FARMER TELLS Of SUCCESS
A. J. Trusty Of Port Hope Says Any
thing Will Grow on Lands Of
Beltrami County.
GOOD MONEY IN SUGAR CANE

Thirty years ago A. J. Trusty, nov
one of Beltrami county's most en-.
thusiastic and successful farmers, set.
tied on little farm in Hubbard
county. Twenty years later he re-
solved that greater opportunities
awaited him in North Dakota and he
moved to that state" z-A - r
Failing to realize his ambitions Mr.
Trusty came to Beltrami county
purchasing farm of 81 acres in the
Town of Port Hope, his postoff1ce ad.
dress being Spur, six years ago. Since
that time he cleared more than thirty
acres of land and has grown all kinds
OF garden produce, wheat, corn, oats
alfalfa, tobacco and sugar cane, the
latter being of the Minnesota Early
Amber variety.
II am here today to attend the
Farmers Institute, and if I were ask
ed to tell what I think of Betlrami
county lands would have to say that
have found them capable of grow
ing anything" said Mr.. Trusty. '1
would not change my location fol-
any consideration for I am here to
stay. like the spirit of such meets
as this one today and only hope that
the slogan of your city, $4,000 popu-
lation in 1925 will be made a
reality"
Three years ago Mr.. Trusty plant
ed plot of sugar cane. A year later
he planted another and last year two
acres of land were devoted to the
crop. Each crop was a success and
he averaged 202 gallons of excellent
molasses to the acre, valued at Is
cents per gallon.
II wish that more farmers would
take an interest in the growing of
sugar cane," said Mr.. Trusty. ''There
is good money in it and an appsr-
AUS, consisting OF a press and evap-
orator, can be purchased at low
cost. With my machine l can turn
out so to so gallons Of molasses a
day. With a little larger machine
and man to assist 100 gallons could
be made in a day.
At the state fair of last year Mr..
Trusty's carrots and tobacco took sew
eral premiums. Next spring he will
set out 1900 tame strawberry plants,
devoting half an acre to their growth.
He prefers the Dunlay variety, and
brought As plants from Iowa a year
ago.
Mr.. Trusty's plan, which he always
follows, is to grow produce for which
there is ready market, and reasons
that his success shows the worthiness
of his method

Protects State Resources.
1T has been the policy Of the state
in the creation of the forest service
to protect the forest resources of the
state, regardless Of ownership" said
Mr.. Cox, "but # the only duty OF
the service is to guard state lands
the problems, an entirely different
one. It is not feasible to protect
state lands alone and more than it
would be to have separate fire depart
ments for each city block or even each

watches over the entire city and the
forest service covers the entire wood
ed section of the state for the same
reason-that is that fires must be
fought wherever they appear. Set
tiers are widely scattered in the

it is manifestly unfair to place upon
them the burden Of protecting them

High School Basketball Five swamps
Visitors, Winning by Score of 63
to 10-Aitkin Tonight.
CONTEST FOR DISTRICT TITLE

Bewildered by the speed and team
play of the Bemidji high school bas-
ketball team, the Akeley quint was
last night defeated by the overwhelm-
ing score of 60 to 10.
The second team of the Bemidji
school started the game and after a
few minutes of play and while lead
ing by good margin, the regulars
were sent in by Coach Bestul. From
then on the contest proved a walk
away and points were rolled up by
Bemidji in a most rapid manner.
Captain Johnson and Tanner, Be-
midji's sensational forwards, thrilled
the crowd time after time by their
marvellous play and their basket
shooting was revelation, each Sc
curing eleven counters. The guard
ing of Bailey and Fred Graham feat
ured and only two baskets were Sc
cured by the visitors, coming in the
last half on long shots. Cameron
played strong game as usual.
For Akeley, Woock, center, starred.
He was the whole strength of the
Akeley defense and his dribbling was
good. He scored six of the ten
points registered by his team mates
on foul throws.
The second team, R. Brooks, w.
Walker, Warield, George Graham
and D. Carney, played good basket
ball while in the game, and would
have won by a substantial score if
allowed to finish the game.
The score:
