AN APPRECIATION
Of the Farmers Short Course At the.
School Of Agriculture at
crookston.

AS have Just returned from at
tending the farmers short course, /
thought it my duty to inform the farm
ers Of what grand opportunity they
missed by not attending.
Prof. H. Z. Bolley's address on
Plant Diseases" and especially on the
diseases of wheat, was worth many
times the cost Of taking the whole
course. In fact it would be impossi-
BILE for any man to estimate the value
in dollars and cents AS for me,
would not have missed that lecture
for one hundred dollars. Now / do
not wish you to understand that this
was the only important lecture, as
each day was chuck full Of good, prac-
tical information for the farmer. And
why shouldn't it be, as Prof. Selvig
had secured noted experts in their
lines from st. Anthony Park, Fargo,
Winnipeg, U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture, from Grafton, N D., and many
other places, besides the faculty Of the
School Of Agriculture Of Crookston,
which did everything in their power
to make the short course success.
With the best talent that can be Sc
cured, why shouldn't we learn? I
believe if the farmers of Marshall
and Polk counties alone had fully
known what was in store for them,
the school could not have occommo-
dated one-fourth of them; but as it
was, the school could have accommo-
dated twice as many as were there.
What loss to the farmers that they
did not attend! I am glad that /
am one that did not think that 1
knew it all.
Yours truly,
III. J. Beardmore.

A recent issue of the St. Paul Dis
patch states, than Hon. Peder M. Hen
ricks, who in 1891 was a member Of
the Minnesota Legislature from Kitt-
son county, but who is now prosper
GUS farmer near Saskatoon, Sask., was
at the state capitol last week calling
on some former colleagues. Mr.. Hen
ricks said that immense quantities of
wheat are being lost in western Cana
da in the snow. There is lots Of
wheat standing in the shock yet, said
Mr.. Henricks "and millions of bushels
that have been threshed are still N
the fields stored in shacks or lying
on the ground. The Canadian North
west is paying dearly for the rejection
of reciprocity with the United States.
The loses to the country and the far
mers of the great prairie provinces
are already to be reckoned in millions.
There is more, too, than a mere mon
being caused by the inability Of the
Canadian railroads to move the i'm
lnense crop to the Canadian terminals
at Fort Williams and Port Arthur, ow-
ing to the full accumulation Of the
storage capacity at these lake ports.
The serious condition prevailing IN
the country district can be realized
when farmers come to town to market
their grain only to dnd all storage
room taken up and are forced to re-
turn home with It or dump It In a heap
outside and many are hungry and cold
as result. IN towns close enough
to the boundary line to make possible

the high duty, being well satisfied tol

A Modern Hiawatha

~ WOOSTO tJudWdIna
Hiawatha made some mittens
Made them of the skin of beaver
Made them warm and soft and woolly
So that warm he might be, fully.
And he made them fur-side inside
With the inside skin outside;
Made them with the inside outside
Sos to bring the furside inside.
z mean, be made the inside skin side
Turn and be the outside skin side;
Put the outside fur side inside
Sos to make much warmer mittens,
All these things he did, they tell me,
In his wigwam built Of birch bark
On the shore, by roaring waters,
BY the rushing, great Snake River
With the mercury almost frozen
Way below the place it's sposen for to
be.
Now II were Hiawatha
would make not only mittens
But whole big suit Of beaver;
Then I'd put my cold side inside,
Put my outside cold side inside
When the mercury's almost frozen
Way below the place IT'S sposen for to
be.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Advocates Of Woman Suffrage may
We'll point to 1911 as the banner year
in the history of the movement. Two
important states granted complete
franchise rights to women, and the
use they Immediately made Of it gave
an impetus in other states too great
to be estimated. The coming year
promises even more in achievement.
The past year has shown worldwide
activity toward granting full political
rights to women, and the year 1912
will doubtless see their enfranchise-
ment in more than one foreign coun.
try.
Reports from South Africa are to
the effect that Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the International
Woman suffrage Alliance, who is maxi
ing tour OF the world, has aroused
intense interest in the suffrage move
ment there, and meetings are being:
held everywhere in her honor, presid-
ed over by prominent public officials.
DR.. Augusta Stowe-G Cullen, honorary
president of the Canadian Woman Suf.
frage Assn. was the first woman to re
ceive a medical degree in the Domin-
ion of Canada. She was also the first
woman to serve on the school board
Of the city Of Toronto, and was re.
Gently elected to serve on the Senate
OF Toronto University.
Mrs. Ella Wilson, mayor of Hume
well, Kansas, after long and bitter
opposition on the part of the members
Of the City Council is now in control
Of municipal affairs, the councilmen
having been ousted by order of the
governor and attorney general Of the
state.
Mrs. Gideon Frazer, Of Tacoma,
WASH, has the distinction of serving
on a jury with her husband. Mr..
Frazer was the first juror drawn and
Mrs. Frazer the sixth.
1t is said that for the first time in
the history of Michigan woman,
Miss Mary f. Hadrich, will act as
private secretary to the governor. She
will take the place Of Major Travis,
who is toabe made member Of the
State Board of Pardons.
Miss Mona Wilson, the first woman
insurance commissio for England
by the government, is q daughter Of
Canon Wilson, Of Worcester, formerly
Archdeacon Of Manchester and head
master Of Clifton. Miss Wilson has
been engaged IN administe tering the
Trade Board act with regard to the
chain-making and box-making trades;
she has served as 9 member Of the
ONE Office Deraelapt sch rdlu dlu
Home Office Departmental committee
on Industrial accidents, and has de-
voted her whole life to the problems
of women's employment. Canon and

Editor Of Farm, Stock and Home U,
ges Social Efficiency.

Speaking before the Tri-State Grain
Growers, Editor Hughes of Farm,
Stock & Home of Minneapolis, pointed
out the fact that the three necessary
factors IN any community were the
farmer, the merchant and the banker,
and that without the cooperation Of
these three, the highest prosperity CT
the community cannot be attained. He
likened the situation to that of a po
ker game where each interest is try
ing for itself to live, in part at least,
at the expense of the others and point
ed out that the only way to satisfac-
torily build up country life and pre-
vent the exodus to the cities is to es-
tablish a more complete understand
ing between the three great interests
that make Up our business life.
The fact was brought out that the
capitalization on the farm was not
we'll balanced; that the farmer has
too much invested in land in compari.
son to what he has in stock, machin-
cry, buildings and working capital,
and that consequently the great need
of the farmer is capital to develop the
land already titled rather than to Sc
cure more acres. In the securing of
thi capital he needs the cooperation
of the banker, who should loan the
money on the basis of productive re.
turn, favoring such enterprises rs
dairying and live stock production that
give promise of ample security and
immediate direct return on the invest
lnent.
The speaker further said that the
business relationship between the
merchant and the farmer could be ma
terially improved by the establishment
of cash system of doing business and
that were such system established
eliminating the bad debts that large
| ~ account for the high price charged
by storekeepers, that quality ot
goods could be sold at price which
would eliminate foreign competition
Editor Hughes reasoned that the cred
lit system works to the detriment ot
the farmer because it forces the mer
chant and the banker on to q credit
basis, which In turn convinces the
great banking centers that the farm
ing proposition Of the West is not al
together safe, and that the final result
lis a material lowering OF the price OF
lands below the point justified by acta
al crop returns.
He recommended that every com.
mercial club have IN It's Membership
the strongest farmers In the comnau-
nifty; that these clubs should under.
take to do for the community the
things most necessary to upbuild it,
not IN the interest Of the bankers,
the merchants, nor the farmers, but
for the common good Of all, and ne
held that were this done that the tide
|of life and property would cease to
flow toward the cities and that q re-
turn tide would set in toward the
farm. NJ.
