HAY CROPS VALUABLE \ lie.
Swamp Lands Have Doubled the Usual
r. Acreage. -

Crookston, August 17-(Special
to the Pioneer)-One of the most
valuable assets of Northern Mime
sofa this year is going to be the hay
crop. This condition exists in the
face of the fact that the tame hay
crop is generally very short, less
than a half crop, with the wild crop
on a good portion of the farms that
are not entirely under cultivation,
much less than a half crop. b..
The vsat gain comes from the
land ordinarily considered swamp
land, which as rule is under water
all summer, but which this year has
produced an immense hay crop and
was as dry as bone since about the
middle of June. .-.
Martin Widsten, who edits the
Warroad Plaindealer and a paper
at Waubon. but who for the past
couple of months has been covering
the entire Ninth district in the in
terests of Congressman Stevenson
stated last evening that the total
hay crop would be much greater
than the average. Mahnomen county
he stated has five times the usual
hay crop now in stack, most of
which will be baled for shipment.
Red Lake county will have double
the average crop, the Beltrami sec
ton Of Polk county has cut
thousands Of acres never cut before
of wild hay, and Roseau county
has at least a double tonnage
from the swamps that have been
cut. III

STATE FAIR EXHIBITS
NOW BEING COLLECTED
Mackenzie Off on Five Day Scouting
Trip-Headquarters in Schroeder
Building.

Z W. R. Mackenzie left yesterday
for a five day trip through the country
north of Bemidjilooking for exhibits
for the Beltrami booth at the State
Fair. From the short trips taken out
around the city, Mr.. Mackenzie has
found that the farmers are getting
more interested in the Fair as the
opening day draws nearer.
Last week, he was down at Aitkin
and interviewed the man who has
charge of the Aitkin exhibit. He
told Mackenzie that his exhibit was
all ready. Never mind" Mac told
him, I'll get one yet that will rank
higher than yours"
The headquarters of the county
which have been opened in the
Schroeder building, are filing up with
grains and grasses to be used in the
county exhibit. They are all being
sorted as to size and quality and
only the best will be taken to
Minneapolis. Each exhibit taken
to the State Fair will be brought
back for the County Fair and ex-
hibited under the owners name.
Beltrami county is going to have
some big crops this fall and the
best are being saved for the Fairs.
One farmer is paying particular at
tention to watermellons, another to
cabbages, another to tobacco, an
other to honey, and so on. The
Farmers Day to be held here
Saturday is expected to bring in
several first class exhibits. =
Starting the last of next week and
continuing until time to go down to
fthe- E F.ssir,-Mr Mackenzie and an as
tsistant will spend ali Or their time
driving through the country and
picking up the exhibits the
farmers have saved. Local men
have been appointed in the four
parts of the county and they will
collect their exhibits and send them
down to Bemidji.
AS it will be impossible for every
farmer to be personally interviewed,
Mr.. Mackenzie has requested that
all who have exhibits let him know
by mail so that he can arrange for
| its collection.

MONTANA BOOM BUSTED
No Crops Being Harvested Want
Land in Belhami County.

Andrew Johnson, candidate for
the republican nomination for
sheriff, has received letter from an
old friend in Montana asking if GER
tain land in this county is still open
for settlement. The friend has been
in Montana for some time and people
out there, he says, are looking back
to Minnesota with longing eyes,
especially when they read of the
crops being raised this year in the
northern part of the state.
The letter in part reads: I'VE
have been having some extremely
hot weather here this summer and
1t has been dry. I do not see how
the cattle can live on what grass
there is here, as one can hardly dis
tinguish any grass at all, only a
short dry straw here and there.
1T is almost useless to try to raise
anything here without irrigation and
it is impossible to get water on the
largest part of the land, yet they are
focklng in here by the trainload.
have seen thousands come in here
from the East, but I have also seen
them go back disguised with what
they saw. -,
"Montana is being doomed to
maximum-lurid advertisements
being sent broad cast over the
land, hence the influx of land seek
ers. I've often thought it. North
ern Minnesota could get some of
the same kind of advertising, it
would not take long to fill up the
woods with farmers" T..
Beltrami county is raising good
crops this year and this has been
the dryest year known to many Of
the old time farmers here: The
county has shown that the crops
will come in both dry and wet
weather. The advertising that
good crops brings to a county is
better than thousand dollars
spent in printers ink.

WILL STATE DEMOCRATS
SPRING A DARK HORSE?
Linds Reiterated Refusal Mean, An

St. Paul, August 17-(Special to
the Daily Pioneer)-As was stated

for governor. t.. .
Frank A. Day, chairman of the
democratic state central committee.

Lind, mailed at Seattle on August
IL, the day on which the former
governor returned from Alaska, in
which he says, as he has SO many
times before, that he will not under
any circumstances head the demo-
cratic ticket.
This is Lind's answer to the dele
gates who went wild over the men
ton of his name and nominated him
in the face of his assertion that to
do so would be folly. >@.
The Lind letter has revived the

made by State Treasurer Dahl, of
Wisconsin, throughout the northern
part of that state he is quoted as
saying, We must offer greater in
ducements if we hope to build up
the northern part of Wisconsin.
The class of people who seek bar
gains in state lands as general rule
have not money to spare. Many
sales were lost on this trip because
the law insists that the entire amount
shall be paid. If we allow the pay.
ment of about IS per cent of the
total amount, and long time pay.
ments for the remainder, with an
easy rate of interest. more people
would buy. We must give people a
chance to build homes and leave
them something for the start"
On this trip Mr.. Dahl sold about
5000 acres of state lands for which
he received approximately fifty
thousand dollars. He expects to
write to this state for a copy of the
state law which provides for long
time payments and a reasonable
rate of interest.
The law in Minnesota on state
land sales apparently seems to be
better than the Wisconsin law for
the homesteader, but Minnesota
lands are so situated that road con-
ditlons favor Wisconsin lands.
This state has the better soil, more
moisture and equally as good a
climate as our sister state. This
country needs good roads and the
state should help get them, which
can only be done by assessing state
lands, and making them to bear
their share of expense. @
County Auditor Hay ner has sent
out letter 10 the farmers of this
and neig hboring counties suggesting
that the legislature make either an
appropriation or pass some addition
al laws il order that state lands
bear their portion of the establish
ment and maintenance of the high.

CROPS ARE BETTER HERE
THAN IN WESTERN STATES
Harvey Woodward Back From Mon
tana and Says Conditions There
Are Very Poor.
Harvey Woodward who has beer

Harvey Woodward who has been
spending several weeks in Montana
returned to this city last week and
reports that crop conditions in cent
raj and western North Dakota and
eastern Montana are very poor.
Eastern North Dakota is fair and
conditions in Minnesota are ex-
ceptionally good when compared
with these western states.
In speaking further of land and
crop conditions, Mr.. Woodward
said, We men in this state do not
realize our fortunate circumstances.
In the first place our soil far exceeds
anything they can produce in the
west. We have the soil here without
having to make it. Think of farmers
in the western states putting in hun
dreds of dollars in time and labor
to fit the soil for agricultural pur-
poses, when all we have to do here
is to clear our land of the little
stumpage and brush, pillow 1t up and
it will at once yield crops that west
ern farms do not produce until after
several years of soil fertilizing.
Water conditions out there are
simply fearful. One would have to
to walk miles to find a drinking
place, and then he should have the
water tested as to its purity, while
in this country one can walk less
than a mile in any direction and
find cool spring brooks with pure
drinking water"
Mr.. Woodward seemed far more
enthusiastic over future prospects
in Minnesota today than he has any
time heretore. 1t seems a shame
to think of farmers and home
seekers being ]ured into a barren
country and right across the best
spot on Gods green earth in order
to get there. 1t must make home
sick to learn of the opportunities
overlooked in this great state.
Land men predict an influx of
home seekers into this territory by
the thousands during the coming
year. We have waited long time,'
say they, but the time is ripe for
the rush right now.'"
