Editors Free Press:
The crops in this vicinity are now
being gathered, and the farmers are
happy.
l.. NJ. Thomas threshed fifty acres
Of wheat averaging twenty bushels
per acre.
The corn crop is good yield. Sod
corn averages from 40 to so bushels
per acre, and old ground from SO to IS.
Your correspondent does not wish
to boast of the big crops in Dakota,
but yesterday picked Marblehead
squash which weighed As pounds, two
strapped leaved turnips weighing rs
pounds each; "a potatoes flied Il half
bushel, and from three acres of sod |
shall have ut least 1000 bushels of
turnips.
Land seekers are plenty, and New
Ashton, Il town only one month old.
is growing very rapidly. AT present
there is one general store, two good
hotels, II newspaper and several land
offices. A good general store, hard
ware and drug store are very much
needed. The hotels in town are
crowded both night and day, and the
railroad men are obliged to sleep in
their cars.
Coal is selling ut $3.50 in ear lots
and $3.50 at retail. Good hard wood
can be bought here for IS per cord.
No. wheat is worth Sl 20 per bishel.
Hon. Joseph Burger, of Mankato,

New Ashton is the only town on
the Hastings d Dakota line west of
Milbank that has received any wheat
for shipment. A new warehouse is
being put in here by Hastings firm,
with view of buying and shipping
wheat.
New Ashton Is located one half mile
from the Dakota, or James, river, and
is the present terminus of the Hast

located in the county, and will no
doubt be the county seat of Sphinx

He informs us he sold them to Mr..

him considerable money. Mr.. Moses
does not depend solely on wheat to
make money, but is engaged quite
extensively in cattle and hog raising.
w. S. Aldridge, perhaps the largest
raiser of hogs in our town, is engaged
