BELTRAMI COUNTY MAY
GROW THE TOBACCO PLANT
Soil Here Is Favorable the Growth Of Tobacco According
to the Opinion Of George Welsh. State Commits
sioner Of immigration.
George WEIGH, state commissioner

George WEIGH, state commissioner
Of immigration, is of the opinion
that tobacco-growing could be en-
gagged in with profit by the farmers
of Beltrami and adjoining counties,
and that superior quality Of the
weed' can be produced on the YER
dant soil of northern Minnesota,
the wonderful producing quail ties Of
which are beginning to receive
acknowledgements as III front ranks
of agricultural lands.
Mr.. WEIGH has prepared letter
giving the results obtained by Eber-
hard Heibel, a farmer living at Clear
Lake, Mimi, whose land is in nature
very similar to that of Beltrami
county.
Mr.. WEIGHS statement, in part, is
as follows:
Eberhard Heibel, a prominent
farmer Of Clear Lake, Minnesota, has
been experimenting the last two
years with the cultivation Of tobacco.
He has procured the service of an
expert tobacco grower, Mr.. Theodore
Hegland, Of Madison, Wis. The
past season he has grown crop of
twelve acres. The results obtained
are promising for the future. Mr..
Hegland who stayed around Madison
for some time this fall, tooka sample
of this tobacco along, and everybody
who inspected it thought it was better
than the type grown in the state Of
Wisconsin,"
The soil, upon which Mr.. Heibel
is growing his tobacco. being Of
average soil in that vicinity, is a
very rich, sandy loan, and consists
according to the writer's judgment,
of about Is per cent sand, the rest
being silt and clay.
The tobacco was sown about
April 18th. The first was trans
planted June 10th, and the last July
9Th. It was harvested between the
first and the Goth Of September.
The curing shed is 28x2oo feet, and
built at nominal cost. Its capa-
city is about IS acres.

BASKETBALL GAME WITH
GRAND RAPIDS THURSDAY
Manager of the Grand Rapids Team lnsnuates That They
Can Put Up a Rough Came if the Locals
Act That Way.

Big Bemidg" will face the Grand
Rapids basketball team on the floor
of the Coliseum tomorrow evening
in what will probably be one of the
hottest games of the season.
Big Bemidg" will play with all
her regular men back in their old
positions. Joe Markham, one of the
stars, will be there" at forward,
after being absent from the last two
games. Cell will assist Markham
in making the baskets, while Bid
dinger and Peterson will be placed
at guard and Brown will occupy
the center.
With the Bemidii boys playing
in the above positions, the locals
are fairly confident of defeating the
fast team from the east.
The lineup of the Grand Rapids
five has not been sent here, but it
is definitely known that Jerome
Meyers, the redoutable football
player, is captain and is playing on

The seed was sown in what is
called cold bed, but it was found
advisable to prepare the ground as
for hotbed in this state. The
covering being of cheese cloth, glass
not being necessary. The plants
were transplanted by machine.
"A sample of this tobacco was
sent to the Wisconsin Experiment
Station for examination, and the fol-
lowing is the report received from
Prof. r. P. Sandsten, who has
charge of the tobacco investigation
Of that station.
Mr.. Edward Heibel, Clear Lake,
MINI.
My dear sir:-Your letter of
recent date was duly received. also
received the sample of tobacco that
you sent. I have examined the sample
and am really surprised at the quality
of the tobacco. While I previously
know that tobacco could be grown
in Minnesota, as I had some ex-
perience with it myself at st. Anth-
ony Park, I was nevertheless much
surprised at the quality of the
sample. There is no reason why
this should not make good binder
if properly handled. It seems to be
cured all right.
OF course it is too early to say
how this tobacco will sweat-out, and
what flavor and burning quality it
has. This can be told after it has
gone through sweating and fermen-
tation. If you do not sell your crop,
I think it would be wise plan for
you to retain a case of tobacco for
at least a year in moderately dry
place. This tobacco in the box
should be. packed quite tight with
the butts towards the side, and
should hold 800 or 400 pounds. This
should Be left 70 stand for about. a
year, when you can tell what the
burning quality is. The quality of
tobacco sent is the same as we are
growing in this state. Mr.. Calkins
got his seed from us. To me the
tobacco looks very favorable, and
/ have no doubt but what you
should make success of tobacco
growing in your state. It is very
important though that the farmer
should start right, as failure in the
beginning is very apt to upset the

the fire commenced and succeeded in

Mrs. Lawrence had her left side

Two unknown men, who were sleep

The injured were given medical

supposed, by the explosion of lamp

composed of heavy canvass and
paper tackled to the studding and
was very infamable. The fire gained

nothing being saved. The flames

destroyed although the contents were
saved.

NORMAL COMMITTEES
MAY VISIT NORTH TOWNS
This Action Would Be UnfayorabIe Be-
fore a Sixth Normal School Is
Established.

st. Paul. Jan. 81, 11:38 a. M
Especial to Pioneer. The normal
school com mittees Of both the house
and the senate will visit the different
towns which are aspirants for the
location of the proposed sixth
normal school, if the senate COM
mittee will concur in the agreement
reached by the house committee at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon.
The meeting of the house com
mittee on normal schools was called
to order at ESQ p. m. and wrestled
with the proposition to establish a
site for the proposed school, some
pretty "sparring" being done.
Cass Lake continues to be deter
mined to railroad its bill through
the committee and pass the same in
the house, McGarry claiming the
earth and enough votes in the
house to carry his bill through in
spite Of any other measure for the
school,.
There is no doubt that McGarry,
ably assisted by members of the
Duluth delegation, at first had the
school cinched for Cass Lake but
heroic work on the part of the
Bemidji delegation, aided by menu
bers Of other towns, has changed
the sentiment somewhat and many
are of the opinion that if the Cass
Lake bill now went through the
committee and came to vote in
the house, the measure would be
defeated.
Bemidji, Theft River Falls, War
rem and Park Rapids have made
an amicable agreement to stick by
a general bill adopted by Repre-
sentative Kinds which leaves the
location Of the sixth normal to the
state normal board.
Strong objection is made to the
committees of the house and senate
making q junketing tour and trying
Ito settle the question Of site before
passing bill to establish sixth
lschool, and strenuous work will be
done to prevent the trip for the
best Of reasons.
Efforts are being made today to
have Hinton, chairman Of the senate
committee, give a public hearing
Of the committee to listen to argu-
ments in favor Of a general bill. Il
