BRUSH BREAKING PLOW
OPENS EYES OF FARMERS
tfust about th best bit" of'enter
prise was that of yesterday on the
part of E. R. Jenkins and S. A. My
ers, tooth of Minneapolis, who hap
pened to notice where some diffi
culty had been experienced in plow
ing certain- pieces of land in this vi
cinity where a Fordson tractor was
-being used in a demonstration. The
trouble was with the plow, the right
sort not being used.
It so happened that these gentle
men were in Hamilton, Canada, and
with them was one of a line of brush
breaking plows, they representing
the manufacturer. Upon returning
to Minneapolis, they shipped the
plow to Bemidji and they arrived
yesterday. The plow was taken $o
the farm of George Miller, "the po
tato king," who had just purchased
a Fordson. The plow was hitched to
the Fordson and in one hour and'
fifteen minutes had torn up a tract
of about the toughest stumps in ex
istence, an area as large as six horses
could do in an entire day. The vis
itors then continued on their way
home.
Mr. Miller said it was the most re
markable piece of land .breaking he
ever saw or heard of, and he came
to Bemidji with a load of the stumps
to make good his claim.
GOOD CROPS IN THE RED
RIVER VALLEY ARE ASSURED
Good crops of barley, oats and
wheat are assured in the Red River
valley for this year. All reports in
dicates the poorest is about as good
as the annual average and in some
sections prospects are as good as have
ever been seen. In the southern part
of Grand Forks county wheat gives
every appearance of averaging twen

county will need slightly more than

pany now a member of thetbattalion
of which the band is the official or
ganization, and recognition of the se
lections was enthusiastic.
Recruiting Sergeant Foucault and

On the return trip, a chap in a
new car which he was hardly able to
operate, owing to lack of experience,
ran the car occupied by Lieut. A.^ B.
Palmer and party onto the side* of
the road where the bank was. steep,
and when help came up the occu
pants were holding the car at a
dangerous angle to prevent its over*
turning.
