BIG SPEAKERS FOR ST. PAUL.
Best in Country Picked for National
Conservation Convention.

Best in Country Picked for National
Conservation Convention.
Washington, May 25.-Plans are 60
ing forward in fine shape for the ma
tional conservation convention to be
held in St. Paul in September. The
fact that former President Roosevelt
is to attend and speak has aroused
unusual interest in the event. Most
of the plans for the convention, so
far as the national association is con-
cerned, will remain uncompleted un-
til after the return of Clifford Pinchot,
president of the organization who is
now en- route from Europe.
Secretary Sh1pp of the association
has prepared a partial list of the
speakers, which includes, in addition
to Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Pinchot,
James R. Garfield, former secretary of
the interior; Frank c. Gowdy of Den
yer, chairman of the conservation
commission of that state; Newton C.
Blanchard, former governor Of Louisi-
ana; DR.. Charles r. Van Hise, presi-
dent Of the University of Wisconsin;
George c. Pardee, former governor of
California; Paris Gibson, former Unit
ed States senator from Montana; Sen
ator Newlands of Nevada, Representa-
tive Scott of Kansas and George F.
Swain of Harvard university.
Because of the many requests
throughout the country for speakers
on conservation, Secretary Shipp said
that this list will have to be doubled
before the summer is we'll advanced.

Line DRAWN ON MALT

Fergus Falls.-FolIowing the opin.
ion by City Attorney N. F. Field a few
days ago to the effect that malt sales
can be prohibited under the provisions
OF the city charter, Mayor D. M,
Brown today issued a proclamation
directing that after May 81 no malt
shall be sold in this city. This is
likely to close several establishments
here, nearly all Of the former saloon
keepers having opened places in which
malt Is the principal drink dispensed.
The mayor says:
1.-The somewhat prevailing idea that
beverages containing not more than 2
per cent Of alcohol may be sold with
out license is not the law. 1t must
have been clearly the intent of a ma.
jority of the voters to dispense with
the saloons for at least one year. If
SO, 1t Is not proper to tolerate them

DRAINAGE IN VALLEY OF RED.
General System On a Big Scale Is Be.
ing Gradually Worked Out.

General System On Big Scale Is Be.
ing Gradually Worked Out.
Crookston.-Some conception Of the
amount of drainage work being done
in this section can be realized by the
verified statement that o. l.. Hamery,
Of this city, drainage engineer, has
the supervision of 500 miles of bitches,
practically all in Marshall, Kittson
and Roseau counties, though there are
a few miles in Beltrami county and a
few in Polk.
For practically all of this work the
contracts have been let, and the ditch
es will be completed the coming fall.
Mr.. Hamery is but one of many
drainage engineers in Crookston and
surrounding territory, and thus it is
seen that the work in the aggregate is
immense. The system in this section
of the state within few years will be
in shape for tile drainage, which will
become general In the past it has
not been practical, because the general
drainage system was not far enough
advanced to furnish outlets for tile
drainage. However, few farmers
have experimental with tile drainage,
and it has proved thoroughly satisfac-
tory.
Much of the land that will be re.
claimed is exceptionally rich and has
been termed as swamp land in the
past. It has rich layer of decayed
vegetation on top and will produce
wonderful crops when the water prob
lem has been disposed Of.

TRUST MASS FUND is LEGAL,
Supreme Court Rules For Catholic
Who Provided For Repose Of Souls.

Madison, May 26.-Creation of a
trust fund for the offering of Roman
Catholic masses for the repose Of the
souls of the testator and his relatives
for an indefinite length of time is
valid according to decision handed
down by the state supreme court.
James Kavanaugh, who resided at
Maple Grove, Manitowoc county, pro-
vided by will that $4,000 of his estate
should be turned over to three trustees
charged with having masses said for
him and his relatives. The heirs at
law attacked the will on the ground
that the provision for masses was in
definite and uncertain and in violation
of the law prohibiting the creation of
a trust of the kind mentioned.
The lower court sustained the con-
tentions of the heirs, but the supreme
court reversed that judgment.

Farm School Letter
Interesting Information on Minnesota Agriculture
by Our Special Correspondent.
Demonstration Farms.

Demonstration Farms.
Demonstration farms have been
started in different parts of the state
by the division of agricultural exten-
sion of the University of Minnesota.
These farms are under the direction
of Prof. T. p. Cooper and have been
established by the aid of a committee
Of three selected by the commercial
club of the towns where they are To-
Gated and three farmers in the neigh
borhood. The farmer whose farm is
selected agrees to operate his farm
for a term Of five years as advised by
the experts sent out by the division.
He furnishes all equipment and labor
and operates the farm as decided upon
by agreement between himself and
the demonstration. A farm for the
purpose must be representative of the
locality in area, soil and type of farm
ing followed, and must be so located
that it is accessible to the largest
number Of people. The work carried
on will be entirely practical in it's
nature, and will consist chiefly in re-
organization of the farm so that it
may be Turned more effectively. Suit
able farm crop rotation will be estab.
lished which further involves the prop
or appreciation of manures, together
with wa1k demonstrating the proper
methods to use in the care and feed
ing Of live stock.
Public meetings for demonstration
purposes will be held on the farm
from time to time when desirable
methods of agriculture will be ex-
planned and shown on the farm.
Blanks will be furnished the farm
owners on which to report all bust
ness Transitions so that at the end of
the year the total profit or loss on
the farm may be ascertained.
These demonstration farms must
not be confused, as some newspapers
seem to have done, with experiment
farms. They are not intended for ex-
perimentation, but to show every
farmer, or others interested in agri-
culture, what experimentation at St.
Anthony Park and experience proves
may be done on any farm in the
state, where practical methods are
followed. The arrangement, system
and orderly classification and process
OF rotation will be exemplified by
thoroughly practical people, to enable
farmers to raise better and more
crops on present farms and better and
more stock with the minimum of labor
and expense.

.HAVENEYER'KNEN
ABOUT FRAUDS
LATE MAGNATE DECLARED TO
HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS
FROM SUPERINTENDENT
SPITZER is MAKING REVELATIONS
Underweighing Practiced 20 Years
Ago, According to Witness.-Ad-
n1its He Has Fool Not to Con.
fess While on Trial.

New York, May 26-Oliver Splitter,
former superintendent Of the docks
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany in Williamsburg (Brookly), who
recently was pardoned from the peni-
Tertiary by President Tafrt, explained
why he did not confess during the
trial which ended last February with
his being sentenced to two years.
Such confession, he declared, would
have carried him to a cemetery" In
other words he would have implicated
dead man, Henry o. Havemeyer,
late head of the sugar trust.
Splitter was under cross-examina.
ton by the defense at the trial of
Charles R. Heike, secretary-treasurer
of the American Sugar Refining com.
pany, who, with five subordinates, is
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government by underweighing
sugar. He repeated that he had made
his confession not with the hope of
pardon, but to ease his conscience,
and added that after his conviction
his attorneys, now appearing for sew
eral of the defendants, had urged him
to tell all he knew.
what did you say when advised to
confess?" asked Clarence Lexow for
the defense.
II said the only confession I can
make will carry me into a cemetery
and Mr.. Stimson (the government
prosecution) doesn't want that"
|'You are referring to Henry o.
Havemeyer?" asked the lawyer.
Eyes, I am" answered Splitter.
Began Before His Time.
This closed the court incident, but
Splitter talked more freely after leav-
ing the stand. He said he had met H.
0. Havemeyer two or three times. and
that Ernest w. Gerbracht, former re-
fnery superintendent, another of the
defendants, had made his reports d.
rect to Mr.. Havemeyer The frauds,
he insisted, had begun before his time,
although he worked on the docks 20
years.
He admitted that the steel springs
used to manipulate the scales on the
docks were his invention.
"Why did you not tell the truth in
the first placer he was asked.
Every time I look in a mirror
see a damn fool" was the answer.
II was fool not to do it, but I was
ashamed to let anyone know that ]
did these things. My credit was
good; could get anything that I
wanted. and did not want people to
know that I was fool enough to do
these things for nothing; I got moth
ing out of it.
Another reason why I committed
perjury was because I thought moth
ing could happen to the sugar trust.
We all thought the trust was so
strong that the government could not
do anything with it."

success after all.
The mother of Premier Konow died
in Copenhagen at the age of 80 years.
She was a daughter of Oehlenschlae-

she lived in Denmark. She was gift

The Cammermeyer Publishing House
is going to publish memorial edition
Of Bjornson's works. 1t is said that
the poet and the publisher agreed on
definite plans year ago. Bjornson
changed his spelling from time to
time. In the new edition the spelling
is to be the same as that used in
Bjornson's last work. This means that
it will be even more radical than that
introduced by the government a few
years ago.
The most touching feature of Bjorn.
sons funeral was the part taken by
the school children. When the funer-
al procession reached the cemetery
the children were there waiting, and
as the coffin passed them they could
no longer control ,their feelings. They
had read so much that is beautiful by
and about Bjornson that they burst out
weeping and sobbing. This unexpect-
ed outburst of mourning among the
children reacted upon the grown
people so that they too gave their
tears free course.

Corn and Oats.
During ten years the average yield
of corn in this state has been substan-
TALLY 30 bushels per acre, while the
average yield Of oats covering the
same period has been practically 80
bushels per acre. This acreage of oats
weighs in round numbers 1000 pounds,
and the corn, shelled, weighs in round
figures, 1000 pounds. In comparison
with bran at $4,000 a ton the thousand
pounds of oats is worth $3.50, and the
sixteen hundred pounds of corn is
worth $17.36. The cost of producing
corn, including rent, is $10.44 per acre,
leaving a profit of $6.92. The cost of
oats, including rent, is 1886 per acre,
leaving profit of 1904 cents. These
figures show such profit in. raising
corn as to suggest to the farmers the
necessity Of increasing its acreage.
The experiment station at St. Anthony
Park having succeeded in breeding
variety of corn that will ripen in
northern Minnesota and produce thirty
bushels per acre, there can be no
doubt about Minnesota remaining in
the corn belt; and it is believed that
by carefully breeding and selecting
seed the average yield will be greatly
increased.

It was little less than a year ago

After it was over, DR.. Sheridan G.

Mr.. Day is resting quietly and easily,
with every apparent chance for quick

The operation was for what is
