1t is stated upon competent authority
that President James ]. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad. now in Europe, has
cabled to General Manager Warren to
suspend all operations relative to re-
moving the freight division from St..
Cloud to Melrose,' owing to the strin-
gency of the money market. This is in
terpreted by the St. Cloud people to
mean an indefinite posrponement of the
proposed change. The Journal-Press
OF that CITY deyotes colum to tine mat
ter. and winds up with the following
figures, which are ex parte, and given
for what they are worth. Melrose fig
ures are not at hand.
1t would be false economy to remove

average number of train men employed
during the past five years-just what
saving would be made annually
in the equalization of the runs. His
figures, while not perfectly accurate, are
near enough to make good argument.
He places the savings at $4,000 an
nually. To make the change would
mean an investment bv the railroad
company of all the way from $500, 900
to 100000 the first year. This saying
OF 81. 900 would scarcely pay the inter
est on the money invested in the i'm

further loss in the amount of business
now given the Great Northern by the
business men of the city.
Thus vanishes the Melrose "boom."
Those who have lived in this part of the
state for any length OF time know it will
appear again, and still again, but the
blow it received this season appears to
be body blow-and below the belt.

A WORD TO WHEAT GROWERS
The Best Methods are the Only
Ones which Fay the

Producer. -
Wheat growing in this section OF Min
uesota is not the most encouraging of
occupations, and yet there the great ma
joritv of farmers are, of necessity. COM
PEELED to engage in it more or less ex-
tensiyely. 1t therefore is of the greatest
Importance that the best and most pro-
duotiye methods be employed, methods
which are economical and will Weld the
best returns.
To properly seed the ground, at the
least expenditure OF seed and with as
surance of certain and increased crop is
the foremost consideration. And right
here the advantages OF the drill over the
broad cast seeder is very evident. On
all sorts otland, one season with another,
an increased profit of from twenty to
thirty per cent, is insured. All the best
farmers, those who have studied the
matter all coincide in this opinion Very
naturally so. Glance for a moment at
the advantages. The drill covers every
kernel, thus saving a full peck to the
acre in seed, which the Seedcr wastes by
leaving 1t exposed ON the surface, even
with the best of narrowing, but the seed
is all buried evenly, and below the
moisture line, lnsuring immediate and
strong germiatiOn, hence a more viger-
Gus plant which not only increases the
yield, but the quality OF the grain.
1t is fact that a farmer cultivating
sixty acres of gram will secure more and
better wheat by putting in fifty acres
with drill and summer following or
planting with corn the remaining ten
acres. This is no tanciful claim, but it
has been proved time and time again.
Harrow the ground we'll before putting
a drill OIL and you will secure results
impossible with a broadcast seeder. In
a dry season, and the one coming prom
Uses to be such, the advantages OF this
method are greater yet, for the winds
cannot uncover drilled in grain.
There are two objections, and only
two urged against the drill-one that
they are more expensive. Granted, but
the extra expense is returned every fall
they are used. Again, they require more
power. Granted again, but all the ex-
ira power is pr o ftably used in cultivat-
ing the soil, stirring it at the time and
in the manner to secure best results.
OF course the HERALD does not urge
every man owning seeder to threw it
away and rush into the market for
drill-even if he did so he would proba-
bly, be the better off at the end OF three
years-but those contemplating pur-
chasing should weigh the matter well,
Investigate thoroughly, and the result
will be satisfactory.
