Sat least four hundred teachers

intendent of the Bemidji schools, in
speaking of the meeting of the North
western and North Central Minneso-
ia Educational associations, which is
to be held in this city on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.

formation have been able to gather
every school in the districts compris-
ed in the two associations will be- re-
presented at the meeting.
With the exception of the enter
tainment to be given Friday evening,
when the visitors will be the guests

Small Admission Charge
An admission of twenty-five cents
will be charged for each of the

Superintendent Dyer is of the opin-
ion that the only trouble to be en-
countered during the convention will
be in rooming the visitors. Mr.. Dyer
says that the residents of the city
have been liberal in offering rooms,
but that the large attendance will
likely cause some Inconvenience.

MINNESOTA CATTLE
MART FOR EMPIRE.
Prof. r. n. Washburn, Unworthy
Husbandry Expert, Says Farmers
Of This State Have Great Chance
SAYS SITUATION IS UNExcELLED
Canadian And Northwestern Buyers
Find This Logical Point If Stock Is
Raised Can Afford Better Prices

{. Minnesota stock raisers have an
opportunity to supply the market Of
all Canada and Northwestern
United States for the next twenty
five or thirty years, according to r..
NJ. Washburn, PROFESSOR of dairy
husbandry at the Minnesota college
OF agriculture. Their opportunity
lies in the fact that farmers in Can
ada have to cross Minnesota to buy
cattle. he explained. They cannot go
west, and they cannot go north for
their stock, and if Minnesota farm
ers take advantage of their geograph-
ical location and provide marketable
animals of high grade the Canadians
will meyer 90 further to buy, Prof.
Washburn predicted. a---~-.
Farms Exhausted
The single crop system of farm
ing that has been in vogue in the
state for so long, in the southern sec
ton especially, has exhausted the
farms, just as it has elsewhere" he
said. Farmers are beginning to re-
alize the mistake they have made
and are looking to more balanced
type of farming, with more attention
to the live stock phase of the in
dustry. Still greater attention will
be paid to this feature when farm
ers realize what profitable field is
opening before them.
Cooperation An Aid
"Co-operative community selling
associations will grow among the
farmers before disposing of any sur
plus cattle If they begin raising
stock. Such an organization should
increase their profits about $40 on
each animal sold. Through an asso-
citation the farmers can get their
stock together at one time and ad-
vertise their sales properly Then
when the Canadian buyer, who is
looking for stock shows up, he will
be PLAID to pay better price right
on the spot instead OF travelling
around the country looking for ami
mails" sasSs.. s..~. .- e. ~.s
