Crops in Southern Minnesota.
From the Mower County. Mercury, July 9.

From the Mower County Mercury, 9. %
During our trip to Austin Friday and Sat
urday last we were surprised to find the crops
in such poor condition. Although but one
week had passed since we passed over the
same.route still the crops looked frcm thirty
TO fifty percent worse than when we first
crossed the prairie. Two weeks ago the crops
appeared to be coming forward steadily and
in good shape, with indications for good
crop. Last week they all had the appearance
Of grain that was ready to cut although not
yet headed out. They had turned yellow.
Some say caused by chinoh bug Others say the
effects Of the heavy storms q few weeks ago
We incline to the latter opinion. A yield Of
from six to twelve bushels to the acre arc the
highest figures that We have heard any one to
express. Through the Cedar valley in and
through the west side of the county the wheat
is good and will likely be an average crop.
The farmers here must do one Of three
things: They must either go to raising stock,
laying tiles or sowing oats with the wheat; all
three ofthese plans are highly recommended.
We prefer the thing as in Illinois it has prov
en- a complete success. Itimproves dry land
as " ell as wet and is a permanent thing Re-
ports from our adjoining cornty, Solmstead,
are as bad, or worse, than here. The chinch
bug is raising Cain in that county. and be-
tween here and Rochester there is but two OF
three good pieces and there is plenty Of time
for those to spoil.

An Appeal for Aid.

A citizen of this State, residing near
Fergus Falls, a worthy member of the
Masonic order, had his hands and feet
frozen last winter and it became nccessa-
ry to amputate both hands and both feet.
He has family dependent upon him, and
upon his little farm there is mortgage
of $500: He will lose his all unless he
receives aid. All Masons and other
charitably disposed persons are requested
to forward to me such contributions as
they feel able and willing to make and
the same will be turned over to him and
his receipt published in due time. This
is worthy case and I trust that my ap,
peal IN his behalf will be promptly and
literally responded to. State papers are

day Of January, 18 ] ). G. Whittemore, of
Glenwood, was elected President; N. Rich
ardson, Of Little Falls, Vice President; E. Z.
Barnum, of sauk Centre, Secretary; and J.:
N. Moore, Of Morris, Treasurer. Important
legislation was secured authorizing the towns
and counties along the proposed line Of road
to vote bonds to the company to aid in its con-
5struction. Al the towns and counties along
the line, except Morrison county, submitted
the proposition to issue bonds for this purpose
at the general election in November, 1879,
which in most instances were carried by large
maiorities. The amount Of bonds asked to be
raised along the whole line was 5000, 600.
The proportion to. be raised by Morrison
county was s35, 600. The friends Of the meas
,ure, fearing disastrous results if it should be
submitted to vote at tie general election of
1879, postponed the same until the spring cleo
tion in 1880, at which d hard fought. contest
was had between the friends and enemies of
the bond measure, resulting in the success of
the measure ty majority of rs out of, 9S7
votes polled at the election. tits hard to ex-
plain why such an important and beneficial
measure should meet with such persistent and
determined opposition. Early in the spring
of 1879 books were ope2sd for subscription for
steek, on tho sale Of With nj money was raised
to commence the survey and location Of the
line, and about the first of June a corps of
engineers were organized and put in the field
for making the survey, and put under the
management of X. j. Kinney, of Glcnwood, ms
chief engineer. After working at the business
about two months he was found to be incom-
petent, and was discharged from duty. John
Abercrombie, his assistant, took charge of the
work for short time, when Col. G.. McClel-
Ian, an experienced railroad engineer, of St.
Paul, was engaged and took charge of the
surveying party during the balance of the
| season, starting out from Little Falls about
the last of July. A Apreliminary line was then
| run through to Browns Valley, and the line
was located back as far as Sauk Centre, when
on account of deep snow, it was found imprac-
ticable to continue the work. and work was
suspended, since which time it has only been
partially resumed.
