The Cass Lake Times says of hte | new officials: ‘Messrs. A. G.

At the close of the meeting of nesota at Duluth tion was adopted amid much enthu- siasm calling upon the commissioners | of the different counties to cease is- suing liquor licenses in agricultural districts. This resolution was adopt- | ed unanimously and may be the be- | ginning of a concerted action to | Prevent the sale of liquor in any | place not having adequate police pro- | tection. The conference was well at- ; tended and agricultural instructors from all over the section were pres- ent. Supt. McGuire of the Northeast | cipal speakers, devoted to practical suggestions on crops and methods, and incidentally | pointed out some of the resources which are open to the farmers of the state through the medium of the county agent. “The. soil of this section requires crop rotation to yield best returns,” he said. “After trying 32 rotation schemes, I find the best crops to be oats, clover and potatoes. The latter is the most important money crop. Alfalfa should only be cultivated on rocky soil and on hillsides. For live stock, the ordinary dairy cow is the most profitable to raise.” - Commissioners’ Meet'ng. At the meeting of the board of county commissioners yesterday the preliminary steps were completed for turning over road and bridge bonds of the county to the Duluth Securi- ties company, the purchasers. George A. Elder of the bond company, was present and aided in getting things in readiness for paying over the money. In the afternoon Commissioners Nel- son, King and Passard left for Be- midji, where they held a conference with the commissioners of Beltrami county relative to a proposed road from Blackduck in Beltrami county to Good Hope in Itasca county. They will also inspect certain bridges in the town of Wirt while on the trip. Bids for a bridge across Swan River on Road No. 137 south of Marble, were opened and read, but no action was taken on them. Child |Burned at Keewatin. Leo, the 17-month-old son of Mr. |and Mrs. H.
