POINTERS AS TO THE FARMS.
What the Bankers Learned on Their
Trip to Madison, Wis.

st. Paul, Nov. 6.-Comparisons and
recommendations tending to the bet
terment of the Minnesota agricultural
college are to result from the trip of
the executive council of the State
Bankers association to Madison, Wis,
on Saturday. The delegation, twenty
strong, returned to Minneapolis Sun
day morning well pleased with the
trip.
"We made the trip to look into Wis
consin farm school methods with
view to applying such improvements as
could be found to our own school
methods and curriculum said Secre-
tary Frost yesterday. eve were par
ticularly impressed with the fine or
ganization of the departments, soil
analysis work and sub station estab-
lishment
Professor Hatch, who has charge of
the extension work, gave us a nice
talk covering the work of his depart
ment. Professor Otis, assistant to the
dean, took us in tow and showed us
over the big institution One of the
features which he impressed upon us
was the method of seed inspection
whereby men are sent from the school
to all parts of the state to show the
farmers how and where to get the best
seed and how to prepare the ground,
soil analysis being included under this
same head. All this is done without
cost to the farmers"
The organization of the graduate
substation system was another fea-
ture which particularly impressed the
Minnesota visitors. These sub-stations
are being established in all parts of
the state and the meetings are becom-
ing SO popular that it is with diff
Guilty the crowds are cared for, ac-
cording to Wisconsin school officials.
The bankers will make similar
tour of inspection of the Minnesota
farm college within the next few
weeks.

STREET CAR STRIKES HORSE.
Accident at Front and Jackson Street
Saturday Evening.

While O. w. Briggs was driving
mail wagon across Front street at
Jackson at about seven o'clock Satur-
day evening, two street cars were en-
countered, passing each other on the
crossing. Mr.. Briggs saw only the car
nearest to him, and after it passed he
drove on, and the other car struck his
horse and knocked it down. The horse
was not hurt much, but the harness
was damaged. The thills flew up and
broke several windows in the street car.
The motorman stopped the car at once
and it did not drag the horse any. The
mail wagon escaped without injury.
The rig is the property of Eugene Coy.

intendent and Mrs. f. j. Sperry, Prin
cipal j. G. Norby and wife and the
other members of the faculty of the

bunting and japanese lanterns and
sun shades land members of the fac
ulty directed the guests.
The receiving line was composed of
Superintendent and Mrs. Sperry, Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Norby and Miss
O'Donnell, with Professor A. NJ.
Brace as introducer. Half of the
guests were given questions and the
other half answers, written on slips
of paper land they were asked to find
the corresponding question or answer,
and in this way everybody got mixed
up in conversation with everybody
else Some games followed, in which
the students joined with zest, and
then all were summoned to the as
sembly room, where an interesting
musical program was carried out.
Miss Nellie Nitzkowski rendered a
piano solo so we'll that she was
obliged to respond to an encore. An
amusing character song was given by
Wallace Murphy, impersonating girl,
and Ernest Jones, representing bash

to bring down the house. Misses VIC

a piano duet in an artistic manner.

Wed responded with them, and a Sc
lection was sung. A chalk talk by
Gilbert Fletcher was a fitting close to
a most interesting program. He ap-
peared at his best, and kept the audi
ence seething with merriment by his
humor and sketches, which related
mainly to the accomplishments OF for
mer high school football players.
A buffet luncheon was served in the
lower hall, and the $50 guests present
were served expeditiously with a very
nice and tasty lunch, consisting of
cake, coffee, pickles, Boston brown
bread, etc. This was a pleasant finale
,of most enjoyable evening.
When the time for leaving came,
all were surprised to find a mixture
of rain and snow coming down, the
walks wet and the air chilly enough
to penetrate winter wraps. Nobody
had expected this, and many wet
feet resulted, not to mention damp
ened garments.

Reading By Miss Bates.

Read1ng BY MISS Bates.
Miss Sara Ruth Bates was greeted
with goodly sized audience at the
Baptist church last night, and but for
the fact that there were attractions at
the high and normal schools, and
also big lodge event, Miss Bates
would doubtless have had a much
larger audience. Miss Bates has
most pleasing presence, and her var
led program showed that she is q
reader gifted in many styles of elo-
dictionary work. Miss Bates read Sc
lections from Van Dyke, Paul Law
renee, Dunbar and James Whitcomb
Riley in very finished manner, and
Mankato people will be glad to know
that there will be another opportunity
of hearing her on Sunday evening
when Miss Bates will read at the
1870 evening service at the Baptist
church.
Mrs. Katherine Gray and Lester
Davies both assisted in the recital
program of last night. Mrs. Gray
sang two selections, "The Years at
the Spring" and "The Cradle Song
both of which were especially delight
lful numbers. Mr.. Davies was in his
usual good voice and sang for his
song numbers, "Sing Me Some Quaint
Old Ballad" and I'm Wearing Ava
to the Land O. the Leal."

The following reply:
Washington, DC, February 6, 1909.
Mr.. j. C. Buston,
Tazewell Va.
Dear Sir Your letter OF February
2nd in regard TO tomato rot has been
referred TO this office for attention.
The trouble described appears to be
the so-called point-rot, n disease that
is quite common throughout this Sec
ton and which was especially pre-
Valent last season. 1t is trouble
which has not yet been fully work
ed out, so that there still remains
some doubt whether il is due Who'll
~ or in part To the action of para
site. There is no question whatever
that soil conditions greatly influence
its occurrence, il being much worse
on light or droughty soils. 1t can in
many cases be controlled 10y planting
the tomatoes in Il soil well supplied
with organic matter and literally
watered by nature or otherwise. 1t
is also II very desirable plan To spray
with Bordeaux mixture, especially
rs this treatment will also control
the leaf blight, which is frequently
as injurious TO tomatoes rs the point
rot.
We send You under separate cover,
rs requested, our Farmers Bulletins
243 and @3. Yours truly,

Pathologist in Charge.

THE LEGISLATURE

The important fact should not be
overlooked that members of the Leg
isltaure are 10 be elected this fall.
So far the gubernatorial candidates
seem to have been considered only.
The best men possible should be sent
to make our laws-and guard the in
terests Of this great section-a man
OF force and progressive business
ideas and ability. We presume, of
course that the representative from
this section will be a Republican.
No Democrat, however liberal, will
be sent from this section. Taking this
for granted, and fact already set
tied, We modestly suggest, the names
of two young men, either OF whom
would make good representatives,
viz: Mr.. j. Powell Royal and Mr.
Henry s. Bowen. Mr.. Royal did
we'll as representative, and would
be acceptable TO the Democrats. Mr..
Bowen would bring 10 bear practical
and progressive business ideas, and
make a representative worthy of his
constituency. We have no intima-
tion as to whether either OF these
gentlemen would accept the nominal
ton IL rendered them, and without
being presumptuOus or wishing To
butt in" where we may be suppos
ed TO have no business, we suggest,
that our Republican friends will
make no mistake in sending either of
these young men TO the next Legisla-
ture.
