CORN Is BETTER THAN GOLD
Tayenner Believes Corn Will Give
Greater Opportunity to Young Man
Than Did Placer Mines.
YIELDS 100 BUSHELS TO ACRE
Department of Agriculture Creating
Interest Among Boys Clubs-Free
Trip to Washington, D. c.
By. Congressman Clyde H. Tavenne

By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
Washington, June 30.-"Boys,
grow corn" is now established as the
slogan Of the department of agricul-
ture. The sentence has taken the
place of Horace Greeley's famous adj
vice, young man, go west"
In the past five or six years the de-
partment has shown by demonstra-
ton that for young men there is
greater opportunity in producing the
gold of the corn crop than there ever
was in gathering the gold from the
placer mines of California.
: For no 1O-year period has the corn
yield of the United States exceeded
an average of 28 bushels per acre.
Not even the most fertile state has
ever produced of 54 bushels per acre.
Yet in practically every section of
the country yields of over 100 BUSH
els are continually being produced by
good farmers.
There are untold billions of dollars
which can be added to the wealth Of
the nation by increasing the corn
production. No other line of activity
offers such opportunities.
The hope of the Department and of
the country is in the boys, They,
more quickly than men, grasp the
scientific principles underlying the
successful breeding of corn for great
er crops. Youthful enthusiasm guar
antees that the principles once learn
ed will be applied to actual corn pro-
duction with consciousness and
perseverance.
Consequently we see the great and
growing organizations of Boys corn
clubs, promoted by schools, states, in
dependent organizatins and the ma
tional department of agriculture.
Each year the champion boy corn
growers of each state are given free
trip to Washington, where they meet
the president and receive diplomas
from the secretary of agriculture.
+@ The work of getting boys inter-
ested in championship corn contests
has advanced to point where the de-
partment is now showing it's hand
how it intends to utilize this organi-
zation of boys in the future. A bull
letin has just been issued on the sub
ject, and one sentence in the bulletin

Win by Close Margin McKeig's
Pitching Saves Game.

Winning its fifth game out of seven
played the "Big Bemidg" baseball
team defeated the Bagley city team
by the score of 9 to 8 yesterday after
noon on the local diamond. The Bag
ileites were unable to connect with the
ball delivered by McKeig and Bemidji
easily gained lead. In the seventh
inning with the score Of Z to 2 the
local manager thinking the game
saved and wishing to save McKeig for
the Fourth, took the big chief from
the box and substituted Baumgardner.
1t being the latter's off day, he show
ed little skill and allowed several men
to walk and numerous hits. At the
end Of the eighth the score was a tie,
and McKeig was restored to the
mound and held his opponents at his
mercy, allowing one more tally. Be-
midi brought in two more runs dur
ing the two innings winning the game
by one point.

Merchants Trimming Windows.

Bemidji merchants have entered
into the Fourth of July spirit and
have decorated their windows and
stores with suitable trimmings for
this occasion. The Bazaar store was
the first to have the windows decorat-
ed in the American colors, but was
closely followed by F. A. Megroth and
several other merchants.
Scott Stewart, window trimmer
for Roe and Markusen is credited
with the most unique display to date.
In the middle of big display of a
varieties of crackers he has placed a
sign inscribed with "Crackers for q
Sane Fourth" Many merchants are
planning to change their displays
before the Fourth and trim with
more suitable decorations.

ILLUSTRATES WHERE IT PAYS
ADVISES TO STICK BY PLANT
Editor Of the Pioneer,
!. Bemidji, Mimi,

80. aDtMluJl, WILL, -.z,-r -. -
Dear Sir
The condition of the creamery in
Bemidji at present reminds me of the
conditions in Olmstead county rs or
80 years ago. Farms were not pay
ing as they should and were all heav-
lily .mortgaged. Buildings were: in
poor condition, prices for dairy pro-
ducts were low and farmers were
pretty thoroughly Disguised with life.
Cheese factories were prevalent
Throughout the county, but the price
of cheese was 6 u cents and 8 cents
at it's highest. Butter was 10 cents
or IL cents per pound. Someone con-
-ceived the idea of starting a cream
cry. Of course the idea was laughed
at and it was said the thing would
only fail, but this did not happen to
be the case and before long cheese
factories we're transformed into but
termaking plants and as a conse-
quence the price Of cheese had risen
to where it is today, from IA to- 20
cents per pound. Butter has ,contin-
ued to rise in value until it does not
go. below rs cents in summer and Oft
en- reaches As cents in winter in old
established creameries. 5 The particu,
referred to is the cream.
cry at Byron, nine miles from Roch-.
ester, Olmstead county, this state.
Within 10 years from the time it was
started the mortgaged farms were.
cleared and large barns and silos
were erected followed by large
houses to live in and today those far
mers are enjoying life as only we'll
TODD farmers can. Automobiles, tele-
phones, rural mail delivery and every
other luxury possible is enjoyed by
them, almost entirely due to the fact
that they started along right lines at
the right time. Now the question
arises why can't Bemidji have
such a creamery?" One that operates
the year round and pays Duluth
prices for butterfat?
Here are some reasonable answers
to these questions:
First, the farmers in this locality
are not cooperating as they should.
Gin unity there is strength is as
true today as it ever was. It" stands
to reason that if a project is started
whereby every farmer is to be benefit
ed in the long run, and because the
results are a little slower in coming
than few expected they are induced
by some side issue that offers mo-
mentary gain of a few cents to sell
their produce elsewhere that the
project will be weakened to such an
extent that it cannot offer as good
an outlet for the produce as it would
have done if each farmer had been
loyal to his home project.
Then again the creamery in Benz
|idji is suffering to a certain extent
because the price of dairy butter is
held too high at this season of the
year. Farmers figure that they, are
loosing too much money by patroniz-
ing the creamery whereas the truth
of the matter is they are going to get
acknowledgements
