WOMAN ADDRESSES
FARM CLUB MEETING
At Will GRAY FARM

Miss Bessie NJ. Rowe of the Uni
versity Extension division addressed
the members Of the Bemidji Town
ship farmers club at the Will Gray
farm Saturday, Aug. 12.-The occa-
sion was regular monthly meeting
at which more than 100 men, women
and children were present. Miss
Rowe spoke on Canning" and gave
many valuable suggestions to the
housewife with@reference to putting
up both fruits and vegetables for the
winter.
Dinner was served out of doors in
the Gray grove near the house. After
dinner, talks by members of the club
were given. A. r, Rako was assign
ed the subject of Taxes" and COM
pared Beltrami county with other
counties in this state showing why
the present rate of taxes was neces-
sary in order to carry on the work.
1--WE are paying high taxes said
Mr. Rako, -'but aren't we getting
something for our. money. I think
the progress we are making is worth
the price," 81.
B. M. Gile, high school agricultur-
ist, talked on dairying. He said: II
have visited many farms in this sec
ton during the past month. Some
farmers have been here fifteen years
and have no more than when they
came; while 9th efs have made good
money and rapid progress. In each
case where the farmer has gotten
ahead I find that he has gone into
dairying to a more or less extent.
Outside of truck gardening near a
good market, believe dairying is
what farmer must get into in or
der to make money"
Robert Forslund, one Of the sue
cessful corn growing farmers, was
called upon to tell how he does 1t.
Mr.. Forslund told of the work con-
nected with corn raising and ad-
vised farmers to live in the field from
