o. P. B. Jacobson, of Fergus Falls,
has been a member of the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
for more than six years. Previous to
his appointment to that body, he had
been member of the State Board of
Grain Appeals, in which capacity he
gained that intimate knowledge of
grading grain and of the commercial
requirements of the grain trade gen
orally, which has made him such
useful public official His services to
the agricultural and industrial inter-
ests of the state have been conspicu-
GUS and invaluable, and he is destined
to achieve still greater results.
Mr.. Jacobson was born in Norway,
and received his education in city
schools. Like a true Norseman, he
went to sea, and after serving before
the mast, he took up the study of navi-
cation. Upon completing the course
at Christiania he again followed sea-
faring life. The Great West attract
ed him, and he followed the call, To-
eating in 1884 at Fergus Falls, which
has since been his home. Here he was
engaged in various mercantile affairs,
and also in journalism, editing for
some years, the Fergus Falls Ugeblad.
Looks Out for Farmer.
AS member of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, Mr.. Jacobson
has been particularly Jealous in guard
ing the interests of the farmers. He
has been consistent opponent of the
federal system of grading grain, and it
has been largely through his efforts
that the extremely technical standards
promulgated by the federal depart
ment Of agriculture have been modi-
fed to comply more nearly to the COM
mercial demands. He is the author of
bill now before Congress, and which
will provide that rules and standards
for grading grain, shall be prepared
by board of practical grain men, each
state producing 100,O0O,00O or more,
bushels Of grain, to be represented on
such a board. He also is the author
Of another bill before Congress, de-
signed to compel railroads having tide
water terminals, to provide ample ia
cillties for storing and handling all
grain and grain products arriving at
that the passage and enforcement of
such a measure virtually will prevent
congestion of freight cars upon the
Atlantic seaboard, and which company
is supposed to be due to "car famine"
Active in Getting Coal.
Mr.. Jacobson has been notably &C.
tive of late in obtaining orders from
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
directing the movement of 1000 cars
of coal to the lower lake ports for
trans-shipment to Duluth and the re-
turn of Northwestern railroads of all
cars owned by them but used by east
ern and southern railroads. Without
the return Of such cars, it will be i'm
possible to move the immense grain
crops of the Northwest, upon which
the prosperity of this section of the
country so largely depends.

Stevens county was unusually sue
cessful in the drive which was put on
last spring, and now has 430 men,
berships on the $500 basis. But as
there are several townships only
partially canvassed and as some of
the memberships expire next Janu-
airy 1st and July LIST, it was thought
advisable to make thorough canvass
this fall.
Saturdays meeting followed din
ner at the Merchants Hotel, given to
members of the winning district and
township teams, in the membership
campaign held last spring. The ex-
ecutive committee were hosts to the
district teams, and G. W. Nash host
to the township teams.

Farmers Going to Canada.

Nearly 100000 American farmers have pur-
chased 100000 Canadian acres this year.:
They are transplanting their food producing
energies to Canada, to the Dominion's profit,
and to Uncle Sans loss.
They are going largely because of their in
ability to make profit growing food upon high
cost acres OF the United States. Land in Can
ada is cheap. The time is coming when it
won't be cheap. Acreage will cost as much
there as here. And then what Is the farmer
going to do! Where is he going? The rest Of
the world, excepting Siberia and the Sahara,
already is crowded
Maybe by that time he will have learned
the secret of the overcrowded Dane, Hollander
and Belgian. He will try to grow more food
in . smaller area. He will cultivate more in
tensively. He will try doing what James J. Hill
advised years ago. He will make two blades
grsw whore but one has grown. He will har-
vest more bushels to the acre.
The wiser Of the agriculturists already are
doing that. They find 1t more profitable and
! more comfortable than selling out and settling
| in colder cline.
