Below is the report taken from the
leading navy journal which calls the
ship that the Bemidji boys are on
the "Klassy Kansas:
The Classy Kansas is back on the
map, this time classier than ever be-
fore. The Kansas claims their pugs
can whip anything in the fleet from
|whisperweights up and down and
three ways across the board. skitty-
wumpus and catty-corner! In the
first place Fred Jordan Of the Kan
sas wants the OUR NAVY heavy
weight belt. Writes Fred: "Jist
give me that thar belt and I'll do
the rest about clinching it for the
"klassy Kansas" Then the Kansas
has Sailor Grant, the light heavy
champ and the Kansas is sure that
there is no man in the fleet who can
stay with Grants right hand unlim-
bered. This lad Grant trimmed
Andre Anderson and Bob Moha and
put up whale of a scrap with Billy
Miske. Then the Kansas boasts of
White Larson, middleweight, who
admits that he can just remove the
Navy middleweight crown from Car
Zsarmanski as easily as the Russians
removed the same article from Car
Nick. In the we1ter class the Kan
sas boasts of Sailor Hickman, a good
boy, and Sailor Young, former spar
ring partner Of Mike Gibbons. Final
ly the Kansas has Sailor Morphew
who says he can just about whip any
featherweight who ever bent on al
neckerchfef. All in all the Kansas
1s some scrappy ship, what with al
fve-ounce mitt sticking out of each
portfolio.

THEATERS
AT THE ELKO

AT THE ELKO
1.-The Law That Failed" is the feat
ure at the Elko tonight. This is an
intensely interesting drama written
by Louis Reeves Harrison, the we'll
known motion picture journalist.
That man who is proven guilty Of
murder can be acquitted on a legal
technicality is the surprising and
dramatic theme around which this
unusual drama is built. Alma Han
son, Americas magnetic screen star,
portrays the role of the heroine while
Edward Ellis, distinguished legiti-
mate actor, makes the leading male
character realistically hum a n
throughout.
Tomorrow, matinee and evening,
a Triangle-Fine Arts program-six
reels of drama and comedy will be
shown, presenting Winifred Allen
and Jack Devereaux in 1.-The Man
Who Made Good"-and others in "A
Laundry Clean Up"
AT THE GRAND
A Vitagraph program of five reels
will be shown at the Grand theater
tonight. The dramatic part is call
ed "Who Killed 10 Merrion" and the
comedy "When Hooligan and Dooli-
gan Ran for Mayor"
Sunday, evening only, Selig's great
photoplay "The Danger Trail," feat
uring H. B. Warner and Violet Hem
ing, will be the attraction at the
Grand.

THE BARLEY ACREAGE.
National Crop Improvement ServIce.1


In 1915 we raised nearly 229,000,000
bushels on 100000 acres. We did not
fare so we'll in 1916 on account of the
bad season. On seven and one half
million acres we raised 181 100000
bushels. The price Of barley will war
rant large increase in the acreage
this year. Forty-eight million bushels
of barley were. matted and about 25,-
100000 of that 48,O00,0O0 was sent
back in the shape of feed to the farm.
AS an economic problem, it would
seem that the high price Of barley for
mailing would greatly offset any feed
ing-vaIue, if any, lost thereby.
The season for planting barley is
one week late, and therefore, barley
can be put in to advantage up to the
10th of May, and perhaps the 18th. 1t
is generally the best farm practice to
put barley in just ahead Of corn plant
ing. There is less labor in producing
a field of barley than field of corn
and a great deal less risk. If you are
short of labor on your farm it will pay
you to put in some barley.
If you put in all Of your crops and
still have some land idle, both oats
and barley can be sown for hay or
green feed which will be immensely
valuable this year.

NEXT YEARS CROP
Let Us Begin Now to Organize for
More Prosperity
National Crop Improvement servIce.I

National Crop Improvement ServIce.1
It is one of our American traits to
speed up to high tension for a few
days and then to relapse into our old
"easy-going" habits. If we can only
learn by experience that we must or
ganize against emergencies of all
kinds for peace and war, this excite
ment will not have been in vain. 1t
will do little good to shout at the far
mer through a megaphone. He knows
his business and is doing just as good
as he can under the circumstances. If
there is any Improvement to be made,
it is to improve circumstances. Our
prosperity depends upon the prosper
ity of the farmers and it is our duty to
get him the best price possible consis-
tent with quality. If we want the far
mer to do better, we must do better
by him. However, he can find no COM
plant about the present prices nor for
several years to come. We may be
too late to do very much more this
spring, although we still have barley,
corn and potatoes to put into the
ground. We should organize for serv-
ice in this county and get ready for
early fall blowing after harvest.

TREAT SEED POTATOES
The Prevalence of Scab on the High
Priced Seed Potatoes This Year
Makes 1t Imperative That They Be
Treated With Chemicals Before
Planting.
National Crop Improvement servIce.1

National Crop Improvement SerVIcel
While the operation Of treating is
comparatively simply, close attention
must be given to the direction and de-
tails followed absolutely. Your care
lessness may mean ruin of the po-
tatoes or danger to children or stock.
Simp1y-Be Careful.
According to your conditions and
equipment, the seed potatoes may be
treated in crates, loose in barrels or
in sacks. Treatment must be done be-
fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted.
The commonest method is to mix
one pint Of formaldehyde (be sure it
is full strength) with thirty gallons
of water. Soak the seed stock in this
solution for two hours, just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu-
ton may be reused two or three
times, if no time is lost between
patches. One of the easiest ways is to
place the solution in a barrel and
place a sackful of potatoes in it at
time
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent

tonia as we'll as scab, but it is dead
ly poison and must be kept where chill
dren or stock will not get it. All YES
sells used with this material should be
carefully cleaned Afterwards. If you
prefer this, use four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons OF
water, and soak the potatoes for an
hour and half. The powdered chemi-
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution Do not use metal vessels. At
ter treating, the potatoes should be
promptly washed in clean water until
all traces Of the solution are gone, and
they they should be carefully dried,
the sooner the better
1t only takes a little time and very
little money to treat all your seed po-
tatoes by either method, and it pays
big in larger yields Of better potatoes,
free from disease.

STILL TIME TO sow BARLEY.
[NationaI CROP Improyement servIoe

The seeding time of barley should
be done later than that of oats or
spring wheat, as an early spring frost
is more detrimental to young barley
than to other small cereals. The sea-
son is usually week later In Canada
barley is sown up into June, but that
is not advocated in this country Still,
the second or third week in May will
probably be safe this year.
A drill or broadcast seeder is COM
monty used and the barley is sown
at the rate of ~ to bushels to the
acre. Where it is desirable to seed the
land down to clover and timothy, / to
~ bushels of seed barley as a nurse
crop is sufficient.

MONEY FOR FARMERS.


Many OF our farmers will not have
money enough to put in a maximum
crop. This should not be the case. Of
course, during this war excitement it
is pretty hard to get onyone to do any
thing but run around in circles, but
the greatest business problem we
have is to finance our farmers so that
they can get the maximum results for.
themselves and for our community.
We believe that if the banks will ask
young farmers and tenants who have
not established their credit, to make
a statement regarding what they want
to do with the money, that they will
take very little risk in advancing
whatever money any farmer will in
diligently use this year.
1t is true that the federal reserve
banks will re-discount farmers paper,
but they do it entirely on the credit
of the bank asking for the re-discount.
We believe that our business men
would be very glad to pro-rate any
loss that any bank would make in ex-
tending loans to any farmer who
wants to increase the production of
his farm even though his land may be
mortgaged all that it can stand.
Especially in those counties where
county agents can advise and O.. K.
the project, our bankers should have
no hesitancy in furnishing whatever
money may be required. There is very
little risk because the world is short
Of food and everything will be high
for this year and probably several
years to come.

vitality and does not test 80 per cent
it should be regarded as inferior and
