gree OF InfeStatiOn Found.
Interesting tests as to boil weevil
mfestation, giving some indication OF
the probable outcome of the cotton
crop in this vicinity were made by
several citizens Monday morning.
The first test was made on the farm
OF MIR. r. V. Irby, about two miles
from town. MIR. Irby has a rank
growth Of weed and from past expert
enccs he should have made as much
not use poison, but picked up the
squares. He cut down eight stalks at
random and brought them to town
for inspection. From these he picked
100 bolcs, out of which only 81 were
sound. Thirty-one Of the remainder
were fairly well advanced in growth
but punctured and may yield several
locks of cotton per boil, while 61 were
immature bolls and will hardly yield
anything.
The second test was made in the
field Of Mr.. Sollie Bobo near Watts
Mills, where the Southern Cotton Oil
Company had supervised dusting with
calcium arscnate The same number
OF stalks were cut here and out of
ITS bolls ll2 were found to be ma
ture and unpuncturcd and 60 punctur-
| ed. A few white blooms were still
seen in this field.
The third test was made on the
field directly across the road from
test No. 2 which, like Mr.. Irby's had
not been poisoned. This was planted
by MIR. Robert Tcmpleton. He said
that he started to pick UP squares
early and has continued at it. Out Of
.2S bols picked off Of two stalks, 20
were found to be mature and unpunc-
tured.

picted. Perhaps for the last time,
citizens of the northwest will attempt
to picture in pageantry the memoir
able events in the conquest of what
was once known as the Great Amer

DEVELOPMENT of transportation,
from the time of the bull skin

KELLIHERRAH
SERVICE aired
State Railroad and Warehouse
Commission Hears Present
Kelliher Situation

Fully so directly interested parties
from Kelliher and about 20 from Be-
midi attended the hearing before
the state railroad and warehouse
commission held in the Civic and
Commerce association rooms Thurs
day night to review the present rail-
road service situation in Kelliher, a
thriving city so miles northeast Of
Bemidji. Ivan Bowen Of Mankato
represented the commission, and at
ter hearing the arguments for and
against regular train service to that
city, announced that the matter
would be taken under advisement iby
the board, although it appears that
the commission cannot force the
railroad to put on regular service to
that point.
William Lennon of Kelliher was
among those from that city to testi-
fy, and he outlined the present sit
uation there, showing the decrease
or practical decentralization of trade
at that point, and cited how even in
years past the Kelliher station has
not been credited with all the passen-
ger traffic which has originated from
that point.
Kelliher has mot had passenge,
train service for the past two months
and the freight service during the
majority of this time has been one
freight train each Saturday. Pos
sib1e discontinuance of the service
entirely was the biggest objection
voiced by the Kelliher delegation
and it seems that every means pos.
sible will be taken to prevent such
a seemingly injustice to such a thriv'
ing city.
At the present time, Kelliher pas.
sengers must go to Blackjack OF
Northome to gain passage on the
Minnesota & International to point:
in either direction. This mean:
| would ordinarily be abandoned wher
the show comes, because ordinarily
| the roads would then be impossible
for autos.

ney for the Northern Pacific, repre-
gented the railroad, while Count!

RURAL SCHOOL NEEDS

Baldwin, Mrs. G. E. Davis
Give Inspiring Talks

Most interesting were the subjects
and most educational were the talks
at the Thursday afternoon meeting
of the Minnesota Federation Of Wo-
mems Clubs. George A. Selke, State
Inspector of Rural schools, opened
the program after two numbers of
assembly, singing led by Mrs. Paul
Yaple and invocation by Rev. Zentz
with talk on 'The Need of Rural
Schools" He was followed in turn
by Miss Julia Newton speaking on
the subject "The American Home
Maker" Miss Clara Baldwin on the
subject Library Extension" State
Forester w. T. Cox on "Forest
Protection and State Forests" and
Mrs. G. E. Davis on "Analysis of
Minnesota Laws that Aid American
ization."
Rural children are entitled to as
much education as their city broth
ers, and this body realizes it. There
are problems in the rural schools
making it more difficult, and con-
scquently rural children are tagging
in school work." thus began George
A. Selke. He then outlined the prog
ress of laws and legislation favoring
the rural school situation, quoting
now and then statistics to show the
resultant ascendency of rural school
attendance.
He directed attention to the, pres
ent needs of the rural schools, to
the advantages of consolidation, to
the Shelpfulness of more efficient
teachers and helpers in the. rural
districts, but in this phase he dwelt
upon the already growing efficiency
of the rural teachers.
Briefly he outlined the immediate
needs of the rural schools as (1)
More consolidation, preferably in
large units, wherever it is feasible,
(2) The strengthening and develop
ment of the county superintendent
and it's removal from politics, (3)
Helping teachers and help workers
in each county, az Better library
facilities for the teachers, pupils and
adults, (5) A school term of at
least 1870 days and compulsory at
tendance law, simple and easy en-
forcement that accounts for all the
children, (6)Legislative action and
financial support of schools to car
ry out the above program.
That the mission of the ideal Wo.
men is to make the whole world
homelike, but that members of the
women's clubs about the state have
and must realize their wonderful
possibilities in directing endeavor<
of home makers in the diverse lines
along which skill is necessary, was
the thought which opened the adj
dress of Miss Julia Newton in speak

"Penny-Wise, Dollar-F Foolish"
Weevil Policy Costing u. S.
Huge Amounts

Washington, Sept. Is Capital
News Service)-To the general pub
lie, the boil weevil is pestriferous
insect which does something to the
cotton crop. To the cotton grower
the boil weevil is a cataclysm, a
disaster, nightmare of terror. To
the country as a whole the boil
weevil is the cause of an economic
loss of unguessed proportions
According to statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture, in the year
1921 the crop of cotton harvested
was 7,954,O00 bales. 1t should have
been 1S,666,OOO, but 1O,712,O0O
we're ruined by natural causes, and
Of this enormous quantity so de-
,troyed the boil weevil alone count
ID for 6,277 900 bales, worth with
he seed which would have beer
yinned, $61O,341, 900, for the thlr-
.een year period 19O9-1921 Tile
damage done by the boil weev'l
reached the enormous total of
S3,1O2, 152,000.
1t is obvious that science can, if
will eradicate the boil weevil just
IS it eradlcated the mosquito and
Malaria and yellow fever from the
Canal Zone. At one time one of the
most deadly spots on the face of the
Globe, the Canal one is now one OF
he healthiest. The job was done be-
,ause there was urgent need, real
American determination, and no
ack of money.
The boil weevil can be eradicated
n at least, controlled, and viii be
when the government spends enough
money at one time to do it, and not
before. It is pointed out in Congress
hat had one half of the damage done
oy the boil weevil been spent in
lighting 1T, would now be gone for
ever. Cotton is a necessary of life
> Ind the South, the great source of
he world cotton. Not to protect the
product and its growers by ample
appropriations to stamp out the in
sect which is enemy not only OF
Americans but of all mankind, is
% refrain from spend money in
home defense as truly as if it were
! ! human enemy instead Of an insect
)ne, which menaces prosperity.

Mayor Nelson, St. Paul,
Tells of Urgent Need

DUCK HUNTING SEASON
Will OPEN TOMORROW
New Map, Free to Interested
Sportsmen, Shows Limits
of New Preserves

Bright and early Saturday morning
hunters will begin their war" on
wild ducks, and Bemidji hunters are
not excluded if preparations about
the city the last few days are just
criterion. Duck hunting season opens
Saturday morning, Sept. Is and will
continue in force until December 81.
This applies to wild duck Except
wood duck), goose, coot, Wilson
srtipe, gallinules, iyellowlegl Rails
are in season from Sept. 16 to Nov.
80.
The daily limit on these game birds
is 49, The limit allowed in posses
sion is As of which not more than
five shall be wild geese.
At the suggestion of Game Ward
en- John Cline, the Pioneer has pub
lished a map of Beltrami county
showing in red outline all the game
preserves in this county, bringing
to the attention of the sportsmen
the newly added preserve territory
which they are ordinarily not famil-
lar with the townships IF O'Bucn
and During. These maps are to be
distributed free of charge to all in
terested sportsmen through the cour-
tesy of number of Bemidji bust
ness houses which have contributed
toward defraying the cost OF the
map: -1 -.
Mr.. Cline desires that every hunter
know. the limits Of the preserves ond
in that way feels that ignorance OF
the law is inexcusable. He declares
that he will enforce the general
game laws and the preserve laws to
perfection, but first of all desires
that sportsmen acquaint themselves
with the preserves by use OF the
map. ..,
A great many sportsmen feel that
too much territory has been given
over to preservation, it is understood
Many hunters this year will be
obliged to seek new places in which
to bag their game, but from all re:
ports duck are especially plentiful
this fall.

At the same time, union head
