CROPS IN MINNESOTA.
Albert Lea Freeborn county, Standar

"
Sept. -: Corn is clear of frost, and is
big crop.
Window Cottonwood county, Reporter,
| Sept. II: The first frost occurred Monday
night, but corn and everything is beyond
Its reach and vegetation is fully prepared
for it.
Sank Rapids Denton county, Sentinel,
Sept. 10: S. Flint, of Langola township, re-
ports that but little threshing has been done
IN his neighborhood, and the yield from
fifteen to eighteen bushels.
Litchfeld Independeat. Sept. 10: Many
farmers expected cool summer to follow
the mild winter and therefore planted but
little corn, but this has been about the best
! corn season in the history of the State.
Monticello Wright county, Times, Sept.
~: The deliveries of wheat have largely
fallen off, owing to the decline in the price.
Those who threshed first and marketed their
grain at once seem to have hit the nail on
the head.
Chaska Carver county, Herald, Sept. ~:
The corn crop of Carver county is the largest
and best of the kind harvested in this county
for years. 1t is about all cut and in shocks
it will make up for the shortage in the
wheat crop.
Benson, (Swift County, 44duocate, Sept.
IL: 81. G. West, of Lac qui Parle, was in
town Tuesday, and he brought in a load of
No. wheat. Says he has 900 bushels more
of the same kind at home. It averaged 16
bushels to the acre.
Faribault Republican, Sept. II: The cane
mills in Morrstown, Rice county, are COM
nencing operations, and as there is large
amount of cane planted there will probably
be an unusual quautity of molasses and
sugar made this fall. Flowing has COM
menced.
New Ulm Herald, Sept. Is: Corn in
this State this year is simply immense.
-Four stocks to the hil-ten to fourteen feet
high two ears to the staik-big ones-to
say nothing of the nubbins. Corn dodger
will be all the rage the coming winter-and
such dodgers.
Melrose (Stearns county, Rscora, Sept. 10:
The wheat market is steadily declining, be,
ing now only TIC, &c, SIC and 32c for the
four grades. Some wheat is brought in that
looks very fine. but is not heavy enough to
grade No. l. Oats are quoted at 25c, but 60
slow at zoe. Potatoes are good this season,
and are selling for zoe.
Albert Lea Enterprise, Sept. -: Several
farmers in the town of Pickerel Lake have
been threshing some of their wheat which
was put into the stack loosely, and the yield
is very satisfactory. 1t has been averaging
about twenty bushels to the acre. We have
heard of no results from that which was put
into the stack bound yet. This will prob
ably yield much better.
Little Falls (Morrison county, Banner,
Sept. -: Charley Salisbury, of this town
ship. raised forty acres of wheat He thresh-
ed 1910 bushels of No. 1 wheat, besides
some so to 100 bushels of a lower grade.
This is little over 81 bushels to the acre,
and will be about the average of the wheat
crop through the county. And it IS good
one.
Cannon Falls Beacon, Sept. IS: 1t has
been proven that the wheat grown this sea-
son, though poor, will make good flour. 1t
takes more wheat of rejected grade to make
a barrel of -four, but the quality of the flour
is not essened. The dry weather which fol-
lowed harvest was certainly of great ben. fit
to wheat, quite perceptibly improving the
grade, especially when stacked and sweated
Pennington Press Dakota county, Sept.
II: A considerable quantity of wheat has
come to Lakeville all in damp, soft, un-
salable condition, weighing about fifty one
pounds to the measured bushel, and sold at
the elevator for so cents for sixty pounds
Surely this is hard season for the wheat
grower; the average yield per acre IN Lake
vile will not probably exceed ten bushels
with very little grading above No. 3.
Worthington Journal, Sept. -: J. w
Reed, of Summit Lake. informs US that some
threshing has been done in his section OF
the county. One piece of wheat yielded
twelve bushels per acre. VIM. Reeds went
nine bushels and he thinks the average will
run about eight bushels to the acre. He
threshed piece of flax which yielded seven
bushels to the acre. Oats are yielding abou,
twenty-five bushels to the acre. Corn is in
good condition.
Fergus Falls (Otter Tail county, Aduocate
Sept. II: Charley and Ferdinand Peters
have thirty bushels of wheat to the acre, and
a little over seventy bushels of oats. Mat
thew Wright's wheat turned oul twenty one
bushels to tie acre, and his sons County
Attorney WrighD yielded seventeen bushels
MIR. Swift threshed for Mr.. Fabian, of West
ern, one acre measured choice land, which
yielded the extraordinary amount of forty.
six bushels per acre.
Granite Falls, yellow Medicine county
Journal, Sept. II: Now this is the way il
stands; we don't know anything about lost
nation whc,t, in an ordinary year. But this
year We are satisfied that it is the best yield
we have and is the best quality. Mr.. Pow
ers has just threshed 60 acres of this va
riety of wheat that went nineteen bushel;
to the acre of part No. l and part No. 9.
Farmers generally are reporting good yield:
where this seed has been sown.
Lac qui Parle County Press, Sept. 6: Re
ports from some dozen townships indicate
that the general average in this county Ct
wheat per acre will not fall below tiftee1
bushels. This, with an excellent crop OF
oats, far potato yield. and decidedly
good promise of big corn crop, places Lac
qui Parle county in an enviable position anc
demonstrates beyond possibility of cavi
that 1t IS as safe place for settlers to SCI
their stakes as any portion Of the great
Northwest.
Cambridge City Gsanti County, Press
Sept. u: ''We were shown sample Of
syrup last Tuesday, made by A. S. Boone, Of
Bradford, from Amber Sugar Cane, and al
though it was not as clear as that sold il. the
stores it was much better in flavor, besides
one has the pleasure of knowing it to be
pure. He only planted half an acre las
spring but estimates the yield to be not les:
than forty gallons, which will certainly bt
