ADVISES THE CUTTING
OF ALL POSSIBLE HAY.

Farmers in the Minnesota Arrow
head country are advised by M. J.
Thompson, superintendent of the
Northeast Experiment station, to cut
every pound of hay they have on their
farms or on adjacent wild lands.
The hay crop in this section was
good and most of it has been put away
in nice condition, but it will be well to
garner the wild grass with such clover
as Is available around low spots, along
lanes and logging roads, as a protec-
ton for next year. The use of the
Scythe Is necessary in these places.
II was advised Sunday" said Mr.
Thompson, that farmers in south
central Minnesota were feeding first
crop alfalfa to their cows. Today I
learned dairymen near the Twin Cities
were moving oats and throwing them
into the pastures for feed. In western
North Dakota the county agents are
advising making hay of Russian

largest In the county and in which the
fingers of one hand while the territory
to be covered would demand at least
dozen or more. The lake resorts in
the district and there are over q hun
dred, are demanding protection against
hoodlum and vandal. Private cottagers
are demanding protection and there
are a dozen other interests which need
it in the district. Lake Vermiion re-
sorters and cottagers; BURNSIDE, Bear
Island, White Iron, Shagawa, Eagles
Nest Lakes and other lake resorters
and summer home residents are de-
handing protection. There should be
twenty deputies, who do their work, in
this district alone. Why the need of
an immense force in Duluth and vic
unity which is patrolled by a very eff
f1cient police force, is hard to explain.
We may be violating the confidence
of our informant when we make this
public but we feel that in the interests
Of the people who have invested their
money in the resorts and summer
homes on our lake shores, that some
thing must be done in regards to fur
nishing these people assurances that
their property will not be molested by
a horde of vandals every year and
nothing done to stop it and nothing
done to ascertain the guilty ones and
make an example Of them. Only
within the past two weeks have loot
ings Of property taken place. Burnt
side Lodge, Louis Larson, the Shagawa
Country Club and other places have
been looted. When anything is said
about it, you are informed to swear
"out warrant" BURNSIDE Lodge did
that little thing two weeks ago and a
party of young vandals were taken be-
fore the court and allowed to furnish
bonds for their freedom. Shortly after
this some one SHE'D a rock through
the windshield of guests car. In all
probability this was in retaliation for
the temerity of Manager Cook in
bringing the vandals to justice Had
we officers enough in the outlying dis
trict, such happenings would be greatly
leSsened.
Our advice to the county board is to
request the sheriff to see that people
in the outlying districts of the county
are projected. Give them an extra
force of tried and true deputies but
insist that they be put on in the
county outside of Duluth and prin-
cipally in this district where there is
