BELTRAMICOUNTY
Is Given High Praise for Its Ex-
hibit at the Minnesota
State Fair.

ing fair week attracted more at
tention than that of Beltrami
county. One of the newest
counties in the state, with not
more than per cent of its area
under cultivation, this county
made a showing that was a cred
it to Northern Minnesota. s
The exhibit was artistically ar
ranged by the superintendent, j,
L. Reynolds, assisted by 0. G..
Schroeder and H. E. Palmer.
The background was designed to
represent the primitive forest, Of
which 96per cent of the county
consists. There was the front
of a settlers birch log cabin,
surrounded by pine boughs, from
which hung the head of a moose
on one side and a deer on the
other. In front Of the cabin stood
a shock of grain upon which
were mounted pair of grouse.
On one of the walls was portrait
of old Chief Bemidji, for whom
the county seat of Beltrami was
named. On another wall was a
large photograph showing a herd
of cattle from Bemidji grazing
in the forest near the town. It
is said by experts that no herd
of dairy cattle in the country
does better than this herd of
cows from town, pastured on the
native grasses.
The country produces ninety
varieties of these grasses, and
thirty-forr of them were shown in
the exhibit. Tt was the most
complete exhibit Of native grass.
es on the grounds.
But this was not the only line
lin which Beltrami excelled. 1t
had the largest Hubbard squash
and the largest rutabagas and
carrots in the agricultural hall.
They had one rutabaga that
weighed III pounds. They also
had some winter radishes that
opened the eyes of the farmers
from the older parts of the state.
A feature of the exhibit which
attracted more attention than
any other, however, was two to-
bacco plants, fine, healthy speci-
mems, one of which, known as
the "Gen. Grant" variety, is a
native of the Northern climate,
and the other, a fine specimen of
Havana tobacco, was grown from
seed raised in Cuba last year. 1t
was fully as thrifty and well
grown as the Northern variety.
Both had matured we'll, showing
that tobacco can we'll be grown
in Beltrami county.
There were some fine speci-
mems of corn, well matured. The
small grains showed were of ex-
cellent quality. The fax was
said by by the judges to be the
best specimen on the ground.
There is but one threshing
machine in the whole county, so
the samples of small grains had
been failed and wfnnowed in the
old fashioned way. They had not
been run through a tanning mill
either, but they were all of ex.
cellent quality.
There were many varieties of
potatoes, but the one of which
the exhibitors were most proud
was the Schreckengast Beau
ty, new variety developed by
Sam Schreckengast, the German
farmer who raised the tobacco.
Every variety of vegetable and
melon grown in Minnesota was
and the specimens were
we'll matured.
But the exhibitors were chiefly
in showing that their
county is q natural stock and
dairy region. The samples of
native grasses and forage plants
proved this conclusively. Besides
the native grasses referred to,

the Republican leaders. as 1t contra
diets the claims OF their press bureau,
their speakers and their campaign
hand book. which, IN elaborate detail.
deals with the general prosperity OF
the workingmen.
THE press bureau at the state COM

special emphasis on the fact that
wages are higher than ever before.

vance of wages. proportionately, has
been greater. Some time ago the
press bureau had published in nearly
every party paper in the state state
inert comparing the wages and prices
OF commodities during the last few
years. 1t showed that wages have ad
vanced more rapidly than the cost Of
living.
THE political hand book goes ever
further by showing the prosperity o.
each county. The speakers have
taken their cue from this hand bool
and the press bureau. and have
echoed the statement that there hal
been an increase in wages. Only re
Gently at meeting OF the South SID
