SEED POTATOES

When YOU harvest your potatoes,
this fall is the very best time to Sc
lect your seed potatoes for next
spring, provided of course, you al
ready have a good strain of potatoes
and would like to increase their yield
secure greater conformity in size,
disease free potatoes, and so forth.
The very best method is undoubt-
edly the Hill Selection Method, that
is, select your seed potatoes from
hills having fairly good number of
even sized, free from disease pota-
toes. Your best plan would be to
set aside two or three or mere rows,
depending upon how many bushels of
seed potatoes you wish to gather. Do
now plow or use any mechanical po-
tatc digger, but dig them out by hand
selecting for seed only those that
yield well per hill. and that are uni
form in size and free from scab, rot,
blight, etc.
If you will do this work carefully,
you will be well repaid. Why grow
100 and $50 bushels from low yield
ing seed stock, if it is possible to
grow 300 or 400 bushels per acre from
carefully selected high yielding seed
potatoes.
Your county agent will help you il
you wish his assistance.

The NEW INDUSTRY
I'm BARACA COUNTY

Baraga county promises to have an
industry that will rival in production
and size any of it's kind in the State
Of Michigan or Wisconsin.
Through the efforts of Claude F.
Hancock, president of the National
Humus and Chemical Company, two
thousand acres Of land formerly
owned by the National Y-Eus and
Chemical Compe-- IL being devel-
oped for e~-.c;ltural and stock rails
inc --r.2oses on the scale that does
C, dit ito Mr.. Hanccck's ability as
shown in the past.
The Robindals Farm has been cp-
Grating for one year, controlling q
section of land and making extraor-
dinary headway. They started to
clear land last fall and now have over
one hundred and twenty acres cleared
rand under cultivation. They are con-
tinuing to clear land every day.
The owners of the Robindals Farm
intend to make hog raising a special
ty during the early developing of the
land. This decision was reached after
careful experiments on hogs during
the past year. The Robindafe Farm
plans to keep one hundred brood sows
the year around which means that
they will market from seven hundred
tc one thousand hogs per year.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Han
cock, Mr.. Roy Herald, a lawyer of De-
troit, has purchased twelve hundred
acres of land of the National Humus
and Chemical Company, and will be-
gin operations this fall for clearing
limited amount Of land.
Mr.. Herald comes financially pre-
pared to back up this development
scheme whereby eventually the
twelve hundred acre tract will be
cleared and equipped with fences and
t1ildings. In fact, three miles of
fence has already been ordered fer
use next spring and, of course, more
will be necessary as development pro-
crosses.
Mr.. Herald hardly needs no intro
ducticn to this part Of the country,
as his business as corporation lawyer
has often in the past years brought
him into the northern peninsula. As
hobby, for years Mr.. Herald has
been operating farms. In connection
Herewith he has been raising hogs
on large scale. The Herald Farm
in Baraga county, when under full ca
pacity, will run from one to three
thousand head of hogs during the
summer. During the winter only a
limited number will be kept through
until spring.
Mr.. Herald will cooperate with the
Robindale Farm and with Mr.. Han
cock in developing in that locality not
only a high class agricultural propo-
sition but that of the best registered
breed of hogs obtainable. In fact
the advance guard has already ar
rived at the Robindale Farm in the
form of full blood registered Duroc
Jersey, who is worth his weight in

Thursday, Friday and Saturday, was
the largest and best ever held in the
county. President GLADDEN. Of the
Fair Association estimates the at
tendance at five thousand, the three
days being perfect, excepting Fri
day evening, when it rained slightly.
Thursday was entry day, and ex-
hibitors were busy all day arranging
their booths and displays. Live stock,
chickens and geest were being en-
tered and concessionaires were erect
ing stands and moving supplies. Sec
retary Mapletoft was as busy as pos
sible to be.
The exhibits at this years Fair ex-
celled both in quality and number
those of any previous fair ever held
in the county The grain exhibits
were large and better than ever before,
as was also the display of vegetables
and fruits. Too much cannot be said
of the exhibits made by the boys and
girls club exhibit. 1t attracted a
great deal of attention and showed
the youngsters have taken a great
interest in agriculture.
Miss Jennie Knevels, county nurse
Of the tuberculosis society, was in at
tendance each day in her booth and
gave many valuable instructions to
mothers.
The vaudeville stunts pulled off
were excellent and amusing, being
much enjoyed and appreciated, the
boys being entitled to much credit for
the clever manner in which they pre-
sented it, being all original and COM
posed by them. The movies each ev-
ening were enjoyed by all.
C. E. Farmelee of Iron Mountain,
representing the Winchester Arms

ing with children. In the parade the
winners were Health Crusaders first,
horsemen second, pony cart third
Comic. Skanee first, mules second.
The directors and secretary Of the
Fair association are deserving of
much praise and credit fer their un-
ceasing efforts. They should feel
highly gratified at the success of their
efforts. The best ever is the verdict
of everyone who attended the Fair,
much surprise being manifested by
outside visitors at the splendid ex-
hibit made by Baraga county. ~
