GROWING TOBACCO
IN THE NORTH
Bemidji Man Furnishes Interesting
Piece of Agricultural Information
to Minnesota Farmers

One of the most interesting pieces
OF agricultural information comes
from Bemidji, where it is announced
that the growing of leaf tobacco is a
success. 1t will mean a great deal
to northern Minnesota if the growing
of tobacco can be depended on for a
crop.
In central Wisconsin the growing OF
tobacco is a great industry, and
Dane county, Wis, produces an ex
ceptionally fine quality of the leaf
for the use Of cigar wrappers. The
dispatch from Bemidji says:
III. j. Smith, who owns farm &c
miles south of Bemidji, is raising a
crop Of leaf tobacco that is attracting
wide attention from all who have been
at his home, because of the unusual
excellence Of the northern grown
weed that affords comforts to de
yotees of the pipe.
sMr. Smith brought a sample leaf
Of the tobacco to this city today and
placed it On exhibition. The leaf
measured four feet in height, and was
finely developed. Another of the
leaves was three feet long and Is
inches wide. According to local ci
garmakers, the leaves are worth from
18 cents to $3.50 per pound
This is the second year that
have raised tobacco says Mr.. Smith
and am certain that it is a success
full and profitable crop. If it was
generally known by the farmers in
this district that 81, 900 worth of to
bacco could be raised on one acre
they would consider the matter more
thoroughly and tobacco raising woul6
become more general hereabouts. The
plants which have on my farm can
not be excelled anywhere in the Unit
ed States except in the far south.

BIG THREsH.Ne YIELDS

O. P. Oseth, of Bigwoods, reports an
average of SO bushels of oats on his
farm.
James Clausen who did the thresh-
ing on the Riverside farm in Boxville,
owned by Johnson Bros, reports that
20 acre field of barley yielded $3.50
bushels, or 81 bushels per acre, and 6S
acres of oats gave 1850 bushels,
weighing 4S lbs to the bushel the
quality being so excellent. The stand
ard weight of bushel of barley is 80
lbs. Such big yields on large fields
and not on small patches deserve
more than passing notice.

equality. In a small town we are all
acquainted but in the city many do
not know their next door neighbors.
There is much of good and much Of
evil in a large city. But fortunate is
the boy or girl who is privileged to
grow up on the farm instead Of either
a large or small city or even vii
lage.
Our homeward journey was more
full OF adventure and we experienced
on it all the pleasures Of touring and
a few Of the disadvantages. But this
epistle is getting too long for this
weeks paper and we reserve the &C
count for next week. u. p. M.

GOOD ROADS ARE
URGENT NEED
NEXT a YEARS SHOULD SEE
eREAs PROGRESS MADE IN
ROAD SlLDING-THE ELWELL
LAW "a. BE A GREAT HELP
Anyone |

anyone mas Travelled to any eX-
tent on the-~antry roads of this state
realizes that better roads is one of the
urgent needs of nearly every locality.
In many places, the condition of the
roads after a. heavy rain is a disgrace
to a civilized community. Under the
present method of building and caring
for the public highways, we cannot
expect, nor will We ever get, anything
better. Nor is it right and reasonable
in our opinion to throw the burden
OF constructing and maintaining the
roads entirely upon the farmers. City
people use the roads, perhaps just az
much as they do, and should contrib
ute something toward their upkeep. It
frequently happens that the roads get
out OF repair in the busy season when
it is impossible for the farmer to do
any road work. In order to have
good roads always, the roads should
never be allowed to get out of repair.
A small break is also more easily fix
ed than big one. Competent road
builders ought to be employed for the
season and it should be their duty to
keep the roads in their district in
good condition at all times. There
must be more scientific road construc-
tion. There is no excuse for the ex-
istence Of mud puddle on the top Of
a hill, nor even at the foot of a hill.
Many roads can also be greatly i'm
proved by more diligent use of the
split-log drag.
Under the Elwell law, it is possible
to get good roads at the least burden
to anyone. Inasmueh as the three
big counties pay half of the state tax
and no one county can get more than
three dollars from every hundred
raised by state taxation, the smaller
counties are going to get back more
than they pay. st. Louis county alone
pays in to the state treasury under
the quarter mill tax about $4,000. It
can get back not more than $4,000. It
is fair that the cities should pay; good
roads in the country help the cities
and only one member of city de1ega-
ton in the last legislature voted
against this law
How does it affect the settler? Will
it break him with the assessment on
his land? If the county prefers to
pay one-half and leave the other half
to the state, there will not be an as
sessment. But suppose one-fourth is
assessed to the property benefited
Suppose it costs 81 500 a mile to build
the road. Onefourth OF $500 is
$4,000. That would be borne by the
property. Suppose the court assess
| ed the benefits three miles on either
side of the road. That cost would be
shared by 3,s40 acres. 1t would come
to ten cents an acre, say eleven cents.
That can be spread over ten years.
Que cent an acre year for ten years.
is it worth that much to any man to
be within three miles of a good road
or not?

SEEING MINNESOTA
IN A TOURING Gar
AN ENJOYABLE AUTO TRIP TO
THE STATE FAIR BY A PARTY
OF WARRENITES

Mr.. and Mrs. Nels e. Bystrom and
son, Gerald and Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
Mattson, returned last Friday from
their long automobile trip to the Min
nesota State Fair. On the whole il
was the most enjoyable trip the writ
er has ever had and every member OF
the party is more enthusiastic than
ever over touring by auto. There is in
deed no more pleasant mode of travel
ling, especially when the roads and
the weather are both good, and as far
as pertains to seeing the country and
enjoying the scenery, the automobile
| is certainly way ahead. One would
suppose that riding so far would be
tiresome, but it is not The fresh air
one inhales and which is actually
forced into the lungs as the car
speeds along is really eXhileratlng
and after days ride one feels really
rested and refreshed. There is little
or no dust when travelling by auto un
less one follows in the wake Of anoth
er car
| Our ride to the cities went without
any mishap, except the puncturing OF
a tire or two, which damage was
quickly repaired.
Leaving Warren at 2:15 p. nj. we
reached Gary in Polk county by even
ing. Next morning our start was de
1ayed by rain and the roads were hea

were thriving villages that were pass

a beautiful and apparently prosperous
little town. Audubon and Oak Lake
were passed and next came Detroit
where we met Miss Beaver, a gradu:
ate nurse of the Warren hospital, who
had come here to tender her services
to the sick and suffering, and had
succeeded so well that she was plan
ming to build a hospital of her own
Passing McHugh we sped into Frazee
where we surprised P. c. Peterson
}the editor of the Frazee Free Press
just as he was putting on the finishing
touches on the weeks paper. Mr.
Peterson is a former Warren boy and
his wife is a former Marshall county
girl, from town Of Vega, and as both
were old friends to all members Of ou1
party, we had a delightful three hours
visit in their comfortable and happy
home and took supper with them, be
fore resuming our journey. Luce
and Perham were next reached, and
from the latter town we sped south
ward reaching Henning before we de
cided to put up for the night. Next
day we passed thru Almora and Park

100000 MORE
FOR COUNTY ROADS
HOuSe Passes Bill Authorizing
New Castle Levy Court to
Issue the Bonds
BRIDGE BILL IS
HELD OVER FOR DAY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, March 21.-Represen-
tative Buckinghams bill to authorize
New Castle county to borrow 100000
for the improvement of highways in
that county was passed by the Senate
Yesterday afternoon without oppOsi-
ton. The bill specifies the roads TO
be improved. When Mr.. Buckingham
called it up Representative Alexander
offered an amendment that the money
should not be borrowed until after
January 1, 1913. This would have
given the new Levy Court to be cleo
ted next year the borrowing and
spending of the money. The Alexander
amendment was defeated.
The bill specifies that roads in each
hundred to be improved and Represen-
tative White, of Christiana hundred,
had the list of road scheduled for i'm
provement in his hundred changed so
as to provide for the building of the
road from the Kennel Turnpike to
Prices Corner past the Ferris School,
and from there to the old Jackson Inn
on the Lancaster Turnpike. instead Of
the road originally scheduled from
Adams cross roads TO the Pennsylvania
Iine.
1t is understood that an agreement
was reached among the New Castle
county members whereby the Levy
Court also would be allowed to bor-
row $3.50 600 for the construction Of
new bridge across the Christiana
River near Third street in Whining
ton if the 100000 road loan bill was
/ put through. AS there had been some
opposition TO both measures among the
| New Castle county members, this
compromise was agreed upon. The
/ S150,000 bridge loan bill was read in
+ the House yesterday afternoon, but no
vote was taken on it, action being de-
J ferred until today.
