Nominated Fairly.

Governor Eberhart was fairly and
sQuarely re-nominated at the primar-
les September 18th. He is the choice
Of the majority of Republican voters
Of the state. He won out in COM
petition with five other candidates
He has proved that he is the choice
of the majority and the majority
should rule. A third candidate at
the general election is not necessary
and will only split up the vote. Vot-
ers should forget the petty excuses
and stick by the nominee.

Need Of a Cash Market.

The situation revealed by w. A.
Cassler in his letter to be found else
where in this issue is one that de-
serves the serious consideration of
the Commercial club. Already, buy
ers are advertising for potatoes and
during the fall many car loads will
be shipped out of Bemidji and vi
cinity.
With the exception of one house
already established here, the produce
business Of Bemidji and vicinity has
been handled by the Bemidji grocers.
At one time an effort was made to
keep a farmers cooperative market
ing association going but it fell by
the wayside. The farmers want a
market to which they can bring pro-
duce any time of the year and from
which they can take cash.
1t is not fair to expect the grocers
Of Bemidji to handle this business
1t takes man who is an expert; one
who has studied the markets, knows
local conditions and knows how to
make both meet in a way which will
be profitable to the house and to the
farmer Grocers have not the time
nor training for this. AS c0nse-
quence, many times farmers have
hauled in produce and found no mar
ket for it when they got here.
There may be a legitimate reason
why the Allen people have been un-
able to get a warehouse in this city.
1t may also be that the difficulties
they see may be overcome by little
judicious work on the part of the
Commercial club. The creamery is
furnishing a cash market for cream
and butter. With cash market for
garden truck, the farmers will be
able to plant their seed with the cer-
tainty that the crop will be in de-
mand.

Toads Valuable.

The toad is a very valuable friend
to the gardener. Toads live for sew
eral years and by preference re-
main on the same feeding grounds
from year to year. About SO per
cent of the toad's food consists of
animal matter.
Among the. forms regularly eaten,
are angle worms, snails, sowbugs,
acknowledged worms, spiders,
ants, grasshoppers, crickets, cut
worms. beetles and various caterpil-
lars. From go to 80 per cent of in
furious insects and a small per cent
of beneficial insects 90 in with its
customary ration.
The stomach is filled and emptied
about four times in each "a hours.
Upon the basis of stomach exaIni-
nations, it has been estimated that
during the 80 day period extending
over May, June and July, grown
toad will consume 2,170 cutworms,
1900 acknowledged worms, 2,160
sowbugs. 3,240 ants, 800 weevils,
and 800 ground beetles, the last be-
ing beneficial insects. The total
sum, therefore, for the 80 days is
1865 beneficial insects and 9,720 in
furious ones destroyed.
English and French gardeners ap,
preciate the value of toads and as
high as $25 per hundred is said tt
be often paid for them,

Growing Willows for Basket Max
ing May Prove Highly
Profitable.

In cooperation with the United
States Forestry Service the Forestry
Department of the Agricultural
College has started an experiment
to determine the species of basket
willow best suited to the climate of
Missouri. The state has a large
area of land lying along its rivers
which is subject to annual overflow
and is, therefore, not suited for or
binary crops. but which would be
admirably adapted to growing the
basket willow.
An acre of suitable land will
produce from 1000 pounds to 1900
pounds of willow whips each year.
They have an average value of five
to seven cents pound. The de-
mand for willow rods of high grade
for the manufacture of baskets and
willow furniture is constantly in
creasing. At present the United
States imports over 100000
pounds annually. 1t is believed
that there is large future for the
industry in Missouri.
After determining the proper
species for the state, the Agricultur-
al College will endeavor to foster
the industry by the distribution of
cuttings.

Corn Cultivation.

by Manager 5. M. Jordan of the
Pettis County Bureau of Agricul-
ture.
A few years ago the only race at
I this season was as to who could get
done planting first The game in
Pettis County seems to nave chang
ed and now it is who can gtt his
seed bed in the finest shape?"
must say that | never saw fan
cier work done. In only rare cases
do bad clods appear. Some seem
as yet not to have caught the idea
| Most of the corn fields are like gar
dens. This is certainly WISE as it
means much easier and better
work from now on.
1t is evident that if the seed
planted grows, something Of a corn
crop is sure as when men prepare
such seed beds as we find in Pettis
County these same men will do the
best of the work ahead as it
should be
There were only a few fields, com
paratively, when the ground was
not disced ahead of the pillow. Then
most of them were narrowed and
disced and narrowed again. Some,
however plowed first and plowed
the entire field, leaving the clods to
dry and harden, Then they will
hope for a rain to come to soften
their clods, in fact, they seem to
hope that Providence will do the
big end of their farming. These
can't expect much. Some corn that
has been planted and not yet up
has had one cultivation already
with a harrow.
When the time comes for the cul-
tivator, deep blowing is safe and
often advisable the first time. This
is true where the ground may have
been packed pretty closely. Corn
roots cut at this first blowing can
not do much harm, and, in some
instances. actually do good.
AS the season progresses it is
commonly best to cultivate a little
shallower each subsequent time and
laying by as few roots as possible
should be disturbed.
Deep cultivation late in the sea
son should be avoided if possible
Sometimes this deep work may be
necessary when heavy rains may
have run the soil together and weed:
have the start and cannot be killed
by shallow work
On rolling ground the land should
be ridged as little as possible. 1
, is sometimes necessary 70 ridge OF

deep cultivation is sometimes best
The methods must be determin &c
by the conditions.
When the season is very dry,

for the late work is often best. Thu
