Washington. July 30.--There is
a clause in the Constitution of the
United States which may ulti-
mately upset the best laid plans
of men thoroughly versed in po-
litical management. 1t is pos
sible, but not altogether prob
able, that one of the three candi.
dates for the Vice-Presidency
may yet be President Of the Uni
ted States, despite the popular
vote for the avowed candidates
for the office. At first glance
this statement presents an amaz-
ing state of affairs, yet it is
strikingly confirmed by the great
est of all American documents,
the Constitution. Privately, po-
litical leaders make no secret Of
their deep concern. But. in their
public utterances they pay little

ACTIVITIES IN COUNTY
FARM BUREAU WORK
by W. y. HAMMARGREN
County Agent.

The third annual potato tour
of this state will go through Pine
county. They will arrive at Pine
City in the evening of August z,
where a potato meeting will be
held that evening. Subjects of
potato diseases will be one of the
main topics; also moving pictures
will be shown Of methods used
in various parts Of the country in
potato culture. The members of
the tour will stay at Pine City
that night and at nine o'clock
next morning field meeting
will be held at A. w. Sommer's
farm west of Pine City, inspect
ing some of Mr.. Sommer's field
certified potatoes. They will
then go from there to August
Wickstrom's New York Rurals on
peat land, two miles north of
Pine City, on No. 1. Meeting will
be held at ten o'clock. From
there they will go north on No.
l to John Won Rueden's farm IL
miles south Of Hinckley, on No.
/, where inspection and field
meeting will be held in his field
of certified cobblers.
This will be an opportunity for
all those interested in potato cul-
ture TO meet their neighbors and
inspect some fields and at the
same time get in touch with
some potato specialists who will
be willing to answer any ques-
tons in regard to potato dis
eases. 1t will be worth while for
any one to attend this tour and
get acquainted with any Of our
common diseases as well as sonse
of the uncommon ones.
Remember the potato meeting
at Pine City on the evening of
August z. The following day
august 81 the tour will visit
the above mentioned places. We
hope that the potato growers
that are interested will make it
a point to attend this tour. Come
and spend day with your potato
grower friends.

The Band Concert.

The Askov Band opened the
happy week of festivities Sunday
evening with a concert, playing
as the initial number the force

was well received by the large
audience and placed them in a
receptive mood for the balance of
the evenings program.
Just before the band played its
first number Mayor A. Gravesen.
functioning in his capacity as the
village father. gave a brief but
good address Of welcome
in a clear ringing voice
that could be heard in the
remotest corners Of the building
land way outside as someone ex-
pressed it.
After three more selections by
the band q cornet solo-"Remem-
brance Of Liberati'--was well
rendered by Sigvard Sorensen.
He received a hearty applause
and responded to an encore. Re-
alizing that this young man has
played but three years he has
big possibilities and will develop
rapidly with the earnestness he
puts into the work. The fruits
of labor viii eventually crop out
and he has labored with the cor
net.
Miss Hazel Hoglund, the tall
ented young pianist of Finlayson,
who instructs weekly at Askov
played two heavy numbers
Waltz" by Chopin and Country
Gardens" by Grainger-which
were well received and she re-
sponded TO an encore. Her selec-
tons were also memorized.
Chopin's waltz was perhaps
little more classical and higher
degree Of music than ordinarily
heard by an audience in a small
village but the manner in which
Miss Hoglund was received indi-
Gates that her brilliant technique
and great ability for memorizing
was thoroughly appreciated.

GRASSHOPPERS

The grasshopper situation.
while improved, is still bad in
Chisago, Stearns. Todd, Benton,
Sherburne, Pine. and Isanti coun-
ties. according to reports receiv-
ed by the entomology division at
University Farm. St. Paul.
Most of the damage was done
by the hoppers in the early
stages of their development.
The loss of pastures in many
localities was reported, and
doubtless. pastures which seemed
unthrifty in other localities we're
simply denuded by young hop
pers. Now that the hoppers
have matured and are flying
about, they are more noticeable,
and reports Of their presence are
more frequent.
1t is still not too late to use
poison bait. consisting Of 100
pounds of coarse wheat bran
free from shorts. 5 pounds of
crude white arsenic, 5 pounds of
salt, 3 ounces of amyl acetate

molasses Glow grade). and from
10 to IL gallons Of water
enough to cover from ten TO IL
acres, scattered in flakes.
The entomologists at Univer-
sity Farm are asking that the
presence of hoppers anywhere in
the state in considerable numbers
be carefully reported, in order
that preparations may be made
to fight them next spring. IL.

the pests through the winter-as
