impoverished soil, like impov-

fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking i'll it. 1t may be you

The annual meeting Of the Olivia
Canning factory resulted in the Sc
lection of c.. A. Helms president, o.
A. Norman vice president, Nels
Swanson treasurer and H. H. Neu-
enburg secretary. The meeting was
satisfactory one. 1t was voted to
pay directors 81 per day for their
work while serving on the board,
and also to request all intending
growers of sweet corn to drop into
the secretary's office and sign a con-
tract to grow grain before March

yards, which was about to be shipped
by Chas. F. Wendtland of Jackson

started by W. G. Frank, cashier OF
the State Bank of Springfield, to
recover payment on note of $500,
together with interest for six years,

Wendtland is now at his home and

Acting under what he supposed
authoritative instructions from the
doctor the cow was returned to the
herd from which it came and, to-

The Lamberton Commercial club
seems to be of the opinion that the
people of that town ought to own
the local exchange, or that the town

mittee was appointed to bring about
the desired result, and the committee
is now. in conference with the Of
ficers of the Minnesota Central Co.,

the latter all of its property inter-

A bulletin from the State Agri-
cultural college entitled Rural
School Agriculture" received at the
office last week contains instructions
for those who wish to enter the con-
test for the prizes offered for seed
grain raised by students of the pub
lie schools. These instructions may
be obtained fro"l the county super
intendent through the teachers in
the schools or by writing to D. D.
Meyne, St. Anthony Park. In con-
Quoting the experiment the Bulletin
says it is thot best to include in the
work only the common grains,
wheat, oats and corn, giving an in
troductory chapter on seeds; their
parts, termination, selection, weight,
classes, etc. Definite rules for score
cards and judging will also be in
Guided for the benefit of the teach
ers and judges of the contest. Upon
the basis Of these rules it is planned
! to have a contest in each county and
in the state. The contestants are to
be the pupils of the schools, both
boys and girls. Prizes amounting
to more than $4,000 will be offered
for the best grains grown in each
class. The winners in the county
contests will carefully keep their
samples and send them to the ones
in charge of the state contest. Here
they will compete for grand state
prizes. The county contests may be
planned as best suits the local con-
ditions or the desires of those in
charge. The county contests will
be held under the auspices of the
Farmers club of Minnesota, while
the state contest will be under
the auspices of the Minnesota Field
Crop Breeders association.

GoOding'S CanlDaiau,

Governor Gooding will begin his
campaign at Salmon on the even
ing Of September pa, and will con-
tinue from then on until election day.
He expects to spend about two and
a half weeks in the north, and will
speak in many of the more import
ant cities in the northern part of the
state. Governor Gooding, although
making no claims of oratory, proved
in the 1904 campaign that he was
singularly effective on the stump
The directness of his statements, his
evident sincerity, his manifest desire
for the best interests of the state,
its institutions and its people, and
the tremendous loyalty of the man to
his state and country, win to him the
golden opinions of those who see
and meet him. Coupled with this he
has record of two years of almost
marvellous achievement in state af-
fairs. He has everywhere been it's
must OhcCliNc duNcItlScI. II is not
wonderful that throughout Boise are
posted offers by the speculatively in
clined, to wager two TO one on his
election, nor that those who are close
students of political affairs are in
sistent in their claim that his major
ity this year will be much larger
than it was in 1904, despite this is
what is termed an on year.--Po-
