NEWSPAPER MAN GOES TO N. p.
RAILROAD

G. E. Arney, well known in Idaho
as journalist and politician, has
been made western immigration and
industrial agent of the Northern Pa
cific railroad with headquarters at
Spokane. The company intends to de-
vote more attention to the northwest
in the future than it has in the past
and even in the past it has taken a
great interest and expended great
deal of money in advertising the
country along the line Of its railway.
The Northern Pacific could herdly
have found better man for the posi-
ton. He is well known; is a good
mixer; and writer of considerable

lands are very much restricted.
Wherever water can be secured and
utilized as when desired, the small
acres are put into fruit. These lands
command high prices, they are irri-
gated lands. Do you see the point?
They are good lands, too. Their irri-
gated lands are as good as are to be
found in our own valley. But the
trouble is they have but little of it,
as command with the last stretches of
rolling hills which never will nor
never can be irrigated.
Therefore, the great majority OF
those people who have within the past
few years settled in the northwest are
dry farmers.
We also have our dairy farm lands,
embracing all those side hills running
along the mountain sides from Idaho
Falls to beyond Ashton on the north
and it is a fact that our own dry
farmers are better off than the dry
farmer of the northwest, as we know
his yield is greater and his crops will
just as certainly mature.
| shall not enter into any argu-
ment referring to the very many dis
appointments existing among those
new settlers, resulting from high pric-
es paid for their new found location
but also from the disappointments
found in the knowledge that diversi-
fled farming can not be engaged in.
1t might be we'll, however, to say
that after all those hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been expended
in advertising and booming up their
country and inducing those settlers
to pass by the very richest agricul-
tural valley to be found on the Amer
lean continent, that valley running
from Pocatello on through Blackfoot,
Idaho Falls, Rexburg, st. Anthony
and on to Ashton, then 1t may be well
to say that as the great railroad cor
porations have performed a great
work in settling up their farthest
points, thereby solving for themselves
the long haul proposition, it would be
an act of real genuine honesty for
them now to get in connection with
the future homeseeker and honestly
inform him where he can find better
soil, everlasting water and an abso-
lutte independence, and in beautiful
valley where crop failure never was
known; a valley where the farmer
can raise all the various crops which
naturally appeal to him; valley
where he can make his own rain any
day, just as readily as he can snap
his fingers; a valley from the soil of
which he can raise crop just as GER
tainly as he will SOW his seed; a val
ley which is now occupied in 100
acre tracts to the averaged farm, but

A free canal, in addition to in
creasing the commerce of the United
States in ten years to fifty times the
cost of operation, maintenance and
interest, will accomplish other re-
suits. 1t will absolutely destroy all
possibility, in any shape or manner
of monopoly in interoceanic traffic.
1t will encourage every ship owning,
operating or chartering company or
individual in the world to build, OPP
crate or charter vessels to use the
canal. 1t will keep rates between
the Atlantic and Gulf ports and those
of California, Oregon and Washing
ton. 1t will improve to the largest
degree the possibilities of trade be-
tween the United States and the west
or Pacific coast of twelve Latin
American countries reaching with
vast potential resources for 5000
miles from Mexico to Chile. 1t will
bring to the ports of the United
States and Latin America vessels Of
every flag, providing them with abun-
dant shipping facilities and adding
greatly to their prosperity. 1t will in
.augurate a new commerce between
the Atlantic and gulf coasts of the
United States and the ports of Asia
and Australia, which otherwise would
use the Suez canal or not exist at all.

Northern Minnesota Grasses.

A large quantity of grass seed was
distributed by the state in northern
Minnesota last spring, and sown large
~ on the burned over and cut-over
lands. Some was sown with small
grains as nurse crop. The results
in. many cases have been astonishing.
especially where the seed was sown
on cut-over and burned-over timber
land. Numerous reports have been
received, where grass seed sown last
spring has provided ton and half
to- two tons of hay per acre this fall.
The surprising part of the matter is
that termination took place so quickly
and the growth made was so strong
on raw land. A sample of timothy
recently received from the Crookston
Experiment Farm, and which was
grown in Roseau county. from seed
sown on the 18th of May, measures
four feet in height. It was harvested
on September 10th. Red clover sown
at the same time measures approx
mately three feet in height, and is
strong and vigorous in stalk.
While it has been argued for years
that northern Minnesota is essentially
a grass-producing country, the evil
dence obtained this year is most con-
vincing.
By taking advantage of burned-over
tracts, and of logged and cut-over
land, great deal of grass-seed can be
worked into the soil and much forage
provided, either for grazing purposes
or to be cut for hay: Hay is profit
able crop and always in strong de-
lnand in northern Minnesota. Mead
ows can in many instances be easily
cleared, and may become source Of
considerable revenue in a very short
time. Keeping the land in grass will
also prevent the growth and spread

An Acre-YieId Contest in Corn.

49, - )" SAtosl HAS De0n Planned fOr
the ne poys Of the state for the coming
year In addition to the regular
State Industrial Contest, held in con.
nectton with the Minnesota Educa-
tlonal Association each year, the Ag-
! lrlc,'ultural Extension Division is plan
Ming for statewide contest in corn.
growing This contest will be open
to- all boys between the ages Of 10
and 81 18 years on July 1st. Each boy
enlo1ering the contest will grow one
az acre IS Of corn; the awards being made
onssthe llz following basis: Yield of dry
shelled corn 20 per cent: financial
statement of cost of growing crop 10
per cent; written account, telling how
the corn was raised, 10 per cent; scor.
Ing OF 1O-ear exhibit selected by the
boy from his acre, and exhibited at
the State Industrial Contest, 10 per
cent.
Liberal cash prizes will be awarded
by the state in each section for the
hlgnest yields. In many counties 20
dltlonal prizes have been offered by
the bankers commercial clubs, county
fair association and others to stimu-
laIe Cl interest in the contest. Every
boy who follows the rules of the con-
test throughout the season, and turns
in a complete report, will be awarded
badge emitting him to membership
in the State Improvement League.
The educational value OF such q
contest is at once apparent. A study
OF every phase of corn growing must
be made, because the contest contin-
ues throughout the season. It is not
only good thing for the boy, but it
is good thing for his county. 1t
arouses an interest for better corn,
which spreads throughout the county.
County superintendents, teachers,
parents and others should endeavor
to get as many boys interested in
this contest as possible. The Exten.
sion Division invites the cooperation
OF County Fair Associations, CONNER
cia1 clubs bankers and all others who
desiFe to do something for their boys
and for their county. in the matter Of
awarding prizes for this contest.
Rules and regulations will be sent out
