The treasury is again practically

WATSON'S OFFENSE.

If the crank Blanton, from Texas,
deserved the censure of the house of
representatives because he published
an obscene and vulgar affidavit in the
Congressional Record, Tom Watson
for his offense in the senate deserves
to be expelled and rendered incapable
hereafter of ever being permitted to
hold an Office i any legislative as
sembly of America. WatsOn's charges
that soldiers of the American army
were executed at the whims of offic-
ers and without trial or court martial
is of course either the Pigment of a
diseased imagination or it is the will
full and malicious effort of a traitor
to his country to. bring .odium upon the
greatest army that ever fought on for

made when his country was at war

JUDGE coRpELL HULL. /

Tennessee was paid distinct coml
pliment and a most excellent selection
was made when the democratic ma
tional committee elevated Cordell
Hull of this state, as its chairman.
Judge Hull has had distinguished
public career and he is only fifty years
of age He is serving his second
term as a member of the national com
mittee.
1t is probably the first time, GER
tainly the first time since the war be-
tween the states, that Tennessean
has been made chairman of the ma
tional committee. In fact since the
war 1t has been the custom of the
committees of both political parties
to ignore the South in the organiza-
ton. Hull's selection has unusual sig
nificance as indicating that residence
South of the Mason and Dixon line
is no longer to be a barsinister to ma
tional political preferment.
Judge Hull is admirably fitted for
the place. He has had thirty years
experience in politics, is mentally
well balanced; knows intimately the
public men of the day and is indefa-
tigable in any effort to which he may
lend himself. He was defeated for
congress in the republican tidal wave
last fall, but it is sincerely to be hop
ed that his constituents will have the
wisdom to return him next year. Men
like Hull are needed in congress.

FARM BUREAU
SHOWS FINE PROGRESS

as potato seed growing county,
seed being shipped this past season to
Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Wash
ington.
Seven potato tours were held last
year, SIS farms were visited on the
tours, which were attended by 242
farmers. Specialists from the Uni
versity of Minnesota assisted the coun-
ty agent in helping the farmers recog-
nize the common diseases in the field
and learn the remedies to be en-
ployed. At least ten more such tours
are being arranged for this summer.
The marketing of potatoes received
attention, there now being eight CO.
operative produce associations in the
county, six organized last year and
seven affiliated with the Minnesota
Potato exchange.
It is a striking fact that wherever
such associations operated actively,
a larger percentage Of the potato
crop was marketed to advantage than
where no such associations existed.
Livestock improvement did not re-
ceive great deal of attention, but
five pure-bred sires were introduced.
Better feeding methods and produc-
ton of more feed was urged as
necessary foundation for the keeping
Of more and better bred livestock.
Land clearing was always consid-
cred a fundamental problem in this
cut-over section. Cooperative land
clearing was urged. The farm bu-
reau co-operated with the Civic and
Commerce association in organizing
the Beltrami County Land Clearing
association, which will result in clea--
ing $4,000 acres CT land and saving
thousands Of dollars in the cost of dy-
Mantle.
The farm bureau was entrusted
with the responsibility of collecting
and exhibiting county exhibit at the
state fair, as means of advertising
the agricultural possibilities of the,
county. A creditable exhibit was
made, which won the first prize in the
northern section of the state.
A series Of five meetings in each
of six communities was arranged for
farm women. Miss Lucy Cordiner
gave a course in nutrition to these
groups. Excellent interest was shown
at every place and demand made for
more Of such work. This served as
an introduction for home demonstra-
ton work which may be introduced
later. IT,. 40
The work performed from the farm
bureau office is Of no minor import
ance, as shown in the following sum-
mary Of the office work done during
the last IL months: =,
Different farmers visited on their
farms, 1877; total number of farms
visits made, 292; office calls, 1,150;

. r. A comprehensive program has been
arranged for farm bureau work for
the coming year, and some definite
goals to be ATTAINED have been set.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1921-04-28

Emphasis will be- placed on livestock
development with the intention OF
bringing the livestock of the county
on par with the potato industry. A
goal of at least Is more pure-bred
sires in the county has been set.
Through activities with boys and
girls clubs, and through the co-opera-
ton of the Bemidji high school, agri-
culturalist and banks, at least 20
pure-bred hiefer. calves will also be
brought in: Better feeding methods
and the production of more and bet
ter feed will be stressed.
Further potato improvement will
not be lost sight Of. Sixteen seed po-
tato treating demonstrations are be-
ing held this week in as many commu-
mites, and at least ten potato tours
are planned for the first week of July;
more general seed certifcation work
and still more thorough standardiza-
tons. -..
Marketing of all farm produce will
receive a great deal of attention. A
cooperative produce association will
be encouraged for each shipping point
in the county with a warehouse at as
many as necessary. Plans are al
ready laid for the construction of a
100000 bushel potato warehouse at
Bemidji, to market the produce of
not only the farmers tributary to Be-
midi but it is planned I'd cooperate
with produce associations on the rail-
roads radiating from Bemidji.
An active organization of farmers
in every community is planned, Civ
ing, every farmer of the county an
opportunity of being member of
these organizations in the farm bu-
reau for more profit in farming.
The farm bureau is organized to
make farming more profitable and
can succeed in this purpose only to
the extent. that it has the intelligent
and enthusiastic support of the in
dividual farmers. Its manager or
the county agent, as he is commonly
known, is helpless and useless without
such support and cooperation. Ev-
cry farmer is urged to become ia
miliar with the farm bureau and sup
port it in order that it may be in a
position to help. him.
