Moore of the state fair association
The poster will be sent to all the
county officers in the state with the
request that they be hung in their Of
fees where hey will attract the at
tention of farmers. They will also
be sent out generally to the banks of
the state.
This action upon the part of the
fair association is in line with its poll
cy of giving greater prominence to its
educational features, as was strongly
brought out in the recent Corn and
Clover convention. 1t is the plan of
the men in charge Of the work to be
of assistance to the farmers of the
state at all seasons and not merely
during the process of the several ex-
hibitions.
Another aid which the officials of
the state fair stand ready to perform
for the people Of the state is to put
them in touch with those who have
high grade live stock for sale, and as
they are brought in contact with these
breeders at the fairs and otherwise,
they are in position to render valu-
able assistance.

MiddIeWeSt fire Co.

FURNITURE MOVING PROBLEM
solved BY LOCAL CONCERN
LAST DAY IN CITY.
(From Fridays Daily

(From Fridays Daily
The Middlewest Fire Insurance Com
pany, which after tomorrow will be
merged with the Twin City Fire In
surance company of Minneapolis, has
solved the problem of rapid moving.
The nature of the Mitdlewest's bus
mess is such that it could i'll afford to
lose day on the books, or in the hand
ling of the routine work of the office,
and accordingly preparations were
made, when it was decided to move,
which would obviate an interruption.
An express car was chartered from
the Northern Pacific, and after the
close of the days work, tonight, the
furniture, books and other parapher-
MALTA will be loaded into the car, ready
for shipment. Train No will pick
it up at S13 tonight, together with the
clerks and Office help of the company,
and will deposit them at 700 a. m. to-
morrow morning in Minneapolis.
Arrangements have been made for
the rapid handling of the baggage from
the Union station, and at 900 o'clock
tomorrow morning the greater part of
the furniture and books will be in
place in the new Offices in the Elk S
building, and the work will go on un-
interrupted.

Fair Association
Sends WdrninQ
TELLS FARMERS TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT TESTING SEED
CORN

1t is not unusual for home
grown or purchased seed corn to fail
to terminate. Every ear intended for
planting, whether purchased or select
ed at home, should be carefully tested.
Some good ears may be round in ev-
cry lot of seeds. Only those germinat
ing strongly should be used. The in
dividual earliest will help you find the
corn that will grow. A fair test with
proper conditions. To secure fair
test, keep the cloth on the germina-
tor moist, and set the box in warm
room, 60 to Is degrees F., for from
five to seven days. Count the seeds
showing strong termination, and get
the percentage of termination Of each
ear. Eliminate the ears that show
weak termination and those that do
not terminate. Do not plant ears that
terminate less than 80 per cent, I'M.
less absolutely necessary. If you must
buy seed corn, buy it on the ear; then
you can test and see what you are get
ting.
The above warning is part of a post
er dealing with the problem of testing
seed corn which is being sent out to
all parts of the state by Secretary

Oemented Man Escapes
From Local HOSPITAL
PATIENT ELUDES VIGILANCE OF
NURSES AND is CAUGHT Az
TER LONG CHASE.
(From Fridays Daily)

(From Fridays Daily
Clad principally in the cool morning
air, and his night clothing, a patient
at a local hospital eluded the vigi-
lance of the nurses who were watch
ing him, and escaped early today.
The man, whose name is Schwerdler
has been suffering from dementia and
on making his escape took course
down the river, running through the
snow along the river bank and across
the fields for several miles.
The pursuing party, which set out
after him almost at once, found him
finally, somewhat wearier, but en-
tirely unframed, otherwise. Apparent
ly the morning air had acted as a
tonic.
The mans escape was made by way
Of the fire escape, at the hospital, but
the perilous descent was made with
the greatest ease. In the course Of his
perembulations over the country, Sch
werdler treated himself to cold bath
in the Sheyenne river, complete
ly submerging himself, in order to
cool off after his strenuous cross
country run. When his bath appeared
sufficient, he left the stream, and con-
tinued on his way.

the returns begin at once. This will
also be the indirect benefit. This
grove, if along the south side of a
field will have quite an influence on
the yield through lessening the effects
of hot winds. This is good law
from the standpoint of the county and
the state too, as the planting of trees
will have an appreciate effect on
winds and especially when the trees
planting becomes quite general. Every
farmer should put out grove. There
is no one thing that will do so much
