Marshall Reporter: Senator Sam
Peterson, of Brown county, is just
now taking great interest in agricul-
ture,and is visiting all parts of his dis
trict to see that the soil is right for
senatorial seed and the fences in good
shape to keep out Redwood cattle.
Sam is one of the slickest most unscru-
pulous and most unreliable politicians
in the business.
The track at the Driving Park is
being put in excellent condition for
the racing during the last two days of
the fair, and some of the crack horses
in the Minnesota Valley will undoubt-
eddy compete for the magnificent purs-
es that will be hung up. 1t is prob
ably true that the horses at the State
Fair, although there will be more of
them, will be unable to make better
time than thefhorses that will compete
in the Minnesota Valley Circuit, of
which Redwood county is a member.
The character of the races are such as
to insure sharp contests, and neck and
neck finishes. The agricultural and
live stock display will also be on
grander scale than previous years.
All in all the exhibition will be one
that will interest every person resid-
ing in the vicinity.
This year hasebeen more of an ex-

farmers in mixed farming than ever
before with satisfactory results, says
the Granite Falls Tribune. While the
wheat crop will not be enormous, still
it will average close to thirteen bushels
of as good an article as we ever raised.
Corn is yet maturing with chances in
its favor for caring if we get shower
or two during the month. Potatoes
have suffered extremely on account of
the long drouth, but the increased &C
reage will supply local demand at a
slightly inflated price over former
years. Flax is fair to middling, but
not prime crop, as whole, yet some
will realize 4, good deal. of money on
that crop as the price is higher than
for several years at this time. Barley
and oats are not to be figured on with
much dependence, especially The lat
ter. There will not be enough oats
for local cOnsumDtiOn. hnt corn will
