appears on the platform In Scotch
costume, which gives setting to his
bagpipe and vocal solos as well as his
representations.
The other members Of the company
nre not Scotch but are artists just
the same. Mr.. Adams is very fine
hnrpist as well as being expert with
the brass Instruments. He will do solo
work on both the cornet and French
horns He IL just as popular In his
line as Mr.. Strang Is In his Scotch.

WHAT'S an ACRE CLEARWATER CO. CLOVER LAND WORTH

Some weeks ago the Republican
published a lot of facrs about Clear.
water county crop yields. and in
quired what an acre OF our bean land
Is worth. Now we are going to give
some facts about leakean clover
yield. and inquire:
WHAT is AN ACkE OF CLEAR
WATER COUNTY CLOVER LAND
WORTH?
Farm land is worth only as much
per acre as will pay interest. say fve
per cent. Suit yourself as to inter
est The Republican will give the
facts and let the reader say how
much this kind Of land is really
worth.
Here are the facts. Do your own
figuring:
Jack Crabb, pioneer farmer of
Teakean section, has threshed two
acres of Alsac clover. and by actual
weight has the splendid yield of 700
pounds Of strictly pure seed. 1t is as
good as any section on earth could
grow. and is worth probably 35c a
pound. To make 1t safe figure it at
only 80 cents a pound. This makes
the very handsome return of $105
per acre for the seed That will be
admitted to be a very substantial
return per acre for land valued at
less than 800 per acre. But that ia
/ but a part Of the value Of the crop
produced this season, the worst in the
history of the country
In addition to the clover seed Mr..
Crabb has four tons of clover straw,
for which he can get $50 per ton in
the stack on the farm. This is $40
per acre more. or $14o per acre from
! Clearwater county land.
Now tell us the value Of an acre Of

Potatoes in Bemidji "hit the tobog-
gan" today and hit it hard, a wire
from St. Paul to w. G. Schroeder this
forenoon stating that potatoes had
dropped 60 cents per bushel.
'Just what caused the drop I am
unable at this time to say" replied
Mr.. Schroeder in response to a query
by a Pioneer representative this
morning. "You know the market has
been decidedly uncertain the past
several days." he added.
The marked drop in the price of
potatoes means that potatoes today
sold for. $40 per bushel in Bemidji.
For the past few days the prices
have been 81 and $2.25 per bushel
in this city and fears we're felt for
even higher prices.
