THICK SPACING COTTON INCREASES YIELD.
.........s-.:.....:-.......s-.......:-.......:...
By Jim G. Ferguson, Commissioner of Agriculture.

Cotton spaced closely in the drill makes more lint per acre than when spaced the usual distance. This is the assertion of the United States de- partment of agriculture based on ex- periments extending over period of several years. It is a well known fact that cotton stalks have two kind of branches, fruiting branches and vegetative branches. It is claimed that thick spacing encourages the growth of fruiting branches and re- tards the vegetative branches. Since fruiting branches mature early while vegetative branches mature late in the season, thick spacing hastens the maturity of the bolls and thereby re- duces boil weevil damage
 The United States department of agriculture reports the following yields for various spacings in the Mis- sippi delta:
 Plants inches apart IF pounds per plot.
 Plants 12 inches apart 93 pounds per plot.
 Plants Is inches apart 90 pounds per plot,
 Plants 20 inches apart 59 pounds per plot.
 1 Plants 24 inches apart 57 pounds per plot,
 Plants 28 inches apart 56 pounds per plot.
 Commenting on the advantage of close spacing the department in a circular letter states that, when plants are thick in the row all the branches are fruiting branches and the plant, consequently, produces bolls from bottom to top. More than that it produces them early and natures them to such an extent that they arc practically boll-weevil proof. In other , words the widest spacing is the worst system, and any narrowing of the
 spaces down to three inches is ar improvement

Rivaling in popularity the May
Day dance given by the post, the
dancing party staged at the new
armory under the auspices of the
Ralph Oracle post Of the American
Legion last evening was very we'll
attended and apparently very well
enjoyed. This was the first dance
staged by the local Legion post since

ed to be very popular. @f..',.., ,
Next Monday evening, a similar

4 CONCERT BY BOYS BAND

Between 1000 and $500 persons
according 40 variec estimates, en-
joyed the public concert given by
the Bemidji Boys band in Library
park from 8 to 9 o'clock Thursday
evening, the largest crowd ever at
tending local band concert. All
apparently appreciated the work
now being done by the boys in pre-
paration for their engagement at the
Minensota State fair in September.
No concert will be given next
week since Bandmaster Riggs will
be out of the city the fore part of
the week, the latter part to be de-
voted entirely to practice. Mr.. Riggs
accompanied by his son Ronald will
drive to Minneapolis Sunday where
MIR. Riggs will confer with Secre-
tary Garfield of the state fair board
relative to the work of the band at
the fair, and make final arrange
ments for the engagement there.
Mr.. Riggs expects to return to Be-
midji Wednesday and regular re-
hearsals will be held Thursday even

DAILY VACATION Bible
SCHOOL OPENS JULY ID

A Daily Vacation Bible School is
being planned by the Sunday School
of the Baptist church. The school
will be opened July "a and contin-
ued until August IL. Sessions will be
held five days each week, Monday
to Friday from 9:30 to 1880 in the
forenoon. The school is for children
from six to fourteen years Of age.
Probably no movement in mod
crn church life is destined to have
as far reaching influence for the
furturc as the Church Vacation
School. 1t aims to give systematic
instruction in the Bible and other
essential requirements of the Christ
ian life as is given in other subjects
in the Public schools. This school
will be under competent leadership.
The services of one or two workers
who have had successful experience
in children's work will be secured.
1t is especially desired that children
not in attendance at any Sunday
school be given the privileges of this
school.

EVERYTHING ALL SET

Everything is call set' for the
big annual Moose picnic to be held
next Sunday at the outlet of Carr
Lake, for the picnic committee un-
ter, the general craftsmanship Of
Frank Annis has worked faithfully
and efficiently. The latest details of
the program of sports will be given
out tomorrow, with definite direc-
lions on how to reach the picnic
grounds.
It has been suggested that q
partially wrong impression may
have been given out by the statement
that. among those invited were the
friends of the members of the three
Moose lodges. It is obvious that the
general public cannot be invited to
this Moose family affair where the
general funds of the L. o. o. M.
are furnishing the feed, but the mem.
bers of the three lodges are sup
posed to bring their entire families
including the lady friends of the
unmarried members and including
friends who may be visiting at the
homes of members. The committee
will do all possible for the comfort
and pleasure of the picnickers and
even the weather man has apparent
ly co-operated by having had the
rain last Sunday instead Of next
Sunday. 9''1%'.

AXE MURDERER ATTACKS
AGED COUPLE IN HOME
Aged Man Found Dead al
Grand Meadow, and Wife Is
in Serious Condition
(By United PreSS)

Grand Meadow, Mimi, July IA
Mower county authorities searched
for an axe murderer today, who
brutally attacked an aged couple in
their home here.
John Wagner, u, was found dead
and his. wife dying in their home,
when a daughter, Mrs, Albin Serum,
became alarmed and went there af-
ter failing to get an answer to tel
ephone calls.
The murderer pried the screen
door open and assaulted both with
an axe. Wagner was found dead ly-
ing across the bed, late yesterday.
Mrs. Wagner, 50, was found un-
conscious in heap on the floor in
the bedroom, with blood stains as
we'll as the bloody axe. The fact that
$50 in cash, lying in plain view, was
untouched, discounted the fact that
robbery was the motive. Blood
hounds followed the trail three
quarters of mile across the rail-
road track and, about four blocks
beyond to a vacant lot, where. auto
mobile tracks were noted. The trail
was lost and authorities believe the

BETTER SCHOOLS ASKED
FOR RURAL DISTRICTS
Oregon Proposes Amendment
to State Laws to Practically
End Private School

Washington, July ID Capital
News Service) The National Edu-
cation Convention just closed in
Boston emphasized many matters of
Importance to- the country regarding
the teaching of it's youth. Among
these none can be considered of
greater Importance than the in
creasing demand in rural commune
ties for a higher standard of educa-
ton than has obtained in the past.
The "little red school house" of song
and story has served it's purpose and
gone out of date. With good roads
and adequate transportation facil-
tiles, good schools, with first class
equipmeMa and properly trained
teachers can be made available for
any community no matter how small.
To awaken local authorities to the
essential need of lettering the ed
vocational facilities of the smaller
towns and rural centers in one of
the great needs of education in this
country, according to the N. E. A.
conventions
In this connection law proposed
by initiative in Oregon is extremely
interesting. This amendment to ex-
listing state educational laws provides
that every child between the ages
of 8 and 16 years must attend a
public school. Exceptions are made
for children physically unable to at
tend, those that have completed the
eighth grade, those living l 1-2 to 3
miles from school, according to ages
and those receiving private instruc-
ton, provided that such children
must report every three months for
examination by school official. The
act if passed will take effect Sept
cmber l, 1926.

Chicago, July Ia (By c. R. Lynch)
The railroad strike spread today
as hopes Of bringing about set
Element faded. The walk-out of
$4,000 stationery firemen, engine
ers and oilers, most of whom have
already quit in sympathy with the
shopmen, was authorized for s
o'clock Monday morning.
Edward A. Grapple, president of
the Maintenance of Way union left
Chicago for his Detroit headquarters
after announcing that the strike call
i'm his organization was inevitable
unless they stop ordering the men,
bers to do the work of strikers.
Grapple said Maintenance Of Way
employees have been discharged when
they refused to take up the shop
mems work. Unless these men are
reinstated and the practice discon.
tinued, strikes will follow, he said.
"Certainly many of my men are
against the strike, and l am yet
hopeful that railroads. will abide by
the instructions Of the United States
Railroad Labor Board" Grapple
said.
