Home Town.
HOLDS RECEPTION JULY 4TH.

Sank Centre is proverably modest
and it is not generally known that
few cities of the same size in this
state has furnished SO many men who
have been prominent in every line Of
human endeavor and been factors in
the destiny of the state and nation.
In the earlier statehood days Sank
Centre furnished one of the most sue
cessful and popular Lieutenant Gov
ernors that ever presided over the
State Senate.
A former Sank Centre boy served
eight years in congress with credit to
himself and to the satisfaction of his
constituency.
For many years the Chairman of the
State Board Of Equalization was
resident of this CRY.
One of our citizens for many years
was an active and influential member
of the Board of Directors of the Deaf
and Dumb school at Faribault.

;own to barley. The G. N. experts gave

sown to barley. The G. N. experts gave
the tract special treatment by using a
commercial fertilizer which consisted
of 800 pounds Of acid phosphate and
80 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre,
costing S49.5 SO per ton in carload lots
while the acid phosphate can be laid
down in Sank Centre for SIT per ton
in carload lots. The tracts were sown
to barley and the results are astound-
ing. The Great Northern tract pro-
duced 43.12 bushels per acre and the
tract grown by the farmer produced
trifie over "a bushels.
The speakers all contended the use
of the commercial fertilizer would be
absolutely unnecessary if the farmers
would rotate their crops, grow alfalfa,
and keep cattle in large numbers in
order that the alfalfa can be returned
to the land in the shape of fertilizer.
Alfalfa was worth more in beef than
in the stack.
The silo was generally commended
and every farmer was urged to erect
one of some. kind. Anything air-tight
would answer the purpose. Mr.. Crane
stated that the coming season Mr..
Hill expected to plant in the neigh
borhood of 5000 acres of alfalfa be-
tween st. Paul and the Montana line
and that a number of plots would be
raised in the territory adjacent to
Sank Centre.
DIR. Dubois, Hon. Frank Minette,
Supt. Aygarn and DR.. Hennemann,
president of the Commercial Club,
also delivered short talks in which
they commended the work being done
by the Great Northern in this respect
and urging every business man and
farmer to give Mr.. Crane and his as
sistants every cooperation possible in
carrying on this splendid work for the
development of this section.
1t was planned to hold several
meetings during the fall and winter
at which farmers will be urged to at
tend, at which time experts will be
on hand to deliver practical and help
full talks and answer any questions.

the author of books of wide circula-

one who has done as much to make
the name Sank Centre familiar the
world around as Fred w. Carpenter,
the present minister to Siam from
the United States.
Mr.. Carpenter was born in this city
in 1882, and is the nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. c. M. Sprague of this city and in
the 81 years of his life has crowded
more achievement than most men
have been able to do in three score
years and ten.

school in this city. When he was
eight years cid he removed with his
parents to California. He afterwards
returned 20 this state and graduated
from the law department of the Uni
