en- tirely new road in the northern part of the state, and will be constructed under the Elwell law enacted by the last legislature. The highway engineer is at work mapping out the work for next sum- mer and arranging to have all the ‘surveying, stumping and sand haul- ing done this winter so that work may be commenced promptly on the actual road work in thespring.

Deer River, Cohasset, Warba and Bigfork and Hill City. Reports from all sections where threshing has been done tell of the heaviest crop that has ever been raised in this section. Heinrich Bros report. one piece on the Collins farm that ran 80 bushels, while Mr. Thornberry, with the R- J. Guile ma- chine, reports several] that will equal, if not top, that record. Taken altogether, the farmers of the Cohas- set country have nothing to com- plain of the way of crop yields this ‘season, That pure bred fowls pay in this district, is evidenced by a sale made by Homer Wright this week to H. J- Smith of Larimor, N. Dak,, Mr. Smith purchased five young pullets and a cockerel from Mr. Wright, pay- different methods of road building. With this preliminary winter work it is believed that practically all of the 2,700 miles mapped out for the coming season can be completed be- fore fall. | 1erarscosrersrrcortectecetertectrereteegeegreteeteetettoeteaty Cohasset Locals Mr, and Mrs. Clark were in from their farm at Deer Lake Tuesday, Mrs. Dickie and daughter, Mrs. Dau left Monday for St. Paul, where they: will make their home infuture.

The cement work on the new; po- tato warehouse is finished and work commenced Tuesday on the upper part of the building. A scarcity of carpenters is retarding operations. somewhat but W. C. Parker, who has the work in charge, expects to have the warehouse ready to receive po- tatoes by October 10, although the puilding will not be completely fin- ished by that time. It is expected that potato digging will begin gen- erally by about the first of October. The new warehouse will have a ca- pacity of approximately, 20,000 bushels. Mrs. J. L.

So, while the mines of the state are supporting by inter- st on the permanent funds the schools of Minnesota, this fund is also aiding other states to build schools and universities by being a source of securing finances. The total permanent trust fund created from the mines will be shown by the report to amount to $27,210,- "67. The sales during the last two years of timber,mineralg and agri- cultural lands have added to the per- manent trust fund $2-771,936.15. The auditor’s biennial report will show the state treasurer has cash on hand in this trust fund $2,135,- 619.65, Payment. Oh, Charles Adolphus, go your way and paint the town from day to day, until you’ve had your fill; but every foolish act, gadzooks, is charged against you in the books and you must pay the bill. Onething is sure as death and tax, which is that ret- ribution whacks each erring mortal jay; long years may pass, already yet, before you’re called to pay the bet, but some time you must pay. Go, rake in wealth with greedy paws, and violate all moral laws, and cheat and swindle still; but some day— maybe when you're old, and love seems better far than gold—you'll have to pay the bill. Oh, loafer, loaf the hours away, and waste the golden summer day, refuse to toil or till, When winter comes and workers rest in cozy homes, of ease Possessed, you'll have to pay the bill. Oh, maidens, radiant and fair, who use peroxide on your hair, and kal- somine your cheeks; who twist your systems all awry until the gods look down and sigh, “Oh, pipe the dizzy freaks.” With all your paint and fur ; belows, and shoes that crush your aching toes, you’re surely out to kill but when the glow of youth is past, and age comes creeping on at last, you'll have to pay the bill. Each foolish action that we do, each wick- ed course that we pursue, we settle for some day; the captain's office open stands, where we must face this world’s demand, and some time we must pay.—Uncle ‘Walt. Brief Decision The bee is a very busy thing and the bee’s product advertises the hive extensively. And yet the bee also carries a sharp reminder as a side line that nobody seems to want, al- though many get it. The wasp and the hornet are also clever self-ad- vertisers upon opportunity, although they have no legitimate goods to market. The rooster has an easy time boost- ing the hens as the hens do the real work in the poultry industry. Yet the rooster struts and crows around just like the ordinary advertising man, and gets in a good deal of what may be called barnyard pub- licity- The jack ass makes noise enough to sell any line of goods on the mar- ket, yet he is a better kicker than salesman. Men strike for many things which they achieve after great effort. but content—one of the most valuable of human possessions—comes anoth- er way about. A larger number of persons might be good all the time if those among their acquaintances who really are good all the time did not look so monotonously meélancholy.—Judge. A.C.
