COUNTY FAIA
The Fair Opcnel yesterday with an
attractive programme of vegetables,
| stock, girls, politicians, and II few peo-
pie. T;le morning WAS clear but by
noon the sky Was cloulpd over and the
present outlook promises rain, which is
much netded-down in Michigan
We hope still that the weather will e
| favorable for the rest Of the week and
give our fair Il fair chance. To-day
there is Il prospect OF Il good attendance
are rushed with work.
LATER.-As we go to press, it is
raining will, prospect of continuing
all day. Hope it will not turn to snow
again.
We understand that }. Il. Smith, OF
Heron Lake, has finished his tow mill,
and will soon be ready to go TO work.
MIR. Smith is one of the lice men Of
Southwestern NJ nnesOta, and will this
winter press tho uSandS OF tons of hay,
| and manufacture endless amounts Of
tow. Why do not some of the business
| men of Window invest in such enter
prises? Thousands OF tons OF flax fibre
go to waste every year, which could be
manufactured into Il marketable COM
| modify with profit to the maker as well
as the farmer. Mr.. Smith is growing
| rich through the pluck and enterprise
he possesses, and is making the country
| around him wealtly-The resources of
Window in flax and hay are equal with
those of Heron Lake, and instead Of
perishine rs they do, the profits of far
| mcrs ought to be increased and the
| country made better off by utilizing
what now makes food for the fiery ele-
| ments. We cannot help thinking if the
| business men of Window would invest
! in tow and hay mills they would not
| only help themselves but develop the
| country Window Reporter.
| True us Gospel, Huntington, and jnst
what the ADVANCE has been urging
down this way. We said in 4 former
article that hay can be sold at $40 ton
in Saltwater and $11 to ST. in St. Louis.
| The freight to St. Louis is fraction
over 81 and of course less to Saltwater.
At the outside, it would not cost above
81 to put hay down in either city, leav-
ing profit of several dollars ton. AS
to the manufacture Of tow, we are not
Informed, but we know that flax seed
is now S1.25 per bushe]. that in some
| instances 4 man and boy have this
year harvested so acres Of flax and that
for two years our farmers have been
saved by flax, which can be much more
economically handled than wheat,
while the seed is easier to procure, and
this year both the price and yield are
larger than those of wheat. Add to this
the sale of the straw, where there arc
tow mills, and it will be seen that flax
at present is our best crop, excepting
grass. To these advantages we must
add the fact that it subdues the land
better than any other crop.
