I @''The best showing of poultry J
have seen for their number this side
of Chicago" was the commendation
placed on the exhibits of poultry at
the fourth annual show being held
in the city hall by the Beltrami
County Poultry association, by Judge
Stantield. The Judging of the birds is
expected to be finished this afternoon.
Perhaps it is not generally known,
utythere is no charge of admission
to see the poultry show, nor the dis
play Of the potato and corn show, be-
ing held in connection with the poul-
try show, and no one should miss the
display. Parents should attend and
their children, also. .,
Potatoes Are Wonderful. - L
The potato displays are indeed
wonderful and every variety grown
In this vicinity is shown. A. G.. Toll
aas Of the University, Of Minnesota Is
here he being widely known farm
specialist. In speaking about pota-
toes and the raising and marketing,
to representative of The Pioneer,
Mr.. :Tolaas said the growers should
confine themselves to only two or
three varieties. to insure a good mar
ket, and not grow SO many different
kinds. BY concentrating on tive or
three varieties, the district would be-
come recognized as the center for
those brands. .-..-,, .sss.scss r II
Early Ohio Center.
s. AS illustration toah his idea he said
the Early Ohios were planted with
great success in the Red River Val
ley, and that the valley was known
all over as the banner center for
Early Ohios. He; seemed to favor the
planting of Triumps, Green A.oun-
tains and Russets for this county.
He also commended Cobblers as being
early growers and at good prices.
The King, he said, was a standard
variety. g.
"If. this county would plant, say,
Triumphs," he said in explanation,
"and had good crops, and would con-
tinife, Beltrami county would become
known as the Triumph potato grow
ing center. Then buyers would know
where to go to get what they wanted
and would lose no time. II q buyer
wanted certain standard variety, he
wouldn't buy few bushels Of one
kind and some of another. Cant fill
orders with various brands"
