HAVE COUNTY Man.
E. Nelson Believes Money Can Be
Raised For Another Agricul-
tural Expert.
WOULD WORK OUTSIDE THE CITY

A. E. Nelson, agricultural man of
the High school, believes that! it is
possible for Beltrami1county to raise
enough money to secure the services
Eofan agricultural expert who viii be
free. to give his time to the farmers
and who will have no teaching to do.
Should such a man be secured, he
would work with Mr.. Nelson in the
vicinity of Bemidji and alone in 9TH
er parts of the county.
= Mr.. Nelson has received an offer
from the American Association of
Grain Exchanges of $1,000 to be
used by a county man providing such
a man is hired for a term of at least
two years. This would give $500 a
year toward such a man.. Under the
present state law the county COM
missioners can appropriate 5000 a
year for a county man, the extension
division of the University has already
offered 5000 a year to aid Beltrami in
securing an expert and the United
States department of agriculture will
pay from $65 to 500 per month as
aid for any county man. r Bills are
being prepared for the legislature
which will authorize counties to
appropriate $1,000 a year and the
state a like sum.
If the county commissioners decide
that such a man would be of benefit
to the county, they have $3,4OO avail
able for use at the present time. Mr..
Nelson estimates that a good man
would cost $1,000 a year and that his
expenses would be about $500 so that
the total expense for two years would
be 5000. AS $3,400 is now avail
able, but 5000 a year must be raised
in order to secure a farm man.
Mr.. Nelson suggested this morning
that the 5000 could be raised by each
school district paying a poll tax on
it's pupils, the entire sum being pro
rated on the number of school chill
dren in the county. BY this method,
the more thickly settled communities,
which would have more use for the
county man, would pay more than the
| back country people.
It would be the duty of such an
employee to visit the farms, advise the
farmers as to best methods, assist in
tho holding Of short ScOurseS in small
town schools, and such other work
as might be needed to help Beltrami
farmers get the most from their ef-
forts.

Vote for Senator Tuesday.

~ ~
St. Paul, Jan. 18.-The election of
a United States senator from Mimi
esota, to succeed Sen. Knute Nelson,
whose term will expire March 4, was
made a special order of business for
IL o'clock next Tuesday noon, by the
senate at the Friday sehsion.
Although it seems to be a foregone
Conclusion that Senator Nelson will
be reelected for six years, the house
and senate will hold individual eau
cuses to nominate candidates Tuesday
noon. The final election will proba-
bly, take place the day following when
both bodies will meet in joint session.
Even the Democrats are morally
bound to vote for Senator Nelson I'M
der the terms of the direct primary
law, under which the present incum-
bent defeated the Democratic candi-
date.
Among the important bills intro
duced today, is one by Sen. ]. E. Hay
craft of Madelia, which proposes to
amend the law with refernece to the
adoption of amendments to the state
constitution. 1t provides that amend
ments may be submitted at special
as we'll as general elections and that
a majority of all of theses voting for
any amendment shall determine the
result. It is qualified, however, that
at least fifty percent of all of the cleo
tors must vote for a particular amend
ment. At present the law prescribes
that f~our-sevenths of all of the cleo
tors must vote favorably for an
amendment before it can be adopted.
This makes a failure to vote the same
as a vote against the amendment.

After a fight, in which the Bel
trami county delegation Of F. S. Arm
old and A. P. Ritchie appeared in.
the fore at all times, the State Agri-
cultural society, meeting in Minneap-
oils yesterday, adopted the following
resolution:
BE it resolved;
THAT the committee heretofore
appointed to consider the advisability
Of changing the date of the state fair
be and the same hereby is continued
in Office for the purpose of determin-
ing whether the time may be changed
to the satisfaction of all concerned;
and acting upon the recommendations
made by said committee, We favor
the second week in September as the
date for holding the Minnesota fair"
The Beltrami delegation went to
the meeting of the society with the
sole purpose of getting it on record
as favoring a later date for the fair
in order that the agricultural exhibits
of the northern counties might be
better. The fight on the resolution
came. over the part which puts the
society on record. The 1913 fair
must be held the first week in Sep
TENDER but with the state society on
record, the 1914 fair may come later.
{ The fight aslead by the Beltrami
delegation but Northern Minnesota
lined up solid behind the local men.
F. S. Arnold, who returned this
morning, was a member of the COM
mittee on resolutions and it was
largely due to his efforts that the
committee reported out the resolution
reading as it did. MI. Arnold said
this morning. that Northern Mime
sofa was handicapped as it had about
twenty-five out of ninety delegates
owing to the fact that many did not
attend and that others had neglected
their credentials.

was on this resolutions committee
and he succeeded in getting the So

of the county associations Is a basis,
the fight was waged in the state So
ciety.
Members Of the state society also
became engaged in a bitter. contro-

The state society will ask the legis-
lature to authorize cities and villages
to appropriate not than $4,000
a year for county fairs held in their
limits. 1t also asked for f1reproof
barns at the fair grounds and more
buildings for stock. 1t was decided
to set aside three per cent of the gate

Action in the House.

The first proposed law to be passed
by the 1913 legislature was created
Friday by the adoption by the house
of the senate bill repeating the act
to hunt rabbits with ferrets in Hen
nepin county. The senate has already
adopted the act and it only awaits the
governors signature to be the first
law on the statute books of this
years session.
The economy plan which appears
to pervade the house this session
again became evident when the COM

as against $1,000 paid by the state
two years ago. -
