PROF. JONES ON
| FARMERS CLUBS
MITCHELL MAN GIVES TEN REA-
SONS WHY THE FARMERS
SHOULD MAINTAIN OR
CARNATIONS.

Brookings, S. D.-"The farmer is
the only class of people who contin-
ually sells at wholesale and buys at
RETAIL" said Professor H. I. Jones of
Mitchell in an address before the
Country Life Conference of Brook
iAgs. Lack of organization and coop
GRAFTON is responsible for this state
of affairs. The cure, said Professor
Jones, lies partly in organizing farm
ers clubs for rural education and i'm
proving farming conditions and
marketing. BY proper organization
through clubs, he said, the farmer
may sell at better prices, but at more
favorable figures, may keep his boys
on the farm, and have a better appre-
citation of and respect for the bust
ness of farming.
Professor Jones enumerated ten
reasons why farmers clubs are eff
fective means of rural education and
rural progress. The first great bene-
fit to be derived from such clubs is
the fact that they break up isolation
and distrust between the farmers
themselves, regardless of religious,
social or financial differences. The
other nine results of the organization
of farmers clubs as outlined by Prof.
Jones, are: (2) social life is devel-
oped in the country, thereby making
the boys and girls unwilling to leave
it; CD farmers are induced to gath
er together for a common purpose;
CD club representatives at large
conferences may bring reports for
benefit to all: CD the clubs supple
ment and strengthen the work OF
the rural churches; CO.. makes it cas-
Ter to secure consolidated rural
schools; CD by cooperation these
clubs may effectively improve market
prices; (8) the clubs develop lead.
Iers; CD farmers learn to solve their
own problems through club organic.
alton or by personal effort; and (10)
tsuch clubs form a valuable adjunct to
the great extension work of the agri-
cultural college.
There is an enormous amount oil
work to be done for rural life," says

1000 PROCREssIVEs
VOTE IN R DAKOTA

Grand Forks, N. D.-Remarkably
fine weather prevailed today for the
North Dakota primaries, in which
Republicans, Democrats, Progressives
and Socialists will nominate state and
congressional tickets. Early reports
indicated the voting is exceptionally
heavy but it is estimated that fully
$4,000 of the total of 1900 Repub-
lican voters will remain at home,
that only half of the $4,000 Demo-
Gratis will participate. that less than
two thousand progressive votes will
be cast and that three to four thous-
and socialists will vote.

City Engineer s. III. Smith has
completed the crosslsectioh Soft the
site of the proposed new reservoir
and will forward the plans to LISP.
Wolff of St. Paul, consulting 6ngin-
eer. The proposed reservoir would
have a capacity of 100000 gallons of
water and it is estimated that it
would cost about $1,000.
The new reservoir would be cover
ed. The present open reservoir would
be used for reserve purposes. With
both reservoirs on hand, it would be
possible to use the present new tur-
bine pump about ten hours a day and
keep a sufficient quantity of water
In storage for ordinary purposes.
AT its meeting on June 1, the city
council authorized the purchase of a
deep we'll pump, of the air lift type,
to draw water from two of the old
wells. The new pump would be used
to supplement the electric turbine
pump recently installed and for IN
|ergency in case the turbine would
break down.
f, With the installation of the new
turbine pump, it was disclosed that
the water basin was drained and that
the old wells We're wholly inadequate.
A rest Of even a day for the turbine
failed to allow sufficient water into
the old wells for pumping. In Ease the
turbine should break down, the city
would be without fire protection. ex-
|cept for the water left in reservoirs.
1t would probably take several days
to repair the turbine and order new
parts. To remedy this condition the
emergency pump was deemed essen
tial.
The present turbine pump is cap
able of pumping from 600 to 700
gallons of water a minute. The new
air lift pump to be ordered would
have a capacity of 500 gallons, al
though this amount could not be rails
ed with pumps working simultan-
eously. But with both pumps in
working condition, sufficient water
could be pumped to meet any fire
demands for years to come.
Another problem has been raised
by the introduction OF one-inch noz-
zles to the fire streams. At the time
of the Mitchell hotel fire last Novem-
Der, sever, streams with ga inch noz-
zles were kept in play. With one-inch
nozzles, it is believed that more than
four or five streams could be main
tanned with the present pump that
the water from the reservoirs
into the mains.
According to the engineering de-
partment in another year a larger
pump will be necessary to maintain
an adequate water pressure in the
mains. A sufficient supply of water
is assured by the two deep we'll
pumps and the proposed new reser-
voir and then the problem will be
to force it into the mains in the
quantity needed for fires.
