ON THIS OCCASION
CONTINUED from First Page

remember when a big six-foot-two man
at Soudan was shot and killed in mis-
take for partridge. A careful hunter
does not make such mistakes and sees
what he is shooting at before he pulls
the trigger; he does not pull loaded
gun muzzle first through a fence; he
does not carry loaded weapons in an
automobile and he takes the shells
from his gun before entering camp.
All guns are loaded all the time in the
opinion of the careful hunter.
President Hoover said a mouthful to
the American Legion in Boston when
he spoke in the following language
1--WE must sustain a preparedness for
defense that is impregnable, yet that
contains no threat of aggression"
This is physiological fact. You never
see fve-footer picking a row with a
well developed sixfooter The six
footer is prepared. The same applies
to nations. Preparedness is a great
peace lesson. Better guns ships air.
planes and soldiers are much cheaper
and effective before than Liberty bonds
after war. 1t also helps out the un-
employment and makes possible the
purchase of more liberty bonds in case
someone knocks the chip from our
shoulder.
To the small village in Owen County,
Indiana, Whiteall, goes the distinction
of being almost the exact center of
population of the United States. In
1870 the center of population was 80
miles east of Baltimore. In 1900 it was
l8 miles west of Baltimore. During the
following hundred years the population
center moved westward at the rate of
about 4.83 miles a year. From the
center of population there are just as
people to the north as there are to
the south, as many west as to the east,
as many in any direction as in the
opposite direction. The very effete
east should take notice
When we asked the candidates for
the Senate and Legislature the question
as to their willingness to arrange
things so that the Vermilion Range
would have an assured member of the
legislature without the necessity of
having the heavy voting end of the
district to combat, we did not cast any
aSperSionS on the members from the
MeSaba Range who have represented
the district heretofore. We admit that
the Vermilion has had representation
by nonresident and what we want
to see is representation by resident of
Ely, Tower, Soudan and Winton Such
a man would be more conversant with
conditions and needs of this section
than is a nonresident.
From small beginning few years
ago at Hibbing the bus business has
grown to immense proportions and
while at the beginning it only covered
a few locations around the range city,
it has now grown to a net work of
transportation lines covering the entire
United States. Little did Messrs. C.
Wicklund and Ralph Began think that
their enterprise would revolutionize the
transportation business in the few short
years since their bus child was evolved.
State authorities have issued a state
ment as to the extent of the enter
prise in Minnesota. 1t has shown that
there are 6,932.7 miles of bus routes in
the state. 1t is also shown that during
the past year 1922, 200 passengers paid
fares on the busses for a total of 49,
1924 miles. There is nearly eight

SWEET CLOVER

Those orchardists and da1rymen
in Kent county who are interested IN
orowine sweet clover on their farms
this year, and who have not alreauy
sown their seed, should plan 10 40
so within the next few days, as tnls
is the season of the year when the
seed should be sown for the best re-
sults for either clover crop III Iile
orchards or as a profitable pasture
for dairy cattle and other livestock
These are the recOmmendatlolls
which are being sent out this week
nv County Agent Russell Il. Wllson'
under whose direction this sweet
clover campaign has been conducted
during the past three years WIN I!e
result that about 5000 acres OIL IIlS
clover have been added to the total
legume acreage in Kent county Wlth-
in this period of time.
Since lime and seed 1noculatloh
are the two most essential factors IN
the successful culture of sweet cloV-
er. these points should be given due
consideration by those farmers who
are planning to grow this crop 1or
the first time on land that has new
or been in either sweet clover or
alfalfa. Although soil acldlty test
is required to accurately determine
the lime requirement, it is adVlsaDle
to apply at least 1000 pounds Oh
hydrated lime per acre, and then
make another application of an equal
amount of lime the following year
if necessary.
The usual rate of seeding sweet
clover is from Is to 20 pounds per
acre, but this quantity of seed may
he reduced if other seed such as al
sike or timothy should be mixed WIN
the clover in order to provide for an
earlier pasture the first year. SWEEP
clover seed that is sown this spring
will not make sufficient grown tC
be used for pasture by the hrst OF
second week in May, provided the
weather has been favorable for its
growth. Due to the coarseness o.
the plant, sweet clover is not useC
very extensively as a hay crop, sc
the two chief purposes in growing
this legume are for pasture and tC
improve the soil as cover crop OF
for plowing under at the end OF the
second year.
In ordering sweet clover seed ex
treme caution should be taken tC
purchase only the best seed Of the
white blossom variety, as observa'
tions and demonstrations have prov
en- this strain to be the most adapt
able for this section of the United
States. 1t is recognized fact that
good seed is the basis of profitable
crop production, ind too much en-
phasis cannot be placed upon this
important factor in our agricultural
program for more economic returns
from our farms.
