Farmers About Duluth to
Make Experiments in Rails
ing Vegetables.
THE LOCAL FARMERS MIGHT
FOLLOW THE SAME PLAN.
Sugar Beet Could be Raised With
Profit in Beltrami
County.

The following clipping from
the paluth News Tribune on
beet sugar culture in Minnesota
should be Of great interest to
Beltrami county farmers:
"A few representative farmers
about Duluth will be furnished
with two pounds Of beet seed
each by the department. Of Aggri-
culture according to letter re-
ceived yesterday by Secretary
Evaof the Commercial club in
Z reply to arequest for information
in regard to the clubs plan Of
introducing sugar beet culture
in this section.
"The seed will not be given to
a large number as was hoped by
the club, but the agriculturists
who apply Immediately will have
no trouble in securing plenty. A
] letter was sent also to the state
authorities asking aid in regard
to the plan, but no reply has
Bt4en lSceived. It is expected
that G1ough material will be re-
caiyed from the authorities in
| st. Paul to furnish all settlers who
wish to try the new plan.
SSThe soil in this vicinity is
sgid to be Of the right kind for
the profitable raising of the
vegetable, which is in other local
fties revolutionizing the method
of sugar manufacture, and the
clubs efforts to interest the
farmers are meeting with sue
cess.
"Several have already shown
their willingness to give sugar
beet raising a trial and it is ex-
pected that enough names will
be handed to Secretary Eva to
take all of the seed which the
agricultural department is will
ing to give them. 1t will cost
the farmers nothing to make the
experiment., and if it is success
full will mean much to them. :
; The soil about Bemidji is ideal
for sugar beet culture, and better
for this purpose than that near
Duluth. Sugar beets could be
raised with profit in Beltrami
county, and there is no crop
from which the farmer can make
more money. If it could be
demonstrated that this variety of
beet will thrive hereabouts the
bstab blishment of a sugar factory
night easily follow.

THE APoTHEos1s OF THE AUTO.

1t the fashion of the world to become little bit
hysterica anything that is offered in the way
of sport. That is why the magazines just now
filled with articles laudng the automoble and that is
why many editorial writers in editorials both lengthy
and profound gravely protesting discover that the
automobile has been direct from heaven to cure
every i'll that is heir to.
Julian Brisbane Walker thinks the automobile is
going to solve the traffic problem that confronts New
York and other large cities; another not so we'll
known but equally enthusiastic claims that cross coun-
try tour in of the fascinating puff wagons will
every disease that has afflicted humanity In just
the the bicycle it will be remembered was
deifed; and go Also when it first introduced
into this country In couple of years followers
of the cult will be willing admit that the
bile has its limitations and the puff wagon will rank
with all the other sports that public enthusiasm has
porariy placed pedestas.
The same people of the word-that is, the people
who do not autos just now-are only concerned in
framing such regulations for enthusiastic chaueurs
will insure safety of life and limb to those who have
not the price to pay for machine So long the
orty of people have to walk the rights of the pedestrian
will be of paramount importance, and these must be
carefully protected until sanity returns to all who have
succumbed to the destinations of this modern devil
The thing of course, that will make for de-
in the popularity of the automobile will be the
lowering of the prices asked for the machines
There is nothing that quickly pulls down fashona-
bic idol the knowledge that the hoi pollo are also
privileged to worship its shrine In the case of the
automobile this, of course, will happen for few
years In the meanwhile, it behooves the civic author
tiles to look after its devotees little.

THE CASE OF MRS. SHOOK.

Now the announcement of the claim of Mrs.
Shook that she has attained the advanced age of
hundred and three because she has lived diet that
has consisted principally of pie and ice cream. Of
course Mrs Shook entitled congratulations but
just the same she has added to the complexities of a
question that already compexed enough heaven
knows. Most people desire long life, however much
they may talk about short and merry one, and most
people willing enough to follow any that will
increase the number of their years.
But there's the rub. How is anybody to know what
system of exercising, what kind of diet, should be
followed in order increase the span of life? Says
centenaran whose standing in his village precludes the
suspicion of deceit "Im hale and hearty hundred
and one, sir, simply because have smoked and
never touch drop of strong drink of any kind"
And hearing it, all who would follow in the steps
of Methuseah aside their tobacco and turned their
backs resoluely wines of all colors Then genial
young fellow of one hundred and two with wink
that bears testimony his youth, soemnly declares:
whisky! Why, bless you drink it every day. and I'm
without my pipe" And if the would-be centena-
rians principles stronger than his love Of life,
he straghtway adopts the pipe and whisky method.
These two extreme views disconcertng enough,
but they do begin represent the variety of testi-
mony that is brought forward prove Individual
sons for longevity Some centenarans disdain all exer
else and others insist that they have always made
point to walk ten miles every day of their lives Some
vegetarans and others write testimonials which
knowledge their indebtedness diet. But
ly of all these, Mrs Shocks testimony is the most dis
concerting. Pie and ice cream! Why it makes the whole
matter of diet inconcusve the woud-be long vers

But the matter should be settled. Let humani-

will not hesitate at sawdust. But he have some
