horses with a well.built drag can

it has been decided to extend the

he must be pupil of a rural school.

STATE ROADS TO
CONNECT TOWNS
SOME STATE ROADS TO BE
ABATED.
County Commissioners Take No
Action but VIII Meet again
Monday, when Some Sng-
gested State Roads VIII Be
Considered.


The county commissioners have
been in session this week d the
all important question of state roads
has been discussed repeatedly, but
nothing very definite done. The
state highway commission desries to
cut the state road mileage to about
ten per cent of the total and subo
mitted to the boards of the Sc
counties a tentative plan of state
roads connecting the important towns.
This map eliminates all the state
roads of this county except the one
along the Great Northern, the one
east and west, the one running south
between Scott and Darnen townships
and the one north between Framnas
and Morris. It is apparent from a
study of the map and the circular
which accompanied it, (and frcm the
we'll known policy of the commission)
that the commission desires simple to
impress the Importance of the point
that state roads must lead from town
to town. The particular routes
chosen were obviously selected be-
cause they happened now to be state
roads and not necessarily because
the commission esteemed them the
best.
4 State roads must both be estab-
lished and ahsted by joint action of
the county commissioners and the
state commission Except under cer-
tain circumstances) but the county
commissioners at this meeting
neither approved nor disapprOved
the state roads selected for abate.
ment by the state commission.
The Morris Auto Club againsub nit
ted their plan for comprehensive
system of state roads for the coun-
ty, but the commissioners took no
action on it because Of the opin.
ion that to establish it would be
asking for larger share of state
roads than this county is entitled to,
The plan is so manifestly in har-
mony with the principles of the state
highway commission that the state
commission would certainly look up
on it with favor. It differs from the
: state plan only in providing a state
road building program which would
> require more than three years to COM
! plete. J,
0 The commissioners will meet again
e on Monday, and at that time resolu-
tions will be presented for a state
r road from Hancock to Hoffman. from
+ Alberta to Donnelly, and north and
e south thru Chokio as part of what
: is known as the Herman Madison
road. If these resolutions were
y adopted. all of which are a part OF
J the Auto clubs plan. it would appear
f that it would be well to give the COM
y mission opportunity to pass on the
whole plan. The other parts of the
/ plan are a road from Elbow Lake
0 to Appleton thru Morris, road south
il from Alberta. one southwest from
0 Hancock and one from Donnelly tc
It Dumont.
0 Routine business was transacted by
0 the board. Five hundred dollars was
g reappropriated FOR state road No. II

CORN AND ALFALFA
TO BE FEATURES
SHOW TO BE HELD AT
MORRIS NEXT FALL.
Two Crops to Lead in Exhibi-
ton for the First Time in
Minnesota. Develo p pment
Association to Meet at the
Same Time.

Corn and alfalfa. coming factors
of great Importance in Minnesota
agriculture, will hold the center of
the stage for the first time IN this
state at Morris. Dec. 3, a and 5. On
those dates "Corn and Alfalfa ex-
position" will be given under the
auspices of the West Central Mime.
sofa Development association, which
will conduct its winter meeting at the
same time and place.
Preliminary plans for the exposi-
tion have just been made, and the
work of assembling exhibits has been
placed in the hands of P E. Miller,
agronomist at the experiment sub
station at Morris. He is secretary
in charge of the exposition, and an
nounces that So, 900 will be given in
premiums for corn and alfalfa exhibits.
the prizes being open to the whole
state.
The show is considered most timely
for the reason that corn never has
promised a betteZ yield in Minnesota
than this year, while alfalfa for the
first time has become an important
crop in the state, with fine record
for yield and income per acre. Small
grains have been curtailed in yield by
the dry weather of June. but this
seems to have had no bad effect
either on corn or alfalfa. This is
having the effect of causing farmers
to turn more than ever over to these
crops, and to the revolution in agri-
culture which they involve. a change
from exclusive grain farming to dairy.
ing and stock raising. with scientific
crop rotation.
Morris tribune., 1913-07-18
Alfalfa Growing Increases.

t'Alfalfa acreage has been greatly
increased in western Minnesota this
year." said Mr.. Miller, in an inter-
view published in Sundays Mime
apolis Journal. ''Fully 800 far
Eaers in our section of the state put
in alfalfa this season, and the re-.
turns from the fields already in have
been fine. Last season alfalfa fields
averaged four and half tons to the
acre in three cuttings which meant
an income of $50 to the acre, or all
most enough to pay for the land.
Alfalfa this year is now about ready
for it's second cutting and shows no
bad effects from dry weather which
followed the first cutting. Neither
did our dry weather hurt the corn
crop. Our farmers under the stimu-
lus of the county agricultural agents,
are turning more from the old sys-
tenn of grain farming to dairying
and livestock. and to corn and alfalfa,
which they must have for successful
farming in these lines. By proper
rotation with these crops they keep
up soil fertility and increase the
value of their farms. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that the work of the
West Central Development associa-
tion and of the county agricultural
experts in the last year and half
has increased the value of farms in our
section of the state 10 to 15 per
cent.
Corn acreage is increasing each
year, and last year in one township
in Stevens county there were as many
acres of corn as of wheat. In five
years corn acreage in western Mime
sofa is more than doubled. This is
due largely to the improved varieties
and cave taken in seed selection,
which each year makes more certain
the maturity of a good crop. Last
year, thuoRh not good corn year,
many large fields in our section aver.
aged sixty to seventy bushels.
Balanced Ration Displayed.
q We think it is fitting that corn
and alfalfa, the crops which go with
the new farming, and which make
the ideal balanced ration, shall be the
subject of an exposition. This will
be the first corn and alfalfa show in
Minnesota, and we expect to make il
8 great success. We will have coun-
ty exhibits from the seventeen coun.
ties in our association. and the com,
mercial clubs of the different towns
will give prizes to stimulate exhibitI
at the show. We will have at the
meeting of the association some Of
the best speakers on the subjects Of
corn and alfalfa raising, with the
kindred subjects of dairying and stock
raising. The Morris armory will b
used for the show, and the opars
