NORTHWEST CROP
WILL Be LARGE

st. Paul, July 11.-Repetitions OF
the banner crops of 1915 in the north
west is forecast for this year by the
reports of crop conditions being re.
ceived in St. Paul
Warm weather of the past few days
has caused corn to take a sudden
squirt and while condition of "knee
high by the Fourth of July" has not
been entirely realized, a continuance
of growing weather means a crop at
least up to normal, it is said.
Corn Promising.
Northern Pacific railroad officials
while saying it is too early to est
mate the yield say that corn in Min
nesota, North Dakota, Montana, Nor
thern Idaho and Washington along
the Northern Pacific, though late, is
doing remarkably we'll.
A record hay crop in Minnesota is
promised. Weather conditions have
been ideal, reports throughout the
state say, and indications are that
hay production will touch a new high
mark. .-vs
A remarkable increase in alfalfa
acreage in Minnesota also is reported
Hitherto farmers have given little at
tention to alfalfa, but the great sue
cess experienced in its growing in the
northwest has caused it's sudden pop
ularity.
Conditions Good.
conditions are excellent all along
the Great Northern" reports given
out by that road say. "Production of
small grains is UP to that last year.
and barring drouth and rust, record
harvests may be expected. Hay
promised to be one of the greatest
features. Weather conditions have
been remarkably favorable"

Governor to Call Special Election.

Since the death of Congressman Will
liam G.. Brown there has been much
specula ton as to how his successor shall
be chosen. The statute provides that IF
there be vacancy in the representation
from the state in the congress OF the
United States, the Governor shall, with
il 10 days after the facts come to his
knowledge, give notice thereof by proc
lamation. to be published in such news
papers in the district where such vacancy
may occur, as he deems best calculated
to give information thereof to the voters
of such districts.
''In such proclamation he shall APP
point some day, not more than seventy
FIVE nor less than thirty days from the
date thereof. for holding the election to
fill such vacancy, which election shall be
held by the commissioners of election in
each county in the district accordingly;
and said commissioners shall make re-
turn of the results of such election in the
same manner as is prescribed by law IN
case of the election cf such representa-
tive in congress for full term"
Nomination of candidates for the I'M
expired term will be made in the manner
that has heretofore prevailed, the new
primary law specifically providing that
nominations for vacancies shall not be
held under the direct primary rules.
Heretofore each party held what was
known as county primaries, or mass
meetings. IN each of the magsterial dis.
tricts, and these district meetings select.
cd delegates to the delegates to the coun.
ty, congressional and state nominating
conventions, This plan will, therefore
be followed in the nomination of candi
dates to succeed Mr.. Brown. only dele.
gates to the congressional convention be
ing selected.
Jefferson County Democrats are en-.
titled to 20 votes in the congressional
convention, divided among the magiste
rial district in proportion to the vote cas-
for Wilson at the last presidential cleo.
