The Otter Tail County Farmer, Of Fergus
Falls, wrote @. A. Pillsbury in regard to the
adylsability of sowing wheat next year and
received a reply saying:
I'VE think there is every inducement for
farmers to put In every acre of spring wheat
they possibly can. The world has the shortest
crop ever known and the supplies will be alb
solutely exhausted before another crop is fit to
use, and In our opinion we shall see very much
higher prices before another year comes. We
think 1t will take two or three good big crops
before we get back to the era Of low prices We
have been having for the last two or three
years. Isl
An Aberdeen telegram to the st. Paul Globe
Of recent date says: Every night for week
past, as soon as night has fallen upon the city
and the electric lights blaze out like radiant
white stars the mournful voice Of the wild
goose, harbinger of approaching winter, has
been heard above the flaming arcs. The lights
are visible for miles about, and every flock
which passes in their lofty southwark flight
pauses toinvestigate the singular phenomenon.
Occasionally wing or snowy neck is seen,
| as, like phantoms, they play and circle within
the area Of light. Local sportsmen have often
tried to bring the feathered monsters down,
with but little success. ''The homo Of the
savage and the coyote' Is something Of a
chestnut Why don't the modern boomer bury
this phrase and draw his comparisons some-
thing after this style: 'STen years ago, my
friends, tho feathery tribes, the wild goose, the
brant and graceful swan, passed BY night or
BY day over desolate waste. To-day the
migrant focks pause in flight to sport in the
halo Of modern science, the electric light,
which burns at every corner Of our busy
Streets"
