ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN
USE ON THE FARM
CANDLES AND KEROSENE LAMPS
WILL SOON BE DISPLACED BY
ELECTRICITY

Nels Malm, one of the prosperous
farmers of the town of Bloomer, has
has recently installed an up to-date
electric lighting plant on his farm. A
few years ago this would have been
impossible but electric machinery and
storage batteries have now been per-
fected so that electric lights will be
within the means of almost every far
mer. Mr.. Mains plant was installed
by his son, Victor, who is an electri-
clan, and is similar to the outfits used
in the small towns but in addition to
the generating machinery there is
storage battery, making it necessary
to use low voltage. The batteries
when fully charged will run an ordi-
nary farm residence for about two
weeks, depending, of course, upon the
number of hours the lamps are used.
Electricity on the farm will prove to
be very great convenience as by
simply turning button, light can be
had in the different rooms of the
house, in the barn or in the yard. The
danger of fire will also be reduced, es-
pecially if fights are used in the hay
loft Small motors can also be IN
stalled to run the cream separator,
the washing machine, the sewing ma
chine, the feed mill or a wood saving
machine.
Mr.. Mains residence also has
heating plant and has hot or cold wa
ter in different parts Of the house.

BIG RED RIVER VALLEY
EXHIBIT IS PROPOSED
MOVEMENT FOR NORMAN, POLK,
MARSHALL AND kITTsoN TO
COMBINE

1t has been suggested, and the sug-
gestion is very good one, that in ad-
dition to the Minnesota exhibit at the
National Land Products show at st
Paul, in December the Red River Val.
ley should have a separate exhibit of
comprehensive character.
No individual land dealer or com
pany can afford to stand the expense
of retaining space at the show, which
will cost several hundred dollars, and
then assemble an exhibit which would
do this section of the state justice.
and it has been proposed that several
of the valley counties get together and
have an exhibit for the Red River Val
ley, no individual county, but for the
Red River Valley as whole, and If
this is to be done, it will be necessary
to get busy at once.
It would also be too big a burden
for any one county to collect the ex-
hibit and have a competent man on
the ground to handle it. and it has
been suggested that Norman, Polk,
Marshall and Kittson counties take
the matter up and assemble the ex-
hibit.
It would not be at all burdensome
for these four counties to effect an or
ganization and get an exhibit at the
Land Products show that would be
world beater, and the expense would
not be heavy enough to make it bur
,densome on the business interests of
any of the counties, and at the same
time the showing that could be made
would be of vast benefit to the en-.
tire Red River Valley.
Of course, if other counties desired
Ito take an interest in the exhibit, all
the better, but the four could handle
it very nicely and it would be easier
to start the movement in four coun.
ties than if there were more, unless
other counties came in voluntarily to
do their share.--Crookston Times.

titled to the distinction of being "in
the Corn Belt"
1t is extremely desirable that this
years triumph should be followed by
a diligent effort to secure a greater
and more brilliant one next year. The
Extension Division, pointing to the
good done by last falls observance of
.Seed Corn Week" desires repeti-
ton of such observance this year. The
plan has my hearty approval. There
fore I hereby appoint the week of
Sept. 11th-16th, 1911, as "Seed Corn
Week." and would again join the Divi-
sion in urging that every farmer in
Minnesota shall on some day of that
week, make it his special duty to go
through his corn-field and select for
seed the test ears from the sturdiest
stalks; carefully storing them in ac-
cordance with the suggestions OF Ex-
tension Bulletin No. 9.
Furthermore, this years increase in
the acreage given 10 corn having been
attended with such satisfactory re-
suits, would urge that yet more
acres be set aside for this King of
Crops.

Seal of the State, this I'd day OF Sep

$3.50 Cash for Timothy Seed

Mr.. Mckay, who has a farm near
Gardner, just across the Minnesota
line, drove into the town of Gardner
with his crop Of timothy seed which
he sold and for which he secured the
magnificent sum of $3.50. The seed is
selling at something like $12 per hun
dredweight, and in addition to this
large amount of money for the seed,
Mr. Mckay still has the hay, which
is worth from $12 to SIS per ton.

PROCLAMATION
State of Minnesota, Executive Depart
ment.

There comes from thousands Of
Minnesota farms today a note of jubi-
laticn over the success of the corn
crop. 1t is the largest crop ever
known in the history of the state. The
planting of an increased acreage has
been followed by a marked increase
in the average number of bushels pro-
duced to the acre. 1t is yet too early
to say just what this increase will be;
but that it will take on large proper
tions there is no doubt whatever.
While gratefully acknowledging the
benefits accruing from weather con-
,ditions favorable, in most of our area,
to the growth of the crop, it must be
said that large measure of the sue
cess of our Minnesota corn-growers
this year is unquestionably due to the
more timely and careful selection of
seed-corn, last fall, resulting from the
vigorous "Good Seed" propaganda in
augurated and carried on by the Ex-
tension Division of the Minnesota Col
lege of Agriculture. Last years OBJ
servance of "Seed Corn Week" fol-
lowed by the adoption, on multitudes
of farms, of the improved methods of
caring for seed and preparing the seed
bed recommended by the Division, has
added this year many thousands of
dollars to the revenues Of our farms.
Not only this, but the spectacle. of
the magnificent crop now maturing is
worth millions of dollars to the State
as fresh advertisement of the wealth
of it's resources. Coming at mo-
ment when corn in the States hither-,
to producing the bulk of the crop has
been cut short by unfavorable condi-
tions, it will fix the attention of the
world on Minnesota, as now fairly en-

MARSHALL LEADS IN
STAGING RESOURCES
HAS MOST REPRESENTATIVE AG.
RIcULTURAL EXHIBIT At
(. STATE FAIR

Everyone at home ought to see that
Exhibit"
That surely is the deep-down-in-the-
heart sentiment of Marshall county
residents when they view the fine ex-
hibit representing their county at the
state fair. It is more than could be
expected. Replete with all sorts of
agricultural wonders from the most
fertile county in the state, it gives the
outsider the wanderlust, while the
man from home stands in awe and
wonders over the fact that so many
different products are being raised
right outside his own door.
AS an exhibit, as art and as an ad-
vertising medium, the Marshall county
booth at the fair is a big compliment
to all who aided in the work, and es.
pecially to Prof. G. E. Sjostrand, w.
N. Powell and H. Carr, who are busy
at the fair in the interest of their
county. Again Marshall county has
| been placed at the zenith of agricul-
tural progress by their efforts. They
have proven themselves capable of
handling the big undertaking success
fully, and their work will go far to-
| wards giving one of the expected
kprizes to Marshall county.
AS may be seen from the halftone
accompanying this article, Marshall
county advertises itself boldly over
the exhibit. The letters are made
up of German millet on white back
ground, and the sign is in itself feat
ure of the agricultural collection.
While there may be exhibits at the
fair more unique, there is none more
attractive Those in charge of the
same did not make attempts to 'scatch
the eye" by means of fancy or ultra
artistic groups of figures or orna-
ments. They made it a point to stage
as much of Marshall county in the
space allotted as possible, and in this
respect they have succeeded admir-
ably. They realize that fancy work"
should be staged in another depart
ment and that the exhibit as a whole
should appeal to reason more than
sentiment.
Fine specimens of all farm products
are represented in a way that is
pleasing. The grains receive much
attention and surprise many specta-
tors. The Red River Valley, as
whole, is the feature at the fair, and
Marshall county has no superior in
the agricultural theatre at Hamline
It demonstrates again that it is the
worlds champion in barley, oats and
wheat. A. D. Vansickle has samples
of his world-beating grains at the fair
and they are receiving much favorable
attention and comment.
If the judges will make their deci-
sion on the material worth Of an ex-
hibit, taking into consideration the
representation it gives the county,
then Marshall county will be accord
ed the first prize. There is no ex-
khibit at the fair more replete with
farm products. It shows the best of
everything. Comparisons have been
made by uninterested spectators, who
assert that Marshall county has every
thing a little better than any other
county. Such comment is worth much
more than silver cup or blue rib
bon.
At any rate, Marshall county is
there with both feet
