EVENING SESSION.

At eight o'clock the convention
again convened at the courthouse,
vice president L. O. Thorpe in the
chair. In opening the meeting Sen
ator Thorpe took occasion to express
his satisfaction with the manner in
which the aims and purposes Of the
association were being realized.
The first speaker introduced was
A. D. Wallace, editor Of ''The Farm
err" The speaker urged the aboli-
ton of the seventeen odd state
boards which now have to deal with
agriculture and in which much work
is duplicated and the creation by the
Legislature Of a State Department #
Agriculture divided into nine bureaus,
The following boards were those he
proposed to abolish:
Dairy and food, forestry, immigra-
ton, draina"e, highways, live stock,
sanitary, stallion registration, farm
ers institute, board Of veterinary ex-
aminers, horse shoers board, state
entomologist, state veterinarian, hay
and grain inspection, state fair
board.
All Of these departments, accord
ing to Mr.. Wallace's plan, would be
included and co-ordained in the de-
partment of the secretary Of agricul~
ture so that the work of the differ
ent boards and organizations instead
Of being separate and independent,
would be co-ordinated and work I'M
der one direction. He called atten-
| ton to the fact the state is spending
million dollars for agriculture and
| that much of it is bein" wasted Of a
lack Of coordination.
| The advantages were summed up
as follows: l. Fixed responsibility.
IL. Politics would be knocked ouI,
all employees to be under civil serv-
ice rules except the head of the de-
|partment. 3. Better service would
be secured for the money. 4. Bus
illness methods would be used in State
government.
Mr.. Wallace said his plan has the
approval Of the governor and accord
ing to the speaker, has been approved
|by the. Bankers association, the
Federation Of Commercial clubs, thu
conservation congress, the North.

western Development association and
different farm organizations.
At the close of Mr.. Wallace's re-
marks the Willmar Glee Club was
called on and gave It couple of selec-
tons which were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the meeting. All arose ana
sang America.
The call of the roll by counties was
then made, and as each county con-
tingent arose it was greeted with an
nlause. The following was the re-
suit:
Traverse, 6; Big Stone, 6; Swift,
20; Chippewa, 7; Renville, l.; Red
wood 5; Pope, /: Grant, 5; Otter
Tail, 4; Wilkin, l; Stevens 23;
Meeker, 1 and Kandiyohi several
hundred.
The neyt speaker was Prof. Crane
Of the Great Northern Railway, and
he proved an eloquent speaker and
hard hitter. He summarized the re-
suits of the experiments made by the
Great Northern on 376 different p1.ats
along it's lines, and concluded THAT
eve have proved that we can get the
yields if the stuff is in the ground. )"
= BURN UP FARMS.
The burning Of straw he character
lied as a crime Those who do that
care burning up their FARMS" Every
ton Of straw contains 1925 worth Of
potash, Of which the soil is in great
need to produce crops.
The keeping Of stock is what will
save the fertility of our farms. Ev-
cry 1000 pounds of animal on the
farm, whether cattle, sheep or hogs,
means 1926 worth of added, fertility
per annum. Every ton of barnyard
manure is worth 1896 in Fertilizer,
but it will lose 40 per ce at Of its
value if not taken care Of.
Minnesota land is the most valu-
able in the world, declared Prof.
Crane. In chemical qualities it sur
passes Illinois and these western
counties are the richest pa,:t Of the
state.
Discussing the chemical analysis
Of the soil and methods Of applying
phosphates the speaker said that al
an outlay Of $3.50 per acre the yielt
might be doubled. There are Inn
,mense phosphate deposits in tn
State Of Wyoming which will in, tim

they might find on the streets of
city.
He believed that scale and
Babcock test in the barn where the
boy might use them and compare the
results from each COW, would soon
get him so interested that they would
not want to leave the work. He clos
ed with plea for the women on the
farm, and that they too might share
in the improvements of the day.
"Man's work is from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done"
At the close of Mr.. Schilling's talk
President Murphy was empowered to
name several committees.
Dean A. F. Woods Of the Agricul-
tural Department Of the State Uni
versity delivered an address on the
problem of farm carital and credit.
He quoted statistics to show the vast
investments in the farminc industry.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1912-12-18

100000 million farmers produce
over eleven billions year or more
than twenty five millions day.
The farmer, he claimed, pays on IN
average of S12 per cent for the cap
ital it is necessary for him to bor-
row. This, he said, was the high
est rate of interest paid bv any in
dustry.
About one half of the borrowed
money is invested in land and the
other in personal chattels.
The speaker outlined the necessity
for the use Of borrowed money in
farming. He said new methods had
come up. It was good business
proposition for the farmer to invest
in an improved plant but the borrow
ing conditions made it difficult fo1
him to do so except at what he re-
CARDS as an eXOrbitant rate.
FARMER NEEDS CAPITAL.
The average profit for Minnesot:
farming at present is but little above
the cost Of production, hence the neet
of more improved methods whic'
means more capital.
Dealing with the subject of the in
crease in tenant farmers Mr.. Wood
said there was no cause for worr'
about this as the tenant farmer o
today would be the farm owner o
tomorrow, and then added "Statis
ties prove the tenant farmer is a bet
ter farmer than the farm owner i
Minnesota"
At present he explained if ma
has credit he can get money at 5 O
6 per cent. If a risk is involved tn
rate Of interest is naturally greater
From this point the speaker branch
ed off into a discussion of the co-or
erative credit system of Europe. II
said he did not know whether til

SCARCITY OF CATTLE.

He called attention to the fact that
during the last ten years the num-
Der of cattle in the United States has
decreased 8 per cent, hogs 712 per
cent and sheep IA per cent while the
population has increased Fl per cent,
that the cattle range Ct the West was
a thing of the past, and there is ev-
cry inducement for farmers to in
crease their stock production.
Mr.. Bert Ball added few remarks
to what he had said at the opera
house urging team work and coop
GRAFTON of all interests for the COM
mon good.
There was more music by the G!ee
Club and the last speaker Of the eve
ming, President F. W. Murphy, Of
Wheaton, took the floor. He made Il
profound impression in his appeal to
the meeting. The paramount issue
was bringing about an understanding
between all interest and, factions.
He had faith in the man on the
ground, and we should all strive to
develop the good in our fcllowman.
He reviewed ground taken by 9TH
err speakers. minnesota is to be

He pleaded for more sociability
among farmers, music in the homes
and eonveniences in the farm homes

600 for weed seeds it is importing
each year. ..-.~ -,
Mr.. Murphy pointed to the seven
county farm demonstrators present
at the meeting and referred to them
as disciples Of better era.
He closed with plea for financial
aid to take care Of the general ex-
penses of the association and seemed
to have a generous response from
those who came forward.

Jeanette Thress. daughter of MI. and
Mrs. Otto Thress of New England. died
last Friday evening of scarlet fever.
She was about twelve years of age and
developed the fist case of scarlet fever
in New England about three weeks ago.
Two other members. of the Thress fam

JOHN FISHER WRITES
ABOUT co. BRIDGES
Editor Of the F

Editor Of the PRESS:
l noticed in a recent issue of the
PRESS that the county commissioners
had awarded the contract for the. erec-
ton of a 90-ft. bridge across Antelope
creek at a cost of So. 400. This is to
replace the bridge carried away during
the spring freshet. The old bridge
crossing Green river north of Dickin-
Son, a much larger stream than Ante
lope creek. was a loft. span it was
moved from the Heart river south of !
Dickinson about is years ago. The
erection of the bridge according to
height was left to the writer. 1t was
suggested that the bottom of the
bridge be two feet above the level of
the valley: this was done, consequently
the bridge was always safe during the
highest water, when the whole valley
wa flooded. This old bridge was re-
placed last fall by a new steel bridge
of the same span. Nothing but the
irons of the old bridge were used. 1t
was moved five miles east on Green
river which is just two miles east of
the Zdrahal bridge. built about three
years ago. Some people in the neigh
borhood suggested that the bridge be
set higher. but the foreman said he
was working under the instructions of
the county commissioners and that was
what he was going to follow.
The result was that the bridge was
too low and the first food carried it
away and now it lies in the channel.
Had it been set two feet higher it
would have been standing today. 1t
was a great mistake to have ever moved
the old bridge 10 its present location.
1t is easy to see that traffic crossing
this bridge must travel four miles east
ward in going to Dickinson. The old
bridge ought to have been left where
it was and the new bridge placed at the
Manning crossing n mile east. This
would have accommodated all the
heavy traffic from Dunn county. On &C.
count of the wet spring weather the
Manning crossing has been impossible
most of the time.
The bridge across Heart river south
from Taylor is a 90-ft. span and was
erected 10 years ago at a cost of So, 700.
This bridge has withstood the waters
of Heart river below where it receives
the waters of both Green river and
Antelope creek, so it will be seen that
the areat trouble with many of our
bridges is that they are not high
enough. Extra length counts for moth
ing if the bridge is not above high
water mark.
Respectfully,
JOHN FISHER.

AL. G. BARNES Bic SHOW

Tucked away somewhere deeply in
the innermost consciousness of every
human being is the remembrance of the
first circus ever attended. Time has
wrought many changes. but the circus
has not gone backwards. In the onward
progress the Al. G. Barnes big three
ring wild animal circus has forced to
the front until now it is the largest ex-
hibition of it's kind in the world. This
big show will give two full and COM
plete performances at Dickinson. Sat-
urday. June 18th.
There is not a village of any size in
the United States or Canada where the
rame of the AL. G. Barnes circus is not
a household word. With the show is
carr led the greatest and most varied
collection of ANIMALS ver assembled
together at one time. There are more
trained animals with the show than
may be found in the combined menag-
cries of the three largest circuses.
The Al. G. Barnes circus is the one
show that is different. 1t is in a class
by itself. The feats performed by the
man eating forest bred animals have
never before been duplicated in any ex-
hibiti0n.
With the show is carried $50 educa-
ted and trained animals. Among them
are twenty African for est bred lions. a
herd of elephants. a caravan of camels,
including a baby ship of the DESERT -
poalerds, royal Bengal tigers. pumas,
jaguars. hyenas, zebras. monkeys of
every description. dogs and ponies.
Every animal carried with the show is
a performer.
Among the many favorites to be seen
will be Riearoo's u performing lions.
Maj. Thornton and his troupe Of per-
forming bears, Prof. Emery and his
herd Of Siamese elephants, Nine. Flor
inc and her educated Persian leopards,
Capt. Stonewall and his e lions,
Miss Ethel Bonde and her trained
Arabian stations. lions, monkeys. dogs
and ponies. and Nine. Margaret and
her royal Bengal tigers.
All the wild animal acts are perform
edin steel arenas weighing many tons,
under the supervision of a corpse of the
worlds greatest and most celebrated
trainers. Altogether there are more
than half a hundred heart-stilline acts.
each of which has yet been dupli-
Gated with any animal exhibition in
the entire world.
Some idea of the, magnitude Of the
show may be obtained when n takes
into consideration that it requires

road cars to transport them.
