It will be seen from this table that
while this appears to be a dry year.
the 1912 rains for July are ahead of
those for 1911 for the entire month
and appear to be closing the gap.
Z Two farmers from Iowa were in
Bemidji this week and looked over
the school farm. Both had come d.,
rectly from their Iowa farms and both
agreed that the corn at the school
farm was in much better condition
than the corn at home. Travellers
from Minnesota who went to the Chi
cago and Baltimore conventions also
agreed that at that time, the Mime
sofa corn crop was but few inches
behind that of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio.
Crop experts who have been
through this country during the past
two weeks say that the rains came at
the right time and that he CROPS in
this vicinity should be the best in
years. - ~ s.s r.

has fallen during the month of July

month of July last year. The total
for June and July, however, is still
low as June, 1911, had rainfall of

given the Pioneer this morning by
Charles Warield. Mr.. Warfield re-
ports each precipitation to the gov
eminent and has the records for the
past twenty-five years.

that the lake is now within six inch

due to the fact that the electric light
plant is running on steam during the
day and using but small quantity of
water each night. . .-~,

S'DUTIESEXPLAINED
Thirteen Year Old Lad in Alberta
Wins Prize By Outlining His
r. Ideas on Subject.
HE LAYS DOWN THE LAW

Edmonton, Alta, July 13.-"What
are some of the most important dut-
les of a good citizen?" was question
asked of Harold Mason, a thirteen
year old pupil in the sixth grade at
the Alexander Taylor public school of
Edmonton. His answer, which won
the coveted promotion at the exami-
nation, few days ago, follows:
"a good citizen should never vote
for man who is 'grafter,' because
he will put all the money he can in
his pocket, neglect his duties and
not try to make the city prosper.
"He should vote against the liquor
traffic and never touch it. He should
never use profane language, and he
will always willingly help the poor
and needy.
'He should vote toward paving
streets and try to make his city a
good place to live in. He should have
good schools and send his children to
them.
. "He would try to stop the armies
from having money to spend on ships
OF war, and not have war, but turn
it over to the cities to make them
beautiful. r.. ~.
"Then there would be sewers, wa
ter works, telephones and electric
lights all over the city. S..
Gle should encourage the building
of nice bungalows and fine hotels.
have no tents, make the people clean
up their yards and have lawns with
beautiful flowers.
when he found man out of work
he would try to get him a job, and
then he would be what 1 call a real
good citizen.''

BERRY MEASURES SMASHED,

A. N. Lindh, inspector of weights
and measures under the state depart
ment, today smashed three quart
measures that were being used for
the selling of blueberries Mr.. Lindh
found that the measures were each
several ounces short. =.
Attention of house wives is called
to the fact that blueberries and such
fruits should not be bought by wet
measure. If possible they should not
be bought by dry measure either but
should be bought by weight only. A
bushel of blueberries should weigh
exactly forty-two pounds with frac-
tional parts in proportion. The state
law makes it misdemeanor to either
buy rzsell with wrong measure so
that housewives who accept. wrong
weight are equally guilty with the
dealers. ~--- '-- >

WILSON on DAIRY INDUSTRY

I'm much OF the west cattle raising

dairying Is comparatively new. There

dairy products: and especially in the
newly settled regions IL is found that
the dairy industry fills such a place
In agricultural economy that its de-

In the older states OF the north,

Citations and the improvement OF city

tons are societies for cooperating in
the keeping OF herd records by en-
gazing a man who goes from farm TO
farm periodically. makes observations.
and keeps records Tor the herds OF all
the members OF the association. BY
this means records are secured with
out the trouble or expense involved
when each man keeps them for him
self: and in various other ways the
cooperation OF the farmers Is produc-
tive OF profit. The primary objects
are 10 detect and weed out inferior
individual COWS, and by the use OF
purebred bulls TO perpetuate and In
tensify the valuable characteristics OF
the cows that are found to be good
ones-thus raising the average quail
ity OF the individual COW and the to-
tai productiveness OF the herd. There
are 50 cow-testing associations now in
90 states. comprising $4,000 cows.
The records OF one OF these asso-
Citations show that the profit was
doubled after four years work. For
instance, man with eight cows
found, the first month OF keeping rec
ords, that he was losing five and one
half cents per COW, or "A cents on his
herd for that month. After three
months testing he was making a
profit of s32 a month on the herd, and
at the end OF the year his profits had
increased TO $50 month. This not
able increase was due largely TO the
sale OF five OF his poorest cows, and
the purchase OF as many well.produc-
ing ones to take their places. In add.
ton, there were changes made In the
methods OF feeding which conduced to
the result"
