'Begin Night Schools"
I'VE are trying to begin more
night schools so as to better educate
the foreigners" said Mr.. Doe to a
Pioneer representative. I'VE hope to
start several schools this spring in
every county in Northern Mime
sofa. When the legislature meets
again we will attempt to secure an
appropriation so that teachers can
be secured for the night schools. e.,
"The national government, bureau
of naturalization, is very anxious to
promote and facilitate the-Americani=

them to learn to read and: write the
English language and to better un-
derstand our form of government.
The standard of a country depends
upon the intelligence of her citizens.
Need in Rural Districts.
"In a number of cities and villages
we now have night schools estab-
lished for this purpose but in the
rural districts where the need is the
greatest, little has been done.
Last year Prof. e. A. Freeman of
Grand Rapids, Minn., introduced an
entering wedge and met with much
success. Night schools were opened
at 20 different schools to run for
three months, giving three nights a
week. Teachers were given five dol
lars more each month for the work.
A large number of foreign-born cit
liens attended the schools with much
success. I believe that every county
should establish the night school sys-

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-02-09
(By Bueford M. Gile.)

During the past few years we have
been hearing more and more. about
soy beans. Seventeen years ago the
Wisconsin Experiment station intro
duced soy beans into northern Wis
consin and they have grown them
there ever since.
Exceedingly favorable results have
been obtained and the crop has
been a great blessing on the farm
where at times clover and alfalfa
failed to grow.
Soy beans may be grown for seed,
for hay, for hog pasture, for silage,
when mixed with corn, and as a
green manure. Last year, some Wis
consin Early Black Soy beans were
planted on the school farm at Be-
midji and produced mature seed even
in such an unfavorable season. Every
farmer who saw them remarked about
their rich appearance and the lib
.eral amount of hay that could have
been secured If cut at the proper
time.
Make Excellent Growth.
The Northern Pacific railroad fur
nished some soy beans to j. G. Nc
Ghee, who is now assistant county
superintendent of schools for Bel
trami county. They made an excel
lent growth but were stricken down
by the early frost which visited the
Northwest last year, although the
soy bean will stand more frost than
corn or field beans.
All classes of ordinary soil are
adapted to the growth of soy beans.
The chief value of the soy bean is rs
a legume for the lighter soils. Ex-
periments show that soy beans grow
and develop we'll on soils that are
slightly acid. Soy beans may be
sown as late as June 10 and pro-
duce hay before Sept. I, which is
far superior in feeding value to
clover. Such a crop is worth a great
deal to our dairymen in case there
happens to be a clover failure or az
in some cases we know of, clover
has not been sown at all. The SOY
bean is good crop for new sandy
soil. The Wisconsin station reports
yields as high as 1000 pounds pei
acre on such lands. The Ito Sar
soy bean is better than the early
