An electric light company Of St. Paul
has a car load of poles unloaded at the
depot and it would seem that New Ulm
will not have its light hid under a
bushcl much longer. What object the
St. Paul Company has in coming at
this late day is not apparent The New
Ulm Light Company has large force
of men at work on its side track and
plant station and will have every thing
in running order by July 1st, and as it
is composed entirely of resident business
men it is but natural to suppose that
they will receive the patronage of the
people. Future Developments will be
watched with interest.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that there is much poor and inferior
wheat in the granaries Of the farmers
of this section of the state. That much
of this kind of wheat was sown this
spring is we'll known and various pa
pers commented upon the fact at, and
long before, the time of seeding. In
many cases farmers, for financial reas-
ons. were unable to get better wheat
for seed and in fact the best wheat was
almost unobtainable unless it could be
shipped in from considerable distance.
Now it is not at all probable that this
wheat will give the best crop in the
harvest of 1889, if we be allowed to
cast this rather somber prediction so
fur in the future but we can speak of
what now is. If our farmers will con-
tinue to hold on to this poor grain from
year to year and Try to believe against
reason that some time they will get
good wheat from poor seed sown, they
will wait and wait for time to
come. We would advise cleaning out
and marketing of all the surplus wheat
