Matt. Gillian, the popular agent of
the Val Blatz Brewing Co.'s Mime
apolis branch, was in the city last
Tuesday and Wednesday, looking af-
ter the interests of bis firm which con-
trolls major portion of the beer bust
ness of this city.
Echo Enterprise: Oh! But amt
this awful! The REDWOOD GAZETTE of
to-day contains the information that
70 acres of Land in Swedes Forest
township, Redwood county, has been
sold for $4,000, and the supposition is
that the parties have bought it for
mineral purposes. Also the further
item that the first car of coal from the
mines has been shipped to Lacrosse,
Wis. For goodness sake give it to us
easy, julius.
j. E. Amerman, cashier of the bank
at Raritan, ILL.,, and Albert Rosburg,of
that place, were in the city last Tues
day, the guests of Swan F. Peterson,
of Belview. The two gentlemen rode
all the way from their home on BIZ
cycles and took the train here for
Mankato, where they will return home
on wheels. The distance from Rari-
tan to Slayton is SIS miles and was:
made in five days, some days the trav-
ell being as high as 12O miles. Not
withstanding this speed they were not
travelling for records.
The Redwood correspondent of the,
weather crop bulletin service for this
State did not get an estimate of the
yield per acre for this county in the
bulletin for the week ending Aug. 9TH.
But from all reports received at this
office, and through inquiries and tray
els the yield will be much higher than
originally anticipated. In fact the
belt around Morgan, and from there
west, including Vail and New Avon
townships, and then south to the
county line,throws up immense yields
to the threshing machine, and an
average of all the reports places it
over IL bushels per acre. Up to the
week ending Aug. 7th the bulletin says
the drouth continues unhroken, but
the excessive heat the past week has
been followed by cooler weather dur
ing Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday; and on Thursday and
Friday mornings light frosts occurred
in exposed places without doing any
damage of consequence. The harvest
is we'll advanced, and in number of
the southern counties small grain has
all been cut, and stacking is we'll in
hand. The yield of wheat as a rule
is better than expected, and that
which ripened before the excessive
heat of the previous week, is of good
color and has large and plump
berry, while that which ripened last
week skunk and the quality of the
berry is not as good. The corn and
potato crop has been injured beyond
recovery and even under favorable
conditions small yield is all that can
be expected. The crops in Carleton
county consisting principally OF pota-
toes and small vegetables have been
almost entirely destroyed by drouth
and grasshoppers; the latter are now
fast disappearing; the damage in other
localities to corn by chinch bugs how
ever is increasing. Reports regarding
the hay crop show that as rule it will
be light and in Stearns county it is
stated that the meadows are so dry
that the grass did not sprout after
cutting. In Renville county milk de-
liveries to cheese factories have fallen
off one half owing to the poor condi-
ton of pasturage. In the eastern part
of Stearns county strip of country
two miles wide and IL to Is miles long
was visited by destructive hail
storm which destroyed all crops in its
track.
