The report of the United States
statistical agent for Minnesota esti-
mates the increase in wheat acreage in
in the state for 1884 at 81 per cent, or
about $4,000 acres. This, with an
average yield equal to that of last season,
would add about !, 100000 bushels to
the total wheat production Of the state.
In some localities, however, the grain
is said to have wintered badly This is
particularly the case II unwooded
prairie sections. TO what extent this is
true, however, is not stated.
Webb Roster, shot twice by Fred
Grover at Genoa, Olmsted county last
week in dispute over jug OF whiskey,
has since died.
Joe Deiring Of Saltwater, a tinsmith.
has deserted his family, leaving them in
destitute circumstances.
Mrs. Sarah Gardner Of Faribault,
mother Of the late T. A Gardner, died
recently Of extreme old age.
The United States Agricultural de-
partn1ent's statistical agent for Minne-
sofa, in his report for May l states that
wheat planting is virtually finished in
this state for the season, some tracts of
low lands which the rains Of ten days
ago made too wet for planting, being all
that remained to plant. The aggre-
gate area planted will exceed that Of
last year by about 81 per cent. or some
5000 acres, and for the most part the
seed has been put into the ground I'M,
der favorable circumstances. Much Of
the grain is up and growing finely. The
number of acres to be put in oats, rye,
barley, and flax will exceed those
planted in these grains last year very
considerably; but the area planted in
corn will necessarily be largely reduced
owing to the difficulty experienced III
obtaining seed that can be depended
upon.
The total number OF immigrants and
settlers passing through st. Paul dur
