Supt.. M. j. Thompson of the North
east Experiment station, Duluth, was
present and, explained the entire pro-
ject.
The material comes from the Unit
ed States governme through the
University of Minnesota. 1t is now
stored at Sparta, Wis. A charge of
seven cents a pound is made f. o. b..
Sparta to cover cartridging, packing,
loading. Freight must be added to
this. It is estimated that it will
cost about 10 cents per pound laid
down at Baudette. No farmer can
secure more than 500 pounds. 1t
comes lin 100 pound boxes. Orders
are being taken through the six
banks and at the office of Mr.. Lende,
county agent.
nj order Ito play safe in holding
this allotment it was urged that ord
ers be placed as soon as possible. In
formation sheets are being mailed to
east farm bureau member so that eV-
cry one will be generally acquainted
with the movement under way. A
great deal of interest was manifested
in this distribution which. practically
means two dollars worth Of material
at the price of one, reports Mr..
Thompson.

PANAMA GOVERNMENT
AFTER new FARMERS

Panama, July 23.-The govern
migration agents to Czech -Slovakia,
Austria, Italy, Spain and the Can
aries to induce farmers from those
countries to come to Panama.
The government has begun the
construction of 200 miles of high
ways in the most fertile pa rts of the
interior, and intends to follow with
several hundred miles more with the
idea Of opening up the country. But
after the roads are built (construc-
ton has been begun and the money
is in hand to pay the bills) they will
not be used unless new inhabitants
are brought into the country.
The native of Panama has his own
farm and is living on it very content
eddy, under primitive conditions in
most cases, but conditions which are
we'll adapted to the tropics and which
suit him. He works little but lives
we'll. His surplus produce is such as
can conveniently be carried 10 a sea-
port on mule back, and he Ell joys the
weekly trip to the village.
But such people cannot develop a
country, because they are too busy
enjoying life. The idea Of the gov
eminent is to induce immigration of
experienced farmers from the south
of Europe, who are also hard work
,ers, assign them land, secure them in
their title, and even assist them with
implements and seed for the first few
years.
AS white men, these people will
soon disappear, as white n en- are
bound to do in the tropics, but their
children will mix with the brown ma
tives, and this mixture makes
strong race we'll adapted to the heat
and bright light This mixed race,
known as morenos, is the strongest
and best factor in Panama at the
present time, and the COVE rnment
had in mind a far-seeing policy Of
perpetuating it. .. 49,

TWO HUGE STADIUMS
FOR PACIFIC COAST
(By United Press)

Pasadena, CAL, July 23.-Plans
for the second great stadium in Cali
fornia is definitely under way here,
following the purchase Of the first
piece of land to be used in connection
with the big Tournament of Roses
stadium in the Arroyo Secco.
A deed for ten acres of land was
in possession of the tournament to-
day, following the conclusion of ne
gotiations with Henry Shlaudeman of
this city. Deals are now under way
for the purchase of additional land,
while the city had condemnation pro-
ceedings started to acquire other
lands for the project.
Surveys for the great boulevards
which will lead to the stadium site
are already under way. Every effort
is being made to rush the stadium
project in order to furnish adequate
Nseating space for the annual Cast
West" football game. 1t is esti-
mated that last year it was necessary
to turn away four people for every
one that had ticket at the present
site.
Sanford university will probably
have the record for constructing the
first giant stadium in California, as
work on the Stanford project is al
ready under way, it is said, and is be-
ing rushed as fast as subscriptions
from alumni and friends of the uni
verify come in. The Stanford stadi-
UNI will be the largest in the west,
and one Of the largest in the country,
The Pasadena stadium, however,
will run it a close second, and both
will be the most modern and best
equipped to handle the crowds with
the latest scientific equipment, and
with the finest quarters for athletes
and others of any structures any
where in the world. .---.-

ia federation July 10 and 20. Uni
fed action by farm and commercial
interests, through a national confer
ence to be ,call5d by the farm bu-
reaus, was proposed.
The directors of the Minnesota fed
Grafton decided on several important
policies.
They voted to help finance the
launching of the centralized market
ing enterprises for livestock and
dairy products, by loaning up to $4,-
900 to the Minnesota Central Co.
operative Commission company and
up to $4,000 to the Minnesota Co.
