''MINN ESOTA'
One of the Foremost Agricultural
States in the Union. What It's
156,137 Farm Produce.
The Scandinavians an Essential Ele-
ment in the Agricultural Devel-
opment of the North
Star State.

The Northwest and it's agricultural
resources and development is des-
cribed in a series of interesting ar
ticles in the Minneapolis Tidende.
A recent one on Minnesota contained
the following:
Minnesota stands in the front
rank among the agricultural states
of the Union. The state is in the
exact center of the North American
continent. 1t is higher above sea
level than any of the states east of
the Rocky Mountains. The highest
point is on the Mesaba Iron Range,
1880 feet, and the lowest is Duluth,
SOP feet above sea level. According
to the 1910 census there are about
25 persons to the square mile, and
the whole area of the state is S3,365
square miles or 51,749,120 acres.
The same cencus showed that there
were 156,137 farms in Minnesota
with a total valuation of $1,476,411,-
1877; but the valuation has increased
considerably since that time.
Farm crops in Minnesota in 1915
had value Of $241, $4,000 The
farm crops of all the 4S states were
valued at $6,7SS, ,905, 900, hence one
twenty-eighth is Minnesota's share.
Among the yields Of the most i'm
portant crops in Minnesota in 1915
were: 62,10O,O00 bushels corn from
100000 acres; 1,17O,OOO bushels win
ter wheat from 10000 acres. But
it is spring wheat which gives Min
nesota it's rank as a Wheat State.
In 1915 ISL 100000 bushels of spring
wheat were produced, or more than
one-fifth of the entire spring wheat
crop of the United States. Mime
sofa also produced 3,15O,O0O bushels
flax in 1915, about one-fourth of the
entire yield in the United States;
134, ,375,000 bushels oats; 5,S50,OO0
bushels rye; 41,175, 900 bushels bar
ley. The hay crop totaled 100000
tons, and one-tenth of the country's
potato crop was produced in Mime
sofa, namely 30,210,0O0 bushels.
Dairying, together with hog and
sheep raising, also pays an import
ant role. On Jan. 1st, 1915, there
were 1,716,000 hogs in the state, L.

Flies Murder Babies.

There are morals as well as fables
IN slang. Here is one: "There are
no flies on him; he's live one" If
you are a live one you will have no
flies on you, in your house, barn or
creamery this summer; and to keep
them out you will destroy their
breeding places.
II all the zeppelins engaged in the
European war were to drop bombs
on the United States every night
this summer, the victims would be
few in comparison with those of the
fly. Also their toll of women and
babies would be no greater in pro
portion to their number Of men.
The fy's speciality is the murder
Of nursing babies. Bottlefed babies
are especially easy victims. More
than 1,200 children die every year in
Minnesota from diarrheal diseases
contracted from filth borne by flies.
Flies, filth and artificial feeding are
three great obstacles to put before
any baby. ~..-~ .-'
:Dysentery and typhoid are fy-sea-
son diseases. The germs are carried
by flies from the discharges of per-
sons i'll with dysentery or typhoid
or convalescing from these illnesses.
Flies enjoy wallowing in human
filth, and flying thence to the kitchen
or dining room, where they leave
minute germs from their bewiskered
bodies as they crawl over bread, cake
or sugar or around the moist rim of
glass of water. No less pleasant
to them does the nursery seem,
where they can crawl over the
baby's face, food or milk bottle.
Well water is frequently blamed
for infection which flies have
brought. There is little chance that
a we'll may become infected. The
fly is usually the carrier of germs
attributed to water and he is collect
ing his germs from filth from the
stables, ,out-houses and sick rooms.
Attendants on typhoid and dysen-
terry patients are required by the
State Board of Health to destroy
the discharges of patients in order
to prevent the spread of the dis
eases. Oftentimes this is not as
carefully done, however, and 1t IS
always safe to keep the fly away as
one of the best methods of assuring
that you and the baby will still be
live ones at the end of the summer.

the road officials. members of the
county court and others by r. A.
! Wilkes, Of Culleoka, notice of which
was given by Mr.. Wilkes TO the com.
mittee on Monday, May s.
1t is understood, from the notice of
Mr.. Wilkes. that charges to be pre-
ferred, will be salty" that they will
involve members of the county road
board, district road commissioners
and members of the county court.
1t will probably be charged that the
road commissioners have improperly
and incorrectly reported the mileage
constructed; it will be alleged that one
member of the commission has used
his own team in road construction;

ployed and paid their own kinsmen
out of the county treasury for work

Bile that in addition to hearing the

upon. Just how long the investiga-
ton will require cannot be determined
until after list Of witnesses has been
furnished the committee. 1t may be
that it will take several days to hear

PREsToN's SPEECH.
Commends Governor Rye And Presi-
dent Wilson, and Predicts Their
Election.

Special TO The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 17.-Pres
ton in his speech commended Gov
Rye and President Wilson. He said
among other things: 1.-TWO years ago
under the leadership of Gov. Rye, the
democratic party returned to power in
Tennessee. Discord and division In
the democratic ranks have disap-
peared, and peace and happiness have,
under his administration. come to the
people Of this state. He is entitled to
denomination and reelection.
Gov. Rye sounded the death knell
of Gov Hooper's political powers two
years ago, and the job will be finished
in November by the Hon. K D. Nickel
lar, and the democrats of Tennessee
will owe to these two distinguished
citizens a debt of lasting gratitude.
mo platform should be adopted by
this convention except that it has the
controlling purpose to carry out in the
utmost good faith every plank adopt
ed. The democratic party can only
continue In power in this state by
keeping faith with the people, and
when this is done by you, the repre-
sentatives from every county in the
state, the masses Of the democratic
party will fully ratify your action and
Overwhelmingly elect your nominees"
After Preston's speech the various
congressional districts reported their
selections for the convention commit
tees on credentials, permanent organi-
zation and platform.
Ex-senator Fraser made speech
advocating amendment to the custer
law providing trial by jury.
This afternoon the reports OF the
committees will be heard. The Gre
dentials committee, 1t is expected, win
report in favor of seating the Crump
delegation from Shelby. The anti
Crump delegation will, it is practically
assured, carry their fight for the rec
ignition to the floor of the convention,
where they hope that the same mo-
tives which led the state committee
to stand by the Crump delegation will
not prevail In other words, they will
rely on the delegates from outside the
cities to support them.
The Greer delegation from Bedford,
and the Faw delegation from William
son, will doubtless be seated, as rec
commended by the state committee.
Convention adjourned until $3.50.
