When General Huerta's latest note
expressing a desire for renewed nego

the American proposals was brought
here by a messenger Lind undertook
to conduct further negotiations from
Vera Cruz, unless ordered by Wash

rather than land wires and Mexican

Huerta notified Lind that his gov

at least in large part, on President
Wilson's proposals for the sake O.
bringing about international peace and
recognition from the United States.

GLE VISITS FARMERS
Reports Freese and Berg are Build.
ing New Silos and Barns for
Their Cattle.
URGES CUTTING OF ALFALFA

Bueford e. Gle high school agri-
culturist has contributed another
article to the readers of The Pioneer
on progress being made by two of our
energetic farmers, Edmund Berg and
F. M. Freese. He also states that
formers should now cut their alfalfa
for the last time this season so that
it will not be so tender and juicy
when the freezing weather begins.
His article is as follows:
Last week I had the pleasure of
looking over the farms of Edmund
Berg and F. M. Freese. Both of these
farmers live about three miles south
OF Bemidji and are doing all they
can to dvelop their farms. Mr.. Berg
is building cement silo IL feet un-
derground in the side of a bank and
next year plans on building new
barn so that it will be on a level
with the silo and partly surround it.
Mr.. Freese who is also building
silo has it fifteen feet underground
and opening into the barn. He is also
building his barn now and in such
manner that his COWS will not suffer
with cold in the winter time and re-
quire large amount of feed simply
to keep them warm. .s@.. g.
"Mr. Freese has a small patch Of
alfalfa as good as I ever saw any
where These gentlemen have solved
the freezing problem for silage and
those contemplating building a silo
should visit them No doubt they
would loan out their silo forms at
very reasonable figure which would
be around ten dollars. AS these forms
require about $50 worth Of lumber
and considerable work to make them
this would be an excellent arrange
ment." -

UNABLE TO ATTEND

Farmers from every section of Bel
trami County attended the farmers
meeting which was called yesterday
afternoon by q committee appointed
for that purpose by the Beltrami
County Development Association. W.
r. Mackenzie wired Harry Reynolds;
chairman of the committee late yes
terday morning that business in the
Twin Cities prevented him from at
tending the meeting.
Shortly after the meeting had been
called to order farmers representing
the various farmers clubs from town
ships in Beltrami county were called
upon to make a reportso Of the progress
made by their club. T AZ. Rode of Be-
midi township gave a short snappy
talk upon land clearing and stock
raising. Mr.. Rode presented some
valuable suggestions which he has
learned from practical experience.
Other farmers who talked upon the
same subject were: John Gilstead of
Blackjack, John Wilcox of Fowlds
and N. G. Reynolds Of Northern, be-
sides making valuable suggestions
each farmer emphasized the fact that
what the farmers of this county need
is a Farmers Loan Association. The
purpose Of this company would be to
make long time loans to the farmers
for the clearing of their land and the
purchase of stock.
This point was made so strong by
the farmers that the acting commit
tee was reappointed to Investigate
the present conditions Of the farmers
Eand to find out hows many would
make use Of the Loan Company If one
should be organized. The farmers
agitating the new company claim
that there are but a very few farmers
who have mortgages on their farms;
but who would take advantage of a
company who could lend money on
long time payments and at low
rate Of interest. -..-.... ..
The committee will also confer
with the local bankers to see at what
rate Of interest they can secure funds
to supply the farmers. If the interest
is not too high it is probable that i'm
mediate steps will be taken to organ
ize: The next farmers meeting will
be held October Fourth. Further de-
velopments will be shown at the next
meeting and preparations will be
made to establish permanent organ
ization to loan money to the farmers.
