While in Grand Rapids as the}, judge in the live stock and poultry at the fair Ray Donovan was ask-| 9) hoi)’ waste fuel and are ed as to what he thought of the Itasea County fair The ques- tion was asked with the expectia- tion that he would give a straight answer without any white wash- ing or undue commendation and he gave it that way. His opinion should carry considerable weight Lecause he is out over the state for the agricultural extension de- partment and has had a chance to see what others have been doing. Donovan says that “considering the Itasca county fair from the stand point of climate and location it is years ahead of almost any other county fair in the state and is making as rapid progress as possible. The greatest need just now, judging from a live stock view point isa first class draft stallion. The horse exhibit was weak. The dairy cattle class was ex- ceptionally good and broughit out a number of excellent individuals in each class. The vegetables, especially the potatoes, had been selected with! regard to quality and not size ag is so often the case. In the indvidual farm exhibits, considerable taste was shown in arrangement and design and in- telligencee in the quality of articles selected. This required very close scoring as there were but 1q@ points between 2nd and 3rd. The township exhibits were excellent and reflect great credit on the parties arranging them. A/ suit- able house for the exhibition of poultry is an immediate need. It can be seen that there are some of the best poultry pens in thig county. and according to the plans of a number of farmers there will ke many more by the next fair time, sothat this house should by all means be built in ample itime.” FARMERS GIVEN SELLING ADVICE A way for the farmens of North- ern Minnesota to get the best re- turns for their products is pointed out by H. H. Bowley, manager of a} co-operative fruit marketing asso- ciation of Minneapolis. Mr. Row- ley urges the farmers to beware of the buyer that represents several! competitive commission — hiouses. He declared that these buyers were out to get the produce at the lowest figure, destroying compe- tition between the purchasing houses, but giving the farmers the small end of the profiits. To illustrate his statements, Mr.! Rowley told of the market condi+ tions that confronted the berry raisers of Bayfield, Wis. when they tried to market their fruit ‘this season, “I went down there to get fruit for my association,” said Mr. Row- ley to-day. “There I found a man representing five bigs commission houses in Minneapolis. I had been there several days but had not bought a single crate of berries. He wanted the growers to consign their berries to the various houses and said that they would be given a good price after the berries were sold. “The growers refused to do this and thimgs were at a standstill when I arrived. Then when the representative of the ‘big five’ found there was another buyer in the field he changed his tactics, He offered a fair market price for the berries and the growers were|Should begin early, and be prac- able to do business.” — The Potato The People Want. The most persistent mistake of potato raisers is the effort to raise monster potatoes. If they were pedding the spuds by the measured bushels and could induce anyone to buy their elephants there mighti be the greater profit in raising the big one. But for years the market buyers|they will permit eradication of have been trying to educate tha/the weed wihtout losing the use farmers that what the housewife|of the land—Andrew Boss, Agri- and eaitmg house wanted hart orgy University the moderate-sized potato. These} Paul. users have learned three things: Finst, the retailer buys by the pound, but nearly always sellsby the bushel measure, and whien the user buys a bushel of big potatoes measured, he comes considerably short of getting a bushel of 60 lbs. Second, the overlarge potatoes are very often hollow on otherwise faulty at the heart, with a result- hing waste. Third, they take too long to bake nob ready when their smaller brothers are unless cut in halves or thirds. To this general campaign for “the potato the people want,” E. Willard agricultural expert for the Northern Pacifci,has contribut- ed a valuable article,following care- ful investigation. His object was to find beyond question just what the market wanted; he was suc- cessful. At hotels; restaurants, stores and everywhere he found those in charge sorting their supplies to get for service and for sale a uni- form moderate sized potato. Many private customers will take no other size, the big ones and little ones mixed are run off on the less panticular, who always get ie worst of it. The point to the farmers is, that this sorting costs money and that they are ithe ones who pays for it. They pay it in the less price they get for what they sell, and this Money to Loan ONIMPROVED FARM LANDS If you need money to improve your farm, or to pay up mort- gage drawing a high rate of 1n- terest, send us a description of your property and state amount wanted.

GRAND RAPIDS discount is made large enough to cover all contingencies and extra charges. The farmers have learned by a similar experience, that it does not pay to try to market mixed potatoes, that is those of different varieties. Their next lesson is that it is equally unprofitable to market those of all sizes. This is just as unwise as to market dirty grain, hoping for a good nature they never found they would pre- vent excessive dockage. The farmers who get the high- est prices and maxe the most mon- ey. are those who prepare their product before marketing, so that it cam go direclty from them to the table or the mill without : ded expense. As Mr. Willard says, the extra big potatos, like the little ones, should never leave the farm. Quack Grass. Where a field is badly infested with quack grass it shouldbe plowed from five to eight inches deep as soon as the hay or grain crops is removed, preferably early speaker, in August.

The very rich accord- ing to this speaker want monar- chy or a government as nearly as possibleto such a form. In this countya few have been domi- nant in the political councils and this number have been growing fewer during the past few years. His explanation as to the reason for the organization of the Bull Moose party was that a whole raft of little millionaires have been looking at the growing influence of the few and these numerous lit- tle fellows decided to revolt and@ take the government away from that select few. He explained though that) these little Moosers do not want to go as far as Socalism. No, they are simply looking after their own in- terests or in other words express- ing their class interest. Then he said in speaking di- rect to the working man present, that the onlv party to which he could belong and serve his interest is the Socialist.

MAY DRIVE FORTY MILE RAGE AGAIN There may be several more racea from Grand Rapids to Hibbing as a result of the recent forty mile race between these points. Wil- liam Messner, who was the first to start and who arrived at the pole at Hibbing just 48 seconds behind the winner, Frank Banks, says that ‘he was given a wrong signal on. the route whereby he was deprived of about four min-+ utes.! This he says cost him the race. Not being satisfied he wamts to mace Banks over again for a side bet of $500. Banks has signified hiis acceptance of the offer and it is reported that the trial willl take place in a short time. Elmer Shannon of Chisholm, algo wants to run the race over again with either Banks or Smith and may ask to get in the contest. It seems to be a contest over cars more than any thing else and it is probable that the tcom- panies are arranging the new con- test and putting up the money. Banks and Smith drive. Velie cars, and Messner has a Kissel, while Shannon drives a Case. Socialist Gave Address Last Wednesday evening, A. ;E.

Recently in a sermon a minister in a nearby Minnesota town, spoke upon the progress of religious thought and the attitude of reli- gion to science and of science to- wands religion. In his discounse he quoted the following letter which board of Laneaster, Ohio, in the year 1828, just seventy-five years ago to a parfy who wished to use the ‘school house. “You are weleome to the use of the school house to debate all pro- per questions in, but such things as railroads and telegraphs are impossibilities and rank infidelity. ‘There is nothing in the word of God about them. If God had de- signed that his intelligent crea tures should travel at the frightful speed of fifteen miles an hour by ‘steam, He would have clearly foretold it through his holy pro-. phets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls to hell.” Possibly our vision is limited im a great many ‘things as was the vision of this school board. Fairs Still To Be Held.
