On Monday of this week, H. w.
Stone shipped ahigh grade Red Polled
calf to LIE Sueur county. 1t was six
months old and weighed sos lbs. If
any of the other older counties in the
state wish for blooded animals with
which to improve their herds, be it
understood that Stevens is able and
willing to supply them,
we have been told Of one old settler
who feels keeniy disappointed, be-
cause, not knowing the time of meet
ing of the "Old Settlers Association
he was unable to attend. We feel
very sorry for him, but don't care
much. He should subscribe for and
read the TRIBUNE. Then he would
know what is going on in the world.
A company of nine German farm
ers, now living in Stearns county,
has looked this county over during
the past week, with the intention of
buying farms upon which to make
their future homes. They left very
fayorably impressed with what they
eaW and it is quite probable that in a
snort time they will buy land and
settle near Morris.
Crop reports indicate that through
out the wheat producing regions, this
years crop is to be a partial failure,
In this particular locality, however,
the growing grain promises unusually
well. This is unfortunate for the
great mass of wheat growers, but it
means high prices and prosperity for
all those fortunate enough to be resi-
dents of this highly favored place,
RI. Hall, A. Dekay, H. w. Stone
ST., J.. H. Pushor, I. II. Stanton, J.
K. Perkins, d. e. Smith, E. P. Watson
and Alfred Jones, have returned
from Moorhead where they attended
the dairymen's convention last week.
It seems to be the opinion of each of
these gentlemen that the convention
was success and it's work will great
Iy stimulate the dairy interests of the
state.
Olive Branch If there is more
beautiful spot than this part of Min
nesota at this season, when the vast
fields Of growing crops, the unbroken
prairie, every tree, shrub and plant are
clothed in the deepest green, with
here and there mirror-like lake to
reflect the beauties of its surround
ms, it must be beyond the explored
limit of creation, as we have never
yet seen or read of it.
Gen. r. III. Barrett sold $50 bushels
of No. Northern wheat in Duluth on
Monday June end at SO cts per BUSH
ell. Wheat of the same kind and
same grade on that day would bring
but 85s4 cents PSF bushel in Minneapo-
lis. This shows plainly. what has often
been shown before, that Duluth is the
best market for grain in the Northwest.
In selling grain farmers should avoid
Minneapolis buyers as thoroughly as
possible.
