for pulling and piling stumps, power
pulleys and take-ups. The demon
stration will be made on stump land
which has been chosen in advance
and is easily accessible. A crew Of
experts will demonstrate the use Of

POTATO SEED PLOT -. -.
NSURES MAXIMUM,
PRODUCTION OF CROP
A. w. Aamodt Submits Plan ON
Ten-Acre Spud Tracts ,t,.

The potato seed plot" is the
foundation and breeding plot that
the grower wants in order to keep the
strains up to their maximum produc-
ton and eliminate the diseases as far
as possible. The seed plot is to re-
ceive special care and should be large
enough to supply the general field Of
the next year, for example, if grow
er has ten acres of field potatoes each
year, he should have a one-acre seed
plot.
From this one-acre seed plot the
grower should select fifteen bushels of
the best potatoes for the next years
seed plot. The balance of the po-
tatoes from the seed plot should be
used in planting the general field.
The potatoes from the general field
should not be used for seed, but sold
either as table stock or certified seed.
The following steps are recon-
mended for use, and should be fol-
lowed as closely as possible during
the various seasons.
Spring Management.
l. Select (for a one-acre plot, fif-
teen bushels) potatoes Of good uni
form size, true to type, and as free
from diseases as possible.
2. Cut off from one-fourth to
three-fourths inches of the stem end
of every potato and throw away.
Also discard all potatoes showing
brown streaks or brown ring dis
coloration, saving only the potatoes
of clear colored flesh. The cutting
off of the stem end removes the
fusarium wilt and other diseases
which may be present.
3. Treat the potatoes in corrosive
sublimate as soon as possible after
the stem ends have been cut off.
Summer Management.
1. Rogue out all diseased plants
or place stakes 80 as to mark the
best plants for hill selection.
2. Rogue out all mixtures.
Fall Management.
1. If possible, dig with fork and
select the very best hills which are
true to type and free from diseases.
2. If mass selection must be prac-
tised, be careful to select the best
type possible for the various varieties
grown.
3. About fifteen bushels should be
saved for the one-acre plot Of the
next year. -, ~
Winter Management.
1. Store under the best conditions
possible. Remember this is your best
seed stock for the next year and the
years to come, so give it all the at
tention possible.

BOARD EXTENDS CLEANUP
WEEK TO MAY TENTH

s Rumors which have been current
for some time in Bemidji, were made
: known at the directors meeting Of
the Civic and Commerce association
! Tuesday, when the secretary report
ed that an announcement had been
made, that a central office for the
Chippewa Indians was about to be
established. He stated that he had
written to Minnesota senators and
congressman requesting the office to
be established at Bemidji.
] Several matters Of Importance
were acted on, one Of them being
"a program presented by n. E. Rey-
nolds, chairman Of the publicity COM
1nittee for a publicity contest which
would give to Bemidji an unusual
amount of publicity at a comparative
ssmallsexpense.. It was plan which
would require considerable time to
put into execution and it was thought
best to defer the proposition until
next season, when it will undoubt-
sedly be put into effect. :. BE-
A proposition was placed before
the board in a communication re-
sceived from a Minneapolis concern,
asking for the raising of about 5000
to be. used as part Of the necessary
capital to put into service q chain, Of
camping ssites forssUse ef tourists. "
was the opinion ofathe directors. that
this amount of money should not be
raised and turned over to: a private
enterprise at this time.
~ A report was received from the
committee appointed to ascertain
what band music would be available
for the various conventions and the
report given was to the effect that
the juvenile band would be in posi-
ton to. furnish music for these oc-
scasions. e., - t -:
It was the opinion Of the board that
cleanup. week should be extended
until May 10th on account of the
cold weather preventing frost from
thawing out the ash piles and other
refuse *accumulations and therefore
making the work impossible. :.

The lower half of the above like
ness was taken by many of the old
timers around Bemidji to represent
such celebrities as DR.. E. A. Shan
non, A.. E.. Rako, Mayor johnson,
and most everybody that wears or
ever did wear a mustache, but A. P.
Richie and Andy McNabb have re-
ceived a free ticket to the American
Legion boxing exhibition to be held
on May 8 at the Grand theatre under
the auspices Of the Ralph Oracle post
for correctly guessing the owner Of
the half map" and accosting the
present wearer of somewhat
changed "map" with the information
that he was the person represented
in the picture which was shown is
The Pioneer last week.
But who except an old-timer around
Bemidji would recognize the map"
as at one time belonging to George
Walkeri ST., our worthy freight agent
for the Unlike & Ike" railway.
The only apparent question which
arises from the misjudgment Of like
nesses is "who has been flattered by
being taken for someone else" Ger
tainly there, is little comparison be-
tween the pictures of Sir Honorable
Mayor johnson and George Walker
when a full view is given, but still
"Old George" might look like doc
tor if he had the customary pill
satchel} with him.
Those who were unable to solve
the mystery surrounding the half
picture are urged to purchase their
tickets. f5e the bout at Barker's Drug
