Warren Gets Some. too.

The influx of settlers at Warren
has been very heavy all this month,
but they have not come so many at a
time. The Pioneer Land Company

have located here SO far this spring.
Some of them we have given before,
and their names are repeated to show
the total number of arrivals. They
are: John Gehrke. who has the Stone
farm; John H.Smith, e e, sec. 20,
Angus; c.. August johnson, Searls
farm; G. R. Wood, Jarrett farm;

FREE FARE TO

Great Northern Will Take Con
test Winners to st.

Prof. Mithun, Superintendent of
schools of Marshall County, has re-
ceiVed an offer from the Great
Northern Railway to furnish round
trip tickets free of charge to the
winners of the grain growing contests
sealnty that they may attend

on. Prof. Mithun has the blanks for
getting up premium lists in this
county and will soon be in position
to make public the prizes to be COM
peted for.
The outline of the plan of tI ese
grain growing contests is this: The
pupils of the public schools, rural
schools especially, are expected to Sc
lect seed from the grains most acces-
sible to them, that used by their par
ents on the farm are preferred, and
to sow and care for the seed so select
ed and when fall comes the produce
is to be entered at the county con-
ests, for Judging, under the auspices
of the Farmers Club of Minnesota.
The grains designated are wheat,
oats and corn. Farmers and business
men who are interested in the out
come will be canvassed for premiums
to be awarded the winners within
the county. -.'
The winning exhibits in each
ccanty will be taken to the State
Agricultural School at St. Paul and
entered TO- the state contest which
will be held under the auspices of the
Minnesota Field Crop Breeders AS

that the Great Northern will furnish

Andrew Grenlin's Experience il
Growing Tame Grasses.

Andrew Grenlin's Experience in
Growing Tame Grasses.
After we had written the article
found in another column urging The
sowing of grass seed, we fortunately
care into possession of some in
teresting facts relative to the subject
from the experience of Andrew Gren-
in, who farms in sec. 80, town of
Warrenton. Mr.. Grenlin has general
ly kept set off Fl acres of primitive
prairie on his farm for a pasture.
On this piece of land he pastured
four COWS, the feed some years being
not over abundant. The other year
he decided to break up this piece of
land, seeding II acres thereof to tame
grasses, white clover and timothy.
Last summer he kept in this smaller
pasture two head of horses and four
COWS, and cut besides eight loaos OF
hay thereon, and could easily have
cut eight loa s more. Mr.. Grenlin s
experience is a fair illus ration OF
what tame grasses will do in this
country when given chance.

CR00KST0N DAY AT
FIRE TOURNAMENT
County Seat of Polk Wants to
Break Away For a
Good Time.

The Crookston Journal of yesterday Y
states that there is a desire on the
part of some people down there to
come to Warren by special train and
take day by themselves at the fire
tournament next summer. We give
the article as the Journal had it:-sea..ss
There is talk Of having Crookston
day at the Warren Fire Tournament
in June and running a special train
up from this city to carry those who
wish to attend. ..t..
The, project is one that should be
encouraged by every one who is in
business here or who is interested il,
the prosperity of the city. Nothing
would be better for the city than to
get into closer touch with the neigh
boring towns and villages and great
deal can be done at such times as
this.
The tiremen's tournament for the
state will be held there in June and
there will be a running team and a
number OF delegates from this city
to the tournament but combination
of the tiremen and the business men
would be all excellent thing.
The matter will be taken up at the
meeting next Tuesday night OF the
Firemen. il"
Apparently our sister city is ach.
ing for an invitation to come and
make merry, and if Warren doesn t
see that it is extended we deserve tC

Crookston is not the only cit Y that
would be capable OF making good use

Planting Trees Urged.

''Every farm should have from five
to ten acres planted in forest trees,''
says President Worst of Fargo Agri-
cultural College. ''It would greatly
improve the appearance of the land
scape and in short time become a
source of profit. 1t has been de-
monstrated that five acres planted
with the right kind of trees and pro-
perly cultivated will, at the end Of
six or eight years be more profitable
than the same area planted to wheat
or other grain.
After the trees are we'll started
they need no other attention than
that necessary to prevent fire destroy
ing them.
1T does not cost a great deal to
plant and care for five acres Of tim
Der and the investment is one of the
best landowner can make. For
looks alone it is worth more than the
cost, and for future fence posts, fuel.
etc., hve or ten acres of timber will
prove Of great value.
''Such varieties as American elm,
soft maple white and green ash,
blackberry and Carolina poplar do
we'll, and box elder answers a good
purpose as a nurse tree, to be re-
moved as soon as the trees begin to
crowd each other. The cultivation
required is about the same as corn
should have, but cultivation becomes
unnecessary in about five years. By
that time the dead leaves will be
sufficient to keep the soil in a loose,
moist conditions, such as trees re-
quire.
II feel certain that, all other
things being equal, quarter section
of land containing five acres of good
healty timber five years old, as
against a quarter section with no
trees on it will outsell the later three
times the total cost of the trees.
If it will not, then the buyer-well
the less said, Perhaps the better.
But plant trees. They beautify the
landscape; they make both sum- me1
and winter more agreeable; they
make the growth of small fruits pos
sible and tney elevate the minds and
hearts of of men. No equal expend-
iture of labor and money will so i'm
prove the farm as that used for the
purchase, planting and cultivation OF
trees for a future fuel supply shelter
belts, or for ornamentation. For
explicit information as to species
that will thrive here, where obtain
ed, how to prepare the soil, how tc
plant and how to cultivate them,

Bulletins will be sent on request. y

ON The SCENT OF TRAITORS.

THE last election has LETT the Democrats OF
4 the lower counties in worse condition than
they have been for long time. One faction is
accusing the other OF aiding their political OPP
ponents and, according to the Smyrna Call, the
good Democrats are hot on the trail of the trait
ors, and they do not propose to lose it. What
they will do with them when they are rounded
up is difficult to say, The truth is that the
Democratic factions are still at each others
throats and there is no way 20 bring them tor
gether. Notwithstanding efforts to whip the
party into line the prospects are that the Demo-
Gratis will sink to a thoroughly dscredited mi-
nority. Among them there'is dissatisfaction over
the platform and the way the last campaign was
conducted The party, as one Of the defeated
candidates aptly said stood for nothing, and
therefore had no grounds upon which to appeal
TO the voters for supporth0
There is strong element masking as Demo-
Gratis who are determined that the party shall not
march on to victory. When the Legislature
meets the Democrats are likely TO have as lively
time scrapping over their c&Scus nominee for
senator as the Republicans will have in their
caucus deciding who is to be the next senator
With the Democrats it is merely an empty honor
But some Democrats do not wish even empty
honors to go to their factonal opponents.

SALARY SYSTEM FOR COUNTY OFFICES

are paying for The new. system is Vast inn
provement The change is but another deevop-
ment of Republican control Of the State. In the
old Democratic days the sums gathered by fees
and through msmanagement Of the Levy Court
were enormous. The people remembered the
record of the Democrats during their hey day Of
success, and it is no wonder that the Democrats
failed to gain the confidence of the voters at the
polls. Whether Delaware shall remain perma-
nenty in the Republican ranks depends upon the
conduct OF the State and county affairs by the
party. Each member Of the Legislature should
remember this when he considers measures that
will be brought before that body for action.

about that Had Bryan become clergyman he
