ESTIMATES.

ESTIMATES.
RATIO OF TIE GRAIN TO THE
SrALK.-A bushel of corn on a
general average represents ninety
1onrJs Of stalks. Hence il we
take the weight OF the bushel at
sixty pounds, the proportion OF
rain to the slower would be as two
10 three. But on Il comparison OF
the money values, it is found that
the ratio OF the grain to rhe stalk Is
Is two to one.
RATIO OF THE GRAIN To THE COB.
On a general average, the weight
If The cob is one-fifth the weight
Of the ear. or one-fourth the weight
of the Grain. The cobs have a
limited value, when ground up with
the main for feeding to stock. IN
such cases the cObs from a bushel
Of grain have been estimated 10y
some farmers as equal to five cents
in value.
NANrRIAL VALUE OF CORN.
The value of the manure result
inc from a bushel of corn, when
fed to animals, is equal according
TO chemical estimates, to about 20
cents for the grain and 10 cents Tor
the stover, making i total oil 80
cents.
Now, If III connection with these
figures we assume the market price
of corn to be so cents per bushel,
the yield per acre to lie 20 bushels,
and the cost Of production to be $40
per acre we shall then.be able to
form some idea Of what is compre-
hcnded IN
A BCSHEL OF CORN.
We shall find that it means,

county, and the people in general
know as much about the candidates,
and their fitness for Office, as we do,
We have concluded to leave the local
canvass entirely with the people, with
out trying to Influence single vote
either one way or the other. But we
believe that it is due to the public to
state that the editor Of the Banner
malicious!y and wiIlfulIy Ties about
these matters. la the first place his
account Of the Democratic caucus held
in Little Falls Is false, as we are in>
formed by those who were present.
We We're present at the Democratic
county convention and carefully noted
all the proceedings. bIr. Lachance
was ananineousW chosen chairman.
The convention voted by acclamation
for q candidate fur Auditor, and all Of
thshzdelegates but three voted for La
chance the first time. The three who
did not vote for him the first time were
Hon. John stun1pf. Chas. Burns, and
Matt. Klein. 1t WAS then moved
to make the nomination unanimous,
and every delegate who voted did SO
ia favor Of making l1r. Lachance the
Unanimous choice Of the convention.
We believe that every delegate except
ing Mr.. Stumpf, voted in favor of it.
We are quite sure that Messrs. Burns
and Klein did, both Of whom were
seated near US. But the Banner says
'rKimball moved to make the nomina-
ton unanimous. When the motion was
put there werejust three votes for it, and
five or more against it, but Lachance un-
blushingly declared himself unanimously
nominated.'
What the editor Of the Banner ex>
poets to gain by publishing such
groundless falsehoods about so public
and we'll known a matter as county
convention we can hardly conjecture
Mr.. Lachance was clearly the unani>
nous choice Of the convention, except>
ing one delegate, and we do not be-
lieve that the editor Of the Banner
can furnish the name Of single dele>
gate who was present and belieyes to
the contrary. We do not say this
in the interest Of any candidate, but
simply to contradict an unquestionable
and deliberate falsehood about a pub:
lie matter The truth should hurt
nobody. But our space is limited, and
the forty Or fifty other willful fabrica~
tions that appeared in the Banner,
and that we designed to notice, will
have to go uncontradlcted.

Legislative Matters.

1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to set
forth in detail the reasons why Mr..
Simmons should be elected to the leg
islature, because the voters Of this
county are already acquainted with
many Of those reasons, and will give
him a rousing majority. In the first
place it is we'll known that he is not
in any degree Influenced by railroad
corporations nor by any other inter-
ests that conflict with the interests of
the people. It is generally known
that Mr. Bly, has been, for
many years, a heavy contractor With
the Northern Pacific railroad company,
and bis interests aud business dealings
have been such as to place his sym>
pathies with the railroads. This
would not be as great an objection to
Mr.. BLY, as it is, IF there were not
pending at the present time the claims
Of two hundred settlers on railroad
lands. Those CLAIMS are still pending,
and will be pending until Congress is
memorialized by the Minnesota Leg
islature and further enactment se~
cured. We do not believe that E. r..
Bly, is the n,an to trust with those im>
portant interests, conflicting as they
do with the interests Of the railroad
company. Mr.. Simmons has been an
active advocate, and is yet, Of the set>
tiers, in their troubles about their
lands, and can be safely trusted to do
everything possible to secure to them
their rights. Again, on the Fort Rip-
ley military reservation there are
number Of settlers whose claims are
! liable to be disputed by the company,
and all these settlers should use all
honorable means to elect Nr. Sim
mons. We will assert, fully confident
that nobody will question the truth of
what we say, that Mr. Simmons is as
generally and as enthusiastically en-
dorsed by the people who know him,
irrespective of party, as any candidate
who was ever nominated in any dis
trict in this State.
We are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Fridley, but he is favorably
spoken of. Mr.. Simmons believes
that he will be elected, and isahard at
work for him.
Little Falls transcript. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1876-1894, 1878-10-31

Every word Of that is false, and the
editor ofthe Banner knows it, and he
also knows how much pay he got for
publishing such an infamous and noto>
rlous collection Of falsehoods. But
the editor: of the Banner could not
perform his part of the contract with
Washburn without maligning the only
State paper by which the Democrats
Of Minnesota are represented, tho St.
Paul Globe. He calls the Globe the
"Daily Blackguard," and charges its
editor with numerous misdemeanors.
The Banner devotes a couple Of col>
timns to county affairs. AS all the
candidates on the county tickets are
personally known throughout the

From the St. Paul G lobe.
Laying all other questions aside, it
is perfectly plain to everyone that Mr.
Donnel1y can render more service in
Congress to the District than can Mr.
Washburn. The House will be Dem
ocratic by thirty or forty majority, and
the man who is in harmony with Chat
party is the one who can secure favors.
A Republican in the next Congress,
will be at.thc tail of committees and
without power to aid himself or any
one else: A Democrat will have but
to explain his wishes to obtain them
Donnelly's six years in Congress give
him VALUABLE experience with which
to enter upon new career.
