Tells OF WORK
AT STATE FARM
Superintendent A. J. Mcclure Rounds
Decade And Tells Of Experiences
During That Time
PLANS SYSTEM OF FARMING
Believes That Dairy Farming Is The
Most Profitable And Entirely Prac-
teal For Majority Of Farmers

After ten years of work as super
intendent of the Northeast Expert
ment farm at Grand Rapids, superin-
tendent A. J. Mcclure has issued q
bulletin giving the results of his OBJ
serl atoms and labor The superin-
tendent starts out by saying that his
chief aim during the time he has had
charge of the farm has been to work
out system of farming that would
be most profitable and practical for
the farmers Of the timbered sections.
The report says:
"We have found that dairy farm
ing for general conditions is, with
out any question, the most profitable,
and entirely practical for the great
majority of farmers. Hog raising, to
limited extent, and poultry raising
be carried on with dairying. Beef
cattle and sheep can be kept to ad-
'oh.]SC uAuCi SCl Idl1 COuulLIOuS,
but the dairy COW should be the
foundation of agriculture in the tim
bered section"
In. speaking of the best crops to
be grown in the section, Superinten-
dent, Mcclure says that it has been
found that oats, clover, fodder corn,
potatoes and rutabagas are the most
profitable field crops, for general
Any Or all Of the field
crops common to Minnesota can be
grown, but for the farm of 40 acres
or less under the plow, the crops
mentioned will prove of the most ad-
vantage as the principal field crops.
IN certain locations and under GER
tain conditions farmers may special
lie to advantage in vegetables and
small fruits, but as yet the field for
this is limited. -
Ever since taking charge of the
work there it has been the conten-
ton of Supt. Mcclure that the small
farm, we'll titled, is greatly to be pre-
ferred to large clearings of less in
tensive cultivation. In this connec-
ton the report says:
Then necessity of clearing the
land compels small fields; but we
have found in dairy farming, with
the right system of cropping, farm
er can succeed and make a splendid
income with only II acres, or even
less under the pillow. or man with
little capital and not much help in
his family, who is to begin a farm in
the timbered section, 40 acres of good
land is sufficient, and it is generally
a misfortune for such a man to pur-
chase over 80 acres of unimproved
Land in that the purchase of the land
takes the capital which is required
to prepare and improve the land for
profitable production"

ENTERS RACE
Will Be Candidate for Alderman In
Third Ward-Petition Now Being
Circulated-0pposes 0mich.
CANDIDATES SLOW TO FILE

r. L. Guenther will be candidate
for alderman in the third ward. This
announcement was made today, and
the petition requiring that his name
be placed on the ballot at the Febru-
airy election, is practically ready for
fling. 1t is being circulated by
Thomas Maloy.
Not until residents. of the third
ward urged that he consent to enter
the race did Mr.. Guenther do so. He
says that he does not care to mix
up in politics, but that he is willing
and anxious to serve the citizens of
Bemidji, if no one else in his ward
wishes to make the race. Mr.. Guen-
Their says that he does not believe
that the office should go to the So
cialists by default.
Mr.. Guenther will be opposed by
J. P. Omich, who was last Sunday
nominated to make the race by the
Socialist referendum. Mr.. Omich
was defeated a year ago by Alderman
Bisiar.
AS yet no candidate for office has
filed. The reason for the late filing
is given as being on account Of the
expense account law. February Z is
the last day on which any one may
file. There will be contest for ev-
cry city Office.

CITY HALL DOOR
LOCKED TO SIMS
Unable To Gain Entrance For Anti
Catholic Lecture Advertised For
Last Night and Talks From Steps
FREE SPEECH Go1NG,o HE SAYS
City Attorney Russell, Still Main
tains That Public Place Cannot Be
Used For sectarian Purposes

That the city of Bemidji will be
made defendant to law suit because
of the refusal to permit Walter Sims
anti-Catholic speaker, to lecture, was
the announcement made by the lee
turer from the steps of the city hall
last evening.
Two padlocks were found on the
door of the hall when it was visited
by Mr.. Sims, and his Bemidii mana
ger, M. E. Ibertson. w. A. Walker,
who has charge of the city hall
nights, was requested to produce the
key, but could not. Mr.. Lbertson
then said that as the rent had been
paid for the hall, a request made for
the key, and the non-filling of the
contract made with the city clerk, the
city of Bemidji would be made to pay
for the insult.
Sims Talks
Mr.. Sims then went to the front
steps of the hall and said that his
lecture would of course have to be
postponed. But that a contract had
been broken and the city would have
to stand for the consequences. He
said that his talks were not against
any religion and he challenged any
priest of the city to meet him in a
debate on, "The Pope and Politics"
That freedom of speech is rapidly
Ibecomeing a thing of the past and
that in the near future there will
practically be none at all, if the Ca
tholics are not checked in their efforts
to secure political control, was point
ed out by the talker.
Will Remain Here
He made the statement that the
city would be defendant in an action
brought for breaking contract.
While it had been expected that the,
lectures would not he given here be-
cause of the incident last night,
such will not be the case. The first
one will be given this evening, and
according to Mr.. Sims, in the city
hall. 49,. ..5
Door To Remain Locked
But such will not be the case If
Mr.. Russell has his way about the
matter. Mr.. Russell maintains his
position as taken yesterday when he
said that public place cannot be
used for sectarian purposes, and says
that only judicial action can force
the unlocking of the hall to Mr.. Sims
and his followers. K
Public Divided
Public opinion is about evenly d.
vided on the matter many claiming
that the hall should have been turn
ed over for the lectures and others
feeling that the action taken was
correct.
