FOREST SERVICE
Railroads and Lightning
Largest Fire Menace

In the States covered by District
l of the Forest Service, Michigan,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana
and Northern Idaho, the showery
and cold weather conditions of the
previous week have continued.
This weather is particularly favor
able to the protective work of the
Forest Service, since patrolmen
may be employed in building trails,
telephone lines, and frebreaks,
thus putting the forests in condi-
ton to Withstand a serious fire
season.
The limited amount of funds ap-
propriated by Congress since July
l has been insufficient for meeting
any serious conditions, but the
weather has been more favorable
than could have been expected,
and no deficit for fighting fire has
been incurred, as was the case in
1910.
While conditions are very favor
able at present, short dry season
would constitute grave menace
| to the forests. The luxuriant
growth of grass, weeds, and under
brush would dry out quickly, and
fire once started would spread
rapidly.
Sparks from railroad locomotives
continue TO be the chief source OF
fires, with lightning close second
Reports for the week state that
unless excessively dry weather &C.
ours during the last half of August,
the fire danger is practically over,
since rains are likely to occur dur
ing September in the Northwest.
To keep up the present good re-
cord, and render effective the pro-
tective work of the Forest Service
and Timber Protective Associations
the public is cautioned to observe
the Six Rules accompanying this
report.
THE SIX RULES
1. Be sure your match is out be-
fore you throw it away.
2. Knock out your pipe ashes OF
throw your cigar or cigarette stump
where there is nothing to catch fire
8. Don't build camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary
Never leave it even for short
time without putting it out with
water or earth.
4. Don't build camp fire against
a tree or log. Build a small one
where you can scrape away the
needles, leaves or grass from all
sides of it.
S. Don't build bonfres. The
wind may come up at any time and
start fire you cannot control.
6. If you discover fire. put il
out if possible; if you can't, get
word of it to the nearest U. S.
Forest Ranger or State Fire Warden
just as quickly as you possibly can.
The cumulative fire report for
Montana and Northern Idaho is as
follows:

Chemical Canning
pounds
Com.

At this season of the year it
might be well to call to the atten-
ton of housewives and others, the
nature of certain substances which
are sold by agents and others to be
used in the preparation of canned
fruit and vegetables. Such COM
pounds or preservatives usually
contain among other substances
Borax or its derivative, salicylic
acid, or other drugs of like charac-
ter all of which are detrimental to
health. No other preservatives
than those known as the natural
preservatives, viz; sugar, salt,
spices, vinegar and sometimes alco-
hol, should be used in preparing
canned goods for home consump-
ton. These with the accompany
ing sterilization by heat make
wholesome and safe food. In
word the housewife needs no
drugs or chemicals when sound
ripe fruits or vegetables are used
for preserving or canning.

have loaded the car are unexper-

in a car, whether the men who
have loaded the car are unexper-
fenced potatoe shippers or not. It
is the inexperienced potato shipper
that can't find a market. Buyers
have learned through experience
that small potatoes, dirt and some
times stones go with the old sack
of any weight, tied or loose, which
ever the case may be.
Potatoes should be out of the
ground by October 10th at the
latest, better Oct. 5th. Early po-
tatoes should be dug soon after the
vines dies.
The practice of pitting potatoes
in the field does not pay if there
is root cellar on the place. AS a
rule they are not improved by pit
ting and the danger by frost is al
most invariably increased. Thous-
ands of bushels of potatoes froze in
the pits last Fall.
Start the digger in the early
morning. Allow the potatoes to
remain on the ground two or three
hours before picking up to dry off
as much as possible. Dig only
what can be picked up and put in
the cellar by night.
If the root cellar is we'll ventilat-
ed and the bins not too large or
deep, the potatoes will dry out
better in the cellar than in pit in
the field. A little air Stacked lime
scattered over the potatoes as they
are put in the bin will help them
to keep. Don't wait for your po-
tatoes to mature after October LIST.
Dig them.
If you want to establish a per-
manent market observe and keep
the rules. The farmer, who mis-
represents the product he sells, by
putting product on the market
that the market does not want,
such as small potatoes, frosted po-
tatoes, etc., invaribly cheats him
self most.

POTATOES WANTED
What the Market Demands
i'm Potatoes

The market is now looking for
early potatoes and the Early Ohio
is by far the best seller. Farmers
having the Early Ohio or Early
Rose or any other pink or red
variety should put them on the
market before October LIST, if they
do not intend to keep them for
seed trade in the Spring. After
October 1st the demand will be for
white potatoes of the Carman and
Burbank types.
The market don't want small
potatoes or potatoes of mixed var
ieties, especially of different colors.
Sort your potatoes if you want to
sell them and if you want the buy
ers to come again next year. Po-
tatoes that will go through a IA
inch screen are regarded as culls on
the market and should be kept at
home. The more plentiful the
crop the more particular the buyers.
The market not only demands po-
tatoes of a certain kind and size,
but it wants them put up in GER
tain sized sack. The standard sack
of potatoes weighs $50 lbs, IN
bu. and is sewed. This is not re-
CURED in delivering potatoes to a
local market but where farmer
ship and load the car themselves
they should observe this rule. A
buyer can tell as soon as he looks

ELY WINS
Well Played Game Sunday
Goes to Ely by Score of
6 to 3

The jinx or jigaroo finally got
away from the Fire Department
team and Sundays exhibition was
faithful representation of how the
game should be played. The boys
played ball Sunday from start to
finish with the result that the Win
ton banner of successive victories
was trailed in the dust with score
of E to 8.
It was no snap however and the
Ely boys were on their metal at all
times. In the first inning after two
men were on bases, LaBeau clouted
one over the center field fence for a
home run scoring the two men
ahead of him. Three more runs
were added to the Ely list in the
course of the nine innings with eff
ficient team work. Two of the
Winton runs were secured with
home run hits over the fence, P.
Byers and Herbert each contribut-
ing one.
The batteries on both sides did
efficient work. Williamson for the
Ely boys struck out IL of the Win
ton hard hitters and Byers for
Winton performed the same opera
ton for eight of the Ely boys
A large attendance was present
and conclusively proved that the
peoply much. prefer the Ely Winton
games to the imported article.
Seraphine and Ward held the in
dicators on the teams and their
work was satisfactory.

meeting. Today it is the largest
county fair in Minnesota and one
of the most successful in the mid
die west.
The greatest of the free attrac-
ton will be the airship flights by
Hal Cantrer, speed king of the air,
flying in monoplane for the Moisant
international aviators. Cantner is
under guarantee to fly on all four
days of the fair, giving three flights
daily. This will be the first air
ship flight ever made on the Mesaba
range and will be worth coming
miles to see. The speed card will
be the best ever. Every race is
filled and in the free-for-alls there
will start daily a field of Is, includ-
ing some of the best young trotting
and pacing talent in the northw est.
The livestock exhibits, the general
agricultural display and other
features of the fair will be worth
coming a long way to see. 1t will
be one of the greatest expositions
of St. Louis county's agricultural
resources ever assembled. Hib-
bling will be in holiday attire for
the reception of its guests. There
will be band music, free vaudeville
and special attractions of all sorts.
Every resident on the range should
plan to visit the big show. Every
day will be a big day. Special
train service from several points on
the range may be announced later.
