The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-01-13

In the cut-over lands within the
territoy that Duluth is the immediate
market for, there are hundreds of
men who are demonstrating, with
much larger gain to themselves, that
the soil will do even more wonderful
things than Mr.. Hartley has brought
it to do in the matter of raising
celery.
There are scores of instances that
might be cited to show where men
farming in very small way have
done approximately as we'll in pro-
ducing for the Duluth markets those
garden products which, until very
lately, had to be brought from great
distances and which command prices
here equal to those paid in New
York.
But the Hartley experiment was
based on the assumption that the
very worst looking lands, Doggy
swamps and sparsely timbered Sec
tons were good enough for the
practical farmer if those lands were
properly cleared and drained. In
the course of his experiment., which
has been carried on on a scale to do
away with the idea that there was
any sort of local advantage in the
situation. Mr.. Hartley has demon
straled that there are none of these
lands so barren of wood but they
may be made to pay for the clearing,
except in the absolute swamps or
burned lands, which yielded little
marketable wood.
Mr.. Hartley's farm is located just
beyond Floodwood on the Great
Northern road, so odd miles from
Duluth. There are 800 acres in the
tract which he is engaged in clear
ing and it lies along the right of way
of the railroad through a country
that was so rough and Doggy in
spots that there was absolutely no
settlement, except that which was
incident to the numbering operations,
until within few years. 1t cost the
railroad a great deal of money to
its right of way through the
swamp. and men looking for lands
would have nothing to do with it.
1t first commended itself to Mr..
Hartley as a hunting ground. He

WONDERFUL FARMING AT
HARTLEY'S ISLAND FARM
Farm in Middle of Moskeag Produced Big Crop of Finest
Celery Ever Grown.-Practical Demonstration of
Value of Swamp Land.

half tons of celery day during the
summer season, as we'll as storing
enough to get the high prices of the
winter market.
1t was beautiful celery to look at,
delicious in flavor, crisp and juicy
to crackle between the teeth in a
manner to start the gastric juices
of dyspeptic, with never a sugges
ton of a hber-and it brought more
in the Duluth market than was paid
for the best of the outside product.
The story of that celery is striking
but not unique. &C. Hartley, who
bought, cleared and drained the
land and raised the celery, was ex-
perimenting. That despised mus
key was to him the very place to
try to grow celery, and to grow
many other things. He put in GEL
cry first as business proposition be-
cause he wanted to 90 the entire
DISTANCE in trying out the land and
demonstrating the possibilities of
gardening.
The splendid results of the venture
in celery will have a tremendous edu-
cational effect-it has had already.
1t has shown that there is immediate
profit in the application of practical
methods to the clearing and reclama-
ton of the soil that has hitherto been
neglected in the country about
Duluth, neglected because of the
tangible richness in more obvious
form-lumber and minerals. Mr..
Hartley has done only what any
practical farmer with limited means
can do in a small way and at an
expense reduced to-the minimum by
the application of personal energy to
the actual manual labor involved.

Duluth News-Tribune: Nj e
thousand dozen punches of celery
were marketed in Duluth this year
as the product of four acres of mus
key that was SO swampy that it
would mire saddle blanket last
spring.
That muskeg was about as fine a
sample of the abomination of desola-
ton as one would wish to see a
couple of years ago. 1t never did
carry marketable big timber and
what wood was left on it when the
man who raised the celery bought it
was not calculated to arouse the
cupidity of the lumberman. 1t
would have been written down as
practically worthless-condemned
on its looks. The celery raiser was
was not a professional gardener by
any means, but he had ideas of his
own about the possibilities of that
kind of soil and he had the courage
of his convictions.
He bought the land and had a
good deal more like it-though
much better to look atm the same
vicinity, so miles west of Duluth.
He hired men and paid the highest
market wages for the labor and he
took off the wood down to the last
stick available for pulp or box wood
and that is drawing pretty fine.
He sold the wood for enough money
to clear the land and to pay for it.
He dug bitches and drained the mus
key and he put manure on those
four acres and planted celery a
month later than it should have
been planted, according to the men
who knew all about celery. And he
shipped as much as two and, one

BIG BEMlDG QUINT EASILY
WON THE SATURDAY GAME
Redeemed Themselves for Loss of Fridays Game to Grand
Forks.."Visitiug Team Was 0utplayed at all
Stages of the Came

The Big Bemidg" basketball
team turned the tables on the
strong independent team from
Grand Forks, N. D., Saturday even
ing, when the visitors went down
to defeat, by a score of II to 7,
the locals showing an entire rever-
sal of form from Friday evening,
when the Grand Forks quint won a
game, defeating the locals by a
score of 1S to 49,,
The game Saturday evening was
characterized by very rapid work on
the part of the players of both
teams, the big Bemidg" bunch
simply smothering the best players
of the opposing team.
Especially was this true in the
playing of O'Keefe, the crack for
ward of the Grand Forks team, who
was responsible for the majority of
the scores obtained by Grand Forks
on Friday evening. Professor Bid
dinger, who played opposite O'Keefe,
covered the latter very closely; in
fact, O'Keefe did not get a single
chance to shoot the ball for the
basket, and was never very danger
Gus, due to Biddinger's whirlwind
playing. In fact, the little professor
was on top of O'Keefe and had him
surrounded" before he could get his
bearings.
Josesh Markham, forward for the
locals, was the bright star of both
teams. Markham outplayed every
man on the opposing team. He
was sure on his feet, accurare in his
passing and threw two baskets from
the field that were-realIy phenomenal.
Joe" scored 9 of the II points
secured by Bemidji, making five
field baskets and throwing one bas-
ket from a foul. -
Brown ( center and captain of the
Bemidji team also did phenomenal
playing, Saturday evening. The
center (Oliver) was an
exceedingly tall man, standing feet,
5 inches, being half head
taller than Brown. The Bemidji

MAY GET STATE FIREMEN
MEETING IN BEMIDJ|, 'o9
Paul Bolan Of CIoquet Has Resigned as
First Vice President Of the
Association. " s..

There is a possibility that Bemidji
may secure the annual meeting of
the State Fireman's Association OF
Minnesota, during 1909, providing
the firemen Of the city, the CONNER
cial club and the city council and
citizens generally put their shoulders
to the wheel and 'boost'' unitedly to
that end. . - s.. IL.
It is the custom of the State
Association of Firemen to elect vice
presidents for some three years
ahead, which secures the meeting of
the association for town or city
the year that the elected vice presi-
dent becomes president. .~
The first vice president for this
year was Paul Bolan3 of sCloquet,
which gave the annual meeting to
Cloquet for the year 1909. Bolan
has recently resigned his position,
which throws the election of his sue
cessor into the hands Of the execu-
tive committee. This committee
will meet in the very near future
and 20 to Cloquet to look over the
ground relative to holding the
annual meeting there next year. Be-
midi fremen believe they can get
the meeting for this city, and will
make every endeavor to have a men,
Der of the local fire department
elected first vice president, to sue
coed Bolan of Cloquet. A COM
mittee consisting Of J. ]. Doran and
E. H. Cornwall has been appointed
to handle the matter for, the Bemidji

found an elevated bit of land in the
midst of the swamp that offered a
site for hunting lodge and there,
in the wilderness, he built him a
lodge and was wont to resort there
for the pursuit of game. Gaining
an intimate knowledge of the country
through years of tramping over it,
the fact forced itself upon him that
this rough country would lend itself
readily to drainage state of affairs
quite common even in the toughest
part of this section. He went de-
liberately to work to acquire the
lands surrounding the site of his
hunting lodge and he has developed
it very rapidly. The hunting lodge
site was so conspicuously dry, as
compared with the surrounding
country, that it was designated as
an island and the place is known as
Island Farm. =.
1t iszabout two years since the
work of converting the swamp into a
farm was-begun and when the work
of this winter in clearing is finished
there will be about 600 acres freed
of the covering of tamarack, spruce,
balsam, birch and other small growth
which had been =disregarded by the
lumberman. From the farmstead on;
the island, fine sweeps of meadow
and garde;. lands stretch away.
bitches drain the swamp and. the
fields stand out level and ready for
the crop maker. Here and there
little punches Of small timber have
been left to which cattle: resort in
the summer. Down through the
swamp tall poles with futtering flags
indicate the line of a great state
ditch which will be put through in
the spring to carry the surplus water
from the lands recently purchased
by other parties for improvement.
The island" proper is the site of a
comfortable farm home.
Here Mr.. Hartley has established
a model farmstead with all the in
cidentals indicated as economical by
the experience of the best farmers,
and the owner himself did not have
to depend altogether on the expert
ence of others for he has been farm
ing on a more or less large scale for
IS years.
With knowledge based upon
experience, the buildings were all
laid down on paper first, for in
this country it is we'll to do nothing
haphazard. The farmers must make
the best of the sunshine for the

captain rushed Oliver off his feet,
several times. keeping him from
scoring but once, the score being a
flu can accidental push
during a mix-up under the goal
sending the ball into the basket.
Hebron, at forward, played
against very strong guard but
easily outplayed his opponent, being
especially good in passing the ball
out of danger.
Peterson, at guard, was consider
ably bothered in caring for his man
(Holmes) who is very rapid
player, being especially quick on
his feet. Peterson was inclined to be
unsteady on his feet, but altogether
held Holmes fairly we'll.
Roy Lindsey refereed the game,
and A. L. Cunningham officiated as
umpire. The crowd was inclined to
roast" Lindsay on what they
thought were decisions favoring the
visiting team, but from an impartial
standpoint, Lindsay was fair and
impartial in his rulings, the strong
aggressive playing Of the local team
resulting in many penalties for fouls.
The two games played between
the Big Bemidg" and the Grand
Forks team indicates that Bemidii
has one of the very fastest basket
ball squads in the entire northwest.
The team lost Friday evening game
mostly through over-confdence, and
listlessness during the latter part of
contest. Another factor was the
absence of Collins, one of the very
strongest PLAYERS on the squad.
With the entire first team intact it
is doubtful if the Grand Forks team
can, at any time, defeat the locals,
even for one game.
Two teams picked from the
players on the high school girls'squad
played an interesting game, between
the halves of the big game.
The girls showed considerable i'm
provement over the previous even
ing, and their playing was generally
much better.

knowledge of which way the winds

1~AAO "A~Ne3S VI "AAASAA Woy&SAS WlANG
will blow from, generally helps in
laying down buildings in such
fashion as to get away from the
force of the winds. So the build
ings on Island Farm are grouped
in such way as to take advantage
of the sun and to escape the force
of the winds. There is great barn
in which four-score head of graded
stock is housed. The cattle looked
slick and clean in their quarters
the other day and they are rarely
allowed to run out, except in ex-
ceptional weather There are yards
for the sturdy young stock, but
outdoors is no place for mich cows
at this time of year. In a roomy
yard there is thoroughbred Jersey
bull, his 1900 pounds of weight
well spread and carrying in him
self the promise of an improve
ment in the grade of the stock of
the farm for the future though
there are no scrubs on the place
now. Just outside the barn there is
a pump house which drives a fine
water supply into. tanks under the
roof of the barn, and under this
same roomy roof there is storage
for 5000 bushels of grain. There
is a place for the feed mill and the
grain is brought down automati-
cally and fed in proper proportions
as to weight. It is not even neces-
sary to take the cattle out of the
stalls for watering, for the water is
piped into the managers. The cattle
are bedded with the peat taken
from the bog and dried, and
excellent and cleanly bedding it
makes. In a word, the barn is mod
ern, but there is no waste and no
frills-peat costs nothing but the
cutting, and straw is valuable
asset. -.
Under the roof of the barn there
is a machinery shed big enough
to house everything on the place.
Off from one side of the barn there
is the dark storehouse for roots and
celery. Here the natural tempera-.
ture is just right for storage. The
temperature has been raised by
digging into the earth and allowing
the natural warmth of the ground to
come up through a grating. The
idea is ingenious and establishes
condition that is just right. 49,,
There is hog house with plenty
of yarding for the prospective pork
ers to sun themselves; a chicken
house; a stable for the horses--and
here there is fine pedigreed Per
cheron stallion; hot house in which
the celery and other plants are
brought to proper state for trans
planting; there is an ice house and
cold storage for meats and foods.
The quarters for the work people
flank the residence on one side and
out beyond there is a little school
